Hong Chou came out after A Lie. Ji Mo, who insisted on refusing to leave, was relieved when he saw that he came out in good condition, at least on the surface without any damage. His worried and concerned look was taken away A Lie in the front misunderstood him, seeing him being caught between Ji Xin's legs, he happily went up to grab him out, threw him up and caught him, and said with a smile: "Ah Mo is waiting for me here! "

"Ah, yes!"

Ji Mo vaguely responded, the overly enthusiastic father couldn't stand it, and Ji Mo, who was hugged by A Lie, heard him loudly: "Go, go back, eat."

Is this all right?

Ji Mo leaned on Ariel's shoulder, looked at Hong Chou behind him, Hong Chou raised his face, and nodded to him, then Ji Mo completely relaxed, softened his body, remembered the pain in his mouth, and followed delicately A Lie complained: "My brother pinched my mouth sorely!"

Hearing this, Ariel took a look at it. He looked at it seriously, and laughed after reading it: "This is a red beard with a circle!"

Then there was a burst of back and forth, this joke - Ji Mo looked at him deadly, this is the disadvantage of his father being too lively, it is impossible to expect him to call the shots!

Ji Xin also showed a relaxed smile at the side, not at all worried that Ji Mo would sue after returning home, at most he felt wronged when A's family asked about it, but at that time the person who needed to vent his anger became A Lie , has nothing to do with him.

In this regard, Ji Xin felt that his younger brother was still very smart, and would never pick things up to make the A family treat him badly.

When the group returned home, there was indeed a hot meal waiting for them. A's family also noticed that Ji Mo's mouth was turning red. After hearing Ji Mo's words, he gave A Lie a reproachful look. A Lie gave A Lie a smile. The family said "red beard" jokes, A's family couldn't help but also laughed, and the meal was peaceful and peaceful amidst the joy.

Even if this matter is over.

Ji Xin asked Ji's mother later, Ji's mother's attitude towards this was: "Stay away from Cangfeng from now on."

"Ok, I know."

Ji Xin has never been close to Cang Feng, the age gap is there, the other party will not come to coax children to play, he is not old enough, and he will not get together to participate in Cang Feng's adult topics, Cang Feng's side There are already some people, there are no vacancies, and they will not pay attention to half-grown boys like Ji Xin.

This time, if it wasn't for the fact that the chisel was said to be made by themselves, which made them think a little more, even Lange wouldn't pay special attention to Ji Mo's family.

Knowing that the whole matter was caused by the chisel, Ji Mo also apologized to Hong Chou. He never thought that a chisel could cause such a thing. If it wasn't for the lack of tools and he needed to do it himself, how would he know that iron is so scarce? , he clearly saw that they were all made of iron pans!

"Those were sold by caravans from the south, and they are all traitors."

When Hong Chou talked about it, he was still a little angry. There is no business and no evil. In order to make money, they really have no bottom line.

Ji Mo smiled awkwardly. As one of the actual beneficiaries, what can he say?Fortunately, Hong Chou did not continue this topic, because he is no longer in the south, his country is far away from him, and those who depend on others should have the attitude of relying on others.

Seeing Ji Mo's unnatural expression, he thought that he didn't understand whether the matter of ironware was good or bad, so he told him what would happen if there were more ironware on the grassland. In Ji Mo's view, if there were more ironware, tribal life like them would Better yet, there are still ferocious beasts on the prairie. Among other things, prairie wolves come in large groups. It is really unrealistic to expect people to fight with bare hands.

But from Hongchou's point of view, the tribes on the grassland are all like wolves. If they are armed to the teeth with more iron, then the ones who will be gnawed off must be those who are content with pleasure in the south, but those who really Those who should be responsible for this matter are either powerful or rich, and they can always avoid it. It will be nothing. It will be those civilians who have nothing to suffer. At that time, I don’t know how many slaves there will be.

This kind of feeling of worrying about the country and the people happens by chance, and it’s just a feeling. Most people have no way to fight against such a fate, they can only go with the flow, Hong Chou is no exception, and he will not stand up for himself when he is unable to protect himself. What a worry.

"Okay, I get it now."

It’s not that Ji Mo doesn’t know about it. It’s conceivable that he doesn’t pay much attention to it. Those killings, those miseries, are just words on paper with no specific image to him, and he can’t see anything else. Some, there is no way to really worry.

The topic of master and apprentice quickly returned to carving. Ji Mo has learned more than half of his theoretical knowledge now, but it is difficult to find opportunities to practice the corresponding skills. It's not easy when you're in the grass, you really can't see the depth of the grass.

In autumn, people are busy again. The tribe does not cultivate, but they also need to prepare enough forage for winter, and they also need to hunt. They have their own way of handling dried meat. The taste is not bad, not as hot as hot pepper. It tastes better, but it also has a similar spicy taste as a grass seed substitute, and the grass seeds can only be collected at this time.

