Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 170 Chapter 170
Yao Xiaoqing stepped lightly, walked around to a larger tree, looked at the gray bark, and the purple-red fruit on the tree, and determined that these trees were blood-sealed throats.

She took off the bamboo tube and the machete, cut the edge of the bamboo tube into a knife-edge shape, cut a hole in the trunk, and carefully placed the bamboo tube under the knife-edge, watching the milky white juice flow into the bamboo tube.

After more than a dozen breaths, the sap flowed out less. She cut the tree a few times in succession, and the milky white sap flowed into the bamboo tube more and faster, until the bamboo tube was almost full before closing the lid.

Seeing the fruits hanging from the branches, Yao Xiaoqing cut a bunch and put them in the bag.

After looking around, I pulled some weeds with red and green leaves, and put them in.Quickly walked to the trail and followed a few people.

After walking for another half an hour, Chong pointed to the cave in front, "Qing Wu, the water pool is inside. We have been pumping water for a few days, and there is not much water in it."

Mu Feng said: "With the pool, you won't be afraid of drought."

Several people followed Chong into the cave, which was a little deep, and there was a bonfire inside.After walking for a while, I saw a dark pool of water. Yao Xiaoqing walked closer and looked at it, but he couldn't figure out where the water came from.

She squatted by the pool, scooped up some water with a wooden ladle, and washed her hands. The water was icy cold, as if emerging from the ground.

"Let's go! Let's go down the mountain!"

Chong glanced at her, "Qingwu, is there a way to draw the water down?"

"Let me think about it." Yao Xiaoqing said and walked out.

The speed of going down the mountain was much faster. When we reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was already dark.

Yao Xiaoqing stopped, pointed to the location of the cave, and said to Chong: "I thought of a way, you can cut bamboo to break through the bamboo joints, connect them one by one, and lead the water down the mountain."

Looking at the cave in the middle of the mountain, Chong looked worried, "It's so high, how many bamboo tubes will it take to pull it down? How can the bamboo tubes be connected?"

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head, "You guys discuss it, as long as you do it, there will always be a way."

Mu Feng looked at the sky, "Xiaoqing, it's getting dark, let's go!"

Only then did Chong realize that it was getting dark, "Qing Wu, when are you going to leave?"

Yao Xiaoqing spread his hands and said, "It's too late to leave now, and running away is not an option."

Chong looked around and said in a low voice: "Yan Yu and I sent our two men to the forest at the foot of the mountain, and they are waiting for you there."

The three of them looked at him in surprise after hearing this, they didn't expect them to help them so wholeheartedly.

Yao Xiaoqing bowed to him and said: "Chong, please tell Yan Yu, thank you for your kindness, call your people back! We are not going to leave tonight."

They drove for several days in a row, and spent the night with Huoli at the pass last night. Everyone was sleepy and tired. She planned to have a good night's rest, get enough energy to prepare for the battle, and didn't plan to run away in a panic.

Chong did not expect that she would refuse their help, so he glanced at her in surprise, and said sincerely: "Qing Wu, we are sincerely helping you!"

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while and looked at him, "If there are wooden arrows, it would be a great help for us to exchange some for us." She knew that they really wanted to help them, but those were human lives, and she couldn't afford them. .

Chong nodded without hesitation, "Green Witch, you saved my life. I thank you for the wooden arrow. I'll send it to you when I go back."

Yao Xiaoqing bowed to him again, "Thank you! If you have the opportunity to play in the Yaoshan tribe, I will treat you well!"

Chong smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely go, I still want to eat the fish soup you made, Amu in the tribe can't make that taste!" Seeing that Yao Xiaoqing doesn't use Yanyu, he is also willing to help her, I don't want to watch her being killed by a black bear.

Chong sent the three of them to the place where the stall was set up. Seeing that the water and firewood were all in place, he said goodbye and left.

He returned to the tribe and told Da Ma and Da Wu what Yao Xiaoqing had said.

Both of them frowned after hearing this, "I think she was just talking nonsense, the cave is so high, how can the bamboo poles be connected?"

Chong looked at the two of them, "I heard from Yan Yu that the water in the bathrooms of the Yaoshan tribe is drawn in through bamboo pipes."

After hearing this, Da Ma thought for a while, "After that woman leaves, let Yan Yu go chop bamboo with you."

"Yes!" Chong Ying stepped back and stepped back.

Yao Xiaoqing saw that Dashi had cooked corn and pumpkin porridge, and all the pumpkins in the bamboo basket were gone, and it was full of dried meat.

She took off the bamboo tube, carefully placed it next to a big stone, and went to wash her hands.

Leopard scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to her, "Xiaoqing, those pumpkins have been replaced."

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Okay! Save us from dragging around."

Seeing that she was not panicked at all, everyone felt at ease and smiled.

"As soon as you left, those people came with dried meat, and some people wanted to exchange those cattle with us." Dashi said, pointing to the cattle.

Yao Xiaoqing wrinkled her nose, "It's beautiful, we managed to raise them so big, and they are also a member of the Yaoshan tribe, so I am reluctant to give them to others."

Mu Feng nodded, "Yes, no matter how many things you give, we won't change them."

After eating food, several people sat around together, Dashi asked in a low voice: "Xiaoqing, shall we go tonight?"

"Don't go, the black bear is definitely waiting for us at the foot of the mountain with people." Yao Xiaoqing looked at the few people confidently, "We have to get a good sleep and get enough energy to fight them."

Dashi looked at her worriedly, "Xiaoqing, you and Mufeng go first!"

Mu Feng shook his head resolutely, "I won't go, if I want to go, Xiaoqing will go."

"Let's go together, I have something to say after eating the food."

After Yao Xiaoqing finished speaking, he picked up a salted duck egg, peeled off the eggshell, put it into the porridge, and ate it.

Dashi and the others had no choice but to follow her to pick up the bowl and start eating.

Just as they finished eating, they heard someone approaching.

Yao Xiaoqing turned her head and saw three men walking over with several bundles of hay.

One said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Qing Wu, Chong asked us to bring you hay."

She pointed to the bamboo basket, "Thank you, please put it in the bamboo basket."

Several people put down the hay, and one of them said to Yao Xiaoqing in a low voice: "The black bears are hiding in the pine forest at the foot of the hill, I ask you to be careful."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Understood, thank Chong for me!"

The three smiled and turned to leave.

Mu Feng went up to cut the grass rope, saw a bundle of wormwood on it, and pulled it to reveal the wooden arrow hidden inside.

"Xiaoqing, they even brought wormwood."

"Light it up, so that the mosquitoes don't stop buzzing!"

Yao Xiaoqing took out one, and saw that the arrowhead was a stone arrowhead, but there was no arrow feather.

Dashi looked at the wooden arrow, "Xiaoqing, they didn't stick arrow feathers."

"It's okay, I found a good thing, and I promise that the black bears will never come back!" Yao Xiaoqing went to pick up the bamboo tube, went back and sat in front of the fire.
