Yao Xiaoqing walked to the door and saw that the drizzle was like silk, light and thin, intertwined and sprinkled on the earth, moisturizing the dry earth and bringing a chill.
She looked at the gloomy sky, feeling a little worried, "It stands to reason that it's time to come back!"
Shan'am also said worriedly: "Yes! It's been more than ten days in a flash! Don't worry, they are bringing animal skins with them!"
Yao Xiaoqing thought about it, and suddenly remembered the woman who went to the mountain to peel tree bark, "Big Tree Mother and Leopard Mother are leading the collection team to peel mulberry tree bark in the mine! I will send them bamboo hats."
Before he finished speaking, he rushed into the rain and fog.
Hua smiled and said: "Xiaoqing runs as fast as the wind."
Shan'am smiled and nodded, "She goes to the woods to practice Qigong every day!"
＊＊＊＊＊＊
Mufeng and his party have already reached the big tree Amu, where a group of people collect paper bark from the mine.
The leopard and the big tree saw Grandma who was busy putting bark into the bamboo basket, and rushed over with the prey on her shoulders, "Grandma, we are back!"
When the two mothers heard their sons' calls, they turned around excitedly, threw down the tree bark and ran over. They looked at their sons with tears in their eyes, "Big tree, (leopard), you are back! Are you injured?"
The two shook their heads happily, "Mom, I'm fine! Why are you peeling off those tree barks?"
Dashu Amu smiled and said: "Xiaoqing..."
At this time, Mu Feng and the others also left, "Amu, how are you in the tribe? How are my father and little sister?"
"Okay, okay, okay, Xiaoqing has made something good. You will definitely like it when you see it when you go back." Bao Amu looked at them with a smile and said repeatedly.
Seeing that they were bent over by the bamboo baskets, Dashu's mother said, "Quickly, put the heavy food in the bamboo baskets and let the oxen take them back."
"Okay!" Muba and Lang put the animal skins in their backpacks into the bamboo basket.
The woman had already installed the paper bark, and everyone was talking and laughing, leading the cow back.
When they were approaching the tribe, Muba pointed at a person walking hurriedly across from him, "Look, Xiaoqing and Shan Amu have brought us bamboo hats."
Mufeng shouted excitedly: "Xiaoqing, brother is back!" He quickened his pace and walked towards Yao Xiaoqing.
Yao Xiaoqing looked up and saw Mu Feng striding towards him, and happily greeted him, "Brother, you are back!"
Mufeng looked at her with a smile, "Yeah! I'm back."
Yao Xiaoqing also had a smile on his face and hurriedly put the bamboo hat on his head, "You must be tired! You look dark and thin."
Muba smiled and stepped forward, "Xiaoqing, you can't be partial, there are still twenty or thirty brothers here!"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "We are here to pick up Dashu Amu, we didn't prepare anything for you!"
"Alas" Leopard sighed, "We also prepared a gift for you, but we won't give it to you when we get back."
Leopard Amu feigned anger, "How dare you, I won't hit you!"
Leopard pretended to be scared, "Mom, I'll just coax Xiaoqing, how dare you not give it to her!"
Everyone burst out laughing, their cheerful laughter frightening several birds that were roosting in the forest.
Back at the tribe, Mufeng put down the stag he was carrying and the dried meat in his backpack.
In the basket on the pig's back, there were actually two goat cubs with long black hair.
Yun Amu looked at her son happily, her anxious heart finally relieved.
The leopards and the others carried prey, dried meat and animal skins on their backs. Although the hunting time was longer this time, the harvest was the same as last year.
Ah Zhongbo and the others also came back, and everyone happily surrounded the hunting team.
Shan Amu looked at Mu Feng with a smile, "Fortunately, I'm back today. It's raining and it's cold in the mountains."
Mufeng smiled and said: "Yes! There are not many prey in the mountains, so we have gone a little further."
A Gen hugged two lambs and asked, "Why are the wool of these two lambs black?"
Muba shook his head, "Who knows! We met a few jackals in the forest, surrounding a black goat and two lambs. We killed the jackals and saved the two lambs, and the black goat carried them back.
"
A Gen smiled and said: "I will take it to A Chun and raise it. I will skin the goat and stew it to eat."
Yun Amu nodded and said with a smile: "Ah Chong, take this goat out and let's stew the mutton."
"Okay," Ah Chong smiled and took the fat black goat, "A Yun, remember to put more radish, the radish in the mutton soup is the most delicious."
Yun Amu smiled and nodded, "Okay, there are plenty of radishes!"
"Alas!" the bull sighed happily, "I feel comfortable when I come back. The life in the mountains is too difficult."
Leopard said: "The meat is dried every day, and my mouth is blistered."
Yao Xiaoqing, "It will be good if you eat more vegetable leaves when you come back."
"Yes!" The bull smiled and took out a handful of wolf teeth. "These wolf teeth are drilled with small holes to ward off evil spirits for the children in the tribe."
Shan took it and said, "I'll take it to the stone tool room and drill a hole."
Mu Feng looked around and didn't see Yao Hu or Yao Xiaoqing. "Uncle Shan, where did my father and Xiaoqing go?"
Shan smiled and said: "I went to the Qingshan tribe to install the door for Jiang Li and the others. Let's load the dried meat into the warehouse."
Zhi sniffed the smell on his body and said with a look of disgust, "Ouch! My whole body smells bad. I have to go back and take a shower."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and teased him, "Brother She, Douzi is making paper over there in the kiln, and she will be washed fragrantly, so you can go see her."
He blushed, scratched his head, and giggled.
Everyone carried the dried meat and animal skins and walked towards the warehouse.
Muba, "Has leader Jiang Li moved back with his tribe?"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "The gate over there was just installed and they moved it."
"oh!"
Everyone put the hides and dried meat into the warehouse respectively and went home to rest.
Mu Feng returned home with a piece of fire fox skin and handed it to Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, everyone rounded up this piece, and they said they would leave it for you to make a coat for you to wear. I remember that the Lingque tribe also gave a piece of fire fox skin as a gift.
Here you go, take it out later, I'll tan it, and let Eminem make a gown for you to wear."
Yao Xiaoqing happily took it and said, "Thank you, brother." She took the firefox skin and felt that such leather could only be used to make a coat. It was so luxurious!
After Mu Feng came out of the shower, he saw the calendar on the wall, and Yao Xiaoqing explained it proudly.
Yaohu came back and saw the hunting team coming back. He happily gathered together to eat the night meal. After listening to Mufeng and others talking about the situation in the mountains, they went home separately.
Yao Hu looked at the calendar in the main room, "Xiao Qing, Jiang Li brought one back and said you taught him to draw it. How can he make these things?"
Yao Xiaoqing had an idea, "He has a good brain. If I say it once, he will understand."
"Yes!" Mu Feng also said from the side, "Father, Jiang Li's brain is very good. No matter what it is, he will remember it as long as he has seen it and heard it. Just like last time, we gave him a pumpkin.
Xiaoqing taught him how to grow pumpkins, and he remembered it after telling him once."
Yao Hu listened to what Mu Feng said and shook his head with a smile, "Aren't you tired of remembering so many things? But this calendar is really good. There is no need to mention that day in the future. It has been a long time. We Xiaoqing are smart."
