Chapter 450: Cold Masks

After the fog left, Ye Xi was stunned in the stone house for three days.

Three days later.

Ye Xi regained his spirit and resumed his work with great energy.

Although hunting becomes difficult in winter and the walls cannot be built, it is not impossible to do anything.

On the stone platform next to the fireplace, Ye Xi put down the charcoal pen, held the parchment scroll in his hand that he had just finished, looked carefully at the fire for a while, and then walked to the door.

The salted birds and river leopards guarding the door always paid attention to the movement in the house, and after hearing the footsteps, they opened the heavy green mulberry stone gate from the outside without waiting for Ye Xi to push the door by himself.

"Crunchβ€”"

Fresh, cold air poured in with goose-feather-sized snowflakes.

The weather was cold, and the two warriors guarding the gate were covered with thick snow, and their eyebrows were covered with a layer of snow-white frost, which at first glance looked like two snowmen.

However, the warrior was physically strong, and in such cold weather, he still stood as straight as a green pine, without the slightest discomfort.

Ye Xi sighed in his heart.

The witches of all tribes are guarded by such warriors, and these more than 100 warriors, even in the coldest months of winter, have to be on duty outside the door at all times, enduring the wind, snow and cold.

In the coldest months, they won't be as relaxed as they are now.

"Lord Xiwu!"

The two warriors guarding the gate saluted respectfully.

Ye Xi groaned for a while and said to them: "Salty bird, you are responsible for calling the pheasant and tiger girl." Leopard, you are responsible for putting the carapace, the morning, the pan, and the mountain...... These four men were called at once, and I had something to command them to do. ”

"Yes!"

Salty birds and river leopards responded in unison.

It didn't take long for the pheasants to come to Ye Xi's stone house, wrapped in bloated animal skin clothes, stepping on knee-deep snow and shallow feet.

Along the way, the animal skin clothes he wore were stained with snowflakes.

Ye Xi led the six people through the corridor to the fireplace.

The fireplace was blazing, the wood crackled, and the heat soon melted the snowflakes from their fur coats, dripping into water.

The tiger girl took off her heavy animal skin coat and said stupidly: "Lord Xiwu, you are really warm here!"

Ye Xi turned around and sat on a stone chair, shook his head and said with a smile,

"It's not like it used to be in our hometown during the rainy season, when we were stuck in water and couldn't go into the woods to cut wood, but it's different. If you don't have enough firewood, you can go into the back mountain to cut down trees, so don't save firewood!"

Hu Niu smiled and rubbed her hands full of chilblains: "It's Hu Niu who is stupid!"

The pheasant sighed lightly, "...... It's all used to frugality. ”

Luan Gangqi said: "What kind of rainy season, what kind of stagnant water can trap people?"

He is a member of the Ke tribe, and now he is a member of the Xia tribe, and the place where they used to live was similar to here, only four seasons, and they had never seen any rainy season.

"It's also very cold in the rainy season in our area, especially when the cold wave comes, because we can't cut firewood because we are trapped by stagnant water, so we can only store a lot of dry firewood in advance, which is really difficult......

Ye Xi said halfway, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, I came to you this time because I told you to do it, don't stand still, just sit casually." ”

Ye Xi's stone house is very large and spacious, and ten low stone chairs are staggered on the snow-white blanket to facilitate the clansmen to discuss matters.

The six of them didn't know what Ye Xi had come to them for, and after saluting respectfully, they sat on the stone chair with some excitement.

Ye Xi looked at the two women,

"Pheasant, Tiger Girl, you two are the highest level of animal skin clothing in Xicheng, I want you to take the other women to make something for the warriors guarding the gate. ”

Hu Niu said excitedly: "You just command!"

Ye Xi: "This thing can block the lower half of the face, so that the face of the gatekeeper will not be cold, probably like this......"

The primitive people here already knew how to make hats out of animal skins, and they also knew to make them bigger to cover their ears, but they didn't know how to make masks, and their faces were all exposed.

