Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 54 Chapter 55

Wu waited for the two to leave, went to the lion's cave, and told him the news that the cow had been brought back.

The lion looked at him furiously, "How dare he threaten us, I will take people to kill them!"

"If you want to kill them, wait until you find a way to deal with the flying spears. Someone tell Yaohu that next spring, we will wait for the revenge of the Shenmu tribe."

Wu looked at the lion and sneered in his heart: he is such a bull, he thought he was a lion!

As soon as the sky was white, Yao Xiaoqing went to the mountain to exercise. He ran to the top of the mountain and watched a layer of mist pass through the gaps in the forest. From a distance, the forest by the river was like a fairyland.

The people from the Yaoshan tribe also got up. It was a safe night, and the traps in the forest were still intact. It seemed that no one from the Shenmu tribe had visited.

Everyone relaxed their minds a little, gathered around the pool for a rare occasion, washing their faces and combing their hair.Yaohu took the opportunity to tell other unsuspecting clansmen the location of the trap, so that no one would fall into the trap by mistake.After everyone agreed, they waited for a few old ladies to help them tidy up the chicken coop.

Shan and Dashi went to check the trap by the river.Shan Amu took the flowers and taro, fished out the kudzu root powder that had undergone the last sedimentation from the wooden barrel, broke it up and dried it in the dustpan.

Aunt Yun took Ah Su to make breakfast.Yaohu was teaching Muba and Spear how to practice archery, while Yaya and Jinmao were sitting on bamboo stools playing with clay figurines.

When Shanhe Dashi carried a big wild boar up from the bottom of the mountain, everyone happily surrounded it and applauded in unison, thinking it was a good omen.

When Yao Xiaoqing came down from the mountain, he saw neatly dressed men looking around the wild boar, and said with a smile, "Okay! We just use this wild boar to worship the gods."

I don't know when the gorgeous morning glow dyed half of the sky red, Yao Xiaoqing washed up and began to preside over the oath ceremony.

The stone slab was placed in the center of the yard, the wild boar was placed on it, and the wild ducks and waterfowl were placed beside it.Yao Xiaoqing looked at the three sacrificial objects, which were big, big, and small, and remembered the three animals used for sacrifices on TV in her previous life. .

Yao Xiaoqing took out the paper torn from his notebook and asked Yaohu and Muba to kill one live duck and one waterfowl in the basket, put the blood in an earthen pottery basin, and dipped a crushed willow stick in the blood to write: the content of the oath.

Yao Xiaoqing made the people of the Yaoshan tribe and the Sishan tribe kneel on one knee in front of the three sacrificial animals.

He handed the blood in the basin to Yaohu and Muba who were kneeling in front of him to drink, and handed them the paper with the oath written in blood, and asked them to read it after her.

Yaohu and Muba held the thin paper, looked at the bright red blood characters on it, and followed Yao Xiaoqing to finish reading with solemn expressions, and everyone followed suit.

Yao Xiaoqing asked the two to put the oath into the mineral water bottle she kept, cover the lid and let them bury it in the soil, and the ceremony was over.

When Muba came back from the mountain, he led the people of the Sishan tribe to bow their heads to Yaohu and Yao Xiaoqing. Yaohu smiled and said, "We are all brothers and sisters of the Yaoshan tribe."

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes, leader."

After Yun Amu and the others brought the food to the stone slab and ate it, A Chong who was guarding the mountain still did not warn.

Seeing the sun getting higher and higher and the weather so good, Yaohu felt that he couldn't just do nothing and stay on the mountain and wait for the people from the Shenmu tribe to come.

He began to arrange people to go down the mountain to work: Mu Feng and Zhu went to get back those kudzu roots, taro, and yams, and Shan Amu and the others went to the river to gather and pick up duck eggs.

The boulder and the spear stayed on the tree to watch.Others went to the river to collect stones, sift gravel, and wash shells.After the arrangements were made, everyone took their positions and went down the mountain with the stuff.

Yao Xiaoqing said to Yun Amu and the others: "Amu, this time you will follow Mufeng and Zhu to the river to the north to collect. Be careful on the way."

Shan Amu nodded with a smile, "Understood!"

After they left, Yao Xiaoqing looked at the big wild boar, and thought that now that there was salt, he made some bacon to smoke the bacon before it was too hot.She said to Ah Shui: "Uncle Shui, don't roast the wild boar this time. After peeling it off, cut it into long strips and wait for me to come back and marinate."

"Hey! Xiaoqing is going to make new food again." Ah Shui happily agreed.

Not long after Yaohu led his people to the river, he saw two people from the Shenmu tribe coming from the river.

Xiong Niu looked at the two of them, "Boss, why are there only two of them here?"

"Maybe they came to make a war agreement." Muba said.

After they got there, they looked at the people working by the river and said loudly, "Which one of you is from the Yaoshan tribe?"

Xiong Niu took a step forward, glared at the two of them and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

The two froze for a moment, then said loudly: "Our leader told you to wait for the revenge of the Shenmu tribe when the next spring comes."

"Tell your leaders that the Yaoshan tribe will fight at any time." Yaohu replied in a deep voice.

When the two walked away, Xiongniu looked at Yaohu and said, "Boss, why do they have to wait until next spring?"

"They came here because they wanted to find weapons that could restrain bows and arrows." Yaohu's confidence was boosted by the retreat of the Shenmu tribe, and he looked at the few people and said loudly: "Before they dare to come, let's quickly build the wall that Xiaoqing said."

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, leader."

Yao Xiaoqing took Ah Chong who had eaten food down the mountain, and went down the mountain to the pond to continue firing shells.

After the fire was fired for an hour, the shells were burnt orange-red, and the clay bricks laid on the kiln also turned red and sank. Yao Xiaoqing began to seal the kiln with yellow mud, and prepared to simmer for one night and the next day. Open kilns to take oyster ash.

After the kiln was sealed, Yao Xiaoqing saw that Ah Chong had made hundreds of earthen bricks and put them to dry in the open space covered with sand.

Yao Xiaoqing A Chong said, and went to the field to check the pumpkin seedlings and pepper seedlings.

I found it in the field. After two or three days, the two leaves of the pumpkin seedlings had opened, revealing the fluffy leaves, and the pepper had grown two or three true leaves.

Yao Xiaoqing found a row of wild vegetables resembling rapeseed growing on the edge of the field. The vegetable seedlings were thin and stunted.There are a lot of weeds growing in the millet and taro fields, it's time to weed and fertilize.

Back on the mountain, I saw Uncle Shui and the others had chopped the meat into long strips, and when they saw her come back, they smiled and said: "Xiaoqing, Hua has washed the internal organs and put them in the basket, you come to marinate the meat and refine the oil, I will go down the mountain Help Ah Chong make bricks."

Yao Xiaoqing saw that the strips of meat on the stone slabs had been chopped into two or three catties, and said with a satisfied smile, "Okay! Uncle Shui, take the two uncles to chop some moso bamboo and build a row of bamboo. Sheds and bamboo sheds should not be surrounded by thatch, but should be covered with earth bricks and kilns.”

"Okay." Ah Shui took the two old uncles down the mountain to work.
