Marry a Wife In the Orc World - Chapter 19
After being busy for several days, Cheng Cheng fell asleep every day when he was tired, but he was quite insistent on taking a bath. Sometimes Tru and Batu don’t want to go to the wash. Cheng Cheng must take them there. Truly often waits until dark before he is willing to take a bath with him. Cheng Cheng doesn’t understand. When I used to live in the mountains and forests, I would wash whenever I wanted to.
In the past few days, the night was fast, and there was no moon. The three of them went to the river almost in the dark. There were also a few young females by the river who came to take a bath. When they met, they said hello to each other. Cheng Cheng said dissatisfied: “We should have come to take a shower earlier. It’s so dark and inconvenient.”
“Everyone comes here so late for the wash. How embarrassed when it’s dark.” A young female responded casually.
“What’s so embarrassing about taking a bath?” Cheng Cheng was even more puzzled.
“Hurry up and wash. Batuba is over.” Trullo called his son, not allowing him to swim to the other females to bathe. I sit on a big rock by the river and wash my hair. Batu had already gone swimming happily in the water. Cheng Cheng asked if he was okay, and sat down with him. Soon everyone washed up and left one after another.
“Only orcs will come to take a bath during the day, so how can a female show herself in front of everyone in broad daylight?” Truu suddenly preached.
“Everyone is a man, what are you afraid of?” Cheng Cheng said nonchalantly.
“Haha.” Trullo was made to laugh by his words, and Batu laughed unclearly. Cheng Cheng was stunned by the two of them laughing.
“A female can’t just show her body in front of an orc, otherwise, he will think that you like him and want to live with him.” Truth thought for a long time, and what he said made Cheng Cheng useless for a long time.
Here, the clothes that everyone wears are very simple. The female’s coat is usually wrapped around the body, the skirt is usually hanging on the knees, and the limbs are exposed. The orcs often don’t wear their shirts, and the skirts underneath only cover their buttocks and thighs. For Cheng Cheng, these two dresses felt similar.
“You’ll still pay attention in the future. But you wear enough clothes, it’s nothing.” Cheng Chengshang is still wearing his own long-sleeved T-shirt, and below is wearing the animal skin skirt that Tru has made for him like everyone else. Of course, he also wore the underwear he brought with him. He was barefoot like everyone else. The shoes were also put away. Now it’s not cold. It’s awkward to wear shoes alone. It’s just the top, Tru He didn’t have any extra time and fabrics to help him, so he had to wear his own. There was nothing in his dress that shouldn’t be exposed at all. After Truth said these few words, he didn’t explain anything. Cheng Cheng had experienced too many unthinkable things long ago, and he didn’t take this little thing into his mind. Anyway, he is not accustomed to being shirtless outside, he is also in a sports short suit when he is hottest, and he is afraid of what others will look at.
After taking a shower, Cheng Cheng drew a bamboo tube of water, and the three of them walked home. What Cheng Cheng missed most now were slippers. He regretted that he should have brought a pair of slippers. Now he has to walk back barefoot every time he finishes washing. Once I got home, my feet were already covered with dirt, and I had to do it with water every time. Fortunately, the bamboo tube he made was relatively large. Although the water was not enough to wash the feet, it was OK to do it with a dip, and then wipe it dry. To go to bed. If he had a basin, he would definitely wash his feet again. Tru and Batu didn’t care. They walked on the road, and when they got home, they rubbed their feet on a piece of animal skin, and they felt very clean.
Because of the slippers and basins, Cheng Cheng slept restlessly all night. He tried his best to remember how to make slippers and basins. He remembered that when he was a child, he used wooden basins and wooden pails in rural areas. It has gradually disappeared, but now there are still large wooden basins in rural homes, which can be used as boats in the water.
The next day, Cheng Cheng woke up in the yelling of the blue sky. It was raining outside and the sky was grey. Trull had already prepared breakfast. Seeing him awake, he hurriedly greeted everyone to come and eat.
Cheng Cheng found that the bamboo cup he was brushing his teeth was filled with water, and the large bamboo tube next to him was filled with water, which was used to wash his face. Lantian smiled with a weird face on one side to claim the credit.
Cheng Cheng buried his head and finished washing, slowly drying the towel, and without looking back, he asked the blue sky that had been spinning around him: “What do you want?”
This kid, as long as he thinks of something, he must get it. I don’t know what he is after. The last time it was a spoon, Cheng Cheng made two bamboo spoons for him, one large and one small, for eating and drinking soup. Of course he did a few more, Trubatu and himself have to use it. Those stainless steel cutlery are so eye-catching that I dare not use them now. Cheng Cheng himself now uses bamboo cups, bamboo bowls, and bamboo spoons. If the clothes on his body can be changed, he would like to wear the same clothes as everyone else. Thinking of this, he immediately planned to make some local clothes in his heart. The skins are not accumulating enough now, maybe only enough to make a larger animal skin skirt, and now so busy, Trullo doesn’t have time to help him make clothes.
