Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 28 28 Rainy Day
Wild garlic is found, and onion and ginger will be there too!Yao Xiaoqing happily hummed Popeye eating spinach, it was like discovering a peerless treasure!It's really a treasure. In this era, jade, agate, and real gold and silver are not as valuable as food.

When going down the mountain, I found another piece of sweet potato on the slope.This thing is also a good thing, the young leaves can be eaten, and it is a good thing to make a broom when it grows up.

Yao Xiaoqing thought to herself: Why didn't I see it just now!He hurriedly asked the two to uproot it and take it back to plant.

The three of them went down the mountain with a basket on their backs and a vegetable basket. Yao Xiaoqing saw Yaohu just crawling out of the cesspit with a big stone.

When I got closer, I found that the cesspit had been dug, and the inside was full of potholes.

Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly stopped Yaohu and Dashi, pointed to the cesspit and said to them, "Father, use a shovel to tamp down the cesspit, otherwise it will collapse."

"How to compact it?" Yaohu thought for a while, "Is it like driving wooden piles?"

Yao Xiaoqing gave him a thumbs up, "Yes, it's like driving a stake."

Dashi smiled at the side: "Xiaoqing has so many ideas, she has to dig a hole for her papa."

Yaohu patted him with a smile, "I told you, Baba is fertilizer, and it raises millet and beans."

"Yes, leader." Dashi laughed and jumped off the cesspit, beating him with a wooden shovel.

When the three of them returned home, Yao Xiaoqing asked Yun Amu and Shan Amu to thread the mushrooms on vines to dry.She planted honeysuckle under the wooden fence.

Go into the cave and cut off the wild leeks and wild garlic leaves, leaving a few wild garlic heads, and prepare to get two fish to eat later.

I took the roots of wild leeks and wild garlic and broom grass to the vegetable field.Planted broom grass on the edge of the vegetable field, and planted wild leeks and wild garlic on the remaining field.

Back in the yard, I tore off some rattan bark and started weaving a fishing net, ready to catch fish.The rattan bark is twisted into a thin rope, and a large net bag is woven by knotting and fastening.

I found a bamboo pole and bent it, tied it into a ring with a rope, wrapped the net bag tightly around the circle with the rope, and tied a bent bamboo pole as a handle, and carried it excitedly. Out of the cave.

When I came out, I found that the sun had shrunk into the clouds at some point, and the sky above was gloomy, more gloomy than anyone who owed him two to five or eight thousand yuan.

Yao Xiaoqing saw that the top of the mountain on the opposite side was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like it was going to rain.

I hurriedly put the mushrooms that Shan'am and the others had hung on the wall into the bamboo shed. Just as I found a few bamboo poles to hang them up, sparse raindrops fell, rustling on the thatched roof.

Everyone at the foot of the mountain went back to the yard, Yao Xiaoqing took a look and asked, "Father, Ah Mu and the others didn't come back with you?"

Yaohu looked at Shan, "Shan, go find your mother and the others."

Shan said: "They went to the river to pick up wild duck eggs, and they are already heading back now."

After a while, Amu Shan and Amu Yun came back with their baskets on their backs, followed by Huahua with Yaya on their backs.

The two carried half a basket of wild vegetables in their back baskets, on which were more than 20 wild duck eggs and more than a dozen waterfowl eggs.

Yao Xiaoqing found that the number of wild duck eggs picked up was getting smaller and smaller. Presumably those wild ducks found that the eggs were stolen and began to transfer to the other side of the river to lay eggs.

Can't go out to do things on rainy days, everyone sits in the cave, Yaohu and Dashi make weapons.

Yao Xiaoqing began to teach Uncle Shui and the others to weave sieves, dustpans, dustpans and dustpans out of vines and bamboo strips.

Yao Xiaoqing saw Yaohu and Yun Amu looking up from time to time outside the cave, their eyes full of worry.

Looking at the rain that was falling harder and harder outside, he knew that he was worried about Mufeng, Zhu and Xiongniu who were hunting in the mountains.

It rained from noon to afternoon, and then gradually stopped.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Mu Feng and the others hadn't come back yet.

Yaohu became more and more worried about Mufeng's safety, and he couldn't sit still any longer.Standing up, he carried the quiver woven with vines, picked up the bow and stone spear, and said to the boulder and the mountain: "Let's meet Mu Feng and the others."

Dashi and Shan nodded, "Yes."

Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly handed the engineer shovel to Yaohu, "Father, take my axe."

Yaohu nodded, put down the stone spear, took the engineer shovel, took the mountain and boulder out of the cave under everyone's worried eyes, opened the courtyard door and went out.

Mu Feng carried a pannier on his back, carrying a male muntjac.The pig and the bull were respectively carrying a goat, and the three of them were on their way through the rain in the mountains and forests.

The rainwater flowed down the branches, and several people were drenched, and the leather shoes were filled with water and rot and mud in the forest.

Mu Fenghure heard the sound of rain, which seemed to be mixed with the voice of people talking, and quickly grabbed the pig and Xiong Niu to hide behind a big tree.

The three of them hid behind the tree and listened carefully.Mu Feng found that it was really a voice.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and a man's loud voice could be heard.

"Lu, was it near here that time you met those people from the outer tribes?"

The man named Deer replied: "Yes, we followed them for a while, they may have found us, and we couldn't find it when we got into the woods. We will tell the leader about it when we go back."

The man with a hoarse voice said, "It's possible that the savages have come here."

The loud voice sounded again, "Don't worry about the savages. There are fewer and fewer wild animals on the other side of the hills. I'm afraid that other tribes have migrated here. The leader has asked people to look around to see if they are coming. A new tribe?"

When the voices and footsteps got farther and farther away, the three came out from behind the big tree where they were hiding, and walked out of the forest without saying a word.

When we reached a low bush, the rain gradually stopped.

The sky was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to get dark.

Xiong Niu glanced at Mu Feng beside him, "Let's go faster, luckily there won't be any beasts when it rains, I'm afraid that when the rain stops, wild animals will appear."

Mu Feng raised his head and looked in the direction where he lived, "We can already see the top of the mountain where we live. Uncle, I heard their footsteps just now, and there may be five or six people hunting together."

He said from the side: "I heard it too, from their tone, they don't welcome outside tribes, right Uncle?"

The bull's voice was a little low, "Of course they don't want anyone to snatch their prey. We are few in number, so follow the leader's advice and be careful. Let's go faster and talk about it when we go back!"

"Okay." The two responded loudly, wiped the rainwater off their faces, and walked out of the bush at a faster pace.

As soon as he turned the pass, the pig who was walking in front saw the leader holding an axe, followed by boulders and mountains.

He grinned happily, "Boss, Uncle Dashi, Uncle Shan, you are here to pick us up!"

Yaohu smiled and nodded, looking at the prey carried by the three, "Today's harvest is not bad." He said and took the wild goat carried by the pig.

Mu Feng took two quick steps, walked up to Yaohu with a smile, "Father, you are here!"

Yaohu glanced at him reproachfully, "Hurry up, it's getting dark."

Dashi and Shan took over the prey carried by Mu Feng and Xiong Niu, and smiled happily: "Haha! Today's harvest is good!"

Mu Feng nodded and said, "Yes! If it doesn't rain, we can hunt a few more goats."

After the joy, the three of them thought about the Shenmu tribe, and their hearts were heavy.
