Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 5 5 Assault in the Woods
Yao Xiaoqing untied the strap on the dagger sheath, tied it on the outside of her thigh, and walked out with a steel pot and kettle in her hand.I went to the creek and washed the pots, kettles, spoons, bowls, and chopsticks.Seeing that the place was full of wild vegetables, he pulled out some tender green shepherd's purse and washed them clean. He carried the pot with water and called the golden retriever to go back.

When I went back and saw that the rice in the pot had boiled, I thought about taking out the salt bag and tearing open a little salt in the pot. I stirred the pot a few times with a spoon and watched the white rice grains rolling in the pot.

Adding some firewood to the fire beside him, he saw the golden retriever lying a few steps away from the fire, squinting his eyes and falling asleep.

Turning to look at the father and son lying on a thin layer of hay, I thought: there used to be animal skins on the ground to block the moisture, but now there is not even a single fur, sleeping on the ground for a long time, people can bear it No, it seems that we have to find a way to build a few beds.

The aroma of rice porridge fluttered, Xiaoqing stirred a few times, a rice fragrance floated in the cave, and a layer of rice oil porridge was boiled.

Put the wild vegetables into the pot, stir a few times, the pure white is mixed with a little green, it will make people appetite greatly.

He took the pot down, put the kettle on and started to boil water, and took the pot to the corner where Yaohu and Mufeng slept.

Mu Feng, who smelled the fragrance, opened his eyes and looked at her with glowing eyes, "Xiaoqing, it smells so good!"

Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Sweet it! Get up and eat before going to sleep."

"Xiang, the food bestowed by the gods is different." Yaohu and Mufeng sat up with support.

Yao Xiaoqing brought the bowl and spoon over, took a bowl of porridge, put the spoon into the bowl, and gave it to Yaohu, "You eat first, and I'll scoop it up for Ah Da."

After Mufeng served the porridge, Yao Xiaoqing realized that Yaohu didn't know how to use a spoon, so he picked up the wooden spoon in the pot with a smile and made a gesture of drinking porridge: "Look, that's how the spoon is used."

Yaohu scooped up a spoonful of porridge clumsily, and slowly put it into his mouth, a soft and glutinous salty aroma filled his mouth, the smooth rice porridge slid into his throat and then down, a warm feeling came to his heart.

Yaohu looked at Yao Xiaoqing, "Xiaoqing, you are hungry too, you eat too."

"I'm not hungry, I've eaten."

Mu Feng drank a bowl of porridge in two or three mouthfuls, "It's delicious! It's delicious! Xiaoqing, did you go to the Wuxian tribe to exchange for salt?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and shook his head, and added another bowl to him: "There is salt in the bag given by the gods, and I put some in it."

Yaohu patted Mufeng, "You have eaten, my sister hasn't eaten yet."

Mu Feng quickly handed her the bowl, "Sister eat."

"I'm not hungry, you guys eat, I'll go and chop some firewood and come back, there are beasts at night."

Yaohu nodded, "You are in the woods outside, don't go far."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, poured boiling water into the thermos pot, packed up the pots and bowls and hid them in the pit, carrying the thermos pot on his back, carrying the engineering shovel and walking towards the entrance of the cave, and the golden retriever immediately followed.

One person and one monkey walked out of the cave, Yao Xiaoqing turned around and covered the entrance of the cave with vines, and walked towards the forest on the left with the golden retriever.

The golden retriever disappeared without a trace when it entered the forest. Yao Xiaoqing cut down a dead tree, dragged it back to the entrance of the cave, and let it go back to the forest.

Yao Xiaoqing picked up a dozen ash bags in the forest and wrapped them with leaves. This thing has the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and stopping bleeding.

He also found a few sprigs of Prunella vulgaris, and took them to the depths of the forest.

Carefully look at the vines wrapped around the tree, looking for familiar rhizomes.

The green peach-shaped leaves on a vine in front caught Yao Xiaoqing's attention.

