Chapter 36

impossible! This is an illusion! Bing clenched his fists, he couldn't be suppressed by their momentum, he was a third-level soldier, how could he show weakness to these second-level soldiers?

Hunting has been paying attention to Bing's expression. When he saw that he was first shocked, then puzzled, then envious, and finally lost and dissatisfied, he gave Yuan Zhan a wink.

Yuan Zhan silently pulled out a full set of tied leather armor from his package and threw it at the ice.

Bing was startled for a moment, and almost threw a large bundle that was thrown into the air.

Hunter said: This is for you, put it on immediately. "

The eagle over there also pulled out a set and handed it to Missing Tooth. Missing Tooth was so happy that his mouth was black and he didn't hide it. He was so happy that he opened his mouth and laughed, and repeated with a characteristic air leaking voice: "I have a share too?" really for me? "

Eagle hit him in the chest with his right fist, brother! "

Missing Tooth immediately punched his chest with his right fist and said solemnly: Brother! "

Bing hugged the big bundle, lowered his head, didn't speak, and started to wear it when he walked to the side, his slave immediately ran to him and helped him.

It was not surprising that Yuan Zhan didn't hear Bing's thanks, just like they had prepared a leather armor for Bing and Missing Tooth.

He and Bing are enemies in the tribe, but they are brothers of the same tribe when they go out! This point cannot be violated and will not be violated by any warrior of the Primordial Tribe.

Yan Mo looked at these primitive men and wondered, what about the shoes?

Why don't each one wear shoes?

Of course, that might not be called a shoe, only a footbinding.

But regardless of the shape of the shoe, being able to wrap the foot with a piece of shòu leather will also reduce a lot of danger and injury.

In the past, when I went to the mountains to collect herbs, shoes and pants were the most important things. All of them had to be wrapped tightly without leaving any gaps. Because there were many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects in the mountains, it would be a bad thing to be bitten or drilled.

But the last time he saw these soldiers come back with bare feet, this time even he specially made foot wraps, and they didn't put them on. They clearly told them how to wear them.

Why? Do they have thick soles and skins, so they are not afraid of wear and tear or bites and scratches?

In order to find out the reason, Yan Mo personally took out the foot-binding leather from the package and shook his head.

Yuan Zhan glanced at the shòu skin in disgust, don't use it, your feet will rot. "

ha? what……

Yan Mo quickly woke up, he understood what was going on. He has seen many such cases before - athlete's foot, a seemingly inconspicuous little disease that can be particularly tormenting.

Most of them are caused by airtight shoes, long-term contact of the feet with moisture, or infection.

Judging from Yuan Zhan's expression, the people of Yuanji tribe may have wrapped their feet with shòu leather before, but due to improper tanning of shòu leather, or lack of attention to hygiene and ventilation, etc., serious athlete's foot developed on the feet. Commonly known as athlete's foot. In the absence of symptomatic treatment, athlete's foot will only become more and more severe, and eventually the feet will not only stink but also itch, and in severe cases, the feet will be rotten.

The disease of athlete's foot is also one of several common stubborn diseases in the world where he came from. No matter how many thousands of years there are, no matter how many people have suffered from this disease all their lives.

Yan Mo suddenly wondered, could it be because of this that the people of the Yuanji tribe consciously or unintentionally ignored the further use of shòu skin?

boom! "The heavy shòu leather coat fell on his head.

Yuan Zhan ordered: Put it on, hurry up, don't linger. "

Yan Mo didn't resist, and obediently put the shòu fur coat made of two pieces of shòu leather twisted on him.

After everyone was dressed, Meng He Diao had a more lively personality, and walked around happily in front of their slaves in new-style shòu leather armor.

Yuan Zhan stretched out his thick thighs in front of Yan Mo.

Yan Mo,..." What do you mean?

After showing off to his slaves that his body was more majestic than other warriors, Yuan Zhan walked aside and talked to Hunter.

Bing refused to be excluded and walked over.

The slaves quickly piled up the rest of the luggage, and after finishing her work, Kusamachi came to help Yan Mo.

There are ready-made backpacks, which are easy to pack and can fit into all the backpacks. They are too bulky and not heavy. For example, the wooden scoop is hung on the belt.

When it comes to backpacks, there is a small episode that has to be said.

At the beginning, Yan Mo asked Sooding to help sew two kinds of backpacks, one cross-body type and one waist bag type. In his mind, it should be very simple.

But after the actual operation, it was found that it was difficult! Not only is the technology difficult, the materials are lacking, but the most important time is not enough.

After repeated discussions with Kusamachi, he overturned all the original ideas, and worked with Kusamachi to finalize a more feasible backpack style and production method.

A double shoulder strap backpack.

It's made as follows:

First do the two shoulder straps. In this regard, they used two long shòu skins with better toughness to make them. Before doing it, fold a long piece of shòu leather several times, fold it into about half a palm width, then sew back and forth on the folded shòu leather, and sew the folded long shòu leather tightly, which can greatly increase the toughness of the strap and firmness.

