Jiang Li looked at her with a smile, "There are not many ordinary people like you."
Jiang Li's eyes made Yao Xiaoqing feel a little uncomfortable. She concealed herself and picked up the thousand-character article, put it into the small bamboo basket on the table, and said with a smile: "I want to go to the shooting range to see how they are practicing."
Jiang Li nodded, and the two of them walked out to the shooting range together.
When the two arrived at the shooting range, Jiang Li stopped, looked at Yao Xiaoqing and said sincerely: "I suggest you expand the shooting range behind the canteen, let the warriors receive formal training, and let them know
You can’t swarm your opponents when you go on the court... If you trust me, I’m willing to help you train them.”
Seeing his sincerity, Yao Xiaoqing smiled and saluted him: "Marching and fighting are your strengths. I will trouble you to train them from now on."
Jiang Li smiled and clasped his fists, "Qing Wu, you are too polite. Regardless of anything else, it is a rare miracle that we meet here. It is also a fate arranged by God. We should take care of each other."
Yao Xiaoqing thought about it and thought, "Okay, I am greedy for comfort. I like to live comfortably and eat delicious food. From now on, I will take care of your food and clothing, which is a reward for your hard work."
Jiang Li responded readily: "Okay!"

Chong led the people forward, and when they saw that they were almost at the Shenmu Mountain, they stopped and said to the two warriors behind him: "Ah Snake, Ah Diao, you two take the two of them back to the Yaoshan tribe and watch them quietly.
, be careful not to be discovered by them."
"Yes." They both agreed in unison and left with the others.
Chong watched the four people walking away, feeling that Yao Xiaoqing must not have expected that he would stop here and send people back. He looked proudly in the direction of the Yaoshan tribe and smiled, leading the people to continue walking forward, at the sacred tree.
I found a cave to stay near the mountain.
In the middle of the night, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, which had been gloomy for several days, and the ground was soon covered with a thin layer of snow.
Chong woke up early in the morning and walked to the entrance of the cave to see snow and cold wind blowing rain and snow flying all over the sky. There were icicles shining with silver hanging from the branches.
Chong looked back at the animal skins in his backpack, secretly glad that Yaohu didn't ask for the animal skins, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get out of the cave.
The group of people wrapped themselves in animal skins, chewed dried meat, and walked forward on soft, moist soil. When they stepped on it, they found a mud pit, leaving a string of clearly visible mud marks behind them.
After walking for a while, mud penetrated into the shoes along the thick seams of the animal skin shoes. Chong felt that his feet were so cold from the snow that it hurt like needles.
The sky was gray, and the sleet was falling harder and harder. The rain and snow dripped down the bare branches, and a few people continued to move forward in embarrassment.
Ah She and several others hid in a tree. They were woken up by the freezing rain and snow in the middle of the night. The four of them came down from the tree in a panic. The wood was soaked by the rain and snow, and they could not dig out the wood to make a fire to keep warm.
Several people were not familiar with this area. They looked at the darkness all around and couldn't even find a hiding place. They sneezed several times in succession and stood shivering under a big tree.

Yao Xiaoqing got out of the warm quilt, put on her clothes, pulled up her hair and went out. At a glance, she saw a few pots of chrysanthemums in full bloom, which were carried to the eaves of the corridor, with raindrops still hanging on the petals.
"Hehe! It's snowing!" Yao Xiaoqing thought of Chong and the others, and smiled happily, "You are not a good person, even God can't stand it!"
Yaohu came back from outside wearing a bamboo hat. Seeing her gloating about her misfortune, he smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, what happy thing happened to you?"
Yao Xiaoqing, "..., I feel happy just thinking about it."
Yao Hu laughed after hearing this. He usually looked like an adult, but now he was still a child.
"Xiao Qing, it's snowing. Don't go to the woods to practice. Just practice in the house."
"I know." Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Father, Jiang Li said he would teach you how to read tonight, so you have to study hard!"
"I know." Yao Hu glanced at his daughter, "Xiao Qing, Shan Amu asked you when you will start making spinning wheels?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the rain and snow falling more and more, and said with a smile: "The Great Witch Tribe will not be able to come these days, so let's make the spinning wheel first and spin the wool."
Yao Hu nodded, "Go ahead! Go to the cafeteria after practice."
"Yeah!" Yao Xiaoqing went upstairs to practice for more than an hour, and her talent became brighter. She went downstairs to the warehouse to grab a bowl of peas, took a shovel, and went to the greenhouse wearing a bamboo hat.
The greenhouse was already burning, and it was very warm inside. The rapeseed had sprouted two tender green sprouts, and the garlic sprouts had burst out of the garlic cloves. Cabbage and wild vegetables were also scattered on a few hillocks next to it.
She found a corner piece of land and used a shovel to pry small pits. She put two or three peas in each pit and covered them with a thin layer of soil. After a while, she would be able to eat the tender green pea tips.
A Lin walked to the door of the greenhouse carrying the pig food bucket. He saw Yao Xiaoqing squatting there and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, I just burned the greenhouse this morning. Is it warm inside?"
Yao Xiaoqing, "Nuan Nuan, Uncle Lin started feeding the pigs so early!"
A Lin nodded with a smile, "I cooked the qinggang fruit pulp, bean dregs and swill, then mixed them with ramie leaves and gooseberry leaves. The piglets probably ate them, one every day."
Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Okay, there are not many green stick fruits this year. If there is not enough, there are still a lot of taro sticks stored upstairs in the cafeteria. You can also boil the taro sticks after soaking them until they are soft and feed them to the pigs."
"No, I still have a lot of kudzu leaves." A Lin thought about it and said, "There is another sow in the pen that is pregnant with piglets. I am worried that these pigs will grow up. You will have a litter and I will have a litter.
What should I do if it’s not enough?”
Yao Xiaoqing looked at Alinbo who looked happy but also a little worried, "Don't worry, we will find a solution when the time comes!" She thought of the pigs and sheep in later generations, all of which were castrated after leaving the breeding pigs.
The pigs and sheep taste less fishy. When I was a kid, some people also castrated the roosters.
She still vaguely remembered that every time the castration came to the village, he would hold a bamboo bang in his hand and bang it loudly. Castration requires alcohol and iodine, but there is no other way at the moment.
"Well, I went to feed the pigs." Arin carried the pig food bucket to the stove and scooped out the pig food.
Yao Xiaoqing ordered some peas, carried the vegetable basket home and washed her hands, when she saw Mu Feng coming out of the house sleepily.
"Brother, sleep well now!"
Mufeng stretched and looked at her with a smile, "You've had enough sleep, what have you been doing?" He was busy building the wall after returning from hunting. He worked for several days to build the wall, but the great witch shrank.
No more scratching my neck.
Yao Xiaoqing took the leather and wiped his hands, "I ordered some peas. You go and wash them quickly. Let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast."
"Yeah!" Mu Feng walked to her side, "I heard Hei Ba say that Jiang Li can also write?"
"Yes, I will show it to you. You must learn from him carefully, as well as what he taught last night."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and went to the main room, took out the Thousand-Character Classic, "Look, this is what he wrote."
