Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 15 Chapter 15
After the big cat meat was roasted, everyone shared a piece, and even the golden retriever got a piece of lean meat.

The golden retriever sniffed the big cat meat in front of it, ran to Yao Xiaoqing in disgust, and asked for ham sausage.

"The little thing is still picky." Yaohu smiled and gave the meat to Mufeng, and wrapped the rest in palm leaves and put it in his back pocket.

Yao Xiaoqing gave it a ham sausage, picked up the lynx meat and took a bite: the meat was still tender, but it had a strong smell of mutton.

Seeing everyone eating poria cocos and meat with happy expressions on their faces, Yao Xiaoqing also started to eat.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone fetched water to extinguish the fire, packed up their belongings, and rushed towards their destination in high spirits.

After a night's rest, the spirits of Shan, Dashi and Yaohu are much better than yesterday.

After eating the meat and poria cocos, everyone's stomachs were full of oil and water, their stomachs were no longer empty, and their energy and spirit improved a lot. The speed of walking was more than twice as fast as yesterday.

At noon, it began to drizzle, but fortunately, the tall trees and dense rain could not drench everyone.

Everyone hurried on the road in the foggy mountains and forests until it was dark. Yaohu took everyone to a cave and stayed in the cave.

Seeing how tired Yaohu and Mufeng looked, Yao Xiaoqing quietly gave the milk slices and toffee to Mufeng and Yaohu.

I also gave them compressed biscuits to add to their meals when they were hungry.

The father and son ate quietly, and Mu Feng looked at Yao Xiaoqing and smirked.

Coming out of the cave early the next morning, Yaohu took everyone on a journey through the jungle non-stop, wading across a small stream, over two hills, and down the mountain into a forest of miscellaneous trees.

After walking in the forest for more than an hour, I entered a bamboo forest.

When a group of people were exhausted from walking, it suddenly became clear: a flat river valley appeared in front of everyone.

On both sides of the river bank are continuous mountains, the wide floodplain is full of trees and low shrubs, and the grass near the river is full of colorful wild flowers.

From a distance, the river meanders and flows from north to south. There are wild ducks and water birds flapping their wings and flying out of the grass by the river.The golden retriever saw teals and water birds flying out of the grass, scratched its ears and ran towards the river.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and felt that he had arrived at a paradise.

Yaohu turned his head to look at everyone, with a smile on his tired face, "Here we are, our new residence."

"That's great." Everyone looked at the new residence happily and felt very satisfied.

Shan said to Yaohu: "Chief, this place is really nice. I wonder if there are other tribes nearby?"

Yaohu thought for a while, "I remember a Shenmu tribe living in this area, but I don't know which mountain forest they live in?"

Dashi said on the side: "Shenmu tribe, they exchange salt in Qiushan in winter. I heard people say that they never contact other tribes. Every time they go to Qiushan to exchange a lot of magic medicine and salt, their tribe also has witch guards. .”

After pondering for a moment, Yaohu said: "The Shenmu tribe has always lived in the mountains and forests. This area is not the territory of the Shenmu tribe. We will live here."

Dashi and Shan replied: "Yes, leader."

Yaohu pointed to the big mountain in the east, "Let's go to the top of the mountain first, there is a cave there."

The location of the cave looks far away, and Yao Xiaoqing found many gallnuts, elderberries, and other herbs at the foot of the mountain.Everyone walked for another two hours before reaching the foot of the mountain where Yaohu said there was a cave.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the cave is less than a foot above the ground.Everyone climbed up to the top in a vigorous way, passed through the lush bushes and vines, and heard the sound of the rushing stream, they arrived at the entrance of the cave under the leadership of Yaohu.

With stone knives and axes, everyone hurriedly chopped off the shrubs and vines at the entrance of the cave, and piled them aside.

A rather large platform was exposed, and Yao Xiaoqing estimated that it would be one or two hundred square meters.The cliff at the entrance of the cave seems to have been chopped down, and the cave is about two meters wide.

Yao Xiaoqing thought to himself: It would be great if there was a platform as big as the entrance of the cave.

Follow the sound of the water to the north platform, and see a small ravine flowing more than ten meters away.

Mufeng and Zhupu walked into the cave first, and everyone followed.

The cave is very dry, about [-] square meters, and there is still firewood left over from Yaohu's last burning.

More than a dozen people squeezed into a cave that was only about [-] square meters, it was really crowded.

Everyone put things on the ground and started drilling wood to make fire.

Yao Xiaoqing remembered being bitten by bugs in the cave last night and was itchy all over, and finally fell asleep after applying essential oil.

Thinking that there were many wormwood growing on the slope below when I went up the mountain, I asked Shang Mufeng to go down the slope, cut a bundle of wormwood and returned it to the cave and put it on the firewood pile. The wet wormwood emitted bursts of green smoke.

Yao Xiaoqing put all the wormwood on the fire and called everyone out of the cave. Everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and smelled the fragrance of wormwood coming out of the cave. They saw many insects of different shapes crawling out of the cave. .

Hua looked at the worms in surprise, "So there are so many worms in the cave, why didn't I know it before!"

Shan Amu smiled, "The cave we live in has been inhabited for a long time, YY's skin is tender, and he is often bitten by bugs, have you forgotten?"

Hua smiled, "I didn't know there were so many bugs." After the smoke in the cave cleared, everyone entered the cave.

Pig, Uncle Chong, and Uncle Shui went to the mountain to chop firewood with stone axes, and Yun Amu and Shan Amu buried the remaining two pieces of poria cocos in the fire.

Yao Xiaoqing checked the wounds of Yaohu, Mufeng and Dashi, and found that after running for three consecutive days, their wounds were not torn and inflamed.Thinking that it might be the effect of those elderberry concoctions, or it might be that they have such a good repairing ability due to their strong physique and strong disease resistance.

Take the elderberry to the side of the ditch and wash it clean, cook a new pot, and let the injured drink a bowl.When Zhu and Uncle Shui came back, everyone finished eating the remaining two pieces of poria cocos and big cat meat, and some of them lay down and fell asleep separately.

Yao Xiaoqing secretly took underwear, a flashlight, and towels and soap to the ditch.Using a flashlight, I walked to a low and relatively hidden place.

After scrubbing my body and putting on clean underwear, I felt much more comfortable.After washing the changed underwear, he climbed up with a flashlight.

As soon as he got to the top, he saw Mu Feng standing on the platform looking around, and was startled when he saw the light from the flashlight, "Xiaoqing, where have you been? What is this thing that shines like the sun?"

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "This is called a flashlight. The sun's light is inside, so it can shine. Do you want to see it?"
