Yao Xiaoqing found that Yun Amu and Shan Amu were also playing with straw sandals there. The three of them had already packed a pile of straw sandals and placed them there.
Mufeng jumped over and took a pair, looked over it over and over, pointed to the strap on it, "Xiaoqing, what are you wearing?"
Yao Xiaoqing took out his own pair of shoes and said with a smile, "I'll teach you."
Everyone gathered around and watched her put on her shoes and tie them.
One by one, they took off their high-heeled shoes and started trying them on. Oh my god! The smell in the cave was so sour. Yao Xiaoqing covered her nose and ran out.
"Alas!" Mu Feng sighed, feeling that it really stinked, "Father, you see Xiaoqing dislikes us, we think you should wash your feet!"
"Is it really smelly?" Yao Hu looked at Yun Amu and the others.
The three of them nodded honestly, "It really stinks, like the smell of rotten meat."
Yao Hu looked at Mu Feng and the others, "Okay! Everyone has washed their feet."
Everyone took out a burning stick from the fire pit and went to the ditch to line up and wash their feet.
Yao Xiaoqing came out of the bamboo shed with her underwear and carried a bucket of hot water to the latrine to wash them. Thinking of the men who came down the mountain to wash their feet, she thought: Finally, we have taken a step forward.
The next morning everyone got up and had breakfast. Ah Chong went to the mountain forest to find a big tree, climbed up and started to watch. Yaohu and Dashi went to see Muba, Mufeng and Swine went to dig taro and kudzu root, Shan
I went to check the trap with the bull and cut some bamboo to go home.
Yaohu and Dashi met Muba and Wolf outside the mountain forest. After a few people exchanged greetings, Muba took Yaohu and Dashi to where they lived, a shed made of palm leaves and wooden sticks.
None of the Sishan tribe members went out to collect food. They all stood aside, making the group look even more embarrassed.
After Yaohu and Dashi sat down, Muba stood in a row with Mao and Wolf, put his left hand on his chest, bowed and saluted Yaohu, "Chief Yaohu, my tribe and I want to join your tribe, begging you.
Accept us."
Yaohu looked at them, thought for a moment, and said: "Brother Muba, I also want to accept you into my tribe. But the shaman in my tribe said that our Yaoshan tribe is a tribe with surnames, and outsiders want to join.
We, the Yaoshan tribe, must make a blood oath with us before we can accept you."
Witches, no one has ever heard that there are witches in the Yaoshan tribe! The new tribe led by Yaohu has only a dozen tribesmen, how can they afford to support them? If not, who can heal their injuries?
The three of them exchanged looks.
Muba asked in confusion: "Surname? Blood oath? What is it? When did the Yaoshan tribe worship the great witch? Why haven't we heard of it?"
"My daughter Xiaoqing is protected by the gods. She is now the shaman of our Yaoshan tribe. She said..." Yaohu told the three people what Yao Xiaoqing said.
After hearing this, Muba nodded and said: "Chief Yaohu, we are willing to join the Yaoshan tribe by taking a blood oath. We have a common enemy, the Giant Bear tribe. I, Muba, am a warrior of the Sishan tribe and will never betray the tribe."
Mao and Lang also echoed.
Yao Hu understood their desire for revenge, because the flame of hatred in his heart had never been extinguished. In the dead of night, it burned him like fire. When he closed his eyes, he saw the woman and son being killed.
But he knew that the difference in power between the two parties was too great. He also had Xiao Qing and Mu Feng, and he could not lead the people who followed him to die in vain.
"I believe you. I also want to kill the bear to avenge my tribe, women, and son, but there are too few warriors in our tribe. If we seek revenge from the bear, we will die."
The three of them said in unison: "We understand what the Yaohu leader said. If we join the Yaoshan tribe, we will obey the leader and will not go to the Giant Bear tribe to do anything arrogant."
Yao Hu said loudly: "After we swore an oath, you are the members of the Yaoshan tribe."
The wolf looked at Yaohu and Dashi, "Chief, were your injuries cured by the green witch?"
Yaohu glanced at the wound on the wolf's leg, picked up the leather skirt and pointed at the scar, "Look, this is the wound on my leg, and my foot. After the injury, I can't walk or stand up. Xiaoqing
I was given some magic medicine and I was fine in just a few days."
Dashi also showed them the injuries on his legs.
The wolf looked at the scars on Yaohu's legs and showed a gleam of hope.
Among the Sishan tribe, the one who wants to join the Yaoshan tribe the most is the wolf, because the wound on his leg is getting more and more painful, so painful that it is difficult for him to even walk. He is also afraid of becoming a person abandoned by the tribe.
"Chief, will the Green Witch use magic medicine to sacrifice and pray for me?"
Yao Hu nodded, "Yes."
The wolf's heart dropped.
Muba called all the tribesmen over and said to Da'amu: "Da'amu, let's follow the leader to the Yaoshan tribe and swear a blood oath to join the Yaoshan tribe. From now on, we will be people with a surname."
Big Amu grabbed Mu Ya's hand tightly, nodded and said: "Yes, Warrior Mu Ba."
Muba turned to look at Yaohu, "Chief, take us back to the tribe."
Yao Hu looked at them and said: "Okay, everyone follow me back to the tribe."
Looking at Yaohu and the others striding in front of them, Muya whispered to Damu: "Damu, do we really want to join the Yaoshan tribe? What about our Sishan tribe?"
The eldest grandma advised in a low voice: "Muya, don't say such things in front of everyone in the future. Only by joining the Yaoshan tribe can you hope to avenge your father, brother, mother, and sister."
"What's the use of the Yaoshan tribe with only a dozen people? Should we join the Wuxian tribe and the Dawu tribe? Only they can defeat the Giant Bear tribe." Muya growled.
Big Amu stopped and looked at Muya coldly, "Are you able to join the Wuxian Tribe and the Dawu Tribe if you want? Tribes without tribal territory can only become savages. A woman like you, in
The Wuxian Tribe can exchange it for a bamboo tube of salt, but you can’t even exchange it for the magic medicine of the Great Wuxian Tribe.”
"Grandma," Muya looked at her with tears in her eyes, "my father is your son, how could you say such a thing."
The old lady sighed, held her hand with pity and walked forward, whispering: "Muya, you have to remember that your father has gone to meet the gods, and you are no longer the daughter of the leader of the Sishan tribe."
Muya lowered his head and kept silent, walking forward mechanically.

Yao Xiaoqing took Jin Mao to the mountains for exercise and came back. After getting food for Jin Mao, he took Shui Bo at home to dismantle the two earthen stoves. Several people went to the slope to get some clay and filled the fire pit back.
After going down the mountain, I picked some half-dried mud bricks and returned to the mountain. I saw Shan carrying a goat into the yard.
Shan smiled and said to several people: "Look, a goat was caught in the trap."
Ah Shui smiled and said: "Shan, we should find a place to dig a few traps, and then we will go to the traps to get prey."
Ah Shui's words caught Shan's mind, "Yes, I want to go see and dig some traps."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the hole in the sheep's belly and suddenly remembered the blood oath.
"Uncle Shan, go to the river and see if you can catch a live teal or water bird. If my father brings them back, the blood of the live animal will be used when making the oath."
