For those old people who couldn't sit still, Dongxue fed them one by one.
After the old uncle drank the brown sugar water, he felt warm in his stomach and gained a little strength. He looked up at Yun Amu and said, "Old Amei, do you really want to give me food?"
Yun Amu smiled and said: "Yes! If I don't give you food, you will starve to death. Wouldn't it be better to let you die in your own tribe?"
The old uncle took a breath and looked at Yun Amu, not believing his ears, "The tribe has stopped giving us food. We are all useless people. What's the use of the Yaoshan tribe giving us food?"
"
Ada limped in carrying a wooden bucket, looked at him and said, "Why is it useless? Qing Wu said that we are all useful people just like the warriors, but each of us has a different division of labor.
The warriors hunt and protect the tribe, and we cultivate the fields, raise livestock, and help with other work that can be done."
Ah Chong put the barrel down and said, "Qing Wu said that as long as he is a person who has contributed to the tribe, even if he is old and can no longer work, someone will support him in his old age."
The old uncle looked at the two of them and his lips trembled slightly, "Are you telling the truth?" He looked at Ada and felt a glimmer of hope in his heart, because people with disabilities like Ada had long been eliminated in his tribe.
Kicked out.
The other people also raised their heads and looked at them hopefully.
Ada nodded, "Really, look at what we wear and what we eat are the same as the warriors of the tribe. When the farming is busy, the warriors will come back to help us work."
Yun Amu also nodded, "You see, the sugar water you drink is a very rare food. Qing Wu asked me to cook it for you to drink! What Qing Wu said is not wrong."
Yao Xiaoqing stood at the door and listened to what they said. She didn't expect Ada and the others to write down everything she said. She turned around and walked back, thinking that for their trust and the day when she was old, she could live a comfortable life.
, she also has to work harder.
As soon as I reached the second row of houses, I saw a woman from Shan'amu and Niu tribe walking over, "Xiaoqing, are you going back?"
Yushu and several women stepped forward and saluted, "Qingsha, thank you!"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at them and said in a low voice: "People have changed back, maybe your grandmother is no longer here."
Yushu's eyes were red, "Amu told us."
Yao Xiaoqing patted her shoulder, "Go! Go and have a look."
"yes!"
Shan's mother took them to the cafeteria, and sure enough, the mothers of these women were no longer there.

Yaohu didn't recover from the cold, so Yao Xiaoqing didn't allow him to go to the refining room and asked him to rest at home. He, Dashi, and Shan were also busy at home.
After the three people mixed the clay collected in the tribe with warm water, they made a stone slab and placed it in the main room of Yaohu's house, and began to make molds.
Yao Xiaoqing said that he would use iron farm tools for Ah Hei and others in the spring. There were more than 70 men, plus the women who had been replaced, but the sickles, hoes, machetes, shovels and other farm tools in the tribe were still far behind.
Dashi Xiangxiang said to Yao Hu: "Chief, when will Xiao Qing and Chief Jiang Li pair up?"
Speaking of Yao Xiaoqing and Jiang Li, Yao Hu felt happy in his heart. He looked at the two of them happily, "Xiao Qing said that she and Jiang Li are still young, and we will talk about it in three or four years."
Shan looked at him, "Xiao Qing is not young anymore, and Jiang Li and Mu Feng are about the same age!"
Yao Hu smiled and nodded, "It shouldn't be much different. Whatever Xiaoqing says, I will do it, and I will listen to her. I plan to pass the position of leader to Xiaoqing on the winter solstice this year."
Dashi nodded, "It's okay, your health is not as good as before, and the injuries on your body have become extremely uncomfortable."
Yao Hu said: "Yes! In the past two years, Xiaoqing has actually been making the decisions in the tribe, and I can't help her much! Let's help her manage the refining room well."
Yao Xiaoqing returned home and saw the three people coming back from the refining room with clay. He looked at them dumbfounded, "Uncle Dashi, Uncle Shan, my father has been cold for two days and he hasn't recovered yet. Why don't you just take a good rest for two days?"
?”
Yao Hu chuckled, "My father and Uncle Dashi are just making molds. The work is not tiring at all. Has the matter of the cattle tribe coming to borrow food been dealt with?"
Yao Xiaoqing told the three people about the exchange of women, old uncle, and old mother.
Dashi Heshan laughed, "That old guy Shanyang must be so angry that five women can get one belt."
Yao Hu said: "I used to think that it would be difficult for them if they were in trouble. I taught them how to make green bar fruit and make fish traps for fishing without asking for anything. I always wanted to take advantage. How could it be such a good thing!"
Dashi nodded, "Yes! It's not that cheap."
Yao Xiaoqing said to the three of them: "Father, Uncle Dashi, Uncle Shan, I plan to carry pigs and be the captain of a large team, bull, wolf, spear, poplar, fish, fire, Amen, deer and Rong."
Get up and be two, three, four...the squad leader of the Warriors.
Mufeng, Leopard, Dashu, Quan, and Muba are each in charge of two teams. The new old uncle will be managed and deployed by Achongbo and Agenbo...
Since the wolf's legs are inconvenient, let him manage Ah Hei and others in the tribe. Then select a few people from Ah Hei and others to be team leaders.
Women, let Hua, Dongxue, Xiang... take charge, and Shan Amu and Yun Amu... the five of them take charge. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"
After hearing this, Yao Hu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You can decide on matters in the tribe. The three of us will just take care of the weapons depot and the refining room."
Dashi and Shan nodded repeatedly, "The leader is right. Xiaoqing, we can still do the work, but you have to take care of the people."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at them disapprovingly, "You have suffered a lot of pain in the past, and your body cannot bear it after being in the refining room for a long time. It is best to choose a few satisfactory apprentices to replace you."
Yao Hu smiled and said: "Okay, we will choose the apprentice."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and said, "Select the person as soon as possible. I will make an announcement when brother and the others come back."
"Okay!" Yao Hu said.

Early the next morning, Ah Chong, who was fishing by the river, discovered that the Niu tribe and a dozen other tribes had gone hunting in the mountains opposite. A large group of skinny warriors risked their lives in order to survive.
It finally cleared up on the third day, and when the sky was filled with sunset, Jiang Li, Mu Feng and the others returned to the tribe, dragging rafts and rattan baskets filled with strips of meat, big bones, and various animal skins.
Everyone was busy grilling meat, marinating bacon, and filling sausages.
After a sumptuous dinner, Jiang Li found Yao Xiaoqing, and the two wandered around the tribe. Yao Xiaoqing told Jiang Li about her arrangements.
Jiang Li made some suggestions, and after Yao Xiaoqing took note of them, the two slowly walked upstairs to her house.
Jiang Li looked at her with a smile, "Xiao Qing, the sunset travels thousands of miles without leaving the morning glow. It seems that tomorrow will also be a sunny day."
"It's sunny now. Today is the last two days of spring." Yao Xiaoqing glanced at him and said, "You have been tired for a few days, so take a good rest."
