Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Back in the tribe, Yao Xiaoqing left a bundle of sugarcane for everyone to taste, and the others dug a shallow pit and buried it in the soil.Take Achong and the others to plant those sugarcane Laodou.

When she arrived at the open space, Yao Xiaoqing dug some soil down. The upper layer of soil was rotten soil, and the lower layer of soil was mixed with sand. She thought that such soil quality should be fine for growing sugarcane.

Yao Xiaoqing asked Achong and the others to dig ditches to plant Laodou first, then cultivated soil to cover Laodou, and dug out drainage ditches around it.

At night, Yao Xiaoqing told Yaohu about meeting the Shenlu tribe.

"Could it be from the Shenmu tribe?" Mu Feng said.

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "The people of the Shenmu tribe have totems painted on their bodies, I know them!"

Yaohu thought for a while, "Shenlu tribe shouldn't come here to hunt! It takes several days to travel from their territory to here. I think they should be people from small tribes who just migrated here."

After hearing this, Yao Xiaoqing felt that it was also possible.

Mu Feng looked at her, "Xiaoqing, don't go out these few days, if something happens, you will be in trouble."

Yao Xiaoqing felt a little regretful, "It's also my fault that I let them go for a moment. If I knew it, I would have brought them back and let my father see it!"

Sure enough, to be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself, and you will never have the kindness of a woman again.

Yaohu also looked at her and said: "You should not go out these few days."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and comforted the two, "I have to open up wasteland to plant sugarcane these days, and I don't have time to go out!"

"Going out in the future, you need someone to follow you." Yaohu said worriedly.

"Okay~Okay! I will definitely take people out with me, father, brother, you are all tired all day, go and rest!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled and pushed Yaohu into the room.

Mu Feng said behind her: "You go to bed early too!"

The short and stout man was dragged all the way by two women, and he staggered for half an hour before he woke up.He felt ringing in his ears, looked at the ground and felt dizzy and nauseated.

"What's wrong with me?" He closed his eyes and asked the two women.

The daring woman looked at him and felt a little strange, "Mukui, have you forgotten? We saw a little woman there alone at the foot of the hill. If you said to catch her and go back to match, you just..."

"Ah, don't talk about it," the short and stout man named Mu Kui felt a pain like a needle in his head, and sat on the ground with his head in his arms.

The timid woman looked behind her in horror, thinking that Yao Xiaoqing would appear from behind inadvertently.

Grabbing the brave woman, "A'nan, that woman was transformed by a mountain demon and ate Mukui's brain."

Thinking of what happened just now, Anan's heart beat wildly, and he nodded in horror, "Come on, let's go back to the tribe and let the leader take a look."

The two dragged the Mukui, stumbled over the hills, crossed a stream, and walked through the forest to the foot of a shallow mountain at dusk.At the foot of the mountain, there is a round thatched shed built into a circle, with a bonfire burning in the open space in the middle.

There was a group of people baking food around the bonfire, fifty or sixty men and women, and a few children.

A thin little boy saw a few people, showed a joyful smile, went up to hold the timid woman's hand, "Grandma, you're back!"

"Hmm!" The timid woman smiled at him.

The others saw Mu Kui being supported by two people, and a tall and strong man looked at them, "A'nan, what's wrong with Mu Kui?"

The two helped Mu Kui to the campfire. Anan stretched out his neck to expose the wound, and said to the tall man, "Boss, we are under the hill..."

The leader glanced at the bloodstain on her neck, then looked at Mukui, "It can't be a mountain demon. If it was, you would have been eaten long ago. There are Yaoshan tribe, Lingque tribe, Shenmu tribe, Shenmu tribe nearby." The tribe's totem is the wood charm, you probably met someone from the Shenmu tribe."

The fear in the hearts of the two of them eased after hearing this, "Yes, leader."

The leader glanced at Mu Kui, "Lie him in the thatched shed and rest for two days."

The two men stood up and carried Mu Kui to the thatched hut.

The leader looked at Mu Kui and felt that with Mu Kui's ability, it would be easy for him to deal with several women by himself, but now he was beaten like this by a little woman. Who on earth hurt Mu Kui? Did he really meet? Mountain monster?

"Don't go to the forest over there these days. If the Shenmu tribe finds you, they will trouble us."

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, leader."

Two days later, Yan Yu took Qing Huo and the others to the upper reaches of the Ning River.Several people stood on the mountain, looking at the wide and flat river valley below, the bottom of the valley was covered with green grass, and on the river water like a white jade belt, flocks of wild ducks and waterfowl were playing and flying on the river surface.

There are groups of cattle, sheep and musk deer on the grass, grazing and playing leisurely.

There is a big buffalo with two curved horns, and a big yellow ox with pointed and short horns. Behind the big cow is a small calf looking around curiously with big eyes.

Yan Yu pointed to the little calf and said to the five warriors: "Qinghuo and I will drive away the big bull, and you will tie the calf with a rope and take it away. Remember not to kill it."

The five nodded and said, "Yes, Yan Yu."

They took out long wooden sticks prepared in advance, tied nooses on them, and held a long rope in their hands.

Yan Yu and Qing Huo quickly rushed towards the cows in the river valley with their forged wooden spears and nooses.

The cattle and sheep in the river valley were frightened by the few people running down.Yan Yu held up the wooden spear, and her vigorous body moved and dodged among the cattle, driving the big cattle towards the river.

Five warriors held up long wooden sticks, lassoed the calf with a noose tied to it, and drove it towards the shore.It looks a bit like the posture of a Mongolian horse.

After a while, the five of them held a calf in their hands and whistled at Yan Yu, and they led the calf towards the river bank.Yan Yu also caught a calf chasing the big bull and walked back.

Several people climbed to the top of the mountain with their oxen, and Qinghuo, who was broken, also chased after him.Several people tied the calf with a long rope and led it back.

Yao Xiaoqing took a dozen old uncles and a dozen women, and chose a soft sandy land under the wall on the west side of the river, and started to open up wasteland.

Everyone used stone axes and wooden shovels to dig out the ground, and picked out the big rocks and small stones, as well as the small tree stumps that were cut down. If the stumps were too big, they were left alone.

It took more than 20 people a few days to open four or five acres of land and spread a layer of mulch.

Yao Xiaoqing sighed inwardly. If there were hoes and plows, more than 20 people could produce at least a dozen mu of land in such a wasteland with soft soil.

After the ground was dug, Yao Xiaoqing asked Uncle A Chong to dig out the furrows and spread a layer of rot.She took a few taro seeds and dug out the sugar cane buried in the pit.

Peel off the sugarcane leaves, and you can see the buds on the cane nodes. Cut off the stalks and roots, move them to the side of the ditch to clean them, and wash them again with warm water.

Cut off the cleaned sugarcane every three buds, and leave the ones without buds to eat.
