Chapter 144 Not Going Alone

Speaking of the cannibal Shen Xiaoxiao, she just remembered that she wanted to increase protection in the tribe. She said that she seemed to have forgotten something. She was too tired when she came back just now, so she didn't think about it carefully. Now that she remembered it, she naturally had to mention it. .

"Tell the witch doctor later to have people do some protection in the tribe. I always feel that cannibals will come to look for trouble. If there are only piles of stones, it is not something to be afraid of. If we add what we encountered later, the tribe will probably be very troublesome. Hard to resist."

Although there are not many people in the tribe, there are also many old people and young children. They may be hesitant to do anything for fear of hurting the old people and young children. However, the cannibals do not have this worry, because these tribes may Fall into disadvantage.

Since there is this problem, it is best for them to prepare in advance. It is best if the cannibals do not come. If they come, they will be prepared in advance and there is no need to rush.

Preventing problems before they happen is applicable at any time, let alone when it matters to the survival of the tribe.

"Do you have any ideas?" Xiao Yan knew that since she had brought it up, she naturally already had an idea.

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded calmly, "Yes, but the people in the tribe must work together." She wanted to build a wall. As long as the wall was high enough and there were a few traps inside, even if they could climb over the wall and fall in, There is only one way for them to die in the trap.

At that time, just leave a few openings to facilitate the tribe's people to go out. At night, let several people take turns guarding the door, so that even if something really happens, they can be informed of it as soon as possible.

"Wall?" Xiao Yan was a little surprised. Why should we build a wall?

"Yes, we will enclose a piece of land for us to live in. We live within the wall, which can not only protect against cannibals, but also animals that come down the mountain." But how big the enclosure should be is debatable. After all, they still have to farm, so the scope is certain. It's not small. If it's too small, it won't be convenient for them to live in it.

Fortunately, the land is vast and sparsely populated now, and no one cares about these lands. They can enclose as much as they want.

"But I'm afraid it's too late." Shen Xiaoxiao said worriedly. These cannibals were like knives hanging above their heads and might fall at any time.

And they have no sympathy. In their eyes, those who are eaten are never their own kind but food.

With the cannibals at the pile of stones, she felt that other cannibals must also be thinking about their tribe.

And she felt it was better to do this sooner rather than later.

"Talk to the witch doctor later." Now that they know the plan of those cannibals, they naturally can't sit still and wait for death. Even if they can't take the initiative to find trouble for them, they must take precautions. If they don't come, they will be punished. They are over-concerned, but if they come, what they do will help the tribe.

"You don't have to rush to build a wall, but you still have to dig a trap." It may not be of much use, but maybe it will be.

"Okay, don't think about this now. Think about other things after eating the food." They have not eaten food well in the past few days.

"OK."

Shen Xiaoxiao took out the little flour left and made two bowls of noodles. After all, they had suffered a lot these past few days, so they wanted to treat themselves to something good.

"We'll see when we go to pick the corn back. It would be even better if we can meet that pair of cows." Shen Xiaoxiao said while kneading the dough, "It will be very convenient to make some farm tools then and plant the fields. And with cows, you can also make two bullock carts. Then the cows can pull the carts wherever you go, and it will be much easier for people to sit on the bullock carts or put things on the carts.”

"Maybe we'll meet him, otherwise I'll definitely get there if I squat there for two days." There are a lot of cow footprints there, and they're a bit messy. I guess they're used to going there, so even if they don't run into them, they'll definitely be able to wait until they're there. .

Shen Xiaoxiao also thought about this, "We'll see when the time comes. It's really not possible to squat there for two days as you said." It was not easy to meet her and she didn't want to miss it. If she could catch two more, the tribal farming Tian's problem is half solved.

Even if you don't farm, you can do other jobs.

Others found them after seeing that they had eaten the food. In fact, the tribe had a lot of things to do, but they had put it aside in order to find them for the past two days. Now that they are back, they will naturally continue to work.

"Goddess, look, this bug has grown back again." They took Shen Xiaoxiao to the field and said anxiously. The goddess disappeared because she was looking for medicine before, but now these bugs have grown back. They spent a whole morning Only then did we catch these insects.

"We need to catch insects." Shen Xiaoxiao saw the problem at a glance. The insects had already laid eggs on it, and the speed they could catch them couldn't keep up with the growth rate of these insects. If this continued, there would be no need for these vegetables. .

If she had gone according to plan, it would have been time for her last round of medicine. Who would have thought that something unexpected happened, and the medicine she picked had already been lost. Now she had to pick some again. Maybe she had picked it before and knew where it was.

If she went to collect it earlier, it would be ready tomorrow, but as soon as she proposed to collect the medicine, others refused.

Knowing that they were also worried about her, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't think anything was wrong.

"I didn't say that I had to go by myself. You guys go along with me and bring back more." Now she is not willing to let her go out alone. Who knows if she will be unlucky enough to meet those cannibals again? She didn't want to experience the life of running for her life anymore.

It's better to have more people, so that the speed can be faster, mainly for safety.

Hearing that she didn't want to go alone, the others were relieved. They were really worried that the goddess would go out alone again. This time she came back safely, but next time, they wouldn't be able to withstand the scare.

After telling the witch doctor, they set off. They were nervous along the way, fearing that something unexpected would happen. Even when they were collecting herbs, they would leave two or three people by her side to protect her. Shen Xiaoxiao laughed dumbly, knowing that she couldn't persuade them, so she let them do what they wanted.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, and they returned to the tribe before dark. After returning, they didn't have a rest. They chopped the herbs and put them in the pot to cook. There was not only one way to boil them, but also one way to soak them for 24 hours.

Shen Xiaoxiao found Ashu and Yan and asked them to make a few nozzles, otherwise it would be too troublesome to spray the medicine.

While they were cooking the medicine, she and Xiao Yan found the witch doctor and told them their ideas.

After listening, the witch doctor was silent for a moment, "Of course I believe you, but according to what you said, where should we dig the trap? What if the people in the tribe accidentally fall into it?" Digging traps in the tribe is not like digging traps in the mountains. There are many young cubs in the tribe and they are active. If they fall down, it's no joke.

Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that this was inevitable, but she couldn't just stop eating because she might die.

"Don't let those cubs get close to that." Xiao Yan said lightly, "If they are curious, you can throw them down without danger and let them stay there for a while. Once they know it, they will naturally not be curious anymore."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect him to say such a thing, but she had to say that this was indeed a good idea.
