Chapter 23 (1/2)
The sun was blazing in the afternoon.
Ye Xi sat cross legged in the shade of the cave, holding a piece of snake skin and began to be embarrassed.
It's very simple in theory to make your own clothes, but it's quite difficult to do it in practice.
Ye Xi picked up a bone needle as thick as a little thumb and thought about where to start sewing.
”Ye Xi, are you sewing a water bag?”
There was a tender and timid voice over his head.
Ye Xi looked up and recognized it for two seconds. It was pheasants.
The little girl had been unkempt because of the lack of water in the tribe. Now, after washing with water, she showed a beautiful face, quite different from her previous appearance.
”No, I want to make a dress.”
”This snake skin is very beautiful.” The pheasant's eyes looked at the snake skin and her eyes were shining. She put her hands behind her back and dragged her feet to the ground. Hesitantly, she said, ”can I touch it?”
”My hands are clean!” Pheasant Mu hastily added, and spread out his hands to show Ye Xi in front of his eyes.
Ye Xi looked at her unexpectedly.
Pheasant eyes see ye Xi do not speak, think he is not happy, quickly waved his hand: ”then I will not see!”
Since ye Xi solved the problem of water supply for the tribe, ye Xi has not seen pheasants very much. Now looking at her trembling appearance in front of him, he can see that pheasants may be hiding because they are afraid of themselves.
Found that he scared the little girl, ye Xi put the snake skin into her hand and said with a smile, ”here you are, feel free to touch it.”
The pheasant's eyes were stunned for a moment. He felt something cold in his hand and said, ”thank you.”
She looked over and over at the snake skin in her hand, and her eyes were shining with love. She could not help saying, ”ah, this is really good material.”
Ye Xi said with a smile, ”do you like snake skin so much? I have a lot more. I'll give you one. ”
Ye Xi killed the python. According to the rules, ye Xi could keep half of the Python's flesh. The snake gall, snake skin and snake teeth were owned by the chief.
Python is so big, there are a lot of Python skin peeled off. It's nothing to send a little girl.
The pheasant was surprised and even said, ”how can this be done? I'm not here to ask for snake skin. I just look at its beauty and think it will be very beautiful if it is made into clothes.”
Ye Xi spread out his hand: ”in this way, you should accept it more, because the clothes I made are certainly not good-looking, wasting such good materials in vain.”
Pheasant eyes do not understand: ”since you do not do well, why not let the women of the tribe do it?”
Ye Xi said with a wry smile: ”I want to, but they said that they only sewed water bags and never made clothes. They were afraid that they would waste such precious snake skin.”
The pheasant eye frowned and bit his lips. He bit his teeth and said, ”otherwise, you can give it to me. I'll do it.”
Ye Xi raised his eyebrows.
After the first sentence was said, the pheasant's eyes seemed to be loose. The whole person became firm and said again, ”I'll do it. I'm sure I'll do it well.”
Ye Xi looked at her without saying a word. In the eyes of the pheasant's eyes, he stood up, turned around and disappeared in the cave. Soon, he came out with a pile of snake skin like a hill.
Then he gave it all to pheasants.
Smile way: ”these all give you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid to do boldly, not afraid of waste.”
The pheasant stood in the same place with the snake skin in his eyes. The light in his eyes became more and more intense. He nodded heavily and said with a smile: ”Hmm!”
”Ye Xi, ye Xi! Ye Xi At this time, there was a shout outside the cave.
Ye Xi and pheasants turned their heads at the same time.
The next moment, a red faced soldier with a bag on his back rushed in from outside the hole.
The soldier put down the beast's skin, his chest heaved and his chest heaved. He looked at Ye Xi in a short breath and said excitedly, ”Ye Xi, I have found I found it... ”
Ye Xi couldn't cry or laugh: ”Uncle Luo, please speak slowly and take a breath.”
The soldier looked a little old, with a trace of white on his temples. Ye Xi recognized that this soldier was a soldier who jumped down from the mountainside the next day after arriving at the tribe, and almost threw himself on his face.
It's not a hairy boy any more. He's still excited. He can't even speak completely.
Luo took a hard breath and handed the bag to Ye Xi: ”you can see for yourself.”
Ye Xi took the bag curiously. What kind of treasure was it that made him so excited?
