Shu Yue, who didn't get a reply for a long time, snorted in her heart: Huh, man!
"Okay, stop hugging me. I'm all sweaty. Let's go wash up." She pushed him away, and the animal skin skirt stuck to her sweaty body.
When the orc heard about taking a bath, his eyes lit up, "Okay, let's go now!"
Shu Yue glared at him angrily, "Don't even think about doing anything bad. If you dare to do anything wrong, you'll have to sleep outside the cave tonight!"
"No, I don't have any bad ideas..." Wen Te sighed in disappointment.
She really wanted to punch him because of his pitiful appearance. He was just pretending!
Fortunately, the orc kept his word and really took a bath and had a good sleep.
…
The next morning, Miao Xiaocui recovered and was in the square, teaching the tribesmen how to weave baskets.
Shu Yue and Wen Te naturally wanted to go and take a look.
Miao Xiaocui sat cross-legged on the altar. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, she began to prepare to weave baskets.
Everyone sitting below studying together didn't dare to say a word, for fear that their loud voices would drown out Miao Xiaocui's delicate voice.
Shu Yue also found a shadowy place to sit down and watched her movements carefully. She knew that she didn't have a good relationship with her, so it would be best for her to learn it in one go, otherwise she wouldn't be able to lower herself to ask for advice a second time.
Miao Xiaocui has been helping her family weave baskets to make a living since she was a child. She is very skilled at it. Because she is so skilled, she was particularly serious when she was taught the first time.
She took one step and everyone followed her. They weaved the baskets with such piety and concentration that those who didn't know might think they were performing some religious ceremony. In fact, they were just weaving baskets.
Shu Yue knew that she didn't have the ability to remember everything she saw, so she could only study hard and look carefully.
It took two hours to weave this basket. Not only did everyone's backs ache from sitting so hard, but the basket was also crooked and not as good as the bamboo basket in front of Miao Xiaocui.
The bamboo basket is about one meter high, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with the widest diameter being fifty centimeters.
Miao Xiaocui was very satisfied with her craftsmanship. When she looked at other people's crooked baskets, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.
She searched for Shu Yue in the crowd, wondering what shape of basket she could weave. However, there were too many people in the square, and her human eyes could not see clearly. After searching for a long time, she couldn't see her and had to give up.
…
Shu Yue looked at the basket she had woven with satisfaction. She didn't expect it to be successful at the first try. It seemed that she had quite a talent!
Wen Te glanced at the others and praised, "Yueyue, you are amazing! None of them can make anything as good as you!"
Shu Yue chuckled and shushed him with her hand, "Don't speak so loudly, it will make others feel unbalanced~"
The orc chuckled and said, "Okay."
"By the way, have you learned it?"
Wen Te nodded hesitantly. "I've basically read it. I'll try to write one when I get back."
"Okay." There's no harm in having one more person know how.
…
Their voices were drowned out by the noise. Everyone was focusing on their first work and competing with their neighboring tribesmen to see who did worse.
Of course, those who are worse off will inevitably be ridiculed.
Miao Xiaocui on the stage smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, it's great that you can do it this well for the first time. Practice makes perfect, you'll get it right after practicing a few times."
"Cui, you are so amazing. The bamboo baskets you weave are so beautiful!" Everyone was amazed at Miao Xiaocui's bamboo baskets.
She smiled and said, "If you practice more, you can weave the same as me."
A female agreed and said, "Cui is right. I will make more baskets and try to learn how to weave them!"
Then she ordered her male companions to find her some more bamboos, as if she was determined to weave a bamboo basket.
