Rebirth in Another World: Beginning of the Orcs

Chapter 34:

Late at night, Lixia pushed open Yadi's door.

The two children were sleeping on their backs on the bed, and Bolton rolled to the edge of the bed and lay on his stomach, with one leg dangling by the side of the bed.The animal skin quilt that was originally covering his body was crumpled and fell to the ground.What's more, Yadi turned over and rolled over, not only his arms were across Bolton's head, but his little fat legs were still pressing on Bolton's back.Li Xia really felt that Bolton would definitely have nightmares if he fell asleep like this.Picking up the animal skin, Li Xia carried the two children to the center of the bed and put them away, covered the quilt again, and checked that nothing was wrong before quietly exiting the room.

Not long after the bonfire party, Hockley went to the guest room to rest.Originally wanted to hold Bolton together, but Yadi insisted on living with Bolton. Thinking about the enthusiasm of the two children during the day, they followed their wish.

Lying on the bed, the soft cushions under their bodies are different from their uneven stone beds, and stretching out their hands to touch the wall, there is no sign of dusty fingers.Thinking of everything I saw in the wolf tribe during the day, everything about the wolf tribe is so fresh.In everyone's conversation, I heard people from the wolf tribe say that all these changes were thought up by Lixia, the "beast god messenger".Shocked, Hockley sighed that as a female Lixia, she really has two skills.It seems that this trip to the wolf tribe is really the right one.

The moonlight outside the house was bright and clear, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground through the branches and leaves of blue fruit trees, splashing bits and pieces of stars.It has been almost a year since I came to this world. I have met friends, had laughter and experienced misunderstandings. Although Li Xia often thinks about his previous life, it is just a passing cloud.Now he has a lover and child, although it can't be compared with the previous days, but it also has more comfort and leisure.Li Xia felt that maybe such a day was the most suitable for him.

Go back to the room and close the door, Ernst is still not asleep.Seeing Lixia coming back, Ernst moved into the bed, patted the vacant bed under him, and signaled Lixia to come and sleep.Lixia went to bed and pulled Ernst's arm under the pillow, wrapping one hand around Ernst's strong waist.

It will take a few days for the people of the Bear tribe to go back. With their help, it is relatively easier to go hunting.The fields in the tribe are now planted with cabbage, radish and wheat, not to mention wheat. The growth cycle of cabbage and radish is short, and they can be harvested in a short time.Unlike modern times, there are herbicides here, and the females go to the fields to pull weeds every day.But Ernst will finish these things early before Lixia. Apart from cooking and taking care of the children, Lixia can be said to be the most idle person in the tribe.Seeing that winter is approaching, the most important thing right now is to hoard firewood, sew clothes and make shoes.

Nestled under Ernst's warm chest, Li Xia was thinking.After a long period of maintenance of straw sandals, the feet of the whole family are not as rough and thick as they were at first. Wearing straw sandals in winter will definitely be unbearable to the toes. It is time to develop winter boots.Now that I have cloth at home, I asked Subi to make some close-fitting clothes. Wearing an animal fur coat outside must be much warmer than wearing the "empty" clothes before.If there are more prey, there will be a lot of leftovers. Maybe he can make two down jackets out of it.

There were bursts of low laughter from the chest, and Ernst kissed the top of Lixia's black hair.He knew that the little guy in his arms must have come up with something good again.Every time it's like this, I can't stop having fun.Ernst felt relieved for a while.Since Lixia came to him, everything is so beautiful.I have eaten delicious food, gained a caring lover, and now I have a child who loves to act like a baby.All of this was something that Kevin couldn't feel before.He cherishes what he has now and will stop at nothing to protect this home.

Because he had new ideas in his heart, Lixia ran to Subi's house early in the morning, and kidnapped Molinda along with him.

"Li Xia, you got up so early today." Soapy opened the door while yawning and stretching. He just woke up with a mess of hair.Morinda who followed Lixia was not much better.He was directly picked up from the bed by Li Xia, without even washing his face, there was still a saliva mark on his cheek.

"Who knows, Li Xia said he has a new idea to talk about." Morinda was not polite, pushed Subi away and ran towards the well platform, regardless of what they were going to do after that, let's wash his face first.Just now Li Xia directly pulled him out, and I don't know if anyone saw him on the road of honor.

Li Xia was also polite, and walked into the house with the cotton cloth.He had brought cotton from home this time, and he was counting on Soapy to make him clothes.After the two men finished washing, the three of them sat around the dining table in the living room to discuss business.

Before Lixia came to this world, there was no such thing as shoes in the Al continent. It was fine in summer, but female orcs usually wrapped their feet in animal skins in winter.But this is not modern after all, there will be warm winters caused by global warming caused by the air pollution greenhouse effect, Li Xia remembers, except for the heavy snow that he can build a snowman when he was a child, he has not seen it in the northern city for several years It's snowing.