Everyone is busy, even Ji Mo, who now goes out with a small bag every day to collect grass seeds.

"With so many people collecting grass seeds, aren't you afraid that this kind of grass will disappear next year?"

Ji Mo was holding a small bag, and the leather bag seemed a bit luxurious, but here, using a cloth bag is the real luxury.

The caravan came once in the summer, and Ji Mo saw them exchanging goods. It was a real pitfall. The poor-looking linen can be exchanged for more than two sheep. The price is really too high, let alone those with patterns. There are colorful fabrics, but this is still in short supply.

During the two days that the caravan stayed here, they ate meat every day. The sheep were slaughtered one after another, the skins became goods, and the meat filled their stomachs. Some uneatable meat was also made into more delicious meat. Dry storage in the car, and the rest of the exchanged sheep went with their caravan as food reserves.

Because he was driving the sheep, he would not walk too fast. Looking at their backs, did Ji Mo ever think that there would be no bandits to rob them?It looks like a big fat sheep!

"Whoever can run a business is not capable, do you think they have never been robbed?"

When Ji Xin grew up, he learned more. He pointed to a bone staff standing on the caravan and told him that it was a token of a large tribe, the bell on it, and the colored cloth strips under the bell. The pattern drawn on it represents a kind of protection.

If there are bandits who really don't want to open their eyes and want to rob such a caravan, unless they can do it without anyone noticing, otherwise the big tribe will also be held accountable.

This is not necessarily because of the good relationship between the big tribe and the caravan, but they also understand that if the caravan is killed and silenced, this time it seems to be very profitable. After that, no caravan will come again Here it is.

Whether to make money once or for a long time, those big tribes still have an account in their hearts.

Of course, from Ji Mo's point of view, their accounts are not very shrewd, and the price is really too high.The transportation fee should still account for the majority. Maybe the wool came from the sheep. The value of the things sent by these caravans to the big tribes was earned back from other tribes.

However, the people who got the money didn’t feel that they were at a disadvantage. If it wasn’t for these caravans, they wouldn’t be able to buy things from the south at all, or if they bought them from big tribes, they would have to spend several times as much as the caravans. Well, everyone has earned money from this foolish account.

Ji Mo used to want to measure the distance between himself and the south, not to mention escaping from the grassland. After all, the carving skills and other things there must be better than here. He always wants to meet Yes, I once thought that I could draw a map of the grassland terrain after living in these years, but I thought too much.

Not to mention that he has never learned professional drawing methods, just the latitude and longitude contour lines that he learned in geography. In reality, he is not given tools and let him visually observe?

God knows whether the current latitude and longitude is still applicable to the situation on the earth, maybe the world he lives in is not the earth?

Not to mention that the grassland here may be different from the ones he is familiar with on the earth. Even the country in the south is a "Chao" that he has never heard of. There must be many differences in other places. Completely copy his modern experience.

In this way, after a few years of wasting, that is to say, the professional knowledge in carving has not lived up to the hard work.

The lights are fuel-intensive, and everyone goes to bed early at night. At night, the starry sky is like a wash, and the glimmer of stars gathered is almost comparable to the moon that has been squeezed to the corner. Ji Mo is standing at the entrance of the tent , Looking up at the starry sky in the sky, I can't see anything about the North Pole and the Big Dipper. This is a completely unfamiliar star map.

He tried his best to recall the appearance of this constellation and that constellation in his mind, but no matter how strong his imagination was, he would be dazzled when he encountered so many stars.

"What are you looking at?"

Ji Xin always pays more attention to his younger brother. He almost knows what Ji Mo does every day, and he is also the first one to look for Ji Mo at this moment.

"As big as the sky is, so is the earth. One day, I will go out and have a look."

There is no carving material, which is really a limitation. You can't carve on the leather, it's not carving, it's writing.

With the feeling that holding a carving knife is useless, Ji Mo felt that it was really difficult to learn something for the first time. Difficult conditions.

Poor children may be in such a predicament when they go to school. They are at a loss and know what to do, but they lack the necessary conditions and can only hold on. They are like fish waiting for rescue. If they don’t hurry up, they will probably die of thirst. There is no longer the feeling of eager to learn something to change the status quo.

"That's what happens when you grow up, now, go to sleep honestly!"

I dragged my younger brother, who was rarely able to express his artistic feelings, back into the tent, and let him lie next to Ariel, while Ji Xin lay on the other side of him. In the dark, it seemed that I could still see the sad little eyes of my younger brother. It's funny, but it's also troublesome. My younger brother has grown up and has more things to do, so it's not so easy to manage!
