In the blink of an eye, winter has passed for a month and a half, and the white snow has already covered the entire mountain forest, turning the earth into a world of ice and snow.
Yao Xiaoqing felt that the weather was colder than last year.
Jiang Li led Shan and the others to finish the loom. Everyone looked at this big guy with surprised expressions on their faces.
Yao Xiaoqing was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She touched the loom and said, "Jiang Li, just put the thread in and you can weave, right?"
Seeing her happy look, Jiang Li was also very happy. He smiled and shook his head, "No, I have to starch it."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Oh! If you need anything, I'll have someone prepare it."
"Okay." Jiang Li thought that there was only corn, so he asked Yun Amu to boil rice milk water with a moderate thickness. He used a wool brush to brush the twine on the twine to make the thread flexible and smooth, and passed each thread through it.
Reed board.
After everything was ready, he sat down in front of the loom and explained, "Step on the pedal with your right foot and put the shuttle into the triangular shed to feed the weft... After weaving a piece of fabric, he pulls the shaft at one end of the warp beam.
The threads release the warp, while rotating the threads at one end of the winding shaft to tighten the warp yarns and continue weaving."
He knitted for nearly an hour and then looked up at Shan Ammu, "Amu, do you understand?"
Shan Amu nodded repeatedly, "I know, Leader Jiang Li, watch me knit it again, and tell us what you don't know."
Jiang Li stood up and nodded with a smile, "Okay." He guided Shan Amu to point for a while, and saw that she had mastered it, "Amu, take your time. If you have anything you don't understand, just come to me."
Shan Ammu nodded repeatedly, immersed in the joy of weaving.
Yao Xiaoqing and Jiang Li walked outside, and a biting chill hit their faces.
Jiang Li looked at the snowflakes flying like catkins, "I wonder if this year's winter will be extended."
"We have enough food. As long as it doesn't last too long, there's no need to worry." Yao Xiaoqing smiled and stretched out his hand, catching a few snowflakes and watching them melt in the palm of his hand.
Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "The Qingsha is very suitable to be a leader. If I follow you, I won't have to worry about running out of food."
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Everyone's experience is different. You used to be a general who planned strategies. I used to be a small village chief, and I only cared about one-third of an acre of land and the harvest of the village.
"When I was young, people of the older generation often talked to us about what they had experienced in the past. They often said that they had food in their hands and did not panic. In this kind of world, there is naturally a sense of crisis. No matter in ancient or modern times, eating is a matter of course.
It’s a big deal, life will be easier if you have rice and food.”
"The crisis before us is the attack of the witch. As long as we fight back and defeat the witch, we can live and work in peace and contentment."
"You are right!" Jiang Li looked at Yao Xiaoqing with a smile on his face, "I plan to make some hand crossbows. If there is still no movement from the great witch after the spring, I will lead a team of people to take the initiative to attack and disintegrate the great witch's combat power.
"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "That's fine. Although we can solve the problem of food and clothing in the tribe, we can't be locked up in the tribe by him."
Jiang Li smiled and said, "If you agree, I will go and prepare."
"Okay," Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "When we defeat the big witch, we can set up a market here, and the Ninghe area will become the center here. At that time, we will start to implement the construction you mentioned last time.
The plan of the city.”
Jiang Li smiled and said: "As long as Qing Wu wants to do it, we will make a good plan then."
Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the outside of the wall, "This area is so big, but it is still a blank sheet of paper. As long as we can let them live a life with enough food and clothing, we can set rules to manage them according to the advanced concepts of future generations.
"
Jiang Li looked at her with admiration, "If you are poor, you can be good at yourself, and if you are successful, you can help the world. The Qingsha's character is valuable."
Yao Xiaoqing's face turned red after hearing this, "You think of me too much. I'm not that high. I just want to be my village chief."
"Whether you are the village chief or not, you can make this area the way you want it to be from now on." Jiang Li said as if I would approve whatever you do.
Yao Xiaoqing felt that there was something wrong with this atmosphere, so he quickly made an excuse, "Bao Amu just said that he wanted to see me for something, so I'll check it out." After that, he quickly ran away.
Jiang Li watched her walk away, then turned and walked towards the stone tool room.

At the same time, Yan Yu stood at the entrance of the Shenmu tribe's cave, looking worried at the thick snow in the open space outside the cave and the snowflakes flying in the sky.
After Wu returned to the tribe and told Da Ma about Shi Shan's attitude, they began to look for other partners. Wu thought of the Shenmu tribe and asked Da Ma to discuss it, and the two cunning men came together.
Da Ma immediately sent Yan Yu and Chong to the Shenmu tribe, only to find that the Shenmu tribe was deserted when they arrived.
Looking at the empty Shenmu tribe, Yan Yu and Chong Da were overjoyed. They immediately returned to the Great Witch and told Da Mao the good news.
After Da Ma learned about it, he decided to use the Shenmu tribe as a stronghold for the great witches to attack Yaoshan Mountain. Yanyu took forty teams of warriors and food to Shenmu Mountain, intending to find an opportunity to attack the Yaoshan tribe.
Yan Yu and his warriors had just arrived at Shenmu Mountain, but before they could settle down, the weather suddenly turned cold at night, and some of the warriors suffered frostbite. After searching around, they found some firewood, and had to gather the people into several caves to keep warm.
It snowed heavily for several days, stopped for most of the day, and then started falling intermittently again until now.
Yan Yu thought that the food he had brought was almost finished. The food and medicine in the tribe would not be delivered if it kept raining and snowing. Could it be that God wanted to punish them?
The cow looked at the only basket of dried meat and felt worried.
He walked to the entrance of the cave and felt a burst of cold air that made him shrink his neck. He looked at Yan Yu and whispered: "We can only eat food for two days at most. Let's go out and hunt!"
He thought about the private discussions of the warriors and felt a little worried.
Those people were complaining that they were all busy traveling from spring to winter, but were brought here to starve and freeze.
Yan Yu frowned and thought for a while, "Let everyone wrap the animal skins around their legs and go out to hunt when the snow stops."
The cow stuck out his head, looked at the sky, shook his head and said: "I think it will be difficult to wait until the snow stops. If there is no food, then..."
Yan Yu turned his head and glanced at the warriors in the cave, and found that all of them were staggering around and had no energy at all.
"Everyone, get up and stretch your muscles. Tomorrow morning we will go into the mountains to hunt."
The tall and strong team member said: "Yan Yu, it's too cold. I'm worried that everyone won't be able to go far without being frozen."
Yan Yu suppressed the irritability in his heart, "Ye, we can only eat food for two days at most. We must go out to hunt for food. Gather the animal skins tomorrow morning for the warriors who go out to hunt."
He knew they were dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Yes!" Ye Ying said feebly.
"Yan Yu, I think we should go back to the tribe first!" someone said.
