[051] confession

After a battle with the Titan Python and digging for nearly a morning, everyone who went out was very tired, and after returning to the tribe, everyone sat directly on the grass, relaxing their bodies while also pinching their arm muscles.

Shen Nong didn't choose to rest as soon as possible, but looked around for the trace of the bear sickle, wanting to ask him something about the beast clothes.

At this time, Xiong Hao and Shao Hao had just walked out of the forest in the north direction with a group of clansmen, each of whom was carrying a two-meter-long log, and it looked like they should have cut down the tree just now.

After seeing Xiong Yao, Shen Nong immediately ran over and asked, "Xiong Yao, who usually makes the beast clothes in our tribe?"

Hearing Shen Nong's question, Xiong Yao was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's Sara and Garan, do you have anything to do with them?"

Shen Nong set his eyes on Xiong Yao and Shao Hao and other clansmen who had returned from going out, only to see that the surface of the animal skin skirts they were wearing was full of scratches and damages, and many places even exposed the skin that was covered under the animal skins.

There is a rule in the Huangqiu tribe that has been handed down since when, that is, only chiefs and witches in the entire tribe can wear python skin skirts, warriors and tribesmen with the ability to hunt wild beasts are allowed to wear animal skin skirts, and those young children and women who stay in the tribe do not need to go out into the forest can only wear grass skirts.

This unwritten rule has been observed by the tribesmen of the Huangqiu tribe to this day, in fact, if you think about it carefully, this rule is not unreasonable, compared with the animal skin skirt, there is nothing worthy of special praise, the reason why the regulations can only be worn by the chief and the witch, is nothing more than to reflect a clear hierarchy, up and down the orderly strict hierarchy.

Compared with the grass skirt, the animal skin skirt has higher durability, and the ability to resist scratches and rubbing is also greater, so that the people who go out can wear it, at least they can suffer less skin and flesh wounds, but even if it is an animal skin skirt, let the tribesmen who often walk in the forest wear it, it can't support it for long, and often have to change it again in a few days, otherwise it will be scratched by a branch or something and there is no way to see it, so the demand for animal skin in the tribe is particularly large, and there is often a dilemma that there is no animal skin to make animal skin skirt.

Therefore, in order to be able to go out of the tribe can wear a full animal skin skirt to hunt, to hunt, to collect food. Children and women who don't have to go out can wear easy-to-make straw skirts, leaving the hides for those who need them.

This is the rule of the Huangqiu tribe for a long time, everyone has been accustomed to it, even to the extent of congenital tacit acceptance, if a woman suddenly wants to wear a beast skin skirt, then the other tribes will feel strange, incredible and angry.

However, Shen Nong felt dissatisfied with this rule, since women and children usually do not need to enter the forest, then the animal skin clothes they wear will definitely not be worn, relatively speaking, the time and number of times they can be worn are far longer than that of male tribesmen, in this case, isn't it much more cost-effective to wear animal clothes for female tribesmen and children than male tribesmen?

Compared with the thin, easy to yellow, rot, fall off, and damaged grass skirts, animal skin skirts will appear warmer and more durable when worn on the body, and can also save a lot of time to find leaves and animal tendons to make grass skirts.

At such an instant, Shen Nong had already made up his mind to subvert the traditional concept of the Huangqiu tribe, he wanted everyone in the tribe to be able to wear the latest animal skin clothes, instead of some people wearing animal skin skirts and some people wearing grass skirts that were so simple that they couldn't do it.

"I'm going to discuss something with them, so I'll go over to them now, and you guys will continue to be busy. After Shen Nong said hello to Xiong Yao, he walked towards the big cave.

In normal times, the tribesmen who stayed behind in the tribe either basked in the sun and played on the grass outside the cave, or hid in the cave to chat, sleep, and make things.

Artisans like Cang, Ganjia, Pan, and Peibang spent most of their time in caves making tools or weapons for their people.

The inside of the big cave that only relies on the ancestral fire is very dim, and the location near the entrance of the cave is still relatively bright during the day because of the sun's rays, but as soon as you walk to the middle of the cave, your vision begins to blur, and you can only see the clansmen squatting on the ground on the left and right sides of the passage with the naked eye.

Shen Nong had no choice but to shout loudly to the surroundings: "Where are Salo and Garan? ”

The identity of Wu is still very important, not long after Shen Nong finished shouting, two figures came over from the depths of the cave, they stood beside Shen Nong, and said very respectfully: "Wu, do you have something to do with us?"

"Come out with me, I have something to say to you. Shen Nong really couldn't stand the dim environment around him, so he turned around and walked towards the outside of the cave, Saro and Garan glanced at each other, and then immediately followed, although they didn't know what was going on with Wu looking for themselves, but they didn't dare to slack off, for fear of angering Shen Nong.

Coming to the entrance of the cave, with the help of the daylight sun, Shen Nong finally saw the appearance of the two women, Salo and Garan. Coincidentally, these two women Shen Nong turned out to be familiar, it was the two women he met when he ran to the side of the reservoir to fill water in order to cook star anise, I remember that one of the women was looking for herself to bless her child, but Shen Nong didn't go until now.

