Yan Yu waved his hands anxiously, "Go and watch a little. When the monkey comes out of my father's cave, let him come to see me."
"Yes!" Qing Huo agreed and walked out.
Da Ma looked at the thin man in front of him, not believing his ears, "Is it true that none of the Black Bear people have gone back?"
Monkey nodded solemnly, "Yes, leader, I heard that the first time there was a team of twenty, one warrior returned."
"The second time, there were forty teams. Black Bear asked them to go to Shenmu Mountain and rob a few more tribes, and asked them to kill all the men in those tribes, leaving only the women."
"Black Bear waited for a long time, but there was still no news from the deer. He sent two more people to Shenmu Mountain to inquire. When I came back, those two people had not returned yet."
Da Ma was a little happy, but also didn't want to believe it. He was happy that the black bear was such a brave man when he died, but he didn't want to believe that the small Yaoshan tribe actually had the strength to compete with the giant bear.
He walked around the cave a few times, "Black Bear asked them to rob a few more tribes. It will take some time to go around the Shenmu Mountain. You go back and watch, and come back as soon as there is news."
"Yes!" The monkey bowed his head and came out of the cave.
Da Ma looked at the entrance of the cave and said to himself, "Twenty teams have killed only one. What weapon did the Yaoshan tribe use that is so powerful? When the monkey comes back, I will send someone to take a look!"
After Hou went out, he was taken by Qing Huo to see Yan Yu. He told Yan Yu what he said to Da Ma, and left in a hurry.
After hearing this, Yan Yu went back happily and told Chong the news.
After hearing this, Chong looked at him in surprise, "How many of them are there! They can actually kill twenty warriors of the team, and there are forty more behind them! Could it be that the Green Witch used some magic to do this?"
Yan Yu leaned against the cave wall, feeling that he had overlooked something. He thought about it for a while, but still couldn't remember it.
"Impossible, the green witch can do any magic, she is just smarter than the giant bear!"
Chong smiled and kicked him, "Don't worry now!"
Yan Yu rolled his eyes at him, "There are still forty teams, and there is no news. I can't rest assured until the monkey brings back the news."

The two people sent by Black Bear to the Yaoshan tribe to investigate the news have returned to the tribe. Jiang Li and Muba also arrived at Sishan, and they followed them outside the tribe.
The tall man said to the black bear: "Chief, the Yaoshan tribe is still there, but we haven't seen the deer, the snake, or our warriors."
"What did you say?" Black Bear stared at him fiercely.
"I, I..." The tall man was so frightened that he could not speak.
Black Bear pointed at the short man, "Say!"
"We didn't see our warriors, the Yaoshan tribe is still there." The short man finished quickly and looked at the black bear anxiously.
The black bear's vision went dark and he fell down on the animal skin. After a moment, he raised his head, looked at the two people with blood-red eyes, and roared: "Get out, get out!"
"Yes, leader." The two hurriedly ran out.
Black Bear couldn't believe what the two men said. He would rather believe that the deer ran away with the people than believe that his warriors were killed by the Yaoshan tribe.
He stood up suddenly, picked up a bone knife and walked towards the cave nearby. When the woman in the cave saw his eyes were blood red and he was holding a bone knife in his hand, she was so frightened that she hugged the little boy playing beside him tightly.
"Chief, you, you..."
The boy stretched out his hand towards him, "Father, Dad!"
The black bear squatted down and looked at him lovingly. He gently rubbed the boy's furry head. He looked at the woman and said, "I'm going to Shenmu Mountain. Cuiyu will come back with the woman who collected it. Please tell her."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and nodded hurriedly, "Yes!"
The black bear went out and roared, and a small team ran over, "Chief!"
The black bear shouted with stern eyes: "Take someone with you and follow me."
"yes!"
The team soon arrived in front of the black bear's cave with a dozen warriors carrying weapons.
Black Bear held the bone knife and waved his hand, leading them towards the tribe exit with a gloomy face.
Jiang Li and Muba were hiding in the tree. When they saw them coming out, they looked at each other. After they walked over, they quietly climbed down the tree and climbed up.
Muba whispered: "Chief Jiang Li, I think they are going to Shenmu Mountain."
Jiang Li said calmly: "It's better to go over there. There is a hill in front of us. Let's go there and wait for him."
"Yeah!" Muba hurriedly followed.
About half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the hillock that Jiang Li mentioned and hid behind a big tree that had lost all its leaves.
Jiang Li took out a jade wrench and put it on his thumb. He took out an arrow and put it on the string. These arrow shafts were made of a kind of hardwood he collected in the mountain forest, and the iron arrowheads could penetrate leather armor.
.
After a while, a sullen black bear appeared on the mountain road ahead with his men.
Jiang Li half-knelt on the ground and looked at the black bear coldly. After a moment, he aimed the arrow at the black bear's throat, released the bowstring, and with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot through the air.
"Poof!"
The black bear stared forward, clutching his neck, and fell to the ground. The warrior behind him looked blankly at the black bear lying on the ground, and saw that his mouth was wide open, trying to suck in a breath of air, and he made a sound in his throat, and his feet
After a few hard kicks, there was no movement.
"The leader has been shot!" The team suddenly reacted when they saw the arrow on the black bear's throat, shouting and pounced on it. The others clenched their weapons and looked around nervously.
Jiang Li shook his head at Muba, and the two quickly went down the mountain and disappeared into the forest.
Muba looked at Jiang Li with admiration and gave a thumbs up, "Chief Jiang Li's arrows are really accurate!"
Jiang Li glanced at him with a smile, "If you practice hard, you can be like me." He felt that the people here were simple and honest, and they would say whatever they wanted and would not hide it.
Muba nodded, "Xiao Qing also taught us, but our accuracy has never been as accurate as Xiao Qing's."
Jiang Li glanced at Muba in surprise, "Your bows and arrows are also made by Qingsha?"
Muba said proudly: "Yes! The green witch brought the bamboo we found and made the wooden arrows. She also made the wooden arrows. The green witch can do everything. The wolf's leg was injured and he couldn't walk. He is also a green witch.
Cured. Our young shaman is a person protected by the gods."
Jiang Li nodded, "You green shamans are indeed very capable."

Yao Xiaoqing used the sickle to cut for a while, and then Shan Amu rushed to collect ramie silk.
The sun was shining brightly, and the thin ramie silk had already dried thoroughly. Yao Xiaoqing carried the basket and walked from house to house, straightened out the ramie silk, rolled it up, put it in the basket, and carried it downstairs.
Put it in the main room.
Ah Chongbo and the others carried the millet and grain back to the yard.
Hua and Dongxue came with their big bellies. The three of them spread out the millet and dried it in the yard until the afternoon. After beating it with a flail a few times, the grain fell off.
At night, a bonfire was lit, and the millet was put into a sieve to remove the grains and dust, and then carried upstairs to spread out to dry.
