Chapter 149 (1/2)
Zimeng stared at the mink and said warily, ”what do you ask this for?”
People from other tribes also stare at them for a moment, and the friendly and warm atmosphere just now disappears.
Mink didn't expect that when she asked me casually, the people of the tribe reacted so much. Seeing their anti thief appearance, she wrung her eyebrows in displeasure.
Ye Xi burst into a laugh.
Everyone looked at Ye Xi.
Ye Xi said with a smile, ”the women who paint mountains usually eat with us, so it's a little strange. The mink just asked casually. If it's not convenient to say it, we'll think we haven't asked
The atmosphere eased a little. A group of people from the tribe looked at each other with a little embarrassed on their faces.
”They are in the cave. We will take them back when we finish eating,” Zimeng said with a slight apology
As if in order to whitewash the unhappiness just now, the people of the clan tried to cram the legs of sheep to Ye Xi and mink: ”eat more.” The apology was clumsy.
Ye Xi didn't pay attention to the incident just now. He can see that the people of the tribe are not bad, and a little vigilance is normal.
Looking at the other people's embarrassed faces, ye Xi began another remark: ”I think you just made the fire by drilling wood. Do you have no flint?”
”Flint?” Zimun was really distracted and asked curiously, ”what is flint?”
Ye Xi took out two small cherts from the animal skin bag: ”this is it.”
Zimon looked at the two translucent yellow stones and said, ”you mean, this stone can make a fire?” There was a look of disbelief in his expression.
Ye Xi simply demonstrated it to them.
He looked left and right, pulled a handful of hay near the cave, and then sat down on his knees, holding a piece of flint in his hands.
Click!
There was a splash of sparks between the flints, floating to the bottom of the hay.
All the people of the tribe widened their eyes, leaned forward, and some simply surrounded them.
Click! CLICK!
There were more and more hay coming out of the grass.
”Wow All the people of the tribe took a look at the fire, and then looked at the flint in Ye Xi's hand, and said, ”this stone can really make fire!”
They have been living in the snow mountain, isolated from the world, and have no communication with other tribes. Today, we know that there is something called flint that can make fire.
Zimeng looked at the flint in Ye Xi's hand as if he had seen something precious. He said cautiously, ”can I touch it?”
Ye Xi laughed and handed him the flint: ”these two pieces are for you.”
Zimeng was shocked. His hand seemed to have been scalded and had to shrink back. He repeatedly waved his hand: ”how can this be? I'm not asking you to ask for it.”
”It's OK. We have a lot more. You can take it.”
Two pieces of flint are nothing to them, but they have extinguished the fire flint tribe. How many flints do they want. These two pieces will be used to thank them for such a splendid reception.
Primitive people don't talk about falsehood. Seeing that ye Xi really wanted to send them away, he no longer refused to accept it. Then he stood up and walked to the cave without saying a word.
After a while, Zimon came back with two stones.
”You give us flint, and we have something to give you.” Then he handed the two stones to Ye Xi and mink one by one.
Ye Xi looked down at the stone in his palm.
This stone is ochre red, very round, the size and shape of pebbles, holding in the palm actually has a heat, and this heat also spread to the arm.
So that half of the body is warm.
”We call this flint. It's useless, it's just hot. If you wear one when it's cold, you won't be cold. ”
Ye Xi thought of those ordinary people shivering in the cold wave and looked at the flint, his eyes brightened.
Although it is not of great use to these soldiers, it is definitely a good thing for ordinary people of the tribe!
Ye Xi thought for a while and said, ”I like your flint very much. How about exchanging more flint with you?”
