Wolf King

If Xiao Yun had just returned to the tribe and asked the patriarch to brag about it...then the patriarch would definitely think that he was out of his mind, and his natural trust in what he said would drop by 100% from then on.

Of course, a veteran in the workplace like Xiao Yun will not make such a mistake. Any newcomer who enters a new department and starts to brag about his education when he has not made any achievements, then believe me, this newcomer will probably be in trouble in two years. I am still bragging about my academic qualifications, because there is nothing to brag about other than academic qualifications.

The first step to make others believe in you is to show the capital that people can believe in. If you are a reliable person, others will naturally believe in you; you are not only very reliable, but also very motivated. If you go to someone who doesn't know how to speak vernacular, then you squat behind and enjoy it comfortably, then this belief will become trust.

Only when trust is established, others can follow you... How did the revolutionary predecessors persuade [-] million peasants to follow the party? It is because the revolutionary predecessors never told me, otherwise, if they want to talk about beautiful words, the revolutionary predecessors may not be able to More bragging than Lao Wang and Lao Jiang... Cough cough.

After more than five months of hard work and enjoyment later to prove his credibility, Xiao Yun boasted of his awesomeness, and it was hard for the patriarch who only believed in his own experience and eyes not to be fooled by him.And when the patriarch looked at him affectionately with the eyes of a lover and completely fell into the pie he drew, Xiao Yun couldn't immediately use the same words to fool other clansmen. The reason is very simple. After all, the vision is not as good as that of the well-informed patriarch. Most people have no idea or imagination about life in one year or half a year. If you draw this cake with the girls, it is very likely that you will play the piano with the cow and reduce the price of this big cake. Forceful... Then it's better to stop talking nonsense and grab the patriarch.

Uh... If you are a professional liar or a pyramid scheme, you will repeatedly brainwash people with the big cakes you drew, no matter whether it is necessary or not. The biggest difference between people.

During the four-month long winter, most of the tribes on the grassland will lose weight in these days when food is hard to find in the ice and snow, and will suffer from various diseases due to reasons such as keeping warm and lack of nutrition, which is not the case in the tribes. concerns.Stewing, thoroughly cooked food, improved sanitation can prevent most parasitic and bacterial infections, and sun-dried plantain and purslane mixed in a clay pot from time to time can prevent grasslands The most common bacillary dysentery and diarrhea when the seasons change, sufficient bean sprouts and enoki mushrooms can prevent the tribe from various diseases due to lack of vitamins, especially enoki mushrooms, enoki mushrooms contain a lot of vegetarian fiber, which can effectively solve constipation caused by the decrease in drinking water in winter question.

When the patriarch and Xiao Yun were discussing how many sheep to slaughter to overcome the food crisis, the clansmen were quite carefree and heartless.

In the No. [-] Chase Room, Qingyan, who was sitting on the end of the kang, was being surrounded by cubs at the moment. A group of teenagers, big and small, yelled at the sweater needles flying up and down in Qingyan's hands, in amazement. Someone poked Qingyan's half-knit woolen vest with his fingers.

Qingyan: "..." Silently cast his eyes on the adult snow werewolf on the other side of the kang.

Hongye, the warrior sharpening the bone arrow, shrugged at him, expressing that he was helpless.

Qingyan felt the egg pain.

It is undeniable that the grass, the big river, and the wool are indeed the most dexterous among the snow werewolves... But this dexterity is relatively speaking. In the step of knitting a sweater, none of these three can come in handy.

When Xiao Yun thought that he would be immersed in the painful time of knitting, Qingyan, a cat clansman, stood out—his fingers, which were longer, slender and more flexible than the snow werewolves, were simply an excellent assistant for knitting, almost a You can see it; there is nothing to say, Xiao Yun immediately rescued him from the hard life (?!) of hanging out with the cubs all day long, and put the heavy responsibility of knitting sweaters for the whole clan on his shoulders. on his shoulders.

When Qingyan came back to his senses... Apart from hating his strong curiosity as a cat clansman and wanting to play with everything he saw, he really had no other thoughts.

