Going through ancient farming to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 9 9 Can exchange food, drive away

According to what Yao Xiaoqing said, the editor likes to carry a basket, looking at the branches and vines at the opening of the basket, he always feels that something is wrong there.Turning around to see Xiao Qing who was snoring, he wanted to ask but was reluctant to wake her up.

Yaohu looked at Mufeng who was circling around the basket and said, "Mufeng, are you hurting? Come and sleep, Father watches the fire."

Mu Feng, immersed in the fun of weaving, smiled and said, "Father, my injury doesn't hurt, and I'm not sleepy. I want to weave for a while."

Yaohu nodded, polished the dug wooden bowl smooth, saw that Mufeng didn't want to sleep yet, asked him to add some firewood to the fire, and lay down to sleep by himself.

The next day, Yao Xiaoqing woke up as soon as the sky was bright. To be precise, he was woken up by Mi Tiangong.

The moment I woke up, I looked at the cave in a daze before I realized it. I took two pieces of paper and hurriedly ran to the woods to solve it.After washing his hands and face by the stream, and returning to the cave, Mu Feng pointed to the basket and asked her, "Xiaoqing, do you think so?"

Only then did Yao Xiaoqing realize that one of the panniers had already been made, and most of the other was also made.

After looking at it carefully, although it is not as good-looking as my grandfather's weaving, it is still quite tight.

What is important in manual work is that practice makes perfect, and the more you make up a few, the better you will do it.When they arrived in the new tribe, they would weave out mats, fish baskets, dustpans, dustpans, dustpans...all of those.

Seeing her looking over and over with the basket in her hand, Mu Feng thought he did not do well.

Looking at her a little nervous. "Xiaoqing, did you write it badly?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled, "It's not bad, my brother's hands are so skillful. The final process is the lock. You see, cut off a section of the excess branch and rattan with a knife, bend it and insert it obliquely into the hole. , and then use two thick branches to sandwich it on both sides, put the thin rattan in, lock it tightly around the opening, and finally put on the keel, tie the straps and it’s done.”

After Yao Xiaoqing finished speaking, he felt that something was missing in the cave, and looked around, "Father, where did the golden retriever go?"

"The golden retriever went out before dawn." Yaohu said from the side.

Mu Feng also said: "It went out to play, Xiaoqing, do you think it is locked like this?"

"Yes, that's it." Yao Xiaoqing took a look, and then packed her sleeping bag with confidence.

According to Yao Xiaoqing's instructions, Mu Feng locked the opening of the back basket a little bit, and happily brought the unfinished back basket to Yaohu, "Father, look!"

Yaohu looked at the basket and nodded, "Okay, follow Xiaoqing to study hard, and rely on it to change food in autumn."

Yao Xiaoqing looked at Yaohu, "Father, can you exchange food for a basket?"

Yaohu smiled proudly, "Yes, Xiaoqing's back basket is better than Dawu's jar. Dawu's jar can be exchanged for a sheep, and so can the basket."

jar?Is it clay pot?Yao Xiaoqing searched in her mind, and found that there were wooden bowls, stone bowls, and stone pots in her memory.

"What kind of jars, are there any in the tribe? Is it made of stone?"

"No, our tribe doesn't have one. The Dawu tribe made it," Yaohu gestured with envy in his eyes, "It's so big, one can be exchanged for a sheep."

It seems that it is either a clay pot or a clay jar. I thought that when I go to the new tribe, I will burn a few and show him, and I will understand.

Mu Feng enthusiastically pointed to the still-closed pannier, "Xiaoqing, leave the lock to me."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Okay, I'll cut some thick rattan again, tear off the rattan skin and weave a few braids, put it on the keel and carry it on my back."

Mu Feng hurriedly went to the ashes to dig the stalks, "Xiaoqing, the stalks are in the fire, you eat first, I'll go with you."

Yao Xiaoqing picked up the engineering shovel, "No need, your wound is still in the woods at the entrance of the rattan hole, and I'll be back in a while."

"Okay, don't go far away." Mu Feng buried his feet back into the ashes.

****
In the Yaoshan tribe, it was already dawn, but the dam outside the cave was still deserted.

Fire Fox came out of the cave and blew the bull's horn, "Woo... woo... woo..."

Shan'am looked at the mountains and boulders that were getting weaker and weaker, and said, "Firebeaver wants to drive us away."

The bull helped Shan and the boulder up, and Shan looked at Grandma, panting, and said, "Grandma, help us up, pack up the animal skins, and hide the millet and bean seeds on my body."

"Yes, it's hidden on you." Shan'am hurriedly handed the seeds wrapped in two pieces of leather to Shan.

As soon as they packed up, the Black Badger called out from the entrance of the cave, "Shan Amu, the leader has something to say."

Shan'am walked to the entrance of the cave with a sad face, "Black Badger, Shan and the others can't get up, has the leader returned with a change of medicine?"

The black badger looked at her arrogantly, "Shan Amu, I don't even have food, what should I use to go to the Dawu tribe to change medicine?"

Everyone gathered outside the cave where the leader lived. Huo Li stood on a big rock and pretended to talk about the difficulties of the tribe. Finally, he looked at Shan Amu and the others, "Shan Amu, pig, Yun Amu, worm, Water, the tribe can’t support you anymore, you go find a new place to live, and come back when the tribe is strong.”

He was exhausted from hunger, leaned on a wooden stick with his uninjured hand, and said weakly, "Leader, my Yaoshan tribe has never driven out our own people, you can't drive us out to be savages."

Huoli said in a deep voice: "Now there are only about [-] warriors in the tribe, and we can't support you anymore. If you don't leave the Yaoshan tribe, you will die together, and the warriors will not agree."

Shan'am cried sadly, "My son is also a warrior, why should we go?"

A clansman looked at Shan'am dissatisfied, "Your son can no longer hunt, why should we support you?"

Shan'am said angrily: "Ahe, you were stabbed by a bull's horn before, but my mountain and boulders saved you. Fire Fox, even if you become the leader, you can't help them drive us away."

Ah He pouted, "Without food, we will starve to death. You guys don't want to die with you. The leader told you to go, go quickly."

The Black Badger led the rest of the tribe and shouted, "Go, why should we support you?"

Shan Amu looked at several tribesmen who were about the same age as her, "My child was injured for the tribe, and when your son is injured, you will also be driven away."

Those people looked at her and lowered her head in embarrassment.

The bull was carrying the hide, and the mountain and the boulder came out of the cave with a wooden stick, "Grandma, let's go."

"This is from the tribe, you can't take it away." The mountain mouse looked at the furs on the backs of several people, and stepped forward to snatch it.

Shan Amu stopped in front of him, "This is the animal skin we got."

The mountain mouse raised its fist to hit Shan'am, the bull, Dashi, and Shan pointed the stone knife at the mountain mouse, and shouted: "How dare you!"

Pig, Chong, and Shui also walked behind Shan and the others with stone knives, and looked at Shan Shu angrily.

The fire raccoon shook his head at the mountain mouse, and the mountain mouse stepped aside.

Hua, the woman of Shanhe Dashi, also came out of the cave with the animal skin and her child on her back, and walked up to Amu Shan, "Mum, I will go with you."

"Let's go." Shan led a dozen people to leave the tribe, and walked towards the cave where Yaohu and the others lived.

Fire Fox looked at the rest of the people, and the joy in his heart was almost overflowing.

He finally cleared Yaohu's people from the tribe, and felt that the sky was brighter than before, and the Yaoshan tribe belonged to his Huoli family from now on.
