Ancient wasteland

Chapter 43 Baa-baa-baa-beast

So lovely.

Jing Que's attention was completely attracted by the big silver lion in front of him. The furry silver lion was lying in front of him, and even acted like a baby with him.

In an instant, he forgot about the spring rain that was still falling outside, the humid air and the dim light, and there was only the furry in front of him exuding a soft silver light, and he couldn't help reaching out and stroking its head.

It's strange to say that after Ye Ye transformed into a beast, the silver hair hangs down from his back, and the length is not small, about half a meter or even longer.

It is extremely soft to the touch, much softer than the animal hair Jing Qu has seen, not only very soft, but also very thin.

Compared with his hair, it's a little thinner.

It's so soft and thin, but its toughness is very good. When he put on the necklace, he pulled it and it didn't break, and the long hair didn't even tangle!

It's amazing, Jing Que lightly stroked Ye's soft hairs, felt them passing under his hands, and instantly felt better.

While stroking the lion, he said with a smile, "Ye, your beast form is so beautiful. I feel that after you transform into a beast form, the environment in the cave will brighten up, and the sky will not be so dark."

The big lion lying on the ground gently rubbed against his knees, seeming to be very happy with his compliment.

Jing Qu really felt that he was being coaxed, leaned slightly to approach the lion, and gently opened his hands to hug Ye's neck, "Thank you very much.

It was a little annoying at first, because it is very humid when it rains, and the sky is always dark, so it is inevitable that I will be in a bad mood, but it is much better now.

When I get out the spinning machine and the loom, I will use your shed hair to weave into cloth and clothes, so that you will always shine brightly.

It looks good, not to mention, how majestic it is when you go out! "

Leaning on his giant beast, he moved his head a little, but Jing Qu couldn't see the movement while holding him, so he stepped back a little, "Why, you don't feel good?"

The wild silver head rested against his legs, arching slightly upwards in his direction.

Jing Que was a little confused, and couldn't quite understand what it wanted to express, so he could only try to guess, "You mean give me the clothes?"

Seeing the silver head nodding up and down in front of him, Jing Que laughed lightly, in a good mood, this kind of gesture of kindness was done by the silver lion, it was simply irresistible.

Then think about it for a while, the wild only sheds its hair in spring and autumn. Although the silver hair is very long, it will be collected and spun into yarn and weaving. I don't know how long it will be.

At that time, not to mention cotton cloth, judging from the ramie by the lake, there must be no shortage of fine linen for tailoring clothes.

In addition, he really liked that color, so he didn't refuse, "Okay, then give it to me."

The soft touch of the palm of the hand made Jing Zhu's thoughts drift away. In fact, it was not just linen, but when cotton was not popular.

Many animal hairs can be used for spinning and weaving, the most famous of which is cashmere thread, and all kinds of double-sided cashmere were very popular when he bought clothes.

There are many styles, light and thin, good-looking, and very warm.

Wool...and cashmere. Unfortunately, the bleating beasts brought back by the hunting team were somewhat different from the sheep he knew.

The body is bigger. After all, the main purpose is to eat meat. Within the scope of ability, one must choose a large body. The main reason is that the baa-baa beast has no hair on its body.

...It's a bit like a bald goat. The leather and meat taste very similar to goats, but there is no wool, which is a pity.

Jing Qu carelessly stroked the silver lion, his movements gradually slowed down, and he lowered his head to talk to Ye, "Ye, when you are hunting.

Have you ever seen a beast with a sound similar to a bleating beast, but with white curly hair on its body, it may be slightly smaller than a bleating beast. "

Ye quietly lay on his lap, lost in thought. After about 5 minutes passed, Ye nodded to show that he had seen it.

Jing Que stopped stroking his hair and patted his head lightly, "Good job, it's not far from our tribe, if not too far.

When the weather clears, can you help me catch two and bring them back, okay? I want two adult ones, one male and one female, and it would be even better if there are cubs.

I want to try to raise them, and then wait for the right season to shear them. Wool can be used for spinning and weaving to keep warm and durable than animal hides. "

The treated wool, no matter it is made into thin thread weaving or spun into slightly thicker wool, is very warm for knitting sweaters.

At least it is much warmer than wearing animal skin alone. Jing Que thought about his cashmere sweater and cashmere coat, which can directly survive the winter!

Ye tilted his head, his silver-gray eyes were full of doubts, Jing wants to raise those white beasts that can only bleat?

But those wild beasts live outside by themselves, so what should they do?

Jing Que saw doubts in his eyes. The big lion's eyes were as beautiful as his fur, mostly silver with a little gray.

