Chapter 27: Riverside Meetings Determining the Way Forward (2/2)
Looking at the expression on Yuan Zhan, Yuan Tribe people probably used to wrap their feet in the past, but because of the improper skin handling of the animal skin, or not paying attention to various reasons such as hygiene and ventilation, it caused serious diseases on the feet. Commonly known as athlete's foot. In the absence of symptomatic treatment, the foot will only become more and more rotten and finally the foot lice will not only be in painbut also itchy, and severely rot.
The disease athlete's foot is one of the most common human recurring diseases in the world he came to. No matter how many years ago, thousands of years ago, many people were tortured by this disease.
Yan Mo had a whimsy. Could it be because of this that Yuan Tribes intentionally or unintentionally ignored the further use of the hides as shoes?
”Hey!” The heavy animal skinsuit hit him.
Yuan Zhan ordered him: ”Put that on, hurry, don't waste time.”
Yan Mo didn't resist, he put a coat of animal skin that was twisted with two large pieces of animal skin on his body.
Everyone dressed up,Meng andDiao characters were more lively to be wearing a new type of animal skin armor they went walking in front of their own slaves to show off.
Yuan Zhan stretched out his thick thigh in front of Yan Mo.
Yan Mo, ”...”
What do you mean by this you bastard?
Yuan Zhan, who showed off his body to his own slave and was more majestic than other warriors, he went aside and talked to Lie.
Bing refused to be excluded and went over.
The slaves quickly and quickly piled up the remaining baggage, and Cao Ting finished hers home and helped Yan Mo.
There are ready-made backpacks, these backpacks are very good, many things can be loaded into the backpack, the volume is too large and its not heavy, and things such as wooden scoop could be hanged on the belt.
Speaking of backpacks, there is another episode that has to be said.
At the beginning, Yan Mo wanted Cao Ting to help suture two kinds of backpacks, a hatched back and a waist bag. When he thought about it, it should be very simple.
But after the actual operation, it was found to be difficult! Not only is the technology difficult, there wasn't much material, and the main thing is that time is not enough to make one each for one them.
After repeated discussions with Cao Ting he overthrew all the original ideas and re-established a more feasible backpack style and production method together with Cao Ting.
A backpack with a shoulder strap.
It is made as follows:
First, make two straps for the shoulders. In this regard, they used two long tough skins to make them. Before doing this, first fold a long animal skin into several weights, fold it into about half a palm width, and then stitch the needle back and forth on the folded animal skin to seam the folded long animal skin, which can greatly increase the toughness of the shoulder strap. And the degree of solidity.
Second, make the backpack body. This requires a relatively large animal skin, which is first cut into a regular square, and then drilled at the edge where the stitching is usually required. The hole is small and slightly dense. Then use the small hole as a buttonhole and use the needle thread to fully lock the edge, so that the perforated part is not easily damaged by the leather rope due to the weight. Then, the leather straps on each side are combined, tied with a leather cord, and then stitched back and forth several times with a needle thread. A cylindrical body was ready.
Next, connect the backpack to the strap. Because the suture material and technology are not enough, Yan Mo considered it repeatedly, he opened a gap in the parallel position of the bottom end and the upper end of the bag, inserting the strap from the bag, and then tying the strap at both ends. Suture, while also stitching the strap and the body through the inside of the backpack. As a result, the risk of separation or cracking between the backpack and the harness due to excessive weight can be minimized in the current limited conditions.
The final closing and the cover are relatively simple. Just close the hole in the uppermost section and use a leather cord to tighten it. The rain-proof lid is only required to directly sew a piece of animal skin on top the bag.
The good backpack is about the size of a rice bucket that can hold ten kilograms of rice. It can carry about 15 kilograms. It is not a problem to pack 30 pieces of Da Ren-sized fat meat, but the backpack will become full.
Don't look at the production method of this backpack, but there are more places to use the needle thread. It took a lot of time to lock the holes. Later, Cao Ting, Wan Sheng and Yan Mo were really busy. Yuan Zhan also made Shan take a few pieces of animal skin and asked He Tu and Yuan Lie slave to help.
That's it, busy until dark, all of them have only made five such backpacks.
So a full set of animal skins can be supplied to Bing and Missing Teeth, but the backpacks are not available to them.
Yuan Lie let out a whistle, everyone was close to the river bank, and Yan Mo counted the number of people again.
In addition to the seven warriors, there are five slaves including him, a total of twelve, ten men and two women.
1] Warriors are Lie, Bing, Zhan, Shan, Diao, Meng, Missing Teeth and slaves are Yan Mo, Cao Ting, Wen Shang, Xia Fei and Yang Wei
Cao Ting and Wen Sheng he knows them. The thick woman named Xia Fei is Lie female slave, and she is about the same age as Cao Ting. Bing slave is called Yang Wei. He looked like a man in his twenties. He looked a bit timid.
There are no slaves from Meng and Missing Teeth.
Until a few days later, Yan Mo knew that the two brothers l Lie and Da Meng used the same slave in all senses, and fortunately, Xia Fei was forelant and strong.
Missing Teeth said that he can support himself and he was stubborn. Naturally, it is impossible for him to keep a slave.
Yan Mo also found that the slavery here is also very confusing concept. According to the description from Yuan Zhan it can be seen that if the master can't overpower his slave in all sense, then it is better not to have slaves, because if you are the master you can only suppress your slaves and not letting him eat, you're likely to be killed by slaves.
The slaves who didn't want to be enslaved would run away. Yan Mo later learned that Bing thought his slave Shen had run away.
”Yan Mo.”
Yan Mo heard the screaming and raised his head.
Everyone looked at him.
Yuan Zhan stood beside him and supported his body.
”I don't need you to say all the points to find a new salt field, but if we go to the south, it was very likely that we will encounter great danger. You must give us the first hint.” Da Lie is serious scolded him
Yan Mo quickly calculated in his heart, really want to go south? Maybe the East is not bad.
No, still go south. If there is no problem with the hope of the old priest Qiu Shi, he said that there is heavy snow in the north, indicating that the north here is colder than the south, so he should go south without at least worrying about going to the South Pole.
But if the situation in the South is worse and more dangerous than here...
”Yan Mo?” Da Lie shouted and called him again.
”We have to find the sea.” Yan Mo spoke. Sea=Hai, he used Chinese pronunciation since there is no vocabulary about the sea in the boy's memory.
Hearing the pronunciation of ”sea?” Da Lie felt a bit strange.
Yan Mo nodded. ”The sea is a very large lake much larger than the lakes and rivers. It is as wide as the sky. The color of the water is deeper than the blue of the sky. The taste of the water is salty, bitter and awkward.”
”Is there salt in the sea? Is there salt near the sea?” Yuan Zhan asked.
Yan Mo replied: ”My priest once told me that the salt in the sea is not only inexhaustible, but also easy to obtain. At the same time, there are many foods in the sea, very many.”
Everyone's eyes widened, Da Bing face was unbelievable, ”Really? Is there such a place?”
Yan Mo continued to flicker: ”My priest said there is.”
”Where?” Da Bing grabbed before everyone could wait.
”At the end of the ... mainland.”
Yan Mo habitually forced him to think that he would see it. When he was going to ask him where was at the end of the mainland, he first thought of something to shock the primitive people to make sure they were in the team. The status is not only a salt-seeking target, but then to learn more about the geographical situation in the vicinity, and then infer the direction of the future.
When he thought that his voice had just fallen, Missing Teeth spoke in the wind suddenly shouted: ”I have heard the end of the mainland, I heard people say it!”
