The hoarfrost in late autumn was very thick. When Bai Wu woke up and saw the whiteness outside, he thought it was snowing.

He blinked blankly and looked for a while, only to realize that what was outside was not snow, but frost.

Nan Yao had already gotten up, and he was the only one wrapped in thick animal skin clothes.

He turned his head and subconsciously looked for Nan Yao.

He looked into the distance, and when he turned his head, he saw Nan Yao wearing a single robe and rolling up his sleeves to handle the three deer.

The three deer had been drained of blood. Nan Yao was processing the venison. He cut the dark red venison into neat pieces and placed them on the withered grass.

At this time, he in a black robe formed a stark contrast with the blood-red venison, and matched with the half-light and half-dark azure color, it was very visually impactful.

When Bai Wu saw him, he immediately attracted his attention.

Especially when he moved, his strong and smooth muscles stretched, and his whole body carried an indescribable charm.

Bai Wu almost stared blankly behind him, and it took him a while to come to his senses, Nan Yao was only wearing one piece of clothing, and his outer robe was wrapping around him.

No wonder he felt so warm this morning!

Bai Wu didn't care about staying in bed anymore, got up quickly, first put on her own animal skin robe, then picked up Nan Yao's robe and shook it, shaking off the dust and grass clippings on it, and ran to find Nan Yao.

He stretched out his hand obliquely from Nan Yao's side, "Why are you covering me? Are you not cold?"

"It's not cold now."

"It wasn't cold before. I'm here to help."

"I'm almost too busy. After I decompose the meat, put it in a net bag, and carry it to the Cui Clan, I can call someone to help."

"Don't just use the net bag, and use the back basket to pack some, I will carry it with you."

When Bai Wu was talking, he saw a large puddle of deer blood congealed on the ground, and he gasped lightly in distress.

With so much blood, if they make blood tofu, they can eat it for a week.

If only they had enough containers to collect deer blood.

Pity.

Nan Yao heard the movement on his side, turned his head and said to him: "It's not good without bloodletting, the venison without bloodletting will become fishy and sticky."

"I just feel sorry for you casually. I know the reason. I'll help you. Do you need any help?"

Bai Wu himself was not very good at decomposing venison, so he stood by and watched Nan Yao's movements.

Nanyao held a small knife in his hand, and after dividing the leg meat, he began to cut the deer's meat.

The main purpose of their coming out this time is to get the tendons of the deer, and now Nan Yao is also starting from the back of the deer.

There was a thick and long square tendon on the back of the deer, Nan Yao slowly cut it off, and cut out a long one.

Deer tendon is different from venison. It is long and white with a slight yellowish color. It looks very flexible.

Nan Yao took out a whole deer tendon and handed it to Bai Wu.

Bai Wu didn't dislike it at all, held it in his hand and weighed it, only to feel that it was thick and heavy, full of weight.

Nan Yao looked up to observe his expression, and asked, "Can it be used?"

"I think it's okay!" Bai Wu put the deer tendon in the basket on his back, with a little joy on his face, "Come on, let's cut the second one."

Nan Yao obeyed and dealt with the second deer.

The sky became brighter and the sun gradually rose from the sky. They packed up the venison and carried it to the Cui tribe's territory. Nan Yao then flew into the sky to call for the Cui tribe.

The Cui people heard the call and quickly came to help.

The orcs helped to carry the venison to Bai Wu's house, and declined their invitation to stay for dinner.

According to the custom, Bai Wu shared half of the venison from the Cui tribe, and then sent them back.

"I'm so exhausted." Bai Wu lay down on the recliner, not wanting to move.

Nan Yao took out the deer tendon from the basket on his back, "Should I wash it first?"

"Yes, wash it with warm water and dry it in the sun." Bai Wu looked up at the sky, "The weather should be good these few days, the wind is strong, and the deer tendon will be dried soon."

Nan Yao went to pick up the pot.

There are three kangs in Bai Wu's house. When they are heating the kangs, they will put the kettle on top of the pot to burn.

Even if the briquettes have been extinguished, and the residual temperature is warming the hot water, it can still be used when it is lifted.

They took the hot water down and poured it into a basin to wash away the blood and oil on the deer tendons.

After the deer tendon was washed, it turned into a translucent white color. The two hung it on the wooden pole where the bacon was dried, and let the cold wind blow it.

As for the other venison, Bai Wu chose a part and put it in a pot to stew with marinade, and the other part was marinated with salt to make bacon.

Nan Yao washed out the deer bones when he ran into the kitchen to work, "What should I do with these bones?"