Looking like shining gems, the bright doubts inside are so vivid, making the two gems shine brightly.

People can't help but want to reach out and touch it, Jing Zhuo presses his fingers that are just about to move.

He smiled and explained to him, "The baa-baa beasts are more docile, and they are very easy to domesticate. I want to try to domesticate them.

Wild, planting and breeding are all very good methods. I can harvest much more than hunting and gathering. Wait until I plant the land well!

Wait until the windy season is harvested and you will see how attractive the bountiful harvest is, but until then, I hope you will support me. "

Ye opened his big silver-gray eyes, looked at him quietly for a while, nodded half understanding, and lay back on his knees again.

Knowing that he was agreeing, Jing Qu brushed the long hair on his neck for him with a smile, and continued to discuss with him, "It's not just the long-haired baa beast.

There is also a beast with red eyes, long teeth, and off-white or black fur. They also have very long fine hair.

If you encounter them while hunting, help me catch two more. This kind of beast is also very easy to domesticate. It can be sheared and spun, and it can also eat meat. "

He had already thought about it. As far as the wasteland in front of their tribe was cleared up, less than half of it could be planted, and the rest was overgrown with weeds.

At that time, two acres can be circled for planting grass...! ?grass!

Jing Que stopped stroking the lion, and stood up from the stool, ignoring Shangye's astonished eyes, and strode towards the entrance of the cave.

Going to the entrance of the cave, he picked up the leaves, turned his head and smiled at the big lion looking up at him, "I'll go back to my cave and see, I'll be back soon."

He rushed into the rain against the leaves, looked around blankly, and after a little hesitation, turned into a human figure, put on his clothes, and followed Jing Que.

Climbing halfway up the mountain, I saw Jing Zheng squatting at the entrance of the cave, looking at the two plants in the wooden frame in front of him with a smirk, the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes fascinated.

It looked as if he wanted to lie down in the wooden frame. The wooden frame was made by Jing Zhu for planting magical seeds, and it was not treated against moisture.

It has been used for a long time, and it looks moldy and dirty, but Jing Que can't see those black marks at this time, and just smiles.

Hearing the movement, he raised his head and saw Ye, beckoned with a smile on his face, and let Ye pass by, "Do you know what this plant is?"

Ye followed and squatted down, carefully looked at it for a long time, and honestly shook his head to express that he didn't know, Jing Que smiled and clapped his hands, "This is alfalfa.

The few seeds planted here are of extraordinary origin. According to inertia, it can be speculated that this should be high-quality alfalfa, which has high nutritional value, is very easy to cultivate and grows, and even grows faster than thatch.

Didn’t we just say that we want to raise long-haired bleating animals? With this alfalfa, we don’t have to worry about no food to feed them.

And we can also eat it. When it grows up, you can pinch the tender tip to make stir-fry or cold salad. Although I haven't eaten it, the taste should be pretty good.

This year we will try to domesticate the long-haired bleating beasts first, the scale is very small, it is a pity that we will cut the weeds to feed them, and wait until next year...and beyond.

As the scale of farming increases, the scale of alfalfa planting also increases. At that time, we can try to domesticate other prey.

For example, moo beasts have a simple and honest personality, and they have great strength, which is very suitable for transportation... that is, to transport salt back from the Great River Tribe. "

Seeing the alfalfa, Jing Qu happily fantasized about the grand occasion of herds of cattle and sheep in their tribe, chatting for a long time by himself.

He stopped, looking at Ye Ye with a confused face, and stood up on his knees, "These are all my ideas, you don't have to be confused.

I like to make a plan first, and then go slowly, and when all these are realized, you will not understand what I said after seeing it. "

Ye Ye looked at him for a long time before he sincerely praised, "Jing, you are really amazing."

Jing Que accepted the compliment with a smile, and smiled slightly, "Actually, I can't be considered as good, these are all from our country... from the tribe.

The knowledge passed down from generation to generation, I just learned these, not all figured out by myself.

If you want to say that it is powerful, our tribe is actually more powerful, but unfortunately..."

The smile on his face faded, not knowing how to go back.

He couldn't even figure out how he got here, and sometimes Jing Que even suspected that he was dreaming.

When he woke up that day, he was still lingering in front of the computer in his room, manipulating the characters in the game to make pills and sell clothes.

Shake your head vigorously, if it is really a dream, just wait until you wake up from the dream, you should work hard now!

Probably because the beast-shaped silver lion is too good-looking, coupled with the appearance of alfalfa, Jing Que was just decadent and irritable, and became full of energy.

My head is spinning at a high speed. If I write an article, I will definitely be full of ideas. Although I don't write an article, I just got stuck on several nodes.