"Football." Yao Xiaoqing ran over and carefully shoveled away the soil at the root of the footpad with a shovel. Ten minutes later, a short, fat footpad with two toes thicker than her arms was exposed.

Yao Xiaoqing happily took it out of the soil and weighed it, and it was estimated to weigh two or three catties.

After digging and digging for more than an hour, they dug out more than a dozen stalks, large and small.

Yao Xiaoqing cut some vines and tied them into knots, made a net bag, put the foot plank into it, and put the ashes and Prunella vulgaris in it.

Bury the broken foot planks back.

I found that this kind of thin rattan is very flexible, and I thought about going back to weave a back pocket for easy storage.He cut a large bundle thickly and thinly, cut another bundle of branches and tied them up, carried the net bag on his back and happily dragged the vine branches back.

****
A dark-skinned man with a protruding forehead appeared in the woods by the creek. He looked like a short, stout man who hadn't fully evolved. A pair of sneaky eyes looked around in the woods looking for something.

Hearing the rustling sound, the man saw Yao Xiaoqing who was smiling all over his face from the forest.

He licked his thick lips, showed a wretched smile, and rushed out to stop her.Looking at her wretchedly, "Isn't this our sister Xiaoqing! Your father and Mufeng are okay! Brother Xiaoqing, I will help you beg the leader of the fire fox to take you back to the tribe, as long as you are obedient... "

Seeing his wretched eyes, Yao Xiaoqing felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and immediately remembered that this wretched man was called Dawu, and he was one of Huoli's dogs.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Dawu looked at himself in a daze, thinking that her heart was moved, and rubbed his dirty hands with a lewd smile, "Come on, brother will treat you well and give you food..."

Yao Xiaoqing put down the bag and vine branches in his hand, clenched the shovel tightly, looked at him coldly, and shouted: "Go away."

"Do you think you're still a woman from the leader's family? Your mother and elder brother are all dead." Dawu Jiejie walked towards her with a strange smile, and flung himself on her with outstretched arms.

Yao Xiaoqing dodged to hide behind him, kicked his waist, and he staggered a few steps before steadying himself.

"Woman from Yaohu's family, you are looking for death." Dawu turned around and looked at Yao Xiaoqing with ferocious eyes, and punched Yao Xiaoqing with his fists.

Dawu is indeed a man who has been hunting in the mountains and forests all year round. His strength and movements are quite fast.

Yao Xiaoqing didn't dare to confront him head-on, so he dodged a punch and slashed at him with his engineering shovel tightly. Dawu took Yao Xiaoqing as meat on the board, thinking that she was still the reckless girl she used to be, thinking The shiny black thing in her hand was as powerful as the stone knife.

He didn't even have the idea of ​​dodging for a while, he stretched out his big palm and grabbed Yao Xiaoqing, and slashed his bear paw with the shovel, "Ah... ah..." Dawu let out a miserable scream, and half of his palm fell on the ground. on the ground.

"I'll kill you..." The pain didn't make him retreat, but made him go crazy, shouting and pulling out the stone knife, stabbing Yao Xiaoqing's throat quickly.

Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly raised his head to dodge, the stone knife brushed across Yao Xiaoqing's cheek, leaving a groove of blood.

Dawu missed a hit, raised his knife and stabbed at her again, fast and ruthless.

Yao Xiaoqing raised his engineering shovel and stabbed at him with all his strength, Dawu grabbed the handle of the shovel, with a fervent grin in his eyes, "Good stuff!"

Yao Xiaoqing pulled out the dagger with his left hand, stabbed it hard into his heart, pulled it out forcefully, blood gushed out like a fountain, and Dawu fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Dawu who was lying on the ground bleeding, and put the dagger into the sheath.

Holding the engineer shovel tightly with trembling hands, his lips muttered: "In this world, either he dies or you die."

Yao Xiaoqing held back the fear in her heart, took deep breaths, finally calmed down after ten breaths, looked around, dragged Dawu's body and walked towards the cliff on the left.
