There are no thermometers, but the skin only feels that the temperature dropped by at least fifteen degrees in just ten days.
Yan Mo shuddered in the bed together today, and it was useless to push the brazier in the room.
A few days ago, there were still warriors who were not afraid of cold. They only wore animal skin skirts to work in the tribe. In the past two days, no matter who went out, they had to stand in the door to give themselves a mental preparation. Most are not afraid of the cold, Yuan Zhan also put the leather skirt down and changed to a long-sleeved fur coat with a deep-sleeved style.
This kind of dress style, which is modelled after Yan Mo’s motherland’s ancient coats, has a right-handed collar, middle belt, and long-sleeved narrow mouth, this is relatively simple to make, and it is more convenient to wear. It looked very big and to the wearer it is also very comfortable and warm, and when it is worn by Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo, it becomes the most popular cloth in the tribe.
Yan Mo's body is not as strong as Yuan Zhan. He also wore a pair of trousers. The head was covered with a large leather cap and the boots were replaced with leather boots.
The leather boots were made by Sa Yu. He learned the knowledge with Yan Mo during the day, and learned martial arts with the warriors in the afternoon and in the evening, he went back to Ye Xing's grandfather Ye He to make fur.
This child is not as flexible as Ye Xing. There is no such thing as Wu Chen's calmness. There is still a bit of a slap in the face, but his temperament is that kind of a person that says nothing, and he has been pondering for half a year until the snow was shining. He finally sent the boots to Yan. Mo.
When the boy arrived, he didn't talk. He put the leather boots on Yan Mo's front's feet. He turned and ran. He ran halfway and hurried back to give a saluting bow then ran off.
Yan Mo bent over and picked up his boots.
When he picked it up, he found that the work on this pair of boots was beyond his expectations.
This is not a pair of wrappers wrapped in fur, but a real boots with a sole, a shoe upper, a forefoot guard, and a left and right flaps It looked a bit like the middle leg boots he painted, not so similar but also like a decent wear, in order to facilitate the wearing and taking off, the boots were made with the front opening lacing, the height is up to the calf.
Even if you put these boots in the modern society of his previous world they can sell for a good price. This is purely handmade. The place where the sole and the upper are combined is stitched and densely stuck. The sole is a thick layer of skin, which is hen stitched with needlework.
Looking at the thickness of the sole, he didn’t know how the brat child penetrated the needle thread without the awl.
Yan Mo had a strange feeling in his heart, warm and a bit sour.
No lazy, ruthless practice makes perfect? Even the bad guys will be touched, not to mention that he does not think it is bad to the conscience that he had infused in these people.
Took off his sandals and put your feet in the boots, they were a little bigger, but if one wears double thick socks or cotton in front there is no problem. There are warm and melted hairs inside, and you don’t want to take your foot out when you put them in.
“These three little bastards were secretly competing, and you don't want to be too good for them. I am used to them!" Another competing animal came, this is the biggest and most shameless bastard and when he come up, and he patted the Priest Da Ren neck.
Yan Mo pushed him away, bending to tie his boot laces, the cold from the soles of his feet was gone instantly, warm boots, who would like to wear straw shoes from now on?
Yuan Zhan pinched him, and went out with bare feet, and Yan Mo stared at him. But Jiu Yuan still has a lot of people who don't even wear sandals, ice cool snow, they can walk barefoot like this.
Asking them not to be cold? Everyone said that they are used to it, and the soles of the feet are also trained to be thick enough to be used as soles.
Yan Mo shoes were laced halfway through, he suddenly took off one, lifted up and looked carefully.
“Good boy!" Yan Mo is happy.
Yuan Zhan turned his head and looked at to why Yan Mo was happy. It wouldn't be because of a pair of leather boots, he also helped him warm the whole body at night!
Yan Mo headed out and yelled at guard Ding Fei: "Go and call Sa Yu. I have something to ask him."
“What's wrong?" Yuan Zhan walked back.
