It took Jiang Xue two days to dig the trap until it met her requirements. After digging, she covered the trap with grass, vines, branches, etc.

The number of sheep was too large, and one trap was obviously not enough. When this trap was completed, she directed everyone to dig a trap of the same size on the other side.

In order to prevent her own people from falling, Jiang Xue specially inserted a stick near the trap as a warning sign.

After the trap was dug, she rushed back to check the progress of the pigpen.

The main structure of the new pigsty has been completed. This pigsty is even larger than the previous one, and it is more than enough to keep 60 or 70 sheep. However, only the walls of the pigsty have been built yet, and the roof has not yet been started.

Seeing that the progress of the pigpen was nearing completion, Jiang Xue was not in a hurry anymore. At this point, she could wait until the sheep were caught and then deal with it slowly.

The next morning after breakfast, she held a mobilization meeting.

It is not realistic to mobilize all the men in the tribe to catch a goat. She has not forgotten that there is an Eagle Tribe lurking in the dark. If only the elderly, women and children are left in the tribe, if the people of the Eagle Tribe take advantage of this time to kill them, they will not have enough ability to protect themselves.

She examined the rope again.

The rope was made of ramie, a string of several thin hemp ropes twisted together into a finger-thick rope. It was very strong. Even if Mu Feng and Akagi each pulled the rope a pair of times, they couldn't break it after pulling for a long time.

After discussion, the dozen or so men who stayed behind in the tribe protected the women and children and built the roof of the pigpen, while the others followed Jiang Xue to catch goats.

Before leaving, Jiang Xue filled a pottery pot with water, threw in a handful of salt, and then carried a backpack and led the group towards the gathering place of the goats.

When they arrived at the goat gathering place, she asked people to collect some vines and branches that the goats couldn't eat, sprinkled salt water on them, and threw them randomly from the goat gathering place, throwing them in two directions to the two traps.

After doing all this, there was still a lot of salt water left in the pottery pot. Jiang Xue didn't hesitate and poured some on the branches and leaves above the trap.

Then she had people lurk around the trap and wait quietly.

They couldn't go in and alert the snakes. If they ran in to drive the sheep, the sheep would be frightened and run away in all directions. Then they wouldn't be able to catch the sheep, and they might not even get any wool.

So they had no choice but to wait.

Waiting for sheep to take bait in winter is not a wise move.

The wind was strong in the mountains, and they hid in the dark. Even in the leeward side, the cold wind mixed with floating snow blew into Jiang Xue's necks, and she shivered with cold.

Mu Feng noticed her abnormality and stood silently behind her to block the wind for her.

Sheep are timid by nature and they remain vigilant at all times even in their familiar territories.

Jiang Xue and his men hid far away. Time passed little by little, until the afternoon when two or three sheep came out of the gathering place and began to look for dry leaves and vines to eat.

As it was eating, it suddenly turned around and bleated, and the sheep around it surrounded it.

The more they ate, the more excited they became, and from time to time they made bleating sounds, which soon attracted more sheep to come out from the gathering place.

As the number of sheep increased, the leaves thrown nearby were not enough for them to eat, so they began to follow the route set by Jiang Xue and split into two groups to grab the leaves with salt water.

There was a lot of commotion here, and suddenly a sheep with particularly large horns jumped out from the gathering place. As soon as it appeared, the other sheep automatically gave way and started to eat from its body.

Jiang Xue knew that this should be the leader of the flock.

As long as you catch the head sheep, the rest will be easy to catch.

She whispered, "Come on, the sheep are coming."

Jiang Xue was a little anxious, but now that her salt water attack had begun to show results, they could only be patient and compete with the sheep in patience.

More and more sheep came to eat the salt-water leaves. They couldn't see how many sheep were left in their territory from where they were hiding, but it was certain that there probably weren't many left.

Jiang Xue pursed her lips and smiled, lowering her voice and saying, "Originally, I thought I'd have to try a few more times, but now it seems I can catch them all in one fell swoop."

Mu Feng suddenly reached out and held her hand: "Axue, why are your hands so cold?"

Jiang Xue pulled her hand away: "Stop it!"

Now it has come to this critical moment, and he still has the time to talk about other random things. He is so idle.

Mu Feng was frustrated, but he didn't care much. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the sheep that were walking in a mess with a worried look.

Suddenly, someone pointed to the trap dug at the back and said excitedly: "I just saw a sheep fall into it!"

His words excited everyone. Just as they were about to take action, Jiang Xue scolded them, "Why rush? I put some fodder in the trap. If you get out now and scare the sheep away, I'll hold you accountable!"

Everyone had to suppress their excitement and watch the sheep fall into the trap from time to time.

They waited a little longer until all the sheep near the trap fell into it. When no more sheep came out of the gathering place, Jiang Xue said, "Let's go catch the sheep."

Then everyone came to the trap and looked at the more than 20 sheep in the trap, and they danced with excitement.

"What are you doing? Go catch sheep!"

Jiang Xue's words woke them up from their dreams, and someone immediately jumped in. However, as soon as that person jumped in, he immediately became the target of the leader's attack.

Jiang Xue said without hesitation: "Hit! Watch out for whichever sheep butts him and hit them. Be sure not to hurt any of your own people."
