It was just that the three pheasants were startled by the sound of the water ball hitting the ground, and they flew away one after another with a cluck.
Jiang Xue was not discouraged. She crouched down and carefully searched for pheasants in the bamboo forest.
Then, water balls were thrown onto the bamboos and into the bamboo forest one after another as if they were free. Mu Feng and his tribesmen acted as if they were picking pheasants.
After throwing more than a dozen water ball spells in a row, Jiang Xue was exhausted. She waved her hands and said, "No more. I'm too tired."
"You've thrown twelve water balloons in total. This is probably your limit. If you practice like this every day, you should be able to throw more water balloons in the future."
Jiang Xue looked at him, confusion flashing in her eyes.
People like Xiaohua can't even count, and even Jiang Xue only knows roughly how many water balls she has thrown. But Mufeng can tell himself exactly how many water balls he has thrown.
"Have you counted them all?"
"I've counted them, and we got more than twelve pheasants." Mu Feng pointed to the pile of pheasants on the ground, "Look over there, there must be at least fifteen."
Jiang Xue nodded. There were so many pheasants, but she only brought one backpack with her. How was she going to take them back?
Mu Feng seemed to see through her thoughts, "Don't worry about the pheasant, we are here for you."
Jiang Xue looked at the tribesmen in the woods and stopped insisting: "Okay, then you can take me back. I really don't want to move now."
Mu Feng didn't say much, he just reached out and patted him on the head: "Thank you for your hard work. If you want to practice in the future, we can come here again."
Jiang Xue looked at him puzzledly: "How do you know that witchcraft is practiced this way?"
Mu Feng laughed and said, "Didn't I tell you that at our most glorious moment, our Snake Tribe had over 130 members? But our shaman died without a successor, and we lost our shaman. Coupled with Pingyuan's betrayal, we gradually degenerated from a tribe of over 130 to the 50 or 60 we had when you arrived."
"Though things are a little better now, with over 120 people, we haven't reached our peak. Ah Xue, whether the Snake Tribe can grow stronger again depends on you."
Jiang Xue suddenly felt a huge pressure on her shoulders.
"Why me?"
"You're the only witch, and you even knew how to build pig pens, toilets, and even thorn walls and chevaux de frise, things we've never seen before. If I don't even trust you, then our tribe will truly be suppressed by the Eagle Tribe."
Jiang Xue chuckled and asked, "Since you mentioned the Eagle Tribe, have you ever thought about fighting back?"
Mu Feng listened and looked at her with burning eyes. "Axue, I've been waiting for you to say this. You know how many women in our tribe have been snatched away by Pingyuan to the Eagle Tribe. Although Pingyuan can come and go freely in the Eagle Tribe, the women certainly can't."
Mu Feng could easily guess what would happen to the women who were captured by Pingyuan, not to mention the men.
Jiang Xue frowned: "But we don't know if there are other witches in the Eagle Tribe. If there are, how are we going to deal with them?"
What if someone is like the witch who used witchcraft to hurt people when they have a disagreement with him yesterday? There is only one witch in the tribe. What should I do?
"Witches are not that easy to find. Although they can find and persuade witches to join them, their number is definitely not large."
"That doesn't make sense, does it?" Jiang Xue said, "If they have a few witches, and they send the weakest one to spy on us, that's not impossible."
"That's a possibility..."
"So, Mufeng, we made a lot of bows and arrows yesterday. Starting today, let's let them practice with them." Jiang Xue thought for a moment and said, "I'll also make a few more targets for them to practice on."
The target could also be made by gathering thatch and weaving it into braids, coiling it up in circles. If one layer wasn't enough, she would stack a few more layers and place them in an open area for the tribesmen to practice every day. She didn't believe that a tribe of more than 10 or 20 people couldn't find anyone with archery talent.
Mu Feng said without hesitation: "If that's the case, our strength is now dispersed a lot."
"What's wrong with being dispersed in normal times and united when needed?"
"But didn't you say that we needed to allocate some manpower to cultivate the farmland?"
"I do have this idea, but cultivating farmland doesn't conflict with their practice."
Mu Feng mused, "Since you say so, then this matter is settled."
Mu Feng directed everyone to carry the cut bamboos, and each person tied two or three pheasants on their waists with grass.
Jiang Xue watched them bring the pheasant back in this way and was immediately amused: "This is a good idea."
It’s a pity about her shovel!
After returning, we have to reinforce it again.
After returning to the tribe, Jiang Xue took a few women to cut grass.
The grass is not easy to cut in winter. In autumn, the dry weeds stand upright in the wilderness, but in winter, when heavy snow falls, the weeds can't withstand the pressure and are all crushed down.
They had to bend down to mow the grass, and after mowing they had to shake off the remaining snow.
Jiang Xue was afraid of the cold, and her hands turned red with cold after she had been cutting for a short while. If she had continued cutting for a longer time, her hands would have become numb from the cold.
After cutting the grass, I returned to the cave and started weaving.
It is much faster to weave a straw braid than to weave a backpack or something like that.
After weaving the straw braid, she began to use a fishbone needle to thread a thin hemp rope, winding the straw braid up little by little. To make it look good, Jiang Xue even smeared a circle of soda around the center of the target.
Whether it is round or not is another matter. Life always needs a sense of ritual, and this sense of ritual is reflected in all aspects.
Soon, an archery target was born. Then, Jiang Xue tied it to a bamboo pole that was one meter tall with a hemp rope, and a simple archery target was freshly baked.
After making the target, Jiang Xue asked them to make ten of them in one go.
They also made six or seven bows and arrows for the tribe, and then Jiang Xue placed the targets in front of the giant barricades by the river for the tribesmen to practice.
The tribesmen who had just received the bows and arrows were very excited. They had never seen this thing before and didn't know how to use it. Jiang Xue impatiently tried to shoot an arrow.
Although she had played with a bow and arrow before, her technique was not very good and her first arrow missed the target.
And it was off target in an outrageous way. She was clearly intending to hit the target opposite her, but as soon as the arrow left the string, it flew to the target on the right.
This deviation is too big!
Jiang Xue herself was too embarrassed to watch, but fortunately her tribesmen were unaware of this and thought she was aiming at the target. When they saw her arrow hit the target, not only did no one laugh at her, but some even took the lead in applauding and cheering.
How embarrassing!
