Chapter 33
Just as he was getting excited, a black shadow ran into the cafeteria like a whirlwind and rushed towards Yu Sui.
Qi reacted quickly and picked up Yu Sui, dodging the black shadow. With a loud bang, the black shadow fell face down to the ground.
The sound was painful to hear, and Yu Sui couldn't help but gasp.
After carefully observing the other person's clothes, he asked suspiciously: "Uncle Robert? What are you..."
Rob got up from the ground covered in dust. This cafeteria was just a temporary solution, and the ground was not compacted or laid with cement.
Fortunately, Uncle Robert just looked a little embarrassed and was not injured.
His eyes were glowing green strangely. If this hadn't been in the tribe's cafeteria, the surrounding werewolves would have jumped up and beaten him.
Rob danced with excitement, looking up at Yu Sui who was being held aloft, and said, "Chief Bangbo and I tried it with a charcoal pencil, and it really can be used for writing! It's just too thin. Come down and see if we can make it stronger!"
Unexpectedly, his reaction was so strong. Yu Sui looked at the food on the table and asked, "It's not that urgent, uncle, you don't want to eat?"
"Ellie, just bring it to me when you go home. Let's go!" Rob said anxiously.
Well, Aunt Ellie works in the cafeteria anyway.
Uncle Robert had already run out like a whirlwind. It was hard to imagine that such short legs could run so fast.
Yu Sui quickly jumped out of Qi's arms and was about to run out with him.
Qi took his arm and said, "I'll go with you."
"No, no, Brother Qi, you guys can go train after dinner and don't worry about me. And Xiaochu, go play with Xiaohua after dinner!"
Seeing that Uncle Robert had run far away, Yu Sui hurriedly gave him a few instructions and left in a hurry.
After being rejected outright, Qi was stunned for a moment, frowning.
Seeing his ugly expression, Vanilla couldn't help but roll her eyes again.
"If you want to go, go quickly. Xu and I will take them to training this afternoon."
Qi returned to the table, and just when everyone thought he was angry, he picked up the remaining oranges and put them into the cloth bag, then walked towards the dwarf.
As I strode out of the cafeteria, I heard a low laugh behind me.
His face darkened and he quickened his pace.
Yu Sui easily caught up with Uncle Robert and went with him to the tent where Chief Bangbo was.
Several dwarves were gathered around the piece of straw paper, writing and drawing on it with great enthusiasm, their movements as gentle as if they were treating a treasure.
But even so, he was sharp enough to notice the holes scratched on the straw paper. After all, the quality was so poor and the charcoal pencil was so hard that it was inevitable no matter how careful he was.
"Hurry, Xiaoyu is here!" A bearded man saw him and shouted.
Yu Sui received an even warmer welcome than the last time he made bricks. Looking at the tattered straw paper he made, he felt very embarrassed.
Chief Bangbo couldn't wait to pick up the straw paper and asked, "Can this be made into a better writing material? I can write like this, but it's too easy to damage."
He planned to use this for going to the toilet first, so he did it very casually. He had always talked about it on paper before, and this was his first time putting it into practice. Privately, he thought he was already very good.
He hesitated and pointed at the straw paper, thought for a moment, and finally spoke out.
"I originally planned to use this, um, after going to the toilet. It can replace leaves and branches. Otherwise, going to the toilet in winter is too uncomfortable..."
Several dwarves found this reason even more difficult to accept.
The new thing they were so excited about, something they even thought could replace the parchment scroll and set off the biggest craze in the history of civilization... was made by this cub for going to the toilet?
Several people looked at the piece of straw paper with doubt in their hearts. Needless to say, the more they looked at it, the more it seemed suitable for the purpose Xiao Yu Sui mentioned.
Seeing how frustrated they were, Yu Sui quickly added, "Of course, if you improve, you can definitely use it to write! And the materials are easy to find. Hay, bark, and bamboo can all be used to make paper!"
"Really?" The dwarves cheered up and came up to him and asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true, but my skills are limited and I can't make many auxiliary tools." Yu Sui scratched his head in embarrassment.
Chief Bombur pounded his chest and said, "What tool can we not make? As long as you explain its general structure, there is nothing we dwarves cannot make!"
Yu Sui definitely believed this, otherwise he wouldn't come to the dwarves for help whenever he thought of something.
He tilted his head and thought for a while. In addition to the porous flat screen paper making machine, in order to produce paper on a large scale, he also needed to make a movable curtain bed paper mold.
