Although Jiang Xue lay in bed for three days, it was actually just the first night that was a little scary. On the second day, she used a rejuvenation technique and her cold was completely cured.
But Mu Feng was worried and forced her to stay in bed for three days. He even asked people in the tribe to supervise her. No matter what Jiang Xue said, he just wouldn't let her get up.
If she dared to get up to do anything other than go to the toilet, he would grab whatever she was doing and throw it into the fire.
Jiang Xue refused to accept and was about to argue when everyone in the tribe glared at her.
She was frightened by their stares and had no choice but to lie in bed obediently for three days.
After three days, she couldn't wait to continue making her bow and arrow.
The people in the tribe are a good thing. As long as she prepares to make something, no one will touch it no matter where she puts it.
Look, the bamboo piece that had not been processed properly was now made smooth and tidy by someone and was quietly placed in the backpack beside her bed. There were actually more than a dozen pieces in the basket.
She picked up a piece and looked at it again, recalling the shape of a bow and arrow. She walked over to the fire and roasted it, then bent it into an arc and carved grooves on both ends with a stone knife. Looking at the dozen or so extra bamboo pieces, she frowned and thought for a moment. She took another piece and roasted it, treating it in the same way. Once the fire had roughly roasted it, she took out a thin hemp rope, stacked two bamboo pieces of similar width together, and then slowly wrapped the rope around them.
Although the "Heavenly Creations" in her hand clearly mentioned the method of making a bow, she lived in the era of artificial intelligence and had only seen most ice-cold instruments in some competition venues.
Even though she had played with a bow, it didn't mean she could make one.
She tinkered with this for a whole day, until Mu Feng brought her a bowl of chicken soup, and she put down the unfinished product in her hand.
Mu Feng looked at the bow in her hand, took it in his hand and asked, "What are you doing?"
The chicken soup was cooked according to Jiang Xue's requirements. The chicken soup was very fragrant, the meat was tender, and a layer of light yellow chicken fat floated on top.
She picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup. The hot soup seeped into her limbs and she immediately felt extremely comfortable.
"I'm working on a bow and arrow. The mountains are snowed in now, so I figured I'd make a few while I still have time, just in case."
"Are you too nervous? Our tribe is very safe now, there will be no problems."
Jiang Xue shook her head. "Before, when the river wasn't frozen, it was safe. But now that it's frozen, it's no longer safe."
The ice on the river was very thick, making it easy for both humans and wild animals to cross. Wild animals were easy to deal with, as they would at most take away one or two sheep. However, if the enemy attacked from that side, their problem would not only be the loss of a few sheep, but also the loss of several people.
After hearing Mu Feng say that it was safe, Jiang Xue stopped drinking the soup. She put down the bowl in her hand and pulled him out.
Walking to the river, she pointed at the surface and said, "Look for yourself, there's a forest on the other side of the river. You know what's in the forest without me telling you. We should also add a defensive wall here! Whether it's chevaux de frise or something else, it's indispensable. Not to mention wild beasts, if the Eagle Tribe attacks us, we can't afford any losses!"
When Mu Feng heard this, he hurried to check it out.
Jiang Xue watched him stomping his feet hard on the river surface, as if testing whether the ice was solid or not. She smiled slightly and turned her head to see the Wolf King lying under the tree.
She lay in the cave for three days, and the white wolf starved under the tree for three days.
As soon as she approached it, the white wolf growled at her.
Jiang Xue returned to the cave, took a piece of smoked meat and threw it in front of it: "You should know that your people are all dead. If you hadn't insisted on hunting me down, I wouldn't have killed your people."
The white wolf seemed to understand her words and roared more urgently.
"So, you understand what I'm saying?" Jiang Xue said. "Since you understand, I'll tell you clearly that I captured you because I want to keep you in our tribe. If you agree, blink once, and I'll heal you. If you disagree, blink twice. But I have to tell you, even if you disagree, I won't kill you."
The white wolf stared at her.
Jiang Xue frowned: "What do you mean? Just tell me the truth."
The white wolf growled at her softly.
"If that's the case, you don't want me to save you. I see you've been hungry for three days. In that case..." Jiang Xue swept towards its belly. She had hit its waist before. People say wolves have thin waists. She couldn't quite remember whether she hit it two or three times, but it was not easy for it to hold on until now.
But this also indirectly shows that this wolf's physique must be stronger than other wolves.
"Well, in that case, let's just wait and see."
After saying that, she walked towards the river behind.
Seeing her coming over, Mu Feng frowned and said to her, "Axue, you are right. If someone really wants to kill us from here, we may not be able to hold on."
Jiang Xuecui stood on the ice, and saw the river water gurgling below through the ice. She looked up at both ends of the river.
There was no movement at both ends of the river, just a vast expanse of white, and it was very quiet.
She glanced across the river again.
That side was also covered with heavy snow, and there seemed to be nothing worthy of special attention.
Then, she turned her gaze to the barricades that had been built long ago and placed under the earth walls on the east and west sides.
"A thorn wall here won't survive. Why don't we put up a few more chevaux de frise?" Jiang Xue said. "If trees are hard to cut, we can cut bamboo. The bigger and taller the chevaux de frise, the better!" Thinking again, if it were to keep out wild animals, she added, "The spacing should be even closer."
Mu Feng raised his eyebrows: "Axue, are you overthinking it? We have lived here for so long, and no wild beast has ever come from the ice to attack us."
Jiang Xue disagreed with him: "Let's do something. It's better to be safe than sorry. Before, we didn't have goats here except for humans, but now we still have goats. Do you want to wait until the goats are taken away by wild beasts before doing it?"
It's too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost!
Chi Mu happened to be running over carrying some wood. When he heard her say that, he shouted, "Brother Mu Feng, listen to Snow Witch. She's a witch with many tricks. Even if we don't think about ourselves, we should think about the elderly and pregnant women in the tribe."
Mu Feng frowned: "But we have lived here for so many years and nothing has happened..."
"What the Snow Witch said just now is right. That's because you don't have much food in winter. Come to the sheepfold and smell it. You know how strong the smell is. If a wild beast really comes, it will be too late for you to do anything then."
