Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 8 8 It's hard to have nothing

Yao Xiaoqing took the towel, toothbrush, toothpaste and pots and pans to the creek, washed the pots and bowls, and brushed his teeth.

After scrubbing her body with stream water, the golden retriever sat aside and looked at her curiously.

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Little Golden Retriever, you have to watch girls take a shower."

The golden retriever simply ran to her side, looked up at her for a while, pouted his buttocks and imitated her holding water to wash his face.

Seeing its strange appearance, Yao Xiaoqing laughed happily.

The water was a little cold, so Yao Xiaoqing washed up in twos and twos, took off the animal leather shoes on his feet, quickly scrubbed his stinky feet, shook them a few times, and put them in again.

Scratching the head of the chicken nest and touching the cold stream water, I still didn't dare to wash my hair.Sighing, thinking that there are so many things needed, Yao Xiaoqing doesn't know where to start?how to start
Looking at the tree trunk with a thick bowl mouth, I thought that two bowls are for three people, and it is very inconvenient to eat. Thinking of the stone pots and stone bowls in the tribe, let’s start with something that fills the stomach!

"Father made two wooden bowls."

Yaohu nodded, "Bring the wood here."

Yao Xiaoqing immediately went over and brought the wood and engineering shovel.He sawed the wood into a knot about five inches long and handed it to Yaohu.Watch him take out a stone knife and dig out from the middle of the wood.

Yao Xiaoqing's eyes lit up after seeing it, and when he went to the tribe, he could dig a wooden basin and a bathtub to take a bath by finding a big tree.The thought of taking a bath made her scalp itchy, and she knew without thinking that there must be lice growing on her body.

Relying on the few things in the bag and the pile of soles is not a long-term solution. The food problem must be solved first, and even the stomach cannot be filled. How can we talk about hygiene?
Yaohu and Mufeng made bowls, and Yao Xiaoqing took the branches and vines and started weaving baskets.

Recalling the scene when my dad and grandpa were weaving the baskets, I found more than a dozen thumb-thick branches and put them aside for later use.

Take out the vines and straighten them aside, cross the prepared branches vertically and horizontally, and then use thin rattan to cross-wrap the branches, beat them tightly with wooden sticks, weave them round and round, and slowly the bottom is formed.

Then cut a few thick branches and insert a few vertically, then insert a few in the shape of a meter at the bottom, and erect all the branches to weave upwards.She stopped digging the wooden wind bowl, and squatted beside her while watching and asking. Yao Xiaoqing explained to him carefully according to the preparation method in memory.

Yaohu was digging the wood chipper while watching her, and he couldn't see what she was doing after watching for a long time.

"Xiaoqing, what are you doing?"

"Back basket, you can use it to carry things back when you go out to pick up things." Yao Xiaoqing struggled with those branches and vines without raising her head.

Mu Feng felt itchy to see it, and took a vine, "Xiaoqing, I will help you."

"Okay." Yao Xiaoqing readily handed him the work in hand.

After correcting Mu Feng twice, Yao Xiaoqing found that Mu Feng was clumsy in the first two laps, but after the two laps, he showed his skillful hands. After only half an hour, the basket was half a foot high. .

Yao Xiaoqing was sitting by the fire, looking at the wooden pannier weaved by the wind. After watching for a while, her head began to shake little by little.

Yaohu said to her: "Xiaoqing, let your elder brother do it, you can sleep!"

"Okay." Scratching his itchy scalp, he took the sleeping bag more than one meter away from the fire, looked at the sleeping bag, worried that there were really lice on his head, and dared not get into the sleeping bag to sleep. Unrolled the bed and lay down sideways on the ground.

Seeing her lying down, the golden retriever also ran to her side and snuggled up to her feet.

Yao Xiaoqing thought she would not be able to fall asleep, so she fell asleep after lying down for 2 minutes.

Yue'am returned to the tribe in hiding, and before she entered the cave, Ye Zi, the woman of the black badger, came over quietly, grabbed her and whispered: "Yue'am, the leader and the black badger are going to drive you away. go out."

Yue'am looked at Ye Zi, "We are from the Yaoshan tribe, why should they drive us away?"

Ye Zi looked around cautiously, and whispered in her ear, "Dawu is gone. I heard they say that people who are good with Yaohu and those who can't hunt and work will be driven out of the tribe. Be careful." Ye Zi finished speaking and left in a panic.

Although he had already guessed Huoli's plan, Yue'am was still a little panicked when he really wanted to leave the tribe.

I hurriedly walked towards the cave, looked at the mountains and boulders lying there, and the bull sitting there in a daze, thinking how to tell them the news?

Shan heard footsteps, opened his eyes and looked at her weakly, "Mum, is the leader awake?"

Yue'am nodded and sat next to the three of them, took out the black piece of food, broke it open and gave some to one of them, and said with a sad face: "Xiaoqing said that the leader is awake. When I came back, I heard Ye Zi say that the black badger We are discussing with Fire Fox to drive us away, what do you think we should do? Without the tribe, we are savages." Yue'am's tears flowed down.

The bull limped to the front of the mountain, looked at him and said in a low voice, "Shan, Dashi, let's go to the leader Yaohu."

Dashi had a bitter face, "They drove the leader away that day, so we should go together."

Shan looked at them, "Let's go to the leader, he won't want us. Mother, you go to Zhu, Uncle Shui, Uncle Yun, Uncle Chong, and tell them that we will go together."

"Okay." Yue'am got up, and the bull held her back, "Yue'am, don't tell them that the leader woke up."

Yue'am nodded, "I know that Fire Fox has always wanted the leader to die, so I can't let him know about it."

In the cave where the leader of the Yaoshan tribe lives, there are four strong men sitting around.There were a few pieces of meat on the open space between the four of them, and their mouths were full of oil.

The short and strong one is called Black Badger. He has a long face, dark skin, a pair of shining mouse eyes, big nostrils, two thick lips, and a flattering smile.

Stretching his neck and wearing the leader's feather crown, the hulking Huoli, with a fierce expression, whispered: "Boss, those are all Yaohu people, and those two old guys, they used to help Yaohu, Get them out and there will be enough food left."

A man named Mountain Mouse with snarky eyebrows said eagerly, "Boss, Black Badger is right, I'll go and drive them away."

Huoli glanced at him, and said to the lean man who was eating meat in a muffled voice, "Huahu, go and see if Dawu is back, ask him to ask what he thinks?"

Huahu grabbed a piece of meat and took a bite, then said: "The chief, Dawu said, he hides when he hunts good things, and he doesn't give food to those who can't hunt."

Huoli looked at Huahu who was eating non-stop with a sullen face, "Why didn't he tell me when he went out to hunt?"

"Boss, he said he didn't want to keep those bastards," said the Mountain Rat.

The black badger also wanted to get rid of those burdens, "Leader, look at other tribes, they drive out those who are injured and can't hunt for food to become savages. If there is more food, there will be more warriors. We have fewer warriors, but we have too many warriors." Useless people, drive those people away, when we hunt for food, go to Qiushan to exchange women and come back, our Yaoshan tribe will definitely become a big tribe.”

What Black Badger said was what Fire Fox had always wanted to do. He thought it was only fair, and the tribe should not raise those useless people and drag the tribe down.

Huo Li acted as if he had to agree to their request.After hesitating again and again, he said with a heavy tone: "Okay! You are the warriors of my Yaoshan tribe, and I will drive away those useless people according to your requirements."