Bai Wu poked his head out from the kitchen and took a look, "Chop them up and use some of them to make sauce bones later, and boil the other part to make fat for hot pot base."

"Then I'll go over there and get busy."

Their family's ax is made of black gold, it is very hard and sharp, Nanyao is very strong, once the ax hits, no matter what kind of bone it is, it can break with a sound.

Bai Wu was busy in the kitchen, when she heard Nan Yao chopping bones outside, her voice was crisp and crisp.

Listening to such a voice can be regarded as enjoyment, Bai Wu listened to it, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

There was a lot of venison, and the two had been busy all day, and when their family came back in the evening, they were still busy.

Kishi came back first, and as soon as he landed, he couldn't help asking: "Wu, what did you do today, I can smell the fragrance from far away?"

"Braised venison."

"Didn't you say you were going to hunt bison?"

"We thought, the problem is we have to be able to fight."

"Hahahaha, there will be a day when you can't hunt the prey you want to hunt?"

"Do you still want to eat my braised meat?"

"Eat, eat, eat, I picked a lot of bite-sized fruits today, take a look. This batch of bite-sized fruits is smaller, but the spicy taste is very strong. I just licked it, and I can still feel the spicy taste in my mouth now." .”

"Are you stupid?"

"You are stupid!"

The two brothers fought for a while, and Kishi remembered, "Yafu told me this morning that the ducks at home haven't laid much eggs recently."

Bai Wu didn't pay attention to his ducks recently, and didn't expect this to happen, "Is it too cold or are they doing something else, are they still eating the same as before?"

"It seems to be eating more than before?" Kishi scratched his head, "I don't know, Yafu and the others have been feeding them all this time."

After Chuan and the others came back, before they put down the basket, Bai Wu hurriedly asked, "Father Ya, how are the ducks at home doing? Have they stopped laying eggs?"

"I don't lay eggs very much. I used to lay an egg every day or every other day, but now I don't necessarily lay an egg every four or five days. I also said in the morning that these ducks have already grown up, no matter how much they are raised, they will not grow. If they don't If you lay eggs, why not kill a batch and raise new ones next spring?"

"Don't worry, I'm going to have a look."

"No hurry, I didn't expect to finish them today and tomorrow. What about you, how is your side? I went hunting yesterday and didn't catch any bison?"

"I didn't find it, but I hit a few deer."

"Is the cotton still elastic?"

"It's definitely possible, it depends on the effect of the pop-up."

Bai Wu thought optimistically, anyway, people in this era have never seen quilts, even if the quilts they make are not good enough, at most not fluffy and soft, the covers can still be covered.

The next day, Bai Wu and Nan Yao went to see their ducks first.

They walked around the crab forest, and Bai Wu found sadly that their ducks really didn't lay eggs very much now.

Not only did these ducks not lay eggs, but they were so cold that they shrank into a ball and didn't even want to move.

They did look a little fatter, though, as if they were storing up energy for the winter.

Nan Yao grabbed a duck casually, picked it up and looked at it, "This duck is hard to kill now."

"Aren't they fat and easy to kill, they don't like to move."

Nan Yao stroked their fur, "There are a lot of small fluff inside, and it's very troublesome to pull them out."

Bai Wu leaned over and took a look, "It really is. When can we kill them? After their fluff grows?"

"Wait and see."

Before they could kill the ducks, Chuan told them that the rice in the rice fields was not very good.

The batch of rice that the family has not had time to harvest is late rice.

The weather this year is colder than previous years, and the ears of rice have not had time to grow, and the frost has already fallen, and the rice leaves quickly turn yellow after the frost.

The family originally wanted to harvest rice. Seeing this situation, they felt that it was meaningless to take back the rice, so they kept leaving the pots in the field.

Now even the ears of rice have dried up, and the rice is only half-full.

Most of the rice in that field has grown into corn.

Now the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and they can't even keep the grains. They have to harvest as soon as possible.

Bai Wu came to the paddy field with his family, looked at the whole blackened paddy field, and picked off the ears of rice to check, and found that this kind of rice was basically inedible.

Bai Wu muttered depressingly, "Now we can only cut it off and feed it to the cows?"

Chuan Dao: "It's good if it can be used to feed cattle. Didn't you say that they have been working hard with us for half a year, and they have to eat some good long meat in winter?"

"That being said, it's a pity after all."

Nan Yao said: "Plant early next year, there should be no problem."

"That's the only way, come on, start cutting the rice."

The rice in this field is not full, and it is not very edible after harvesting.

Bai Wu and the others simply cut off the rice seedlings, and threw the seedlings and millet into the cow pen when feeding the cattle, instead of knocking out the millet.

