Kuai Chuan Teaches You To Be a Man

The meat provided by a jumping rabbit is only enough for them to deal with one meal at most. It is said that hunting is not cost-effective. Qiao Yue just likes it, not rabbit meat. He likes rabbit skin and wants to save more for Yu Xia in winter. Rabbit fur cape.

The winter in the Southern Continent is indeed not as cold as the north, nor is it warm. Thinking that there may be a cold wave, when they hunt, they try to choose the breed that can recycle the fur, and save some leather materials.

The original bow and arrow was relatively primitive. Even with the name of a sharpshooter, the efficiency was still low. After the improvement, Qiao Yue's combat ability was much stronger, and because he was shooting bows and arrows every day, his eyesight and feel were also enhanced. .

I had to aim carefully at the beginning, but now I can adjust it to the right position by feeling, and I can basically hit the target with an arrow in the past.

He then raised his standards, requiring himself not only to shoot, but also to ensure the integrity of his fur as much as possible. The gradual increase in requirements prompted him to make rapid progress. The time he lived here was not too long, and Qiao Yue felt that he had changed a lot. , he became stronger, in every sense.

Qiao Yue was steadily gathering skins. Yu Xia was busy with two things recently, first making dried fruit and second knitting sweaters.

It is relatively easy to make dried fruit. Ajin helps to clean it, and a stone helps to slice it. The drying process is relatively long. Fortunately, the temperature has gradually increased recently, and the dehydration is still fast. The only thing is that someone has to watch the weather. It is necessary to take back the things that have been exposed to the sun, I am afraid that the rainstorm will wash away the work in vain.

Qiao Yue took the initiative to forecast the weather. It was up to him to decide when to post it and when to take it back. So far, nothing has gone wrong. Yu Xia was sitting in a well-ventilated place with a white-toothed bone-making needle, and leisurely knitting wool. She didn't know how to do complicated stitches, and she didn't want to tick any patterns. She only thought about keeping warm, and at the same time, she tried to keep herself steady. Some, don't get a piece of loose, tight, crooked, other than that, don't think about it, wear it under the sweater on the left and right, the ugly is ugly.

Yu Xia is glad that she has not let go of the soft gold in spring - cashmere. At that time, she ran all over the mountains and fields, swiping the whole neighborhood, and looking at the piles of cashmere threads in the frame, she felt a lot more at ease.

When the first cashmere sweater was ready, she urged Qiao Yue to wash it and try it on for him in the coolest morning. .

Qiao Yue raised his hands and looked at it, then lowered his head again: "I feel quite suitable, what do you think, Xia Xia?" After speaking, he stepped back and wanted Yu Xia to take a good look, but Yu Xia reached out and patted the idiot. "Don't play tricks, take it off if you don't have any problem, if you wear it for a while, you'll be hot and sweaty."

Qiao Yue carefully took off the cashmere sweater, folded it into a small rattan frame, and placed it on the stone shelf next to it. After making sure it wouldn't get wet, there would be no animal tide, and there would be no moth-eaten worms, so he squatted over to look at the ball of yarn Yu Xia left in the frame: "Xia Xia, why did you make mine first? You are thin, use yarn to save, you should Knit two pieces for yourself first, and wear them in the snow season."

Yu Xia squatted down next to him in the past, tilted his head to look at so-and-so who was worried that the wool wasn't enough, and assured him that he wouldn't use that much.

"Thanks to everyone who doesn't like to eat mutton, there are quite a few goats around here. After being combed, there are still so many threads. We have enough for the four of us. What should we pay attention to? Besides..."

Qiao Yue waited, waited, and waited for the next sentence, so he looked away from the yarn ball and looked around. Yu Xia took the opportunity to kiss him, and after the kiss, he smiled as if he had licked honey, which was so sweet.

"Besides, I love you and pet you, but I can't help thinking of you."

