The leader of the looters raised his knife to stab Yao Hu, but he hurriedly dodged to avoid it. The knife stabbed Yao Hu's shoulder blade, and Yao Hu cut off the leader's hand with the knife.
The leader held his wrist and turned around to run away. Yaohu jumped up and struck him in the back with a knife. The leader fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.
Yaohu gritted his teeth and pulled out the half of the long knife that was stuck in his shoulder blade, looked at it, and held it in his hand.
The other looters fled in all directions, and Mu Feng and the others pursued them fiercely with their swords raised.
At this time, the hunting leopards also arrived in the pine forest. They hurriedly dropped their prey and rushed over with machetes raised. Some of the looters shouted and rushed forward, while others dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground holding their heads.
The recalcitrant looters were attacked from both sides by Leopard and Mufeng, and were instantly eliminated.
Mufeng and the others were so tired that they sat down on the ground.
Leopard and Muba stepped forward and asked, "What happened? Where did these people come from?"
The bull looked at him, "They plundered the Spirit Bird tribe."
Mu Feng turned around and looked at the five people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, and said to Yao Hu: "Father, what should they do?"
Yao Hu thought for a moment, "Tie them up and take them back to the tribe." He said, looking at the sky, "It's getting dark soon, so hurry up and take them back to the tribe."
Mu Feng then saw that Yao Hu's shoulder was still bleeding and hurriedly got up, "Father, your shoulder is injured."
"It's okay," Yao Hu replied briefly, looking back at the bloodstained warrior, "Everyone, let's see who is injured?"
The seriously injured ones stood up and said, "Chief, we are fine, we can't die!"
A warrior named Anan was slashed in the back and was still bleeding. Others were stabbed in the thighs and shoulders with spears. Everyone had injuries of various sizes. Fortunately, no one died.
"Good job. Let's go back and treat the injury." Yao Hu looked around and asked, "Where are the people from the Lingque Tribe?"
More than a dozen people from the Lingque tribe helped each other and stepped forward, "Chief Yaohu, we are fine!"
Yao Hu looked at the few people and asked, "Are there anyone alive in the tribe?"
"They are all dead," one person shook his head sadly. "The hunters should have returned. The leader asked the survivors to join the Yaoshan tribe."
Yao Hu turned around and said, "Muba, Leopard, Spear, you take him to the Lingque tribe and bring the hunter back to the tribe."
The three of them responded in unison: "Yes!"
It was already dark in the forest, and everyone was worried that the beasts would follow the smell of blood and come to the pine forest. They packed up the prey and the backpacks containing rock salt, and helped the injured people back.
Yaohu and Shan grabbed the five tied people and pulled them back.
*****
Yao Xiaoqing, Dashi and the others were in the tribe, anxiously waiting for Yao Hu and the others to return.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and Yao Hu and the others still hadn't come back, everyone's hearts became heavier and heavier.
Yao Xiaoqing asked Quan to guard the door, went back to get a flashlight and a machete, and walked towards the back door at the foot of the mountain.
Gen Bo, who was guarding the back door, saw Yao Xiaoqing coming and said worriedly: "Xiaoqing, the leader and the others have not come back."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said, "I'll go meet them."
Genbo looked at her without opening the door, "The leader will be back soon."
While he was talking, heavy footsteps sounded outside the door, and Mu Feng's voice rang out, "Open the door, we are back!"
Yao Xiaoqing and Gen Bo hurriedly stepped forward, removed the latch, and opened the door. When they saw Mu Feng and the others standing there, they shouted with joy: "Brother, (Mu Feng) you are back!"
"We're back," Mu Feng said tiredly, "Xiaoqing, father and several warriors are all injured."
"I know, I'll go back and prepare things, and you can come back with the injured person."
Yao Xiaoqing hurried back, went straight to the stove when she got home, picked up the jar, pushed aside the ashes, put some pine needles in the clay stove, blew on the pine needles, picked up some charcoal and put it on top of the pine needles, and took a scoop.
Put the salt into the jar.
He entered the pharmacy with a flashlight, took hemostatic medicine and anti-inflammatory herbs, went to the main room, and took some resin lamps to light them. As soon as he took out the medical bag, Mu Feng and the others entered the courtyard.
At this time, Hua, Yuzi and Shan Amu also arrived.
Yao Xiaoqing took the gauze and herbs and said to the flowers and taro: "Clean the wounds of the injured warrior with the boiled salt water in the jar, and take the herbs to boil them."
"Yes, Qingsha." The two agreed and went to the kitchen with herbs and gauze. Shan'am and the others went to get some moxa, lit it, and placed it at the door.
Yao Hu said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, show Anan first. He was slashed on the back."
Yao Xiaoqing said: "Let him lie down on the kang."
Shan Amu stepped forward to help Anan take off his coat. Yao Xiaoqing saw the foot-long incision on his back and Hua brought him salt water.
Yao Xiaoqing helped Anan clean the wound, sprinkled the hemostatic medicine on it, and said to him: "These days, you should sleep on your stomach. Don't let the wound touch the water."
"Yes, Qingwu." Anan responded in an angry voice.
Mu Feng came back after placing the rock salt and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, where is my father? My father is also injured."
Yao Xiaoqing said anxiously: "I didn't pay attention. He asked me to treat Anan's injury and then went out. Find him quickly and I'll show him."
"Oh!" Mu Feng hurriedly went to find Yao Hu.
Yao Xiaoqing applied medicine to all the wounded, and then Yao Hu and Mu Feng came back together.
Yao Xiaoqing stepped forward and looked at him and said: "Father, you are injured, where did you go?"
"I'm going to see Muba and the others. Have they brought the people from the Lingque Tribe?"
Seeing her anxious look, Yao Hu comforted her: "It's okay. I still have the medicine you gave me. I asked Dashi to apply the medicine powder on the wound."
Yao Xiaoqing asked him to sit down and said, "Let me take a look at the wound."
Yao Hu sat down and put the knife that was broken into two parts on the kang, "Xiao Qing, look what is this made of?"
Yao Xiaoqing didn't look back, "Wait for me to clean your wound and reapply the medicine."
"Xiao Qing, my father's injury is on his shoulder." Mu Feng helped him take off his coat and saw that hemostatic medicine was sprinkled on the shoulder blade.
Yao Xiaoqing rinsed the wound with salt water. Seeing that the wound was only one inch long, he dried the area around the wound with gauze, sprinkled hemostatic medicine, and bandaged it with gauze.
"Father, it seems that this injury on your shoulder was not caused by a stone knife."
Yao Hu said: "The knife that stabbed me is on the kang. I asked you to look at it but you didn't look at it."
Yao Xiaoqing looked back and saw the two cut-off knives on the kang, "Hey! Does it look like it's made of brass?" She picked it up and saw that it was made of brass. It was very rough and had chips in the blade.
Yao Hu looked at her, "Xiao Qing, what is brass? Compared with our iron tools, who is better?"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "Of course iron is powerful, brass is also extracted from stone, and its texture is softer." It seems that someone has started to refine metal weapons.
After Yao Hu and Mu Feng heard this, they both breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as we are good enough."
