Everyone gathered around Jiang Xue to watch the fun. Some people who were good at weaving couldn't wait to try it out, so they followed her steps and started weaving.
The old patriarch stood at the entrance of the cave and snorted coldly. He said to Ashan, "Ashan, if you let this woman continue to act like this, the Snake Tribe might fall into her hands. You didn't see how Mufeng looked at her yesterday. That guy has been bewitched by this woman. Since you can't have her, we have to find a way to drive her out."
Ashan's eyes fell on Jiang Xue, who was busy chatting in the crowd. He thought about how she had made fire out of stones, talked about digging ditches and building thorn walls, and even made some kind of "barricades". When he thought about how she had stabbed his thigh with a stone spear before, his expression became sinister, and even his voice was a little cold. He said, "Dad, I know what to do."
"You didn't see the magical powers she displayed last night, Ashan. If you don't act now, it will be too late when the tribesmen know she is a witch!"
As the father and son were talking, the crowd suddenly erupted in laughter. Jiang Xue then picked up something and said, "Dashu, what are you weaving? My weaving is already ugly enough, but I didn't expect you to be so incompetent as to even make a foundation."
The tree blushed with shame: "Axue, I want to learn too. I was injured and it hasn't gotten better these days. If you hadn't helped me with the treatment last night, I wouldn't have been able to get out of the cave!"
After Dashu said this, everyone finally reacted.
Dashu was originally a member of the Mufeng hunting team. Ten days ago, he was beaten to death by Pingyuan and his men. Fortunately, there were medicines hidden in the cave at that time that were not searched by Pingyuan. Otherwise, he would not have survived until yesterday.
There were four other people who were injured by Pingyuan at the same time as him, and the one who was most seriously injured has died.
Someone immediately asked the tree, "Yes, tree, I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. How did you manage to walk out of the cave by yourself?"
Dashu raised his face proudly and threw out a shocking news: "Axue is a witch! She cured my injury."
witch?
Everyone was stunned.
The old patriarch's face froze, and he angrily scolded, "These useless guys, what's the point of surrounding a woman!"
After saying that, he went into the cave with a grim face.
The hunting team led by Mu Feng did not return until the sun was about to set.
They were lucky today and hunted three rabbits and a goat.
The goat weighed about 60 to 70 kilograms and was tied up and hung on a tree branch before being carried back.
Dashu and the others happily went over and together they put the goat down. Everyone was amazed and said, "Chief, how did you catch this goat? It must have taken a lot of effort to catch such a big goat."
The hunting team beamed with joy, "We've been wandering the mountains all day and thought we'd gotten nothing. Just as we were about to leave, we heard it cry out. The tribe leader went over to take a look and discovered its horns were entangled in vines, unable to break free. We grabbed a stick and found it ready-made."
"real?"
"Of course. You all know that these things run very fast. When they escape, they always run over rocks. There's no way we can catch up with them."
They talked for a while, and then Mu Feng came to Jiang Xue, looked at the basket at her feet like a curious baby, and asked, "Xue, what are you doing?"
Jiang Xue raised her face and smiled warmly: "You're back? This is called a basket. From now on, Ah Qing, Xiao Hua and the others will be able to bring back more things when they go out to collect."
Mu Feng picked up a basket and looked at it. Is this thing for storing things? He chuckled and said, "Is this useful?"
"Of course." Jiang Xue replied, picking up a few stones and filling it up completely. "Try to lift it."
Mu Feng picked up the basket and was horrified.
Of course he knew about these vines, but as far as he knew, no one had ever thought of using them to make them into this shape to hold things!
He praised sincerely, "Hey, it's really useful. Did you make all this today?"
"Yes, Xiaohua and the others can use this when they go out tomorrow." Jiang Xue paused and asked him, "I want to go collecting with Xiaohua and the others tomorrow."
She didn't ask or seek his opinion, but told him clearly that she was going out tomorrow.
In fact, in the Snake Tribe, everyone will be assigned tasks by the patriarch.
The collection teams were usually made up of women and children aged seven or eight who took turns going. Their lack of strength made them perfect for these tasks. Adult men generally didn't have the luxury of doing these easy tasks.
Mu Feng didn't object. "Okay, since you're not familiar with the area, you should stay close to Xiao Hua and don't stray too far away."
Jiang Xue's eyes lit up: "Really?"
She originally just wanted to give it a try to see if he would agree to let her go out, but she didn't expect that he would agree so immediately.
Mu Feng looked at her, said nothing, and smiled at her gently.
Watching the interaction between the two of them, Ashan listened to everything they said, and his face became even more gloomy.
This is the woman I like!
How am I worse than Mu Feng? She has never even looked at me straight in the eye, let alone smiled at me!
He gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, clenched his fists and muttered, then growled fiercely, "You're going out tomorrow, right? Then don't blame me!"
After a busy day, Jiang Xue had woven five baskets of varying sizes. Including the baskets made by Dashu and the others, she had about ten baskets in total. When the collection team set out the next day, each of them carried a basket, including Jiang Xue.
Not for the sake of beauty, but for the sake of freshness.
The people along the way chatted and laughed with each other, and soon entered the woods where the Snake Tribe often collected.
There is also division of labor when collecting.
Some picked wild peaches, some picked wild grapes, and some children climbed up the trees to dig out bird nests, but at this time the bird parents in the nests had already abandoned the nests with their chicks, so they could only dig in vain.
Everyone was busy and having fun.
Watching them picking various berries skillfully, Jiang Xue picked two bunches and then sat on a rock with an empty basket, watching them with a lack of interest.
Because she was in the end of the world and came to a strange place, she always remained vigilant out of habit.
Everyone is busy, and someone always has to be on guard to prevent large wild animals from suddenly appearing nearby, thus losing the best time to escape.
After traveling here, especially in the territory of the Snake Tribe, Jiang Xue had relaxed a lot and didn't suddenly feel uneasy. But today, a string in her heart was suddenly touched.
She looked up at the collection team working hard, her brows furrowed.
This feeling suddenly appeared, could something really happen?
She glanced around nervously, but there were no wild beasts. Everything seemed very calm, and there was nothing unusual at all.
She muttered, "Could it be that after traveling through time, my perception has also weakened?"