It was like fried popcorn, "pop", "pop" and "pop" were exploded, and the design drawings were quickly completed in the mind as if with the help of a god.

Even the speed of cutting the gears became faster. Before the spring rain stopped, he was actually allowed to successfully make the spinning jenny.

Jing Que looked at the half-person-high machine in front of him, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth. This is a spinning machine that can spin eight threads at the same time.

The beginning of the Western industrial age is now being fiddled with. Although they are all wooden structures, they are not as easy to use as iron ones.

But Jing Que is already very satisfied, this machine is much easier to use than the one he made before.

Not only can it spin hemp, but cashmere can also be used, and rabbit hair and wool can naturally be used. It can be said to be fully functional and easy to operate.

Simply awesome!Even if there is only hemp spinning at present, it may not improve the efficiency. There are so many ramie waiting to be harvested by the lake.

Jing Que asked Ye to help move the machine into the big hole, and after handing it over to Granny Ye, he watched her fumble for how to use it and put the hemp fiber in it.

A more uniform and suitable hemp thread was spun out, Jing Que twisted a hemp thread to take a closer look, smiled and nodded, "Very good, this thickness is very good!

When I get the loom out tomorrow, we can try making clothes... Do you think this off-white color would look bad? ! "

Ye shook his head beside him, and Ye followed suit.

It means that these white twine are already very beautiful, better than her black animal skin!

There is no saying in the tribe to wear sackcloth and filial piety, and it is not taboo to wear white sackcloth.

Jing Que thought about it for a while, "Then weave the cloth first. The cloth is white. I'll think about it first and find the right dye to dye it."

He vaguely remembered that indigo was extracted from plants. Since blue was fine, other colors should be fine too.

But there is no rush, the loom should be made first, and the most important thing is to weave more cloth and save it.

Even if they don't wear it, they can still exchange it for salt at the trade fair.

The loom is not difficult. Jing Zhu knew the general structure and made it very quickly.

What he does is machine-woven, that is, the warp and weft threads are interspersed horizontally and vertically. Compared with the traditional old-fashioned loom, it is not in a hurry to use it.

First put it in his own hole and polish it. This step is a bit time-consuming. He doesn't have sandpaper or other tools, so he can only wipe it with animal skin.

Clean up all the picks and bumps on the wood, and then carefully rub tung oil on the machine to ensure that it can be used for a long time.

He was busy tidying up the loom in the cave, and the hunting team outside came back noisily, waiting for the meat to be divided, and Jing Qu finished wiping the tung oil.

Walking out of the cave, I didn't see Ye in the hunting team, "Did Ye not hunt with you?"

Bei threw away the black leather pig on his shoulders, "He said to catch the long-haired bleating beast, that place is a bit far away, so we might not be able to keep up.

Just turn into a beast and fly over to catch it. It's strange why the wild wants to catch the long-haired baa-baa beast. Does anyone in the tribe want to have cubs with her? "

She was full of doubts, and Jing Yu listened even more confused, "Uh... the long-haired baa-baa beast was caught by Ye Ye."

Bei squinted at him, his gaze was a little strange, he hesitated to speak for a long time, and in the end he just patted him on the shoulder without saying anything.

"Then you... come on?!"

Jing Que, "...?!" What does this mean, let him work hard!

He coughed and was about to explain, but Bei had already turned around and strode away, making him feel uncomfortable all over his body.

Standing there frowning, he tried hard to think about what Bei's words meant.

Shan came over from the side and patted him on the shoulder, "Jing, are you and Ye going to live together?"

Jing Zhuo, "..."

Didn't he tell the priest not to spread this matter! ?The setting of worshiping you, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and not caring, has completely collapsed!

He quickly shook his head, "Who did you hear that I want to live with Ye?"

Shan's face was taken for granted, as if I knew everything and didn't need to listen to anyone.

"Then what do you want to do with the long-haired bleating beast? The meat of the long-haired bleating beast is most suitable for eating before going to bed. After eating, you will be full of energy.

Isn't it because you are afraid that you won't be able to carry Ye's body?Do you want to eat more baa baa beast meat? "

Jing Que gasped, the tribe eats so much animal meat, he has never heard of this saying? !

Quickly explain, "...?! No! I want to grow the fur of the Baabaa beast, and use it for spinning to make clothes. What are you thinking about!"

Shan obviously didn't believe it, "Okay, even if you want the hair of the baa-baa beast, it doesn't affect you to eat meat, you should eat more, and don't let the wild eat it!

He is very strong in itself, and if you eat long-haired baa-baa animal meat, you really can't handle it if you are so thin. "

Jing Que, "...Get out!"
