Chapter 48

Bai Qiangwei's question was both unexpected and expected by Wen Xian.

Wen Xian tilted her head and looked at her, and said calmly: "Go to the mountains to chop bamboo, dig wild vegetables, or make a backpack, you choose one."

They are all in the harem, and no one is an easy mess.

Everyone is working, why should we indulge Bai Qiangwei just because she is timid?

It's okay to take care of her in a short period of time, but over time, if your own value cannot be reflected, some people will inevitably become dissatisfied.

Under such conditions of survival, no one is willing to raise a waste unconditionally.She doesn't have an opinion, and that doesn't exclude others from having an opinion.

In order to avoid internal strife in the future, Wen Xian decided to be more ruthless and must let Bai Qiangwei follow.

Bai Qiangwei's face turned pale and she couldn't help but take two steps back.She bit her lower lip tightly, holding back the tears in her eyes and said weakly: "I know, madam, I will definitely do it well."

The moment she lowered her head, the tears in her eyes fell on the ground.

She understood what Madam meant. Yes, she could no longer be cowardly and evade.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but these days, occasionally someone is connoting her intentionally or unintentionally.

She must be strong. No one here will indulge her without asking for anything in return, regardless of life or death.

No matter what she was thinking, Wen Xian just nodded and waved, "Go ahead, we have to knit this backpack today."

She was racing against time to survive, and she had to stock up on enough food for the winter and things to keep out the cold, so that she could truly feel relieved.

When knitting a backpack, you need to insert wide bamboo strips at the bottom and sides of the backpack to reinforce the basket and support the load.

Wen Xian selected one from the bamboo tube cut from the second bamboo and divided it into six.

Remove the inner and outer bamboo joints, then scrape them green, and then lightly bake the length of about [-] centimeters in the middle of the bamboo strips over the fire.

After roasting, break the bamboo strips into flat-bottomed U-shapes while they are still hot.After the backpack is knitted, the U-shaped bottom will be the base of the backpack.

Then, from the edge of the finished basket, find the location to be inserted, pry up some of the braided strips, and insert the bamboo strips into it for reinforcement.

The more bamboo strips interspersed, the more stable the basket will be.

For the first backpack, Wen Xian planned to insert four bamboo strips into it.As for the remaining two, make them together and use them in the second backpack.

After the bamboo strips were completed, Wen Xian began to make the straps for the backpack.

The straps are also an extremely important part. If they are not firm and break midway, the contents of the backpack will be lost.

She sat on the stone in a daze, still wondering what to use.

Jiang Jingwan, who was silently helping on the side, said, "How about using vines as the main part and cloth strips as a supplement?"

Although the vines are strong, they will break if the items in the backpack are too heavy, but adding cloth strips will make them much better.

"Strips of cloth?" Wen Xian said faintly, "We only have the clothes we have on us. We have used them a lot these days by pulling them off a little here and there."

She looked down at her irregular trousers, tugged at the corner of her mouth and said with a wry smile: "Seeing that autumn has already entered, the weather is about to turn cold, and clothing to keep out the cold is a problem, let alone winter. If I continue to take out my clothes now, it will be cold in winter. I’m afraid I’ll just die of cold in the cave.”

Moreover, in the current situation, even if the clothes on the body are intact, they will not be able to survive the cold winter.

Worry, in the next two months, I must find cotton or animal skins to keep out the cold.She now regretted burying the wild wolf directly. She should have skinned it off.

Unfortunately, everyone was very scared at that time and worried about attracting other wild animals, so they had no choice but to bury the wild wolf carcass deep underground on the spot.

The pit where the wild wolf was buried was not only very deep, but the soil above was pressed tightly layer by layer.They also moved a lot of stones to cover the ground to prevent the soil from loosening.

With such layer after layer of protection, it is extremely difficult to dig even if you want to.

Wen Xian sighed, silently thinking that it was not a pity or a pity, and stabilizing the morale of the army was the most important thing.

Jiang Jingwan pursed her lips and looked at the seaside with distant eyes: "Counting the days, my parents' family should have sent people around to find my whereabouts. Maybe they will find me soon."

She paused and said softly: "Where is Madam?"

Madam's mother's family is the overlord of the grassland, many times more powerful than her mother's family. If we can find her...

"Not to mention that the tribe is thousands of miles away from here, but in the current situation, do you think they can really find it smoothly?" Wen Xian chuckled and said, "The Qin Dynasty is in chaos right now, but my father and brother's people can fish in troubled waters. Come here. But water far away can’t save the fire nearby. The news comes and goes. Once we successfully enter the customs, we will try our luck to find him. At least it will be spring next year. "

She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Jingwan's frown, and continued: "Your mother's family is very close, but they can only hide and act secretly. In the short term, there is no need to put hope in foreign aid, they can only save themselves."

It's true that the nobles of the aristocratic families have other trump cards, but now in the transition period of imperial power, who dares to look for the remnants of the previous dynasty in a big way.

Let’s not talk about looking for them, let’s talk about those families that have not been affected. At this time, who is not doing it with their tail between their legs.

Of course, those capable guards and clan members are not excluded.

But having said that, if you really had that ability, you would have taken the lead before the Qin Dynasty destroyed the country.

Wen Xian's merciless words were like a wake-up call, hitting Jiang Jingwan, and her few remaining fantasies disappeared into thin air.

Jiang Jingwan suddenly covered her belly and bent down, her face extremely pale.

Wen Xian's pupils shrank, and after she realized what she was doing, she quickly dropped the bamboo stick in her hand to support Jiang Jingwan, and raised her hand to rest on Jiang Jingwan's wrist.

"You have fetal convulsions," she said with some annoyance but pretending to be calm, "Why are you panicking? There is a chaos of war outside, so what if you go out now? You are pregnant, you have to worry about assassins when you go out to hide, why not just stay here The island is good for raising babies.

The conditions on the island are difficult, but no one interferes, and the baby can be born smoothly.If it comes to the point where I can no longer survive, I will think of other options. "

It's not far away, but it's close enough that I can make a bamboo raft and go to the opposite island to see it.

She calmly comforted Jiang Jingwan and asked Jiang Lingling to scoop up a glass of water for Jiang Jingwan to drink.

After Jiang Jingwan calmed down, she asked Jiang Lingling to help her back to the cave to rest.

Jiang Lingling helped the person back to the cave, left and came back again, and ran to her and asked worriedly: "Madam, is it any serious problem that Sister Wan's fetus is moving?"

She was very worried. In just a short time, she was either sick or had fetal convulsions, and her iron body couldn't bear it.

"It's okay, just rest for two days." Wen Xian thought for a moment and said, "If you're worried, I'll pick up some herbs and you can boil them later and give them to her."

She actually felt that there was no need to take medicine. Jiang Jingwan had good physical fitness and the fetus was very stable and healthy in her belly.

However, if you are worried about fetal gas, it is not impossible to drink some anti-fetal medicine.
