Chapter 39 Calling You
After sending away the "undercover" between Yuchuan and her, Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed her hands and sorted out the animal skins first.
There are many kinds of animal skins, big and small, long-haired and short-haired, with patterns and without patterns. They all feel very good to the touch, and you can't tell whether they are good or bad.
Vaguely identifying the two pieces that Nanshan looked down upon, Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed the animal skin and it indeed easily loosened into strips. However, when she pulled it lengthwise, it did not move at all.
She was very surprised and had no idea why it was so fragile and yet so hard. It was such a contradiction.
But on second thought, why do we still hunt and retrieve this kind of fur when we know it is not good?
Maybe they are too poor and no one wants to waste it.
There is no winter in the rainforest, so the fur is generally not thick. Lu Xiaoxiao picked out a few colors she liked and tried them on herself, and decided to make a few more skirts for daily changing.
After the last bathing activity, Lu Xiaoxiao probably understood that people here only take a bath once a month...
She understood, but couldn't agree. She was still thinking about the possibility of washing secretly???
Eh……
It’s fine that I can’t use the toilet freely, but how come I can’t even take a shower…
No way, no way, could she be the only time traveler living such a miserable life?
If you tell this to others, you will be laughed at.
Lu Xiaoxiao scratched her head like a chicken coop and lay on the ground in frustration.
Anyway, let's take care of the food and clothes first. She couldn't stand the animal skin skirt tied with ropes.
Lu Xiaoxiao did it right away. An idea suddenly came to her mind. She took the animal skin that had just been rubbed to pieces and tore it into pieces. Although the lines on the skin were hundreds of times thicker than silk threads, they were still suitable for sewing animal skin skirts.
After confirming again and again that the animal hide would not break due to the movement, Lu Xiaoxiao used a bone knife to cut an opening in the hide and then passed the strips through it, thus connecting the beginning and end of the hide.
Lu Xiaoxiao also added shoulder straps to the clothes so that she wouldn't have to worry about the cloth strips that bound her chest falling off.
After sewing a few more times, Lu Xiaoxiao held up her barely presentable fur skirt and smiled kindly.
"Although it's a bit ugly, it's slightly better than being easily exposed." Sometimes, if the circumference is too long, it's like wearing an extra layer of underwear, and it's still very hot when the sun is strong.
After trying it on and taking a look, Lu Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied with it. The length was just right and it didn't rub the skin. Apart from not being too flowing, it already gave the feeling of a suspender dress.
The success of the first skirt made Lu Xiaoxiao very excited, and she started the second round of challenges with great interest.
After this challenge, it was already night time.
Lu Xiaoxiao rubbed her stiff shoulders and neck. Since she was not very hungry, she was too lazy to eat. She just picked up a few animal skins from the pile of gifts beside her and put them under her body and went to sleep. She was not particular about it anyway, as long as she had something to cover herself.
I don’t know if it’s because she dreams about what she thinks about during the day, but in her dream, she was still sewing clothes seriously, with a diligent smile on her face…

Nanshan emerged from the forest at dawn, holding a lot of prey in his hands.
For example, there are forest foxes with beautiful fur, piglet cubs with tender meat, or perhaps sweet raccoons whose skins are so sweet that you can eat them together. In any case, the backpack in his hand is full.
After a night of running around, there was no trace of fatigue on his face, but more of sighs.
There's nothing I can do. I wasn't in good shape last night and didn't catch the prey I wanted.
"Nanshan, come back from hunting." The Black Feather Tribe practices public ownership + private ownership.
When it is a public hunting game, everyone in the hunting team will receive a corresponding hunting mission, and the meat will be divided according to the completion of the mission.
When it was private, the tribe only took one third of the prey each person got during personal hunting.
But many times, people don’t try too hard because food cannot be preserved for too long and they just have to eat it as quickly as possible.
Even if you can't finish it, you have to force it down. After eating, everyone can only stay at home and digest it slowly~
There are not many people who go hunting privately like Nanshan.
"Yeah." Nanshan liked the feeling of running in the forest and the excitement when catching prey. He thought he must be born for hunting.
"The priest said he's looking for you, so go over there when you have time."
priest?
"Oh, okay." When Nanshan heard that the priest was looking for him, he hurriedly picked up his things and went there. He had to go there anyway.
When we arrived at the priest's residence, he was roasting a fire. In front of him were several bags of salt, which he was going to distribute to everyone today.
"priest."
The priest turned around and asked him to come over and sit next to him: "We are going to the market to exchange some things in 20 days. I want to hear your opinion."
"Every time... aren't they always the same things?" Nanshan was a little confused. The things traded on the market every time were nothing more than salt from the goat tribe, long-haired animal skins from the plains tribe, spices from the herbivorous tribe, and dried meat from the distant mountain tribe.
Every time the Black Feather Tribe exchanges, it’s all salt and animal skins. What else is there to negotiate?
This time they were able to save more of the prey and only exchange it for the hides.
"There is news that there will be ten females in the market this time." The priest had a trace of worry on his face. "Although there are many females in our tribe, I heard that the Haihe tribe has added more than 20 cubs."
He wondered if he should create some more opportunities for the warriors of the tribe.
At the same time, he couldn't bear to let those females go to the Haihe tribe and be treated like that.
"This is not easy to do." Nanshan pondered, thinking about the possibility of this matter. "Females are so precious, they must be very expensive."
This is also the question that the priest is hesitant about, that is, whether it is necessary to use the saved supplies to redeem one or two females?
"The Haihe tribe will definitely not let go of this opportunity." Maybe they still rely on robbing, this news must be a fraud. Nanshan knows the personalities of the bandits in the Haihe tribe too well. If there really were females, they would have robbed them long ago, and they are still waiting for the exchange market~
It is easier to expect them to be polite than to hope that the prey will fall into the trap.
"That's exactly what you said." The priest smiled. He knew the morals of the Haihe Tribe. "This time is different. This time the market is hosted by the Great Beast City. These females belong to the tribe outside our city, so the Great Beast City will not accept them."
"Big Beast City?" Nanshan felt that he had not heard of this place for a long time. "After so long, they are still so xenophobic."
Legend has it that the Big Beast City is the most powerful tribe in the forest, mountains and plains. Orcs there can live without fear of danger and will not go hungry or cold. It is the happiest place in the world. Countless orcs learned of this and flocked to the Big Beast City. They were willing to be slaves even if it meant being there.
But the Big Beast City did not accept anyone, including all females.
"Yeah, I don't know what it looks like inside." The priest had never entered that mysterious place. He only knew that the outer perimeter of the Big Beast City was piled high with mud and stones, and orc guards patrolled around it. If outsiders forced their way in, they would be ruthlessly killed by the orc guards.
The Big Beast City neither invades nor expands. It feels like it has always been so mysterious from when he was very young until now.
"If that's the case, we can probably compete fairly." The Great Beast City does not have any private relations with the tribes outside the city, so the Haihe Tribe probably wouldn't dare to force its way in.
The Haihe tribe was probably no match for the Big Beast City. Its predecessor was destroyed on a dark and windy night because it provoked the Big Beast City.
Otherwise, how could the bandits of the Haihe tribe dominate the nearby forests so quickly, and they had to pick up other people's spoils.
"Bring a few reliable warriors." Nanshan thought, "Bring salt and the usual things. Everyone wants females, so let's bring two more cans of salt."