He drew the rough appearance of these tools in his memory on the ground for the dwarves.
As for other papermaking processes, such as collecting and chopping raw materials, washing, rinsing and pounding them into a paste, they are not too difficult. With the improvement of tools, the quality of paper will definitely be greatly improved.
These tools were not difficult to make. After the dwarves saw the structural diagram, two of them stood up and asked Chief Bombur for help, and then they started to make them without stopping.
It takes longer to make paper from tree bark and bamboo, and Yu Sui couldn't remember which type of bark made the most effective paper, so he needed to experiment. After discussing it, everyone decided to use reeds to make paper first.
In fact, many paper mills use reeds to make paper. Reed fibers are long and of good quality. If the process is proper, the paper produced will be delicate and soft.
Moreover, compared with other materials, reeds are easier to obtain, have strong reproduction ability, and are not dependent on the forest environment.
Previously, Yu Sui had not collected many reeds in order to conduct experiments first. At this moment, their top priority was to go to the river to harvest reeds.
At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Yu Sui: "Let's go, I'll go with you."
He quickly opened his eyes wide and looked back. It turned out that it was Qi who had been standing behind him at some point. He couldn't see his expression clearly because of the sunlight. He could only see his bronze muscles bulging in the sunlight. It was obvious that he was a good worker.
Yu Sui quietly sucked his saliva and cursed himself for being a face lover.
But when will he be able to have those strong abdominal muscles? We are both snow werewolves, so why does he have to dress up as a weakling with congenital deficiencies?
This was so unfair, he was almost crying with envy.
Doesn't Qi have to take the warriors to training in the afternoon? He remembered that Uncle Heiyan had already started letting Qi lead the warriors to hunt and train alone, as if he was training him to be the next generation of patriarch.
Looking back, Qi's attitude towards him has gradually softened since he came to the other world. Now he takes care of him in every way and has delayed his own work for him more than once.
Although Lu and his mother were good friends, they shouldn't be so attentive to him, he thought narcissistically, could it be that...
Thinking about the deep feelings between the protagonists in the original novel, Yu Sui suddenly felt that he had become thicker-skinned after traveling through time.
Thinking about other people's attempts to match him and Qi, he suddenly felt a headache. He had never thought of breaking up the official pairing.
He hesitated a little, "That's not right, Brother Qi, don't you still need to train? I can go with Uncle Robert and the others. Reeds don't sink anyway."
Qi's deep, dark eyes seemed to be dipped in ink. After staring at Yu Sui for a while, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"I can collect it faster if I go with you."
With the strength of an adult snow werewolf and the sharpness of its claws, Yu Sui had no doubt about the truth of this statement.
He no longer hesitated and stood up, planning to go to the river with Qi to collect reeds.
Qi squatted down and motioned him to get on his back.
"Let me carry you, it will be faster this way."
The last time I was on his back was when we were transporting coal to the Tu tribe, but that time Qi was in beast form. It always felt weird to change to human form.
He couldn't help but look around, and saw that everyone was looking at them as if it was a matter of course, and no one showed any abnormality.
He didn't know that the night he and Qi got drunk had been widely spread among the dwarves, and now it was just a small matter to them.
Maybe I'm the only one with dirty thoughts? Yu Sui gritted his teeth and lay on Qi's back.
Orcs have a weak sense of moral restraint. The original owner pursued Qi, Lu agreed, and other people tried to bring them together, but Qi just didn't like him.
Their moral bottom line is that adult orcs and cubs cannot officially form a pair.
So you really can't blame him for being distracted. Who can be immune to someone who completely matches their imagination of their partner? Yu Sui performed a handstand for him for ten minutes.
Qi carried Yu Sui on his back and walked steadily towards the river. The sun warmed Yu Sui's body, and the cool autumn breeze brushed his cheeks, which was really comfortable.
It was comfortable not having to walk by myself, but I didn't know where to put my hands, and I accidentally touched Qi's strong chest muscles.
In the end, he had no choice but to strangle Qi's neck. After all, the snow werewolf was so strong that it would not be a big deal if he strangled him.
A low, muffled laugh came from his ears, and Yu Sui's face couldn't help but feel slightly hot. He buried his head in Qi's back with a desperate look.
It is already midway through autumn, and the reeds have turned from green to yellow, gathering in large patches along the riverbank.
Qi placed Yu Sui on a rock and transformed himself into a giant snow wolf. He raised his giant claws, revealing their sharp tips, and swung them down from the bottom of the reeds.