That's all, but the cubs of the snow werewolf still treat him as a rarity... Look, they don't run out to play in the snow in the morning, they all circle around him.

"Yo, it's all here."

When Xiao Yun entered the door and saw the cubs were there, he immediately beamed with joy: "Come over here, I need your help with something—"

The cubs wailed one after another... No!Ayun is helping others with work again!

It's a pity that the protest was ineffective. Unknowingly, the person who assigned the work in the tribe has changed from the patriarch to Ayun. Whoever is caught by him has to work honestly, otherwise the delicious food he occasionally brings out must be I won’t give it to you—Ayun’s memory is super strong in this regard, and even the thickest-skinned and most cheating cubs can’t fool him.

Shouting all the cubs to make clay for him, Xiao Yun had time to check Qingyan's work progress.

"You don't need to weave it so densely. It doesn't matter if it's loose. Anyway, it's worn between two layers of animal skins to keep warm. If it's too densely woven, the thread will be useless." Picking up a straight woolen vest and shaking it, Xiao Yun said to Qingyan's stitching method is quite satisfactory, "This one is not bad, just use this kind of stitches, weave the cubs' ones and then weave the adults' ones, your own ones are included in the cubs' batch."

The biggest use of the woolen vest is to provide warmth for the torso. After all, the most vulnerable part of the human body is the internal organs. It doesn't matter if the hands and feet are a little cold.

Roughly looking through the finished products Qingyan woven, Xiao Yun sat down opposite Qingyan, put on a posture of talking heart-to-heart, with a kind look on the face of the aunt of the neighborhood committee: "Qingyan, you have been separated from your tribe for a whole winter, have you missed your tribe? ? Friends who have a good time with you, girls and guys you like, etc., sometimes I miss them a lot?"

Qingyan: "?!"

"Don't be nervous, it's human nature to miss relatives and friends." Xiao Yun smiled very gently, "Everyone will have relatives and friends who get along better, even if they are exiled, it doesn't mean that they will completely break up with relatives and friends. It's unreasonable, don't you think?"

"..." Qing Yan silently turned his head away, and squinted at Xiao Yun with suspicious eyes. He is not as innocent as a snow werewolf. When doing troublesome things.

His resistance made Xiao Yun very regretful... After all, Xiao Yun is not a devil, and he has bad intentions towards him without saying anything. Since he is so defensive, Xiao Yun has no choice but to tell him the truth: "Qingyan, do you think the sweater you knit and the wool carpet I showed you last time are better than animal skins?"

Qingyan nodded, it’s nothing to say, animal skins are stuffy and airtight when worn on the body, and the thermal performance is just the same. In contrast, soft sweaters and blankets are much less irritating to the skin, so wearing them or lying on them to sleep All comfortable.

"Then I plan to treat sweaters and blankets as our tribe's foreign trade goods, and there is a market for them?" Xiao Yun followed suit.

Qingyan hesitated for a while, then nodded slowly.The sweater made of long-haired sheep is indeed more comfortable to wear. When he finished knitting and tried it on, he didn't want to take it off... The fabric clothes he bought from the caravan didn't even have a sweater to wear. Warm, and not as strong as a sweater—the layer of long hair is thick and resilient, and ordinary fabrics can't compare.

What Xiao Yun plans to use as the main products are actually pottery and blankets, but since the person he wants to persuade is Qing Yan who is in charge of knitting sweaters, then of course the sweaters should be ranked first... Nowadays, pottery is readily available, but blankets are still needed. It would be done by hand, and it would be too busy for him to make it up slowly by himself, so...Xiao Yun picked up Qingyan, or in other words, picked up the idea of ​​the Qingyan tribe.

Seeing Qingyan approaching the bait, Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes with a smile: "That's what happened, wait for ten days and a half months, and the snow will melt. I'm going to bring pottery to exchange things with the Tauren tribe. When the time comes, I will leave you cat tribe." The tribe is approaching, you can go back and have a look..."

