Yao Xiaoqing took a towel, toothbrush, toothpaste and pots and bowls and went to the stream, washed the pots and bowls, and brushed her teeth.
After scrubbing her body with stream water, the golden retriever sat aside and looked at her curiously.
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Little Golden Retriever, you have to watch girls take a shower."
The golden retriever simply ran to her side, looked up at her for a while, stuck out his buttocks and imitated her holding water to wash her face.
Seeing its strange appearance, Yao Xiaoqing laughed happily.
The water was a little cold, so Yao Xiaoqing washed her hands in a few times, took off her animal skin shoes, quickly scrubbed her smelly feet, shook them a few times and put them on again.
He scratched his head and touched the cold stream water, but still didn't dare to wash his hair. He sighed, thinking that there were so many things he needed, and Yao Xiaoqing didn't even know where to start? How to start?
Looking at the thick tree trunk, I thought that two bowls for three people would be very inconvenient for eating. I thought of the stone pots and bowls in the tribe, so let’s start with something to fill our stomachs!
"My father made two wooden bowls."
Yao Hu nodded, "Bring the wood over here."
Yao Xiaoqing immediately went over and took the wood and the engineer shovel. He sawed the wood into a section about five inches long and handed it to Yao Hu. He took out a stone knife and dug out the middle of the wood.
Yao Xiaoqing's eyes lit up after seeing it. When she went to the tribe, she could find a big tree to dig a wooden basin and a bathtub to take a bath. When she thought of taking a bath, her scalp started to itch. She didn't need to think about it. She knew that it must be growing on her body.
Lice.
Relying on the few things in the bag and the pile of legumes is not a long-term solution. The food problem must be solved first. If you can't even fill your stomach, how can you talk about hygiene?
Yaohu and Mufeng made bowls, while Yao Xiaoqing took the branches and vines and began to weave baskets.
I recalled the scene when my father and grandfather were making backpacks. I found a dozen branches as thick as my thumb and put them aside for later use.
Take out the vines, straighten them out and put them aside, cross the prepared branches vertically and horizontally, then cross-wrap thin vines around the branches, beat them tightly with a wooden stick, and weave them round and round, and slowly the bottom will be formed.
Then cut a few thicker branches and insert a few vertically, then insert a few more in the shape of a rice at the bottom, and raise all the branches upward to weave. I stopped digging the wooden wind bowl and squatted next to her, watching and asking, Yao Xiaoqing
Explain it carefully to him according to the preparation method in memory.
Yaohu watched her while digging and chipping wood. He watched her for a long time but couldn't see what she was doing.
"Xiaoqing, what are you doing?"
"Back basket, you can use it to carry things back when you go out to pick them up." Yao Xiaoqing struggled with the branches and vines without raising his head.
Mufeng was itching to see it, so he took a vine and said, "Xiaoqing, let me help you."
"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing handed him the work in hand readily.
After correcting Mu Feng twice, Yao Xiaoqing found that Mu Feng was a little clumsy in the first two turns, but after two turns, he showed that he had a pair of skillful hands. It only took half an hour to weave the basket to half a foot high.
.
Yao Xiaoqing sat by the fire, watching Mu Feng knitting a backpack. After watching for a while, his head began to move little by little.
Yao Hu said to her: "Xiao Qing, let your brother do it, you can sleep!"
"Okay." He scratched his itchy scalp and took the sleeping bag more than one meter away from the fire. He looked at the sleeping bag. He was worried that there were really lice on his head and fell into it. He didn't dare to sleep in the sleeping bag.
Kaipu lay down on his side on the ground.
When the golden retriever saw her lying down, he also ran to her side and nestled at her feet.
Yao Xiaoqing thought she would not be able to sleep, so she fell asleep within two minutes of lying down.

Yue'amu returned to the tribe in hiding. Before entering the cave, the black badger's woman, Ye Zi, quietly walked over, grabbed her and whispered: "Yue'amu, the leader and the black badger are going to drive you away."
go out."
Yue Amu looked at Ye Zi, "We are from the Yaoshan tribe, why do they drive us away?"
Ye Zi looked around cautiously and whispered in her ear: "Da Wu is missing. I heard they said that people who are friendly with Yao Hu and those who can't hunt and work will be driven out of the tribe. You should be careful."
After Ye Zi finished speaking, he left in a panic.
Although he had already guessed Huoli's plan, Yue'am was still a little panicked when he really had to leave the tribe.
He hurriedly walked towards the cave, looking at the mountains and rocks lying there, and the bull sitting there in a daze, wondering how to tell them the news?
Shan heard the footsteps, opened his eyes and looked at her weakly, "Mom, is the leader awake?"
Yue Amu nodded and sat next to the three of them, took out the piece of dark food, broke it open and gave some to each person, and said with a sad face: "Xiao Qing said that the leader is awake. When I came back, I heard Ye Zi say that the black badger
We are discussing with Huoli and others to drive us away, what do you think we should do? Without the tribe, we will be savages." Yue Amu's tears flowed down.
The male bull lamely walked to the mountain, looked at him and whispered: "Shan, Dashi, let's go find the leader of Yaohu."
Dashi grimaced, "They drove the leader away that day, so we should have gone together."
Shan looked at them and said, "Let's go find the leader. He won't let us go. Grandma, you go find Uncle Pig, Uncle Shui, Uncle Yun, and Uncle Chong, and tell them we're leaving together."
"Okay." Yue'amu got up and the bull held her back, "Yue'amu, don't tell them that the leader is awake."
Yue Amu nodded, "I know Huoli has always wanted the leader to die, and we can't let him know about it."

In the cave where the leader of the Yaoshan tribe lived, four strong men were sitting around. In the open space between the four men were several pieces of meat, and their mouths were filled with oil.
The short and stocky one is called Black Badger. He has a long face, dark skin, a pair of shining mouse eyes, big nostrils, two thick lips, and a flattering smile.
He stretched his neck and whispered to Huoli, who was wearing a leader's feather crown, a tiger's back and a fierce expression: "Chief, those people are all Yaohu's people, and those two old guys, they used to help Yaohu,
Drive them out and there will be enough food left."
The man named Shan Shu, who had a sinister appearance and a rat's eye, said eagerly: "Chief, the black badger is right, I will drive them away right now."
Huoli glanced at him and said to the lean man who was eating meat in a muffled voice: "Huahu, go and see if Dawu is back, and ask him to come and ask him what he thinks?"
Huahu grabbed a piece of meat and took a bite before saying: "Big Chief, Dawu said that he will hide when he hunts good things, and he will not give food to those who cannot hunt."
Huoli looked at the Hualihu who was eating non-stop with a sullen face, "Why didn't he tell me when he went out to hunt?"
"Chief, he said he didn't want to raise that bunch of trash." Mountain Rat said.
The black badger also wanted to get rid of those burdens, "Chief, look at other tribes, they drive out those who are injured and cannot hunt for food to become savages. If there is more food, there will be more warriors. We have fewer warriors, but we have raised too many.
Those useless people, drive those people away. After we hunt for food and go to Qiu Mountain to exchange for women, our Yaoshan tribe will definitely become a big tribe."
What Black Badger said was what Huoli always wanted to do. He thought this was only fair. The tribe should not raise those useless people and drag down the tribe.
Huoli acted as if he had no choice but to agree to their request. He hesitated and said in a serious tone: "Okay! You are the warriors of my Yaoshan tribe, and I will drive away those useless people according to your requirements."
