Lin Xiao saw Balin Wu Zhu looking around and then walking out of his room with a stern look on his face. The two looked at each other silently at the door.
"Is the water ready?" Balin Wu Zhu put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and asked.
Lin Xiao glanced at him. Lin Xiao pointed to the water on the table nearby and said, "Yeah."
Balin Wu Zhu nodded slightly, curled his eyes, picked up the water on the table, felt a little happier, and secretly took a look at Lin Xiao. He was still not sure about Lin Xiao's origins, and Lin Xiao seemed unwilling to go into details. Talk about the tribe 'Huaxia'.
Bahrain Wu Zhu frowned and sighed silently in his heart. If a powerful tribe was destroyed, then there must be an even more powerful tribe. It was understandable that Lin Xiao was unwilling to mention what happened before.
Living in a tribe, most people are actually related by blood. Watching their tribe being destroyed, the tribesmen who survive by chance often have deep hatred in their hearts.
Just like the tower he invited to join the tribe, the tribe in the north was once a very big tribe. He had visited that tribe when he was young and wandering. It was very powerful, and its number was several times that of the Bahrain tribe. However, Just like this, a tribe still disappears in the erosion of time.
Balin Wu Zhu looked at Lin Xiao. This young man was a little different from the old Ta. There was no hatred in his eyes and he was very calm. All the anger was hidden deep in this small skirt. Yes, Ta was still A totem warrior, and Lin Xiao was not even a totem warrior. After losing his tribe, it was difficult for him to even protect himself.
Balin Wu Zhu thought a lot, and looked at Lin Xiao again with a very soft expression.
Lin Xiao's scalp suddenly went numb when Bahrain Wu Zhu looked at him with a look of pitiful pity. What on earth is this middle-aged man thinking about?
If Lin Xiao were to know the content of Bahrain Wu Zhu's brainstorming, Lin Xiao would definitely tell Bahrain Wu Zhu directly and speechlessly: "If you don't take any trouble, the country of China will live long and prosperous."
After sending Bahrain Wu Zhu away, Lei and Lie also came back from exercising outside not long after.
After the three of them had dinner, they sat on the chairs in silence and boredom. Lin Xiao was even more bored counting the stars in the sky. This world was different from his. There was no mobile phone or any entertainment. Lin Xiao's head was filled with confusion. Li even considered whether to make a deck of playing cards out of wood, and caught the two brothers Lei and Lie playing cards...
However, Lin Xiao finally gave up the idea and stayed away from gambling to cherish his life.
"Ah Xiao, eat green fruits." Lie handed the washed wild fruits to Lin Xiao's hand and let Lin Xiao eat them. He knew that Lin Xiao liked to eat some wild fruits after a meal.
"Thank you," Lin Xiao patted Lie's little face. After taking a closer look, the two brothers looked quite good-looking after being washed. He took a bite of the wild fruit that was full of juice. It was better now than when he first came here. Life is much better, and I feel a sense of satisfaction, "It tastes good."
"Brother, you eat!" Lie shouted.
Lei looked at the starry sky in ecstasy. He didn't answer Lie's words, as if he was thinking about something.
"Brother?"
Lie shouted again.
"Ah? You called me?" Lei came back to his senses, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I was thinking about something."
Lie put one of the wild fruits into Lei's hand, then squatted beside Lei, chewed the wild fruit, and asked in vague words: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"There are only a few days until the Bahrain tribe's blood and fire memorial ceremony. I'm a little nervous." When he said this, Lei rubbed the palm of his right hand with his left hand, looking a little embarrassed.
Lin Xiao ate the fruit in his hand, and then patted Lei's shoulder to express comfort, but did not say more. Being able to become a totem warrior determines a person's fate in a sense.
…
On the other side of the Bahrain tribe, several tribal warriors were squatting on the ground and roughly dividing the bamboo in their hands into pieces. After simple polishing, they found small holes for threading in the bamboo pieces.
"Awu, what are you doing with this? I can't see the use of it?"
"How do I know? Just do whatever Awu says. A few days ago, I saw that the ronin outside the tribe cut down the knot tree into small pieces every day. It must be for something, right?"
With the help of several tribal warriors, Bahrain Wu Zhu looked at the string of bamboo slices in his hand with satisfaction, and then he connected them with strings according to the meeting to make a 'cool mat'.
The color was different from the one made by A Xiao. Balin Wu Zhu frowned slightly as he stared at the mat he made. He remembered that A Xiao's mat was yellowish, not the light green color of bamboo. Although it looked different, It shouldn't be a big problem. After thinking about it, Bahrain Wu Zhu tried out the mat he made.
"Cool!"
The middle-aged uncle had a look of surprise on his face. It felt similar to the mat made by A Xiao and was quite cool.
"Awu, can I try?" A totem warrior rubbed his hands expectantly, licked his chapped lips, and asked.
"Yes." The Balin wizard nodded and made way for the warrior to lie on the mat.
"It's so comfortable. If you have this, it will be much easier to fall asleep at night!" the totem warrior said in surprise.
