Everyone continued working at night.
However, they didn’t go out to gather materials again under Fu Rui’s reminder.
All of them obediently stayed in the village and tried their best to be as quiet as possible. They did not want to make too much noise as they made bows and barriers.
Fu Rui was tired and rested early. When he woke up in the morning the next day, the first thing he did was to sign in on the system.
“Ding. Congratulations to the host for obtaining proficiency in whistling!”
Whistling?
Fu Rui gained more knowledge once again.
At the same time, he gained a certain understanding of the so-called whistling.
To put it bluntly, it was similar to the flag language of World War II. The difference was that it was transmitted through sound and not images.
“This is a good thing. Furthermore, it can be used immediately.”
Whistles were short and sharp, and with strong penetrative power. It could be transmitted over a long distance with the augmentation of a specific tool. Thus, it was very suitable for battlefield command in the forest.
Fu Rui planned to teach this technique to the beast-eared females in the tribe today.
However, before that, he had to solve the food problem that the tribe faced.
Thus, Fu Rui called Li over.
“What is it, my Lord Village Chief~~~” Li greeted him with a playful sentence upon meeting him. She held his hand and placed it on her ample bosom.
“Stop seducing me. I’m a decent person.”
Fu Rui rolled his eyes but did not retract his hand. Instead, he started talking about serious matters. “Today, I plan to bring people out to hunt. Are you coming with me, or shall we split up?”
“Let’s split up!”
Li raised her pretty face. “Let’s compete and see who gets the most prey!”
Fu Rui sneered. “Then you’re definitely going to lose. After all, I got the spoils of war from yesterday in just an hour.”
“It’s different today.” Li was eager to give it a try. She was clearly very confident in her archery skills. “Under the guidance of the Lord Village Chief, I’m no longer the same as before!”
“Not bad, not bad.”
Fu Rui raised his eyebrows. “But if you want to compete against me, you have to place a bet. Tell me, what will happen if you lose?”
“If I lose, I’ll cook tonight.”
“The bet should provide me with benefits that can’t be shared with others.” Fu Rui refused this suggestion.
Li looked at him suspiciously. “Then what do you want?”
“How about warming my bed if you lose?”
Fu Rui glanced at her ample bosom. “Come to think of it, your menstruation is almost over. You’ll have to pay back what you owed me last time!”
“Ah? Ah… Ah!”
Li instantly arched her body and mumbled, “I… I still need to practice. I have so much work to do every day. If I’m too tired at night, I won’t be able to get up the next day.”
Fu Rui chuckled and stopped teasing her.
“Alright, bring some people to the bamboo forest to continue catching chickens. I’ll bring a few people around the forest to see if there’s anything else.”
Li nodded her head in agreement and carefully asked, “What about the bet?”
“That will depend on my mood.”
“Hmph, you make it sound like you’re going to win!”
“Isn’t that so? Forget it, I’ll give you some hope. If I lose, I’ll give you massages for a month.”
Li’s eyes lit up. The night she had slept with Fu Rui, her stomach had been hurting so much, but Fu Rui had only rubbed it a few times and the pain had eased a lot.
“You’d better keep to your word!”
“Yes.”
Fu Rui naturally could not lie to a beast-eared lady, who was in her twenties but was actually very innocent.
Li instantly beamed.
After a simple breakfast, the two groups of people left the village.
Not long after Fu Rui left, he encountered a giant wild creature.
[Buffalo]: It lives in forests and swamps, and is often found alone. It has thick skin, is introverted, and is easily angered. If you don’t have absolute confidence, don’t do anything malicious to them.
This was a big fellow that had grown extremely well. It was definitely an adult buffalo. As it had grown in this rather primitive period, its size was much larger than that of modern buffaloes.
However, most importantly, its dark skin was like armor that shone under the sun.
This couldn’t help but make Fu Rui doubt his own flint arrow. Could it pierce through this large fellow before him?
“Lord Village Chief, how about… we forget about it? Let’s look for other prey. The buffalo is too fierce.”
“That’s right, Village Chief. Back then, Xia couldn’t even pierce through its skin with five broken spears. She couldn’t hurt it at all.”
“Shall we go back and bring poisoned arrows?”
The few beast-eared girls following him were a little apprehensive.
“Don’t panic. Let me take a look first.”
Fu Rui thought carefully about it. “We definitely can’t use the poisoned arrows. Otherwise, how are we going to eat this meat? If we want to hunt this thing, we have to find its weakness… Hmm… Right, look at the position of its eyes.”
The few beast-eared girls could not help but look over. After observing the buffalo, they felt that the only weak point of this buffalo was its eyes.
“But… its eyes are so small. Furthermore, its body is still moving. We can’t shoot it.”
“That’s right, Lord Village Chief. If we anger it, it will be very dangerous.”
They couldn’t help but feel troubled.
Fu Rui smiled. “Don’t worry, ladies. Look carefully!”
He took out an arrow from an arrow basket on the back of one of the beast-eared females and placed it on the bow. Then, he aimed at the buffalo from afar.
“It’s so far away. Can the Lord Village Chief do it?” A beast-eared girl shouted softly.
Another beast-eared girl quickly covered her mouth and scolded her. “Shh, don’t disturb the Lord Village Chief.”
In fact, this level of speaking had no effect on Fu Rui.
He concentrated on aiming.
He pulled the bow!
Then, he shot!
The arrow left the bowstring and accurately hit the eyes of the buffalo the moment it turned around.
“Mu!”
The buffalo howled in pain. Most of the arrow had already entered its brain, destroying part of its brain stem.
Fu Rui didn’t know whether it was because his luck was good, or that the archery skills he had exchanged through the system were superb, but the buffalo swayed twice before falling to the ground.
“It’s a success.” Fu Rui flashed a satisfied smile.
With his arm strength, it was not surprising that he could produce such results.
The few beast-eared girls looked at him in surprise, as if they were curious about how Fu Rui did it.
Fu Rui smiled. He had no intention to explain.
Archery was the result of feeling and experience. Once they had pulled the bowstring tens of thousands of times, they could naturally do the same thing.
This buffalo was very big. Fu Rui estimated that it was about 700 to 800 kilograms, enough for the entire tribe to eat for two days.
With this, the problem of food was temporarily solved. Thus, Fu Rui did not stay in the forest.
Fu Rui grabbed the buffalo’s body, and his strong muscles burst forth with astonishing strength. He easily carried it on his shoulder and returned to the village with the other beast-eared females.
Then, Fu Rui walked around the field again and found that some of the potatoes had already ripened. He picked them up, washed them, and cut them into pieces. He planned to cook beef stew with potatoes for lunch.
At noon, Li returned to the village with her team.
“Rui! I’ve hunted 28 chickens this time. You’re bound to lose!”
Fu Rui, who was cooking, didn’t even raise his head. Meanwhile, a beast-eared girl covered her mouth and laughed. “Li, the Village Chief killed a buffalo.”
“How is that possible!”
“If you don’t believe me, look at the water-drawing spot.”
“…”
When Li saw the water buffalo, her face turned red.
