Yao Xiaoqing poured salt into a jar and heated it, and Hua carried the washed food into the yard.
"Xiao Qing, what do you think of fried wild vegetable duck egg pancakes, wild duck and bird meat for lunch?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the internal organs in the basin, "The fat intestines are cooked and stir-fried with the wild onions picked yesterday. I stew some bones to make soup. I'll pickle the wild duck and bird meat with salt."
"Hey! I'll help you when it's stewed."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, picked up the meat strips and bones, rubbed salt on them one by one, poked a hole in the meat strips with a dagger, and put them in a basin to wait for them to taste.
He went into the cave to find a piece of thin rope and used a knife to cut it into a length of one foot to make a length of bacon rope.
As soon as I sat down against the fence, I heard someone pushing open the courtyard door and walking in. I turned around and saw that it was Mu Ya walking in with a dark face.
Muya entered the yard and saw Yao Xiaoqing sitting there. He glared at her angrily, pouted and went straight into the cave and threw himself on the animal skin.
Yao Xiaoqing didn't even bother to look at her and continued to tie the rope.
The wolf put down the barrel in his hand, looked at Mu Ya and asked, "Mu Ya, why are you back so early?"
"You don't care about me!" Muya replied without raising his head.
The wolf walked to Muya on crutches and said, "Muya, you see Yaya hasn't come back yet. It's not good for you to come back so early!"
Mu Ya turned over and climbed up, roaring at the wolf: "They think my work is not as good as Yaya's, and they say that I don't collect as many wild vegetables as weeds. Big Amu also helped them speak, why should I stay there?"
Look at their faces?"
The wolf frowned and looked at her, "If you don't go out to collect food, what do you want to do? Do you think we are still in Si Mountain and there are clansmen at your disposal?"
"She didn't go to work in the mountains either, so why should I go out?" Mu Ya looked at the wolf and wiped her tears in grievance, "I know, my father is gone, so you join the Yaoshan tribe because you don't like me.
Alright, I’m leaving!”
The wolf hurriedly grabbed her, "Muya, where are you going?"
"You don't have to worry about it." Mu Ya roared angrily and pushed hard, running to the entrance of the cave.
The wolf fell to the ground and let out a scream.
Hua and Yao Xiaoqing put down the strings in their hands and ran in. They saw the wolf sitting on the ground holding his injured leg with a cold sweat on his face.
Muya looked at the two of them in confusion, "I didn't mean it, who asked him to pull me?" After saying that, he covered his face and ran out.
Yao Xiaoqing glanced at Mu Ya's back and realized that there are naughty children in any era.
"Let me see how your legs are doing?"
"It hurts. It seems like it's broken again." The wolf let go of his hand holding his leg and his face began to turn pale.
Yao Xiaoqing took a look and found that a broken splint was stuck on the wolf's leg. He sighed in his heart: It's like this, and a second injury is inevitable.
She untied the rope, checked it over and said to the wolf: "There is some displacement, so we have to re-set the bones."
The wolf heard that it could be cured, and looked at her gratefully, "Thank you Qing Wu."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and thought: It seems that everyone has learned this word from Yao Hu's mouth. Their receptive ability is still good. They can teach other words in the future.
The wolf bit the wooden stick and waited for Yao Xiaoqing to re-set his bones and tie him with a splint. He was already sweating like rain from the pain.
Yao Xiaoqing covered him with an animal skin and asked Hua to make a bowl of salt water for him to drink and let him rest.
The wolf nodded, watched her walk out of the cave with the flowers, and closed her eyes weakly.
Yao Xiaoqing and Hua walked into the yard, but Mu Ya had disappeared.
Hua said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Where did Muya go? Are we going to find her?"
For someone who loses her temper, pushes the injured person down, and shirks responsibility, Yao Xiaoqing feels that there is something wrong with her character.
Besides, in the wilderness, where can a spoiled child go?
"Don't worry about her, she can't run far."
Hua said angrily: "That's right, she is still competing with you! Can she do the work that you can do? I heard from Eminem that she was clamoring to live in a bamboo shack last night, and just now she also said that you didn't go out
Work and play in the mountains."
Yao Xiaoqing discovered yesterday that Shan Amu and the others had complaints about Muya's ancestors and grandsons, and thought that over time, everyone would get along well with each other. Unexpectedly, Muya would start to compare with her.
She thinks that gathering food is painful, but who in this world lives without hardship?
Everyone is working hard to fill their stomachs. For a hard-working old man like Zhong Bo, even if she takes a day off from poisoning, she is worried that she will be rejected by her tribe and abandon her. What right does she have to be coquettish and lazy?
Not to mention she is the daughter of a wiped out primitive tribe leader. She traveled here thousands of years later and went from having everything she wanted to having nothing. Who can understand the pain in her heart.
"Hua, tell Amu and the others not to argue with them. I'll let Afu and Muba talk about it. If it doesn't work, we can all go into groups to collect food to avoid any trouble."
Hua looked at her with admiration on her face and said, "Xiaoqing, we all listen to you. We will do whatever you say."
Seeing her adoring look, Yao Xiaoqing smiled a little, "Okay! Go make lunch quickly, the people who work will be back later."
Hua smiled and nodded, then started to stew the mushrooms and scald the bones, "Xiaoqing, we've finished eating the mushrooms. Let's pick some back tomorrow."
Yao Xiaoqing thought that the oyster ash kiln would be opened tomorrow, "There are many in the forest, let's go together in the afternoon."
Rub the meat in the basin and let it marinate until the evening.
Yao Xiaoqing found a few wooden sticks, tied them to a frame, and prepared to go to the mountain to pick some fragrant leaves and bring them back to smoke meat. She took the engineer shovel and walked up the mountain, thinking that there were more than a dozen people to eat, so it was time to go to the wild animals passing by.
Try digging a few traps somewhere, and you can get some results every now and then.
Muya ran down the mountain and wanted to go into the forest. Suddenly she thought of Yaohu saying that there were traps in the forest, and she lost the courage after thinking about it.
I turned around and sat on a big rock under the tree, crying in frustration.
Sitting on the tree, Qiu looked at Muya sitting under the tree, shaking his head constantly, feeling that Yang and Yaohu were both leaders, but their children were so different.
Yao Xiaoqing carried a large bundle of fragrant leaf branches and pine branches to the foot of the mountain. She saw Mu Ya sitting under the tree and taking a nap, and felt that it was indeed what she expected.
Mu Ya opened her eyes and looked at her, thinking that Yao Xiaoqing would tell her to go back, so she turned her head to the side without thinking.
Yao Xiaoqing carried the fragrant leaf branch and walked straight away.
Mu Ya was left stunned: Why didn't she ask me to go back?
Yao Xiaoqing knew exactly what to say: Who else is your father or mother, who is used to your young lady’s temper?
Not long after returning to the mountain, Shan'am and the others returned to the yard.
Everyone harvested a basket full of wild vegetables and brought back two baskets of kudzu root and yams.
In the vegetable basket are some root plants with a few wild duck eggs on them.
Yao Xiaoqing found some purple flowers in two baskets that looked familiar. He picked one up and looked at it, and found that it was a pea flower.
She hurriedly asked: "Emma, where did you pick these flowers?"
"Qinggu, I picked them. There are a lot of them by the river!" Yaya raised her head and looked at her and said.
Yao Xiaoqing touched her head and said with a smile: "Okay, I will take Qinggu to see her this afternoon."
"Hey!" Yaya nodded and said, "Qinggu, Golden Retriever didn't come back with me and ran away to the mountains."
