After Cang Wu left, ye Xi was depressed for three days in the stone house.
Three days later.
Ye Xi recovered his spirits and began to work again with great enthusiasm.
Although hunting becomes difficult in winter and the construction of the city wall cannot be started, nothing can be done.
On the stone platform beside the fireplace, ye Xi put down the charcoal pen, held up the parchment which had just been written in his hand, looked at the fire carefully for a while, and then walked to the door.
The salty birds and leopards at the gate kept an eye on the movement of the house. When they heard the sound of footsteps, they opened the heavy green mulberry stone gate from the outside without waiting for ye Xi to push the door himself.
"Creak -"
the fresh and cold air came in with snowflakes as big as goose feather.
The weather was cold. The two soldiers at the gate were covered with thick snow, and their eyebrows were covered with snow-white frost. At first glance, they looked like two snowmen.
However, the soldiers are strong, and they still stand as straight as pine trees in such cold weather, without any discomfort.
Ye Xi sighed at the bottom of his heart.
The Witches of all tribes have such soldiers to guard. Even in the coldest month of winter, these more than 100 soldiers have to be on duty outside the door all the time to endure the wind, snow and cold.
In the coldest month, they won''t be as relaxed as they are now.
"Master Xiwu!"
The two soldiers at the gate saluted respectfully.
Ye Xi pondered for a moment and said to them, "saltbird, you are responsible for calling pheasants and tigress. Leopard, you are responsible for going to take care of Luojia, Chen, pan, luanggang The four men are called at once, and I have something to tell them to do. "
"Yes
The salty birds and leopards are singing in unison.
Before long, pheasants came to Ye Xi''s stone house, wrapped in heavy animal skins and trampling knee deep snow.
Along the way, his fur coat was covered with snow.
Ye Xi led six people across the corridor to the fireplace.
The fire was blazing in the fireplace, the wood crackled, and the heat soon melted the snow from their fur coats and turned it into water.
Tigress took off her heavy fur coat and said foolishly, "Lord Xiwu, you are so warm here!"
Ye Xi turned to sit on a stone chair, shook his head and said with a smile,
"this is not the same as in the rainy season in our hometown, when we were trapped by water and couldn''t get into the forest to cut firewood, but it''s different here. If you don''t have enough firewood, you can go into the back mountain to cut down trees, so save nothing but firewood
Tigress grinned and rubbed her hands full of frostbite: "tigress is stupid!"
The pheasant sighed They were used to saving before. "
"What rainy season? What kind of water can trap people
He is a Ke tribe people, now a Xia tribe people. They used to live in the same place as here, only four seasons, never seen any rainy season.
"It''s also very cold in the rainy season, especially when the cold wave comes. We can''t cut firewood because we are trapped by water, so we can only store a large amount of dry firewood in advance. It''s really difficult..."
Ye Xi said half way, waved his hand and said: "well, don''t say this, this time I''m looking for you to do something. Don''t stand up and sit at random."
Ye Xi''s stone house is very large and spacious. Ten low stone chairs are placed on the snow-white blanket, which is convenient for the clansmen to discuss business.
The six men did not know what ye Xi wanted them to do. After a respectful salute, they sat down on the stone chair excitedly.
Ye Xi looked at the two women,
"pheasant eye and Tigress, you two are the highest level of fur garment making in Xi City. I want you to take other women to make something for the soldiers guarding the gate."
Tigress said excitedly, "you are welcome to tell me!"
Ye Xi: "this thing can block the lower half of the face, so that the guard''s face will not suffer from cold, probably like this..."
The primitive people here already knew how to make hats out of animal skins, and how to make them bigger to cover their ears. But they didn''t know how to make masks. Their faces were all exposed.
Now the gatekeepers can stand it, but if it gets colder, their faces will be cracked with cold.
So what ye Xi is going to teach them is how to make cold masks.
Parchment was precious, and ye Xi drew roughly on the smooth stone bricks with charcoal.
"That''s it. Use a piece of cloth to sew two thin strips on both sides of it. These two thin strips can let the mask hang in the ear without falling off."
The pheasant gazed directly at Ye Xi''s drawing on the ground, reached out his hand and subconsciously drew it behind his ear. Then he said in surprise, "I understand. It''s still possible to do this!"
Tigress soon understood, and excitedly said to the pheasant, "it''s wonderful. You can fix the cloth on your face with two thin ribbons."
Both women are skillful in their hands. After understanding the appearance of the mask, they soon know how to do it.Ye Xi nodded slightly: "the production method is relatively simple, the more troublesome part is the cloth part, which can not only prevent cold but also ventilate. This will trouble you to carefully select the place where the fur is stored."
Tigress and pheasant eyes said in unison, "yes!"
"Master Xiwu, you are so kind to the people. You even consider such a small matter for them!"
In fact, the soldiers are strong, rough skin and thick flesh. Even if their faces are frozen, they will not freeze to death.
However, as a wizard, Lord Xiwu still spent such an effort. Although the cold mask looks simple, it is not easy to really think of it. It must have taken a lot of time
Luan Gang, pan and other four carved tribes look at each other.
From a small town to a big one, there are so many city masters in Xi City who love their people, and there are such leaders in every tribe. What else should they worry about? Rest assured to follow Ye Xi!
Their hearts were as warm as their bodies.
Ye Xi saw their expression and knew that they wanted to make a mistake. He couldn''t cry or laugh and said, "it''s just a piece of work. I didn''t spend much time."
Several people still do not believe, but dare not refute Ye Xi''s words.
Pan said with a smile: "although the master Xiwu didn''t pay much attention, the soldiers who guarded the gate didn''t have to be afraid of frostbite any more. It was more than that! When the weather gets colder, the people of our hunting team can also take this cold mask into the forest to cut firewood and hunt. We don''t have to hide in the stone house because of the cold and have nothing to do
Luan Gang quickly agreed: "yes, this cold mask will be of great use!"
Ye Xi shook his head and jokingly said, "you are exaggerating. All right, don''t talk about these gossips. I have important things for you to do."
He picked up the parchment from the stone platform and handed it to Luojia.
Luo Jia was surprised and quickly stood up and took it with both hands.
There are usually maps or sorcerer patterns on the parchment, which are very precious. How could master Xi give this to him?
Ye Xi: "open it and have a look."
He took a look at Ye Xi and carefully unfolded the scroll.
On the top of it, you can see a lot of strange characters with a brush!
Suddenly, he was dizzy and couldn''t believe his eyes. He had never seen so many words!
Sitting next to the armor, Chen and Luan Gang put their heads together.
Morning trembling to stretch out his hand, want to touch the parchment, but dare not, incredibly widened his eyes: "this, this is the witch text?"
Every sorcery script contains energy, but there are so many witchcraft texts on this parchment, which is too
Ye Xi shook his head: "no, this is not a witch''s text, but another kind of writing."
"Another text?"
Six people were taken aback.
It surprised them more than the fact that the scroll was full of sorcery.
In addition to Wuwen, how could there be another kind of writing on this land? And so complex, neat, rhythmic beauty?
Finally, he reached out his hand and caressed one of the characters: "master Xiwu, what''s on this parchment?"
"Code."
Ye Xi said with a smile, "the code of our Xi City."
