Chapter 452: Ice Skating
The chiefs studied hard.
In the middle of the night, most of the candles were lit on the candlesticks.
A dozen chiefs were still muttering the code of law or new words, holding a short piece of charcoal in their hands and gesturing on the stone slab, but their eyelids drooped unconsciously.
Poof.
I don't know who closed his eyelids completely first, fell on the carpet, tilted his head and opened his mouth to let out the first snoring.
Then the snoring seemed to be contagious, and many of the chiefs were sitting cross-legged, but their heads were drooping, and loud snoring of a completely different tone came out of their throats.
At this time, Xuan Ling was copied to the 91st Code.
He was sleepy, but he was able to hold on, so he raised his head and glared at the chiefs dissatisfiedly, opening his mouth to call them up.
Ye Xi stopped him and suppressed his voice: "Shhh, don't call them." ”
People in primitive societies have become accustomed to sunrise and sunset, and it is difficult for them to learn so late.
Although words are precious and rare in this world, if the chiefs were given a choice, they would probably rather fight the most ferocious beasts and insects than bother to develop their dull brains to learn to read.
Duan Ling reluctantly said, "Wu, do you want them to sleep here again?"
Ye Xi: "Just let them sleep here." ”
He got up lightly, blew out the candles on the candlestick, added a lot of dry wood to the fireplace, and turned to the storeroom.
After a while, Ye Xi returned to the fireplace with a large stack of animal skin blankets.
At this time, the snoring was like thunder, and the snoring sound was one after another, and the waves were connected. And the chiefs lay on their backs and slept soundly.
Ye Xi took out the ears that were shocked and numbed, and covered them with animal skin blankets one by one.
Although it was not cold to have a fireplace now, the firewood in the fireplace would run out in the second half of the night, and the campfire would go out, and he didn't plan to get up in the middle of the night to add firewood to the fireplace.
Ye Xi left the thickest blanket for Xiao Xuanling.
At this time, Xiao Duanling couldn't hold back and fell asleep.
He lay on the stone platform, sleeping with a little red face, looking a bit like a junior high school student who fell asleep after being tired of doing homework in the stable world of the previous life, looking immature and harmless.
However, there are so many beasts and people that Broken Ling has killed that they will make the condemned prisoners of the previous life frightened.
"Ha ......"
Ye Xi was also infected by these people, yawned loudly, blinked the tears from the corners of his eyes vigorously, and went back to his bedroom to sleep.
......
The next day.
Ye Xi slept until he woke up naturally as usual.
He was the last to rise, and by the time he reached the hall, the chiefs had all woken up, all frowning and studying the Codex diligently.
Xiao Duanling kept a straight face, seriously taught them to read and write, and corrected their mistakes one by one.
Seeing Ye Xi come out, the eyes of all the chiefs lit up and greeted each other.
"Lord Xiwu, morning!"
"Lord Xiwu, are you awake?"
Ye Xi smiled and nodded, and also greeted them.
After a while, the door creaked open, and sonorous footsteps sounded on the stone bricks of the corridor, and the red eagle strode over with a large stone pot of broth in both hands.
She is responsible for Ye Xi's three meals a day on weekdays, and she will deliver Ye Xi's food on time every day.
Of course, as a combative female man, her cooking skills are not very good, Ye Xi's food is made by other women in the tribe, and she is only responsible for delivering it.
The red eagle put down the steaming broth.
"Lord Xiwu!"
"Hmm. ”
Ye Xi nodded, seeing that the red eagle was carrying a black heavy bow on his back, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, he said casually: "You just went to the lake to practice bows and arrows?"
Speaking of bows and arrows, the red eagle's eyes lit up slightly.
"Yes, Lord Xiwu, you said that if you practice your bow and arrow well, it will be much more powerful than a crossbow arrow, so I will practice every day and dare not slack off. ”
"Well, you didn't disappoint me. ”
He admired the Red Eagle's tenacity and indomitable will, and the last time he sacrificed, he gave the Red Eagle a precious King Beast Core to awaken her to become a female warrior.
Now it seems that Xicheng may have one more goddess archer in the future.
Ye Xi thought for a while and said, "After a while, I will personally test you, if your archery skills satisfy me, I will give you a bag of Liquan water to wash your eyes." ”
The red eagle was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Thank you, Lord Xiwu!"