Yan Mo is still laughing. "The kid found something that is incredible! He may not care about it himself"
“What incredible thing?" Yuan Zhan looked down at the pair of boots, and he admitted that the boots were done really good, it’s better than what he can imagine. At first glance, it’s something that is made with heart.
Sa Yu came back very quickly, Ding Fei was teasing him deliberately, he didn't tell him anything, and had a gloomy face. Sa Yu didn't know why he was called back, he was a little uneasy.
Wouldn't it be a problem with the boots? Sa Yu was worried.
Yan Mo asked how he made the leather boots, but it wasn't that he did not do well, but praised him, boasting that he was embarrassed, and that his face was red and bloody pink.
Seeing the little guy has been unable to boast, Yan Mo just smiled and asked the right thing: "When you do the soles, in addition to using needlework, did you use something?"
Sa Yu "Yeah", and he nodded quickly, he also uneasily asked: "Da Ren, is that the thing I used is not good?"
“Not good? No, it’s very good, very good. I told you to come just now, I just want to ask you, what did you use to glue it? A layer of leather and linen on the sole?”
“Hey, what was that did you mention during class? There was a dwarf who asked if the fish skin could be eaten. You said that you can eat it. You also said the medicinal attributes of the skin and other uses.”
When Sa Yu mentioned this, Yan Mo instantly understood what adhesive the child used. “You made a fish skin glue?”
Sa Yu nodded. “You said that the fish skin can be made into glue. The glue can stick to the wood when I wanted it to stick to the wood, so I asked myself can I stick it other things, it sounded like fun, I asked La Ruo get me a lot of fish skin.”
Yan Mo knows La Ruo, Jiu Yuan and The Mer -people have a good start, just the friendship between the two little brats and the little Mer-boy, the Mer-boy and Ye Xing and Sa Yu also always have a good time and fun together.
“How much have you made? Is there any? Is there any specific method?"
“There is one more thing, I have given it to Grandpa Yun. I remember the method of cooking it."
“Is the recipe something you want to give it to the tribe?"
I am willing! Of course
"I am willing!"
"Very good, I will give you a credit! No, give you two part credits first for making a fish skin glue, that is a great achievement, making a practical leather boots is a small work, all will converted to work points for you and if you want any reward, you can also mention it.”
Sa Yu smiled and opened the flower, and the back molars were exposed. Listening to Yan Mo said that there was a reward, and he suddenly “pop luck” would stumble on him.
Yan Mo was scared, what does this kid want to do?
“Da Ren,” Sa Yu is a little excited. “You will agree to any reward?”
“That depends on what you want.” Yan Mo has a little regret in his heart. These three disciples don’t seem to be honest kids. But when he first saw these three little devils, Ye Xing and Sa Yu were not good kids. They bullied the younger children now they are much better than before. At least they are no longer actively bullying them, when they see children who are weaker than them they will not mess up again.
Sa Yu looked at Yan Mo’s face with a smile and immediately shouted: “Da Ren, I want to call you Shi Fu like Wu Chen!”
Yan Mo thought for a moment and agreed.
Sa Yu yelled, knelt into the front, and hugged Yan Mo's thigh, and yelled up: "Shi Fu! Shi Fu Shi Fu Shi Fu!"
Yan Mo, whose ears were full of Shi Fu, endured for a while, after seeing Sa Yu, the brat child is still doing it, and he immediately kicked him off and left.
Sa Yu climbed up and chased after him, but this time he finally didn't rush to hold his thighs. He just followed him behind Yan Mo, only when he saw someone passing by, he will call Yan Mo. "Shi Fu".
In less than half a day, Ye Xing knew about it.
This child also wanted to be like Wu Chen when he heard Sa Yu saying that from then on, he can call Yan Mo as Shi Fu, and he went crazy.
Ye Xing rushed up and hugged his thighs, and he was crying out of breath, and how much grievances there would be wronged.
“I, I want, oh, why are you alone, oh, Da Ren, don't you like me? I...wow--!" The little-timed disciples who took the role of the disciples were accepted not long ago. Can't beat this strong blow, crying that sad.