Qingyan smiled wryly and interrupted: "No way, Ayun, exiled people cannot return to the tribe... they will be expelled by force."

"Don't be so rigid. I didn't tell you to go back in an open and honest manner. Cough cough, you can visit your relatives and friends secretly!" Xiao Yun smiled, "Your tribe is a big tribe with more than 300 people. Yes, I heard that there is a big difference in body size and force between different clans within your cat clan, so there will always be a relatively weak small race that is not in harmony with the main race, and may get mixed up in your big cat clan Not very good, being bullied or something - if you have such relatives and friends, you can definitely provide them with a way and more choices, such as bringing them to live in our tribe!"

Qing Yan: "Uh (ΩДΩ)?!"

Xiao Yun raised his hand and put it on Qingyan's shoulder: "You can see that our Snow Werewolves are very hospitable and kind to the weak after being with us for so long, yes, for example, Thrall, he is weaker than the weakest member of your cat clan. Everyone in the clan is weak, isn’t it a particularly nourishing life here? We snow werewolves, we have nothing else but a sincere heart to pity the weak, the weaker people are more protected here..."

Hongye, a soldier sitting on the other side of the kang in Datongpu, looked at Xiao Yun who was talking dully... Ah Yun, is this, is this openly poaching the population of other tribes? !Still digging so confidently? !

Hongye felt that if Qingyan was angry, he might violently beat Ayun, so she quickly put down the bone arrow and prepared to sit closer... Then she found that Qingyan was not angry, but showed a struggling expression.

Hongye: "?!"

The tribal concept of the Snow Werewolves is very important, and the development of this concept is based on a premise: the Snow Werewolves are especially edible, so each tribe can support not many people, and the largest snow werewolf tribe has They can't pass a hundred. Of course, it is difficult for such an idea person to generate too much internal friction and competition in a long-term common life.

The cat clan is different, even the relatively strong black panther clan eats less than the cubs of the snow werewolves... Not to mention other cat races that are smaller, so a large cat clan can often have three to 500 people living together ——Although this number is not large, it is enough to generate discordant voices within the group. For example, it is difficult for the small cat subfamily to have the same status as members of the large cat family.

On the grassland, snatching members of other tribes without the permission of both tribes is enough to trigger a war. The tribes that have the capacity to accept new members are at most accepting exiled people, or the original tribe suffered a tragic disaster and could not survive independently. remnants.Qing Yan was not sure whether Xiao Yun knew this common sense, but... Xiao Yun's words moved him very much.

In the tribe he belongs to, there is indeed a phenomenon that Xiao Yun guessed. In recent years, the rabbit mantle tribe with only [-] tribesmen has been paid less and less attention in the tribe.

No matter how weak the smaller cat clan is, it has a fighting power that surpasses that of humans. However, when the population in the clan is too small, it is difficult to have offspring, and it is impossible to grow the clan, the smaller cat clan is destined to suffer cold reception—after all, they cannot Smaller groups, like the Tiger Clan, can protect the pastures they need to survive.

"...Ayun, I think what you said is very good, but..." After thinking about it, Qingyan decided to point it out to Xiao Yun, "After the Tiger Clan left the tribe, the Cat Clan never allowed the Clan Breaking away...not even from the weakest and smallest small tribe."

"Oh, so your tribe really has such an unpopular minority?" Xiao Yun rubbed his fists.

"Ayun, can you understand what I mean?" Qingyan couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course I can understand, I can understand, poaching other people's corners is definitely not a good thing~" Xiao Yun still smiled, "Which race is it, is it skillful or not?"

"It's the rabbit mantle family, they are very flexible, but..."

"I said don't worry!" Xiao Yun patted Qingyan on the shoulder, "It is true that there will be conflicts if you rob people from other tribes, but what if you say it is not a forceful robbery? For example, what did the rabbit man tribe do? Good things, exile, expulsion, etc. of the original tribe, in short, we don’t want them, so it’s okay for us to pick up the leaks?”

"...Huh?" Qingyan couldn't recover.