“Help me make one like this.” Lan Tian coquettishly pulled Cheng Cheng’s arm and shook, and pointed to a thick bamboo tube that Cheng Cheng used to wash his face. Because there was no basin or bucket, he always fetched water. It uses bamboo tubes, which is to take thick bamboo, cut three or five knots, open the middle bamboo knot, and punch two small eyes on the top, put on a rope, and then you can carry it and carry it on its back. When Cheng Cheng saw that the bamboo here was extraordinarily strong, he took two sections and made a basin. Although the diameter of the basin was smaller than that of the washbasin used before, it was still usable. Even for washing feet, it was barely usable. Yesterday I tried it out in the evening. The washing of one foot and one foot was done with water. You can’t put your feet in the water completely. The feet are too long and the diameter of the basin is small, but it’s very convenient to wash your face or something.
Just now, Lantian saw Cheng Cheng pouring water into this basin to wash his face. It was the first time he saw a bamboo tube like this, but it worked very well. Everyone went directly to the river to wash their faces. In winter, they washed their faces. Most of them just scratched and rubbed the snow on the face a few times. With this thing, you can directly wash your face with water, and you can also boil hot water to wipe your body in winter. People here don’t bathe almost all winter, because it is too cold to bathe in the river.
“Yes, but you have to change things.” Cheng Cheng looked at the bamboo outside the house, and he could make two or three pots. However, he has already made two spoons, a bowl and a cup for Lantian for free. He usually makes food for him, but this very thick bamboo is not easy to find. He also searched the entire bamboo forest to find such one. The roots were originally prepared to make more pots for themselves. In addition to washing face and feet, they can also hold food.
“What do you want?” Lantian asked.
“Make a dress for me, it needs to be longer.” Cheng Cheng directly offered the price, and he also knew that there was a bargain.
“Okay.” Lantian readily agreed, and there are still some stocks of animal skins in his house. Lan Hua is an excellent orc, and he has hunted many large beasts. In addition to their daily use, they kept spares, and some were originally intended to be exchanged for other things during the exchange day.
Truu had been eavesdropping on their speech, and he smiled when he heard it. He thought Cheng Cheng would always be responsive to the blue sky. Although he doesn’t care, but they really don’t have enough animal skins. Winter is approaching, and Cheng Cheng does not yet have a winter coat that can keep out the cold.
Lan Lan quickly went home and took a piece of gray-yellow fur that was more than one meter long. Cheng Cheng took it and looked at it and was satisfied. Although this fur is not very good, it is big enough and it is a whole piece. It’s almost enough to be a quilt cover. Trullo also took a look and said, “It’s great. If Cheng Cheng has a few more pieces of this kind of animal skin, it would be great.” Lantian and Trulla made a few gestures at Cheng Cheng, and they were going to help him in a few days. Making clothes.
Lantian bit the corner of his mouth and said, “I still have two pieces of this kind in my house, but my brother is going to change things.” He also knows that such a good fur can be exchanged for many things. Generally speaking, in addition to making clothes and quilts, each such good product always keeps one or two spare parts, and then exchanges the others.
“It’s okay. It’s the exchange day in ten days. I can go and exchange with someone else at that time.” Cheng Cheng squeezed his bulging cheeks, feeling very good. Except for Truu, all the females here have good skin and good looks, but he is really the only adult female as cute as the blue sky. Cheng Cheng always has a caring attitude towards children. Besides, Lantian is very smart, and Bitlu and Batu can understand his ideas better, so Cheng Cheng likes him very much. Today I asked him to change things because I knew that with the abilities of both himself and Tru, he couldn’t hunt beasts, and he couldn’t get the best fur, and he couldn’t survive the winter. I plan to make something to exchange for the day, but there are only ten days left. I am afraid it will be too late, and they have to exchange some food and other items. It’s impossible to just exchange animal skins.
“Yes, you can make a few baskets. Many people already want them.” Lantian laughed. He didn’t know that the basket was actually made by Tru.
“Well. Work will start tonight, and we can make up three or five.” Truu also laughed. He only manages the weaving, but Cheng Cheng does the troublesome thing of breaking the bamboo into contempt. It would be really difficult to cut the whole bamboo into thin pieces if Cheng Cheng used to weave tentacles and dexterous fingers.
After several days of night work, I finally made up three baskets. They were making baskets. The patriarch sent a few females to learn, but everyone saw a thick bamboo for the first time. Become a thin contempt, surprised. Seeing that Truu’s fingers were flipping flexibly, he quickly woven a basket bottom with small eyes, and matched it with three slightly thick bamboo pieces, two horizontal and one vertical. The shape of a basket came out, and woven upwards. The frame, the seaming, and the handle are added to complete an exquisite small basket.
Several females were eager to try, but they were quickly pierced by contemptuous fingers. No matter the weaves were crooked and deformed. After learning it all night, no one learned, all of them hurt their fingers, and the tiny bamboo sticks stabbed them. In the skin, it hurts so badly that you have to get it out, otherwise it will be suppurative. Several females retreated and ordered a basket directly from Trou. The only thing left was the child, the blue sky, who had more perseverance. He came to study every night, and after five days, he finally managed to hold onto his roots, and slowly made up a basket that was not beautiful in shape but could be used. He yelled happily, Cheng Cheng and Tru were very happy, so that the blue sky can make up their own baskets and exchange things.
