Chapter 032 Craftsman Talent

Xiao Yun and others stayed on the 10th day of the tauren tribe's idle meal. Qingyan, who had left for many days, came back at midnight carrying a big cat.

Qingyan seems to have had a hard time leaving these days. The fat of his body raised by the snow werewolf tribal cat for a winter have been basically lost. His cheeks are sunken, his face is blue, and his golden eyeballs are bloodshot. He asked for water before he could say anything else when he entered the door. He poured half a pitcher of water to slow down.

Xiao Yun roughly checked his body surface during his drinking water. The fur clothes that Qingyan wore at left time were rotten into strips. At the moment, only half of the fur pants were left, and the clothes on the upper body were gone without wool vest. There are many wounds of different sizes on the dark skin.

Fortunately, his skin is thick and the wounds are not deep, but there seems to be a lot of bleeding, which can be seen from the blue face of Qingyan.

Checked this guy, it's just a flesh wound and not bad. After drinking water, he can still have the strength to eat, Xiao Yun was relieved. Only then did he go to see the big cat back from Qingyan-well... it was really a big cat, the length of the head and tail is about 1.5 meters, with wide forehead, short kiss, pale golden eyeball and black pupil, thick hair, brown-black coat color, with a few white and black markings, lighter coat color of the tail and limbs than that of the back, and black annular fine lines on the tail... ignoring the difference in body size, it is indeed very similar to the manul on the earth.

..... The character is similar to that of a manul, he is not close to people. Although he seems to have some physical problems and is weak, he is very fierce and stares at the snow werewolf with his eyes, dismissing the water and food sent by the red leaves, which makes Hongye very embarrassed.

Fortunately, this silent stalemate did not last long. Qingyan swallowed a few pieces of dried meat maliciously and got up to appease his kin: "It's fine now, Qiu, they are all our friends and the snow werewolves who took me in."

This large manul took a spiritual look at Qingyan, It seems that he can no longer hold on his cat form, and his body changes suddenly, from a large cat to a human form-

Xiao Yun's eyes slowly widen...

The relationship between the snow werewolf tribes and the cat tribes, is cold, There is even hatred among individual tribes. The original owner Ayun's tribe was robbed of the grassland by a large cat tribe of more than 500 people at the beginning. In recent years, it has not suffered less from the cat tribes along the way when they migrated to the southwest border of the grassland. Therefore, Dahe has a deep memory of Qingyan, which seldom turned against the snow werewolf and gave them fruit.

Under this indifferent and alienated position, the snow werewolves naturally don't know much about the cat tribe, and have never even seen a few small cat tribesmen. Except for the patriarch, even Hongye has never seen a small cat tribe leader... …This manul cat clan appeared in real human form, and even Hongye leaned forward in surprise.　　

"It's really pocket-sized!" This was Xiao Yun's first thought, "Like an small elf!" This was Xiao Yun's second thought. The human form of the manul cat tribe is also dragging a fluffy hair that has not been taken care of for many years, and the skin is so dirty that it is not visible (the tauren who are good at farming have been exposed to water for a long time, so they are clean, but a race that is only good at grazing and hunting is so dirty ), the height is about the same as the gray dwarf, about four or five meters, but the wide of body is not as wide as the gray dwarf. He is relatively slender, with a small face and big eyes. Ignoring the cat's ears on top of his head and the claws on his five fingers, the proportion of his body is entirely human in nimiature...Uh, it is not too much to say he looks like an small elf.

"He is so small." Hongye called out directly, "He has been seriously injured!" 　　

Yes, the wounds of this small manul cat clan is more serious than Qingyan, and there are still large pieces of dried blood on his dirty skin. "This wound... how long has it been hurted? Oxhorn, go to call Qin and ask her for hot water, Uncle Ashan, help me get the rhubarb from the rabbit skin bag, the patriarch, give me the fabric you collected." Xiao Yun hurriedly instructed the tribe to move, and then asked Uncle Ashan to make a fire in the yard, boil the dried meat, and then feed it to the manul cat clan.　　

Cat clan also has a strong self-healing power, even small cat clan should not leave such dense wounds. When Xiao Yun asked, Qing Yan showed a bitter expression.

