When the two brothers heard Lin Xiao's words, they showed a confused expression at the same time. They didn't know what the word 'pattern' meant, although they both realized that what Lin Xiao said was related to totems.
The two brothers, one big and one small, tilted their heads and looked at Lin Xiao eagerly.
Lin Xiao explained: "To put it simply, it means leaving a totem pattern on your body that is exactly the same as the totem warrior, but this totem pattern is fake."
"Fake totem patterns?" The two brothers were even more confused. Are there fake totem patterns?
"Yes, it is fake. It is the same as the totem pattern on the totem warrior. But in fact, this totem will not bring you the power of totem. It is enough to scare ordinary ronin." Lin Xiao finally explained after some explanations Explain clearly to the two brothers the meaning of 'tattoo', that is, 'tattoo'.
Lin Xiao originally thought that Lei would reject tattoos, but when he finished explaining and saw Lei's shining eyes, he knew...this guy really wanted a tattoo.
Lei: "Can I get a tattoo now?"
Lin Xiao: "No, I have to confirm whether these plant pigments can be used before tattooing."
Thunder Monkey asked anxiously: "How long will this take?"
Lin Xiao: "Well...it shouldn't take long."
Lin Xiao thought for a while and decided to experiment with animal skin first.
Tattoos have existed in ancient China since the Qin Dynasty, but at that time it was not called "tattoo" but "tattoo". Of course, there were other names: carving, tattooing, stippling, etc. At that time, the tattoos used plant pigments. , in this primitive era of the alien world, human beings' physical fitness was excellent. He was not worried about Lei's recovery ability, but he still wanted to confirm whether the dye used for tattoos was dangerous.
Lin Xiao thought about it, and asked Lei Helie to bring a piece of meat that had lost hair. He took out the bone needles he had previously used to sew clothes, dipped them in paint, and then pierced the skin of the meat. After pricking several needles, there appeared on the skin of the meat. A group of black dots with clear vegetable pigments.
…
The next day, early in the morning, Lin Xiao got up from the bed and quickly packed himself. At this time, his hair was quite long. Lin Xiao expected that he would be able to tie his hair up in a while.
"Let's go to the Bahrain tribe to get food together!"
Lie, who was about to go to the Bahrain Tribe, was stunned for a moment. He thought it was strange. Usually Ah Xiao didn't go to the Bahrain Tribe, but made things at home. Today he actually proposed to go to the Bahrain Tribe with them?
However, neither Lie nor Lei asked why. It was great that the three of them could go out together!
When Lin Xiao went to the Bahrain tribe to receive food, Wu, who was handing out food, saw Lin Xiao and greeted him warmly: "Axiao, you rarely come to receive food. By the way, have you done anything good recently?"
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "Yes! I made a backpack, but it still needs to be improved."
"What is a backpack? What does it do?" When Wu heard Lin Xiao's words, he suddenly became interested.
The mesh of the backpack Lin Xiao is making now is relatively small. Compared with the wild fruits picked by the Bahrain tribe women, they will not fall out when placed in it. However, there is still a gap with the Chinese backpacks. The Chinese backpacks can be woven so that there are no leaks. Eyes can carry corn, rice and other grains, which is naturally more difficult to do manually, but fortunately there are no food crops in this wild world, so the basket made by Lin Xiao is completely sufficient.
Lin Xiao briefly explained the function of the backpack. After braiding it with bamboo, it could then be made into a straw rope using hay and plant stems.
Wu felt that he understood, but seemed not to understand, but he had no time to think about it, because he saw Wu Zhu coming, and all the Bahrain children around him took a step back, spontaneously making way for Bahrain Wu Zhu.
Wu made a fist with his hand and placed it on the left side of his heart, bowed his head and saluted.
When Lin Xiao saw his movements, he knew that Balin Wuzhu must be here, and sure enough, he turned around and saw Balin Wuzhu.
Balin Wu Zhu looked at Lin Xiao. After talking to the leader yesterday, he couldn't find Lin Xiao when he was looking for him. He happily stopped talking and asked: "What were you talking about just now?"
Wu hurriedly told Bahrain Wu Zhu what Lin Xiao said about carrying a basket. Bahrain Wu Zhu had heard Lin Xiao mention the matter of carrying a basket before. When he heard that Lin Xiao had already done it, his eyes lit up slightly, but he did not immediately ask Lin Xiao about carrying a basket. He waved to Lin Xiao and said, "Axiao, please come with me for a walk. I want to say a few words to you."
"Okay." Lin Xiao nodded in agreement and said to Lei Helie: "You can go back after taking your things. I will be back later."
The two of them walked in the Bahrain tribe for a while, and finally someone spoke.
Bahrain Wu Zhu: "Yesterday I..."
Lin Xiao: "Wuzhu, I want to ask you..."
The two spoke at the same time, and Lin Xiao made a gesture of invitation and said, "Wuzhu, you speak first."
When Balin Wu Zhu heard what Lin Xiao said, he slowly said, "I noticed yesterday that you didn't gain the power of totem..."
Lin Xiao nodded silently, his face as calm as water, and his heart as calm as water.
