Leopard said: "Chief, with iron weapons like this, we won't be afraid of the giant bear tribe. When we have more warriors, we can go and avenge them."
Yao Hu said solemnly: "When we become stronger, we will go to them to take revenge."
When everyone thought about the deceased clan members, they no longer looked happy.
Yao Xiaoqing stood up and persuaded: "Father, think about it, the weather is like this. The millet and beans planted by our tribe need to be watered every three or four days, and the Giant Bear Tribe doesn't know how to plant them."
"Just like those millet grains planted by the Shenmu tribe, the weeds are longer than the millet grains. Can there be a harvest? If the weather continues to be dry like this, the grass and plants in the mountains will dry up. Where will they collect food?"
"The wild beasts will flee deep into the mountains if they have nothing to eat. The Giant Bear Tribe is robbing people, and sooner or later they will come out to plunder. Let's wait for them in the tribe and teach them a lesson so that they will never dare to come out to plunder again."
After hearing this, everyone felt that Yao Xiaoqing was right. They used to plant the seeds in this way, without weeding, fertilizing or watering. When the harvest came, there were only a few sparse grains on the ears.
Dashi said: "Yes, after winter, the giant bears brought people to snatch our food and animal skins. Now that Tiangan cannot collect food, they will definitely come out to snatch it."
Muba nodded, "If they come to rob us, let's go and fight them."
Leopard: "Yes, we have sharp weapons now. If they dare to come, we will fight them and avenge the dead tribesmen."
Yao Hu looked at them with a determined expression on his face: "Warriors, as long as we are united, we will kill the black bear father and son sooner or later to avenge our people."
The men and women all stood up and shouted: "Kill the black bear and avenge the tribe! Revenge the tribe!"
Yao Xiaoqing believes that everyone will be able to avenge the blood of the clan, as well as the blood feud between the original owner, mother and daughter, and two brothers.
After Yao Hu calmed down, he pointed at the plowshare and said to Yao Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, how do you use the plowshare? Tell Uncle Chong and the others."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded and said to the old man: "Uncle Chong, if we have plows to plow the land in the future, we will save a lot of effort."
Ah Chong and the others looked at the gleaming V-shaped iron plowshare, "Xiao Qing, how is this thing used?"
"I'll draw it for you to see."
Yao Xiaoqing went to the kitchen to find a piece of charcoal, and drew a picture of an old-fashioned southern plow on the wall. "Put the plowshare on the plow frame, attach the shackles, and the fiber rope, and put it around the neck of the cow, and you can plow the land."
.”
Everyone watched Yao Xiaoqing pointing at the picture and after explaining it, they all understood what the plow was used for.
Mufeng smiled and said: "No wonder you said you wanted to raise cattle, but you originally wanted them to help plow the fields."
"Not only can they help with plowing, but they can also help with carrying things," Yao Xiaoqing smiled proudly, "Let's use three plowshares and three rakes, and let a few oxen plow and harrow the ground. Think about it,
How much land can be plowed in one day? How much time can we save?”
Although Ah Zhongbo and the others did not know how much land an ox could plow in a day, they kept nodding their heads when they thought of the brute strength of the ox.
Gen Bo smiled and said: "Xiao Qing is right."
Ah Chong picked up a hoe and said, "Yeah! This thing is also good. It looks sharper and stronger than a stone hoe."
After seeing this, the old uncle nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, digging will be much faster in the future."
Shan'am and Chun'am were also anxious, "Chief, we also want a sickle."
Yao Hu nodded, "Okay, after the busy work is over, everyone will be here." He paused, "Everyone except those who keep watch tonight will go back to rest. Those who hunt and collect salt stones will go out as usual tomorrow morning, and the women who collect salt will stay behind.
The tribe harvests millet.”
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes, leader."
Everyone walked back in twos and threes, and everyone was talking about the new iron tools in the tribe.
Yao Xiaoqing went back and drew the shape of a machete and showed it to Yao Hu, "Father, you'd better make a few machetes like this. This kind of knife can cut wood and be powerful enough to fight enemies."
Yao Hu nodded, "Okay, this should save more material than an axe. I'll try to make one tomorrow."
Early the next morning, at dawn, a dozen pregnant women stayed in the canteen to boil water and make food.
Yao Xiaoqing took everyone to Su Valley.
"Listen, everyone, the sickle is very sharp. You must be careful when cutting. Don't be afraid of cutting your fingers."
"The millet that is cut and tied with straw ropes should be placed separately. That is the millet that is left to make seeds."
"Yes, Qingwu." The people holding the sickles responded loudly.
More than twenty people were harvesting millet, and a dozen old uncles were busy picking the millet back, drying the reserved seeds and ordinary seeds separately in the courtyard dam.
After eating the food, a group of people went to the fields to get busy again.
During the noon break, the sentry Gen Bo blew the bamboo whistle, and Yaohu took the pig and the bull to the mountain with weapons.
A dark, muscular man about the same age as him stood next to a pretty dark woman wearing a shell necklace. Behind him stood several tanned warriors, and about a dozen equally tanned women.
The entrance to the tribe.
It turned out to be the leader of the cattle tribe, who came with a woman to change the medicine.
When the black man saw Yao Hu, he laughed and came over, "Chief Yao Hu, your tribe is pretty good."
The two smiled and held hands, and Yao Hu said: "Chief Shanyang, please!"
The people of the Niu tribe followed Yaohu and the others down the mountain, and their eyes widened when they saw the fences and stone walls.
Shan Yang looked at him with envy, "Chief Yaohu, your method is good. This way you won't be afraid of wild beasts entering the tribe and attacking children and women."
Yao Hu smiled happily: "Chief Shanyang, we are also trying to build it. It will take some time to know how it works."
A group of people arrived at the gate. The people from the Niu tribe were lying on the gate and watching curiously.
When they walked into the tribe, their eyes almost popped out of their heads. What they saw in front of them was beyond their imagination. This must be a place where gods live!
A dozen women showed happy smiles, this is where they will live from now on.
Shanyang looked at Yaohu with admiration: "Chief Yaohu, how did you think of building the tribe like this? How come the grains and beans grow so well?"
Yao Hu chuckled, "It was my daughter who led the race."
Shanyang was very satisfied with the Yaoshan tribe and thought it was right to bring the woman to change the medicine.
When the group arrived at the canteen, Yaohu asked Hua, Dongxue and the others to make food for the people of the Niu tribe.
After Yaohu asked Shanyang to take a seat, the people of the Niu tribe stood behind him cautiously.
Shan Yang looked at Yao Hu and smiled and said: "I brought twelve women here to exchange for your hemostatic medicine as I agreed with you last time." After he used the hemostatic medicine given by Yao Hu,
It was better to stop bleeding than the herbs he found himself and the ones he bought from the Great Witch Tribe, so he made up his mind to bring the woman to Yaohu to change the medicine.
"I don't know about the medicine. I asked my daughter Xiaoqing to come." Yao Hu said with a smile.
"Chief, I'm going to call Qing Wu." The pig standing behind Yao Hu called Yao Xiaoqing.
The woman sitting next to Shan Yang looked up at Yao Hu in surprise.