Unprepared and suddenly sprinkled with sugar, Qiao Yue's heart suddenly became hot, even hotter than when he tried the cashmere sweater just now. I also felt that the whole person was floating in the air, and the clouds under my feet were like cotton candy, and each time it was soft and floating.

It seems that I can make idol dramas. At this time, Ah Jin's loud voice sounded outside the cave: "Brother Yue, are you awake? Sister-in-law, what are we eating today?"

The atmosphere was instantly destroyed, Yu Xia looked at the handsome face that was very close to him, and smiled.

She got up to prepare the hot soup, lifted the wooden board resting on the egg jar, and took out a few eggs. When the fire started and Qiao Yue hadn't even gone out, Ah Jin sat cross-legged on the stone platform at the entrance of the cave, holding his head and muttering, "Brother Yue hasn't woken up yet? Was he tired last night? Look at you, sister-in-law. Very spirited..."

Yu Xia didn't pick up, Qiao Yue came out from the inside with a dark face, and gave the club an angry look. Every time the atmosphere was just right, he could hear him babbling outside.

It's not that I'm hungry, it's just asking what to eat, or when I can eat it, or screaming and saying it's boring and I want to fight...

There were several times when Qiao Yue couldn't help but want to shoot him to death, thinking that it would not be easy to find another labor force that was better than cattle, so he had to endure it.

This club still has advantages, he is better than obedient.

The first batch of dried fruit was made very quickly. Because it was not baked, it was still soft to the touch. It tasted sweet and sour, and it was quite chewy. Ah Jin is not too interested in it. In his opinion, the fruity taste is not as fragrant as the meaty taste, but the stone is good to eat. He also said that the children in the tribe definitely like it. After speaking, he hesitated for a while and asked: "Sister-in-law, can you teach everyone this skill?"

Judging from his uncertain appearance, Yu Xia was both angry and funny. In fact, he didn't have so many skills in making dried fruit, he just had to be patient. He had to choose the right melon and fruit and cut it into even strips or slices. You should be more careful in drying later, don't let the rain get wet if you leave it alone...

You don't need to teach this, you can learn it just by looking at it, and you have to do it slowly.

Qiao Yue slowly ate Yu Xia's piece and said after eating, "Someone in the tribe is learning to do it. I don't know if it's right or not. Trying always finds the way.”

"It doesn't matter, I originally wanted you to take some out and share it with others in the tribe. This can be stored for a long time and can be put in the snow season."

Ajin likes to be in the limelight, he took the initiative to take the job, took a bowl and packed several kinds and then went out to show off. These sweet and sour dried fruits swept the entire Lieyang tribe in one day, especially women and women. The children like it. They take the small piece that they gave to themselves and chew a little bit with their front teeth. It's delicious! Eat a little more, it's super delicious!

"Akin, tell me! How did you do this?"

"Is this made by A Xia again?"

"Did A Xia do it?"

A Jin nodded fiercely: "My sister-in-law made it. In the rainy season, there are more fruits and vegetables than in the snowy season. My sister-in-law said that we will make these dried fruits in the rainy season and put them away to eat in the snowy season, which means the same thing as mushrooms. This It's the first batch we made, and my sister-in-law asked me to bring it for everyone to taste, and you can make some if you like."

The leader didn't know when he came over. He was moved after hearing A Jin's speech, saying that A Xia is really a good woman, not only willing to live with A Yue in a steadfast manner, but also pretending to be a tribe in her heart.

He followed up with some mobilization, and also meant to assign work, let the women gather more fruits and return them to make fruit. As for the men, the hunting team still has to go out every day, and they will come back when they hit the prey that day, and come back to do the work. Rattan basket. The salt I exchanged with the Feiyu tribe is almost finished. In the rainy season, because the food is easy to find, the amount of salt that can be exchanged for the prey is small, so I will take the basket next time.

There are also people who disagree, saying that it will be replaced by them, and they will learn how to do it after watching and watching.

