188 - Cowhide shoes

Raising his head, the thief agreed, and re-covered the jar he had just picked up, and then put it in the cave and stored it, and then got up and came with him to the cave where Usma was.

When the thief arrived, Usma was lying on a rock, holding a piece of coke in her hand, and she didn't know what she was doing when she was writing and drawing on the stone.

On both sides of Usma, several clansmen who were busy together were stunned when they saw the thief, and just wanted to say hello, but the thief put his finger to his lips and shouted at everyone, and then quietly walked over and stood behind Usma to look at it.

On the stone, a stickman is depicted, and under the feet of the stickman, what is the bloated black lacquer pattern, the thief is looking left and right, and he can't understand it.

"Ahem. ”

clenched his fist and coughed dryly on the side of his mouth, so panicked that Usma exclaimed, and hurriedly turned his head, and saw that the thief was standing there, looking at him with a smile.

"Warrior, when are you here?"

Usmar stood up with a thud.

Ji Thief smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, what are you busy with? With such a serious injury, why don't you rest all day?"

Usma scratched her head embarrassedly and sneered, "There are no warriors, but what you told me before was that you didn't want to build some roads in the tribe." ”

Ji Thief nodded: "Well, what's wrong?"

Usma said: "That's the kind of warrior, I think so, even if we build a road in the tribe, then when everyone goes out, they will also be cut by stones." At dinner last night, Ah Liang complained to me, saying that his team had to get a lot of wound medicine from the wizard every day, which made the wizard anxious, saying that all the wound medicine was used by Ah Liang's department. ”

The thief nodded when he heard this, who said it wasn't.

This is also the reason why the thief is building a road in the valley, after all, everyone has been barefoot or something, which is somewhat inconvenient.

As for the shoes, the thief didn't think about it, but because he couldn't weave straw sandals, he had to settle for the next best thing and build the road first.

But what is Usmati doing here? Does he have a solution?

Thinking of this, Ji Thief couldn't help but light up in his eyes.

Hearing this, Usma smirked and said, "That's the kind of warrior, I think, since we can't build roads in the vast mountains, then why can't we cover the feet of the tribesmen with cowhides? ”

As he spoke, Usma also took out his leather bag made of cowhide and showed it to the thief, and said, "Warrior, take a look at this, I asked my people to empty the stomach of the ox, and wrap it in a layer of cowhide, imitating what you are doing. ”

Ji Thief looked down at his Nike that had turned from black to gray, and then looked up at Usma to make this, well, barely a cowhide shoe, reached out and took it, checked it in his hand, and asked Usma, "This, did you come up with it yourself?"

Usma was a little embarrassed, and then, he hurriedly said: "But don't worry, Lord Warrior, I did this completely after you were busy with the things you explained to me, really." ”

Ji Thief waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to blame you." ”

As he spoke, the thief sat down on the stone, took off his Nike, put his leather shoes on his feet, and stood on the ground and stepped on them.

Well, although the bottom is a little thin, a little awkward, and the cowhide is a little thick and too hot, these cowhide shoes are the first shoes to appear in primitive society, which is already very perfect.

So much so that the thief was full of praise.

Why didn't I think of it, I don't necessarily have to use straw sandals, you can also use cowhide to make shoes, if it's hot, you can continue to modify it.

Sitting down and taking off his cowhide shoes, the thief took it and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, and he reached out and patted Usma's shoulder and said, "Good job, this month, you can get an extra antelope." ”

Usma was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Thank you, Lord Warrior." ”

"I have a request, though. As soon as the conversation changed, Ji Thief said.

Usma nodded like garlic: "Warrior, you say." ”

The thief took the charcoal from Usma's hand, turned and drew on the stone.

The pattern he painted was exactly the kind of sandals of later generations.

Over and over again, when the painting was finished, the thief turned to Usma and said, "Come to Usma, look at this." ”

Usma stretched out her head curiously, and when she glanced at it, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Yong, Lord Warrior, this, this is..."

Ji Thief pointed to the pattern and said: "This, called sandals, you can find a way to thicken the bottom with multiple layers of cowhide, so that even if the clansmen step on the stone, they will not panic." In addition, on the instep, try to minimize the area of cowhide, so that the tribesmen will not feel panicked when wearing these cowhide sandals, understand?"

It took him several days of sleepless work to come up with a solution, but the thief just glanced at it, and instantly improved it, with such wisdom, what else could Usma say?

Only admired well.

"There is no needle and thread at the moment, so this transformation will be more troublesome, but I believe in you, you will definitely be able to make it for everyone to wear, and when the time comes, you will be the biggest hero of the tribe. "Boasting about people, the thief is not stingy at all.

Anyway, it's just a matter of a few words, at most it's a waste of saliva, and I won't lose a piece of meat or something.

Looking at Usma's face with joy because of his praise, the thief sighed, alas, if there is currency, he will reward Usma with some currency, he must be more hardworking, but unfortunately it is tight, at present, he can only use prey to reward, but the number of prey has always been equal to the income because of consumption, if you want to reward, you can't take out too much prey.

Alas, it's really sad.

Looking down and sighing, the thief suddenly thought of something, raised his head and said, "By the way, how about the shield I asked you to weave?"

Suddenly, Usma became excited: "Lord Warrior, I have already asked the clansmen to weave the shield you said. ”

So saying, Usma trotted into the cave, and after a moment he brought out a shield made of rattan and two cowhide buckles.

Usma also took out the shields of the original Black Mountain tribe, and put the two down for comparison, one light and dexterous, and the other extremely clumsy.

Take the shield of the Black Mountain tribe as an example, unless the strong man of the Black Mountain tribe, or a strong tribe like the Xionghu tribe, can pick it up with one hand, like the people of the Frost Valley tribe, one hand is a little difficult.

On the other hand, rattan cards, let alone an adult, are even a child, which can be held with one hand and waved at will.

The two are contrasted, one heaven and one earth.

Obviously, the rattan is more suitable for the Frost Valley tribe to use.

Seeing the way the thief clasped the rattan card on his arm and praised it, Usma couldn't help but say, "Lord Warrior, there is one thing I have to tell you. ”

Ji Thief turned around: "What?"

Usma said: "Yes, Lord Warrior, the rattan card you said has a fatal flaw. ”

"Downside?"

"Yes, Lord Warrior, when this rattan was first collected, it was moderately soft and hard, and it was very useful to use to make a shield, and it was strong, although it was not as strong as the shield of the Black Mountain tribe, but it was okay. It's just that after it dries, it always cracks by itself, originally I made three rattan cards in the past few days, but now only this one can be used, and looking at its appearance, it won't take long, it will also dry and crack. Usma sighed.

Listening to Usma's words, the thief couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Ji Thief did think about the problem of rattan defense, but with the large mountains where most of the weapons are wooden spears at present, the defense of rattan is enough.

But the durability that Usma is talking about, you have to think of a way.

Otherwise, with its easy to dry out, it will definitely not be equipped for Ah Ju's army.

I thought about making a rattan armor army in this era before.

That's right, the Fuji Armor Army!

Ji Thief's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his head and said to himself, how did he forget this.
