Chapter 2 Wool

As a technician, Ruan Bai's treatment has been improved, at least he has eaten a mouthful of dry.

Of course, the chief's daughter will not just learn to weave straw sandals, but will practice using wool.

The girl who was going to marry was the biggest, and as soon as the chief's daughter shouted, the chief's son was busy with this and that, rummaging through all kinds of boxes and cabinets to find all kinds of tools that his sister wanted.

There is a dull color on the scissors. Ruan Bai did not hesitate to take over the action, he was familiar with the smell of blood, and of course he knew where the dried blood stains on it came from.

Maybe it's his relatives, maybe it's his neighbors, maybe it's people who have nothing to do with him but have similar experiences. He doesn't even need to think about this, what he needs to know is that he is a slave, the other party is the master, and their positions are opposite; and, each other is enemies.

For the sake of her daughter's study and to replenish her drinking water, today's team did not travel a long distance, and soon after noon, they stopped at a lakeside.

The various animals seen from afar scattered in a hurry when they saw the procession, and when they were ready to set up camp, some of the brave animals slowly regrouped. Several steppe wolves followed not far away, and the slaves all showed frightened eyes, and Ruan Bai was certainly no exception.

The leader's son laughed and "comforted" Ruan Bai in the stiff and "foreign" Da Zhou dialect. The gist is that there are many of them, their people are powerful, and the wolves dare not approach the team.

The chief's daughter sneered at Ruan Bai a little more reservedly, and soon remembered the matter under her mother's reminder.

In the morning, when the dirty wool was taken out, Ruan Bai said that he could not process it directly, and tried to explain what was needed, especially water.

The water in the grassland is not as precious as the desert, but it is by no means as dense as the river network in the water towns south of the Yangtze River.

The wool is washed repeatedly with old alkali to remove the grease and dirt on it, and finally it becomes the fluffy and soft white color it should be. This step alone took two days, and all the slaves worked together.

The water in the lake is cold, even in the middle of the day. Ruan Bai already felt that the joints were itching, and his fingers were wooden, which was obviously the rhythm of chilblains. But it's good to be able to slow down even a day.

With such a family, he believes that as long as he is careful, he can deal with it even if it costs a little. But if they are allowed to return to the tribe, or tribe or something, and gather with their companions, not to mention him alone, even some people will not be able to make waves.

He's definitely going to have to go back, preferably before it gets really cold. Time is not much.

Another benefit of living near a lake is that it is easier to obtain prey. There are always silly and bold animals that drink from places that they think are far enough away. Just like the chief's son showed off to Ruan Bai, their people were powerful enough.

So, the night before the camp, Nguyen Bai ate meat, and the other slaves also got a bowl of broth.

Goat's milk, minced meat, tea residue, flour, wine...... Or something else, Nguyen Bai was given an extra spoonful of their food by the chief's daughter.

Ruan Bai was grateful, and he didn't want to distinguish what it was that had suspicious contents and even more suspicious taste...... Mixture.

At night, Ruan Bai was poked in the shoulder facing the leg of mutton with his back against the man who called himself Xiao Chuge.

Ruan Bai felt like he had been shot, and he felt like a hole had been opened in his shoulder!

Under the moonlight, Ruan Bai's eyes were slightly red in pain, and his eyes were vicious: What are you doing!

If it weren't for the fact that the leader had always guarded them strictly, he would definitely have beaten them directly, even if he knew that this guy's skills were definitely not bad.

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for three years, and he is still a little Brother Chu? Wait for him, there is definitely something for him to see.

Brother Xiao Chu didn't know at this time that he had provoked a person who was very cautious and had a special grudge, but he just thought that it was so fun to meet such a little brother this time. He never knew that a person who couldn't even say a word could get into such a situation in such a harsh environment.

On the surface, they were slaves taken captive by the Huns; But who would have believed that a slave could put on solid straw sandals and even drink broth? Straw sandals don't talk about it, but in the Great Zhou, if it is not a particularly rich place, if it is a simple cropper, it may not be able to get a little oil and meat all year round.

How long has it been? Three days.

The whip three days ago was drawn, and the man who called himself Ergou seemed to be a different person. Is it just that "it seems", or is it "fundamentally" a different person?

Chu Hao didn't dare to think about it, and it was obvious that something was happening under his nose...... Well, Zi Bu is silent.

He asked in a whisper, "Is the milk soup delicious?" "The food of the Huns has a lot of good things in it, and it smells very sweet. Legend has it that the Huns relied on milk soup to live in the cold northern steppes and were not afraid of the cold winter. He hasn't drunk it yet!

If Ruan Bai knew that something like shoe polish could still be called a delicacy, he would be forced to vomit...... Well, in this situation where he has no choice, it is real shoe polish, and in order to survive, he must also eat it.

