Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 16 16 Bamboo Bow Wood Arrow
Looking at the flashlight in her hand, Mu Feng felt a little afraid to stretch out his hand, shook his head and said, "No, Father said it was something given to you by the gods, you have to put it away."

"Understood." Yao Xiaoqing turned off the flashlight and followed Mu Feng back to the cave, and put the flashlight back into the bag.

He took out an oiled paper bag and packed the underwear in the bag, planning to dry them after dawn.

Just when I was about to lie down, I realized that the golden retriever hadn't returned to the cave, so I hurriedly searched outside the cave with a flashlight.

When Mu Feng saw her going out, he followed her outside the cave, and when he learned that she was looking for the golden retriever, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Xiaoqing, don't worry, the golden retriever has gone to play, and it will be back in the morning."

"Really?" Yao Xiaoqing looked at Mu Feng.

Mu Feng nodded, "You believe in Brother, it will come back when it is happy. Let's go! Go back to sleep."

Yao Xiaoqing had no choice but to follow Mufeng back to the cave to lie down, and slowly fell asleep amidst everyone's tired snoring and various body odors.

Woke up in the middle of the night and found that the golden retriever still hadn’t come back. Yao Xiaoqing was worried: the golden retriever is a monkey, and monkeys like to eat fruit. It has eaten a few ham sausages in the past two days. Now that the ham sausage is finished, it may be I went to the woods to find fruit to eat.

Dazedly waiting for dawn, Yao Xiaoqing turned over and got up, packed the sleeping bag and put it in the bag, tied up his hair and tied it with a ball head, and went down the mountain with the engineer shovel to find the golden retriever by the river.

I found a wooden stick and tapped the grass in the forest, and walked for more than an hour before passing through the forest, through a piece of waist-deep weeds and small shrubs, to the river, and frightened a group of wild ducks and water birds resting by the river.

Yao Xiaoqing yelled at Jin Mao loudly, but he couldn't see Jin Mao's shadow even though his throat was broken.Standing by the small river a little lost, looking at the wild ducks swimming up and down the river, thinking that the food this morning has not been found yet, thinking that the golden retriever should come back after going for a stroll.

Touch your deflated stomach, the most important thing is to fill your stomach.There are so many wild ducks living by the river, there must be wild duck eggs laid in the grass, so Yao Xiaoqing went back to dig through the grass to find them.

I was so lucky, I saw a nest of gray-green and white wild duck eggs in the grass as soon as I scraped open a waist-deep weed. I counted them excitedly: there were seven, and I found two more nests not far ahead.

He happily cut some weeds with a shovel, kneaded a few grass ropes to form a net bag, and picked up wild duck eggs and put them in the bag.

Several nests were copied one after another, and more than 30 wild duck eggs and a few waterfowl eggs were picked up.Yao Xiaoqing walked back excitedly with a net bag in his hand, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Mu Feng walking down the mountain with a wooden spear.

Seeing her, he walked up to her in two or three steps, "Xiaoqing, where have you been? Father is looking for you, we are going to hunt."

Yao Xiaoqing handed the net bag in front of him, "I went looking for the golden retriever but didn't find it, but I found a lot of wild duck eggs."

Mu Feng took the straw basket in surprise, "Wow! There are so many wild duck eggs, enough for one meal."

Yao Xiaoqing also nodded happily, "I'll take a basket and go to the river to pick up duck eggs when I come back. It would be great if I could catch a few wild ducks."

Mu Feng walked ahead carrying wild duck eggs, "That thing can fly, so it's not easy to catch."

Only then did Yao Xiaoqing realize that without bows and arrows, stone knives, stone axes, and wooden spears could not catch wild animals with wings that could fly.

Looking at those shrubs, I thought that when I participated in outdoor activities in my previous life, I learned how to make bows and slingshots with the outdoor experts of the Sanda team.

After becoming the village head, I heard that an ancient village resort was built in a mountain city in a neighboring province, which attracted many tourists, so I went to visit it.I also borrowed books in this area and studied them carefully.The ancient village tourism has not yet started, but I have really become an ancient person, and I am still very ancient.

Yao Xiaoqing said to Mu Feng who was waiting in front: "Mu Feng, you go back to the cave first, I'll go down and chop two bamboos up."

Mu Feng replied loudly: "Come back quickly."

Yao Xiaoqing waved at him and walked towards the place where bamboo grew.

Cut a few bamboos suitable for making bows and a bamboo for drying things.Looking back at those thick moso bamboos, I thought that it would be best to cut them back to make water glasses and tableware.

Look at my slender arms and legs now, but I can't drag so many things back, so I can only go back and ask Mu Feng to chop.

On the way back, I cut a bundle of small shrubs about eight or nine inches thick, dragged a bundle of rattan back to the cave, and put the bamboo and shrubs at the entrance of the cave.

Yaohu came out of the cave, gave her two wild duck eggs, and said with a smile, "You're hungry!"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Father, wait for me to wash your hands."

Yaohu watched her walking towards the ravine, thinking: After that child came back from that time, he had to wash his hands every time he ate, and his face was also washed clean, so he looked much better than before!
Yao Xiaoqing came back after washing his hands and took the duck eggs, looked at Yaohu, "Father, did Mu Feng and the others go hunting?"

Yaohu nodded, "There is no more food, I let Mufeng, Zhu, and Xiongniu go hunting."

Yao Xiaoqing peeled the eggshell, "Shan'am and Uncle Shui are not in the cave either, what are they doing?"

Yaohu pointed at the foot of the mountain, "Aunt Shan brought some millet and bean seeds. Uncle Shui and Uncle Chong went down the mountain to dig the ground. Amu Shan, Hua and Amu Yun went to pick up wild duck eggs."

Yao Xiaoqing didn't expect that Shan'am also brought millet and bean seeds, looked at Yaohu and said with a smile: "Okay! When we come back from finding some seeds, we can open the land to grow food."

"En!" Yaohu looked at his daughter lovingly, "Xiaoqing, what are you going to do? Father will help you."

"You won't," Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, and said to Yaohu: "Father, when you feel better, can you help me dig a wooden barrel and a basin?"

Yaohu looked at her puzzled, "What are barrels and basins?"

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, and drew a wooden basin and barrel on the ground with branches, "It's like this, just like making a wooden bowl, but it's much bigger."

After watching it, Yaohu immediately understood, "Oh! You need big trees to make barrels and pots."

Shan and Dashi came over from the entrance of the cave, "Boss, we can't hunt. It's okay to cut down big trees. Let's cut wood for Xiaoqing to dig barrels and pots."

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head and said: "Cutting down big trees is not an ordinary job. Your injuries are still not healed, and you will be in trouble if something happens."

Shan laughed, "We are warriors, so we are not afraid of such injuries."

Yaohu also nodded with a smile, "Xiaoqing, give your ax to Father."

Yao Xiaoqing saw that they had already made up their minds, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll teach you how to use an axe."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of bamboo, looked at it, and cut off a piece of bamboo with the sawtooth surface according to the size required for making a bow. After demonstrating it to them, he asked Yaohu to try sawing a section of bamboo, and found that Yaohu sawed bamboo. The movements are more agile than hers.
