Traveling through ancient times to farm and build infrastructure

Chapter 322 322 Cannibals

"Qingwu, before we came to the Yaoshan tribe, we ate everything in the forest, and our sisters were poisoned to death." A girl with a flat nose said.

The other also nodded aside, "That's right, two little sisters in my Qingwu tribe died after eating the fruit. We only ate that kind of fruit two days ago."

The flat-nosed girl said in a low voice: "Old Eminem said they were taken in by the mountain demon to serve them."

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a while after hearing this, "Some fruits in the forest are crawled by poisonous insects, leaving venom on them. If you are unlucky and happen to pick them and eat them, you will be poisoned to death."

"Oh! It turns out that the fruit was crawled over by poisonous insects, and it wasn't the mountain demon who took them away." Everyone understood after hearing this.

Looking at the chattering girls, Yao Xiaoqing clapped her hands and said, "Okay, everyone, be careful when you go up the tree to collect cocoons, and don't fall off."

"It's the Green Witch." Everyone responded in unison.

Shan'am carried a bamboo basket and collected silkworm cocoons from the low places, and everyone searched among the leaves.

Yao Xiaoqing found that these wild silkworms were emerald green, a bit like live hot peppers, and slightly yellowish.A dozen people chewed the jerky and searched the woods for two or three hours, and the silkworm cocoons they found filled two baskets.

Shan Amu looked at the gray-yellow silkworm cocoons, "Xiaoqing, what's the use of collecting silkworm cocoons?"

Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "You can make quilts and weave. The quilts made from this thing are light and warm. With it, we don't need to cover them with heavy animal skins."

Shan'am's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Good stuff! Let's get some back and raise them."

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "We don't seem to have this kind of tree over there. I don't know if it eats green leaves or not?"

She still remembers that when she was the village head, the county trained silkworm rearing, and she still vaguely remembered the method of collecting silkworm eggs that she read in the book.It seems to put silkworm cocoons in a cardboard box, with paper specially used to collect silkworm eggs underneath.

The silkworm chrysalis will mate after breaking out of the shell. After mating, the male moth dies due to exhaustion of energy in the body, and the female moth immediately begins to lay eggs.

A female moth can lay more than 200 eggs, and the laid silkworm eggs naturally stick to the paper, spread out evenly one by one, and store the silkworm eggs for use in the next year.

"Ah~" Suddenly there was a scream.

Yao Xiaoqing drew out the dagger, "Mum, hurry up and call someone!"

"Hey!" Shan Amu ran towards the salt mine.

The girls fled quickly from the forest, and everyone looked at Yao Xiaoqing in panic, "Qingwu~, Axia was taken away."

"Did you take it away? Do you know which tribe it is from?" Yao Xiaoqing looked into the forest holding the dagger, and heard the sound of feet stepping on dead branches.

One person said, "I didn't leave, I came this way."

Several people gathered around her, "I don't know, there is a long worm totem painted on her body."

At this moment, Mu Feng and a warrior rushed over, "Xiaoqing, what's going on?"

A dozen or so men with camouflage painted on their faces, some with pheasants in their hands, and some with hares in their hands, came out of the forest with Axia in their hands.

Axia kept struggling and screaming, "Let me go, let me go..."

After approaching, everyone saw the gloomy totem of long insects with wings on their chests at a glance.

The man at the head had a square face and a broad forehead, with a bone stuck in his waist, whether it was a human or a beast.

Mu Feng looked at the totem and thought about it, and found that he had never seen a tribe with such a totem, so he raised his knife and shouted: "Let her go."

"Qing Wu~ woo woo..." Axia looked at Yao Xiaoqing with tears in her eyes.

At this time, the Bulls also came, "What happened? Who are they?"

"Are you a witch?" The tall and strong man holding Ah Xia looked at Yao Xiaoqing, "Which tribe do you belong to?"

Mu Feng asked in a deep voice, "Which tribe do you belong to?"

The man next to the tall and strong man stared at Yao Xiaoqing and the others with crimson eyes, and licked his lips obscenely, "Hua, there are so many women!"

Yao Xiaoqing looked into the eyes of these people, and suddenly remembered the legend that people's eyes would turn red when they cannibalize, and also thought of Huo and the others' mention of cannibals.I don't think these people are good people.

"Brother, do it."

Before he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger of the hand crossbow, 'Swoosh! The arrow pierced through the air, and shot between the eyebrows of the man holding Ah Xia, and the two people standing beside him.

The man moved with the arrow, and in a blink of an eye he reached the man, pulled A'xia over, and pushed her to Shan'am.

"Go up~" Mu Feng also rushed over with a machete.

The three of them fell to the ground with a bang, and other sluggish men rushed over with bone knives and stone axes.

Mu Feng swung the machete and chopped off the stabbing bone knife, the dagger in Yao Xiaoqing's hand stuck out like a snake, and cut the man's throat with a knife.

"Xiao Qing, you move so fast!" Mu Feng laughed.

Yao Xiaoqing glanced at him, "You're not bad either!"

She found that the fighting power of the warriors of the tribe was much stronger than before.The moves against the enemy also have rules, the machete goes straight to the enemy's vital points, and the movements are clean and neat.

With kung fu and sharp weapons, confronting the enemy is one-sided crushing. It seems that Jiang Li's training effect is good.

The fight was over soon.

The bull pulled out the arrow between the eyebrows of the tall and strong man, looked at the man's waist bone, and felt that it was somewhat different from the bone of a beast, not as thick as the bones of the beasts they captured.

"Xiaoqing, I don't think the bone on his body is that of a beast."

Yao Xiaoqing took a look at the thick bones and thought they were cannibals, "Brother, have you ever seen cannibals?"

Mu Feng shook his head, "No, the cannibals were driven into the mountains a long time ago."

Xiong Niu said: "Xiaoqing, do you suspect that they are cannibals?"

Shan Amu came over, "Xiaoqing, when I was young, I saw cannibals. Their hair was yellow, their faces were pale, and their teeth were black. They looked like mountain demons."

She approached and looked at the corpses lying on the ground, and looked back at a few people, "These people are much better-looking than the cannibals. The totem on their bodies is somewhat similar to the cannibals. It is also a long insect, but without wings."

Yao Xiaoqing turned to look at them, "Let's go back and ask Amon."

Mu Feng nodded, "Let's go back and cover the entrance of the cave, let's go." After saying that, leaving a few warriors behind, they ran to the salt mine with the bull.

They found a cave entrance in the salt mine, and every time they came over, they left two people on guard, and used vines to cover the cave entrance when they entered and exited.

Shan Amu said to Axia and the others: "Pack up your things and get ready to go."

The girls get busy,
Everyone poured the collected cocoons together and carried them to the foot of the mountain. Mufeng and the others also carried the salt back down the mountain.Pour the salt into the bamboo basket and lead the cattle back.

There was a rumbling thunder that exploded in the sky, and the lightning fell on the opposite mountain, and the top of the mountain glowed silver.

"It's going to rain, everyone hurry up."

A group of people quickened their pace, but were still drowned by the thunderstorm.
