Seeing the snowflakes falling, Mufeng and Akagi looked at each other and said worriedly, "This cold season has come much earlier than before!"
There are currently 127 people in the tribe, and they need a lot of food every day when they open their eyes. If they don’t store enough food now, they won’t be able to survive this cold season!
Jiang Xue looked at the worried tribesmen and felt a little anxious.
She thought for a long time, then turned and went into the cave to count the food.
In the past few days, almost all the men went out hunting, and the amount of prey they caught was very considerable.
More than 340 animal skins of various sizes were added, and thousands of pickled fish and meat were hung at the entrance of the cave. The amount of fruit was the least, with only six and a half baskets in total.
There are now 127 people in the tribe. Even if each person only eats one pound of food a day, this food can only last for a month at most.
After Jiang Xue finished counting the supplies, she said to them, "The food we have is still too little. Why don't we take advantage of the heavy snow before the mountain closes in and go hunting for prey."
Mu Feng looked at her: "Targeted hunting? Where does that come from?"
Jiang Xue thought for a moment and asked, "Where did you catch the goat last time? Can you take me there to have a look?"
Mu Feng immediately called seven or eight people and walked towards the gathering place of the goats.
The goats' gathering place is not too far from the territory of the snake tribe, living at the junction of the forest and the stone mountain.
When they were about to reach the goats' habitat, Mu Feng stopped everyone from moving forward: "Don't get any closer. If you get any closer, it will easily scare them away."
Jiang Xue nodded and stood in the woods observing the goats.
"I never thought there would be so many goats in this herd."
A rough count of the goats revealed that there were as many as sixty or seventy of them. If they could capture all of them, the tribe would not be short of food this winter.
"Yes, there were originally more. We killed several a few days ago and carried them away. Have you forgotten?"
Jiang Xue said, "I haven't forgotten. It was the day when Chief Akagi and his men arrived that you carried three sheep back."
"Then do you have any better way to catch them back?"
Jiang Xue didn't say anything, her eyes just staring at the goats that appeared and disappeared in the woods.
Goats in the wild are not short of food in winter. They stroll leisurely in the woods, occasionally lowering their heads to bite a few leaves, or lowering their heads to eat the yellow moss, dry grass and dead branches on the ground.
Everything seems so peaceful.
Suddenly, Jiang Xue discovered that several goats had run to the rocky mountain and were licking the rocks.
"Hey, why did those sheep run up to the rock wall?" Jiang Xue pointed at the sheep and said, "There's no grass there."
When faced with her question, no one could answer it.
Jiang Xue vaguely felt that she had overlooked something, but she just couldn't remember it.
It took them a long time to figure out the goats' walking path.
Seeing them graze on the cliffside, even at the risk of their lives, and occasionally licking the rocks, Jiang Xue suddenly understood why the goats licked the rocks. Having achieved their goal for the day, she felt 70% confident: "Let's go back. I have a way to capture them all alive."
But before capturing them alive, she asked the tribesmen to produce a large amount of hemp rope.
Although straw rope is thick enough, hemp rope is more durable in comparison.
"What can you do?"
"Just trust me. Let's go back and make some more tools."
Mu Feng and the others have become accustomed to her always saying that she wants to make some tools.
Moreover, as long as she said she wanted to make a tool, she would definitely make it.
He believed in her unconditionally.
After leaving the goat's territory, Jiang Xue asked, "Mu Feng, will those sheep stay there forever? Won't they run away?"
"They may leave when the weather gets hot, but they probably won't leave now," said Mu Feng.
"Why?"
"Because the terrain there is low, it is very suitable for them to live in."
Jiang Xue only understood half of what he said. She really couldn't figure out any direct connection between the low terrain and the goats' unwillingness to leave.
"That's good. I'll study it when I get back. When I make the tools I need, we can come back to catch the goats."
Mu Feng looked at her confident look and was delighted: "Axue, can you really catch them? But they run very fast!"
Jiang Xue curled her lips and said, "I have a clever plan. You'll know when the time comes. But I have to be frank. You must cooperate with me and don't accuse me of being wasteful."
Mu Feng rubbed his head in a simple and honest manner: "Of course, as long as we can catch the goat, I will do whatever you say."
Does he listen to himself in everything?
Jiang Xue glanced at him. This man would never tell lies in front of her. If he said he would listen to her, then he would definitely cooperate with her unconditionally.
After returning to the tribe, she began to read "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature".
This is the book she got during her ninetieth-day sign-in.
That day, the system boss was unusually generous and gave her two books, one was "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" and the other was "Essential Techniques for the People".
In her opinion, these two books are like a timely help.
What the tribe needs most now are books on agriculture, handicrafts and medicine. She is even fantasizing whether the system will reward her with "Compendium of Materia Medica" on the 100th day.
She herself did not know any herbs. If she had a book with pictures and text for reference, perhaps if someone in the tribe fell ill, she would not have to work so hard to perform rejuvenation techniques.