"Qiu alone cooperated with our plan." 　　

"Huh?!" Xiao Yun gave the rabbit cat tribe a meal with the animal skin cushion.

"Qiu is the only warrior of the manul clan. When I left, there was still an 18-member manul clan. Now there are only eleven left..." Qingyan said painfully, "The snow in this winter is too big and too cold, and there was very little food distributed to them in the tribe. Qiu had to go hunting in the snow with a few other manul people... They were out of luck and met the snow beasts wandering from the north, and only Qiu escaped back."　　

Xiao Yun's face was twitched, besides wild beasts and beasts, there were some wandering beasts on the grassland. These monsters are strong and weak. If they are weak, they are like the manticore that was driven away by Uncle Ah Shan. If they are strong, there is no upper limit... The manul cat clan is unlucky that troubles keep coming up one after another.

"With the manul clan loss of so many warriors, the tribe despise them even more... When the snow was the heaviest, Qiu came to the tauren tribe and asked for some food, but this still failed to save his manul clan." Qingyan is in a low mood when he was in the snow werewolf. While the tribe was sleeping on the warm heatable bed and drinking hot broth, the manul clan had been struggling for survival...

"... Doesn't this mean that the situation of the manul clan in the cat tribe is worse than we thought before?" Xiao Yun frowned, and in the semi-enclosed environment, the weak who had been treated extremely harshly suddenly resisted. He was often bullied even harder. When he was a child, he lived in the countryside and heard such stories. As a result... his plan was a bit reckless!

"There are only eleven people unable to reproduce the tribe. When I went back, the tribe had already planned to send them to another tribe for exchange... But the manul clan is not prosperous, and the nearest cat tribe does not even have manul clan." Qing Yan showed a self-deprecating smile, "After I made suggestions to Qiu, Qiu decided to do this...but his plan is to lead the rest of the clan to join the tauren."

Xiao Yun's eyelids twitched, and he looked down and fell asleep. Qiu: "This is not a good idea, the tauren tribe is too close the cat tribe."

In ancient feudal villages in China, some people in the village committed "traitors and heretics" behavior that did not conform to popular values, and the villagers often resorted to lynching to wipe out the stains in the village. The tribes on the grassland do not have the "morality" of cannibalism, and the tribes who are excluded by disgust are generally exiled... But what's going on when exiled people run to nearby tribe? When the two tribes deal with each other in the future, will the self-respecting of original tribe still be needed?

Like being stupid and cute snow werewolf, they all want their self-respecting too. When they come to the tauren tribe, they will try their best to bring the most valuable trade items and put on the best leather. Will the cats are more arrogant than the snow werewolves have no shame? How long has the cat tribe been at odds with the tiger clan for its independence from cat clan?

Qingyan could only smile bitterly. When he was exiled, he didn't find the nearby tauren tribe, but gritted his teeth and went to the snow werewolf tribe thousands of miles away: "Almost half of the remaining tribes in Qiu are cubs. He doesn't believe in Snow Wolf people. I can take in so many cubs, so...I can't convince him. "

　　 Qingyan can't say that the cat tribe never keeps useless cub slaves. Comparing with the snow werewolves that even fragile humans like Sal is willing to take in, Qingyan doesn't know how to explain this sad and rough manner which the cat tribes have.

In multi-ethnic tribes, small ethnic groups, as a minority ethnic group, do things that disgust tribal resource distributors, such as stalking the land for supplies and fair treatment, and stealthily snatching resources from other ethnic groups during the period. After the whole clan is angry and complains, they propose to leave the group or threaten to leave the group to ask for supplies. The grassland tribes who sometimes "honor murder and moral lynching" naturally want this useless and annoying trash to get out. This is the plan that Xiao Yun and Qingyan discussed.

But the neighbor you threatened to go to is actually a neighbor nearby, which is a little bit of recklessness...

Xiao Yun sighed, and fell on Qingyan: "So, you exposed yourself?"

Qingyan didn't care much about his injuries, and nodded: "I can't watch Qiu be killed... I swear to the tribe, I will Take Qiu and the other rabbits away, and they will never show up where they can see." He reached out and gently wiped off the cold sweat for Qiu, "Qiu is in a bad condition. I was afraid that he would not be able to survive, so I rushed back overnight. , The other manuls are still on the way for the time being."

