Jiang Xue and the people of the Snake Tribe waited and waited, from afternoon to evening, and from evening to midnight. According to the tactics used by the Bear Tribe when they attacked the Snake Tribe before, it was time for them to act.
But they are more patient than Jiang Xue and the others.
They were nowhere to be seen until the rooster crowed and the sun came out the next day.
Although they did not launch an attack on the Snake Tribe, this was not a good sign.
In the morning, Jiang Xue squinted her eyes and looked at the shadowy woods on the other side of the river, her brows furrowed. Could it be that they wanted to play a war of attrition with her?
It was a pity that the tribe's fishing nets were destroyed, and they hadn't repaired them yet, nor did they plan to. If the tribe still had usable nets, they might not be able to outlast him.
Although everyone has been trying their best to store food these days, there are still more than 150 mouths to feed in the tribe!
With so many mouths to feed, even if they only eat one meal a day, they can consume the energy of an ox weighing about two or three hundred pounds.
Jiang Xue washed up by the river, and Aunt Cao had already prepared vegetable soup according to her request.
The vegetable soup is made with wild vegetables picked from the mountains, young potato sprouts and young sweet potato leaves from the fields, and then with pork bones.
The bone soup smells delicious, and it tastes pretty good when stewed with all kinds of vegetables.
Everyone ate a bowl of soup in silence and were about to go to the fields to work as usual when Ziji, with red hair, suddenly appeared outside the trench.
As soon as they saw him, everyone's faces changed. In the end, Mu Feng walked over as usual and greeted the other party.
"I wonder what brings Young Clan Leader Ziji all the way here?"
Zi Ji's narrow eyes swept across the tribe, and finally set his gaze on Jiang Xue. He said quietly, "It seems the rumors are true. The witch of your tribe is indeed a capable person."
Mu Feng didn't like the way he looked at Jiang Xue. His voice was icy and chilling. "Oh, why don't you stay in the Black Water Tribe and come to our Snake Tribe? Don't tell me you're going south again."
Ziji laughed heartily. "Chief Mufeng is truly eloquent. I came here today to tell you that the Bluebird Tribe has determined that Xiaodao's death was caused by your tribe's Snow Witch. If you don't want to sit there and wait for death, hand over the Snow Witch, and we can pretend this incident never happened."
"Oh, Xiaodao from the Bluebird Tribe is dead?" Jiang Xue sneered. "Why would Young Chief Ziji blame me for such a filthy thing? Don't say I haven't seen Xiaodao from the Bluebird Tribe. Even if I have, it doesn't mean I killed him."
As she spoke, she exclaimed in sudden enlightenment, "It seems this was calculated by the witch from the Bluebird Tribe who's good at divination, right?"
Jiang Xue didn't know anything about divination.
She also knew that sometimes things that science couldn't explain could be explained by this kind of metaphysics of ghosts and gods.
Take divination for example. In places where communication is underdeveloped, people like me who hold the title of "witch" often have words that are more effective than imperial edicts.
"This isn't the result of a single witch's divination, but the combined work of all the witches from our four major tribes." Ziji folded his hands lazily. "One witch might not be able to say much, but if four witches work together and all come to the same conclusion, you, the Snow Witch, then this matter is inextricably linked to you."
Jiang Xue frowned.
According to his opinion, each of their four tribes must have at least one witch?
The Bluebird Tribe is indeed one of the largest tribes in the vicinity.
"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'Seeing is believing, hearing is not.'" Jiang Xue said with a smile, "I will only believe what I see with my own eyes. If not, please leave."
"Xue Wu, you know exactly whether this matter has anything to do with you," Zi Ji said. He scanned the tribe again and asked curiously, "You Snake Tribe members are so strange. Why haven't you seen any children?"
He seemed to be observing very carefully, and pointedly pointed out that the gender ratio in their tribe seemed to be wrong. "It seems that there are too few women in your tribe. Could it be that you knew we would attack you and deliberately moved them away?"
Akagi took a step forward and said, "Bullshit! How many people from our tribe have to report to your Blackwater Tribe?"
As soon as Chi Mu came up, he directly greeted the other party's mother. Zi Ji's face immediately turned dark and looked like water was about to drip out of it: "Chief Chi Mu, you don't want to be the chief of the Bear Tribe anymore, but you have to run to the Snake Tribe to be an elder of some useless thing. If your ancestors of the Bear Tribe knew about this, they might come out and point their fingers at you and scold you for being an unfilial son!"
When had Elder Akagi ever suffered such humiliation? He rushed into the cave in a rage, took out a bow, and pointed the arrow at him without saying a word: "Boy, dare to insult me, today I will take your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the arrow in his hand whizzed towards Ziji.
The sudden attack from the Akagi clan leader startled both Mu Feng and Jiang Xue.
They had no time to stop it and could only watch the arrow fly towards Ziji.
Ziji didn't make any movement. He simply stretched out his hand and grabbed the arrow firmly in his hand. "Is this the arrow invented by your Snake Tribe? It's nothing special."
Akagi was furious. If it weren't for Xiaoxi and the others holding his waist tightly, he would have rushed out and fought with the other party for three hundred rounds.
