Chapter 44: Vixen
Subsequently, Gula introduced a lot of work to Wang Lung, but unfortunately, Wang Lung couldn't accept it, either it was not suitable for Wang Lung, or the other party was too demanding, or it was a long time, and Wang Lung couldn't complete it at all.
One of them is an adventurer in this tribe, often go to the wild to hunt giant beasts, one goes for several months, that person wants Wang Lung to go out with him, the other party is real, and he goes out with him is to let Wang Lung as a bait, lure the giant beast to take the bait, he is good to hunt and kill, Wang Lung heard a chill, there is such a perversion, it is really incomprehensible.
Parting with everyone unhappily, Gula sank his face, his father guessed correctly, there was indeed no suitable job for Wang Lung, those villagers were deeply dissatisfied with Wang Lung before leaving, and the words were difficult to hear, summed up in one sentence, saying that Wang Lung was a waste of firewood.
Gula sighed and asked Wang Lung, "There is no suitable job for you, what are you going to do?"
Wang Lung also sighed in the same way, pondered for a long time before saying: "It seems that I have to go to Aunt Qi to have a look, I don't know if Aunt Qi's work is good or not, let's try it first." β
Gula nodded and said: "Since you want to go to Aunt Qi to help, I won't stop you, but the ugly words are ahead, Aunt Qi's temper is not good, she scolds people at every turn, and no one works under her for a month." β
Wang Lung smiled bitterly and said: "I can see it, Aunt Qi talked to me just now, and said that if she changes her face, she will change her face, this is still a recruitment, if she helps, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat." β
Seeing Gula nodding, Wang Lung sighed lightly and continued: "Sewing and mending is originally a woman's business, and I am a big man who does this, alas! Forget it, if it weren't for the Bud on the ground, I wouldn't have done it." β
Gula chuckled and said, "You make your own decisions, I don't participate in opinions." However, although Aunt Qi has a bad temper, she has a good heart, and often helps those villagers from poor families, you have to do well, and Aunt Qi should give you a lot of buds. β
Wang Lung said: "Hopefully, I won't do anything about sewing and mending." I don't know what about it. β
After the two finished speaking, Wang Lung troubled Gula to take him to Aunt Qi's house, after all, the tribe was too big, and Wang Lung was not familiar with the terrain, so it was difficult to find, Gula did not refuse, and after sending Wang Lung off, he turned around and went to the gate of the tribe and continued to be his gatekeeper.
Standing at the door of Aunt Qi's house. Wang Lung looked around, Aunt Qi's residence was better than the other villagers, judging from the appearance, it was at least a house, while most of the other villagers were shacks.
Stone walls, roofs made of branches and hay, no windows, only one entrance. There are no wooden doors, and you can faintly hear the sound from the outside. It seems that Aunt Qi is constantly nagging.
Wang Lung shook his head and stepped into it, Wang Lung's arrival did not attract the attention of the other party, after all, Wang Lung was in the giant pile, his height was not as good as that of a dwarf, and there was no furnishings in the room. There were all kinds of animal skins scattered on the side, and the smell of blood was very strong, it should have been emitted by those animal skins.
Seeing that Aunt Qi was holding a piece of animal skin in her hand and threading a needle, muttering in her mouth, Wang Lung coughed lightly and shouted, "Aunt Qi." β
Someone was heard calling. Aunt Qi was slightly stunned, raised her eyes and skimmed the door, and when she saw that there was no figure, she asked suspiciously, "Who is outside, come in." β
Wang Lung smiled bitterly and said, "Aunt Qi, it's me, Wang Lung, the outsider." β
Aunt Qi looked at the voice, and saw a small person on the ground waving at her, Aunt Qi smiled and said, "Who am I, it turned out to be your doll, why, I didn't find a suitable job, and came to me?"
Wang Lung laughed embarrassedly and said: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Auntie, there is really no job suitable for me, didn't I promise you just now, if I can't find a suitable one, I will come to help you." β
Aunt Qi nodded and said, "In that case, then don't stand still and be stunned, I can't let go of the work in my hand, you hurry up, several families are urging it." β
As soon as he heard what the other party said, Wang Lung smiled bitterly and shook his head, Aunt Qi's temper was as he guessed, not only moody, but also extremely impatient, Wang Lung had no choice but to nod his head and say yes, but after looking around, he found that he had no idea where to start.