"If it's that easy, why are you learning so slowly?"

"Just take the basket. If you don't take the basket, you have to hunt tigers, black pigs, and cattle and beasts. After hunting, they are no longer fresh and sent to the Feiyu tribe, and you can't change a few salt bags."

The leader has already considered, this basket is made to be used, as long as it is carried out, it will always be seen, this is a matter of time. Instead of hiding it, it's better to come back when no one else has changed anything. The skill of weaving baskets was taught to them by Ayue, and they will be given more salt bags to Ayue at that time.

What the leader meant was that he had discussed it with several elders. This was a unanimous decision, and everyone would no longer have any objections. Take another bite of the dried fruit that Ah Jin brought, and then start a new wave of busyness.

Before every rain, it was like a war, and everyone rushed up the mountain to pick mushrooms. Today, the scene at that time is repeated, and the men are looking for rattan with enough toughness, ready to deal with it, and then start to weave the basket. The women came out of the tribe in groups carrying large sacks and went to collect melons and fruits.

For a long time after that, someone in the tribe was staring at the weather, watching the dark clouds drifting over and roaring immediately, telling everyone that it was going to rain. On the matter of making reserves, all are surprisingly united.

Some people, like hamsters, have secretly hoarded a lot of food. There are also people who eat and eat while cooking, but after making several batches, it seems that there are not many leftovers.

The woman in charge of the housework stared at the basket that was more than half empty and fell into contemplation. She was still pondering which link went wrong, and why her own house was so much less than other houses. She found that the man and his son came in front and back, and one reached out and grabbed a handful while eating. Side sighed, saying that this rainy season is really good, really happy.

...

This rainy season is indeed happy, but have you thought about the snow season that follows? ? ?

Look at other people's houses, there are several baskets of dried mushrooms, piled in the corner of the cave, and the newly prepared dried fruit is one or two baskets, they are all saying that with so much to eat, it's easier to live in the cold, even if those are on the The elderly, even the orphans who have no one to help, are full of confidence in surviving this snow season.

What about your own home?

As soon as it was done, it was announced that it was almost eaten...

The big fat boy and his club father let the woman with the fried hair chase out half the tribe, scolding while chasing. The movement was so loud that many families squatted at the entrance of the cave with their bowls in hand, pointing to his family's farce to eat.

"You can eat it! The four children of Ayu's family can't even eat it! That's for you to waste now? How do you spend the snow season? You say, how is the snow season?!!"

"You two stop! Just pick melons and fruits for me, and return how much you eat!"

...

At about the same time as this farce happened, each family had prepared baskets for exchanging salt bags. Carry the bag back.

During this time, they have invested a lot of hand-woven baskets. According to statistics, there are hundreds of baskets. Rattan baskets are now the only one in mainland China. It is troublesome and time-consuming to make. There should be no shortage of salt bags. Estimate the distance between the two tribes. This is a terrible job.

"I think at least a team of 30 or 40 people should be formed, or all hunting teams will go." Too few people may be robbed or attacked.

"Let A-Xia go too, ride a bull beast, she has a lot of load."

Having said that, many people nodded, thinking that Yu Xia should go. A lot of people were peeking at Qiao Yue's face, but they didn't see anything, so they asked him by name, "That's your woman, Ayue, tell me."

"Let me tell you? I think Xia Xia can handle it herself, just go to someone to show her the way."

Seeing the expressions of "you're crazy" from others, Qiao Yue glanced back at his cave and said, "Can I make a bet? I bet she can transport all the hundreds of salt bags back to the tribe in one day. Until you lose five salt bags to me."

"Can't it be done?"

"You can do whatever you want."

Someone asked with anticipation, "Is it okay for you to give A-Xia to me?"

Qiao Yue stared at him for a while, then narrowed his eyes: "What did you say?"

