However, aunt Bayer always came forward to help them speak, and said that these people just had no clothes in winter, so they couldn't die of cold. Guli and her daughter have nothing to say.
Wang Mudan and his family could have sewed clothes. After the materials came back, they were instructed by Aunt Bayer, so the clothes were made very smoothly. They also made boots for everyone.
Ye Xiaoxian calculated the cost and knew that Aunt Bayer really wanted to help them. The cost and price were one-third cheaper than the ready-made clothes on the market, so they saved another sum.
She wanted to send some potato chips to Aunt Bayer, but aunt Bayer was not interested in these snacks. She ate a little and said she didn't need to send them next time.
Ye Xiaoxian went to see the fish replenishment team again. Winter is coming soon. They have to hoard winter food. Drying dried fish is the best way to replenish protein.
That day, ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu followed Liu's servants to the lake. These two servants are responsible for fishing. She can't fish, but she wants to know how many fish these two servants can catch a day and whether it is possible to improve efficiency.
Winter is coming, and the river is cold. Maybe it will freeze soon. Ye Xiaoxian sees that they all cast nets on the shore. If only there were a small boat, they could cast nets directly in the middle of the lake, so that they can harvest more.
Ye Xiaoxian's problem has not been considered by the servants, but they can't build a ship. If they simply nail some wood into a ship, they are afraid that the ship will sink.
The lake here is very deep. If you fall into it, you will swim and maybe freeze to death.
Shipbuilding, I don't know if anyone in the tribe knows. If anyone knows, it's better to build or borrow one.
Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu walked back. Xiao Baozhu, with sharp eyes, suddenly pointed to a bend in the river downstream and shouted, "sister-in-law, you see there's a small boat there. Is it for fishing?"
"Go and have a look!"
They soon came to the wooden boat. The boat was very small and could seat about five people. Things could be put in the middle of the boat. Ye Xiaoxian saw a lot of fish scales on it. She guessed that the boat was used for fishing.
The ship was tied to a post. I didn't know who the owner was.
Look at the structure of the ship. If you follow it, I don't know how long it will take. You have to cut wood and then batch it into plates. Maybe the ship hasn't been done well, and winter will come.
Watching, a whistle came from behind them.
When they looked back, they saw a young man dressed as a local man whistling at them, with a trace of tone and teasing.
Xiao Baozhu whispered, "this man looks very frivolous. He shouldn't be a good man?"
Thinking that some people in the tribe were xenophobic, ye Xiaoxian thought it better not to provoke him, so she politely smiled at the man, and then pulled Xiao Baozhu: "let's go."
But the man ignored Ye Xiaoxian's politeness. Instead, he went to Ye Xiaoxian and asked her in local dialect, "do you want a boat?"
Ye Xiaoxian and others learned the local dialect for some time, but the "want" in front did not understand the "boat word". The young man pointed to the boat and said, "mine."
She understood this time, but she was embarrassed to borrow it, so she politely said in local dialect, "that... Good, good."
But the young man suddenly said, "lend me."
Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu understood these three words, but they all couldn't believe that the young man would borrow their boat?
Ye Xiaoxian waved her hand: "no, No."
The young man smiled, then untied the rope tied to the post, stepped on the boat first, and then called Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu: "come up."
Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu look at each other. What will happen if they get on his boat? Will it look frivolous?
I remember aunt Bayer said that there are not so many rules between men and women in Tianshan tribe. They can ride a horse together. Women and men are treated the same.
The man pointed to the upper reaches. There was a servant of Liu's family. The man said, "go there!"
These ye Xiaoxian also understood.
Since he said to go upstream, he shouldn't do anything bad to them. Ye Xiaoxian pulled the Xiao Baozhu and said, "no matter, let's go with him. Everyone is in the same boat. We have two more people. He can't do anything."
Xiao Baozhu also got on the boat.
The boat was very shaky. When they went up, the boat almost shook them down.
The man suddenly reached out and helped Ye Xiaoxian. Ye Xiaoxian stabilized herself and then held Xiao Baozhu.
Seeing that they were both seated, the young man smiled, whistled and rowed the boat upstream.
The river is fairly calm, and it doesn't take much effort to row. The man rowed for a while and sang a song.
It's a local folk music that can only be sung with a loud voice, but it has a different style.
Ye Xiaoxian looked at the man from the side and saw that he was very handsome. The people here had very straight noses and beautiful eyes. Basically, they didn't look ugly.
Except that gulina's mother and daughter were fierce and affected their faces.
Ye Xiaoxian asked in the local dialect she had just learned, "what's your name?"
"Me? My name is doriku."
Doriku, I don't know what it means. The names of people here have moral meanings, either representing beautiful flowers, or beautiful moon, etc.
Doriku looked back and asked, "what about you?"
Ye Xiaoxian didn't know how to express her name, so she said in Chinese, "leaf."
Xiao Baozhu followed, "Baozhu."
"Oh, leaves and pearls." Doriku turned back and squeezed a natural and unrestrained and slightly frivolous smile towards them.
After a while, they reached the upstream. The two servants saw Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu coming by boat. There was a local man on board. They were a little confused.
Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu got off the boat one after another. Then she asked doriku, "boat, really, lend us?"
Doriku directly gave the oar to Ye Xiaoxian, stretched out a finger, and then smiled at her: "every day, two hours before sunset."
Ye Xiaoxian followed the gesture: "lend us two hours a day and return it before sunset?"
Doriku nodded and gave Ye Xiaoxian a thumbs up.
Ye Xiaoxian was worried about his later blackmail, so she asked, "do you want money? Just... Use your money and give you the money you appreciate?"
Dolly Coulton pretended to be angry: "if you want money, don't borrow it."
Ye Xiaoxian didn't know what to say at once. In fact, if she gave some money, she felt better in her heart.
Doriku pointed down the path again: "put the boat in the old place after use."
Worried that ye Xiaoxian couldn't understand, he deliberately slowed down his speed.
Ye Xiaoxian nodded, indicating that she understood.
Then, doriku threw a natural and unrestrained smile at Ye Xiaoxian, then turned and left, took a few steps, and sang his folk songs again.