Now the soldiers guarding the gate are still holding up, but if it gets colder, their faces will be cracked from the cold.

So what Ye Xi is going to teach them now is how to make cold-proof masks.

The parchment paper is precious, so Ye Xi used charcoal to roughly draw it on the smooth stone bricks.

"That's it, use a piece of cloth to sew two thin straps on both sides of it, and these two thin straps will allow the mask to hang over the ears without falling off. ”

The pheasant stared straight at the picture drawn by Ye Xi on the ground, stretched out his hand and subconsciously gestured behind his ear, and then said in surprise: "I understand, it turns out that it can still be like this!"

The tiger girl also quickly understood, and said excitedly to the pheasant: "It's amazing, so that you can fix the cloth on your face with two thin straps!"

Both women have skillful hands, and after understanding what the mask looks like, they quickly know how to do it.

Ye Xi nodded slightly: "The production method is relatively simple, the more troublesome is the fabric part, which can be both coldproof and breathable, so you have to go to the place where you store the fur and choose carefully." ”

The tiger girl and the pheasant said in unison: "Yes!"

The armor looked at Ye Xi with emotion and admiration: "Lord Xiwu, you are so good to your clansmen, you even think about such a trivial matter for them!"

In fact, the soldiers are strong, with rough skin and thick flesh, and even if their faces are frozen, they will not freeze to death.

But Lord Xiwu, as a noble witch, still spent this kind of thought, although this cold-proof mask looks simple, but it is not easy to really come up with, it must have taken a lot of time......

Luangang, Pan and other four carved tribesmen glanced at each other.

Seeing the big from the small, there is such a city lord in Xicheng who loves the clansmen, and there are such leaders in the tribes, what else do they have to worry about? Just follow Ye Xi with confidence!

Their hearts were as warm as their bodies.

Ye Xi knew that they were thinking about something wrong when he saw their expressions, and he couldn't help but laugh: "It's just a gesture, I didn't put much thought into it." ”

Several people still didn't believe it, but they didn't dare to refute Ye Xi's words.

Pan smiled and said: "Although Lord Xiwu didn't put much thought into it, the soldiers guarding the gate don't have to worry about frostbite anymore, not only that! When it's colder, the people of our hunting team can also wear this cold-proof mask into the forest to chop wood and hunt, and they don't have to hide in the stone house because of the cold." ”

Luan Gang hurriedly agreed: "Yes, this cold-proof mask will be of great use!"

Ye Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "You are exaggerating, okay, don't talk about these gossips, I have important things to hand over to you to do." ”

He picked up the parchment scroll that had been written long ago from the stone platform and handed it to the armor.

The armor was startled, and quickly stood up and took it with both hands.

The parchment scrolls are usually painted with maps or witch patterns, which are extremely precious, how could Lord Xiwu give this to him?

Ye Xi: "Open it and take a look." ”

The armor glanced at Ye Xi and carefully unfolded the sheepskin.

I saw that it was densely packed, and the complicated and unfamiliar square text written with charcoal was swept away at a glance, and there were tens of thousands of words!

The armor was suddenly dizzy, he couldn't believe his eyes, he had never seen so many words!

Chen, who was sitting next to the armor, leaned over his head.

Chen stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the parchment roll but didn't dare, his eyes widened incredulously: "This, is this Wuwen?!"

Every witch text contains energy, but there are so many dense witch texts on this parchment scroll, which is also too ......

Ye Xi shook his head: "No, this is not a witch script, but another script." ”

"Another text?!"

The six were taken aback.

This surprised them even more than the fact that the parchment rolls were really full of witch texts.

How could there be another script in this land besides Wuwen, and it was so complex, neat, and rhythmic in beauty?

The armor finally couldn't help but reach out and stroking one of the square words tremblingly: "Lord Xiwu, what is on this parchment?"

"Codex. ”

Ye Xi smiled and said, "Our Xicheng Codex. ”