Whether it was because of the language barrier or the taste barrier, Ruan Bai refused to answer the question.

Chu Hao looked at his blue face, and secretly smashed his mouth, it didn't seem to be delicious.

Early the next morning, the group pulled out of camp and continued to move towards a certain destination.

In order to take care of the speed of the team and the learning progress of the leader's daughter, Nguyen Bai was specially allowed to ride a horse.

Seeing that Ruan Bai didn't turn over the horse's back three times, and was bitten by the horse's hair irritably, all the slave owners burst into laughter, even the leader, who had been silent before, laughed twice, and threw Ruan Bai on the horse's back with his hand, as if carrying a little chicken.

Ruan Bai lay on the horse's back with funny and thrilling movements, and the leader's son held the reins, soothing the horses while frowning and scolding Ruan Bai twice. If Ruan Bai weren't for the fact that he was now a valuable technician, he would definitely not have escaped a whip.

In the end, Ruan Bai was forced to correct his posture by the leader's son, and changed from lying on his stomach to sitting on a horse, panicking at the slightest bump. However, after the chief's son raised his whip, he still knew the times, even if his face was pale, he still took some sun-dried wool and taught the chief's daughter to rub the wool.

Ruan Bai's wool thread was straight and slippery.

The wool rubbed by the chief's daughter was thick and thin, and it would break off after not being long in it. By the time she could make a wool that was about as long as it was about long, another two days had passed.

Not only did the smile on the leader's face grow, but even the guards of the slaves at night seemed more relaxed.

They still kept a vigil in shifts, but that vigilance was more directed at the beasts.

Next to the bonfire that was lit at night, Nguyen Bai was being roasted with extra privilege. But as a slave, it was clear that he couldn't do nothing.

The leader and several other men were discussing something, and the chief's son was also involved. However, the leader's wife and the leader's daughter could only stare at Ruan Bai.

Ruan Bai twisted the four woolen threads into a single strand with a trick, and quickly turned into a snow-white and strong woolen thread.

Sweater needles aren't hard to get. Even the chief's daughter can use a dagger to cut out a few of them, and the burrs are very smooth.

Ruan Bai gestured again and got a simple crochet needle.

Then the two Hun women watched as Master Nguyen Bai magically slapped a half-glove on them. He also received a piece of fur from the chief's wife, which was actually the scraps of the skin of the game he had hunted by the lake two days before. He cut the scraps into thin strips, trimmed the gloves with crochet hooks, and drew a small fluffy flower in the middle.

The chief's daughter liked it very much.

So, Ruan Bai had to make another one all night.

After the meeting, the chief's son came and ordered Ruan Bai to make another pair, and he wanted to use it to please the "beloved girl".

Ruan Single Dog Bai silently looked at the blazing bonfire in front of him and wanted to raise a torch.

Chu Hao shrank on the edge of the sheepfold, turned over and silently looked at the "second dog" who was still busy, his eyes shining. This guy has milk soup to drink today.

Ruan Bai, who honestly stayed up all night until dawn, sat on horseback and fell around, and the chief's daughter gave him preferential treatment, so that he could lie down and sleep on the ox cart.

The ox pulling the cart was obviously not the old ox that Ruan Bai was familiar with, nor did it look like a yak. He didn't know if the yak could pull the cart, but this huge horned cow could, just pull it up on the grassland without a road, and trot up, Ruan Bai felt that he was not sitting on the car, but sitting on the trampoline.

He decisively found two ropes, tied himself to a bundle of goods, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Chu Hao, who was walking with his head bowed behind him, glanced at it without a trace, and the interest in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

A slave, who was noticed with a pair of straw sandals, in just a few days, not only ate and drank, but also rode a horse, and now got into a chariot, and even moved the goods of his master's house, even if it was only two straw ropes.

He believed that any of their slaves would be severely beaten if they tried to get close to the goods, not to mention touching the rope.

After a few days of starvation, they only had the strength to keep up with the speed of travel, and they had no strength to carry goods or anything.

Ruan Bai slept until noon, and a big river appeared in front of him.

A group of hungry slaves were allowed to roam freely in a designated area by the river. Many people put their heads straight into the river to drink.

Ruan Bai deliberately picked a place upstream, held the water and prepared to scrub it a little, his body was itching terribly, and the key was that he also found some traces of small animal activities.

Then the next moment he was splashed with water, and the man who made him call Xiao Chu Ge fell into the river like an embroidered pillow, and then splashed like a bomb was dropped in the river.

Ruan Bai was drenched and covered in water.

Standing up in the river, he found that the water on the beach was only up to the bottom of his legs, and Brother Chu was soaked, and he was covered in his body.

Two people, one on the bank of the river and the other in the river, looked at each other without saying a word, only ...... Two heavy sneezes.