After a moment of silence, Wang Lung asked, "Auntie, what should I do?"
Aunt Qi stopped her movements, frowned and said: "I don't even understand this, alas, you go and see the robe made by Auntie, what style, and then find some suitable leather, cut it out, and then sew it together with needles and threads." β
After Aunt Qi finished speaking, she glared at Wang Lung angrily, then shook her head and stopped talking, Wang Lung saw this, so he had to do what the other party said, turned around and walked to the side, where there were several finished leather robes.
It is said that it is a leather robe, but for a giant, in Wang Lung's opinion, it is about the same size as a tent, which is still small, and some are comparable to military tents.
After spreading out several leather robes and looking at them carefully, Wang Lung supported his knees with both hands, panting heavily, Aunt Qi on the side saw this, shook her head in disgust and did not speak, but Wang Lung was bitter, his physical strength should not be so poor, the key is that the gravity of Gleth Star is ten times higher than that of the earth, and the leather robe is sewn from the skin of a giant beast, with a large volume and heavy weight, if Wang Lung wants to look carefully, he must turn the whole leather robe over and turn it over, not to look at one or two pieces, some leather robes are sewn from several pieces of animal skin, and some only have two animal skins, which is okay for a short time, but after a long time, Wang Lung's physical strength can not last longγ
After looking through it, Wang Lung finally understood, as he originally thought, the clothes worn by the giant were very simple, if it was two intact large animal skins, just cut them properly, and sew the left and right sides together, and if the animal skins were not suitable, they must be sewn together with more than three animal skins, at that time, the cutting must be reasonable, otherwise, it is easy to cause waste.
After a short rest, Wang Lung re-folded all the leather robes and put them back, and without saying much to Aunt Qi, he turned around and walked to the other side, where there were many unprocessed animal skins, Wang Lung pulled one and couldn't help frowning, there were faint blood stains on it, and even bits of flesh and skin.
Resisting the urge to vomit, Wang Lung spread the animal skin on the ground, looked at it for a moment, and then shook his head, this animal skin is not too big, if it is used to sew leather robes. It must be cut in three, and the cuffs and neckline must be left in the cut and sewn together, and the sides must not be of different sizes.
Aunt Qi, who was near Wang Lung, kept interspersing the needle and thread in her hand, and the corner of her eye always fell on Wang Lung. Seeing that Wang Lung looked at it and never made a move, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, and snorted coldly and said, "Little guy, haven't you seen enough? It's just a robe, and you can't just cut it twice and sew it casually, it's really troublesome." β
Regarding Aunt Qi's words, Wang Lung was not easy to refute, so he turned around and said, "That's good." "Speaking of which. Wang Lung glanced around, but didn't find what he wanted, and asked again, "Aunt Qi, where are the scissors?"
"Scissors, what scissors?" Aunt Qi asked suspiciously.
Wang Lung stretched out his hand and gestured twice, but he always felt that he didn't know how to start, so he said: "It's a tool for cutting animal skins, and without scissors, I won't tear it directly with both hands." β
Aunt Qi seems to have understood. Stop what you're doing and take one of them from your side. Directly threw it in front of Wang Lung and said: "With this, the old body has never known what scissors are, if you want to cut a suitable leather, you can only use this." β
Wang Lung looked down and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, what Aunt Qi threw over was neither scissors nor swords. Rather, it was an axe-like tool, with a wooden handle and a stone blade, and a barb at the tip, for which I don't know what it was for.
Reaching out to grab it, he stroked twice. Wang Lung had to give up, that thing might be suitable in Aunt Qi's hands, but in Wang Long's eyes, not only is it useless, but it will delay time, the wooden handle alone is the thickness of an adult's thigh, Wang Lung can't hold it with one hand at all, although he can hold it with both hands, it is not convenient at all.
