Early the next morning, Jiang Li, Yao Hu and the others returned to the Qingshan Tribe together.
The layout of the new house is the same as that of the Yaoshan tribe, with three main rooms, two wing rooms, and three east and west wing rooms. He found that the courtyard dam and the floor of the house should have been poured with white ash mixed with sand and gravel, and the wood on the windows
Smoother than those of the Yaoshan tribe.
Yao Hu looked at him with a smile, "Jiang Li, are you satisfied with it?"
He smiled and bowed to Yao Hu and the others, "Satisfied, so satisfied. Thank you for your hard work."
Yao Hu waved his hands cheerfully, "It's so hard to do some work! It's hard work for you to help us run that trip. When we finish the door, the wall will be built, and in about ten days, you can live in the new house.
.”
Jiang Li nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you can make arrangements."
Yao Hu smiled and said: "With Ah Chong and the others helping to build the wall, there is not much work to do. You can lead the people to hunt!"
"Okay!" Jiang Li agreed readily. He took Heiba and the other two tribesmen and walked towards the mountain.
Most of the food of the Qingshan tribe was exchanged for salt and millet. They must prepare more food before the weather gets cold.

Monkey also returned to the Dawu tribe, and he reported the news of the black bear being shot to death to Da Ma.
After hearing this, Da Ma felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Wu and said, "Yao Hu was so ruthless that he sent people to kill the black bear. It seems that the forty warriors of the black bear team have been killed by the Yaoshan tribe.
.”
Wu looked at him and said, "It should be like this. I didn't expect that the Yaoshan tribe had such strength. What kind of weapons did they use to kill so many warriors?"
"Yan Yu said that the trap they dug was very powerful, and they might have fallen into it." Da Ma touched his chin, "Black Bear's son was still a little kid. The giant bear originally had seventy or eighty teams of warriors. Before they died,
So many tribes have been plundered. The giant bear tribe stores much more food and fur than we do."
Wu immediately understood what he meant, "Yes! Winter is coming. This autumn, the food we have stored is less than half of the last autumn. If we grab that food, our people will not starve to death if the winter lasts longer.
.”
Da Ma shook his head, "Not only will we rob food, but we will also rob their territory. Once the black bear dies, only Wu Xian will be left in this area to compete with us."
"Wuxian controls Xianyan. If the giant bears are taken over by them, we will be in trouble. Let Yan Yu and Chong lead people to go to the giant bears and seize their territory and food. We will be the largest tribe in this area."
After hearing this, Wu nodded repeatedly, "The leader is still thoughtful. I'll call Yan Yu and Chong."
Monkey has told Yan Yu and Chong the news of the black bear's death. The two heard Da Ma calling them and went to Da Ma's cave together.
Da Ma told Yan Yu his plan and ordered: "You and Chong immediately lead fifty teams of warriors to Si Mountain and occupy it."
After hearing this, Yan Yu bowed his head and said, "Yes, leader."
Da Ma nodded happily, led a few people out of the cave, gathered the warriors, and set off in a mighty manner.
At the same time, the Wuxian tribe in Shishan was doing the same thing. Youlu led dozens of teams of warriors towards Sishan, and a battle to snatch and divide the giant bears was about to begin.

When Yao Xiaoqing came back from practicing Qigong, he gave the wheat seeds to Shan Amu and asked her to sow them according to the sowing method last year.
She went to the refining room, put the limestone piled in the corner into a backpack, and carried it to the kiln in the hay shed outside.
Fill the kiln with half a kiln of firewood, put the limestone on top, and spread a layer of firewood on top of the limestone.
He said to Ahebo who was making charcoal: "Hebo, you can build a pond as big and as deep as a mountain pond under the pond later. I can use it."
Ah He nodded, "Okay, wait until I pick out the charcoal and load it with firewood."
"Yeah! The kiln is also burning. I can use the stones burned in it."
Ah He smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
Yao Xiaoqing went back and took the ox, and walked towards the mine with a dozen old men, taro and beans.
She sat on the back of the cow and swayed forward.
As we approached the mine, the sun hid behind the clouds and the sky became overcast.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and my exposed arms felt a slight chill.
She watched the wind blowing the fallen leaves all over the ground, swirling and dancing, and the air was filled with the rotten smell of dead branches and leaves.
Taro Zi looked back at her, "Xiao Qing, it's cloudy now, so the radish seedlings won't be burned to death."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the accumulated clouds and felt a little worried, "Don't get too happy too early. If the weather suddenly changes, all the radish seedlings that were just planted will freeze to death." She was also worried that the temperature would drop suddenly, and she would not be able to get over it.
The wind outside makes me catch a cold and make me sick.
After hearing this, Taro Zi hurriedly prayed, "God bless you, please don't let it snow, otherwise our radishes will freeze to death. It would be a pity to have so many radishes die."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at her rubbing her hands together with a pious look and said with a smile: "How can the gods care about your carrots? They care about matters of life and death."
"Alas!" Yuzi sighed and looked at her in frustration, "Qingsha said that the gods won't care, so they definitely won't care."
Douzi looked at her and laughed, "Taozi, gods like you don't care about our radishes anymore."
Yuzi picked up a river branch and threw it on her, "Bad guy, you don't pray with me and you laugh at me. I'll ignore you from now on!"
Douzi smiled and pulled her, "Please pay attention to me!"
Ah Chong, who was holding the cow rope, looked at the two of them and laughed, "Xiao Qing, Gou Shulin has arrived."
"good!"
Yao Xiaoqing jumped off the cow's back and saw that the leaves of the paper tree had fallen off, leaving the bare trunk.
Ah Chong and Chun tied the cow to the tree, picked up the machete and began to chop down the tree.
Yao Xiaoqing used a bamboo knife to peel off the bark of the tree and tear off the outer layer of old skin, leaving only the thin, bluish-white bast fiber inside.
She turned back to the taros and said: "Taro, you guys, tear off the bark, remove the outer layer of green bark, and only need the inner layer."
"I know." Everyone got busy.
Ah Chong looked at those small trees and asked distressedly: "Xiao Qing, should these small trees be cut down? Will they still grow back if they are cut down?"
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "As long as the paper mulberry tree is not dug out along the river, more trunks will be separated after cutting it down." She remembered that traditional Chinese medicine calls the paper mulberry tree fruit Pu Shizi, and paper mulberry fruit is used in medicine together with the river.
It has the functions of nourishing the kidneys, diuresis, and strengthening muscles and bones.
After Ah Chong and others heard this, they cut down all the paper mulberry trees, big and small, and piled them together.
More than a dozen people worked until the sun went down and tore off eight or nine frames of bark. Ah Chong and the others tied the thick trunks with straw ropes, put them on the backs of cattle, and dragged them back to the tribe.
Ah He saw Yao Xiaoqing and Ah Chong coming in through the back door. He smiled and stepped forward to help take down the bamboo basket.
"Xiao Qing, I've already built the pond. It's almost dry after a day of drying."
"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing handed the cow rope to Ah Chongbo.