"This kind of thing just needs to communicate internally and externally and discuss a solution. It's not easy to be liked, but it's not easy to be disliked?" Xiao Yun chuckled and said calmly, "Come on, tell me in detail, Rabbit What was the situation of the mandarin clan before you left, so we can prepare a plan in advance."

Qing Yan: "..." I always feel that something is wrong, but it seems that I can't refuse Ah Yun...? !

Hong Ye silently packed up her things and went out, she didn't want to listen any more.

Under Xiao Yun's all kinds of flickering and secret training, time slowly passed, and half a month later, the snow no longer fell from the sky, and the snow field that had been frozen for several months gradually showed signs of blooming.

"Phew... Sure enough, the coldest time is when the snow melts." Xiao Yun got out of the firewood and breathed out large clouds of white mist with one mouth, "How many degrees below zero is it now, such a small wind is so sharp Luckily, the woolen vest has been let down on the cheeks, otherwise it would be a big trouble if it is frozen."

The clouds in the sky seemed to have thinned a little, but the sun still couldn't be seen.Stepping on the thick snow layer, the cold chill penetrated through the gaps in the rattan straw sandals, even if it was wrapped in a layer of animal skin, it was a bit freezing.

"No wonder those brats didn't come out to play in the snow this morning, it's so quiet." Xiao Yun stretched his waist, and accidentally touched his ear with his raised arm... Then he shrunk his neck subconsciously, "—— !"

This is probably what Xiao Yun was most dissatisfied with after transmigrating into a snow werewolf. The snow werewolf in human form still has animal ears on both sides of its head... Moe didn't feel it at all. Meng's designation is not for ordinary people, Xiao Yun is definitely not good at it.The ears with hair on the pinna are not afraid of cold, but they are afraid of being touched. It seems that there are more nerves all over the pinna, as if the weakness is placed on the head.

Hmm... Anyway, there is no mirror where you can't see your own image. Apart from the occasional annoyance, I don't have any other feelings.

"It's because I'm afraid that my ears will be frozen off, so I don't have fleshy ears like humans." Xiao Yun shook his head, turned around and walked to No. [-] Chase Room.

During the snow melting period, the temperature is lower than when it is snowing. Ah Shan, who got up early in the morning to clear the snow from the roof, is still lying on the kang, sleeping soundly with his woolen arms...Xiao Yun saw that the woolen was not hugged It was very hard, so I ignored her and went inside to shake the horns to wake up.

Niujiao opened his dim sleepy eyes to see Xiao Yun clearly, then shivered suddenly, and hugged the animal skin quilt tightly: "You promised to let me rest for two days, the frostbite on my feet is still not healed!"

"Tsk..." Xiao Yun shook his head. It's really not the same in the world. It's better to be fooled by the bull's horns. If you suffer too much, you will start to worry about it. "How come, when will the things I promised be changed randomly? You said it yourself. I can’t forget you even if I have something delicious, yes, today I’m going to fry pork floss, will you come?”

Rubbing the bull's horns and jumping off the kang... as long as the method is correct, it is quite easy to fool the coolies.

Dealing with the Grassland Holy Mother of the Tauren is not difficult, but to seduce Keke and save the hare and mantle clan who are suffering from suffering, you must pay attention to skills. Xiao Yun thought that it would be better to give something delicious than to be obedient, so he prepared to bring some meat floss to serve as a pawn. Greeting ceremony.

In terms of raw materials, Xiao Yun chooses fresh beef... Take the horns to the pen and pull out a sick horned cow waiting to be slaughtered, slaughter, bled, peeled, cut the beef meat into thin slices, add water and dried cheese Cooked in a pot - no other seasonings, just rely on cheese to increase the milk flavor.

Take out the cooked beef, drain the water, put it outside to cool, then flatten the meat with a round wood, tear it into pieces by hand, flatten it again, and tear it again until all the meat slices are torn into shreds .

Put the clay pot on the fire again, put in the previously stored fish oil and quickly stir-fry until the shredded pork is fluffy. This process takes about half an hour... It takes physical strength to make a large pot of shredded pork at one time. Yes, with horns there is no difficulty.