Xiao Yun nodded: "Well, when the Oxhorn come back, I will let him bring food, and you will pick them up with the horns."

Qingyan expressed gratitude and was driven away. The manuls who came out really need food very much now.

Xiao Yun thought about it again, and said, "Take all the manuls over, and we'll go back. Your presence is likely to anger the cat clan again. If the people who exiled you back then hold grudges... let's not take this risk."

Qingyan struggled and felt guilty: "Ayun, I..."

Xiao Yun raised his hand to stop him: "Well, we are a tribe, don't talk too much. Anyway, our tribe is far away from the cat tribe, so we are not afraid. They hit the door."

Qingyan was so touched that he didn't know what to say, and just nodded vigorously-even if he was a cat clan, or a cat clan, he was also a cat clan, but what did it matter? The snow wolf man didn't care about it.

On the afternoon of the eleventh day, a group of big and small cats came back from Oxhorn of the manul clan...　　

On the twelfth day, the snow werewolf troop, who had eaten and drank a lot of food from the tauren, finally set off—there were only seven people. Eleven more cat tribes and nineteen gray dwarves have been added to the snow werewolf team, no matter in which way it is a good harvest.

With so many people and supplies, the big group of snow werewolves was not as fast as when they came on the way back. In the middle, they went to the gray dwarf hiding place to pick up the more than 20 gray dwarves left behind. The team suddenly expanded to more than sixty people, the speed of advance has dropped a little.　　

When Xiao Yun finally saw the mud-brick buildings next to each other on the plain, it was one month after they left the tauren tribe. The people guarding the sheepfold spotted this huge team, and when they approached and saw the snow werewolves in the team, they were immediately overjoyed, and rushed over with the team—　　

"Stop! Don't approach!" Xiao Yun immediately stretched out his hand, "Just stand there. Don't move!"

The two tribesmen who were still hanging smiles on their faces looked at each other and stopped honestly.

"Everyone rest in place." Xiao Yun greeted backwards, then turned to look at the two clansmen, "Who are in the tribe? Call them all, bring all the pottery pots and basins with water, and then bring wood to make a fire here. By the way, bring Sal's leather knive. Be careful, no one can approach us, and no one can go beyond where you are standing now." 　

Not to mention that the two clansmen were stunned and rode on Ayue's back with Xiao Yun. The patriarchs were all dumbfounded: "Why is this, Ayun?" 　　

Xiao Yun looked back at the patriarch with a deep face, pinched up his half-length and not-short hair, and raised it: "Patriarch, do you see this?" 　　

"Yes I do, it's your hair." The patriarch was puzzled.

"——Lice! Lice from the gray dwarf and the manuls! Didn't you see these knickknacks crawling around in my hair!" Xiao Yun hissed and shouted, "Everyone shaves bald! Everyone who can transform form turns into a mud and scrubbing again! Get rid of the lice before contacting other people and refusing multiple infections!" 　

More than forty gray dwarves, eleven rabbits, one black panther, and five snow werewolves all looked at him dumbfounded.

So in the next few days, Xiao Yun's group of servants was forced to stay outside the tribe to wash, scrub, and shave their heads...　

The gray dwarves won't transform other form themselves, and the big project of shaving their heads was completed on the first day—— Uh, only a skinning knife can't actually shave a bald head. You can only cut it into stubble as much as possible... The head is okay, even female gray dwarfs don't pay much attention to appearance; shaving body hair is more headache, adult (3 The gray dwarfs over ten years old have very thick chest hair, and Xiao Yun's craftsmanship is not very good, so he has to make more wounds from time to time. When it came time to take a bath, someone always touched the wound and groaned with pain.

The snow werewolves have been trained by Xiao Yun for a whole winter, and they have no resistance to shaving and transforming and scrubbing. The problem on the rabbit is more troublesome; they don't care if the stubble head is shaved into pits, anyway. If you have the opportunity to feed on your face, that is, if you wash it, most cats don't like to get their bodies wet...　　

