Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

To ensure a more stable source of meat for the team, Ye Wan decided to teach some of the stronger members basic hunting techniques. She knew that mastering hunting skills would not only increase the team's food supply but also provide them with a greater sense of security and confidence in the long run. So, she methodically began teaching these members how to make simple hunting tools and design appropriate hunting routes and strategies.

In the morning, Ye Wan gathered a few energetic members of the team and introduced the day's training. She smiled and said, "Hunting isn't just about physical strength; it requires wisdom and skill. We'll start with making tools, then learn how to set traps and track prey. Please follow me as we gradually learn these skills."

She began by teaching everyone how to make simple bows and arrows and hunting traps. With the help of the system, she designed a basic bow and arrow production process, using common wood and plant fibers from the valley for the bow body and bowstring. Ye Wan demonstrated step by step, using a sturdy wooden stick as the bow body and twisting plant fibers into a strong rope for the bowstring, patiently explaining each step. Everyone observed and imitated attentively, frequently asking her for details, their learning process thoroughly engaging.

A young member tried to draw his bow, and the bowstring made a crisp sound. He said excitedly, "I never thought I could make a bow and arrow. It turns out that I can do it with just simple materials. It's amazing!"

Ye Wan encouraged, "Hunting tools don't have to be complicated. The key is finding the right materials and methods. You've done a great job. Next, we can try designing some simple traps."

During the trap-setting tutorial, Ye Wan led the group to a wooded area at the edge of a valley, often infested with small animals. She introduced several common trap types, including tripwires, pressure plates, and pit traps. She explained in detail the principles and usage of each trap, and provided guidance on how to set them for safety and success.

She squatted down and carefully arranged branches and ropes into a simple tripwire trap. She demonstrated, "This trap is suitable for catching small animals, such as rabbits or pheasants. Place the bait on the tripwire. Once the prey touches it, the trap will trigger and trap them."

The young members gathered around her, watching intently as the traps were set. One young man followed her instructions and tried his hand at setting his own trap. When he pulled the rope, the trap tightened smoothly, prompting cheers from the crowd. These small successes boosted their confidence, and many were eager to try again, hoping to master these techniques even more effectively.

In addition to trap design, Ye Wan also used the system to plan several suitable hunting routes for them. She led the team in a terrain survey around the valley and, incorporating the system's map data, mapped out several efficient and safe hunting routes. These routes, systematically analyzed, covered areas of the valley where prey were most likely to be found. This ensured sufficient prey resources while effectively avoiding dangerous terrain and potential threats from wild animals.

She explained to everyone, "Hunting isn't just about walking around and waiting for prey to appear. It requires planning your route and finding the right ambush location. We'll set up small traps to increase your chances of success."

Following her lead, the group set various traps along the hunting route, each one confident and anticipating a good catch. They also learned how to identify prey tracks, observing footprints, feces, and broken branches to determine the animal's species and whereabouts. Under her guidance, the group gradually mastered these hunting skills, even becoming able to flexibly adjust their strategies based on the environment.

Over the next few days, Ye Wan led the hunting team on several small-scale test hunts. She urged everyone to remain quiet, observe the prey's habits, and patiently wait for their prey to enter the trap. Through systematic support and on-site training, everyone gradually mastered how to set traps, track prey, and even learned how to quickly process the prey after capture to preserve the most nutritious parts.

During one hunting trip, they successfully caught a plump hare in a trap. Everyone gathered around excitedly, their joy evident. The young members exclaimed, "Hunting isn't just about physical effort. Many techniques are learned through practice. It's truly eye-opening!"

Ye Wan smiled and nodded. "Yes, hunting requires experience and patience. As long as everyone practices diligently, you will definitely be able to complete hunting missions independently and provide enough meat for the team."

As their hunting skills improved, the team's meat supply gradually stabilized. Each day, different teams took turns checking traps and tracking prey. This rational distribution not only improved hunting efficiency but also provided everyone with opportunities for practical training. Everyone cooperated well during the hunt, with a clear division of labor, and gradually developed a tacit understanding.

Around the campfire at night, the hunting team members shared their findings and experiences. They discussed the effectiveness of different traps and exchanged tips on tracking prey. One member excitedly said, "I never thought I could master these hunting skills. I feel like my life has become more fulfilling."

Another member responded with a smile, "Yeah, now we can not only find food for ourselves, but also provide meat for everyone. It feels great!"

Ye Wan felt immensely gratified to see the changes in her team. She knew that mastering hunting skills not only provided practical assistance to the team but also boosted their confidence and pride. Her hard work and patience gradually helped everyone move from dependence to independence, and everyone found their own value in learning.

She encouraged the hunting team members to continue their research and innovation, experimenting with designing more traps and optimizing their hunting methods. As the team's meat supply gradually increased, their quality of life improved significantly, and many of them beamed with contentment, filled with hope for the future.

Through this period of hunting training, Ye Wan not only ensured a more stable source of meat for the team but also significantly improved everyone's survival skills. Her wisdom and patience benefited every member, and everyone's admiration for her grew even deeper. Her leadership was reflected not only in her daily management but also in the skills she imparted, helping everyone grow.

In this small valley, Ye Wan used her wisdom, selflessness and endless patience to transform a group of once displaced people into a strong and united team.
