Jiang Xue is going to farm again!
This time, they planted sweet potatoes that were snatched back from the Black Water Tribe. As soon as she left, a large group of people followed her.
Jiang Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you all following me here? Just go do what you need to do."
It’s just farming, look at how they are doing.
No one was willing to leave. They pushed and shoved each other, but no one showed any intention of leaving.
Jiang Xue simply ignored them: "Well, since you want to come with me, I'll teach you how to do it. Once you learn it, I'll let you plant it. Ah Qing and I still have to go to the bamboo forest."
It is unrealistic to go to the bamboo forest to look for bamboo shoots now.
The bamboo shoots in the Datu tribe have grown into bamboos, and many of the shoot skins have fallen off naturally.
Jiang Xue demonstrated and then left them alone: "If you don't know how, just figure it out on your own. Don't worry, these sweet potato vines haven't died after being soaked in water for such a long time. They won't die if you plant them in the ground either."
But we can’t apply fertilizer for the time being. It seems we will have to make some wooden barrels to pick out the farm manure later.
If you really can't make a wooden barrel, then you can only use the most primitive method, burning wood ash as fertilizer.
Jiang Xue watched them do it a few times and felt that there was no problem, so she took the four girls to the bamboo forest.
Strictly speaking, the tribe is still in short supply of food.
Although Xiaodao looked down on the bamboo shoots that were dried up by the sun, this bamboo forest was also a natural treasure trove.
Not only are there bamboo rats, but there are also pheasants.
Now is a good time for pheasants to hatch chicks. If you don’t come and take advantage of the opportunity now, when will you come?
Even if they can't catch the big pheasant, they can still raise it, taking away the nest and the chicks.
"Listen carefully. As soon as we hear the chirping sound, we will surround it."
The four girls looked at her in bewilderment. "Snow Witch, what is that 'chichichi' sound you're talking about?"
Jiang Xue said, "What do you think I brought you here for? Of course I was looking for chicks!"
Of course, she would not say that finding chicks was their task, but her task was to find those big pheasants.
Now they have no cabbage leaves and no other usable seeds. Even if they have, Jiang Xue is reluctant to give them out.
How could she let the chicken eat something she herself was reluctant to eat first?
Jiang Xue listened attentively for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Listen, there's movement over there."
The four girls listened for a while and looked at her in confusion.
Jiang Xue frowned: "Didn't you hear it?"
They nodded.
"Then follow me, and try to walk lightly. Let's get closer to it and see if we can find their nest."
The four girls seemed very excited and nervous, and they crouched down and moved forward step by step.
Jiang Xue looked at them and immediately found it funny: "Why are you so nervous?"
Ah Qing whispered, "Didn't you ask us to walk softly?"
"You don't have to do this. I want to catch a few more hens to raise."
It is simply unrealistic to rely solely on Xiaopang and the others to dig earthworms to feed the chickens.
It's different from winter now. All we have to do is cut off some of the chicken's flight feathers and tie a hemp rope on its claws so that it doesn't hinder it from walking and digging the soil. Then it won't be able to escape from the tribe's Five Finger Mountain.
When the time comes, let them carry the chicks and fatten them up as much as you want. Even if they want to fly, they won't be able to.
Xiaohua said, "Then why don't we bring bows and arrows?"
Bring a bow and arrow?
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes at her and smacked her on the head. "What are you thinking? I want to live. You brought the bow and arrow here just to satisfy your own appetite!"
Xiaohua looked at her aggrievedly: "Then you can't hit me, don't I know."
Jiang Xue couldn't stand their aggrieved expressions. Seeing her look so pitiful, her heart melted.
But then again, if it were Mu Feng and the others, she would not be soft-hearted at all, and might even give them a few more slaps.
"Alright, alright. The Snow Witch's bullets weren't strong enough," Vanilla consoled Little Flower. "Let's go find the chickens. Once we find them, we'll take them home and raise them. We'll let you have a few extra chicken legs later."
"That's more like it." Xiaohua suddenly changed her mood and laughed, "Sister Xue, I'm going to eat chicken legs all day long from now on."
"Okay, then it depends on how many chicks you can catch." Jiang Xue didn't refuse. "If you catch few, then I can only give you one chicken leg at most."
Xiaohua was about to say something, but Jiang Xue suddenly made a silencing gesture: "Shh, don't say anything, I saw the chicks."
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw a hen with seven or eight chicks digging in the bamboo forest for food.
"Sister Xue, what should we do?"
Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "I'll give them a bath using the Water Ball Technique first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge water ball fell on the hen's head, soaking the hen like a drowned rat.
The hen was frightened and subconsciously spread its wings to escape.
Jiang Xue shot a fireball at its feathers, burning them instantly.
"Quick, go catch the chicken."
Jiang Xue and the four girls worked in the bamboo forest for half a day before returning with a full load.
When they returned to the tribe with a basket full of chicks, Fatty was stunned. He said to Jiang Xue with tears in his eyes, "Witch Snow, we dug for half a day today, but the earthworms we found are still not enough for the chicks in the chicken coop. And you brought back so many chicks. I..."
Jiang Xue frowned slightly when she heard this: "With so many of you, how come you can't dig up the earth dragon?"
Most of the land around here is undeveloped wasteland. There should be so many earthworms that you can never catch them all, right?
Xiaopang pouted: "The chief said that we are still young and he won't let us go too far away from the tribe."
So that's how it is.
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry. After a while, the grass seeds will grow and there will be more insects. You may not be able to catch them all even if you want to."
"So what should we do during this time?"
Jiang Xue frowned, thinking hard, when Aunt Qingshi came over with a handful of snails and clams, smiling: "Axue, your Snake Tribe is still the best. Look at the clams in this river, there are so many that you can't catch them all!"
Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, and she reached out and picked up a snail in her hand and looked at it.
"Got it!" Jiang Xue suddenly shouted, "Xiaopang, take your friends to the lotus pond to catch snails. The more you catch, the better."
Xiaopang looked at her doubtfully: "Touching snails?"
"Don't worry, it's not wrong." Jiang Xue said, and called Dawei over: "Dawei, you go with them too. Remember, don't let them go into the deep water."
Dawei let out a cry, then went out with a backpack carrying a group of little kids.
