After a few more days, most of the hemp soaked in the stream had rotted away, leaving only fibers that could be processed.

The efficiency of the simple spinning wheel and loom was not very high, but fortunately there were only more than 300 people in the tribe, so even if everyone needed one, the demand was not too great, so Wu Yue let everyone slowly process and weave the cloth.

At the same time, he also developed a method of making hemp rope, twisting hemp fibers into thin ropes, and then twisting multiple strands of thin ropes into thicker ropes. Although not as strong and durable as modern chemical fiber ropes, it was still pretty good.

With the hemp rope, he naturally made a bridle. After bribing a horse with a handful of beans, he put the bridle on the horse and tried to ride it.

The horse's back is very slippery without a saddle, especially when the horse is running. The moving muscles on the back always make Wu Yue sit unsteadily. He was so scared that he quickly stopped the horse and never dared to ride it again.

For a newbie like him, he still has to make a saddle first.

Reins gradually became popular in the tribe. After all, they were really convenient. One could easily control the horse with just one hand holding the reins, leaving the other hand free to hold weapons or eat or drink.

The success of the spinning wheel and loom gave Wu Yue a great boost of confidence in mechanical manufacturing. He spent another two days developing a saddle. Now he could occasionally ride the most docile horse out of the tribe.

Of course, having learned from his previous experience, he was still wary of the old horse witch. Fortunately, he had the communication pill as a golden finger. Before riding, he would communicate with the horses to make sure that he did not have any smell that they disliked, and that they were in good physical condition before he dared to ride.

However, this old guy has been quite well-behaved these days. He basically stayed in the tent obediently. At most, he would come out and watch from a distance when Wu Yue was making something.

It would be better if the old man didn't cause trouble, so Wu Yue ignored him and continued doing what he was supposed to do.

For example, today, it’s time to remove Tao Hua’s stitches.

After all, he had no medical experience at all, and for a moment he really didn't know where to start. Fortunately, there was Xia, who had strong hands-on skills.

There was a small box of manicure set in Wu Yue's space, which was just right for use at this time. Xia first used a nail clipper to cut the suture thread, and then used an eyebrow tweezer as tweezers to remove the thread end.

Many days have passed since the suture. While the wound is healing, the stitches have also grown on the wound to some extent. When removing them, they pull on the skin and flesh, which is inevitably painful.

Tao Hua's eyes were red from the pain, but she was not at all like the weak girl leaning in Ma Tian's arms when she was in the Malaysian tribe. Instead, she had a determined look on her face and gritted her teeth, refusing to say a word.

Wu Yue felt pity when he saw this, but he had to remove the thread. It was not a good thing to have foreign objects growing in the skin. It would be very dangerous if it got infected or inflamed.

Fortunately, there weren't many stitches needed, and Xia, who was very skillful, managed to remove it quickly.

The torn wound began to bleed again. Xia cleaned it for her and applied herbal medicine to treat external injuries.

"Thank you, great witch, thank you, messenger of God." Tao Hua said this in the local language. The primitive people's vocabulary was not large, and she now had no problem with basic conversation.

Wu Yue touched his nose with a guilty conscience. In fact, he also wanted to learn the local language. Of course, it was not for communication, but because he wanted to avoid being conspicuous when he went to other tribes to trade or look for supplies in the future.

The Sharp Tooth Tribe worships him as a messenger of God because he is beneficial to the Sharp Tooth Tribe, but if he goes to other tribes, he can no longer communicate casually or display his personal space at will. He is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. These powers are too magical and will inevitably arouse jealousy.

If it was just jealousy, it would be fine, but what I am afraid of is that someone wants to steal his power, and if they fail, they will capture him and use him as a human translator and human warehouse.

Even if he doesn't want to, but he grew up in modern society and has never suffered any physical hardship since he was a child. If he is beaten a few times, he will definitely obey...

It was quite comfortable to be a messenger of God in the Sharp Tooth Tribe, and he didn't want to be a slave in another tribe.

He secretly made up his mind to study hard. That night, he told Xiao, who had just returned from hunting, about this matter and asked him to teach him the local language strictly.

Hearing his concerns, Xiao's eyes darkened: "I will protect you."

Wu Yue rolled his eyes at him. "Stop talking nonsense. If I stayed in the Sharp Fang Tribe all my life, built walls, and equipped myself with iron weapons, it would be fine. But if I go out, I'll only take three or five people with me at most. Even if you can fight ten people alone, can you really fight a hundred? If a group of them gang up on us, we'll be wiped out."

Xiao was silent for a moment, and when he looked up again, he suddenly reached out and hugged Wu Yue.

Wu Yue was stunned, feeling everyone's eyes on him, his face flushed and he struggled, thinking, "Are you kidding me? I told you not to do this in public!"

There was no ambiguity in Xiao's embrace. He hugged Wu Yue tightly and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry."

Wu Yue was speechless. He pushed the man away and said earnestly, "What are you saying sorry for? What have you done to me? You are outnumbered, you know? One person can't defeat many people by fighting alone. This is common sense."

Xiao still didn't look happy.

Wu Yue coaxed him again: "You are already very impressive. You can become a leader at such a young age. In our world, people of your age usually still rely on their families for support! And you have a sharp Tang sword, and your fighting power is super strong. I guess no one in this world can defeat you!"

After these words, the young leader's mood finally improved. He came over and kissed Wu Yue hard.

Wu Yue glared at him and endured it silently.

