On the other side of the shack, Bai Xiaosheng could clearly hear the conversation due to the soundproofing.

"Can't these people lower their voices when speaking ill of others?" she thought awkwardly. "But it would be better to say it clearly, than to say it aloud, than to say it aloud to those who are stuck in their stomachs and are trying to make things worse."

"That Miss Liu. What a deep scheming, what a poisonous resentment. She must be a …"

"And that …" The woman who made the bow, tsk tsk, why didn't these people have a name? How to tell the difference between her and her. The woman who made the bow had a good heart and was an honest person. But why was she said to be a woman bought back? Could it be that selling women in this world is very normal? "

She read it over.

Bai Xiaosjing thought over all the active speakers, the silent ones, and all the questions she should pay attention to and ponder. Very quickly, she gained a deeper understanding of the entire tribe.

"Why do people always like to be jealous of others?"

"..."

After a third check to confirm that there was no one around, Bai Xiaoshen lay back down.

Looking at the cooldown of the embroidery, there was still one hour until the next summoning. In other words, it was now around 10 pm.

It was a good opportunity that Qiu did not return. In other words, she had enough time before dawn to sort out the question marks deep in her head. Everything that had happened to her all day was so strange that she couldn't understand it. Therefore, she needed a relatively quiet environment to slowly think.

In his mind, he recalled what happened at the riverside at noon.

When the giant rat attacked, its neck felt pain … Subconsciously, he reached his hand to the back of his neck once more. No matter how many times he touched it, this piece of skin was still smooth and intact.

But at that time, she had clearly mentioned the sound of her bones shattering. Had she heard wrongly? Or was he mistaken?

The ability to gnaw is a specialty of rodents, and mammals with sharp incisors can easily crush the bones of food and predators. One could tell from the name that a Stoneater Rat was a terrifying type of rat that could easily bite through rocks. Bai Xiaoshen did not think that her thin limbs could withstand it.

If not for her opponent's successful attack, how could she have lost all consciousness for two hours? If she had misheard or remembered wrongly, what had caused her to appear in that person's territory a few kilometers away from the river?

And how did the rat die beside her? Making her pick up such a great deal for nothing...

A string of questions appeared repeatedly in Bai Xiaosjing's mind. She still remembered the dream she had after she lost consciousness. He went from one to two and then put them together again.

Was this a simple dream?

He looked at the clothes hanging on the bed, which had been torn into rags. Then, he stood up and looked outside the tent for the fourth time. The wreckage of the evening barbecue was still there, and the rat had indeed been hunted by itself.

At that moment, she saw a hole, larger than her palm, in the piece of sackcloth that blocked the doorway.

The prairie region is sparsely wooded and devoid of building stone, but is rich in a type of herb similar to the abamo. Tribal women use the fibers of these plants to make ropes and then weave cloth to build sheds. But because life was so difficult, most of the tribesmen were not very particular about their daily necessities. They didn't have the time to think about it too much.

As a man, Qiu was even more so.

In his youth, he did not notice that his house was so rotten that it had become disfigured.

Bai Xiaosheng took the embroidery needles and began to sew up the holes one by one. Since she was living here, it would be better for her to make up the holes that couldn't be kept private. Furthermore, she still had an incomplete experiment. Just how many embroidery threads did she have left?

He mended and mended while thinking about the problem in his head. The most urgent problem right now was how to use the cooling embroidery cloth. This time she was going to embroider something to change her situation.

This was a tribe that was too poor. "The only people who do not lack weapons or funds are those who are dissatisfied with their own needs."

Thinking about Qiu and his desires, Bai Xiaosheng's eyes burned with fury.

Perhaps he could use the embroidery cloth to summon an endless supply of materials to obtain a respectable status and change the situation. But the history of recent generations had told her, in the last hundred years or so, that wealth, if not strength, was doomed to ruin. Therefore, the most important task at hand was naturally to increase the strength of the individual, which was to increase the level of embroidery. Other than that, everything else was just floating clouds.

Just like that, he was embroidering and pondering.

Half an hour later, she speculated that she had used about ten embroidery threads, or at least eighty meters, but the thread on the string was still there. Bai Xiaosjing went to the inner part of the tent to make up for it.

Suddenly, a painful and itchy feeling came from her right calf. When she lifted her foot to take a look, the immense pressure almost caused her to faint.

About five centimeters above her ankle, a blood-sucking leech, as thick as a thumb, was squirming its way deeper. That slippery and oily object had already entered at least a third of the way in. This caused Bai Xiaoshen to immediately fall into a state of panic. "Though it's a bad thing to be forced in by a man, there's nothing more terrible than getting bugged.

Almost immediately, the image of the child struggling in the flames appeared in her mind.

The smell of burning flesh and skin …

Bai Xiaosjing, who grew up in the countryside, had never seen a Bloodsucking Leech before, but she had seen a Leech Leech before. She had heard her elders talk about ways to deal with a Leech before. If a leech wants to get into your flesh, the worst way to deal with it is to pull at it with your hand, which will only make it go faster. The best way to do that was to stimulate the opposite direction and scare them out.

Bai Xiaoshen slapped her calves to make the muscles in her legs tremble, but it was useless. The Bloodsucking Leech had already reached two-thirds of its original size.

Finally, when all the methods had failed and the Bloodsucking Leech had entered her legs, Bai Xiaosheng had already lost all rationality.

She used Autumn's hunting knife to cut off most of the muscles in her lower leg. The large amount of adrenaline generated from her panic caused her to completely forget about the pain. Fortunately, the Bloodsucking Leeches had been completely sliced off as well. He threw his meat and the horrible insect into the flames and let them burn. But the loss of blood attracted more bloodsucking leeches.

Bai Xiaosheng moved as close to the flames as she could, exhausted from the loss of blood, pain, and fear. She began to think about Autumn.

It felt good to have someone help her drive it away.

However, when she heard the reminder that the embroidery had finished cooling, she could no longer remember this reliance. All she could think about was how to upgrade the embroidery skills.

So she gave up the fishing line and the bowstring and changed it to bullets.
