After the two men left, Wu went to the lion's cave and told him the news that the cow had been brought back.
The lion looked at him furiously, "How dare he threaten us? I will take people to kill them!"
"If you want to kill them, wait until you find a way to deal with the flying spears. Let someone tell Yao Hu that next spring, we will wait for the Shenmu tribe's revenge."
The witch looked at the lion and sneered in his heart: A wild bull thinks he is a lion!

As soon as the sky turned white, Yao Xiaoqing went to the mountain to exercise. He ran to the top of the mountain and watched a layer of mist passing through the gaps in the woods. From a distance, the woods by the river looked like a fairyland.
The people from the Yaoshan tribe also followed. It was a peaceful night, and the traps in the forest were still intact. It seemed that no one from the Shenmu tribe had come.
Everyone felt a little relieved, and gathered around the pool for a rare moment, washing their faces and combing their hair. Yaohu took the opportunity to tell other unsuspecting tribesmen the location of the trap, so that no one would fall into the trap by mistake. After everyone agreed, they waited for a few seconds
An old lady helped them tidy up the chicken coop.
Shan and Dashi went to the river trap to check. Shan Amu took the flowers and taro, fished out the kudzu powder that had undergone the last precipitation from the barrel, broke it into pieces and dried it in the dustpan.
Yun Amu took Ah Su to make breakfast. Yaohu was teaching Muba and Spear to practice archery, and Yaya and Jinmao were sitting on a bamboo bench playing with clay figurines.
When Shan He Dashi carried a big wild boar up from the bottom of the mountain, everyone gathered around it happily and cheered in unison, thinking it was a good sign.
Yao Xiaoqing came down from the mountain and saw neatly dressed men watching the wild boar. He said with a smile: "Okay! We just use this wild boar to sacrifice to the gods."
I don't know when the gorgeous morning glow dyed half the sky red. Yao Xiaoqing washed up and began to preside over the oath ceremony.
The stone slab was placed in the center of the yard, and the wild boar was placed on it. There were wild ducks and water birds next to it. Yao Xiaoqing looked at these three sacrificial items, some were very big, some were very small, and she thought of the three sacrificial animals on TV in her previous life. She
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times: Don't blame the gods, the conditions really don't allow it, so you'll just have to make do with it.
Yao Xiaoqing took out the paper torn from the notebook and asked Yaohu and Muba to kill one live duck and one waterfowl each in the baskets, put the blood into an earthenware basin, and dipped the chewed wicker sticks in the blood and wrote
The content of the oath.
Yao Xiaoqing asked the people from the Yaoshan tribe and the Sishan tribe to kneel on one knee in front of the three sacrificial animals.
She handed the blood in the basin to Yaohu and Muba who were kneeling in front and took a sip. She handed the paper with the oath written in blood to them and asked them to read it after her.
Yao Hu and Mu Ba held the thin paper and looked at the bright red words on it. They followed Yao Xiaoqing and finished reading with solemn expressions. Everyone also followed suit.
Yao Xiaoqing asked the two of them to put the oaths into the mineral water bottle she had saved, put the lid on and let them bury it in the soil, and the ceremony was over.
When Muba came back from the mountain, he took the people of the Sishan tribe and bowed to Yaohu and Yao Xiaoqing. Yaohu said with a smile: "We are all brothers and sisters of the Yaoshan tribe."
Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, leader."
After Yun Amu and the others brought the food to the stone slab and ate it, Ah Chong who was guarding the mountain still didn't give any warning.
Seeing the sun getting higher and higher and the weather being so good, Yao Hu felt that he could not do anything but stay on the mountain and wait for the people from the Shenmu tribe to come.
He began to arrange for people to go down to the mountain to work: Mu Feng and Zhi went to get the kudzu, taro, and yam, while Shan Amu and the others went to the river to collect duck eggs.
The big stones and spears were left on the trees to keep watch. Others went to the river to collect stones, sift sand and shells. After the arrangements were made, everyone took their places and went down the mountain with their tools.
Yao Xiaoqing said to Yun Amu and the others: "Amu, you will follow Mu Feng and Pig to collect by the river in the north this time. Be careful on the way."
Shan’am smiled and nodded, “I got it!”
After they left, Yao Xiaoqing looked at the big wild boar and thought that now that there was salt, she could make some bacon and smoke it before it was too hot. She said to Ah Shui: "Uncle Shui, the wild boar this time
Don’t bake it, peel it out, cut it into long strips and wait for me to come back and marinate it.”
"Hey! Xiaoqing is making new food again." Ah Shui happily agreed.
Soon after Yaohu led his people to the river, he saw two people from the Shenmu tribe coming from the river.
Xiong Niu looked at the two of them, "Chief, why did they only come with two people?"
"Maybe he came here to make a war pact," Muba said.
After the two people arrived, they looked at the people working by the river and said loudly: "Which one of you is from the Yaoshan tribe?"
The bull took a step forward, glared at the two of them and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The two of them were stunned for a moment and said loudly: "Our leader told you to wait for the Shenmu tribe's revenge when next spring comes."
"Tell your leaders that the Yaoshan tribe will fight at any time." Yaohu responded in a deep voice.
When the two of them walked away, Xiongniu looked at Yaohu and said, "Chief, why do they have to wait for next spring?"
"They came because they wanted to find weapons that could restrain bows and arrows." The Shenmu tribe's retreat made Yaohu more confident. He looked at several people and said loudly: "While they don't dare to come, let's quickly build the wall that Xiaoqing said."
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, leader."
Yao Xiaoqing took Ah Chong, who had gone down the mountain to eat, and went down to the pond to continue making shells.
After the fire burned for several hours, the shells were burned orange-red, and the adobe bricks laid on the kiln chamber also turned red and sank. Yao Xiaoqing began to seal the furnace, sealing it with yellow mud, and prepared to stew it for one night.
Tiankai kiln to collect oyster ash.
After sealing the kiln, Yao Xiaoqing saw that Ah Chong had made hundreds of mud bricks and dried them one by one on the open space covered with sand.
Yao Xiaoqing Ah Chong said something and went to the field to check the pumpkin seedlings and pepper seedlings.
When I found it in the field, two or three days later, the two leaves of the pumpkin seedlings had opened, revealing fluffy leaves, and the peppers had also grown two or three true leaves.
Yao Xiaoqing discovered that there was a row of wild vegetables like rapeseed planted on the edge of the field. The seedlings were thin and stunted. There were many weeds growing in the millet and taro fields, and it was time to weed and fertilize.
When he returned to the mountain, he saw that Uncle Shui and the others had chopped the meat into long strips. When he saw her coming back, he smiled and said, "Xiao Qing, Hua has washed the internal organs and put them in the basket. You come to marinate the meat and refine the oil. I'll go down the mountain."
Help Ah Chong make bricks."
Yao Xiaoqing saw that the strips of meat placed on the stone slab had been cut into pieces weighing two or three kilograms. He smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay! Uncle Shui, take the two uncles to chop some moso bamboo and build a row of bamboos there."
Do not surround the bamboo shed with thatch, and cover it with earth bricks and the furnace."
"Okay." Ah Shui took the two old uncles down the mountain to work.