This buddy thought of Qiao Yue's arrow and a fat rabbit, and he shrank his neck: "I said that the skill of weaving baskets was taught to everyone by A Yue, and I should have given you a few in exchange for the salt bags."

After he changed his mouth, Qiao Yue looked away, the buddy took a deep breath after realizing it, and sweat flowed down.

The big guys didn't have any opinion on sending the salt bags. What they cared about was that Qiao Yue said that Yu Xia could bring all the hundreds of salt bags back without any effort. Someone was full of curiosity and asked her what to do. She couldn't feel the impact with her words. Qiao Yue thought about it and suggested that she should show it to everyone.

The leader was very puzzled. It stands to reason that no man would be assured that his woman would go out alone, or go out alone to make deals with other tribes. A Yue had too much confidence in A Xia.

He soon learned about the source of Qiao Yue's confidence. Qiao Yue went back and told his wife shamelessly that there was a profitable business in front of him. A trip to help the tribe to transport salt bags can make a lot of white, so white that these are enough to make bacon back.

Yu Xia thought for a while and said, "Even if they don't take this order, they will still send you. The folk customs here are so simple."

"It's not good to take advantage of them in vain. We can earn salt by our ability."

Yu Xia touched his auricle and said with a smile, "Yes, that's right, I can indeed earn salt with my ability..."

Qiao Yue's face was about to catch up with the corner of the city wall. His ears were only slightly hot, but he didn't feel red from the touch. He also said that it is also a skill to marry such a capable wife! He is awesome!

"Okay, stop joking, I should go this time, let the hunting team be afraid of encountering an ambush. If there is no ambush, there may be a heavy rain. I will take the cattle for a walk, according to the distance you said, in the morning You can come back on the same day you go, as long as there is someone to guide you, and you are not afraid of being robbed.”

Like the worlds of the Republic of China, Qiao Yue is quite worried. In this primitive society, the more advanced tribes are rough bows and arrows, stone spears and stone axes, and there are beasts as bodyguards. In such places, Xia Xia can walk sideways. An accident may happen, but it may scare others into an accident.

Qiao Yue and the rest of the tribe watched Yu Xia ride out the door on a bull and a beast. They clucked their teeth while waiting to see the so-called evidence.

It may be a bit exaggerated to describe it like this, but I heard the clutter of hooves, and more than one beast rushed towards their tribe.

Immediately, someone panicked and prepared to notify all the fallen warriors to come out to fight, and let the women and children take refuge. Before there was time, I heard Qiao Yue say, "Don't make a fuss, look carefully."

A herd of cattle rushed over from afar. It looked like there were about 10 or 20 cattle and beasts. The one at the front was the largest, with a familiar person on its back.

"It's A-Xia! That's A-Xia!"

"My grandma! A-Xia has returned with a group of cattle and beasts!"

Even the battle-hardened warriors couldn't help but have weak legs, and several others took a step back and then another step, and unknowingly, Qiao Yue was pushed to the front.

Speaking responsibly, the primitive cow baby carrying Yu Xia could not wait to rush over to kill Qiao Yue's bastard. Yu Xia saw that the distance was almost there, and when he patted it, it couldn't help but slow down and ordered the younger brothers to follow. Slow down.

From a closer look, there were really twenty cows, and Yu Xia was firmly in the lead. Seeing her like that, she was relaxed and comfortable, not panicking at all. Not only don't panic, but also ask if everyone has enough? Can you prove it? "Look, can my twenty cows and beasts carry a hundred salt bags?"

The brothers of the Lieyang tribe all covered their hearts.

"Not only can you bring back the salt bag, you can also give it the salt lake..."

"This battle, I really can't see it is to change the salt."

"The Feiyu tribe will be scared to death."

The Lieyang Tribe was immune. Anyone who saw Yu Xia riding a cow and beast back and forth a few times every day would turn from panic at the beginning to numbness now. After the sudden increase in the amount, they really frightened them again. After all, they already knew something about Yu Xia, and they were more excited than being shocked by the sky.

