Chapter 49 How could the roof collapse?



The weather was getting colder and the snow was falling heavier. In one night, the sky and the earth were covered in white.

A thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river, and Jiang Xue did not allow them to go fishing. Instead, she asked them to stay in the cave and cut bamboo strips for armor, twist ropes, and weave straw sandals.

The bamboo strips piled up more and more, and the ropes were twisted more and more. Jiang Xue had already made a complete set of armor using hemp ropes and bamboo strips.

The armor looks as majestic as it can be when worn by Mu Feng.

At Jiang Xue's request, Mu Feng even took a stone spear and performed an impromptu performance in the cave.

Jiang Xue looked at his handsome and tall figure hidden in the green bamboo armor, with only a pair of dark eyes showing, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Apart from the fact that he is green, if you just look at his personal performance show, you can't say that he is quite good at it.

As you move your hands and feet, you can hear the sound of bamboo strips hitting each other.

It’s just a pity that they couldn’t find the materials to make a breastplate.

The two tribes were getting along better and better, even cracking jokes at each other. As long as they didn't get into a fight and didn't damage the harmony between the two tribes, she would turn a blind eye.

They also have to calculate the days to eat the sheep they catch. Now they kill one every three days. If they wait a while longer, they will probably have to kill one every five days.

Sixty or seventy sheep may seem like a lot, but when it comes to eating them...

Jiang Xue was still worried that the food wouldn't last until next spring.

The cabbages in the field have already been separated into seedlings.

The area of ​​the cabbage field after the seedlings were divided doubled. Looking at the green cabbages, Jiang Xue was full of joy. She even used the discarded young seedlings to stir-fry them with lard on the day of the seedling division and satisfied her craving.

Xiaohua has always been her follower. No matter what she eats, Xiaohua always comes to grab it when she is not paying attention.

After eating cabbage once, this girl became obsessed with it and would constantly pester Jiang Xue for more. She even told Jiang Xue confidently that if she wasn't afraid of her anger, she would have secretly gone to the fields to pick cabbage and cooked it.

Jiang Xue smiled and reached out to pat her hand.

The girl got so angry that she started throwing a tantrum and demanding to eat cabbage as compensation.

Jiang Xue's face turned dark, and Xiaohua said hesitantly that she didn't really need to eat it, she just wanted to eat the cabbage stalks.

Jiang Xue laughed angrily and raised her hand again. This time, before her hand fell, Xiaohua jumped away with a smile.

The radishes are also growing very well. They are planted about ten days later than the cabbages, but they are also trying hard to grow. I see tender sprouts emerging from the ground, and in the blink of an eye they have grown into a lush green field, changing almost every day.

Ah Qing and Xiao Hua would go for a walk around the fields and take a look every day without being told.

In Jiang Xue's words, they were afraid that some animals would destroy the cabbage field, but the two of them watched it day after day. In the end, Jiang Xue heard Ah Qing complain that Xiaohua once secretly broke off a piece of cabbage stalk in the field and ate it raw.

Jiang Xue was completely speechless towards her.

When Jiang Xue had nothing to do, she would randomly check in here and there.

For example, yesterday, the place she randomly checked in was where the goats gathered. After checking in, she saw that the system boss rewarded her with a bottle of frostbite cream.

She looked at the bottle of frostbite cream and sighed softly in her heart.

Such a small bottle of ointment is not enough at all. There are many people suffering from frostbite in the tribe now. If you have to apply it, this bottle may not be able to cure even one person's frostbite.

So, these days they obediently followed Jiang Xue's arrangements, staying in the cave to roast fire, twist hemp ropes, and grind bamboo strips, and not going anywhere except to the toilet.

After one or two more snowfalls, the river surface was already sealed by a thick layer of ice, which prevented them from getting water. So they simply took clay pots and jugs, scooped up clean snow, and melted it by the fire before using it.

From time to time, on the thorn wall, there was a slight crackling sound as branches were weighed down by the snow.

As the days passed, the snow fell day by day, and the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker. After one or two more snowfalls, the snow had reached the calves, and it became increasingly difficult to walk outside.

Despite this, Jiang Xue still walked through the thick snow and signed in randomly everywhere without fail.

Everyone is lazy, and this is fully reflected in the tribesmen.

The longer they stayed in the cave, the less they wanted to move, to the point where even something as trivial as going to the woodshed outside to move firewood could cause them to argue for half a day.

Jiang Xue saw this and suddenly felt a surge of nameless anger in her heart.

There is no order without rules. Jiang Xue felt that it was time to formulate some rules, but she had no idea yet.

In addition, she has not forgotten to make more lethal weapons.

Stone knives, stone axes, stone spears, etc. are all just good-looking but useless. They have a short service life and are very easy to damage.

Take the present for example, there is a thin layer of icicles on the bark of the trees, as if the trees were wearing a transparent dress, making it more difficult for them to chop firewood.

It's hard enough to cut down a tree, how durable can you expect this stone knife and stone axe to be?

Fortunately, they had chopped a lot of firewood and stored it in the woodshed, which was enough for emergencies.

It's cold during the day, not to mention at night.

During the night rest period, three bonfires were lit in the cave to ensure the temperature inside.

As a result, their firewood became increasingly scarce.

The number of sheep in the sheepfold was decreasing day by day. Jiang Xue went to count them specially. There were originally sixty or seventy sheep, but now there were only more than fifty left.
