Yao Xiaoqing went to the pharmacy to grab some herbs, put them into a medicine jar, put them on the clay stove and simmered slowly, called Aque to let her look at the medicine jar, and walked quickly to the canteen.
Dashi came towards me, "Xiaoqing, the leader hasn't gotten up yet?"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "My father is sick."
Dashi looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "It's nothing serious! I caught a cold and felt a little feverish."
"That's good." Dashi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the gray sky, and frowned, "The sun came out yesterday, and everyone thought it was going to get warmer, but who knew, alas!"
Dashi sighed repeatedly.
Yao Xiaoqing was also disappointed and had to comfort him, "It will get warmer."
Thinking of the wild boar meat from the night before, Dashi looked at her with a smile on his face, "Xiaoqing is still awesome. He made a cover for walking in the snow. Even if the winter lasts longer, we are not afraid of running out of food."
"Uncle Dashi, food will not grow without sunlight, and wild animals will die without food, or migrate to warmer places. Then we will still have no food to eat." Yao Xiaoqing poured a basin of cold water down.
After hearing this, Dashi thought about it and said, "Uncle Dashi has grown up in vain and doesn't even understand this."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and did not answer. They went to the cafeteria together. Breakfast in the cafeteria was already prepared, including corn and bean porridge and bean dregs cake. She was worried that Yaohu had a cold and a weak stomach, so she picked up some cabbage and cooked the corn dish again.
Porridge, and some sour bamboo shoots and took it home.
When he opened the door to the room, he saw that Yao Hu was still sleeping. He woke him up and drank a can of vegetable porridge with pickled bamboo shoots.
Yao Hu drank the hot vegetable porridge and felt a little better. He looked at her and smiled and said, "Hey! I feel much better."
"If you catch a cold, drink some light vegetable porridge to make your stomach feel better." Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile, "Why don't you get up and sleep for a while?"
Yao Hu smiled and said, "Get up! It won't feel good after sleeping for a long time."
Yao Xiaoqing handed him his sweater and animal skin jacket, "I'm going to see if Ah Que has finished boiling the herbs? You can get up and drink a bowl of herbs. It will be done faster."
"Go!" Yao Hu got up with a smile.
Yao Xiaoqing went to the kitchen and saw that Ah Que had poured out the herbs and put them into the warm nest. He poured out the medicine for Yao Hu to drink.
"Father, the refining room consumes too much energy. You, Uncle Dashi, and Uncle Shan are injured. Don't think about doing everything yourself. Pick a few people to come out and help you!"
Seeing his daughter's worried look, Yao Hu felt warm in his heart and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I will choose a few people to work with them for a while. Your brother and the others should be back in a few days!"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "If there are many wild animals, they should come back in three or four days. If there are not many prey, it may take a few more days."
"Well! With this food, everyone's life will be easier," Yao Hu said.
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "You can have a good rest today. I'll go find the wolf and ask how the tribes who defected to us are doing."
Yao Hu smiled and said: "Go!"
Yao Xiaoqing went outside the tribe and saw the wolf whittling arrow shafts, "Why are you alone? Uncle Zhong and the others went to the river to fish again?"
The wolf stood up with a smile, "Yeah! A few people went after breakfast and said they were going to net some shrimps and come back."
Yao Xiaoqing went in and sat down, "Based on your observations these days, are the tribes still in harmony these days?"
Wolf said: "The people of several tribes are quite harmonious, and they can complete the work they are asked to do every day. The leaders of several tribes seem to be peaceful."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him, "In the next days, you and Uncle Chong, please pay close attention to the few leaders who have defected. When the weather gets warmer, I will disperse them all and reorganize them."
The wolf thought about the information collected these days, "We found that these leaders are respected by the tribesmen. Lu and Rong are more impatient, while Huo and Amon are more careful.
Lu has an impatient temper and seldom speaks military words, but he is very strong. I heard that he was elected as the leader by her tribe."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said: "People who can give up their position as leaders to find a way out for their clansmen should be of good character. Among people like Ah Hei and Ah Ni, have you found any suitable candidates for the team?"
Wolf said: "I paid attention to them when they followed me to dig ditches. I found Ah Hei, Ah Ni, Ji... these dozen or so are all good, and they are practical and steady in their work. Adab also thinks these people are good."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, you guys will keep an eye on them for a while, and after they thaw, let a few old men lead them for a while, and then select ten people from them to be their team."
"For the small teams of tribal warriors who defected in, we selected some people from our tribe to lead them, plus the original leaders, to form seven teams."
"Women and old uncle, I plan to let Hua, Dongxue, Ah Su, and Xiang be their team. Old uncle will be led by A Chongbo and the others."
After hearing this, the wolf nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
After Yao Xiaoqing finished speaking, she looked at him with a smile, "I heard that your wife is pregnant with a child."
During the last mating ceremony in the tribe, the wolf matched up with Xia from the Qingshan tribe and got married.
The wolf laughed happily, "It's been two months, does the Qingsha know about it?"
Seeing his happy look, Yao Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Well! The tribe is getting better and better, and I'm very happy that it's getting more and more prosperous."
The wolf looked at her and said respectfully: "Thank you Qingsha, they are all starving. After being cold for so long, our life is not much different from before."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "We are what we are today because of our concerted efforts. No one can do it without us."
The wolf shook his head, "Qing Wu, I only know that without you there would be no such person as the wolf in this world."
Seeing the wolf's grateful look, Yao Xiaoqing felt uncomfortable and waved his hand: "You go ahead and get busy! I'll go to the medical room and have a look."
The wolf watched Yao Xiaoqing running away quickly, smiled and shook his head, "Qing Wu is still a child!"
****
Lu, Huo, Amon and Rong, several former tribal leaders, were sitting in front of the Kang bed in the reception room, holding bamboo strips in their hands and weaving bamboo baskets awkwardly.
They looked a lot cleaner and tidier. Their hair, which used to be messy and greasy, was now tied up with the cowhide bands provided by the Yaoshan tribe, and they were wearing neat clothes.
The deer glanced at a few people and said, "Huo, I heard from Shan Yang that they are going to go into the mountains to hunt."
He sighed without raising his head, "There is no food to eat! Who would want to go hunting in the mountains on this day if there is food to eat?"
Amon looked at the three of them and said, "The Yaoshan tribe goes into the mountains on days like this. I heard from people in the tribe that they went to the mountain opposite."
The deer whispered: "It would be great if we could also go to the mountain opposite with them."
Huo glanced at him and said, "They may not have much food. Two days ago, two more tribes came to the Yaohu leader and wanted to join the tribe, but the Yaohu leader didn't even see them."