It used to be like this. The proportion of salt that can be exchanged in the snow season is large, and the rainy season is small. In the rainy season, they will not accept ordinary prey. You have to send some that are not easy to hunt. If you send it fresh, you can replace it with a few more salt bags. If it deteriorates, you will have to deduct the weight... In the future, I can directly call the profiteer tribe, but there is no way. They occupy the salt lake. There is only one salt lake in the surrounding area. It is inevitable to raise the price.

This kind of approach will definitely be complained by other tribes around. They grasp the scale just right, and they are stuck at that point, which not only makes you uncomfortable, but also makes you unable to retaliate against him. By trading salt bags, the Feather Tribe is richer than other tribes around.

Seeing how good they are all over the place, I'm really angry, this time, 20 bulls and beasts rushed over with iron hooves, shouldn't he freak out?

Thinking about their leader's usual arrogant attitude, and then thinking about the scene where he was scared to pee, just thinking about it, he felt that his revenge had been avenged, and he felt more comfortable.

"Let A-Xia go over, she will reach our team alone."

"I just don't know how much salt can be exchanged for a basket. The **** Feiyu tribe is sure that we can't lack it."

After the fun was over, they continued to feel uneasy again, Yu Xia thought about it, and then expressed her personal opinion: "If you change it, you will always give it. The transaction must be fair and sincere, and the price cannot be raised on the ground.”

"Reasonable? He won't listen to you if you are a woman to reason."

Yu Xia raised her eyebrows and asked him, "Really? Niu Baobao under my crotch told me that he should be willing to sit down and talk."

There is a saying that the ceremony is followed by the soldiers. If he really doesn't want to talk about it, he can't force it, just grab it.

You said the Salt Lake belonged to you, and the relevant department issued a certificate to you? Didn't you prove that you're making a fool of yourself?

It is not easy to make a deal because it is not easy to dry the salt. The basket is worth the hard money. The salt lake is born and raised by nature. Can you touch it?

She has done a bit of mobilization for herself. Yu Xia is not too early to see the sky, and it is not suitable to leave today. She asked the tribe to stack up the baskets that are going to be used for trading. Tomorrow morning, depending on the weather, she will hang the baskets when it is sunny. Back of the cow, set off with the herd. The leader remembered another thing and asked who was going with her: "A-Xia hasn't been in our tribe for a long time, and she hasn't gone to change the salt. I'm afraid she won't be able to find her way."

"Of course Ah Yue goes! Let Ah Yue go!"

Qiao Yue thought that how could I find it?

He thought so, but couldn't say it. He pretended to be unpredictable, saying that there were other plans for Shitou to follow. Shitou first got acquainted with the leader, and secondly, he was clever.

The day after that was really a sunny day. Early in the morning, Yu Xia let her be the mount for a trip. He brought his brothers back, washed them briefly, stacked the baskets, and tied them to the cows with straw ropes. She chose Shitou again with a relatively good temper, and asked him to ride on it. He rode around for a while. Seeing that he was in good condition, Shitou quickly mastered his balance. He turned around and hugged Qiao Yue, followed by riding on the back of the cow.

"Then I'm off."

Qiao Yue nodded, and when he saw the bull beast take a few steps, he called out to Yu Xia again: "Be careful while riding on the bull's back, don't fall, come back early."

Yu Xia was very experienced in riding a bull. Considering the long distance, she also prepared a seat cushion. Seeing her galloping forward on the back of the bull, her body naturally undulating with the movements of the bull and the beast running, that movement can be called heroic... Compared with the stone sent to show him the way, there is also a cushion under her buttocks, But the pads couldn't save him either.

He was always nervous, and when he was nervous, his body became tense, and he felt a pain in the grind just one way. He even comforted himself by saying that it hurt a little bit, it was better than falling down and being trampled into meat sauce by iron hoofs.