Balin Wu Zhu nodded and said: "It is indeed much better. I noticed that Ah Xiao boiled, dried, polished, and drilled the bamboo. It seemed a lot more troublesome and increased the workload several times. But I don't understand the meaning of what he did, but for the time being, it seems that what I did has the same effect as what A Xiao did."
"Wuzhu, if you can't understand it, then we can't understand it either. Let's use it first and then talk about it!"
"Yeah! I found out that this new wanderer to our tribe is very powerful. He seems to know everything."
"Yes, I used mortise and tenon structures to make several chairs at home. Now every household in the tribe has chairs and tables. There is no need to move those stone piers anymore. Compared with stone piers, chairs made of wood are much lighter. "
"Wu, why don't we invite A Xiao to join the tribe like we invited Ta to join the tribe?"
When Balin Wu Zhu heard the soldier's question, he sighed helplessly and shook his head. He naturally wanted to invite Lin Xiao, and according to his assumptions, Lin Xiao should easily be recognized by the tribesmen to succeed him as the next Wu Zhu.
The problem lies here. Wu Zhu has great power within the tribe. If Lin Xiao takes charge of the Bahrain tribe and lets the soldiers of the Bahrain tribe avenge his tribe... it will be a disaster for the Bahrain tribe.
The speaker thought he had said something wrong, so he immediately covered his mouth and stuck out his tongue in embarrassment. At this time, Yanda, one of the totem warriors with a scar on his face, smoothed things over and said, "Awu, the things are ready, let's go back first!" "
Balin Wu Zhu nodded and waved his hand to indicate that everyone could leave at will. He sat on the mat and shook his head helplessly. He didn't know whether he should extend an invitation to Lin Xiao. Recently, he often went to Lin Xiao's home in addition to seeing if Lin Xiao had done anything. Good thing. Of course, another reason was to find out more about Lin Xiao's tribe. He could only know that Lin Xiao's tribe was very powerful from Lin Xiao's words, but he couldn't get any other information.
This is why he has been hesitant.
In the end, the old man with little dirty braids scratched his head helplessly, lay down on the cold mat, and fell into a deep sleep.
After sleeping until dawn, Bahrain Wu Zhu rolled over and got out of bed refreshed. He walked around the tribe and then slowly walked outside the tribe. He leaned on crutches and finally saw Lin Xiao's home.
"Witch." The ronin around them subconsciously saluted when they saw Balin Wu Zhu.
Balin Wu Zhu nodded slightly. He noticed that these ronin's homes had wooden chairs, and asked, "Did you get this chair from Ah Xiao?"
Several Ronin shook their heads and replied: "We didn't get it in exchange, it was Ah Xiao who told us how to do it and let us do it ourselves!"
"He taught you?"
When a young female ronin saw Balin Wu Zhu's eyes falling on her, she looked slightly puzzled, and she was flattered and replied: "Yes, because someone saw Ah Xiao making bed and was very curious. There was one a few days ago. A few Ronin plucked up the courage to ask A Xiao, and A Xiao directly gave us the method of making it without saying anything. "
"Axiao is a very nice person. If someone doesn't know how to do it, just tell him what he wants to do, and he will help draw black lines on the wooden board, and then let us operate the furniture we need to make. If we don't understand, we can go ahead. ask him."
Balin Wu Zhu was slightly lost in thought after listening to the woman's words. He did not expect that A Xiao would be so gentle towards these ronin, and had no intention of keeping the mortise and tenon structure secret.
He nodded slightly, "It seems you get along well."
"The three of them are very easy to get along with. Every time they ask us for help, they will give us a piece of meat in exchange." They like these three new neighbors who have just moved here!
…
Lin Xiao and the other three walked slowly through the forest. After walking for a while, they found the place where they had cut bamboo.
Lie deftly used the stone knife in his hand to dig out the soil and dug out a complete bamboo shoot. He gently shook off the soil on the bamboo shoot and then placed it on the ground. After digging out three bamboo shoots, Lie asked Lin Xiao in a low voice: "A Xiao is enough." Yet?"
Lin Xiao nodded. He quite liked bamboo shoots, but the two brothers still liked meat more than bamboo shoots. These three bamboo shoots were enough to eat for several days.
"By the way, I'm cutting down a few small bamboos. I'll use them!" Lin Xiao thought for a while and said.
Lei looked at Lin Xiao and said nothing. Under Lin Xiao's guidance, he directly cut down a few small bamboos.
He took a closer look at these bamboos. The bamboos themselves were small and not thick. They could be easily bent to a certain arc without breaking. They were all small bamboos that had not grown up. Although he didn't know what Lin Xiao wanted these bamboos for, but this was not the case. It's important, just listen to Lin Xiao anyway, everything Lin Xiao says is right!
In fact, Lin Xiao's request for these bamboos was just a temporary idea. The main reason was that every time Jianlie came back from picking wild fruits, he could only hold them with his hands, which was very inconvenient. Only then did Lin Xiao think that maybe he could weave a basket with bamboos. Of course, Making the backpack takes a long time.
Lin Xiao is not a professional. He can only say that he has seen these things before and can always make them after spending some time.
