Yaohu asked Uncle Huai to prepare canes and cane bark, and called Mufeng over. One father and son taught them how to weave backpacks, and the other taught them how to weave straw sandals.
Uncle Huai brought two men over, "They can also make up some things, but they're just not as good as you."
"That's good. I know some people who can learn quickly." Yao Hu quickly taught the person who was learning to weave straw sandals.
Uncle Huai looked at it for a while, showing a frustrated expression. He felt a little better after seeing the tedious work of Mufeng knitting the backpack.
By the time Mu Feng had knitted the backpack and finished teaching all the steps, it was already dusk. When he returned to his place of residence, he saw a dozen women who had returned, sitting there timidly with their necks hunched.
Yaohu asked Mufeng to bring out the food, and each of them shared a piece of dried meat and a salted duck egg. The women took the dried meat and saluted Mufeng gratefully.
Mufeng said to Yaohu: "Father, there is not enough food."
"Go back and hunt on the road." Yao Hu looked at it and said.
The leopard came back before dark. He panted and sat down on the ground, "It's so hot, people are almost cooked by the sun."
Yao Hu smiled and handed the bamboo tube to him, "You are thirsty! Drink some water first."
Leopard took "Gudong Gudong" and drank it, then said: "Chief, Huoli and his men are hiding in the forest where we kill wolves."
"Bah!" Mu Feng cursed angrily, "This jackal only does bad things secretly, so go down the mountain and kill him."
Leopard advised: "Mufeng, they have more people than us, so we don't need to be afraid of them with our bare hands, but we carry so much food and those women, we can't fight them head-on."
"Bao Bao is right, we can't fight them head-on." Yao Hu agreed with Bao Bao's idea.
Dashu and others looked at Yaohu, "Chief, if we don't fight them hard, where will we go from here?"
Yao Hu said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, he can't stop us. Let's have a good rest here for the night. I know a trail. Let's go down the mountain from there early tomorrow morning and let them wait there."
Mufeng smiled and nodded, "Okay, let them feed the mosquitoes there."
"Chief, Quan should be leaving with someone now, right?" Dashu said.
Yao Hu thought for a moment and nodded, "I should pick up someone and leave."

Quan woke up early in the morning and ate a piece of dried meat. He came out of the tree hole and climbed up the mountain toward the tribe. As soon as he climbed halfway up the mountain, he saw a few people from Ada coming down from above with stone knives.
Quan imitated the bird's call and hid behind a big tree by the road. When Ada and others heard the bird's call, they showed happy expressions and walked towards the place where Ada was hiding.
Ada looked at Quan hiding behind the tree and asked in surprise: "Quan, why are you here?"
"The leader asked me to take you to the new Yaoshan tribe." Quan said with a smile.
The old uncle behind Ada asked: "The leader really asked you to pick us up?"
Quan nodded, "Yes, Uncle Alin. The leader has gone to Qiu Shan to exchange for goods. I will pick you up first."
The old uncle happily pulled Ada and said, "Let's go to the leader."
"Quan, we can't go out to hunt," Ada thought for a moment, "Can the leader feed us people?"
"Yes, the leader has opened a large open space. Xiaoqing taught us how to plant... and you can farm and fish when you go. The leader said that we should take all the people who were close to us to the new tribe." Quan
He said with gestures and gestures.
Ada and the others longed for the days Quan said, "Okay, you wait while I call Diyang, Qinggang and the others."
Quan nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the tree hole at the bottom of the mountain. When everyone arrives, imitate the bird call twice to tell them not to go back to get anything. We have all the animal skins over there!"
"Okay, if you don't know how to get things, it should be faster. You wait, we will call people separately,"
Quan nodded and watched as several people went to call for others.
I went down the mountain and got into a tree hole, rested for a while, and stood under the tree waiting anxiously. When the sun rose, I saw Ada leading Qing Gang and a dozen men walking down the mountain. After a while, I saw Uncle A Lin leading
A dozen or so collecting mothers and uncles came.
When everyone saw Quandu, he excitedly stepped forward and gave him a gentle beating, "Good brother, the leader has finally sent you to pick us up."
Quan smiled and nodded, "The leader has wanted to send someone to pick you up for a long time. The tribe is too busy, and everyone is rushing to build the wall before the rainy season. That's why we came."
While talking, Uncle Alin also arrived with people. Quan took a look and found that nearly half of the people in the tribe had followed him.
Quan waved his hand and said, "Let's go ahead and wait for the leader and the others."
A group of people followed Quan toward the cave. When they arrived at the cave, it was already dark. They stayed inside for one night, left their marks, and headed toward the tribe.

Yaohu and his party set off at dawn. The men carried backpacks and the women carried animal skin bags. Under the leadership of Yaohu, they descended the mountain from a rugged path and walked towards the territory of the Gongyang tribe.
The group of people arrived at the cave the next night and saw the mark left by Quan. Knowing that they had left, they stayed there one night and continued on their way.
On the afternoon of the third day, as soon as they reached the back mountain, Ah Chong, who was hiding in a tree and watching out, shouted loudly from the tree, "The leader is back, the leader is back."
After collecting dried vegetables and mushrooms in the yard, he opened the courtyard door and ran down the mountain. When he arrived at the construction site, he waved and said, "Xiaoqing, the leader and his companions are back."
"The leader is back!" A group of people dropped their tools and ran towards the door.
A dozen women carried animal skin bags on their backs, curiously looking at the high stones as they walked.
Mu Feng quickened his pace and walked to the gate. He saw the people coming to greet him. Looking at Yao Xiaoqing walking in front, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Xiao Qing, we are back."
Yao Xiaoqing looked at Mu Feng who was bent over by the basket with a smile on his face, "Brother, you must be tired!"
"Yeah!" Mufeng nodded heavily, "Cook something delicious. I'm almost starving. The food outside is too unpalatable."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Okay, the sauerkraut I pickled is ready. I will pick some peppers and cook the sauerkraut fish for you."
When he heard that there was fresh food, Mufeng nodded happily, "Brother, I don't have to be picky, the food you cook is all delicious."
Ah Shui said hurriedly: "I'll go get the fish cage."
Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly said: "Uncle Shui, I want a bigger one."
"Yes, I saw it when I was sifting the sand. There were a few big fish in the fish cage." Uncle Shui hurried towards the river.
At this time, Yaohu, Muba and the others also arrived, "Xiaoqing, we are back."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled happily at Yao Hu, "Father, you have worked hard. Uncle Muba, you put the food in the first house, and I will pick peppers and cook pickled fish for you to eat."
"Okay." Yao Hu looked at his daughter and nodded with a smile.
Ada and Uncle Alin, who had just arrived two days ago, all came over and surrounded Yaohu.
The dozen or so women who followed looked at the gate stupidly, then followed the bull carefully across the threshold and walked in.