A bag of Liquan water is equivalent to a barbarian beast core, she is only a first-level warrior, and she is far from qualified to have it, how can she not be surprised.
Ye Xi beckoned the chiefs to come over and drink the broth.
The food prepared by Xicheng for Ye Xi was the best, all of which were fierce beast meat above the level of barbarian fierce beasts, and the energy contained was huge. And the red eagle knew that the chiefs were there, and specially asked people to prepare more broth, so it was enough for everyone to fill their stomachs together.
Ye Xi drank the broth, his whole body was warm, and he left a room of hard-working chiefs and went out to breathe fresh air.
Outside, it was covered in snow, and everywhere was a dazzling snow white.
It's getting colder.
The coldest month of the great winter is fast approaching, and even he will feel cold by then.
"Whew-"
A cold wind with light snow is blowing in your face.
The corners of Ye Xi's white silk clothes were blown up by the wind.
Aori finished making silk clothes a few days ago, and it was the first time she made clothes by herself, and her craftsmanship was not skilled enough, so she accidentally made the size of the clothes one size bigger.
The clothes of the primitive society did not pay attention to any style, so the style of silk clothes and linen clothes was the same, a bit like a robe, simple and rough.
If other people wore such a simple style and ill-fitting style, it might be ugly, but Ye Xi's appearance is high enough, and wearing this silk robe has a fluttering taste, and those big men who are wrapped in bloated animal skin clothes and move clumsy like brown bears are completely two creatures.
Ye Xi took a slow walk along the lake.
The surface of Star Lake has formed a thick ice sheet.
There were a dozen or so young children of eight or nine years old, dressed in thick animal skin coats like bear cubs, awkwardly skating on the lake.
When Ye Xi had nothing to do some time ago, he made skates, and then took a group of children to skate on the lake.
Now these children seem to be addicted, staying on the ice lake all day skating, even if their faces are red from the cold and their noses are watery, they don't want to go back to the house.
The bottom blade of the prehistoric skate is stone, which is not as smooth as the blade made of metal, and the surface of the naturally frozen ice lake is not as smooth as that of the ice rink.
So a bunch of bear cubs skated clumsily and slowly, and from time to time they slammed and fell hard, and slid out a few meters.
They were raised roughly, and they didn't feel the pain of falling down, and none of them cried, but got up with a grin and continued to play.
"Lord Xiwu! Lord Xiwu——!"
The sharp-eyed bear cub found Ye Xi, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over to say hello on his skates excitedly.
At this time, other bear cubs also found out, and rushed over, and some bold children warmly invited Ye Xi to skate together, Ye Xi did not refuse, and responded with a smile.
After Ye Xi took the skates and put them on, he slid quickly into the distance with a bang.
The skate blades rub against the surface of the ice, making a stabbing sound.
Thin ice chips splattered.
Ye Xi's strength was great, ignoring the rough soles of the skates and the rough surface of the lake, and suddenly slipped extremely far, causing the children to exclaim.
After reacting, the little bear cubs immediately mustered up their strength to chase after Ye Xi.
"Bang!"
Slipping at the back, the round little bear cub like a ball fell hard, because of inertia and slid to the side for three or four meters, the fat bear cub crawled and tried to get up, but it slipped again, clumsy and cute.
This little fat man Ye Xi is recognized, his name is Anan, he is a member of the Ye tribe, and when the meteorite rain came, Ye Xi once fled with him in his arms.
Xiao Anan is the youngest, only five or six years old, chubby and wears a lot, and the turtle can't get up after trying a few times.
"Poof!"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xi burst out laughing without sympathy, and deliberately slid back in front of him.
The little bear cub Anan was not annoyed when he saw Ye Xi laughing at him, he laughed innocently twice, tried again, and finally got up.
Ye Xi deliberately teased him, let out a strange scream when he slid over, and slid into the distance with a stabbing sound.
When the cub was trying to catch up with him, he suddenly turned back again, picked him up like a ball, and skated with Anan.
"Babble!"
In the envious and jealous eyes of the bear cubs, the round little Anan was hugged by Ye Xi, screaming and laughing excitedly.
"Hahahaha......"
Laughter filled the lake.
