"I believe my own eyes." He saw it with his own eyes, and there was no benefit in lying to him. Jiang Xue was a little unhappy and said, "Let's look carefully again."

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she began to search carefully.

Mu Feng didn't say anything else and started looking too. Soon he heard him excitedly shouting, "Axue, they are here!"

Jiang Xue hurried over and saw that there was actually a cave inside. However, the entrance to the cave was relatively small and was blocked by vegetation. If they hadn't been calling inside, she would not have been able to find them for a while.

Looking at the cave, Jiang Xue took off her backpack and lay on the ground, intending to crawl in.

Mu Feng grabbed her and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'll go in and bring them up, you stay here to help."

"What if there's danger inside..."

"The biggest danger is being gored by a ewe, but I can handle that little injury."

After saying that, Jiang Xue climbed in quickly despite Mu Feng's obstruction.

The cave was dark, but warm.

As soon as she entered the cave, Jiang Xue discovered that although the entrance was small, the space inside was actually quite large.

The cave was very dark, so she didn't rush in. Instead, she squatted at the entrance and said to Mu Feng outside, "Mu Feng, light a torch for me. It's too dark in here, I can't see clearly."

It was Mu Feng's habit to take flint with him when he went out. When he heard what Jiang Xue said, he immediately said, "Okay, then don't worry. I'll go find some grass right away."

Soon, Mu Feng handed in a burning torch. Jiang Xue held up the torch and took a look. She was immediately happy again. She shouted excitedly, "Mu Feng, besides the two ewes, there are more than a dozen lambs here. Go find someone to pick up the lambs!"

On average, a ewe gives birth to three to five lambs per litter. There are fourteen lambs here, which means that there are at least five ewes in the flock that are in the lactation period.

So, if these ewes could be kept in separate pens and they could be stimulated to continuously secrete milk, wouldn't I have goat's milk to drink?

If their milk production is high and can keep up, the nutrition of children and pregnant women in the tribe will be greatly improved.

"Okay, I'll go right away, don't move."

The sudden appearance of fire stimulated the sheep that stayed inside and did not go out, and they suddenly started screaming at the top of their lungs.

Jiang Xue blocked the entrance of the cave. With a torch in her hand, she was not afraid of the ewes coming to butt her, nor was she worried about them escaping.

If they want to shout, let them shout as they please.

Mu Feng came back very quickly. It was thanks to Jiang Xue's foresight that she brought several backpacks with her. If she hadn't brought the backpacks, she wouldn't have been able to catch all the sheep here.

Jiang Xue handed them out one by one and didn't want to mix them.

If they are mixed, the mother sheep may not feed the lambs because the smell is not right, and then all the effort they put into catching the sheep will be wasted.

The lambs were easy to get out, but the two ewes were a bit tricky.

Jiang Xue struggled for a long time before finally tying the hemp rope around the ewe's neck. She then dragged it to the cave entrance, threw the rope outside, and told the people outside to pick it up and pull it while she pushed from behind. It took everyone's combined efforts to get the two stubborn ewes out.

When Jiang Xue crawled out of the cave covered in dust and dirt, Mu Feng's heart suddenly began to tremble. He asked anxiously, "Xue, you..."

Jiang Xue patted the dirt and sheep dung off her body and said nonchalantly, "I'm fine, it just stinks inside. I'll just take a shower when I get home."

Mu Feng became even more uneasy: "But the river is almost frozen now, you..."

Jiang Xue chuckled: "It's okay, I'll boil some hot water and go to the bathroom to wash up."

It is said to be washing, but it is actually wiping.

They now have no wooden tubs for bathing, and only clay pots are used to boil water.

A clay pot of water was definitely not enough for her, but the most important thing was the wooden basin.

If possible, we should make some wooden tubs, otherwise it will be difficult to take a bath in winter.

To make something like a wooden basin, you must have a series of woodworking-related tools such as a wood drill and a saw. There is no white glue now, so if you want to use something to stick the wooden boards together, you can only use wooden nails or mortise and tenon structures.

The most commonly used tool for mortise and tenon structure is the chisel, but the tribe didn't even find iron ore, so making these things was simply a fantasy.

After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she said to them, "How are things going? Have you caught all the sheep over there?"

The topic returned to the goats, and everyone became excited again: "Snow Witch, you are really smart. How did you come up with this method to catch goats?"

"Now that we have dozens more sheep, we won't have to worry about food this winter."

“…”

Jiang Xue took the lead, and they started talking one after another.

Jiang Xue just smiled and said, "Okay, let's check it again. If there are no mistakes, we will go back."

This time, they caught the sheep and destroyed their nests in one go. If this had happened in the past, they would not even dare to think about it.

"So what do we do with these lambs? Do we take them home to eat?"

Jiang Xue glared at the person who spoke. "What are you thinking? Aren't all those big sheep enough for you to eat? We need to raise these lambs. I've made a promise: starting tomorrow, you'll be responsible for their fodder."

The man was scolded by Jiang Xue and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Snow Witch is right, I will get them food tomorrow."

In the morning, they went out in a large group with their things. Before evening, they either carried sheep on wooden heads or lambs on their backs in baskets, and returned to the tribe with a lot of harvest.
