Chapter 27 If You Don’t Understand, Don’t Talk Nonsense

Others looked at the straw sandals with great interest, and it was obvious that they were very interested, but there was only one pair. After looking at them, they reluctantly returned them to Shen Xiaoxiao. Others wanted to talk but stopped, but Ah Xiang didn't have so many concerns, probably because of the friendship they had just cut reeds together.

"Xiaoxiao, can you teach us how to make straw sandals?" Ah Xiang asked with a smile, and looked at the others again, jokingly saying, "They are just embarrassed to ask." You can tell how eager they are by looking at their eyes, but they are hesitant because of Xiaoxiao's identity.

But she didn't have this concern. She felt that Xiaoxiao was not that kind of person. If she really wanted to harm the tribe, why would she tell them these good things to make their tribe better?

Although Xiaoxiao was also a wandering savage, she was better than other wandering savages.

Other females looked at her with a sneer and said, "Can you teach us?" Since someone had started it, they didn't think it was a big deal to ask again.

Moreover, they are all older, and their views on things are not as extreme as those of young people. Although they don't like Shen Xiaoxiao's identity as a wandering savage, they won't show it so obviously.

Putting aside Shen Xiaoxiao's identity as a wandering savage, they still have a good impression of her.

"Sure." Shen Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile. This is an opportunity to integrate into them, and she will naturally not miss it. Although she is now independent from Xiao Yan, she still lives in the tribe. If she can't handle the relationship with the people in the tribe well, it will be very inconvenient.

"There are a few reeds left, why don't we go and cut some reeds together." Shen Xiaoxiao suggested, and no one else objected. Several people went to cut reeds with laughter.

After cutting the reeds back, Shen Xiaoxiao led them to beat the reeds. The reeds they cut were half dry and not wet, which saved the step of getting wet and damp. Then she began to teach them to weave. When she learned from others before, she used straw weaving. The reeds weaved were another kind called reed boots. What she is weaving now is a cool straw sandal. Weaving a bottom and then weaving two straps to fix it is fine.

She first asked them to twist two reeds into a rope, "Step on this end with your foot." Shen Xiaoxiao said as she stepped on one end of the reed with her foot and began to twist it with both hands. Soon she had twisted a large section, and others followed her example and began to twist ropes.

After twisting the ropes she needed, Shen Xiaoxiao took out a long rope, folded it in half and then folded it in half again to form four ropes, then tied the ends with ropes, left a hole, placed the four ropes in place, and stepped on the tied end with her foot. This was easier to do with tools, but now she had nothing and could only step on it with her foot.

Use the remaining ropes on the stick to weave, press and pick, and press the weaved ropes back with your hands after weaving a row, and then pull the four ropes, trying to weave them as densely as possible.

After weaving a little rope, she connected it with two reeds, twisting and weaving, and carefully explained it. After weaving one-third, she left an ear on both sides, and finally tied the rope and it could be worn.

Seeing this, the others also took out the braided ropes and began to braid according to Shen Xiaoxiao's steps. Perhaps they had never done such delicate work before, so they were a little stumbling at the beginning, but gradually got the hang of it.

After Shen Xiaoxiao finished braiding a sole, she looked at their progress and saw that some people's braids were loose. She hurriedly said, "Auntie Ahua, this one needs to be tighter, otherwise it can't be worn." As she spoke, she stepped forward and pulled back the rope she had woven with force, "If it's too loose, it will not only be uncomfortable to wear, but also get in the way." They had never worn these before, and if they got in the way, they would definitely not want to wear them.

"Auntie Axiang, leave more room at the back, and put the rope out, otherwise it won't cover your feet when you wear it."

"There should be a loop on both sides of this place to pass the rope."

Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that they had no problems, so she started to braid the second one. She finished a pair of shoes, and the others also braided two soles. Her shoes had ropes on them, so she used Axiang's shoes to demonstrate to everyone.

She used a rope to put the ear reserved in the front, and then put on the ears on both sides, leaving two on each side. The two positions were relatively close, so she used a rope to put them together, pulled them back and crossed them on the ears on both sides, and finally passed the rope through the ears reserved at the beginning, so that a pair of sandals was ready. The sandals made in this way are a bit like flip-flops.

Others also learned from Shen Xiaoxiao to tie the ropes. When they put on the sandals, they were all smiling and kept walking around to try on the new shoes.

"Xiaoxiao, you are really smart." Ah Xiang praised her generously, and others also praised her, and they were less repulsive to her in their hearts.

After everyone had enough, they continued to weave. They wanted to make two pairs for their males and cubs, so that their feet would not hurt when they went out.

After they finished weaving the reeds, they went to cut reeds. When others came back, they saw that they were working hard, and they didn't even care about what prey they brought back.

"What are you doing?" A group of people who came back from hunting asked in confusion. What are they doing with this unwanted grass? And they are so enthusiastic. They don't believe it if you say it's useless.

The female who was making straw sandals raised her head and said, "You are back. Wait, we will be done soon." Then she lowered her head and went back to making straw sandals.

The males looked at each other with puzzled eyes and said, "Don't mess with this useless grass for now. Let's deal with the prey together."

At this time, the females who went to pick also came back. They felt strange when they saw a group of people gathered there, so they stepped forward and saw that they were all holding useless straws and weaving something. Their eyes were full of confusion. What were they doing? What are you doing, what are you doing with this grass that no one wants?

Soon the females who were wearing straw sandals stopped and looked at them in surprise, "I'll show you something good."

"What good stuff? Could it be the grass you have that no one wants? What are you doing with all this grass together?"

The females who had been wearing straw sandals all day were not happy, and immediately said, "What do you know about grass that no one wants? These are straw sandals. They are worn on the feet. When walking, the feet will not be so dirty, and they are small." Even if a stone hits your feet, it won’t hurt.”

Several females recounted their experiences wearing straw sandals, and some even walked around on them, "Did you see that, this grass is not useless."

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Axiang said displeased. They had been busy all day but were told that these things were useless. Naturally, they would not be happy.

And it’s not that the straw sandals are useless, they rejected it before they understood it. Once they understand it, they won’t say such things.

Other females who made straw sandals also agreed, asking them to try it before saying whether it is good or not. If they still say it is good after trying it, it means they have no vision.
