"After death, he can enjoy offerings and sacrifices like a god, and he can protect his relatives in heaven."
Everyone murmured and discussed, "In the future, we can sacrifice to our mother like a sacrifice to the gods and beg her to protect us."
Everyone felt that begging relatives for protection was more useful than begging the gods, not to mention that the gods told Xiaoqing this.
Yao Hu figured out the meaning of his surname and felt that it was a good thing for people to have a surname. He thought about it and asked: "Xiao Qing, what does it mean to take a blood oath?"
Yao Xiaoqing thought of those scenes on TV of people taking blood oaths, and felt that the words of an ancient person when they took oaths were most suitable for people of this era.
"The gods say that the sworn one needs to kill the live prey, smear the blood of the prey on his mouth, and swear to the gods. If the sworn one violates the oath, the god will punish him, and his life will be the same as the sworn prey."
Yao Hu nodded and said, "Yes! If you break your oath after swearing an oath to the gods, you are violating the gods, and you should be punished."
"Xiaoqing, do you also need to swear an oath for your last name?" Mu Feng asked.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and smiled, "No, if someone asks you what your name is in the future, just tell them that your surname is Yao, your name is Mu Feng, and your full name is Yao Mu Feng."
Zhi pointed at himself and said, "My surname is Yao and my name is Zhi."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Yes! You will be called Yao She, Yaya will be called Yao Yaya, and Uncle Dashi will be called Yao Dashi..."
Everyone chanted their names after her. Yaohu stood up and looked at them and said: "Our Yaoshan tribe will be a tribe with surnames from now on. We must make more wooden spears, wooden arrows, flint arrowheads, and wooden spears. We also need to make more wooden spears, wooden arrows, flint arrowheads, and wooden spears."
Practice your archery skills more."
Everyone's faces had a look that they had never seen before, and they responded loudly: "Yes, leader."
Xiongniu returned to the old question, "Xiaoqing, what should we do if the Shenmu tribe finds us?"
The evil ones are afraid of the cruel ones, and the cruel ones are afraid of losing their lives. Now that we are in such a situation, it may not be that easy to kill her.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at everyone, "Let's make more weapons and come out. As long as they dare to come, we will fight with them. Let's go together, men, women, old and young. Kill one to protect our capital, kill two to earn one."
Everyone was so excited by her murderous look that they all stood up. Yao Hu said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qing is right, as long as they dare to come, we will fight them."
As long as you have no fear in your heart, you will not be easily defeated.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at them with satisfaction and said to Mu Feng: "Next, I want to see if the rocks you brought back are salty."
Yao Hu said to Mu Feng: "Mu Feng, go and show the stone you brought back to Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing, please continue."
"My father took two people to the river to fish and hunt teal and waterfowl. Every day, one person had to go to the cave and find a big tree to hide in. If anyone came, he would report to the people down the mountain."
"With such a long river bank, there must be a lot of food like kudzu, yam, and taro. You guys have to find these foods, and dig them home so you can either plant them or eat them."
Shan'am nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go look for him tomorrow."
Yao Xiaoqing continued: "Others moved stones back to build walls, and enclosed the cleared land, ditches and ponds just like outside."
Yao Hu and others looked at her in surprise, "Xiao Qing, the land below is so big, how can we surround it with stones?"
"I will find a way." Yao Xiaoqing looked at Yao Hu, "Father, use stones to build a wall as high as one person. The enemy can't burn it with fire. We have surrounded the ground and ditches, and there are
As long as we have food and water, we won’t be afraid even if the giant bear tribe comes!”
Yao Hu nodded and said, "Okay, we all listen to you."
After they finished speaking, Mu Feng placed the two rocks in front of Yao Xiaoqing, "Look, I think this one is salt. It's such a big piece that it has to be crushed before it can be eaten."
Yao Xiaoqing picked up the light yellow piece. The light yellow and transparent rock showed a sheen like glass.
She licked it and said, "Yes, this is salt, but there are too many impurities in it. Once I melt it out, it can be used. Father, we need to save more salt."
"Okay, before the Shenmu tribe finds us, we will go there again tomorrow and bring back more. Shan, Uncle Shui, you go pick up the prey, Pig, Mufeng, Xiongniu will practice archery, Dashi and I will make weapons.
.”
Everyone went to work separately. Yao Hu looked at Ah Chong, whose face was still a little pale, and said, "Uncle Chong, what's wrong with you?"
"I was bitten by a longworm. Fortunately, Xiaoqing gave me the magic medicine and it's healed. I'm going to peel it off too." Ah Chong said, stood up and walked out.
"Uncle Chong," Yaohu called him, "there are still many things to do. You have a good night's sleep and get up in the morning to go to the mountain to watch."
Yao Xiaoqing poured a bowl of herbs from the jar and said, "Uncle Chong, drink the medicine and go to sleep!"
"Hey!" Ah Chong wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, picked up the bowl and drank it in two gulps.
Shan'am and Yun'am went outside to have a barbecue, and YY sat in front of her, "Qinggu, where did the golden retriever go? Why doesn't it come back?"
Yao Xiaoqing thought to herself: You little heartless thing will never come back after eating the ham sausage.
"As soon as you wake up from sleep, it will come back."
YY nodded, "Oh! I fell asleep."
Yao Xiaoqing picked up a piece of rock salt, put it on the cutting board, smashed the rock salt with a pestle-shaped stone, put it into a large clay pot, boiled it over high heat, and then slowly simmered it over low heat.
It wasn't until he saw a large number of white crystals appearing in the pot that Yao Xiaoqing took it off the clay stove. After the pot cooled, he scraped the salt off the pot with a spoon and put it into another clean pot.
.
Looking at the impurities in the salt, Yao Xiaoqing thought: What should I do? Where can I find activated carbon here?
Activated carbon and charcoal should be the same thing. She patted her head, found two long branches, picked out some red-hot firewood sticks from the stove, put them into a jar, and closed the lid.
They went out and carried all the rock salt that Mu Feng and the others had brought back into the cave, and found two pieces of gypsum inside.
Yao Xiaoqing took the gypsum and put it away, thinking: gypsum is a good thing. When the beans are planted, they can be made into bean curds by chiseling them with a stone and grinding them.
I just don’t know how much effort it takes to carve out a stone mill?
After mashing all the rock salt, I found that most of the rock salt was mixed with a lot of black and gray dirt. Just like the salt that the tribe exchanged from the Wuxian tribe, it had many impurities.
Yao Xiaoqing guessed that the salt of the Wuxian tribe might be crushed rock salt.
Crush all the rock salt and put it into jars. There will be exactly two and a half jars of rock salt mixed with various impurities.
Yao Xiaoqing scooped a few bowls of water into the jar and started to boil the salt. She went to the bamboo shed and took out the bandages that had been washed and boiled last time. She cut them into pieces about one foot long with scissors, and cut them with needle and thread.
