Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 7 7 Decision
An old woman with gray hair came towards this side in a secretive way, and Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly hid the pot in the grass.

Yao Xiaoqing recognized her after approaching, and it was the food she sent to Yaohu and his son.

She is the grandmother of Shan and Dashi, another two warriors in the Yaoshan tribe. In this battle, Zhongshan and Dashi can't afford to be injured, so Fire Fox can take the position of leader.

When Shan Amu saw Yao Xiaoqing who was fetching water by the stream, a smile appeared on his anxious and distressed face, "Xiaoqing, have you found the big witch to heal your father and elder brother?"

"Em, they're getting better."

"Bless the gods." Shan'am took out a piece of food wrapped in plant leaves from the animal fur coat, and handed it to her across the stream, "Take the food back for them to eat."

Yao Xiaoqing knew that her food was saved secretly, and if she gave it to herself, she would be hungry.Shaking his head and pointing to the feet on the ground: "Shan Amu, take the food back, I found the food, is Uncle Shan better?"

"Before they wake up, the remaining food in the tribe is almost gone. I'm worried that the fire foxes will drive them out of the tribe."

"They," Yao Xiaoqing looked at her puzzled, "who else hasn't woken up? Didn't Fire Fox go to the big witch to heal the warriors?"

"The fire raccoon used the medicine left in the tribe. That little medicine, the bull, the boulder, and the mountain would all be needed. Xiaoqing, I'm leaving." Shan Amu was worried about being discovered by the fire raccoon. He walked back in a hurry.

In the memory of the original owner, Dashi, Xiongniu, and Shan are all people who are relatively close to Yaohu.

Yao Xiaoqing feels that Huoli has no tolerance and is not worthy of being the leader of a tribe. If the Yaoshan tribe falls into his hands, it will sooner or later perish.

Returning to the cave with the pot and wild vegetables, Yao Xiaoqing cut a few slices of bacon, put them on a piece of firewood, cut them into small pieces with a dagger, put them in a bowl, washed them with water, put them in a rice pot, and stirred them. Start cooking porridge a few times.

The golden retriever looked at her, pulled her skirt and pointed at her mouth, begging for something to eat.

"Is the golden retriever hungry?" Yao Xiaoqing gave it a piece of ham sausage, and the golden retriever happily took it and ran to the entrance of the cave to sit and eat.

Yaohu and his son looked at the golden retriever sitting at the mouth of the cave eating ham sausage, and praised: "Xiaoqing, it's really clever."

"Yes, it will catch snakes for me!" Yao Xiaoqing walked over and looked at Yaohu, "Father, just now by the creek, Shan Amu brought us food, I asked her to bring some food. gone back."

Yaohu looked at the bandages on his legs, thinking that he and Mufeng were more injured than them, and Xiaoqing was cured with the medicine bestowed by the gods.

"What happened to the mountain and the big rock and the big river?"

"I heard from her that the fire foxes gave them very little wound medicine. She said that the food in the tribe was running out, and that the fire foxes might drive them out of the tribe."

"Now the only strong warriors in the tribe are Huohu and the rest." Yaohu raised his hands to count the number, "There are more than a dozen old people like Shan Amu. Huoli used to say that they would reduce the food for those old people. We often Arguing over this matter. Shan, Dashi, Bull, and Fire Fox have always been at odds, and without food, he will definitely drive them out of the tribe."

Mu Feng looked at him, "Father, those who can't work and hunt have been driven out. The rest of the tribe are Huoli people. Should we go back to the tribe? Why can't we find another place and build a A new tribe?"

Yao Xiaoqing agrees with Mu Feng's point of view, and feels that the Yaoshan tribe is what people in later generations often say: the temple is small and the demon is strong, and the pool is shallow and the king is more than eight.In a small tribe, there are several human spirits, and they all want to fight for their own interests. Only the Holy Mother will work hard for them in such a tribe.

Yaohu, who lost his two sons and his wife after the plunder of the giant bear tribe, is also thinking about whether it is worth sacrificing his son, wife, and warriors for such a tribe?

"I have to think about it." Yaohu lay down disheartened.

Mufeng leaned on a wooden stick, planed a piece of potato out of the fire, and pressed it quickly, "Xiaoqing, this potato is edible."

Maybe it was because they had never been exposed to high-quality medicine, Mu Feng and Yao Hu recovered quickly, and after Mu Feng got up, he didn't want to lie down again.

"You're hungry, eat first." Yao Xiaoqing put the wild vegetables into the pot, stirred it, took the pot down, scooped the porridge into a bowl and let it cool.

Mu Feng took out the sticks and covered the fire with ashes, and said to Yao Hu, "Father, it's time to eat."

Yaohu shook his head, "You guys eat first, and Father will eat after he understands."

"Okay, let's eat first." Mu Feng broke off the sole of the potato, revealing the white potato meat inside, took a bite, and exhaled with a hot grin.

Yao Xiaoqing brought a bowl of porridge to Yaohu, looked at his frowning face, and said, "Father, I think brother is right, we should find another place and rebuild the tribe."

Yaohu looked at her with a bowl in his hand, "Xiaoqing, Uncle Shan, and the rest are old people. There are too few warriors to resist the giant bear tribe and those plundering tribes."

"Do you think Fire Fox and the others will join you in resisting the giant bear tribe?"

What Yao Xiaoqing didn't say was: What is there to commemorate such a group of mobs with their own ghosts?
Mu Feng nodded, "Yes, Xiaoqing is right, father, let's go to the place last time and leave this place for Huoli."

"Where was that place last time?" Yao Xiaoqing looked at the father and son in confusion.

Yaohu pointed to the southeast direction, "Last time I took your three elder brothers to hunt, and I chased the prey to a place outside the mountain forest. There is a water source there, but it is not easy to find. The bad thing is that there is only a small cave. "

Yao Xiaoqing was overjoyed that a place with mountains and rivers, which is not easy to find, just happened to be able to rest and recuperate.There are no caves to build houses, and there are few warriors, so weapons are made and fortifications are built to resist invaders.

"Father, how many days will it take to go there?"

Yaohu pointed to the southwest direction, "Two days, when my father is well, I will take you there to build a new tribe."

Mu Feng replied loudly: "Okay!"

After Yaohu made up his mind, he felt much more relaxed. He ate two large pieces of soy sauce, drank a bowl of porridge with bacon and wild vegetables, and said to Xiaoqing with a smile, "What Xiaoqing cooks is delicious."

"Father, give me a taste." Mu Feng took a bowl of porridge from the bowl he used and started to drink it.The salty aroma of bacon made Mu Feng shout out that porridge is the best thing, better than the venison he has ever eaten.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and ate a piece of sweet potato, feeling that there was a bit of bitterness in the glutinous rice flour, which was similar to the taste of digging in the mountains in later generations.Hearing Mufeng say that porridge is better than venison, he said with a smile: "If it tastes good, you can eat more, and you can cook it a few times."

After hearing this, Mu Feng sighed, "Oh! There will be nothing left after eating."

Yaohu said with a smile: "Mufeng, it is a great blessing for us to be able to eat the food bestowed by the gods."