"It's you..."Shen Nong couldn't help but say with some embarrassment.

He personally promised other people's things, but in the end he didn't help others do it, which is quite excessive, Shen Nong was very embarrassed and stretched out his hand and scratched his sideburns, unable to speak for a while.

In the end, it was Saro who gave him a step down, and the other party asked very strangely: "Wu, are you going to ask us to help you make a python skirt?"

"No, no. Shen Nong shook his head and said, "The reason why I came to you two this time is because I want you to help me make a brand new animal skin skirt. ”

"Brand new animal skin skirt?" "Leo and Garan glanced at each other, saying that they couldn't understand it at all, at present, the styles of animal skin skirts worn by each clan in the Huangqiu tribe have been handed down by their ancestors, and everyone has been wearing them like this for a long time, and they have long been used to it, Shen Nong will suddenly say that he wants a new animal skin skirt, which makes how can Saro and Garan, who have been making animal skin skirts for many years, accept.

"Well, I'm going to draw you the new animal skin skirt now, and you'll go get some animal skins and try to make them later. Shen Nong nodded, bent down to pick up a stone chip with sharp edges from the ground, and then carved it on the stone wall by the entrance of the cave.

After a while, I saw a straight long skirt with double shoulder straps appear on the stone wall, Shen Nong modified a few strokes, and then patted the stone wall and turned around and said, "See, just do it like this." ”

Salo looked at Shen Nong's work and asked hesitantly, "Wu, this...... What are you going to do?"

"Huh?" Shen Nong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, aren't these two people in the tribe who are specifically responsible for making animal skin skirts? Why can't they even make a long skirt? Could it be that Xiong Sickle is lying to me?

At this moment, Shen Nong's expression seemed so uncertain in Saro's eyes, she instantly thought that it was her words that made Shen Nong angry, and quickly explained: "Wu, what we have always made is the kind of animal skin skirt that the clansmen wear, we really can't do this." ”

Shen Nong suddenly realized that these two women were not powerful craftsmen like Cang and others, but the practice that had been accumulated in the process of making animal skin skirts for many years, and this would become the candidates in the tribe who were specifically responsible for making animal skin skirts.

Shen Nong patted his head and said patiently: "It's okay, you won't let me teach you." ”

As he spoke, Shen Nong carved it on the stone wall again, and said as he carved: "Look, overlap two animal skins of the same size on top of each other, and sew the left and right sides of the two animal skins together with animal tendons, so that we can wrap our bodies?"

Sara and Garan immediately nodded.

"Let's cut out two animal skins one fist wide and five fists long and sew one end of the two animal skins before, so that these two animal skins are just stuck on our two shoulders and have a fixed effect? This is the new animal skin skirt I want you to make, will you do it now?" Shen Nong stopped what he was doing and asked.

Although Shen Nong added a lot of modern words in his explanation, this did not prevent the understanding of the two daughters of Salo and Garan, after all, Shen Nong also drew a production diagram on the stone wall about the specific process of the new animal skin skirt while explaining, which still looks very detailed.

Saro nodded as if he didn't understand and said, "Wu, I understand a lot when I hear you say this, but whether I can make it or not still needs me and Garan to try it ourselves." ”

"It's okay, I was going to let you try the hides, it just so happened that I and the hunting team recently hunted a lot of beast carcasses from the Black Mountain side, and the number of hides in the tribe is very sufficient, you can try it as long as you can show me the finished product as soon as possible." Shen Nong said indifferently.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry to promote the new animal skin skirt to all the people at such a time, and there will be time to promote it in the future, but what he must know at the moment is whether the two women, Saro and Garan, have the skills and skills to make the new animal skin skirt, otherwise it would be a waste of time to entrust this task to them.

The second daughter asked Shen Nong a few more questions, and after getting a reply, they had to turn around and walk back to the cave, since they had now received the task from Shen Nong, they had to hurry up and prepare, so that Shen Nong could see the finished product of the new animal skin skirt in the shortest possible time.

Looking at the back of Leo who was about to disappear into the big cave, Shen Nong suddenly shouted, "Lero!"

"Huh?" Hearing Shen Nong's voice, Sara turned his head in confusion and looked at Shen Nong blankly, as if he was wondering what else Wu would stop him from calling.

"That, what happened last time about your child...... I will come back to you in a few days, remember to prepare your child, and I will help him bless him. Shen Nong said.

Saro was stunned, she really didn't expect Shen Nong to say this thing, since the last time she had the courage to tell Shen Nong about this matter by the cistern, Shen Nong verbally agreed at that time, but since then there has been no news, Saro thought that Wu had forgotten about this matter, so he silently dispelled this idea in his heart, but he didn't expect Wu to remember it.

She immediately laughed happily, hurriedly saluted Shen Nong, and said respectfully: "Wu, thank you so much." ”

"It's okay, after all, I promised you a long time ago. Shen Nong replied with a stiff smile, but he was thinking helplessly in his heart: "It seems that I have to go to Luo Man's place recently, he used to be a witch of a powerful tribe, he should know how to bless a newborn child." ”
