After the wild leeks were replanted and selected twice, the remaining leek roots were thicker than before.
Several people picked a place where it grew densely, dug a basket, took it back and planted it in the greenhouse.
Yao Xiaoqing thought about it and went back to take out the rapeseeds that had been selected and scattered them in the vegetable garden.
She doesn't ask it to bloom and bear fruit, as long as it sprouts and grows small rapeseed.
The leeks were planted and the rapeseeds were sown. Bao Amu went to pick up two buckets of water and watered them, waiting for the rapeseeds to germinate and the leeks to sprout new leaves.
Two days later, people from the Wuxian tribe arrived at the Yaoshan tribe with food, animal skins, and salt.
The leading warrior saluted Yao Xiaoqing respectfully, "Qingsha, the leader asked me to send ten long-haired goat skins, five deer skins, five baskets of millet, five baskets of beans, and one basket of salt. The leader said,
The skins are exchanged for clothes and the food is exchanged for pumpkins.”
Yao Xiaoqing smiled politely and said: "I understand. You sit down for a while and drink some hot water. I will have someone prepare food for you."
"Yes, Qingwu." More than a dozen people responded in unison.
Yao Xiaoqing took them into the tribe and arranged to sit down in the medical room.
She took the people back to the canteen with the hides and food, and asked Yun Amu to prepare food for them.
Only then did I see that among the beans sent by the Wuxian tribe, there was also a basket of red beans.
Yun Amu grabbed a handful of red beans and said, "Xiaoqing, what kind of beans are these?"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "This is called red bean. You can stew it in soup or boil it and eat it!"
"Next spring, we will have another kind of food."
"Yes, there will be more food in the future."
Yao Xiaoqing had people go to the mountain to load two baskets of pumpkins, and then took the baskets with them to the medical room.
I told them the method of growing pumpkins carefully until they remembered it.
Yun Amu fried pancakes and boiled broth for the people of the Wuxian tribe and sent them over.
After a dozen or so people devoured it, they bowed gratefully and left carrying the pumpkin on their backs.
******
Mu Feng and Jiang Li led the people up the mountain, and a group of forty or fifty people walked upstream along the river. Along the way, they captured many wild ducks, pheasants, turtle doves, golden pheasants, and rabbits.
A few days later, they saw more than a dozen bamboo shoot-like hills covered with tall trees.
Shan led everyone towards the mountain forest and said to a few people walking beside him: "The leader and I went hunting inside, and it was Mao who brought us here. At that time, there were more than a hundred warriors in the Yaoshan tribe.
.”
"Mao selects dozens of the strongest warriors to come here every time. Every time he comes here to hunt, the harvest is the best. He also encounters black bears and wild beasts several times, and a dozen warriors are killed and injured by wild beasts."
"The leader feels that our weapons now are much better than those back then. In addition, the Qingshan tribe also has more than fifty strong warriors, so he dares to let us come here to take a look."
Only then did everyone understand why Yaohu had never brought them here to hunt before.
In late autumn, the mountain forests are full of dead branches and fallen leaves. A group of people step on the thick fallen leaves, use machetes to push aside the shrubs and vines, and walk toward the mountains and forests.
Everyone followed the mountain and walked inside. The mountain forest became more and more secluded. Walking in the dense forest, it was broad daylight and it seemed like it was getting dark.
A group of people walked through one mountain top after another before heading down the mountain. Not long after walking, a vision suddenly opened up: the dense mountain forest suddenly stopped, and a flat valley appeared in front of them.
At the bottom of the valley, groups of wild boars, cattle, sheep, and musk deer are playing happily.
Jiang Li secretly marveled: Who knew that there was such a peach orchard hidden in this deep mountain and old forest?
"Haha!" Mu Feng looked at the valley bottom and laughed, "This is the hunting ground."
Leopard waved his hands excitedly, "Let's go, rush down, and kill them all!"
"Charge~" A group of people rushed.
"Everyone, wait a minute." Jiang Li took a few quick steps and jumped in front to stop everyone, "The sky has darkened. We are exhausted after traveling for several days. It would be bad if there is a beast lurking at the bottom of the valley. Let's look for it first.
Here, let’s have a good night’s rest and go hunting again tomorrow morning, what do you think?”
Everyone stopped and looked up at the sky, only to realize that it had darkened.
Mu Feng said: "Jiang Li is right, let's rest for one night and go down the mountain to kill enough tomorrow!"
Shan nodded and said: "Fortunately, Jiang Li stopped everyone. When I was happy, I forgot what the leader told me. Everyone must be careful. Also, if you encounter a black bear, don't forget to hit its nose."
Heiba asked in confusion: "Uncle Shan, why did you hit it on the nose?"
"..." Shan told the warriors of the Qingshan tribe what Yao Xiaoqing said.
Heiba, "It turns out there is a saying that if we encounter a black bear in the future, just point at its nose and hit it."
Shan led everyone down, "There is a huge rock on the cliff, and there is a small cave behind the rock. We used to live there."
"Uncle Shan, lead the way," Muba pointed to a dead tree, "Hey, cut off the dead tree in front and drag it down for fire."
Suddenly, Jiang Li heard a faint whistling sound in his ears. He turned around and saw a group of black things rushing out of the forest next to him.
"Everyone, be careful, the wild boar is rushing down." Jiang Li warned loudly, took off the bow and arrow in his hand, and shot at the eye of the leading wild boar. With a "pop" sound, the arrow sank into the wild boar's eye socket.
Jiang Li jumped up and slashed the wild boar on the head and neck. "Ouch~" the wild boar let out a shrill scream, rushed forward two steps, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Mufeng, Shan and Muba also shot their arrows together, and other people also took off their bows and arrows and shot at the wild boars.
The wild boar that was shot by the arrow let out a shrill howl.
The wild boars nearby were frightened and fled in all directions. The injured wild boars were chased by Leopard and the others. Using machetes and spears, they captured four wild boars in an instant.
Jiang Li ran quickly in the forest, shooting out arrows in his hand. Heiba and Mufeng followed him with follow-up shots. The injured wild boar ran away with blood, and was knocked to the ground by the warriors who caught up.
An injured wild boar suddenly turned around angrily, glared at the two-legged monsters, and slammed into the bull and the others with its gleaming fangs.
Several people dodged to avoid it, raised their knives, and blood spurted out from the wild boar's head, neck and waist. The wild boar scraped the ground with its hooves a few times, grunted and gasped a few times, and then stopped making any sound.
The strong smell of blood spread in the forest.
The leopard shouted loudly: "Uncle Shan, take everyone to the cave quickly. The wild boar is running away for no reason. There may be a big beast."
"Okay, everyone, come with me." Shan responded loudly, leading a warrior to lift a wild boar and walk down the mountain quickly.
Mufeng and Heiba lifted up a wild boar and praised: "It's so fat!"
The male bull and Muba were carrying a fat wild boar and turned back panting, "Jiang Li and Daliang's one is fatter."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "The way you raised it is not bad either."
