I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

Nishi Ichisu was awakened by the cold.

When I opened my eyes, I saw dark clouds rolling outside the cave, the storm was shaking the trees violently, and thunder was roaring. It seemed that the whole forest was shrouded in darkness. Heavy rain was pouring down mercilessly, and the air was full of the smell of rain mixed with earth.

The rain today is even heavier than the day Yiping asked her father for money!

Nishi Ichisu walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the heavy rain outside, feeling a little worried.

With such heavy rain, the tribe had no way of going out to gather and hunt.

The people in the cave looked at the sky with lightning and thunder, and had only one thought in their minds: they hoped the rain would stop soon, otherwise they would starve.

Chen Qi frowned as he explained today's tasks: the hunting team would grind stone tools, and the gathering team and children would help weave some tools.

The tribesmen seemed to have a tacit understanding. They focused on the work in their hands without saying a word.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

It would be fine if the rain in the primeval forest only lasted for a whole day, but I am afraid it would rain continuously for several days in a row.

As a result, the people in the tribe could only rely on the fruits they stored to fill their stomachs. If the food was gone and the rain did not stop, the hunting team could only risk their lives to go out and look for food.

There are almost no prey in the forest after a rainy day. The slippery ground and blurred vision make it even more difficult. Often, you won’t be able to bring back much food after going out, and you may even get injured.

In the primeval forest, survival is cruel and high risks do not necessarily bring corresponding rewards.

This was the first time Nishi Ichiki had experienced such a thing, but for the indigenous people here, it was commonplace.

Their heavy mood was just like the gloomy weather.

It seems that it will take a few days to renovate this earthen stove, Xi Yiqi thought.

She went to Siduo Amo and asked for a bone needle, some "threads" and two tanned animal skins, then borrowed Zeyi's stone knife and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

There is some dry firewood stored in the corner all year round, which is kept there by the tribesmen in case of situations like today.

Wulu built a small bonfire against the wall, which could be used for heating, lighting, and to facilitate the women's weaving.

Nishi Ichisu thought: Now is a rare free time, why not try making a few pairs of animal leather shoes.

This is an urgent need!

【Whatever is necessary for you. 】

The system's display screen flashed white.

Nishi Yiqi: Anything that can make your life more comfortable and better is a basic need!

Sitting by the fire, she carefully looked at the bone needle and "thread" she had received.

The bone needle in the hand is very small, the needle body is not big, short and smooth, and the bone cone is also very sharp. Although it is not as good as the modern steel needle, it is already quite exquisite for this era.

Since the Yanyuan tribe does not know how to extract plant fibers, the "thread" they are using now is made from the ligament of a creature called the slender-horned beast.

They tore the ligaments of the slender-horned beast into long and thin strips, then exposed them to the sun to make "thread".

Looking at the half-meter-long, thin, white, raw silk thread in his hand, Xi Yiqi couldn't help but marvel at the intelligence of primitive people.

She first took out a burnt wooden stick and drew the approximate shape of the leather to be cut on the ground.

start!

I saw her cutting the animal skin into several pieces of fur of appropriate sizes and some narrow leather strips, and then cutting it at the places that needed to be folded and sewn, and slowly began to sew it into a shape similar to leather shoes.

Then use the tip of the knife to dig two holes on the shoe surface to facilitate the insertion of narrow leather strips, just like the shoelaces today, so that the shoes can be better fixed.

Finally, dig two holes at the ankle and pass a long, thin leather strip through it. When wearing it, tie it around the ankle and make a knot. This design has the same function as shoelaces, both of which are to prevent the shoes from falling off.

Look at the finished product in your hand.

Not bad! I am very satisfied!

"Xiqi, are these animal leather shoes you made? They are so exquisite!" Wulu Amo's voice came over.

It was then that Nishi Ichisu realized that the women weaving around him had stopped their work and were staring at the animal-skin shoes in their hands.

……

I was so engrossed in it!

"Yes, Ulu Amo. These animal leather shoes are more durable and non-slip than the ones we used to wear, and they are not easy to fall off."

When several people heard this, they couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Xi Xi, can I learn from you?" The soft and pleasant voice was mixed in with the noisy sound of rain. If the rain had been louder, I would have almost missed it.

I saw a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old looking at me expectantly. Her ears had already turned red and she seemed a little embarrassed.

Xiqi remembers her, her name is Youxi.

It was a very nice name, and I had done knitting work with her before, but she was very shy and hardly spoke.

"Of course, I have to make two more pairs!"

"That's great, thank you!" She excitedly grabbed Nishi Ichisu's hand, but seemed to suddenly realize that this was too intimate, so she let go with a blushing face.

It looks like a cute little rabbit!

The women around him also plucked up the courage to ask, "We want to learn too, is that okay?"

"Of course." Nishi Ichisu looked at everyone with a smile.

[Don’t you think you are becoming more and more like Wu Yu? ]

Nishi Ichisu: Hmm?

【Fake Smile Girl】

Nishi Ichisu: Are you polite? That's called affinity!

【Ah, yes, yes, yes】

Several people looked at Xi Yiqi with gratitude, and sighed in their hearts at the same time: "The next witch is as gentle and kind as Wu Yu. Not only does she have a powerful heritage, she also taught us the weaving skills without reservation. Thank you, Mother Nature."

what happened! !

How come after I chatted with the system for a few words, they started looking at me like little fangirls?

It’s really unbearable!

Xi Yiqi used the excuse of going to Siduoam to get the animal skin and quickly slipped away.

Siduo A-mo looked at the animal leather shoes she made and praised them highly: "What a skillful hand!"

Nishi Ichisu stated his purpose.

Hearing that she wanted to teach the tribesmen how to make animal leather shoes, Siduo readily took out some materials.

Looking at Xiqi's back as he left with the materials, her eyes were full of love, and she sighed, "What a good child."

Go back to the cave entrance and sit down.

She did need to make two more pairs of shoes, so teaching them was just a side job.

While doing it, he explained the steps in detail and taught patiently step by step.

When you devote your whole heart to something, time always passes quickly. It was soon noon, but the rainstorm did not let up at all. The wind became stronger and stronger, bringing rain into the cave, and the firelight became much dimmer.

The weather had obviously become worse. In order to save some firewood, the patriarch blocked half of the cave entrance with stones, which finally blocked some of the biting cold wind.

At this time, Nishi Ichiki had already made a pair of animal leather shoes for each of them.

She raised her head and rubbed her stiff neck. Looking at the increasingly dark cave, she stopped her work, returned the stone knife, and put away the remaining materials properly.

The remaining pair of shoes can be made at any time.

As for the two pairs of shoes in my hand, one big and one small, I just need to finish them today.

Nishi Ichisu walked towards a place at the entrance of the cave with the shoes in his hand...