In an instant, it was as if a huge sickle swept across, and large areas of reeds fell to the ground.
The efficiency was really amazing. Yu Sui stood on the stone and clapped wildly like a seal.
A smile flashed in the eyes of the huge snow wolf. It continued to wave its claws, knocking down many reeds, and then it turned into a human form in a flash.
Yu Sui didn't know whether he should cover his eyes as a male, but due to his sexual orientation he should. Unfortunately, his moral sense was defeated by his lust.
They slowly wrapped the area around the animal skins, used tough vines to tie up the reeds, and piled them on the ground.
Yu Sui hurried forward to help, sorted the reeds and placed them on the vines on the ground, and then Qi tied them up after piling them into a big pile.
When the collection was almost done, Qi carried all the bundles of reeds on his back. This time, Yu Sui didn't even need his invitation. He climbed to the highest point of the reed pile flexibly, sat cross-legged on it, and looked at the scenery below comfortably.
Just a few thousand kilograms of reeds, plus he himself didn't have much either, it must be a small matter for Qi, Yu Sui thought unscrupulously.
Bring more back this time so you don't have to collect more in a short time. These reeds are enough, and even if there is some damage, you can still make a lot of paper.
Sitting on top of the reeds, except that the reed stems pricked his butt, everything else was fine. He kicked his legs comfortably.
The tribesmen passing by greeted them, and Yu Sui waved at them like an emperor.
The journey back always felt faster than the journey there. After the parade ended, Yu Sui jumped off reluctantly.
The collected reeds are spread out evenly, exposed to sunlight, and can be put into use after drying.
The dwarves were so excited that Yu Sui thought they would definitely not let him go home, so he decided to stay here.
Several dwarves were studying tools for making paper, while the others stopped making weapons and put down their work to gather around to discuss.
Yu Sui knew nothing about this, so he just picked up a big knife and played with it.
Even a werewolf cub like him with congenital deficiencies can wield this knife, but it is said that if a human mercenary wants to use this knife, he must have intermediate or higher strength, otherwise he cannot lift it.
Otherwise, humans would regard this place as a forbidden area. Whether it is orcs or elves, they are all living dads.
In the original novel, there is an area that is considered a forbidden area by humans and various races, and that is Dragon Island.
However, it was only mentioned briefly, and the protagonist and the bottom were not allowed to encounter the dragon clan. After all, the main plot of the original work is that the protagonist and the bottom fall in love and travel around the continent.
I don’t know if he will be lucky enough to see the dragon clan in the future, but legend has it that they have very bad tempers, so forget it.
Although orcs are resistant to magic and have thick skin and can withstand attacks, they cannot defeat dragons because they are able to cast forbidden spells.
After getting acquainted with the dwarves, Yu Sui had seen and touched all the weapons they made. As expected of weapons made by dwarves, the high-level weapons were so exquisite that they looked like works of art.
Especially the magic wands used by magicians, which are inlaid with gorgeous gems and magic cores, and look very expensive when placed there.
If a magician came here, he would definitely go crazy for them, but unfortunately he met Yu Sui, so he could only appreciate the appearance.
Wandering around aimlessly, Qi handed him the oranges in the cloth bag.
The big, thin-skinned orange was rich in juice. He and Qi shared a big orange and ate it, which was very thirst-quenching.
The reeds were turned over and over several times, and soon dried out under the scorching sun and the dry autumn wind.
Yu Sui picked up a big knife and started chopping the reeds. He was lazy and didn't break them up before, so it was better to chop them into pieces.
If only he had remembered the chemical formula for soaking reeds. He only remembered that lime could be used, but the effect was not as good.
If there is a skilled alchemist to help, the pulp making step will be more perfect and the paper produced will naturally be finer.
The idle dwarves came out to help, but even they and Yu Sui combined were no match for him, and the big knife in his hand had a residual shadow.
The crushed reeds are coated with lime and after a few days they can be washed with water to separate the impurities.
Dusting off the dust on his hands, Yu Sui looked at the sky. He had been busy for most of the day, and the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.
This was the second time that Ellie and the other female dwarves had brought back food. They hadn't eaten the food they brought for Robert and his companions at noon, so it was a good opportunity for them to have a meal together.
When they came to deliver lunch at noon, they saw Yu Sui and Qi there, so they brought them some lunch as well.
The moonlight was bright, the dwarves lit a bonfire, and dozens of kerosene lamps were lit in the tent.
They have no night vision and need lighting to move around at night.
