Mufeng put down his backpack, took out a pumpkin, smiled and gestured: "Where is your leader? We are here to thank him!"
Someone recognized Mu Feng and hurriedly walked towards the hut.
At this time, the man walked out of the hut. He saw Mu Feng smiling at him. He pointed at Mu Feng and then at himself, "Are you looking for me?"
"Yes, looking for you!" Mufeng nodded with a smile and handed the pumpkin to him, "We are here to thank you for helping us."
The man shook his head, "I can't have it. Your backpack is so useful!"
Mufeng smiled and put the pumpkin in front of him, "Pumpkins are better than baskets. If you plant the seeds in them, you can harvest pumpkins all over the house!"
The man looked at Mu Feng in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
Mufeng looked back at Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, tell him how to grow pumpkins."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the way he wanted to refuse but couldn't say anything, and felt a little funny in her heart, "Cut the pumpkin, inside..., do you remember it?"
Mufeng looked at the man and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't understand. You can go to our place and ask in the spring and you will know."
"I remember!" The man looked at Mu Feng, "Cut the pumpkin..." He spoke slowly and repeated what Yao Xiaoqing said word for word.
Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng looked at him dumbfounded, it turned out that this person never forgets what he has heard!
Mufeng looked at him and gave a thumbs up, "My name is Mufeng, and I am from the Yaoshan tribe in front of me. What is your name? What is the name of your tribe?"
The man said: "Qingshan tribe, my name is Jiang Li, thank you for the pumpkin."
"You're welcome!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "Jiang Li, let's go!"
Jiang Li nodded and walked them a few steps away.
Yao Xiaoqing walked a few steps, thought about it and then turned back, pointing to the place with the big tree in the back, and said to Jiang Li: "You'd better move the thatched shed back and build it there. It's too close to the river.
If it rains heavily and the water rises, it will be easily washed away.”
Jiang Li thought for a moment after hearing this. Although he didn't understand it very well, he felt that what she said made sense, "Okay!"
"Let's go!" Mu Feng waved his hand, and the brother and sister left together.
When the people from the Qingshan tribe saw that the Mufeng brothers and sisters were gone, they went over and picked up the pumpkin, "This fruit is really big!"
"Jiang Li, what is this?"
"They call this pumpkin! Jiang He, take it and cut it open, dig out the seeds inside, and find a stone to dry them out."
"Yes." Jiang He picked up the pumpkin and walked away, and the others followed suit and looked curious.
Jiang Li looked at the thatched shed and then at the big tree in the distance. Thinking of Yao Xiaoqing's words, he called two people to walk towards the place where the big tree was.
Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng returned to the tribe and saw that the thorns on the wall had been inserted.
"Xiao Qing, now you don't have to worry about the thorns when picking soap locusts. My father brought all the thorns in the forest back to the tribe."
"Well! In a few days, it will be time to pick the saponins, and these sugar canes, we can only chop them back and put them away as soon as possible."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the green persimmons on the persimmon tree and said, "Brother, please pick those persimmons back too!"
Mu Feng took a look and said, "The persimmons are not yet ripe, so they are very astringent and unpalatable!"
"Pick it off, cover it in chaff for a few days and it will be ripe." Yao Xiaoqing stepped forward and picked one.
Mufeng Diandian stepped forward and picked off the remaining ones, "If you can eat it with your hands covered, why didn't you tell me earlier? There are many in the mountains."
"It's not too late to tell you now! After defeating the black bear, we will go into the mountains to find fruit!"
"You two are back, come back soon for food."
The brother and sister turned around and saw Yao Hu standing at the gate. They walked over and said, "Father, Pumpkin has been lost to Jiang Li. There are only a dozen people in their tribe."
"Alas!" Yaohu sighed, "I have migrated from such a far place, and my body and bones can barely reach here."
Yao Xiaoqing glanced at Yao Hu, saw the sadness in his eyes, and comforted him: "Father, don't worry, our weapons are more powerful than the giant bear tribe, we won't lose."
"My father is worried that the black bear will send people here en masse. We have too few people and are no match for them. The situation is already like this. We can only take one step at a time."
Yaohu finally no longer had to be nervous in front of his children and spoke out his worries.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and said, "Father, after digging the trap tomorrow, we will close the gate and leave a small door for access. We will also surround the water outlet of the cave with yellow bricks and cover it with mulch."
"We are in our own tribe, where we have food and drink. Black Bear's people come from such a far away place, and each person can bring four or five days' rations at most. As long as he cannot attack the tribe, we will not lose."
Mufeng pointed to the wood piled in the open space, "We still need to get these wood in. Without firewood, we can only eat raw food."
"My father felt a lot relieved when he heard what you said." Yao Hu looked at his daughter, "Xiaoqing, my father is incompetent and has made you suffer."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled at him and said: "My father is already very capable. He has built our tribe better and better, and we have such capable sons and daughters as my brother and I."
Seeing that she was not worried, Yao Hu was completely relieved and smiled cheerfully, "It's not my father who has the ability, it's my daughter who has the ability!"
The family of three returned to the cafeteria, and everyone was sitting at the stone table, waiting for them.
When Yun Amu saw the two of them coming back, she took the taro and the others and started to prepare the meal. Scrambled eggs with shrimps, fried vegetables, stewed pig's feet with beans, salted duck eggs, and a jar of millet and bean porridge.
After Yao Hu sat down, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Let's eat!"
Everyone then brought their bowls and started eating.
While eating scrambled eggs with shrimps, Yao Xiaoqing thought of steamed eggs with shrimps and tofu, and said to Yun Amu: "Amu, scoop out a few bowls of beans and soak them in a bucket. I will teach you how to make new food tomorrow morning."
Zhi laughed after hearing this, "Xiaoqing, have you thought of something delicious again?"
Yao Xiaoqing swallowed the food in his mouth, "Soy milk, bean curd, tofu, tofu brain, tofu dregs... If we can make it, our beans can make a lot of delicious things!"
"Really?" Everyone's eyes widened.
When the people of the tribe saw that she was still thinking about fresh food, the heavy weight in their hearts fell.
Yun Amu's eyes lit up, "Xiao Qing, can beans really make so much food?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at her, "Really, we can also make bean sprouts. When the weather gets cold, we will try to make some bean sprouts to eat! Let me make it clear first! I just know that there are these things. How to make them, we still need them.
Take it easy."
Yun Amu smiled and nodded, "Don't be afraid, as long as you tell me what to do, we will take our time."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Okay, let's try to make bean curd and soy milk tomorrow."
After eating the food, the hunting team members followed Yao Hu to the warehouse.
Yao Xiaoqing went back and carried the water bag over, and poured the venom inside into the basin, which was just full.
Everyone looked at the milky white liquid and said in surprise: "I thought it was something black, but it turns out it's the same as goat's milk."