There are still not many seasonings, so at this point, the only thing that can be added to the meat floss is salt, pine nuts, and dried shiitake mushroom powder—these dried shiitake mushroom powder was saved from the mouth of the patriarch, and I was not willing to use it before. This time it came in handy.

The beef floss with rich milky fragrance is out of the pot, grab a handful of beef horns, put the rest into clay pots, cover them, and work together!

Lack of seasoning, no matter how capable Xiao Yun is, he can't make more snacks. After packing the meat floss, the next thing to do is to open the kiln and organize the pottery that will be exchanged with the tauren for seeds.

"Eh? Eh?" Niu Jiao carefully held a unique, smooth and shiny pottery, and his mouth directly became an O shape, "Ayun, what is this? Ayun, Ayun?"

"Porcelain ornaments, using glazes on four kinds of natural pigments, it's not bad, isn't it beautiful?" Xiao Yun looked back, and the horns really had a good eye, and he took a fancy to the pottery that he had spent the most time making.

"It's beautiful!" Niujiao carefully held the exquisite painted pottery he had never seen before, his eyes sparkled, "What is this for, Ayun?"

"It's useless, just put it aside for a look." Xiao Yun said casually as he was arranging the pottery bowls, cups and saucers.

"Huh?" Niu Jiao was shocked.

"Don't say you want it, this thing is really useless, it's just for display, to exchange for seeds." Xiao Yun said.He has no idea what the tauren, who are good at farming and vegetarians, like. Since these virgins of the grassland have no worries about food and clothing, besides cups and dishes, he also makes some ornamental things to make up for it.

"Oh..." The horns and ears collapsed, and the pottery was carefully put down.

Xiao Yun looked back at Niu Jiao's reluctant little expression again, and touched his chin... A snow werewolf with a rough nerve like Niu Jiao can fall in love with this kind of useless decoration, so he has no worries about food and clothing, energy, leisure and elegance The tauren who cultivate aesthetics should also like it?

——This so-called pottery ornament is a Q-version of a plump sitting figure of a flower essence... a flower essence, wearing a wreath on the top of the head, wearing a small leaf-shaped skirt, and a plump face The image of a little girl with an exaggerated smile drawn with simple lines.

The black swamp mud finely draws the facial features and the leaf patterns on the skirt, and the light green juice from the boiled leaves is added to the glaze and brushed on the skin (it is really impossible to find white natural plant pigments, and it is not burned out. Porcelain clay with holy light), and then boil the juice to dry out the dark green leaf skirt, the brown from the bark and the purple from the inedible purple berries plus the colorless glaze to leave the white brush garland ——Xiao Yun also wanted to make the wreath pink, but he had nowhere to look for petals in this weather——there were only four colors, so Xiao Yun had the nerve to call it painted pottery.

But... no matter how rough the color is, it is still color. After all, several colors appear together on a small pottery ornament, and the use of glaze makes its surface particularly smooth and bright. Handicrafts can also be sold for a dozen or 20 yuan... cough cough.

When the patriarch saw the statue of the flower essence that Xiao Yun had spent more than an hour pinching out, his reaction made Xiao Yun more confident in selling this ornament—after all, the patriarch, who is also a handful of years, actually picked up this ornament to observe After a few seconds, he raised his head and peeked at Xiao Yun, as if he wanted to rush out the door to snatch it back and hide it. It was really... so straightforward that Xiao Yun didn't bother to complain.

"This is to be exchanged for seeds." Xiao Yun quickly dismissed his thoughts without waiting for the patriarch to speak.

Patriarch: "..."

Xiao Yun stretched out his hand: "Huh?"

The patriarch... The patriarch still didn't let go: "...it would be better for me, the patriarch, to take out this precious pottery statue with my own hands, Ayun, what do you think?"

"Damn it?!" Xiao Yun only felt that there was a thunderbolt, and even the patriarch had learned to use his status to overwhelm others... Uh, using his worth to hype up products? !
