Everyone put down their backpacks and rubbed their bruised shoulders.
Yao Hu said with a smile: "Let's listen to Xiao Qing and bring back more salt, so that we can move stones to build stone walls."
The golden retriever jumped into the yard and ran to sit on the fence. Yao Xiaoqing followed him in carrying the bamboo basket.
Seeing her sweating profusely, Mufeng frowned and said, "Xiaoqing, what did you and Hua carry? Why didn't you wait for me to come back and carry it back?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at him and laughed, "They are just shells. Looking at the full basket, they are not heavy at all."
Mu Feng looked at her puzzled, "If you move rocks to build a wall, why carry shells home? Can shells also build a wall?"
"Yes, shells can also build walls." Yao Xiaoqing saw Mu Feng's mouth wide open in surprise, and said with a smile, "Shells can really build walls, but they need to be processed. Go and eat the food quickly.
Help me build a shed to cover the place where daddy is pulled."
Mufeng stretched out his hand and rubbed her head gently, "Okay! Father said, let me listen to you, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Thank you brother, go get some food quickly."
Yao Xiaoqing stiffened for a moment and pushed him inside.
After entering the yard, she first looked at the trough and saw that the cement sand and gravel on it had hardened, so she knew that the experiment had been successful.
Pick up the two sandstone cubes placed in the corner and knock each one with a stone. There will be two crisp sounds in succession.
Yao Xiaoqing felt happy in her heart, "Ha~~, it's done. This has made progress for thousands of years. If the excavation teams of later generations excavate the stone house I built and the fired red bricks, those experts may
I have to scratch my bald head, hehe..."
The golden retriever heard the noise, jumped down from the fence, ran to her and looked curiously at Yao Xiaoqing, who was holding two small square bricks and giggling.
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and stroked the golden retriever's head, smoothing its hair. The golden retriever put his face in her hand and rubbed it.
Yao Hu looked at her smile and smiled happily, "Xiao Qing, let me see what you are holding and giggling at?"
Yao Xiaoqing handed the small square brick to Yao Hu like a treasure, "Father, look, this is what I plan to use to build the wall. With this thing, the wall will not collapse."
Yao Hu took the two small square bricks, but before he could figure out the meaning, Yao Xiaoqing pulled them to the toilet.
"Father, look at it, this is what I put on the toilet bowl. Do you think it is as hard as a stone?"
Yaohu squatted down, poked the gray stuff around the toilet bowl with his hand, and dug in with his fingernail, but it didn't move at all.
"Yeah! It's as hard as a stone." Yao Hu became more and more confused. How could such a thing build a wall?
Yao Xiaoqing picked up one of the ash balls piled there and handed it to Yao Hu, "Father, this is what I use..."
After her explanation, Yao Hu finally figured out what was going on. But in his heart, he couldn't understand why the ashes became like this after being burned once.
Yao Hu was too lazy to think anymore, "We will do whatever you say. Father will carry two logs up and build a shed for you."
"Hey! I'm going to cut the thatch." Yao Xiaoqing followed Yao Hu down the mountain with a stone knife, and Golden Retriever also followed.
After walking down the mountain, Yaohu helped cut a few bundles of thatch and carried them back to the yard. When they entered the yard, they saw Mufeng and Zhi had already built a latrine shed there.
Yao Xiaoqing walked over and said to the two of them: "Brother, the pillars inside are higher than outside so that the rainwater will flow out. Oh! We also need to build a shed on the pit outside and cover it with thatch, otherwise the next time
Every time it rains, the latrine is filled with rainwater."
Mu Feng nodded cheerfully, "Okay, you can just watch us from the side."
The three of them were busy there. Yao Xiaoqing thought that there was no toilet paper here. He saw the two bundles of bamboo strips with green bamboo strips peeled off in the corner. He opened them and chopped them into one meter long bundles with a stone ax and put them in the toilet.

Huoli and his men went out to search for several days, but could not find any trace of Yaohu and the others. Within two days, they heard that the Giant Bear Tribe had killed Yang of the Sishan Tribe and had occupied Sishan Mountain. Sishan Mountain
The small tribes in the area are worried that their tribe will be the next one to be overrun by the giant bear tribe.
The bear will not let go of the Yaoshan tribe and will come to occupy Yaoshan sooner or later. What should I do?
Ever since he learned the news that the Sishan tribe had been overrun by bears, this worry had been swirling in his mind. Huo Li was racked with brains, but couldn't find a way to do it. He took a hard bite of the venison and chewed it vigorously.
, that would be like having a grudge against venison.
The black badger glanced at him and said cautiously: "Chief, does the Giant Bear Tribe want to occupy the entire Si Mountain?"
Huo Li glanced at Black Badger and asked, "If you were a bear, and there were so many young and strong tribesmen in the tribe, wouldn't you want to make Si Mountain your territory?"
No matter how you think about it, you have to wait until the day he becomes the leader!
Black Badger suppressed his thoughts and smiled at Huoli, "Chief, what should we do? We are so close to Si Mountain, will the bear take advantage of our Yaoshan Mountain?"
Huoli's eyes darkened, thinking that he had been worried for several days, and Black Badger had just asked this question now. He replied angrily: "What do you think? If the giant bear comes to take over our tribe, do you think we should
What to do?”
The black badger stood up and said loudly: "Chief, I listen to you, and I will do whatever you say!"
"Get out! Get out!" Huo Li angrily drove him out. Watching the black badger escape from the cave, Huo Li collapsed on the ground in frustration.
Black Badger returned to his cave angrily, and Ye Zi said to him: "Black Badger, can you talk to the leader and give us some more food? Everyone says they are not full."
The black badger gave her a hidden piece of venison and said, "Just feed yourself."
Ye Zi took the venison and took a bite, frowning at the black badger, "Big Amu only gave everyone a little food at a time. Everyone was so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to walk. You don't know, they all said that the leader Yaohu was there
At that time, we were only hungry in winter, but now we don’t even have enough to eat in spring.”
The black badger thought of the large pieces of venison in the fire beaver hole, looked at her and warned: "Don't tell them this, or you may be found out by Big Amu, who will drive you out of the tribe."
Ye Zi murmured in a low voice, "I don't think there is any need for Da Mu to drive away. Some tribesmen are also going to run away. They said they are looking for the Yaohu leader."
The black badger glanced at her, "I'm telling you..."
Suddenly there was a cry outside, and Ye and Black Badger ran out, only to see several tribesmen carrying an old uncle out of the cave.
A tall and strong man walked up to him and whispered: "Black Badger, Uncle Ah Chi is dead. He died of starvation."
Black Badger turned around and saw Big Amu's gloomy face, looking at the crying tribesmen, and suddenly began to doubt whether he was right or wrong in helping Huoli drive away Yaohu.

Under Yao Xiaoqing's guidance, Mu Feng and the others quickly built the toilet shed.
While they were building a shed for the latrine outside, she put the bamboo strips into the latrine, then went to get a water tank that had been heated just this morning and put it into the latrine, and filled the water tank with water.
