Chapter 12 Storing Food
When Chu Yao went down to the pine forest, there was already a large pile of pine resin on the ground.

"The children did a good job, I'll pick them up with you, come on!" Chu Yao encouraged them loudly.

"Sister Yao, we don't just know how to play."

The children listened to being praised and worked harder.

"Madam leader, you really have a way!" Dongze couldn't help giving a thumbs up. These little kids are not as obedient as they are now.

Chu Yao put down the basket with a smile, wrapped the pine resin on the ground and put it into the basket, and said, "Dongze, you carry this on your back, and cut wood with them, as long as I'm here."

Dongze looked at the distance between the two places, nodded and strode up with the resin on his back.

This tree is thick, and the pine resin produced is also big! Chu Yao also started to pick it up, and when she met a big one, she had to use her strength to pull it off.

"Oh, sister Yao, my hands have become black and stained." A boy who looks like black said with a bitter face.

"Ours too!"

The children all showed their hands to Chu Yao.

Chu Yao let them see her hands, and then said: "It's a small problem, my sister will teach you to wash it off tonight."

With her guarantee, the children no longer care about it.

"By the way, when I see this kind of fruit, I also pick it up and pile it together." Chu Yao found out that this kind of pine tree is actually the kind with pine nuts! She was worried about what snacks to get at night!
Xiao Suifeng pulled one from the tree with one hand: "Sister Yao, can this also be used?"

"This one won't work, you need this kind." Chu Yao showed him the big one she picked up.

"Oh, I got it!" Suifeng put down the pine resin in his hand, and climbed up the tree slowly.

Chu Yao raised her head: "Slow down, little guy, just pick a few." Although the children here are in good health, climbing trees is no problem, but in case of accidents, it's not very good.

At noon, Chu Yao took the children to move up all the pine resin they picked, and they had already cut down a certain number of trees in the night.

Babu has led people to start pushing the trees with their branches removed to pave a channel down the mountain.

"Babu, look for the ditch where the spring water flows down the mountain." When Chu Yao came up, she looked into the forest.

I found that there are many vines and low shrubs here, and it takes a lot of effort to pave a hard and deep road.The spring water on the mountain has been flowing for many years, and a deep ditch has been formed.Push the wood directly down from the ditch, and the wood will slide down along the flowing water. If there is a stuck place, just push it again.

When Babu heard this, his eyes sparkled with excitement and said: "Madam leader, there really is the spring ditch you mentioned here! We will try it right away."

"Be careful of snakes in the ditch." Chu Yao reminded them.

Snakes should be hibernating at this time, otherwise, why haven't we seen their shadows in such a big forest?
"What is a snake?" Sui Ye raised his head and asked, beads of sweat on his face fell on his bare chest as he spoke.

His bronzed skin glowed in the sun.

Chu Yao swallowed hard, and was stunned for a moment, but she didn't hear what he said clearly.

This is too tempting, isn't it?
"Heh." Suiye chuckled, it seems that his woman is very satisfied with her figure!
"Sister Yao, your saliva is about to flow out!"

Xiao Suifeng's voice is very inappropriate to think of.

"Little devil, don't go and move the pine cones back!" Chu Yao blushed from embarrassment, and yelled at him fiercely.

Xiao Suifeng made a face at her, and called his friends to carry the pine cones.

"You chisel, I'll fan." Chu Yao picked up a big leaf on the ground and fanned it for Suiye.

"Okay!" Sui Ye was so eager to work with her, he grinned and began to chisel.

A gap appeared in twos and fives, Chu Yao quickly grabbed the turpentine and put it in.

It's not the same if you have great strength. Before, you had to spend a lot of effort on your own.

After Suiye got angry, seeing that she was not moving, he said, "You look stupid?" Women's natural strength is not as strong as that of men, so what's so surprising about that.

Chu Yao laughed dryly, waved the leaves in her hand and started fanning the wind.

The two of them worked together in a tacit understanding. As the saying goes, men and women worked together, and within a short time, several big trees were pushed to the ground.

Chu Yao took advantage of the time to drink water, and ran to take a rough count of the trees that had been felled.

Seeing her come back, Suiye handed her the bamboo tube filled with clear water: "How much is there?"

Chu Yao picked up the bamboo tube and raised her head, took a few sips, then wiped her mouth and said, "There are already about two hundred."

Sui Ye was very satisfied with the quantity: "According to today's progress, construction can start tomorrow."

"Everyone, come here." Suiye stood up and shouted to everyone.

"What's the matter, leader?" Dong Ze was the first to run over.

"We divide some people to push the wood down the mountain and move it back to the tribe, and the rest continue to cut." Sui Ye said, pointing to the sun and saying: "We will try to build the other half of the wall before the sun goes down." good."

"No problem, leader!" Everyone raised their stone axes and responded loudly.

Suiye nodded: "Then let's get started."

To build another part of the wall, Chu Yao thought that she couldn't move the wood, so why not go back and bring people to dig the soil first.

After telling Suiye, he went down the mountain on his own, picking some edible fruits and wild vegetables along the way.

After arriving at the tribe's square, Babu and others also brought back the timber, which piled high on the square.

"A-mei, you're back. The leader told me to take a few of them to dig the ditch with you." The man who spoke was Afan, and he was Suiye's cousin, so he didn't call him Chu with other people. Yao is his wife.

"Brother Afan, you move the rocks and shovel out first, and I'll come over after I put down my things." Chu Yao said and distributed some of the fruits in her arms to them.

Afan and the others were very moved after receiving it, and then went to move the stone shovel.

"Suifeng, come out quickly." Chu Yao called.

Suifeng and the children were helping the adults tidy up their things, but when they heard Chu Yao calling him, they ran over in a hurry: "Sister Yao!" He yelled with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on the things in her hand .

"Little devil! Take it and share it with your friends. The turpentine on your hands will be washed off with hot water and more bubbles." Chu Yao put a large bag of things into his arms, and rubbed her fleshy face as usual back.

I went to the place where I usually light a fire for cooking, found a large piece of plantain leaf and folded it into a cone shape, then took the ashes of the usual firewood into it, and took it to the wall.

The fence built earlier was erected directly by using the principle of triangular fixing. Later, Chu Yao considered the long-term problem and came up with another method.

"Sister, all the stone shovels have been brought here."

Afan and the others each held an improved stone shovel.
