Hei Niu looked at the horns and asked, "Have they discovered you?"
Looking at Hei Niu's suspicious eyes, Yang Jiao's face turned a little blue, "I was going up the mountain to cut wood, and I made an excuse to sneak out. They must have discovered me."
After hearing this, Hei Niu thought about it. If he had betrayed the tribe, he would not have kept silent when he saw Yan Yu just now.
Cuiyu nodded, "That means they discovered it. When my father was here, he often said that Da Yun and his son were a pair of cunning jackals."
Hei Niu frowned and looked at Cui Yu, "What should we do now? Winter is coming."
In order to avenge the leader, they have been hiding in the pine forest for some days. If they don't go back to prepare food and animal skins, how will they survive the long winter.
Cuiyu looked at Hei Niu and said, "Let's go back to Sishan first. Maoshu is still in the witch hunt. There will always be a way to catch him."
Several other people also agreed: "Yes, let's go back to the tribe first and come back when we have a chance."
A group of people strode towards Si Mountain.
Yan Yu and Chong met at the foot of the mountain. They looked at each other and knew that their work was in vain.
"Chong, you take this person back, I'll go out for a while."
Chong walked up to him and whispered: "Do you want to see the Green Witch or check out the weapons they use?"
Yan Yu lowered his eyes and said, "How can I still have the nerve to see her? I want to check the weapons."
Chong looked at him, "If you find out that they really have powerful weapons, what will you do?"
"I will ask my father to exchange food for weapons with them."
"Do you think the leader will be willing? Even if the Green Witch is willing to exchange the weapons for us, the leader will not agree. The method of making powerful weapons must be in your own hands."
Yan Yu was silent for a moment and then said: "As long as my father agrees not to harm Qing Wu, I have no control over other people and I don't want to care about them."
Chong looked at him, "If Qing Wu can make powerful weapons, the leader will not hurt her."
"I will always be good to her!" Yan Yu led Qing Huo and walked a few steps before turning back and telling Chong, "Don't tell my father when you go back."
Chong smiled and nodded, "I understand, just go ahead and go!"

Yao Xiaoqing stored the soil melons in the warehouse and went out to Shan Amu's yard.
I saw a group of women sitting around in the yard, each holding a bamboo knife in their hands, peeling kudzu neatly.
"You are all here!" she said with a smile.
"They're all here!" Shan'am smiled and nodded, "Have you dug up all the melons?"
"Well! They are all piled up in the warehouse, and a lot of seeds have been collected. We will be busy next year." Yao Xiaoqing picked up the kudzu hanging on the bamboo frame and found that the smoothness of kudzu was better than that of ramie.
.
Ayu said with a smile: "Qingwu, we are not afraid of being busy, but we are afraid of being hungry. The taste of drinking cold water is too uncomfortable when we get up in the middle of the night."
Shan'am smiled and nodded, "Ayu is right. I've also been through the days of being so hungry in the winter that I ate snow. One bite of it made my bones feel cold."
Yao Xiaoqing listened to them talking about the hard days in the past, "As long as everyone works together, I guarantee that everyone will not go hungry and live a good life."
Ayu responded: "Don't worry, Qingwu, we will do a good job."
The fish smiled and said: "Who doesn't know how to work? In the old tribe, children of several years old would help their mothers with work."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Peel the flax well, wait for the cloth to be woven, and then make close-fitting clothes for everyone."
She went home and went to the roof to check the medicinal materials collected yesterday.
After Yun Amu and Hua washed the golden retriever, forsythia, and platycodon, they hung them on the roof to dry.
She picked up a piece of golden retriever dog spine and saw that the fur on it had dried. She carried the dustpan downstairs and went to the main room.
Use scissors to cut off the layer of golden fur and put it into a small jar.
I took the roots to the kitchen, cut the clean roots into slices, steamed them in a steamer, poured them into a dustpan, and took them upstairs to spread them out to dry.
When I went downstairs, I saw Asen carrying a basket on his back and entering the yard. "Qinggu, the flowers I found on the mountain are so beautiful. Also, what do you think these black things are?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him with a smile, "When did you go up the mountain?"
Asen put down his backpack and said with a smile: "I didn't go up the mountain alone, I went with Dam."
As he spoke, he took out a few white and purple chrysanthemums that were blooming wildly from the basket on his back, "Qinggu, do you think they look good?"
Yao Xiaoqing touched the purple chrysanthemum with a smile, "It looks good! I'll go to the mountain to get some pottery pots to plant in the yard later."
Asen picked up more than a dozen pieces of dark brown stuff from the bamboo basket and said, "Look at these black lumps. They smell like fragrance, so I picked them up."
Yao Xiaoqing picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be truffles. He smiled and said, "This is called truffles. It's delicious even with stewed chicken and pork ribs."
Asen looked at her happily, "It's true! I've seen it several times, and I picked it up this time."
"It's okay, there are a lot of dried fungi in our warehouse! I'll pick them back up if I encounter them later."
"Yeah! I'll go up the mountain to get a pottery pot to plant chrysanthemums." After Asen said that, he turned around and ran towards the mountain.
Seeing him scurrying out like a rabbit, Yao Xiaoqing had no choice but to go back to the house and take out a hoe. He carried the bamboo basket and walked toward the foot of the mountain with the hoe.
When she reached the foot of the mountain, Asen came down carrying several pottery basins.
The two dug some soil at the foot of the mountain, put it in a bamboo basket and carried it back to the yard. They first filled a pottery pot with some mulch, then put the chrysanthemums with soil into the pot, filled it with soil and planted it.
After pouring water, he took it and placed it beside the courtyard dam.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at Ah Sen, who had grown a lot taller, and said, "A Sen, you are going to go hunting next year, right?"
Asen looked at her with bright eyes, "Yes! I have gone with my father a few times this year, and I will go there again next spring. Qinggu, I will also be the captain of the hunting team in the future."
Yao Xiaoqing patted his thin shoulder and said, "As long as you practice your hunting skills and practice diligently, you will definitely become the captain of the hunting team in the future."
Asen nodded heavily, "Yes!"
For dinner, everyone ate fried potato slices with oil residue. It tasted sweet and delicious.
After dinner, Yaohu went on patrol with his men.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Dashu Amu: "Amu, have the yarns been twisted?"
"I have twisted some and knitted the socks." Dashu Amu smiled and said, "The next twisted thread is used to knit the jacket and knee pads you mentioned. You have to teach us how to knit."
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment, "The remaining wool and rabbit hair don't need to be twisted for the time being. When I make the spinning wheel, the threads spun on the spinning wheel should be more even."
Dashu Amu responded: "Okay!"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at Shan Amu again, "Amu, can you finish peeling the kudzu tomorrow?"
Sam thought for a moment, "I can finish peeling it off tomorrow afternoon."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "The kudzu peeled out today should be dried tomorrow afternoon. Let's go to my yard tomorrow. Let's split the ramie silk first, and then we can spin the thread and weave the cloth after the spinning wheel is ready."