Coaxed and washed the group of cats clean and boiled in a big pot of leather clothing of gray dwarves and manul-these two races are not very hygienic. What if they bring any bacteria to infect the tribesmen?

In the newly built tent camp outside the tribe, the manuls soldier Qiu, who washed the thick mud and let the yellowish white complexion reappear, and his ten tribesmen were sitting by the campfire shivering, sometimes someone reached out to touch the stubble head , Youyuan's eyes kept glaring at Xiao Yun who was sitting in a circle.　　

Xiao Yun ignored the little grudges of these arrogant cats, they all cooperated when they shaved their heads, and even the hatred of shaving their heads was remembered as soon as they were scrubbed. As expected, the cats had a bad temper.

"Cough, um, pay attention, everyone. You have heard what the gray dwarves discussed with me before. They are not busy building their own villages. They want to find mineral veins first, and then build the village near the mineral veins when they find it." Xiao Yun Zheng said authentically, "As for you, if you have few people, it is not appropriate for you to go to other places to build houses, so I suggest you choose a place closer to the snow wolf people to live in. It is safe and secure. If you eat, you can also eat together with everyone nearby. Convenient, Qiuqiu, what do you think?" 　　

Qiu's wound is almost healed now. The temperature on the grasslands of this world is not high, and the outdoor temperature is only a few degrees, but the rabbit is very cold resistant, even in autumn. Even though his injuries were not as tightly wrapped as Thrall, he wore a straight jacket with animal skins given to him by Qing Yanyun. Well, Qing Yan wore a shirt that fits him like a dress...　　

Qiu was taken aback: "Ayun, my name is Qiu, not Qiuqiu."

"...Don't worry about these details, let's talk about your plans first." Xiao Yun said. He can't say the single-character name. It was only 20 years ago that the fluffy romance drama became popular in his past world on the earth.

There are only seven adults left in this group of manuls, and Qiu is the only soldier. Xiao Yun who has to make decisions must ask Qiu's opinion; But... although Qiu has the instinct to bless the tribe, he has no experience in this area. After hearing this, I scratched my scalp for a while and didn't know what to say: "I don't know what to say." 　　

"Then you live here." Xiao Yun raised his finger to the surrounding tent, "The gray dwarf will tear it down in the next few days. Go to their tent to look for mines, the place is vacant and build a big room here, oh, it's the kind of house that Qingyan took you to see in front. Is such a room temporarily enough for you to live in?"

After completing a series of procedures for shaving their head, removing lice, bathing and changing clothes, Xiao Yun did not directly arrange the gray dwarves to live in the tribe, but set up two rows of tents for them outside the tribe to make do with them first- just two shared the side by side heatable beds in a mud-brick house, it is not a good to arrange who lives first, it's better not to live at all.

Manul has always lived in the cat tribe by digging out half a pit and then building a shed-top crypt. After shaved and washed, Qingyan took Qiu to see him in the warm fire-heatable side by side bed room where he slept for a winter. Qiu Just fell in love as he took a look. The manuls resistance to the cold does not mean that people like self-abuse, and cats do not love radiators if you have a cat as a pet you know the cat like it in the winter. He immediately nodded and agreed to build the same house.

Xiao Yun moved his hips to get closer to Qiu, and squeezed his palms and looked at it: "But...your hand, and your size, I'm afraid you can't afford this kind of house yourself." 　　

Qiu lowered his head and saw Xiao Yun. The snow wrewolf cub's palm is one size bigger than the manul warrior's palm...what can he do, the size of the rmanul, he is also very desperate!

Xiao Yun squeezed his palm and fingers, then let go, with a serious expression: "Otherwise, I will find a few snow werewolves who do not go to cultivate the land to build a house. You can help take over the tasks they are responsible for, everyone. How about swapping jobs and getting it right with each other?" 　　

"Okay." Qiu answered, and then asked, "What work are we going to do? Can we do it?" 　　

