After all, she only had the original owner's memories, and she had never done anything like this in modern times. She was really worried that her hands would be unsteady and she would ruin the tiger skin.
Fortunately, her hands had muscle memory, and without her having to think, they automatically did the job steadily and quickly. Not long after the crowd dispersed, she had completely peeled off the tiger skin.
Seeing the tiger skin being peeled off, Ah Hua said, "Yu, you've been tired all day. Auntie will help you deal with the tiger skin. You can go back and rest."
Qiao Yu searched his memory and realized that saltpeter wasn't used to treat animal hides in those days. Tribal people simply cleaned the flesh from the hides, rubbed them with salt, and then dried them in the sun, ready to be made into clothing and bedding.
Although she knew that this method of treating animal hides was not a good one, without saltpeter, her method would be useless. She immediately handed the tiger hide to Ah Hua.
She had killed the tiger alone, so while she couldn't keep all of it, according to the rules, she was supposed to get a third of it. She could just give Ah Hua a large piece of the tiger meat when the time came, and she wouldn't have to worry about owing anyone a favor.
"Thank you, Auntie. I'll go back now." She stood up and said.
Miao quickly handed over the broth she had helped to stew: "This is the broth I stewed for uncle."
Qiao Yu smiled and took the bamboo tube: "Thank you, Miao."
She returned to the cave and saw Shan lying there with a pale face and his eyes closed. Her happy mood suddenly sank.
She gestured for the tree to go out, and when they reached the cave entrance, she softly asked, "What happened to my father? Have you called a witch to check on him?"
Shu nodded. "Wu came to see you just now. He said your father is fine, just tired. He can't work hard right now. He needs to be taken good care of."
Only then did Qiao Yu feel relieved.
She was about to go back to the cave with the tree when she saw Lu and Shi coming towards her.
"Elder Lu, Elder Shi." She greeted them.
Lu Dao: "I have something I want to discuss with your father."
Qiao Yu shook his head. "My father must be exhausted from all that trouble just now. Can you two elders tell me what's going on?"
Just as Lu was about to speak, Xiaoquan came running out of the cave: "Sister, Father asked the two elders to go in and talk."
Qiao Yu had no choice but to lead the two elders in.
Shu knew that the two of them must have come to discuss Yu Zheng becoming the leader. He was very concerned, so he followed them in.
Lu Kanshan's face was pale as he sighed and said, "Alas, I shouldn't have bothered you. But since it concerns Yu and the matter is so urgent, we came to discuss it with you."
Shan nodded and said weakly, "You say."
"As for the chief's affairs, I'm not worried about others, but I'm worried about Huo and Qinglang causing trouble. This father and son are really evil, so I asked Yan to keep an eye on them. As a result, Yan discovered that Huo had just gone to the cave with Hei and many others."
As he spoke, Lu glanced at Qiao Yu.
Yan is Lu's grandson, two years older than Qiao Yu. Because he is handsome, upright, and has a good character, and because Lu's son Yin and the women in his family are both good friends, Shan takes a fancy to him and wants him to be his son-in-law.
Lu had always been interested in Yu, so when he knew Shan had this intention, he was naturally very happy and tried his best to make it happen.
If Shan had not been injured and the original owner had not died, this Yan would most likely have been the original owner's future husband.
Now that Qiao Yu is here, she has decided not to get married, so even though she knows about this connection, she is not curious enough to pay attention to Yan.
She has so much to do, how can she have time to care about men?
"Huo was worried that Hei and the others wouldn't go up and fight Yu, so he went to encourage him?" Shan asked.
Lu nodded, "I guess so."
Shan looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Hei's not as strong as you, right?"
"Of course," Qiao Yu said. "I can kill a tiger with a few punches and uproot a tree that's three arms tall. Can he? Huo is probably worried that Hei will back down after seeing me kill the tiger and uproot the tree today, so he's trying to incite his family, right?"
Shan and Lu looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.
Hei is a simple-minded person. He knows that he is stupid and he will definitely not think of competing with Yu for the position of leader.
But his family was different. If Hei became the leader, his family would gain many benefits. Naturally, they would not be willing to give up. Therefore, Huo had to incite Hei's family to achieve his goal.
They were older and had more experience, so they could think of these things. I didn't expect Yu Xiao to be so young, yet she could think so deeply. She was indeed the most suitable person to be the leader.
Lu nodded: "Hei's Amu is confused, she will definitely be persuaded by Qinglang."
He looked at Shan and then at Qiao Yu: "Do you think I should go to those people's homes too?"
Before Shan could say anything, Qiao Yu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no. I was worried that everyone would refuse to compete because of my strength. Wouldn't that make Father's proposal for tonight's competition a joke? Later, others would talk about it. So not only do I not need to go, I'm actually grateful to Huo for convincing those people to go."
Shan couldn't help but laugh.
He waved to Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu was confused and walked over. When she reached the stone bed, Shan raised his hand and touched her head. "At first, I was worried that you were too young to understand the infighting within the tribe. Now I don't have to worry about that anymore. Just do your best now that you're the leader."
Qiao Yu got anxious when he heard this. "Father, you have to promise me that you'll take care of the tribe's affairs for me. It will be easier for me if you can share the burden. I won't have to lead everyone hunting for food while also managing all the big and small tribal affairs."
She was worried that Shan would commit suicide because he was relieved about his children and thought he was a useless person and didn't want to drag them down.
Shu also said: "That's right. Yu hasn't married or had children yet, so how can you be so relieved?"
"Father, I'm still here. Don't you want to see me grow up?" Koizumi said in a crying voice.
"No." Shan knew that everyone had misunderstood, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly said, "I won't die. Yu is so strong, he will definitely be able to catch more prey to feed Xiaoquan and me."
If he were to die, he would have to wait until his daughter had established herself in the tribe and food was scarce. With the meat he had accumulated this year, there shouldn't be a shortage of food in the winter. He had to live until at least next winter before he could even think about dying.
Who wants to die when they can live?
