He suddenly stood up and took off the blindfold hanging on the wall, "It's a belt like this. The Yaoshan tribe wanted five of us women. This thing is used for walking in the snow."
Big Mao looked at it curiously for a while, then said to Meng, "At the big gathering, you said you came back and told me, what's the matter?"
He suddenly turned his head and said to the warrior: "Take your brothers to the river to fish."
"Yes!" The warrior left with the people from the big cat tribe.
Meng looked around carefully, then went back and said to the big cat: "Last autumn we exchanged salt from the Yaoshan tribe. Wu Xian has not come out to exchange salt since he moved to the Ning River."
"The last time I went hunting in the mountains, I met a man from a large Wu tribe. He told me that the salt in Wuxian is dug out of caves."
Big Mao excitedly grabbed Meng's shoulders after hearing this, "Dug it out of the cave? I once heard people say that the salt in Wuxian was given to them by the gods. If it was dug out in the cave, as long as we can find it, we can dig it up."
"
He nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's what I thought after the man told me."
Da Mao sat back and thought for a moment, "The people of the Dawu tribe know that salt is dug from caves, why don't they go dig it. I heard someone say at the gathering that the Dawu tribe has been destroyed. Where did you meet
People from the Great Witch Tribe?”
"I met them at Shenmu Mountain." Meng looked at the big cat, "Aren't you curious where the salt from the Yaoshan tribe comes from?"
The big cat nodded, "Why aren't you curious! We have salt, so we don't have to worry about spoiled food. Warriors who eat salt are stronger than those who don't. Meng, have you discovered Yao
Where did the salt from the mountain tribes come from?”
He sighed fiercely and said: "After returning from Shenmu Mountain, I suspected that the salt of the Yaoshan tribe was also dug out of the cave. Otherwise, why would Shishan remain silent?"
"Why don't you quietly go with the Yaoshan tribe people to see where they dug it?"
"I also want to follow them quietly to have a look. The people of the Yaoshan tribe are very powerful, and they know me. I have never dared to go."
Meng looked at the big cat with bright eyes, "It's better if you come. Their people don't know you. You follow them quietly and find the cave where salt is dug. We will dig there quietly too."
After hearing this, the big cat nodded without hesitation, "Okay, I'll go. Do you know when they will go up the mountain?"
He nodded fiercely, "They go up the mountain early every morning. I will take you to the place where they go up the mountain. You hide in the forest and follow them quietly. You will definitely find the cave where salt is dug."
The big cat stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look now."
He nodded excitedly. The two of them went out and walked toward the pine forest.
Yaohu walked around the market and went to the salt stall. Chun Amu saw him coming and welcomed him in with a smile.
"Chief, I changed a lot of dried meat and animal skins today."
Yao Hu went in to take a look and saw that several bamboo baskets were full. He smiled and nodded, "Fill some for those who come to exchange for salt."
Chun Amu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will fill them up every time."
Yao Hu nodded reassuringly, "Okay, you guys take your time, I'm going back to the tribe."
He returned to the tribe and happily said to Dashi: "More and more tribes are coming to exchange for salt, and there are also tribes coming out of the mountains to exchange for hemostatic medicine and salt."
"It's been more than a year since the earthquake, and the tribes in the mountains should be getting better. Mufeng said there is still a lot of salt in the cave, no matter how long you dig," Dashi said with a smile.
"I'm not worried about Xianyan." Yao Hu frowned, "I'm just worried about why Xiaoqing and Jiang Li haven't come back yet?"
Dashi comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, leader, Xiaoqing and the others should be back before the autumn harvest!"
Yao Hu sighed, "The child has been gone for so long, and Mu Feng's baby was born, and she didn't even know."
"Don't worry, let's go to the fields and look at millet and pumpkins." Dashi picked up Yaohu and walked out.
When the two of them arrived at the edge of the field, they saw that the ears of millet in the field were heavy and golden everywhere.
Yaohu felt that the millet and pumpkins harvested this year were enough to feed the people of the tribe for two years.
The two arrived at the pumpkin patch and saw Ada leading a group of old men busy in the pumpkin patch. "Ada, it's too hot. Let's take a break and then work again."
"Chief, Ayun sent herbal tea, and it doesn't feel hot at all with the hat on." Ada happily pointed to the pumpkins in the field, "This year's pumpkins are big and plentiful, and there are also winter melons that are as long as a bucket."
"Let me take a look." Yaohu went to the field and peeled off the winter melon leaves and saw a long winter melon hidden under the vines. "Not bad, let Ayun make winter melon soup tonight."
Ada smiled and said: "Ayun picked a few and went to the canteen. She was still talking about when Xiaoqing would come back. She said that if she didn't come back, she would almost finish the soy sauce."
After hearing this, Yao Hu became worried again, "Yes! It's time to come back!"
When Ada mentioned it, he began to worry again, regretting that he should not have agreed to Yao Xiaoqing's search for seeds. There was so much food in the tribe, what if something went wrong when he went out?
Yaohu couldn't be happy when he saw the big winter melon.

By now Yao Xiaoqing and Jiang Li had arrived at the market entrance.
Hei Ba and Daliang followed the two of them feebly, "Chief, you and Qing Wu go back first. I want to find a stall to lie down and sleep before going back."
Da Liang nodded repeatedly, "I'll find a place to sleep too." Yao Xiaoqing chased him back all the way. The two of them were tired and hot, and now they felt like they couldn't even open their eyes.
Jiang Li glanced at the two people walking with squinted eyes and pointed to a wooden shed, "Go! There is an empty stall there."
The two happily rushed into the wooden shed, fell on the wooden bed and fell asleep.
Looking at the two people who fell asleep instantly, Yao Xiaoqing was dumbfounded, "It's all my fault, I chased them too closely."
"It's okay!" Jiang Li smiled and pulled her hand, "Let them sleep here, let's go back first."
"We're finally here." Yao Xiaoqing turned to look at Jiang Li, who had become a bearded man again, with a tired face, "I just want to go back and take a good shower now, and then sleep comfortably."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "Yeah! No one will recognize you when you go back. You look like a stray kitten now."
Yao Xiaoqing glared at him angrily, "Jiang Bearded, how dare you call me a stray kitten!"
Jiang Li cupped his hands and smiled in apology, "Don't you dare, please ask Qingsha to spare the little one."
Yao Xiaoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll spare you for now!"
The warriors on guard on the mountain saw the two men and greeted them happily, "Xiaoqing, leader Jiang Li, you are back!"
"Back!" Yao Xiaoqing and Jiang Li said in unison.
"I'll go back and report to the leader." The warrior said and turned around and ran away.
The wolf also ran over and looked at the two of them happily, "The leader comes to Daji every day. He has been looking forward to your return." He looked behind the two of them and said, "Where are Heiba and Daliang?"
Jiang Li pointed to the wooden shed behind him, "The two of them are sleeping there."
