Chapter 120: Serpentine Wooden Shoes
Ye Fan found some bird feathers again, there is a group of peacock-like birds living on the desert island, but the size is as big as a turkey, but unlike the peacocks that are relatively docile and only rely on their appearance to attract others, these birds have sharp teeth hidden in their beaks, as well as hunting small animals, Ye Fan temporarily called them "peacocks", he took advantage of the fact that a peacock was alone and directly picked up a stone spear and pierced the other party's stomach and carried it back.
In the past, Ye Fan didn't have such a strong effort at all, but now he feels that it is very easy for him to carry this peacock, go back to make a barbecue, add a meal to Moli, recently there is less and less food in the tribe, and the amount of food distributed to everyone is gradually decreasing, sometimes Moli will even leave half of the food to the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe, Ye Fan just wants to do his part to make Moli eat better.
All the materials are ready, Ye Fan wrapped the snake skin on the wooden shoes, and he padded a layer of wild cotton inside, as for the sewing, he had to borrow some stone needles from the old women in the tribe, sometimes Ye Fan couldn't help but feel the greatness of the human ancestors, in the case of nothing, only relying on his own hands to build one great after another, whether it is the Chinese civilization that has been inherited for 5,000 years without interruption, or the ancient Babylon, ancient India, and ancient Egypt that have disappeared in the long river of history, are all worthy of human thought.
Ye Fan couldn't help but fantasize that if he could return to human society one day, he would definitely go and see these ancient civilizations.
Walking back to the tribe again, Ye Fan found that many Zunlu people were full of happy smiles at him, which made him a little unnatural, could it be that he did something to be sorry for the tribe?
"We knew that the Brahma warriors would not leave our tribe!"
"You must be here to reduce everyone's stress, so you're going out hunting yourself!"
"Oh my God, look at the prey brought back by the warriors of the Brahman God, such a big one, enough for four or five people to eat!"
Ye Fan had no choice but to give a part of the meat to the clansmen who came to welcome him, "Don't rob it!"
Mo Li heard the noisy sound outside and came out a long time ago, he saw Ye Fan carrying the peacock and dividing the meat among the clansmen, he was still thinking about himself in his heart, and his inner core couldn't help but be sweet, "Fortunately, this stinky man still knows how to care about himself!
Seeing Mo Li standing outside the tent like a little daughter-in-law waiting for his return, Ye Fan felt the warmth of home, he immediately said goodbye to the clansmen, took the thighs of the two peacocks and said, "The other meat has been distributed to them, but I think you don't usually eat much, and the two legs should be enough for you to eat!"
"What, if I eat too much, you won't feed me?"
"How can I afford to raise you!"
Talking about the problem of food, Mo Li's face was a little ugly, "The clansmen only know that they collect grains in the wild, and when the weather is cold, many grains are withered, and our food supply is insufficient, and the warriors who go out to hunt are completely watching the sky to eat, alas!"
Mo Li cares about the hearts of the clansmen, Ye Fan can understand, but compared with the farming civilization, the disadvantage of the nomadic civilization is that it is unstable.
Ye Fan's hands were not idle, he roasted the legs of the two peacocks fragrantly, sprinkled a handful of coarse salt, and handed it to Mo Li, "Eat some meat, you don't have the strength to eat meat, when you finish eating, I will give you a gift!"
As soon as he heard that Ye Fan had a gift for him, Mo Li immediately swept away the gloom on his face, "What kind of gift is it, you can show me first! Otherwise, I won't be able to eat!"
Ye Fan was having a pair of snake-print shoes in his arms, but he was still short of the final sewing step, "You eat here first, I'll come when I go, sometimes you have to keep it secret!"
Recently, the problem of food shortage in the tribe has become more and more serious, and the king is not in a very good mood, he changed into the costume of a witch doctor again, and walked in the tribe wearing the mask of Ultraman Tiga, for this strangely dressed person, the clansmen did not rush to be curious, after all, even people like Ye Fan can get the king's approval, not to mention a witch doctor, everyone only thinks he is a witch doctor who travels between tribes.
Seeing that Ye Fan was borrowing the stone needle, Wang rushed to be extremely curious, especially the pair of things in this guy's arms, he had never seen them, "Hey, what the hell are you doing with this kid?"
"Oh, isn't this my eldest brother!Hello, hello!" Ye Fan immediately stepped forward, regardless of whether Wang liked it or not, and held his hand directly: "Uncle, how have you slept lately? Isn't it particularly relieving? If you have time to come to the tent of Moli, I will give you a foot massage, and I will make you happy!"
Thinking of what Ye Fan said about the massage, Wang was a little moved, but he was more interested in what Ye Fan was doing now, "What are you doing here?"