Next, make the body of the backpack

. This requires a relatively large piece of shòu skin, which is first cut into a regular square, and then drilled in the edge parts that need to be sutured. The holes should be small and slightly dense. Then treat the small hole as a button, and use needle and thread to fully lock the edge, so that the perforated part is not easy to be torn by the leather rope due to the load. After that, align the sides of the bag, tie it tightly with a leather rope, and sew up and down a few times with a needle and thread, and a cylindrical body is ready.

Next, attach the backpack to the straps. Because the suture material and technology were not enough, Yan Mo thought about it again and again, cut a slit at the bottom and the upper end of the bag in parallel, inserted the straps through the bag, and then made the slits at both ends tightly with the straps. Sew, but also tightly sew the straps that pass through the inside of the pack to the body of the bag. In this way, the risk of separation or cracking between the backpack and the harness due to excessive load can be minimized under the current limited conditions.

The final closure and lid are relatively simple. The closure only needs to drill a circle of holes in the uppermost section and tighten it with a leather rope. For the rain-proof cover, you only need to sew a piece of shòu leather directly on the body of the bag.

A good backpack is about the size of a rice bucket that can hold 10 kilograms of rice, and can carry about 15 kilograms. It is not a problem to stuff 30 pieces of cured meat the size of an adult's fist, but the backpack will become full.

Don't look at the method of making this backpack is not difficult, but there are many places where needle and thread are used. It takes a lot of time just to stitch the dòng eyes. Later, Cao Ding, Mo Sheng and Yan Mo were too busy, and Yuan Zhan let him Dashan took a few pieces of shòu skin and asked the cinnamon and hunting slaves to help.

That's it, they were busy until it was dark, and all of them only made five such backpacks in total.

So a full set of shòu leather armor can be provided for Ice and Missing Tooth, but the backpack doesn't have them.

Hunter gave a whistle, everyone moved closer to the river bank, and Yan Mo counted the heads again.

In addition to the seven warriors, there were also five slaves including him on the trip, a total of twelve people, ten men and two women.

Kusamachi and Mosquito know him. That burly woman named Xia Fei was a hunting slave girl, about the same age as Kusamachi. Bing's slave is called Sheepwei, and he looks a little timid in his early twenties.

Neither Meng nor Miss Tooth took slaves.

It wasn't until the next few days that Yan Mo knew that the two brothers, Hunting and Meng, shared a slave in various senses. Fortunately, Xia Fei was strong and resistant to tossing.

Missing teeth means that he is struggling to support himself, so naturally it is impossible to raise another slave.

Yan Mo also found that the slavery here is actually very deformed. From the descriptions of Yuan Zhan and others, it can be seen that if the master cannot suppress his slaves in all directions, then it is better not to own slaves, because if the master only Blindly squeezing his slave and not letting him eat, is likely to be killed by the slave in turn.

Slaves who didn't want to be enslaved would still run away. Yan Mo didn't know Bing until later, so he thought his slave Yang Tong had run away.

Salt Mo. "

Yan Mo raised his head when he heard Hunter calling him.

Everyone looked at him.

Yuan Zhan stood beside him, supporting his body.

I don't need you to spell out all the points of finding new salt, but there is a good chance that we will be in great danger if we head south, and you must give us the first hint. " Hunter said with a stern face.

Yan Mo quickly calculated in his heart, do you really want to go south? Maybe the East is also good.

No, go south. If the old priest Qiu Shi's divine hope is no problem, he said that there is heavy snow in the north, indicating that the north here is colder than the south, then he will at least not have to worry about reaching the South Pole when he goes south.

But if the situation in the South is worse and more dangerous than here...

Salt Mo? ' Hunter called to him again, urging him.

We are going to find the sea. "Yan Mo said. Hai, he pronounced it in Chinese. No way, there are no words related to Hai in the boy's memory.

ocean? "The pronunciation of hunting is a little weird.

Yan Mo nodded. The sea is a huge lake that is much larger than lakes and rivers. It is as vast as the sky. The color of the water is deeper than the blue of the sky. The taste of the water is salty, bitter and fishy. "

Is there salt in the sea? Or is there salt near the sea? " Yuan Zhan asked.

Yan Mo replied: The priest of my clan once told me that the salt in the sea is not only inexhaustible, but also relatively easy to obtain. At the same time, there is a lot of food in the sea, a lot. "

Everyone's eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief and joy, really? Is there such a place? "

Yan Mo continued to fool around: My clan priest said yes. "

Where? "Bing grabbed before everyone and couldn't wait to ask.

At the end of the... Continent. "

Yan Mo habitually pretended, he thought he would see a silent face, and was about to wait for someone to ask him where the end of the continent was, he first thought of revealing something to shock these primitive people a little, so as to make sure that he was in the team Its status is more than just a guide for finding salt, and then I will learn more about the surrounding geographical conditions to everyone, and then infer the future direction.
