C16 (1/2)
After packing up, Lin Xiao took his pants and went out to find Lin Ya.
Lin Ya was a female, but he didn't see any males in their house, so he didn't think much about it. Perhaps he went out like Ya Heng and his father.
When he arrived at Lin Ya's house, he was still knitting.
”Lin Ya, you're working too hard. You should take a break.
Since Lin Xiao said so, he didn't say anything. He just smiled, but there was something in his eyes that Lin Xiao couldn't understand.
He didn't think too much into it, he just showed his pants to Lin Ya, ”Look, these are the pants I made. I want to trade this for some cloth with you, okay?”
Lin Ya looked at the item in his hand in shock, looking at it over and over again, ”Lin Xiao, you're too smart. You don't have to worry about falling when you're wearing this.”
Lin Xiao smiled and said, ”This is our technology, but I didn't do it well.”
”Can you tell me what to do? I can give you the cloth. ” Lin Ya looked at him sincerely.
This question put Lin Xiao in a difficult position. If this technology were to tell Lin Ya, the people here would be very selfless and would be willing to tell everything they knew to the people in the tribe.
But now, he couldn't spread these techniques around. If everyone knew about them, then his own path to survival would be sealed. He didn't want to rely on the help of others to survive.
Therefore, he couldn't, but Lin Ya was the first one to give him fabric. If it wasn't for Lin Ya's cloth, he wouldn't be able to make pants himself.
This made Lin Xiao feel very awkward.
Lin Ya might have seen through his awkwardness, so he smiled apologetically, ”Sorry, this is your tribe's technology, I shouldn't pry.”
”No, no.” Lin Xiao waved his hand, ”It's not like that, it's …”
Lin Ya stopped him with a smile, ”Everyone has their difficulties. I know. Look at me, if it wasn't for everyone helping me, I might not have survived until now. I'm very happy that you could give me this pair of pants.”
As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of cloth, which was more than what Lin Ya gave him before. Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, ”I can't exchange for that much. I'm already grateful for what you gave me.”
Unexpectedly, Lin Ya shook his head and said, ”Not much, not much at all. Thank you.”
In the end, Lin Xiao took the fabric that could be used to make ten pairs of pants home.
Chun Ming didn't look good when he saw him holding so much linen cloth.
There were only a few that could weave in the entire tribe, and Lin Ya was the only one that could give him that kind of fabric.
He stood up and looked at Lin Xiao. ”You're going too far.”
Lin Xiao turned around and looked at Chun Ming in confusion. ”What?”
”Why do you want so many cloths from Lin Ya? He gave you a little because you just arrived at the tribe. He welcomed you, but you can't take an inch from him, right?” Chun Ming's words were a bit unpleasant to listen to.
However, Lin Xiao understood what he meant and just smiled, ”What does it have to do with you?”
”How is it not my business? You are now a member of our family in name, your current actions are completely discrediting our family. You took Wu Tie's cloth, how are you going to make him live? Without fabric, what are you going to make him eat?” Chun Ming felt that Lin Xiao was really insensible.
From Chun Ming's words, Lin Xiao seemed to know something, which meant Lin Ya wanted to use cloth like this to exchange for food?
”Where's his male?” Lin Xiao blurted out the question.