Yan Mo squeezed his claws a few times and tried to reprimand. He couldn’t get a hand when he saw him. He saw that the child was crying and Yan Mo sighed. He couldn’t help but scold him: “I’ve put all three of you as disciples. After entering the door wall, if you want to call me Shi Fu, who told you that you couldn't? Now let me up, if you cry again, I will throw you out and feed you the Iron Back Dragon family!"
“Ang!" The Iron Back Dragon family agreed outside.
Ye Xing was so crying, listening to Yan Mo promised to let him shout Shi Fu, he was so happy but still let out a sob, and began to fight.
Yan Mo sighed and picked the boy up and gave him two acupunctures shots
After the two needles went down, Ye Xing didn't struggle or fight, he smiled and shouted "Shi Fu" with tears.
Yan Mo rubbed his head and asked him to ask the people in charge of the tribe to go to the Official Conference Hall. The weather is too cold, and the winter is long. Now that the conditions were good, naturally they can't rely on it.
In the space of the Conference hall, Yan Mo chose to have a room where 20 people can sit in the same room. There was a brazier at each corner of the wall. Two more torches were placed on the wall, and the doors and windows were closed. The house quickly warmed up.
Yan Mo looked at the slate hanging on the wall and frowned. He thought that he had done a good job. When the winter really came, he found that there was still a lot of unfinished works.
The first is to protect against cold weather
Although the stone-covered house is strong, it is also said to be warm in winter and cool in summer, but it depends on the temperature outside. When the temperature is too low, the room will be as cold, and the water in the bedroom can be frozen into ice. Last year, everyone was huddled together to sleep.
Yan Mo thought of the weather and thought of the fiery dragon, but he only knew that there was such a thing, he wouldn't even get it, and he didn't even know what to do.
And it’s good to burn it, to burn the fiery dragon, you have to have a stove and a smoke pipe, but the chimney of the house they are building now is left, but the stove is not ready yet.
Yan Mo also thought about one of the oldest method, burning the fire directly under the raft, and then the family slept on the raft.
Followed by the house in lighting.
In order to resist the cold, everyone put the animal skin on the window down, and the wooden board was blocked. This is not air conducive, but in the daytime the house becomes as dark as the night and it must be ignited to see things. This is not very good and convenient to do things, but also hurts the eyes.
The last thing that made Yan Mo a headache was related to Yuan Ji Tribe. Their Priest even proposed to enter Jiu Yuan for the winter, and Chief Zhang agreed, and came to the door.
People say, they will not live for nothing, they will work for Jiu Yuan like a dwarf or exchange food, they just ask for the spring of the coming year. In addition, The Old Priest also suggested that they do not want to live in the outer city with the dwarf, they want to live in the inner city.
Ha ha!
“Da Ren.” The heads of the tribes arrived one after another, and some people came together.
Yan Mo nodded to them and told them to sit down and say.
Yuan Zhan finally arrived, watching the people in the room, striding to Yan Mo, sitting on the chair and sat down, then he said directly: "One by one, starting from Zheng, the things you have not solved or have difficult to solve or want to share with all of us.... This is the time to do that.”
Da He kept at the door, saw that the people had arrived, and closed the door with his backhand and walked behind Yan Mo.
Zheng cleared his throat and mentioned the problem of winter training for warriors.
Yuan Zhan looked at other warriors’ groups' head Lie and several others said that if food and medicine are enough and they don't want to waste a winter, it is best for warriors to have daily training.
“Is there any objection to the winter training of the warriors?” Yuan Zhan looked around.
No one spoke.
“That's the problem, even if there is no special situation in the future, the warriors must maintain a certain amount of training throughout the year, whether it is ordinary warriors or blood warriors." Yuan Zhan took the case as closed issue.
“Yes!" The group leaders led the discussion.
“Next."
Sitting next to Zheng is Lie, Lie shook his head, saying that he didn't have anything to talk about
Yuan Zhan looked at Meng on the left side of Lie, and Meng had immediately raised his hand. "I have something to talk about."
