Jiang Xue glanced coldly at the man who spoke. This man was from the Bear Tribe.
This winter, because Jiang Xue started storing food early, the food in the tribe was many times better than before.
She still remembered that when they first came here, their faces were dark and they had no flesh on their bodies. However, in the winter, they actually gained a lot of weight.
When a person gains weight, his face also becomes much whiter.
People look much more pleasing to the eye when they are white.
What Jiang Xue didn't expect was that although the man looked much more pleasing to the eye, the words he said were particularly harsh.
Jiang Xue had a plan in mind.
If I don't teach them a lesson now, if they dare not take the roof seriously today, they will definitely not take me seriously tomorrow. By then, how can I have any prestige in the clan?!
She suppressed her anger and said slowly, "In that case, you must stay here for half a day, not even a moment less."
Jiang Xue suddenly started to attack. The man was stunned and shouted, "Snow Witch, what you said is unreasonable. They can all stay in the cave and warm themselves by the fire, so why punish me to be outside in the cold wind..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Xue suddenly cast a water ball spell at him.
The water ball poured down on his head, soaking his whole body. The cold wind blew, making his upper and lower teeth chatter and his whole face turned green.
"Do you have any other comments?"
Seeing that Jiang Xue was serious, the others reluctantly followed Jiang Xue's instructions, found a ladder, and started clearing the snow off the roof.
"Remember, from now on, whenever it snows, you must clear the snow from the sheepfold every three days. If anyone disagrees, just come and find me!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the tiger's body and quickened their pace.
Jiang Xue walked up to the man and folded her arms. "You used to be from the Bear Tribe, but now our two tribes have merged into one, so we're one family. Remember, we all prosper together and suffer together. If you make similar remarks again, next time, I won't just give you a water ball. I'll burn you to death with a fireball. Let's see if Elder Akagi will plead for you!"
Ever since they joined the Snake Tribe, Mufeng promoted Akagi as elder in front of everyone.
The man was shivering with his arms folded in the cold. Jiang Xue couldn't bear to see him like that. She softened her tone and said, "I hope you'll remember my words. Go inside, warm yourself by the fire, and change your clothes."
Mufeng and Akagi were both watching her closely and ignored her sudden move.
They took the initiative to climb onto the roof and started clearing the snow off it.
After they had painstakingly cleared the snow, Jiang Xue called them back and said, "You haven't trained in a long time. I didn't push you to train before because it was cold. But today, your performance disappointed me. So from now on, each of you will run ten laps here every day. The last five to finish will have one additional lap as a penalty."
Everyone was stunned. Snow was falling from the sky and the snow on the ground was almost knee-high. Are they going to start training now?
Mu Feng didn't say anything, suddenly picked up a piece of wood from the ground and ran away.
Akagi followed closely behind, carrying a piece of wood and running at the same pace. The two chased each other and soon they were running side by side in the snow.
Seeing that the two leaders had started running, the others sighed and had no choice but to accept their fate and start running behind them.
The tribe was crowded with people and seemed to have regained its former vitality.
Jiang Xue watched them start running and stopped paying attention to them. She walked to the thorn wall alone and stared at the desolate scene outside the thorn wall in a daze.
Before I knew it, I had been here for more than three months.
It was autumn when she came here, and now, the ground here was covered with silver. The white snow stung her eyes and hurt her. She squinted her eyes slightly, exhaled a breath of white air, and her gaze fell fixedly on the thorn wall in front of her.
Now that the territory had a thorn wall, it guaranteed the safety of the tribesmen to a certain extent, which could be considered a great contribution from her. However, when her eyes fell on the trench outside the thorn wall, which was already level with the ground, she frowned again.
The trench, like the river, was also covered in a thick layer of ice. People could run on the ice on the river without any problem, but the water in the trench...
She frowned, pulled aside the chevaux de frise, and walked directly on the ice.
Now the thorn wall is so brittle and weak that it is no exaggeration to say that a piece of it can be broken with a bamboo pole.
Can you break a bamboo pole?
Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a terrible thing - what if someone ran over from the frozen river to attack her, wouldn't her tribesmen be beaten?
Thinking of this, she suddenly shuddered and went to the river and stepped on it a few times.
Just as she thought, the frozen river was a road. Not to mention enemies, even if there were wild beasts coming down from here and taking the sheep away from the sheepfold, it would be easy.
No, the tribe’s defense measures are still too poor and need to be reinforced!
It’s not realistic to go to the mountains to cut trees at this time of year…
Jiang Xue frowned and stared at the barricades placed under the earth walls on the east and west sides.
There's a thorn wall on the south side, which does protect against enemies to a certain extent, but what about the north side? How should we deal with it?
She returned to the south with her mind wandering, reached out to tear off a broken branch from the thorn wall, and thought to herself: Can we give up the defensive wall and increase the damage of the weapons?
If you want to increase the damage of your weapon, you can only look for iron ore, copper ore or other metal ores, and forge them.
But now it is freezing cold and the world is dead silent. Even if the tribesmen find copper or other ores, they do not have enough firewood and charcoal to forge them.
Jiang Xue lowered her head and pondered for a long time. She used a knife to bend the broken branch in her hand, watching it straighten and bend into an arc in her hand...
A light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly thought of something—
Bow and arrow!
There is a lot of ready-made bamboo in the tribe, and using bamboo to make bows is an excellent choice.
Bamboo is tough and strong enough, but what should be used to make strings?
After thinking for a long time without any ideas, she simply opened "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" and flipped through it carefully. Finally, she found the method of making bows and arrows in the next chapter:
"When making a bow, use bamboo and ox horn as the main material (the Northeastern Yi people don't have bamboo, so they use soft wood), and mulberry branches as the ends..."
…
"Every ox spine has a square strip of tendon, weighing about thirty taels. Kill it, dry it in the sun, soak it in water, and break it into ramie threads. In the north, there is no silk, so bowstrings are made of this stuff..."
She was extremely excited.
Fortunately, the system boss gave her this book, otherwise, she really didn’t know what to do.