"Haha!" For the Zunlu people who had never seen shoes, they were naturally full of curiosity, Ye Fan replied with a smile: "This thing is called shoes, it is worn on the feet, you look at the shoes I am wearing, with it, I will not be separated by stones when I walk on the road, I am making a pair of shoes for Mo Li." ”
Ye Fan wore straw sandals under his feet, and made exquisite wooden shoes for Mo Li, especially the snake pattern with peacock feathers, which made Wang also feel beautiful, "You kid also has a heart for Mo Li, I am here waiting for you to go back together, and by the way, see what the shoes you are talking about." ”
Since the cheap uncle wanted to supervise, Ye Fan naturally did it more carefully, he took a stone needle to thread the needle and thread the snakeskin on the wooden shoes, and then matched it with the beautiful feathers of the peacock, and the Zunlu people on the side were full of praise for Ye Fan's craftsmanship.
"Warrior Ye Fan is worthy of being the incarnation of the god of Brahman, and according to legend, the god of Brahma is the embodiment of art and war!"
"That's right, every battle of the Brahma God is like an art, and our warriors can make wood and snake skin like this!"
"This thing must be an ornament, it's much better than a crockpot!"
Ye Fan finally completed the last step, and after thanking the clansmen who borrowed the needle, he said to Wang with a smile: "Uncle, we can leave now, I'm done." ”
As the two walked among the tribes, the king saw many children clamoring and saying that they were hungry, and his heart was sad for a while, "Now that there is a shortage of food, and the prey is cunning and hiding, it is really unfavorable for the year! The war season can be avoided, but the tribesmen will be hungry because of it!"
"Actually, it is not difficult to solve the food problem. ”
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Wang immediately stopped, his voice was a little excited, "You said that it is not difficult to solve the food problem? Do you know how much prey and grain are consumed every day by more than a thousand people in the tribe?"
"I really have a way, in fact, as long as I carry it for two months, I can continue to harvest batches of grain!" Ye Fan swore and said: "I am also sad to see that Moli is not happy these days, and every day I plan to take her to solve the food problem." ”
"Do you really have a way?" Wang Yi was excited, and found that the Ultraman Tiga mask almost fell off, he immediately straightened the mask and said: "If you can really solve the food problem, the Dragon Tribe will definitely treat you as a guest!"
"Sometimes I wonder if the people of the tribe really deserve to be saved, I heard that the tribe feeds on strangers like me..."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Wang Haha laughed, "I thought it was some rumor, but I didn't expect it to be a stupid thing to eat people! We don't welcome outsiders because our ancestors once trusted a foreigner, but they were betrayed, causing the Qilong tribe to change from the strongest tribe of the Zunlu people to what it is now in a hundred years! So in the face of the strangers who plotted against us, we chose to kill!"
Ye Fan nodded, and the two returned to the tent together, which made Mo Li a little curious, "Wang.. Brother, you won't say anything to Ye Fan again, will you? I warn you, if you look for Ye Fan without my consent like this, I'm going to be angry!"
Saying that, Mo Li was about to step forward to pinch the king's ear, and the latter was so frightened that he immediately begged for mercy, "Good girl! The outsiders are still there, you save me some face! By the way, Ye Fan said that he was going to give you a gift, you go and see!"
Ye Fan smiled bitterly, he didn't expect this eldest brother who was so indifferent to him to be so gentle in the face of Mo Li, and sure enough, every sister was an angel of his brother.
"Ye Fan!" Mo Li's slender jade hand looked like a debt collector, "Give me the gift quickly! I ate all the meat of my two thighs in order to ask for a gift! Now is the time for you to make a promise!"
Ye Fan almost fell to the ground, those two thighs belonged to each of them, and Mo Li usually ate very little, why are you so irritable today?
But being able to eat is a blessing, Ye Fan took out the pair of shoes from his arms and said with a smile: "Take a look! Like it or not! This is what I made after killing a python and eating a peacock." ”
The snake-print upper looks full of wildness, and the peacock feather is inserted on the tongue, which looks even more beautiful, Ye Fan squatted down, picked up the jade foot of the end of the separation and gently put the shoe on her foot, "You try to walk, it should be very comfortable!"
Mo Li walked slowly with excitement, the soft texture of cotton came from the soles of his feet, and with the protection of shoes, his feet did not need to be in contact with the ground, "Ye Fan! You are such a genius, these shoes are too comfortable, right! This thing is so magical, if it can be popularized in the tribe, the clansmen will not wear out their feet!"
Seeing that Mo Li smiled so beautifully, Ye Fan felt that the day's busyness was worth it, "No problem, tomorrow I will teach the women of the tribe to weave straw sandals, and everyone will be able to wear shoes by then!"
Wang looked at Ye Fan thoughtfully, do you want Ye Fan to tell me the solution to the grain?
Once Ye Fan is reused, what will the rest of the tribe think of him?