“Say it."
“I hope the tribe can set up a scout team, specializing in reconnaissance and message delivery, etc." In this regard, Meng has already discussed with the two biggest heads of the tribe beforehand, and both Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo have indicated that the scout team is necessary.
To take this matter out of public discussion today is to select and decide who is going to be responsible for this team.
Zheng and everyone know the importance of scouting.After Yan Mo’s several calls, he paid more attention to the scouting. Meng proposed to set up a scout team, and no one objected. Even Meng said that he would choose elites from various warriors to enter into the scouting team, and no one objected
As for the leader of the scout team, it is tentatively set to Meng himself.
Yuan Zhan waved his hand and decided: "In the future, Meng's fourth warrior regiment will be replaced by as scout regiment. The regiment will be responsible for scouting. It is mainly responsible for reconnaissance and message delivery."
Yan Mo interjected: "There will also be an exploration and intelligence gathering part of the scouting team. The scout team not only need to be faster, the vision must be better and other abilities even better, and it is best if they are able to fight independently."
When he treated a military commander, the uncle told him that the ancient scouting warriors were the ancestors of the Special Forces, not the most excellent warriors can't be scouted, and sometimes the scouts will act as a masterpiece of any war action.
“Next!" Yuan Zhan looked at another person again.
Things were settled in this way, and finally it was Yan Mo.
“Don't you sleep late at night?" Yan Mo asked everyone with a smile.
Everyone laughed together, and the lively people shouted: "Cold, why not cold? Even pee turns to ice these days."
Yan Mo, now, has not yet reached the level of peeing to bring wooden sticks. But it is also a matter of time. Last winter, a bunch of things, filling the stomach and building a city in the first two, a lot of hard work has been largely ignored, of which the cold weather is one of them.
“From last year's snowfall to the weeds sprouting, it took a full five months, which means that it is winter in the first half of the year. Apart from the ignition top in the house, do you have any good way to prevent cold and cold? Just say, everyone is brainstorming. I will first say one, this is what I have eavesdropped from the ancestors, and I don’t know the detailed way.” Yan Mo mentioned the fire and the ground fiery dragon, explaining their benefits and simple principles.
Even if other people are smart, it is difficult to come up with any good ideas because of lack of knowledge and imagination. On the contrary, they have been discussing the fire and the fiery dragon.
“If we can put it directly in the underground, we will sleep directly on the ground, and it will be warm."
“I don't know what to do with the smoke pipe. I think that the fire that burns directly underneath is very good, and it doesn't matter."
“If it’s about the wood. There is a little forest next to us, but there are so many dwarfs. In the past, the little forest had Yuan Ji Tribe. Everyone has to go through the winter. How many firewood can we get? Can't you go to the forest in the distance to chop firewood?"
“You can let the warriors go, just need training."
“The forest is far and dangerous. Don't forget, there are also Chi people inside, if the warriors who entered the forest and met them what will they do?”
As they said, everyone quarreled.
“Hey.” Yuan Zhan knocked on the table and everyone immediately shut up.
“Be prepared in two hands, who are interested in doing sputum and flue, wait for me or Mo, if no one volunteer, we will assign a people responsibility. In addition, from tomorrow, Da Shan will lead the team to build for each household. A stove that burns directly underneath, except for the head, other warriors with earth control ability must cooperate with Da Shan to see this through.”
“Yes.”
Yan Mo also agreed that the kind of burning fire bandits is the fastest and most effective means to protect against the cold, even if everyone does not, how many times you can always find out the trick.
“As for the burning wood, first collect it from nearby, do you want to go into the forest, I will talk with Priest Da Ren afterwards."
“Yes."
“There is still something, Yuan Ji..."
“Hey!" A sharp knock went on the door when it sounded, Yan Mo was interrupted and Yan Mo and others looked at the door.
Just listening to a guard outside the door shouted: "The First Chief, Priest Da Ren, the watchtower guard is calling in a hurry!"