"Axiao, I know you must be disappointed and lost," Balin Wu Zhu said, "The Ancestral God did not give you the power of the totem, but it gave you wisdom. This is something that even the power of the totem cannot match.
"You see, I am not very strong. Although I am lucky enough to be a totem warrior, I am only a low-level totem warrior, but in the tribe, they all listen to me.
"This is the power of wisdom, more useful than totems."
When Lin Xiao heard what the Balin witch said, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the Balin witch actually wanted to enlighten him.
"Axiao, don't be frustrated by this," Balin Wu Zhu said in a deep voice, "Wisdom is a better gift than the power of a totem."
"Wuzhu, thank you," Lin Xiao smiled at Balin Wuzhu and said, "I know that."
Balin Wu Zhu saw that Lin Xiao's expression didn't look like he was faking. After nodding slightly, he changed the subject and said, "What did you want to tell me just now?"
"Oh, I actually made a special trip to see you today," Lin Xiao stared at Bahrain Wu Zhu and asked with a small face: "I want to ask you if there are any plants that can make people lose consciousness temporarily, but Harmless to people?"
Balin Wu Zhu nodded, "Yes."
When Lin Xiao heard what Balin Wu Zhu said, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes!
The sun was getting stronger and stronger. After Balin Wu Zhu promised to give Lin Xiao a plant that could make people temporarily comatose, he ordered him to go down and let the tribesmen who had recently collected wild fruits look for it while they were collecting it.
After doing all this, the old magic stick touched the straw hat on his head, walked slowly to his shady hut, took a look at the newly made mat at home, and touched the mat with his hands. It was great to have a mat. .
Balin Wu Zhu lay down on the mat and played Haqie. By the way, Ah Xiao also made a backpack. After he took a nap, he went to Ah Xiao's house to visit!
The things A Xiao makes are definitely good things. With the backpacks in the tribe, it will be much easier to carry things.
…
Seven days later, Lin Xiao made all preparations!
Five crystal clear bone needles that had just been polished by other ronin, the pigments used for tattoos, and the "anesthetic" obtained from the Bahrain witch, everything was ready!
After taking a look at Lei who was lying unconscious, Lin Xiao picked up the bone needle and started pricking Lei's arm.
Lie watched with distress as Lin Xiao stabbed his brother's body with needle after needle. With each blow, his whole body trembled. It hurt just to look at it! Fortunately, Ah Xiao got a plant for his brother to use that would make people comatose just by smelling it.
Lie Zai looked carefully and found that what was originally just a small black dot slowly turned into a totem pattern of the Bahrain tribe, exactly the same as the totem warriors!
The pattern of the Bahrain totem was not complicated. Lin Xiao only took more than an hour to complete the entire tattoo. He had just completed the last step when Lei, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
"I thought it would take a while before you wake up." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Now that the tattoo is done, please don't get water on your arms recently. Well...it's better not to let the people of the Bahrain tribe see this totem tattoo. After all, It's fake, Lei, don't go out for the next few days."
"Okay!" Lei agreed, because Ah Xiao had explained the meaning of 'tattoo' to him before, and he knew that the one on his body was fake. They had discussed before that they would use something to block the arm position if they encountered trouble outside. Then expose the tattoo on your arm to those ronin.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, packed up his things, and said to Lei: "You have just woken up, and the anesthetic has not worn off yet. You should get more rest. Lie and I are responsible for cooking. You can take a nap."
thunder:"..."
Lin Xiao said as he glanced at the time on his watch. It was almost lunch time, so he could prepare lunch!
Lie on the side stretched out his hand to touch the totem pattern on Lei's right arm and said in surprise: "Brother, the A Xiao pattern is really the same as the totem pattern!"
Before Lei could answer Lie's words, Lin Xiao flicked Lie's head with his fingers and said, "Don't touch it with your hands, it's too dirty!"
"Oh." Lie hugged his forehead, pitifully.
Lin Xiao asked Lie to help him get something, and then told Lei: "If you are sleepy, just sleep a little longer."
After Lin Xiao went out, he closed the door directly. In the room, Lei's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, with a confused look on his face: He was actually not sleepy at all, and was even in good spirits.
Lei silently put away his outstretched hand, thought about it, got up and left the bed, picked up the bamboo cup in the room to drink water, and just picked up the cup with his hand, he only heard a crisp sound of 'click', and the bamboo cup The cup burst open in the middle, and water flowed down the bottom of the cup and onto the ground.
Lei scratched his head, looking confused. He didn't use much strength. Why did this bamboo cup break?
And... why is it so noisy outside! It's so noisy that my head will explode!
"Woo woo woo, no success..."
"Well, it's been so many days, what are you two brothers making a fuss about? Learn to be a stonemason from your father, and you will have food to eat!"
"No, I just want to be a totem warrior!"
"Abba...next year..."
After careful identification, he was able to confirm that among the speakers were Yang and Sang, a pair of ronin brothers, and their families. It took a long time to walk to their houses, but they could still hear them even from such a long distance. Clearly.
Lei couldn't help complaining in his heart: This family talks too loudly!
