Qiao Yu gestured at several locations: "If we all ambush here, here, and here, then anyone coming from that road will be surrounded by us, right?"
"Right, right, right." Yan Ye was greatly inspired and forgot about the disagreement between him and Qiao Yu. He ran over excitedly and pointed to the spot Qiao Yu had just pointed out. "We can move some dead branches and grass here to block their sight. That way we can be very close to them, but they can't see us."
"That's right." Qiao Yu always praised and encouraged those who were willing to learn and use their brains. "Then I'll make another weapon that can be thrown from a distance. You won't have to go out and fight the enemy. You can just stand where you are and knock them down."
Everyone became more excited after hearing this.
"But the enemy will move. They can't just stand there and let us kill them. If we attack the people in front, the people behind will flee backwards." Qiao Yu walked to a place. "And people's vision has blind spots. The road they saw when they came might not be the same as the road they see when they look back. If we camouflage this place..."
She took the dead tree that Man handed her and stuck it into the ground, then placed some vines and thatch within her sight. "You come from that side, and then look back when you get here."
Everyone followed the route Qiao Yu had laid out. Following that path, they could walk directly to the spot they had attacked. But when they tried to turn back, they found the path they had taken was blocked, and a flatter and easier path appeared on the other side.
"Then let's dig a trap here. When they try to escape, will they fall into the trap we set?" Qiao Yu asked, pointing there.
"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful."
"Yu, you are so smart."
Everyone applauded and gave it high praise once again.
"Okay, everyone go back and get the wooden shovels and arrange the places according to what I just mentioned. The back mountain should be arranged before tomorrow at the latest." Qiao Yu said.
The team leader quickly sent someone back to the tribe to get a wooden shovel.
Seeing that Qiao Yu had solved the problem with the trap, Shan took advantage of everyone's presence to ask the question that everyone was worried about: "Yu, I heard that you want to capture the people of the Stone Tribe alive? After capturing them, aren't you afraid that they will come out in the middle of the night and kill us all?"
"Yes, keeping them here is not only dangerous, they also need food and drink. We don't have enough food for ourselves, so how can we share it with them?" Lu Ye said.
The others pricked up their ears and listened.
"Before going to the trade fair, I asked Mang to feed a fruit called chestnut to goats and rabbits. Do you know how the taste test went?" Qiao Yu asked.
"The goats and rabbits are all fine after trying it. Lei from the breeding team is trying it now. He has been eating it for two days and there is no problem with his health." Shan Dao.
Ever since Qiao Yu discovered the satiety-boosting food, yam, Shan has paid close attention to the food the farming team tasted. He has been keeping an eye on the chestnut tasting.
Qiao Yu nodded. "There are plenty of these chestnuts on the back mountain, more than enough for the people of the Giant Stone Tribe. Besides, who said I want to feed them enough? I can just give them a half-baked potato or a few chestnuts every day to keep them from starving to death. If they're so hungry they can't even walk, their bone knives and bone spurs have been confiscated, and their hands and feet are tied with vines, are you still afraid of being killed by them?"
Everyone was relieved when they heard this and quickly shook their heads: "Of course not."
"Isn't that the end of it?" Qiao Yu's expression softened. Seeing the wooden shovel coming, she smiled and waved her hand. "Get to work. Capture the guy first, and I'll take care of the rest. Hurry up and dig the trap on the back mountain. I'll teach you how to make new weapons."
"What weapon?" Everyone wanted to ask just now, and now they stopped what they were doing and wanted to gather around with great interest.
"Let's dig the trap first." Qiao Yu waved his hand quickly.
She turned towards the mountain and said, "Father, let's go down the mountain."
"Yeah." Shan also thought about it and wanted to ask about the situation of the Liuren tribe.
Qiao Yu followed Shan and the three elders down the mountain and sat down in her cave. She recounted the details of the pursuit: "Keeping in mind the Stone Tribe's attack on us, I was worried I'd get stuck if I followed them in and wouldn't be able to get out quickly. I also didn't want to alert the enemy, so I didn't go in. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back so early."
"Don't go in, absolutely don't go in." Shan broke out in a cold sweat. "Just don't let them know where our tribe is. Let's deal with the Stone Tribe first, and we can deal with the Exile Tribe later."
"Yes, yes, yes. Your safety is important." Lu Heshi also said.
They had always attached great importance to their leader Qiao Yu. After the events of the past two days, Qiao Yu's importance to the tribe became even more prominent.
With Qiao Yu around, they have the confidence to fight against both the Stone Tribe and the Migrant Tribe; but if the Valley Tribe lost Qiao Yu, even without the invasion of these foreign tribes, they would probably end up like the Stone Tribe, struggling to survive, taking risks, and even losing their lives.
Although Huo didn't say anything, he nodded to show that he agreed with everyone's opinion.
Qiao Yu was very relieved to see that Lian Huo's attitude had changed.
Finally, all her hard work for the tribe was worth it.
"You've suffered a lot during this period, and your face has become much thinner. I'll ask your aunt to make some broth for you. Drink it and have a good rest." Shan felt very distressed when he saw Qiao Yu's thinner face.
The men in the tribe felt too cold to stand after a night on duty in the mountains. Qiao Yu stayed in the ice and snow for several days, and the hardship he endured can be imagined.
"Okay." Qiao Yu did not refuse.
Although he was itching to know what new weapons Qiao Yu was going to teach everyone to make, Lu knew that no matter how impatient he was, he couldn't be impatient at this time.
"Yes, you should take a good rest. It won't be too late to teach them how to make new weapons after everyone has dug the trap on the back mountain," he said.
"Okay, thank you elders for your consideration." Qiao Yu said with a smile.
There were still many traps to be dug and places to be rearranged in the back mountain. The next day, Qiao Yu slept until noon. After getting up, he went to check on the animals he raised, and then looked at the traps at the front door and the traps everyone had dug in the back mountain. Then he went back to the cave and made some weapons with wood and bamboo.
That evening, Shu came in and said to Qiao Yu, "Yu, the trap on the back mountain has been dug. When will you teach everyone how to make weapons?"
Qiao Yu took out a wooden hammer she had carved with a stone knife and placed it in front of the tree: "You can ask everyone to do it according to this."
Shu picked it up and looked at it: "What is this?"
"Wooden hammer." Qiao Yu said.
She stood up and picked up a bundle of straw she had placed in the corner. "Come with me, I'll show you how to use it."