These rice seedlings have been completely dried out, and the grains on them have been dehydrated, so the step of drying is also omitted, and they can be tied up and put into storage.

In winter, cattle and sheep eat bitter grass most of the time, and this batch of grains can be used as a supplement for a small part of the time.

It is not too bad that the grains of rice can also be used to feed ducks.

They are busy harvesting rice.

After working for a few days, the deer tendons dried up unconsciously.

The weather is very dry now, and the deer tendons are as dry as wooden sticks, turning yellow and hard, making a bang when knocked.

Nan Yao looked at such a deer tendon, picked it up, and waved it around.

The deer tendons danced in the air like a "swoosh", Nan Yao turned his head and asked Bai Wu, "Is this the deer tendon that you said can be used as a bowstring?"

"It seems to be?" Bai Wu was not too sure, "I heard that the beef tendon needs to be soaked in water after it is dried, and then slowly pounded into filaments, and the filaments are used to weave bowstrings."

"Try first."

Bai Wu soaked the deer tendons in water. After soaking for a day and a night, the deer tendons became swollen, slippery to the touch, and very elastic when shaken.

They couldn't imagine what the hard deer tendons would look like if they were made into bowstrings, but the soft deer tendons were much easier to imagine.

Bai Wu felt that the dawn of victory was close at hand.

He took Nanyao and hammered the three deer tendons into filaments with a hammer.

The deer tendons are very difficult to pound, and there are much more filaments than they imagined.

This thing is like a soaked vermicelli, it can fill a whole washbasin after being pounded.

Bai Wu felt very wrong, he didn't expect that there were so many deer tendons.

Things have come to this point, no matter how unexpected he is, he can only bite the bullet.

He and Nan Yao tried to weave these hammered filaments into bowstrings.

They all have weaving experience, this step is not difficult.

After a few more days of busy work, they finally made a bowstring that worked well.

Bai Wu couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly went to the backyard to cut a bamboo and came back, cut it into pieces on the spot, baked it with fire, bent it into a bow, and then snapped the bowstring on it.

The bow they made is very similar to that.

As long as they flick something, the bowstring will hum, and the naked eye can see that the bowstring is vibrating at a high speed.

Now that it can vibrate, things will be easy. Bai Wusong breathed a sigh of relief and called the whole family to play cotton with him.

The batting has been ready for a long time. After they divided enough cotton batting into three equal parts, they took out one of them and put it on the prepared cloth, and then the family took turns playing on it with bowstrings.

Bai Wu observed carefully.

He found that the bowstring was really useful. The cotton batting that had been played with the bowstring became obviously soft and fluffy, and more air was stored in it, so the warmth retention should also be better.

After the batting is finished, they grind it with stones to make the batting more compliant.

The originally fluffy and scattered cotton batting gradually became a whole piece after several repeated vibrations and grinding.

After checking it, Bai Wu felt that it was almost done, and took the whole family together to sew the cotton wool and fabric together.

This step is also very troublesome.

They divided the batting into countless grids, and each grid was sewn with thread.

The cotton batting is firmly fixed, no matter how shaken it will not come loose, such a cotton quilt is finally ready.

As long as you put on the quilt cover, this is a quilt that can be used as a cover.

"Okay." Chuan finished sewing the last stitch, shook out the large and thick quilt, folded it into a small roll, and stuffed it into Bai Wu's arms, "There is no need to cover it now, I know it must be a good thing."

This quilt is so soft, so big, and it also has the unique fragrance of Bugo.

Even if they don't actually have it on, they can imagine what it's like to have it covered.

That must be what it's like to sleep in a cloud.

The whole family watched it change from cloth fruit to such a big quilt with their own eyes, and they were quite emotional at this moment.

Bai Wu hugged the soft and fluffy quilt, touched it lightly a few times, and handed it to Nan Yao, "It's worth the trouble for so long."

Nan Yao also touched, "Make two more, and prepare them for Father and the others."

Chuan immediately said: "The quilts you found out, you cover them first, and make them for us when you have time."

Bai Wu put his arms around Chuan's shoulders, "Don't wait, we are all free now. The cotton wadding has been sorted out, and there are plenty of cloths at home, so the step of playing cotton wadding is more complicated. If you come to help, do two more It won't take a few days for a cotton quilt to come out."

Kishi touched the quilt and raised his hand next to him, "I can come back earlier every day to play cotton wool, and I have learned it now."

Bai Wu answered immediately: "Let's work harder together and try to make all the quilts we need at home before the snow falls!"
