Xiongniu looked at Yaohu with worry in his eyes, "Chief, we met people from the Shenmu tribe again when we came back. They..."
After hearing what he said, Yao Hu thought for a moment and said, "If foreigners appear near their territory, they will definitely come out to check. If they want to deal with us, we will have to fight them."
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, leader."
Dashi said to Yao Hu: "Chief, my injury has healed. I will go hunting with Xiong Niu and the others tomorrow."
Yao Hu nodded, "That's fine, before winter comes, we need to stock up on furs and food, and go to Qiu Mountain in autumn to exchange for some salt and women."
When Shan heard Yao Hu mention salt, he said worriedly: "Chief, we won't be able to eat the salt given to Xiao Qing by the gods for long. I think we will have to go to Qiushan to exchange for salt in summer."
Yao Hu shook his head and said: "Summer will come soon, and by then we won't be able to save much fur and food to go to Qiu Mountain to exchange for salt. After eating the salt, we will eat raw meat and blood."
Shan nodded and said: "This is the only way."
Mufeng squeezed next to Yaohu and said in a low voice: "Father, Xiaoqing told me to look for soil and rocks that have been licked by wild animals, saying that there may be salt in them."
Yao Hu looked shocked, stopped and looked around, then asked in a low voice: "Really? Xiao Qing really said that?"
When Shan saw Yaohu and the others stopped, he also went back to look at a few people.
Mu Feng looked at Yao Hu, "Yes, Xiao Qing told me this. When we hunted these two goats, we saw the sheep licking the rocks on the cliff. We didn't even have time to look at them.
It's raining."
Zhi nodded and said: "We are thinking of going there tomorrow and bringing back a few pieces to show to Xiao Qing." Xiong Niu also nodded.
Dashi waved his fist excitedly, "That's great. With salt and salt, Xiaoqing has the magic medicine, we just need to go and change women and come back."
Several people had surprised smiles on their faces, "Xiao Qing is a person protected by the gods. The gods must have told Xiao Qing."
Yao Hu's voice became louder and louder, "Yes! Let's go together tomorrow and memorize more to show to Xiao Qing."
Mu Feng said: "Father, when Xiaoqing finds Xianyan, we can also exchange Xianyan for women!"
After hearing this, Yao Hu looked at the excited people sternly and said seriously: "The fact that Xiaoqing found Xianyan must not be revealed. The Wuxian tribe and other tribes will never let us go if they know the news. When we get there,
We won’t be able to protect Xiaoqing at that time.”
Everyone understood as soon as they heard that they were the only warriors in the tribe now. If other tribes knew that Xiaoqing could find Xianyan, they would definitely take her away and kill everyone in the tribe.
The more Zhi and Mu Feng thought about it, the more frightened they became. Mu Feng looked at Yao Hu with shame, "Father, I almost killed my sister."
Yao Hu looked at Zhi and Mu Feng, "You are still young and have a lot to learn. We will teach you in the future. Let's go back quickly, Xiao Qing and the others are still waiting for us."
Everyone walked towards the place where they lived. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw the tribesmen standing at the door eagerly looking forward to it. Yao Xiaoqing finally felt relieved when he saw them appear.
He smiled and took Mu Feng's hand, looked at Pig and Xiong Niu and said with a smile: "You are finally back!"
Zhi looked at her and smiled and said: "Xiaoqing, you used to chase after Mu Feng, brother, brother, brother, but now you don't even call brother brother!"
Mufeng is more than ten years younger than her in her previous life. She really doesn't regard him as a brother in her heart, but treats him as a big boy.
Now that he was being criticized, Yao Xiaoqing felt that something was wrong with him. He blushed and said, "How can I not? I have someone called Brother!"
Mufeng looked at her aggrievedly and complained: "Xiaoqing, you haven't called me brother for a long time!"
"Hehe!" Yao Xiaoqing giggled twice and looked at Mu Feng, "Brother, brother, I will bark a few more times today to make up for it!"
Yao Hu patted Mu Feng dissatisfied and said, "Okay, Xiao Qing is still young, you are the elder brother, please give her some time."
That’s it,” Yun Amu also patted the pig, “Xiaoqing is still young, she is still our witch now, we must respect her.”
"I know, Grandma." Zhi supported Grandma Yun and walked inside.
Everyone entered the yard, closed the door and walked towards the cave. It had just rained, and there was mud everywhere in the yard. Yao Xiaoqing thought about going down the mountain early tomorrow morning to find some stone slabs to lay on the road.
After scooping out water for them to wash their hands, Shan Amu brought out duck egg and leek pancakes and mushroom soup.
Duck egg and leek pancakes served with fragrant mushroom soup. Everyone said it was delicious after eating it.
Mufeng pointed to the mushrooms in the bamboo bowl and said to Shan Amu: "Amu, why have you never eaten anything like this in the tribe before?"
Yaohu also looked at Shan'am and smiled and said, "The food you make is more delicious than the food made in the tribe."
Shan Amu smiled and shook his head, "We can't make such food. The ones in the jar are called mushrooms. Xiao Qing said they are edible, and Xiao Qing taught us how to make them."
Zhi drank the soup from the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, you need to find more delicious food and come back."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, you guys will hunt more prey and go home, and we will find more delicious food."
After everyone finished eating, Shan Amu took the dishes and chopsticks and went to clean them. The others went to the yard to collect the prey.
Yaohu called to Yao Xiaoqing who was walking out with the wooden basin, "Xiaoqing, come here."
Yao Xiaoqing put down the basin and looked at him, "Father, is something wrong?"
Yao Hu told her what Mu Feng had discovered, "My father, Mu Feng and the others will go up the mountain tomorrow to collect the salt stones you mentioned."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded happily, "Okay! With salt, the bones can be pickled and eaten slowly."
"Xiao Qing," Yao Hu looked at his daughter guiltily, "There are too few warriors in our tribe. You must remember that you cannot tell others what the gods teach you to know. My father cannot protect you."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at Yao Hu's guilty eyes and thought that the Wuxian tribe relied on salt to exchange women, meat and furs with other tribes, and even the powerful giant bear tribe had to trade with him obediently.
Once the news that she can make salt spreads to other tribes, it will be a disaster for both the tribe and her.
"Father, don't worry, as long as the people in the tribe don't reveal the information, I will never tell others what I know."
"Don't worry, people in the tribe won't do such things," Yao Hu patted her shoulder, "You go to bed, and I will make some more arrows."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and said, "Father, I will go with you tomorrow to see if those rocks are salty."
Yao Hu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you afraid of the beasts in the mountains?"
"Don't be afraid, I want to take a look."
"Okay, you can go with us tomorrow morning."
"Hey!" After Yao Xiaoqing agreed, he went outside with hot water and saw Shui Bo, Zhong Bo and Shan Amu collecting their prey.
Mu Feng and the others were practicing archery in the yard against a log hanging on the fence. If you look closely, the growth rings on the wood are somewhat similar to the shooting rings.
