The stout man said: "Hua Pheasant, the Shenmu tribe said they live at the foot of the mountain. Let's go down the mountain and look for them along the foot of the mountain."
Another person wiped the sweat from his neck and said with some dissatisfaction: "Who knows where they are at the foot of the mountain? They should have left someone to guide us."
The slender man muttered as he walked, "I don't think you need to worry about them. After all, they are members of the same tribe. They beat them back and forth and make other tribes laugh."
Hua Pheasant turned to look at him and said, "Dashu, it seems you are dissatisfied with the leader's decision?"
The big tree looked at the iron tower-like flower pheasant and said with a smile: "How dare I be dissatisfied? You just make the decision."
Hua Pheasant looked at him and said coldly: "It was Yaohu who killed the Ahe people first, and the leader took them back to open the roof. These are the rules left by the Yaoshan tribe. You must remember them."
To open the roof, you have to bury the person in the soil, use a bone knife to remove the skull, and let the punished person die slowly. This is used to punish the evil people who betrayed the tribe and killed the tribe. This is too cruel to Yaohu and the others!
The big tree and the sturdy man turned to look at the pheasant, with surprised expressions on their faces.
The stout man looked at the flower pheasant and couldn't bear to say: "Open the top? This is too cruel! After all, they are our tribe, it is better to kill them."
"Leopard, I just said that this is a rule handed down from the tribe. Don't forget, our Yaoshan tribe was also a large tribe like the Giant Bear tribe." Hua Pheasant shouted angrily.
The leopard lowered his head and hurried on silently.
Weren’t the rules of the Yaoshan tribe broken by the Huoli? They colluded with Da’amu to seize the position of leader. After becoming the leader, only those who went out to hunt and the young and strong had enough to eat, but the old people didn’t have enough to eat in the spring.
Pass.
By winter, the rest will probably be a little green and strong. The big tree sneered and strode forward without saying a word.

Yao Xiaoqing got up early in the morning and came back from practicing. He took Ah Chong and Ah Shui down the mountain, opened the kiln, shoveled out the oyster ash, and loaded the last batch of shells into the kiln. It took only two days for more than ten large kilns to bake them together.
In a short time, all the piled shells were burned into oyster ash.
Looking at the piles of oyster ashes in the bamboo shed, Yao Xiaoqing estimated that it would be enough to build walls and pens for feeding livestock. After using up these, he started to burn the oyster ashes for the house.
The wolf walked to the kiln on crutches, holding a fishing cage made of rattan and rattan skin. He walked up to Yao Xiaoqing, opened the long fish cage, and said to her with a smile: "Qing Wu,
Do you think I made it up like it?"
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the fish cage, which was about three or four meters long, smiled and nodded: "Wolf, your hands are so skillful. I just gave you a rough idea and you made it up. I'll go back and let Hua make one later."
The sheep's liver is tied with a rope and put in as bait."
Ah Shui came over and looked at the long fish cage, "Can this catch fish? Won't the fish escape?"
Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the tapered entrances at both ends of the fish cage and said: "This position has a large entrance and a small exit. There are cross-woven thin bamboo strips inside, so the fish and shrimp can come out after entering."
Ah Shui's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Xiao Qing, I'll go up the mountain to get the bait and put the fish cages in the river to try. If they work, I'll make a few more."
Seeing him excited like a child, Yao Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Go ahead! Tie the bait inside so it doesn't fall out."
Ah Shui nodded and walked back carrying the fish cage.
The wolf looked at the firewood piled in front of the kiln and said, "Qing Wu, Uncle Chong, go ahead and leave this place to me."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said, "That's fine. Uncle Chong will help my father and the others dig the foundation. I'll go take a look in the ground."
In the past two days, Shan Amu and the others have come to open up wasteland when they have time. They have opened two acres of land, one acre is full of taro, and Yao Xiaoqing plans to plant the remaining acre of potato and beans.
But she had never planted yams by herself in her previous life, so she thought the method of growing yams would be similar to that of taro!
Yao Xiaoqing picked up the stone hoe and started to dig the field ridge. The stone hoe was clumsy and heavy. He hoeed down the soil and dug up a small pile of soil. After digging for a long time, half of the ridge was raised. She
I simply took the stone hoe back to the mountain and changed it to a wooden shovel to go down the mountain.
He inserted the wooden shovel into the soil, stepped on the edge of the shovel, and pried it hard. The soil shoveled up was several times more than the stone hoe. By the time the food gatherers came back, Yao Xiaoqing had already dug seven or eight ridges of land.
Yaohu led Mufeng and others as they passed by the ground, and said to her with a smile: "Xiaoqing, the foundation on the south side will be dug in the afternoon. How about you go and see the location of the gate left by my father?"
Several people went back to the place where Yao Hu left the courtyard gate. After looking at it, Yao Xiaoqing thought to himself: In his previous life, the country houses were arranged to face north and south, so they left the courtyard wall on the south side. He smiled and said, "Father, this is the location."
Not bad, just keep it here."
Yao Hu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll work harder this afternoon to dig all the foundations here."
Everyone smiled and responded: "Yes."
Mu Feng looked at the wooden shovel in her hand, raised the engineer shovel and said, "Xiaoqing, the wooden shovel is fine for prying the soft soil, but the hard soil below requires your shovel."
Zhi nodded at the side, "Yeah! God's shovel is easy to use, it would be great if we could make it too."
Yao Hu smiled and hit him on the head, "You kid, you can dream! This is a weapon of the gods. It is a great blessing that you can use it."
Yao Xiaoqing complained in his heart: If you want to make such a shovel, let alone this life, even the next life, I don’t know if it will be in the past life!
Whenever we can find iron or copper, it will be good.
Alas! Take your time! Eat the food one bite at a time. If you eat too quickly, you will choke to death.
A group of people returned to the mountain talking and laughing. Hua and Shan'amu had already laid out food, including wild vegetable soup and sophora flower cakes. When they were served, they smelled a refreshing fragrance.
Since Yao Xiaoqing taught them to steam sophora flower cakes with kudzu root powder and duck eggs last time, everyone thought it tasted good. Shan Amu and the others began to pick flower petals and steam them to eat flower cakes. This time they picked a lot more,
I even dried some dustpans in the yard.
After Yaohu and the others finished eating, they went down the mountain to get busy. Yao Xiaoqing took taro and asu and walked down the mountain carrying yams, yam beans, wooden shovels and buckets.
While taro and millet were digging ridges in the fields, Yao Xiaoqing used a small wooden shovel to pry the nests, leaving a nest one step apart.
Feeling that the soil was still moist, Yao Xiaoqing didn't water it. He pried the nests in the ground and placed a yam bean in each nest, then covered them with a layer of soil.
To dig the potatoes, we dug a few deeper trenches on the ridges and buried the potatoes in the soil. We were afraid that the potatoes would be blocked in the ground, so we only planted two ridges.
Several people worked hard until the sun went down and finally planted the yam beans.
Yaohu and others dug the foundation and sat there to rest. Ah Shui thought of the fish cages placed in the river and said to Ah Chong: "Let's go to the river to see if there are any fish in the fish cages?"
"Okay!" Ah Chong got up and followed Ah Shui towards the river.
Yao Xiaoqing and Taro Zi were walking back carrying baskets and wooden shovels, when they suddenly heard a roar coming from the other side of the trap.
Yao Xiaoqing shouted: "No, someone is coming. Go and call my father and the others."
