Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 163 163 Consumption

When we went down the mountain, we found a water hole. We stopped, unloaded the things carried by the cattle, fed the cattle with forage and rested for a while.

I fetched some water from the puddle, boiled the water, and cooked a pot of millet porridge.Several people sat on the ground, eating salted eggs and jerky, and continued on their way after eating and drinking.

In the afternoon, after passing the Antelope Tribe, there is the back mountain forest of the Yaoshan Tribe in front, everyone be careful.

"Everyone stop for a moment," Leopard shouted.

Everyone stopped and looked at him, "I think Huowu and the others might be waiting for us at the corner of the back hill."

Dashi nodded, "Yes, there are tall trees and dense forests, and there are hills on both sides."

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "We can't go all at once and divide it into several groups."

Dashi nodded, and handed the ox rope to Muba, "Da Yang, Mufeng, wolf, you hold the ox rope later and walk behind us at a certain distance, so as not to scare the ox and run away. "

The three responded: "Okay."

Soon they arrived at the back mountain. Dashi and Leopard held the bow in one hand and the handle of the knife in the other, followed by Yao Xiaoqing and Quan with a cautious face.

Mu Feng, Lang, and Dayang, holding the ox rope, were about ten meters away from several people, and they all walked forward at a leisurely pace.

"Whoo, whoosh, whoosh" more than a dozen stone spears fell from the sky and shot down at several people.

"Hide quickly!" Yao Xiaoqing yelled, raised his machete to knock down the stone spear, dodged behind a tree, and checked the direction of the stone spear.

Suddenly, a dozen or so men with stone knives, axes, and spears rushed out of the woods and ran towards them.

Mufeng, Lang and Dayang led the cattle back to the woods behind.

The three of them tied the ox rope to the tree, and Mu Feng looked at the wolf and said, "Wolf, Dayang, I will leave the ox and food to you."

The two nodded, "Understood."

Several people dodged and hid behind the tree, and waited until those people rushed over before raising their knives to meet them.

Yao Xiaoqing raised the knife in one hand to block the incoming stone axe, drew out the dagger in the other hand, and stabbed the man in the heart.Dodging to avoid the spear stabbed by a man, he swung the knife and chopped off the spear, leaned forward, and cut the man's throat with a backhand.

After seeing the fire raccoon on the tree, they picked up the stone spear and threw it at Yao Xiaoqing. Yao Xiaoqing swung the knife and knocked down the stone spear. A piece of flesh was wiped off his arm.
A stone spear was knocked down by the rushing wooden wind, and the two of them dodged and hid behind the tree.

Mu Feng asked: "Xiaoqing, are you injured?"

Yao Xiaoqing, "No, why did you come here?"

Stone spears and stones kept falling from the tree.

Dashi hacked one to death with a single knife, then cut off the man's ax handle in a flash, pointed the knife at him and shouted: "Liu, we are all from the Yaoshan tribe, do you want to help Huoli kill his own people?"

Liu sneered: "You were the ones who betrayed the tribe first."

Dashi didn't say much anymore, he slashed his head and neck with a knife, and Liu fell to the ground clutching his neck.

Leopard and Quan dealt with the few people facing them, and the stone spears on the tree were thrown down continuously "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh".

Like monkeys, the two quickly climbed up the tree.

Leopard looked at the person hiding in the opposite tree, took down an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and shot it at the tree fork.

"Ah!" After the scream, there was a sound of gnashing of teeth and cursing from the tree, "Dashi, Leopard, Quan, you wolf cubs, if I don't kill you here today, I will not be human."

Listening to the direction of the sound, Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng climbed up the tree with bows and arrows on their backs.

"Fire Fox," Dashi yelled loudly from behind the tree, "You son of a bitch, come down if you can. Let's fight. What's the point of hiding in a tree?"

Huo Li scolded back: "You wolf cubs who betrayed the tribe, you will die badly."

Ah Tu looked at the arrow on his shoulder, his face turned pale with pain, "Boss, our people have been killed by them, what should we do?"

"What are you afraid of?" Fire Fox looked down at the tree, "If we stay here, he won't be able to go to Qiushan Daji, and he won't be able to trade for salt."

Yao Xiaoqing took down an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and shot in the direction of the sound.

The leopard also shot an arrow at the tree.

"Ah~ah~" There was a scream, and a person fell from the tree, hit the ground with a "bang", twitched a few times, and then became silent.

The fire raccoon and the black badger looked shockingly on the tree, and they didn't dare to play tricks to be brave again.

Yao Xiaoqing took out the stone and hit it in the direction of the sound. There was a cry of pain in the bushes. Muba and Leopard shot with arrows, and two more were shot down by random arrows.

Huo Fu was also shot in the shoulder by an arrow.

Then there was no movement, and Dashi cursed at the tree: "Huoli, you bastard, the Yaoshan tribe here has been destroyed in your hands. Look at those who followed you all day long and did nothing. He's dead. Now it's just you, Black Badger, Atu, and Black Fox, what do you guys eat?"

Huo Li was so angry that the corners of his mouth kept twitching, his jaws chattered, and angrily picked up the stone spear and threw it at the boulder, "Go to hell!"

Dashi hid behind the tree and sneered: "You coward, you can't hit him even if you hide in the tree, come down if you have the ability!"

The black badger looked at the furious fire fox, and persuaded: "Boss, it's getting dark, we are not afraid of wild animals in the trees, and they will be in trouble when it gets dark below."

Fire Fox gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, let's spend time with them like this."

Dashi leaned against the big tree, "Fire raccoon, bastard, coward, only dare to hide in the tree..."

No matter how provocative Dashi was, Huoli kept telling himself: I can't hear you!Can't hear it!
But that voice was like a cicada in the woods, cicada, cicada...

Black Badger looked nervously at the twitching muscles on Huo Fu's cheek, knowing that he had reached the verge of rage.

Hastily cut two pieces of animal skin with a stone knife, rolled it up, and handed it to Huo Li, "Boss, plug your ears so you can't hear."

Fire Fox took a look at him, took the animal skin, and stuffed it into his ears, blocking out the sound of the boulder croaking.

Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng looked at the sky through the treetops, and it would be dark soon, so they had to find a place and settle down quickly.

Mu Feng gestured to Leopard, and the two got down from the tree and retreated to the hiding place of Wolf and Dayang.

Looking at the anxious expressions of the two, Leopard said with relief, "It's okay, there are only a few people left on the side of the fire fox. They hid in the big trees on both sides of the pass and threw stone spears at us."

"The trouble is that they don't know how many stone spears they hid in the trees. It's getting dark soon, so we have to find a shelter from the wind."

Wolf and Dayang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."

The four led the ox, found a shelter from the wind in the woods, unloaded the bamboo basket, tied the ox, and started chopping firewood.

Mufeng picked up the bow drill from the back basket, stepped on a piece of wood, and turned it quickly, and the fire was quickly lit.

Dayang took out the kettle, poured the water into the pot, grabbed a few handfuls of millet and started cooking porridge.
