Chapter 28 (1/2)

Yuan pouted and said pitifully, “Rui… I won’t be unable to walk for the rest of my life, right?”

“Don’t worry.”

Fu Rui patted her butt and smiled. “I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“Meow, meow, meow…” Yuan wagged her tail, still a bit worried.

“The wound seems to be healing pretty well.” Fu Rui thought for a while and instructed her, “As long as you pay attention to the hygiene of the injured area, don’t get it wet after cleaning it, and keep it dry, it shouldn’t be infected.”

“Is that so, meow?”

“What? You don’t believe me?” Fu Rui smiled.

“No! Meow! I believe you!” Yuan sat up straight and wagged her tail. “I’m just a little scared, meow…”

Then, Fu Rui turned to look at everyone. “I called you here to talk about resisting the invasion of the porcupine tribe.”

The beast-eared females immediately became serious.

This was what they cared about the most.

Ever since Fu Rui had gone to rescue the dog-eared girls, everyone had left a lot of traces in the forest. As a result, there had been traces of porcupine tribe activity near the beast-eared tribe recently.

This was a serious threat to everyone’s safety.

Fortunately, the village was built in a more secluded place. Otherwise, they would have already been attacked.

This was also a problem that Li had been worried about.

Fu Rui stood up. “Firstly, we need to equip ourselves with weapons and armor. The porcupine tribe is very strong. Thus, without equipment, we are definitely not their match.”

As he spoke, he walked to the corner of the room and picked up a wooden stick, which was being processed into a bow.

“You usually use spears to fight in close combat, but you can’t bear to throw them, right?”

Xia nodded. “We were indeed like this before. After all, spears are not easy to make. Our entire team only has a few of them, and if we throw them out, we might not be able to hit our targets. If we miss, we won’t have any weapons to attack our prey.”

As she spoke, she smiled. “However, ever since the village chief brought that whetstone, we’ve been making things much faster. Now that every member of the hunting party can carry a spear when they go out, it’s much safer than before.”

“Back then, the hunting party would lose a sister every time they went out… Sigh…”

Li Li knew this very well. She and Wei Wei were born with outstanding exploration abilities. Thus, they were both the eyes of the tribe. Almost every time the hunting team went out, one of them would follow them.

Every time they saw their fellow tribesmen die under the claws and teeth of the wild beasts, their hearts ached.

“It’s all in the past.” Wei Wei pursed her lips. “After the Village Chief arrived, no one in our tribe has died during this period of time. Moreover, our lifestyle has changed. We no longer need to risk our lives for food and clean water.”

“That’s right. Rui has brought great changes to the beast-eared tribe.”

Li was slightly emotional. As the Village Chief, Fu Rui had done much better than her. He had even done more than the previous generation of witches.