There is no tribe on the grassland that can raise idlers, any ethnic group. As long as the cubs can run and jump in the tribe, they have to do things, which greatly reduces Xiao Yun's psychological burden of using child labor...Uh, although it's not much, the cubs of the snow werewolf are the same need to work . "

It's definitely possible. It's very simple. It's processing wool, weaving rattan and straw, weaving wool and so on." Xiao Yun smiled and said, "After eating, I will show you after a glance. If you get started, I guess. It's about learning. If you're proficient, it's easier to do it." 　　

Qiu nodded again like a chicken pecking rice... Weaving rattan and grass, the cubs of rabbits did not do less, although the wool has not been knitted, but It is never more laborious than rattan.

Xiao Yun smiled and smiled. He had more confidence in the manul clan than Qiu. On the way back, he had already tested the flexibility of the manuls' fingers in the name of teaching them to weave cane sandals-the cat tribe disliked the manuls as not strong enough, but he really likes the small hands of manuls, slender and flexible, and the sharp claws of the fingertips can be freely stretched and attached to the fingers and are not afraid of catching bad things. It is simply a good seedling for handicraftsmen!

Bring the soup made of lamb bones, the pottery pots with boiled meat and bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms, distribute the pottery bowls, let these manuls feel the skill points of the snow werewolves in food and the luxuriant pottery, after feeding seven manul adoults and four manal cubs with the meals of the appitite of three snow werewolves, Xiao Yun led them to the activity room for "internship training"-really wait for the house to start work before letting them work? That would be a waste of available labor.

The heated floor heating activity room indoors is much warmer than outside. It is not humid and quite dry. The young manul cubs squinted their eyes as soon as they came in, lay down and rolled on the ground, and did not dislike the dried acorns on the ground; let them sit down and watch how the snow werewolf spins the thread, and the buttocks touch the warm ground, even adult manul are a little bit ready to move...　　

The hand-cranked spinning machine that was made at that time made is just right size for the manuls come to usd. After watching it for a while, teach them how to use it. Even Qiu, a warrior, can learn faster than the females of the snow werewolf and become proficient in just a few minutes—the race gap!

Six hand-cranked spinning machines made this group of manul adults and children "play", and within two hours of work, they could spin out the amount of Fleece, Qingcao and Dahe that they would normally worked for a long time...　　

Xiao Yun was excited, and his surface was calm. Coaxed a few manul cubs that were as small as the kindergarten big classmates, and taught them how to knit with wooden sweater needles.

The very young manul cub couldn't hold the needle, the two older ones held the needle with their dexterous little hands and quickly knit an edge under the guidance of Xiao Yun...　　

"Huh Huh?"The manul cubs who can't hold the needle show a cute expression of surprise and admiration.　　

"This is... this is the soft cloth that Qingyan wears?" Adult manuls gathered around in surprise, "This...much faster than weaving!"

The adult manuls looked at Xiao Yun eagerly.　　

Xiao Yun spun out more sweater needles.

Adult manuls woven woolen pieces and showed them to other tribes happily: "It turns out that Qingyan's soft clothes are made like this. It's amazing!" 　　

"Teach me and teach me!"

Manuls were playing spinning and knitting sweaters. From time to time, someone dexterously rolled and stretched on the ground, then sat up and continued to work; between pairs of dexterous little hands, thick wool was wound around the yarn spindle Knitted under the sweater needles, the prototype of sweaters...　　

Xiao Yun looked at them with a mom's smile; Qingyan came, and Qingyan looked at them with a mom's smile too; Qingcao and Dahe came, with two more mom's smiles; Fleece was coming the house with bouncing and little jumping and a more aunt's smile...　　

"So cute!" The innocent Fleece has cultivated aesthetics under the care-free life of a little half a year...and nurtured a concept of cuteness, jokingly ran in and hugged the youngest manul cub, rolled around, and took out herself privately saved fried beans and pitiful pork floss feed...　　

Qingyan looked at Xiao Yun eagerly, Xiao Yun raised his hand to stop: "Needless to say, you are free, you don't need to knit a sweater in the future."

Qingyan immediately rushed. Roll into the activity room.　　

Qingcao and Dahe also looked at Xiao Yun eagerly.　　

"They help us spin and weave, and we build a house for them." Xiao Yun said.　　

Qingcao and Dahe also rushed in...　　

"Hey! Don't crush the cubs!" Xiao Yun shouted.