It was time to eat and drink. In addition to the food they were supposed to eat tonight, everyone was given some extra meat and vegetables.

With horses, bows and arrows, and new members, the hunting team's harvest has increased a lot compared to before. The speed of making sausages and storing the prey can hardly keep up with the speed of the hunting team bringing back the prey. So, according to Wu Yue's suggestion, the people of the Sharp Tooth Tribe now generally eat two meals, one in the evening and one in the morning.

In the evenings, everyone ate together by the campfire in the center of the tribe, listening to Wu Yue's lectures. Breakfast was whatever you wanted: you could cook by the campfire, build a small fire near your tent, or even dry and store your food if you didn't want to eat it all.

Today, Wu Yue and Xiao were given a pair of large ox kidneys. I don’t know if there are such rumors in this world that what you eat will replenish what you gain. Anyway, the man who handed the food to Wu Yue had a nasty smile on his face.

Wu Yue was craving for stir-fried pork kidney, so he didn't care how others laughed at him and shamelessly put the kidney into the space.

After distributing the things, it was time to go back to the house to sleep. Xiao followed him step by step to wash up, and then followed him into the house.

As soon as he reached the door, the little fox baby who was sleeping on the kang in the room jumped out and threw himself straight into Wu Yue's arms. Wu Yue had bathed the little thing several times and taught it to defecate in designated places. At this time, there was no smell or insects on its body, and it was very clean.

It likes Wu Yue, but is not very interested in Xiao. It bares its teeth and breathes at Xiao when it lies in Wu Yue's arms.

Wu Yue couldn't help but chuckle and turned around to say, "It called you a stupid biped."

Xiao's face turned cold, and he glared at the little fox fiercely and said, "Tell it that I will peel off its skin tomorrow."

"It's so hot, why do you need fox fur?" Wu Yue would not help him scare his own baby. He carried the little fox into the house and put it on the kang. The little thing then lay down at his feet and fell asleep obediently.

Xiao closed the door, followed, and lay down on the kang with confidence: "I'm saving it for the ice and snow season."

"It's still early in the snow season, why are you in such a hurry?" Wu Yue moved in to make room for him, but still complained, "Your house is already built, and it has everything. Why do you have to squeeze in with me?"

It used to be a bit cold at night, so it was nice to have a human heater like this. But the weather was getting hotter day by day, and these days he was attacked from both sides by Xiao and the baby, and he often woke up in a sweat in the morning.

Xiao reached out to pull him into his arms, but his hand was pushed away and he got nothing.

His voice echoed slowly in the darkness: "You despise me... I knew that everything you said to me just now was a lie."

Humph, pretending to be pitiful.

Wu Yue was too lazy to pay attention to him and closed his eyes facing the wall.

Xiao pretended to be pitiful for a long time but Wu Yue didn't turn around to kiss and hug him, so he stopped pretending, stretched out his arms to hug Wu Yue, moved over, and hugged him tightly.

Wu Yue struggled, but his thin arms and legs were no match for Xiao's grip. After struggling for a while, he was exhausted and out of breath, but the person behind him didn't move at all.

"Please let me go, it's really too hot..." Knowing that he couldn't break free, Wu Yue finally compromised and begged.

Xiao was distracted by the voice he made, and was afraid that something might happen if he got too close, so he obediently moved back, but his arm was still on the other person.

"Yue, I think it's fine for me to live here. Why don't we free up the space next door for something else?" Xiao pinched Wu Yue's arm. Not getting much flesh, he frowned secretly, but continued, "It's getting hot today. Those who do manual work can't stay in the sun all the time. Why don't they all go next door and do it?"

The house next door is spacious and has two windows, which makes it ventilated and bright. It is really suitable for those who do manual work. Raw materials and finished products can be stacked in a dry and cool corner for easy access.

Wu Yue thought it was feasible, but he still teased him: "Okay, let them do the handicrafts there during the day, and when they go back to sleep at night, you can go back and sleep. It's just a matter of laying out a few pieces of fur."

Hearing him say this, Xiao became unhappy again, and lowered his head and bit Wu Yue's shoulder.

He did control the force, but Wu Yue, who was only wearing a T-shirt, still shuddered in pain. He bent backwards hard, and the unsuspecting Xiao was hit in the abdomen and groaned.

Wu Yue didn't want to pay attention to him, after all, he deserved it, but Xiao rarely showed an expression of pain, and then he suppressed his humming several times.

"Are you okay?" Wu Yue finally compromised and turned over to ask him.

"You hit me too hard, my stomach hurts a little..." Xiao said weakly.

The stomach is a relatively soft part of the human body, and being hit unexpectedly can be quite dangerous. Wu Yue frowned and reached out to feel it. "Where did you get hit? Does it hurt? Do you want to go find Xia to check it out?"

Xiao raised the corners of his mouth in the darkness and continued to pretend: "It just hurts a little from being bumped. It should be fine after rubbing it."

Wu Yue believed it and reached out to help rub his wound under Xiao's instructions.

"A little lower, a little lower, a little lower..."

Wu Yue suddenly came to his senses, his face flushed, and he was about to pull his hand back.

But the one who was faster than him was Xiao. Xiao grabbed his hand and said pitifully: "You've hurt me like this, you have to take responsibility!"

Be responsible, don’t take the blame!

Wu Yue tried to pull his hand back, but he was no match for Xiao's strength, and in the end he could only let him grab his hand and rub it.
