Xiaoxi has carried back some of the bamboo he had cut and piled it up by the trench, while the large amount of bamboo from the tribe is still in the bamboo forest.
Without being told, Asongbo and his men began to chop and break bamboo and weave various objects.
Aunt Qingshi wanted to see the fun, so she had been watching them break the bamboo since they started. When she felt like trying something new, she wanted to try it herself.
In the afternoon, Elder Akagi and his men returned excitedly, saying that they had found a flock of sheep with more than twenty sheep in the direction where the sun was setting.
There are more than twenty of them. It may not seem like a lot, but it’s better than nothing.
Jiang Xue nodded. "I won't interfere with catching the sheep this time. You can catch them the same way I did before. Our pottery was smashed by the knives, but there should be some that weren't completely broken. You can just find some jars with water in them."
Akagi nodded, "Hey, haven't the clan leader and the others returned yet?"
Jiang Xue nodded: "He hasn't come back yet."
This is how they always hunt. Sometimes if they are lucky, they can come back in half a day. If they are unlucky, they may have to spend the night in the mountains.
"Then I'll bring people there tomorrow."
"Okay," Jiang Xue nodded, and called over the people who had been digging today: "How are you doing with what I asked you to do today?"
If they level the ground, they can go there and plant rice tomorrow.
This is a big project. Although it is only about one acre of land, seeing that the people in the tribe are curious about everything, I guess everyone will want to go to the fields to work tomorrow.
"The ground is leveled."
"Did you put water in?"
The woman was stunned: "But Snow Witch, you didn't say you wanted to let me go?"
Jiang Xue said, "It's okay, we can go over and fill the water now."
Now that the tribe has hoes, digging ditches is much easier.
It’s not like before, when we used branches to dig ditches and had to soak the ground with water before we could dig.
Now as long as you have some strength, you can do this job quickly.
Fortunately, that acre of land is next to the rice field and the trench. To irrigate it, all you have to do is dig a hole in the trench and let the water flow down.
"Tomorrow the water diversion ditch in the tribe needs to be widened and deepened, otherwise the rice won't grow."
As Jiang Xue spoke, she dug twice with a hoe. Everyone still found it strange, so they snatched the hoe from her hand again and started digging.
When the sky was covered with fiery clouds, Mu Feng rushed back with the hunting team and the archer team.
They had a good harvest, hunting a big wild boar, two small wild boars, an elk with huge antlers and seven or eight muntjacs.
"This deer antler is a great thing!" Jiang Xue fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. "In the future, let's build a gate here like the Bluebird Tribe and hang this deer head on it."
This deer antler looks extremely domineering. When it is installed on the door lintel as a decoration, it will be as majestic as possible.
Mu Feng looked at her and said, "Axue, I heard that this deer antler is a valuable item. Are you sure you want to hang it up?"
"Why don't you hang up?"
Deer antlers are useless now anyway, and they are not deer antlers, although they both have the effect of strengthening bones and tendons and warming kidney yang. However, deer antlers are more effective in warming kidney yang and their medicinal properties are more potent.
Speaking of deer antlers, Jiang Xue thought of the wild ginseng she had picked near the Heishui tribe.
Ever since the package allowed her to put things in it, she always felt that her things were not safe no matter where she put them. The safest place was naturally the system's package.
If you leave them there, you won't have to worry about them being eaten by insects or spoiling or getting moldy.
There is no need to worry about them being stolen.
"Okay, since you like it, then I'll do as you say." Mu Feng looked at her lovingly and suddenly whispered in her ear, "Axue, how about we go to the bamboo forest tonight..."
As he spoke, he smiled mischievously at her.
As clever as Jiang Xue was, the moment she saw her mischievous smile, she knew he had no good intentions. She beckoned him with a finger, and Mu Feng leaned closer. Jiang Xue…twisted his ear and angrily scolded him, “What are you thinking about all day long, you little brat?”
The smile on Mu Feng's face froze instantly. He knew this would be the outcome.
He begged for mercy from Jiang Xue while shouting, "Ah, ah, be gentle, be gentle, it hurts!"
"Do you know the pain? I think your wings are hard and your bones are itchy. You're asking for a beating!"
After Jiang Xue yelled, she let him go and stared at him fiercely.
Mu Feng rubbed his ears, which had been twisted red by her, with a pitiful look on his face, and muttered, "I just want to go to the bamboo forest with you to find some bamboo rats..."
"You're kidding me! Who would go to the bamboo forest to catch bamboo rats so late at night?"
This damn place is relatively safe at night, but who wants to go to the bamboo forest with him in the dark?
Nowadays, small woods and bamboo forests have long been destroyed by people!
Jiang Xue glared at him angrily, and thought of the snails and river clams that Xiaopang and the others had brought back from the lotus pond in the afternoon.
This thing can't be cooked and eaten yet, but her original intention was to get them more food for the chicks.
There are plenty of snails, clams and other animals in rivers and ponds, so you don’t have to worry about catching them all.
If Ah Cai had not believed Zi Ji's words and tore her fishing net, they might still be able to feed the chickens with fish meat.
Of course, river clams and snails used to feed chickens cannot be thrown into the chicken coop. They have to be smashed with stones or hammers.
As for the shells, chickens don't have teeth, so they rely on small stones and sand to grind food, and these shells can also serve this purpose.
She ignored Mufeng and spent half a day smashing snails with a hammer, but she couldn't even fill a bowl. Xiaopang and the others saw Jiang Xue having fun, so they picked up a stone and helped Jiang Xue smash the snails without a hammer.
"Sister Axue, what are you going to do with these things?"
"Feed the chickens."
Xiaopang's eyes widened: "Chickens eat this?"
“Chickens eat everything.”
"I don't believe it."
"If you don't believe me, you can sprinkle these things into the chicken coop and see if they will eat them."
Seeing the snails, Jiang Xue suddenly remembered the hopscotch game she played in the orphanage when she was a child.
At that time, they didn't have much money and couldn't afford expensive toys. Finally, they found snail shells discarded by night snack stalls in the garbage dump, strung them together with nylon ropes, and used them for hopscotch.
She suddenly became playful and called Xiaopang over: "Xiaopang, go find a thin hemp rope and I'll make a toy for you."
Xiaopang looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant.
Xiaohua slapped him on the head and said, "Go quickly. Can Sister Xue fool you?"
Xiaopang finally reacted and ran into the cave happily, took a rope and ran over.
Since Jiang Xue planned to play hopscotch, she couldn't just smash the snails with a hammer. She had to cut their butts first and then dig out their meat.
