After the big cat meat was roasted, everyone got a piece, and even the golden retriever got a piece of meat.
The golden retriever smelled the big cat meat placed in front of it, and ran to Yao Xiaoqing in disgust, reaching out for the ham sausage.
"The little thing is still picky." Yaohu smiled and gave the meat to Mufeng, wrapped the rest in palm leaves and put it in his backpack.
Yao Xiaoqing gave it a piece of ham, picked up the lynx meat and took a bite: the meat was quite tender, but it had a strong smell of mutton.
Seeing everyone eating Poria and meat with happy faces, Yao Xiaoqing also started eating.
After eating and drinking, everyone fetched water to put out the fire, packed up their belongings, and rushed towards their destination in high spirits.
After a night's rest, Shan Hedashi, Yao Hu and the others were in much better spirits than yesterday.
After eating meat and poria, everyone had oil and water in their stomachs, their stomachs were no longer empty, their spirits were much better, and they were able to travel more than twice as fast as yesterday.
At noon, it started to drizzle, but fortunately the trees were tall and the rain couldn't get on everyone.
Everyone hurried along in the misty mountain forest until dark. Yaohu took everyone to a cave and stayed in the cave.
Seeing Yaohu and Mufeng looking tired, Yao Xiaoqing quietly gave them milk tablets and toffee to Mufeng and Yaohu.
He also gave them compressed biscuits to snack on when they were hungry.
The father and son quietly ate it while Mu Feng looked at Yao Xiaoqing and smiled silly.
Coming out of the cave early the next morning, Yaohu led everyone on the road without stopping through the jungle. They crossed a small stream, climbed over two hills, and went down the mountain into a forest of mixed trees.
After walking in the forest for more than an hour, we entered another bamboo forest.
When a group of people were exhausted from walking, their eyes suddenly opened up: a flat river valley appeared in front of everyone.
There are continuous mountains on both sides of the river bank, the broad floodplain is covered with trees and low shrubs, and the meadows near the river are full of colorful wild flowers.
From a distance, I saw the river flowing meanderingly from north to south, and wild ducks and waterbirds were flapping their wings and flying out of the grass beside the river. The golden retriever saw teal ducks and waterbirds flying out of the grass, and scratched his head and ran towards the river.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and felt that he was in a paradise.
Yao Hu turned to look at everyone, with a smile on his tired face, "Here we are, our new place of residence."
"It's great." Everyone looked at the new place of residence happily and felt very satisfied.
Shan said to Yaohu: "Chief, this place is really nice. I wonder if there are any other tribes nearby?"
Yao Hu thought for a moment, "I remember there was a Shenmu tribe living in this area, but I don't know which mountain forest they live in?"
Dashi said from the side: "The Shenmu tribe exchanges salt for salt in Qiu Mountain in winter. I heard people say that they never come into contact with other tribes. Every time they go to Qiu Mountain, they exchange a lot of magic medicine and salt. Their tribe is also protected by witches.
.”
Yaohu pondered for a moment and then said: "The Shenmu tribe has always lived in the mountains and forests. This area is not the territory of the Shenmu tribe. We will live here."
Dashi Heshan responded: "Yes, leader."
Yao Hu pointed to the mountain to the east, "Let's go to the top of the mountain first. There is a cave there."
The location of the cave seemed to be far away when walking. Yao Xiaoqing found a lot of gallnuts, elderberries, and other herbs at the foot of the mountain. Everyone walked for nearly two hours before reaching the place where Yao Hu said there was a cave.
At the foot of a mountain.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the cave is less than a foot high from the ground. Everyone climbed to the top with great enthusiasm, passed through the lush shrubs and vines, listened to the sound of the stream flowing, and under the leadership of Yao Hu
Went down to the entrance of the cave.
With stone knives and axes in hand, everyone chopped down all the shrubs and vines at the entrance of the cave and piled them aside.
A quite large platform was revealed, Yao Xiaoqing estimated it to be one or two hundred square meters. The cliff at the entrance of the cave seemed to have been chopped down, and the cave was about two meters wide.
Yao Xiaoqing thought: It would be great if there was a platform as big as the cave entrance in the cave.
Following the sound of water flowing to the north platform, I saw a small ravine flowing loudly about ten meters away.
Mufeng and Zupui walked into the cave first, and everyone followed them.
The cave is very dry, about thirty square meters, and there is still firewood left over from Yaohu and his friends’ last burning.
A dozen people squeezed into a cave that was only about 30 square feet, which was quite a bit crowded.
Everyone put things on the ground and started drilling wood to make fire.
Yao Xiaoqing remembered that he was bitten by insects in the cave last night and itched all over his body. He finally applied Fengyoujing before falling asleep.
Thinking of the many wormwood growing on the slope below when I went up the mountain, I asked Shang Mufeng to go down the slope, cut a bundle of wormwood and returned it to the cave and put it on the pile of firewood. The moist wormwood gave off bursts of green smoke.
Yao Xiaoqing put all the mugwort on the fire and called everyone outside the cave. Everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and smelled the fragrance of mugwort coming out of the cave. They saw many bugs of different shapes crawling out of the cave.
.
Hua looked at the bugs in surprise, "It turns out there are so many bugs in the cave, why didn't I know it before?"
Shan Amu smiled and said, "The cave we live in has been inhabited for a long time. Your skin and flesh are tender, and you are often bitten by bugs. Have you forgotten?"
Hua smiled and said, "I didn't know there were so many bugs." After the smoke in the cave dispersed, everyone entered the cave.
Uncle Chong and Uncle Shui went to the mountain to chop firewood with stone axes. Yun Amu and Shan Amu buried the remaining two pieces of Poria cocos in the fire.
Yao Xiaoqing checked the wounds of Yao Hu, Mu Feng and Dashi, and found that even after running for three days, their wounds were not torn or inflamed. He thought it might be the effect of the elderberry concoction, but also
It may be that they have such good repair capabilities because of their strong bodies and strong disease resistance.
He took the elderberries to the ditch, washed them, and boiled a pot again, and let the injured people drink a bowl. When Swine and Uncle Shui came back, everyone ate the remaining two pieces of Poria cocos and big cat meat.
After that, some of them lay down and fell asleep.
Yao Xiaoqing secretly took her underwear, flashlight, towel and soap to the ditch. Using the flashlight, she walked to a relatively low-lying place.
After scrubbing my body and putting on clean underwear, I felt a lot more comfortable. I washed my underwear clean and then climbed up with a flashlight.
As soon as he reached the top, he saw Mu Feng standing on the platform looking around. He was startled when he saw the light from the flashlight, "Xiao Qing, where have you been? What is this thing that shines like the sun?"
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment, "This is called a flashlight. When the sun's light is in it, it will shine. Do you want to take a look?"