The long three-month snow season here can really freeze people's ears off.Sores on hands and feet are common.But now that he's here, he can't bear such a thing, and he doesn't want his family and friends around him to be hurt like this, so winter items are necessary.

They have made shoes out of domi rattan before, but such shoes cannot meet the standards of waterproof and cold resistance in the test of heavy snow in winter.So this time, Lixia wants to make boots in the way of rural shoes.

The old Beijing cloth shoes sold all over the market in China have already used rubber soles, and even the insoles sold by the old lady who squatted on the street and sold insoles were directly turned out by sewing machines.There is no such thing in the Al continent.Lixia was fortunate enough to see an old lady in the countryside making cloth shoes by hand. At that time, she was just watching the fun, but here it has become a craft.

To make cloth shoes, you need to hit the soles, and you have to cut the soles first.He still remembered what the old lady did at that time.It was a rare good day, the sun was shining brightly, there were sports and fitness equipment installed by the government in the center of the court, and the clean and spacious table tennis table was large and flat, just right for playing.

The old lady came to the table tennis case with a rag under her arm, a broom and a bucket and began to tidy it up.But seeing that the old woman, who was trembling when she walked, had a pair of old hands that completely changed when she picked up the broom. She moved left and right and piled up the leaves and dust on the case all at once.Finally, I picked up the small bucket on the ground and began to "scrub" the pilling table.He was watching the excitement from the sidelines, and because he couldn't dodge in time, he was splashed by the water that washed the case, and the black mud spots on the white T-shirt were abnormally obtrusive.

After brushing the case and drying it with a rag, the old lady went home again with a cloth, a brush and a basin of paste.This paste is made of corn. There are a lot of corn in rural homes, and every household has big corn cobs hanging on the wall. No one lacks this kind of paste.Lixia's home is in the city, and he has only ever drank corn grits. In the countryside, he has seen some people squatting in front of their house with bowls of corn grits and shredded carrots to drink.Looking at the pot of paste, he also asked if it was okay to drink, which made the chattering aunts around burst into laughter.

The old lady took a brush and applied the thick and greasy paste on the ball table and applied a thin layer. The soles of the shoes were made of old cloth. suitable.Unfold the cloth pieces along the length and lay them flat on the ball table so that the seams do not overlap.Then spread a slightly thicker layer of paste on top of the cloth, and then spread a new layer of cloth along the width.Just spread a layer of cloth and paste a layer of paste until there are three or four layers and you can stop.After laying all the cloths, a thin layer of paste was spread on top.Except for the upper and lower layers of wear-resistant new cloth, the inner interlayer is all old cloth.The old lady will say, this is called 'a bag of grass inside, smooth outside'.When everything is done, don't worry about it, just put it in the sun.It will dry out in a day or two.

With the 袼褙, the old lady took out the shoe pattern cut out of cardboard, then stapled the shoe pattern to the 袼褙, and cut it out with scissors according to the shape of the 袼褙.When making the sole, glue many pieces of the same 袼褙 together, and roll a circle of white cloth around it.After the glued base is dry, you can put the sole on it.

The most difficult part of making a good pair of shoes is the sole. The "packaged" soles are four to five centimeters thick, and the soles are tightly stitched. There are hundreds of stitches on each sole. As the old saying goes, as many sesame seeds can be placed on the sole, as many stitches are needed.Because the sole of the shoe is difficult to pierce through, it is often necessary to put a metal nail on the right index finger to cooperate with the needle, and the awl, needle puller, and wire rod must be "battled".The old lady first wiped the tip of the awl in her hair, then taped it in toughly on the thick hard base, and then pulled it out gently. After that, she took the thin needle sewn with twine along the awl hole, Don't put it aside, the next thing is a tug of "chi, chi".

Sole is a laborious arm, hand and eyesight work.If you are more diligent, it will take a few days to get it out.The rest is to make the shoe upper. First, cut the shoe bone according to the shape of the instep, paste it with paste, and stick the lining while sticking the upper. The fabric and lining should be longer than the shoe bone, so it is convenient to sew it to the sole, and wait for the upper to dry. Once dry, the final stitching process can be performed.

During the few days when Li Xia came to the countryside, he just watched the old lady make some, and later, relying on himself being too hard at the time, he forced the old lady to get him a pair too.If he hadn't gone home in the afternoon just after saying this, maybe he would really have worn out a pair.

He didn't think about making shoes before, but he still pulled out the memory of seeing the cold weather.It doesn't matter if there is less cotton cloth, we can use animal skins instead.The thick and rough unicorn dragon skin is usually used to protect the roof from rain, and it is not good to use it as a small shoe sole.For the consideration of the extensibility of the sole, it is not necessary to get a few layers of unicorn skin, and the others are replaced with softer animal skin. When the time comes, the side next to the sole of the foot will be made into a furry surface. As for the upper, two kinds Animal skins are mixed, rough on the front and soft and furry as the lining, it must be warm and soft to step on.Taking into account the factors of heavy snow, you can also add a tube to make boots.
