"She is my woman, for life and for life. I am her man, all my life. No matter what happens, I will never let go of his hand. "
Cho squeezed his hand and swore.
The father and son did not say anything else. The raw skin had been shaved, and the pure alkali that took ten copper coins to exchange for was melted with warm water in the autumn. He then carefully cleaned the hide with a brush. A fine worker delivers good goods.
Although the tribe also had the method of making alkali from ashes, because of the craftsmanship problems, the coarse alkali would harm the sheen of the fur, so he still bought it from the merchant at a high price.
Qiu hopes to produce fur that matches Bai Xiaoshen's beautiful long hair.
As the saying goes, a good horse should be saddled, and a good general should be equipped with a sword. He would make a leather suit for her woman that would match her.
Thinking of Bai Xiaosjing's beautiful jewel-like hair, Qiu was so overjoyed that she was about to fly away.
Inside the hut, Bai Xiaosjing finally fell asleep. The violence and forcefulness that had plagued her for the rest of her life had reappeared in her dreams.
"She remembered that when she was young, her father and grandmother would always hit her mother, but her mother would always say that." Forget it, forget it. He is already his woman, how can he still go to heaven? "
She remembers how her mother forced her to climb onto the bed and sleep next to her husband on the night of her wedding. " This was what a man wanted all his life. You are his wife, and this is your duty and responsibility. Do you want to push your husband onto another woman's bed? "
Then there was the blood, the blood that filled the sky, and the heart-wrenching pain.
"The mother consoled him." It's no big deal, he couldn't help it. That's normal. What normal man could endure for so long? I tell you that no one can stand it so long as a sick man and a man with a bad heart. "When a woman is in trouble, remember not to make a fuss. It will only make people look down on her.
She remembered how, at the age of four, she had first had a chance to be close to her father. She crawled along her father's knee, trying to sit on his thigh, but the alcoholic man kicked her over. Bai Xiaosjing hit the chest of drawers. Her ribs were broken, and her mother had taken care of her for a whole month, but she didn't even dare to mention it to her father.
"If you are a man, you will have your own temper. Just a little girl, kicking her to death would have been fine. " Gran scoffed.
Ever since then, she had never had any contact with her father, nor did she have any kind of intimate memory of her father and daughter.
From then on, Bai Xiaosheng would feel pain in her ribs whenever she tensed up, and then vomit.
The fragrance of the food woke Bai Xiaosjing from her dream. She placed the food by her bedside and extended a hand that held a sealed box. Guess what it is? "
He stretched out his hand to help her up, but Bai Xiaoshen had already stood up.
Qiu looked at her nimble movements in surprise. Although the fine whip didn't injure one's muscles and bones, it caused too much pain on one's skin and flesh. Very few people would be able to get up safely after eating the thin whip the next day.
At least he admitted he couldn't.
Ye Zichen looked at the food he brought. It was a piece of roasted crocodile spine. Bai Xiaosjing, who was on the verge of going crazy from hunger, did not have the mood to play any tricks on him. "I don't know. You covered it." She answered honestly.
"Qiu was a little disappointed as he placed the food in front of her." "You are so boring. Other women love these little games."
It was obvious that Qiu had spent quite a bit of time trying to curry favor with her.
The fruit that he took out as a treasure was a few wild fruits that didn't have much of an appearance. Bai Xiaosjing picked one up and put it into her mouth. It was sour and sweet, like a plum tree. The familiar smell made her happy, so she pushed the rest back to Autumn.
Qiu was very surprised. What's the matter, you don't like it? "
"Because I like it, so I'll let you have some." Bai Xiaosjing said indifferently. Then she also pushed the spine back to Qiu. " Give these to the children, and if you ask me, just eat whatever you want. "
"Autumn looked at her for a long time without speaking, then he took her in his arms." "My God, other women are always crying and clamoring for the best. How can you just give up what belongs to you?"
He ran his hand over her long hair and smiled. " My little darling, little fool. "
"He blushed, and it looked like those two words had been taught to him by someone else." You have to know, the Lord of the Waters has more than a hundred pounds on his back, unless you want to kill the kids with it, so don't let them keep eating. "Believe me, in the future, you and them will both eat well and be full. I will work hard."
He let go of her and watched with satisfaction as she ate with her thin, shell-like teeth.
In his eyes, this elegant yet fast eating elephant was more beautiful than any painting. He hoped that he could admire it forever, but could he? A sense of unease rose in Qiu's heart.
"No matter what it is in the future, even if it's a mammoth, as long as you want to eat it, I will do my best to hunt it down for you." He swore.
Bai Xiaosjing did not answer him. She was too preoccupied with her food, and soon enough, a huge chunk of her spine was completely devoured.
Cho let the string take away all the cutlery. Women who had no children in the tribe had a very low status, that is, no children and a dead husband had a lower status than an animal, and anyone could make her do anything they wanted.
Bai Xiaosjing gazed at the thin, weak, and tenacious back. Only after she had disappeared outside the door did she open her mouth. "Today, I'm going to the river to fish."
She had used the summoning in the early hours of the morning to summon bullets, and the next time was at eleven o'clock at noon. She wanted to find a place with no people to continue summoning her. There were too many things that the Level 2 Embroidery Cloth could bring out, but it was not as easy to hide.
Although fishing belongs to the category of hunting, due to its particularity, it is a gender-neutral job. "I'll go with you. If necessary, I can protect you."
He picked up the shotgun and tightly gripped Bai Xiaosjing's hand, not giving her the chance to explain herself.
Because of the hunt last night, the tribe was extremely busy. In addition to harvesting them, women also have to make meat jerky from the meat of crocodiles that cannot be eaten yet, or the mosquitoes will give birth to maggots within a few hours, ruining the whole meat.
The smoke from insect repellent and barbecue filled the morning with the smell of herbs.
Looking at these women who did not stop for a moment, Bai Xiaosheng could not help but feel a throbbing in her heart as she thought about their slave-like lives. Mother, Grandma, Husband, Father … All of them flashed through her mind.
Qiuyi pulled her through the crowd of women, completely disregarding her thoughts. Bai Xiaoshen also did not want to refute or resist.
After what happened last night, she had already completely understood this man. He would not pity a woman. He would use violence without mercy when he felt it was necessary or insulted.
Since they were not on the same level of civilized people, there was no need for them to waste their breath on them.
So she turned her attention to the labor around her, to the fusion of this primitive power and beauty, which was destined not to remain too beautiful in her life. Not some kind of complaint that was destined to be useless.
