When Jiang Xue noticed Mu Feng, he had already put down his prey and was walking towards her.
Xiaohua ran to Mufeng as if to ask for credit, lifted her foot and showed him the straw sandals on her feet: "Chief, look, these are the shoes that Sister Axue made for me! I am the first person to wear these shoes!"
shoe?
Mu Feng's deep eyes narrowed sharply, his fiery gaze piercing through her small shins and directly reaching Jiang Xue. He looked at her gently, not mentioning the shoes. His expression was somewhat serious, but the moment he opened his mouth, he broke his composure. "Xue, we're meeting this morning, and you and Ashan aren't here. I'd like to hear your opinion."
Jiang Xue put down the rope in her hand: "What's the matter?"
"There are two opinions in our tribe now. One is to move away with the whole clan, and the other is to stay. What do you think?"
Jiang Xue frowned. Why was it still the question of whether to leave or not? Hadn't this issue been discussed before? Why was it being brought up again?
Could something have happened?
"This matter depends on everyone's opinion. I think this place is great. If we move away, we may never find a place more suitable to live than here." When she said this, she suddenly remembered the task issued by the system.
——The Snake Tribe is now seriously divided. Please complete the integration and win over the people as soon as possible. Completing the task will reward you with 500 achievement points.
Could it be that the new and old clan leaders have reached the point of falling out?
Mu Feng sat down and smiled self-deprecatingly. "Yes, I also think this place is very suitable for us to live. However, there is one thing you may not know. Our spies discovered that our mortal enemy, the Plains of the Eagle Tribe, has been lingering nearby for the past two days. We don't know what he is going to do."
Jiang Xue frowned: "They are coming again?"
This is really too much!
How can there be such a person? He comes to rob people every few days. How can people live?
"Yes, maybe because they saw our tribe built the Thorn Wall, they didn't have a better way to attack us right away. In the past, they would have attacked us long ago."
Jiang Xue said nothing.
I was the last one to know about such a big thing. Even Xiaohua didn’t mention it to me.
"I think you should have the answer." Jiang Xue put down the straw rope in her hand, scratched her messy hair, and said, "Do what you really want in your heart. Whether it succeeds or not, the tribe members will not blame you."
Mu Feng's eyes lit up instantly.
Yes, do what you think in your heart, as long as you have a clear conscience, then what is there to worry about?
"Axue, thank you. I know what to do now."
Mu Feng left quickly, and soon, a fierce quarrel between him and the old patriarch could be heard from the cave.
"Mufeng, you're the head of our clan. What makes you think those two thorn walls can stop the attack from Plains? I always thought you were honest and kind, but how can you joke about the lives of our entire clan? Don't you think about the cold season coming soon? We don't even have enough animal skins to keep warm! Are you really that cruel? Do you want everyone to die here with you?"
Mu Feng said calmly, "Grandpa, I've thought about what you said. No matter where we go, the plains won't let us go. Relocating the entire clan is no easy task. Not to mention our low combat effectiveness and inferior weapons, what if we're attacked by wild beasts on the way? We can't afford to suffer any more!"
"You!" The old patriarch's voice was extremely angry. "Even if the thorn wall is useful and can stop their attack, if they block our retreat, we will starve to death here! Mufeng, listen to my advice, let's move away. Now is a turbulent time. Since we can't beat them, we can avoid them!"
The two men quarreled fiercely, and the tribesmen sat silently around the campfire.
Jiang Xue listened to their quarrel and suddenly came to her senses.
That’s right, if the people from the Eagle Tribe really want to trap the Snake Tribe here, they don’t have to worry about the water problem, but there really won’t be enough food!
The Snake Tribe now only gets enough food for its people every day from hunting.
Especially for those strong men, the food allocated to them is not enough, so they have to eat wild fruits.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xue couldn't sit still anymore.
She pulled Xiaohua over and hid by the river. "Xiaohua, take me to the lotus pond tomorrow. The former clan leader was right. If they really want to trap us here, food will be our biggest problem."
Xiaohua looked at her in confusion: "But even so, there's nothing to eat there."
Jiang Xue sighed. Did they really never think of digging lotus roots to eat?
Just as I was about to say something, a light bulb went off in my head. Something was wrong. I must have forgotten something.
Judging from the tasks issued by the system and Mu Feng's words, the people of the Eagle Tribe must be lying in ambush nearby. Logically speaking, if they really wanted to attack, they should have taken action long ago!
Why have you been sitting still?
Is it really as the old patriarch said, that they want to trap the people of the Snake Tribe to death here?
Xiaohua looked at Jiang Xue and asked, "Sister Xue, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xue shook her head and looked at the rushing river.
The moon rose, frogs croaked by the river, cicadas chirped in the trees, and moonlight shone on the river, casting an unreal glow over it. A mountain breeze blew, and the river reflected the moonlight, creating a shimmering white glow.