Wang Lung shook his head and said, "Aunt Qi, this thing is not suitable for me, do you see if there is a small one." β
"What the hell is going on with you kid, how long has it been since you entered the door, just look at it and don't do it, I don't think this is good, that is unsatisfactory, what? The old body is asking you to help sew clothes, but not for letting you pick and choose, don't blame the old body for not reminding you, if you can't sew a robe today, don't want to eat, don't want to get a little benefit from me, take advantage of the lack of tools in hand, want to make a robe, figure it out yourself." β
Aunt Qi stopped paying attention to Wang Long after speaking, but Wang Lung looked at each other stupidly, I don't know what to do, this job is easy for him, but the employer is too difficult to serve, I am afraid that if one is not careful, there will be big trouble.
Wang Lung shook his head helplessly, since the other party let him think of a way and gave a goal, Wang Lung could only solve the tool problem by himself, fortunately he had a way, that is, the war knife.
I really didn't expect that the war knife was in his hands for several years, killing countless enemies, and today it would be used to cut animal skins.
An ordinary animal skin is about twenty centimeters thick, and the toughness looks good, but in Wang Long's eyes, it is not enough to see, a knife stabs down and pokes a hole, a little force, it can be cut, and it is completely overkill to cut the animal skin with a war knife.
The place where the knife pierced the animal skin was just the edge, the main thing was to see if the war knife was suitable, and when Wang Lung felt that it was okay, he stood up straight, stretched out his hands and gestured a few times at the animal skin in the void, nodded slightly, and pulled the two animal skins, and placed them side by side with the original animal skins, and compared them again, and after confirming that they were correct in his heart, he walked to one of the animal skins.
Just as Wang Lung was about to cut the hide, a call came from outside the house: "Is Aunt Qi at home?"
Hearing the call, Aunt Qi's expression immediately made a 180-degree turn, it turned out that talking to Wang Lung was mostly sneering, and her face was full of impatience, but when she heard someone coming, the corners of Aunt Qi's mouth unconsciously showed a faint smile.
"It's coming, it's coming. Aunt Qi walked out of the door as she spoke, and when she left the door, Aunt Qi's cheerful laughter came from Wang Long's ears: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the sister-in-law of the Huo family, how can I have time to find Aunt today?"
The sister-in-law of the Huo family said: "It seems that the aunt is a noble person who forgets things, the robe that you asked your old man to sew a few days ago can be ready, my family can wait to wear it, in two days, they should go out, I am afraid of delay, I just came over today to take a look." β
"Whoa, whoa...... , didn't you say that I almost forgot, it's already done, you wait, I'll go in and get it for you. β
After Aunt Qi finished speaking, she turned around and walked back to the room, Wang Lung raised her eyes to look at the other party, and saw Aunt Qi walking to the place where she had just looked at the leather robe, flipped through it twice, took out one of them, and walked out of the room again without looking at Wang Lung.
"Look, is this it?"
Wang Lung was in the room, what was going on outside the house, he couldn't see it at all, but he could imagine it, and it didn't take long for the sister-in-law of the Huo family to take a closer look, and said with great satisfaction: "Yes, yes, Aunt Qi's craftsmanship is good, it fits perfectly, and I will be happy when I see it." β
Aunt Qi smiled and said, "Just be satisfied, if you need anything in the future, just come to Auntie." β
The sister-in-law of the Huo family said: "It's not! This time I really have to trouble the aunt again, you see how these three skins are, I want to sew a robe for my kid, that kid has jumped too hard in the past two years, trouble the aunt to make it bigger, and I won't be able to wear it in a few days." β
After a while, Aunt Qi said softly: "These three skins are good, Auntie will make them for you in a hurry, and you will get them in two days." β
"That's a good feeling, Aunt Xie Lu, when my family comes back from hunting, I will definitely thank you. β
The two said something that was not nutritious, and Aunt Qi sent the Huo family's sister-in-law away, and when Aunt Qi returned to the house, the animal skin in her hand was thrown aside, but the animal skin had just landed, and Aunt Qi was startled by an exclamation.
It turned out that Aunt Qi had a habit of throwing away animal skins from other people's homes, and she threw them away after taking them, and most of the room was filled with animal skins that she thrown, which was her habit.
When Aunt Qi threw the animal skin, Wang Lung was burying his head in cutting the animal skin, and the animal skin was thrown by Aunt Qi, covering the top of Wang Long's head like a dark cloud, and when Wang Lung looked up to see it clearly, the three skins were only two or three meters away from the top of his head, and there was no place to hide if he wanted to.
