Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 177 177 is back

The next day, when the sky was bright, the people of the Yaoshan tribe got busy.

Dashi led people outside the wooden fence at the platform on the mountain to reinforce a circle of stone walls.

Some took people to the bamboo forest, and some went to the saponins forest at the foot of the mountain. Everyone chopped down a lot of bamboo and saponins and came back.

Mix oyster ash with gravel, spread it on the wall, and insert saponin thorns on it.

Mufeng led people to dig traps at the foot of the mountain and in the woods, and inserted calcined bamboo thorns into them.

Soon the sun rose and hung in the sky like a big ball of fire, roasting the mud like a furnace.

Ah Chun sat on the tree and heard that the cicada was on top of his head, screaming at the top of his voice, looking at the turning point of the mountain road eagerly.

Suddenly, a dirty black boy swaggered towards the tribe.

He stared at him closely for a while, and shouted excitedly, "Boss, Xiaoqing is back."

Yao Xiaoqing waved at him, "Uncle Chun, are you on guard?"

Ah Chun responded loudly: "Hey! Fortunately, Mu Feng told us that you might have turned into a black boy. I almost shot you with an arrow."

Mu Feng ran up panting, and saw her tears almost shed, "Xiaoqing, you are back!"

"When did you get there!" Yao Xiaoqing waved to Ah Chun, and the siblings walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Mu Feng looked at her happily, "We arrived yesterday afternoon, at night..., we should throw them into the river to feed the fish!"

Yao Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "The disaster is imminent, and we will fly separately, drive them out to see how long they can flop. This incident is also a touchstone, and we can also drive those with evil intentions out of the tribe!"

At this time, the people in the tribe gathered around and looked at her cheerfully.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Yaohu with a smile, "Father, I'm back."

"This child, why is it painted like this?" Yaohu stepped forward and rubbed her messy hair.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Can you still recognize me?"

Yaohu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, "If you put another layer on it, Father can recognize it."

"Apply another layer, I'm worried it won't wash off." She laughed, "I have a bad smell all over my body, I have to wash it off."

"Go! Bean has gone to help you with the bath water."

When Yao Xiaoqing came home, Douzi greeted her in shame, her eyes were red, "Qingwu, I..."

She looked at Douzi and raised her hand, "I see, it's not your fault, just do your own thing."

Douzi nodded, "Yes, Green Witch."

"You go and do your work, I can do it myself here." Yao Xiaoqing said, went into the house to put away the water bag, and went to the bathroom with a change of clothes.

She hadn't washed for a few days, and she felt so sticky and uncomfortable, and she also had a sour smell.

Yao Xiaoqing washed it several times before she felt comfortable. She changed her underwear, washed her underwear, scrubbed her thin leather underwear, and took them to the sun upstairs.

Carrying the bamboo basket, Yun'am walked into the yard, "Xiaoqing, have you finished washing? I made some food, you can eat first."

"After washing, come down to eat." Yao Xiaoqing came down from the stairs and looked at her with a smile, "Em, what delicious food did you cook?"

Yun Amu brought the food to the table and looked at her with a smile, "Bean porridge, sour bamboo shoots, fried wild vegetables, fill your stomach first, wait for night food, and then cook something delicious for you."

"These are good things. I'm almost turning into bacon jerky."

Yao Xiaoqing took a sip of porridge, lukewarm was just right, the sour bamboo shoots appetized, wild vegetables cleared the mouth, a bowl of porridge was eaten quickly.

Yun Amu tidied up the house and said, "Is it enough? If not, I'll go to Duandian."

"Enough!" Yao Xiaoqing looked at her, "Did everyone collect a lot of fruit these days? Is there enough water in the valley?"

Yun Amu shook his head, "There are not many fruits, but there is enough water, and the millet in the field is growing well."

"That's good. The water in many ditches outside has dried up, so I'm worried that we'll run out of water here too."

"Also, two children have been added to the tribe, both boys." Yun'am said cheerfully.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Whose family is it?"

"Xiongniu's family and Heiyun's family, in a few days, Asu will give birth in these two days."

"It's a good thing that there are more and more children in the tribe. Make more pig's knuckle soup for confinement women."

Yun Amu looked at her puzzled, "What is confinement?"

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while, "Confinement is a woman who just gave birth. She has to rest for a while, eat better to nourish her body, so that she will not get sick easily!"

"Oh!" Yun'am understood, "Got it, I'll stew pig's feet for them when I get back."

"You go first! I'll go to the warehouse to have a look."

Yao Xiaoqing went to the warehouse, looked at the wooden arrows placed inside, turned around and saw a few spears standing in the corner, the spearheads were shining with cold light, it seemed that they had already begun to forge iron spearheads.

She felt that the black bears should have found out that the weapons they used were strange, and they would definitely send people to fight beforehand before attacking aggressively.

But for a big tribe like Black Bear, it would not be as simple as a dozen or twenty people to send people to inquire about the news.The most important thing right now is to quickly dig the trap, so that the people who come to investigate will never return, and the black bear will send people in a hurry.

Yao Xiaoqing closed the warehouse door, walked outside the tribe, and found that the people in the tribe were so busy that they were about to fly.

Yaohu stood on the top of the wall and stopped her, "Xiaoqing, go and get two pumpkins, call Mufeng together, and go to the upstream tribe, thank them for helping you."

Yao Xiaoqing frowned, "Everyone is busy, let's go later!"

Yaohu waved his hand, "Go! He is kind enough to help us, and he will be back before dark, so there won't be much delay." He felt that the people in the upper reaches could take the risk of helping them for such a small matter, which was much better than the jackals and mountain rats. up.

Yao Xiaoqing had no choice but to nod, "Okay!"

She went back and picked two pumpkins, put them into a basket, carried them to the foot of the mountain, and asked Wooden Wind to go upstream together.

The two walked on the silted sand by the river, and waves of hot air came over the surface.In the dry puddles, there are many dried fish and shrimp.

"Xiaoqing, the water in the river seems to be getting shallower and shallower."

Yao Xiaoqing frowned, looking at the narrowing river, "Don't even think about how many days it hasn't rained."

"Yeah! It hasn't rained for a long time!"

When the two walked to a wide river valley, they saw a row of thatched shacks.In the open space in front of the grass shed, there were four women picking the collected food, and a dozen men were tanning the animal hides.

Yao Xiaoqing took a look, maybe because of the dry weather, their thatched shed was built very close to the river.It is convenient to fetch water. If the water rises, [-]% will be washed away.

The two walked towards the thatched hut, and the people in front of the hut looked at them vigilantly, gesticulating and shouting.

　Thank you for your encouragement and support!Thanks!
