"Why did you buy a bow and arrow? Can you use it?"
Bai Yi was a little embarrassed and changed the subject.
"Ah? No, I just think you need a weapon to defend yourself, right? Besides, we don't have any now, so just learn it. It's quite dangerous to go out of the city. Once you learn it, you can defend yourself." Xiyue laughed.
Bai Yi carried the things on his back, took them in, and then took the lead to walk back.
Xiyue followed behind and pursed her lips. This guy seemed a little angry.
"Don't even think about hunting. I'll find whatever you want." Bai Yi suddenly turned around and said seriously.
"Okay." Xiyue replied simply.
Bai Yi's eyes lit up a bit when he saw Xi Yue agreeing so readily, and he suddenly felt very excited. This was a signal that Xi Yue was telling him that she was starting to rely on him.
Bai Yi was very happy, but in order to avoid others gossiping, he still kept a long distance and walked back first. The city was still relatively safe.
The two quickly returned to the village and stopped some distance away from the village.
"Um, thank you." Xiyue said with a smile.
Bai Yi's face instantly darkened.
"It's just out of politeness." Xiyue knew that he was angry again and quickly explained, smiling at him in a flattering way.
"Tell me what you want to buy next time, and I can bring it back for you. It's too heavy for you to carry." Bai Yi said seriously.
But he was still very happy in his heart. He fell more and more in love with the quirky Xiyue.
"Okay~" Xiyue agreed quickly.
Baiyi saw that no one was there in private, so he put down his things and walked around without going back to the village directly. It seemed that he was also trying to avoid suspicion.
The rest of the way was not far, so Xiyue hurried back home. When she got home, Xiyue took a piece of meat and half a bag of grain and went to Bai Ye's home.
"Aunt Bai."
"Xiyue, why did you go out again? Did you earn light crystals again?"
Bai Ye still looked at Xiyue with some admiration. After all, women relied on selling some handicrafts to make some money, and most of them relied on the men to get extra rewards from gathering and hunting harvests.
It's a pity that Xiyue's handicrafts are not very good. She doesn't know how to weave baskets or baskets. The most she can do is make a DIY puppet, or weave yarn, but it's a pity that she doesn't have it in this world.
Xiyue is very surprised that there is no shortage of animal hair that can be used for spinning in this world, because there are many long-haired animals, including sheep that she was familiar with in her previous life.
But I don’t know why, this world only focuses on the silk spun by plants and insects and beasts.
Finally, after thinking about it, I think it has something to do with the temperature. Although it will be very cold when it rains in winter, an animal skin jacket is enough when it doesn't rain.
There are indeed many grades and types of ice silk. It has replaced cotton thread and is lighter and more comfortable to wear.
"Aunt Bai, thank you for taking care of me. These animal meats are returned to you. The extra meat is my thanks to you. After all, I have used a lot of things from your house." Xiyue smiled and gave the things to Bai Ye.
"This? You're a stubborn girl. It's just a piece of animal meat.
That's okay, these aunts will accept it. If you need anything in the future, you can come to my aunt to borrow it."
Bai Ye is actually not very old, but at the age of 60, he could be called grandma in his previous life, but here humans have a life span of 150 years.
Bai Ye's husband and second son have both gone out to work. The eldest son is working as a guard in the inner city, and the youngest son is taking care of her at home. It's a big family.
The Qi family, also known as Bai Ye, has three sons in total. The eldest son and the second son both have three children. The younger son currently only has one child who is a girl.
So this is also a big family of 15 people.
But they live relatively scattered. Because of the increase in human lifespan, not all people living in the same tree may live in the same family.
The couple likes to be quiet, so they live in a tree hole by themselves, which is at the bottom, so it is more convenient for them to come and go with Xiyue.
Xiyue returned home after delivering the things, packed her things, and looked at the dreamy world around her. The corners of her mouth turned up in a very good mood.
She likes the fairy tale world here.
"Sister, what did you sell to earn so many light crystals?"
Xiyue said calmly: "I just made a condiment to try to sell. By the way, I bought some animal meat. I will cook the meat for you to try in the evening and you will know."
"Sister, why did you buy such expensive fabric?" Xiqing looked at Xiyue in surprise, feeling a little unhappy for a moment.
Although Xiyue earned the light crystal, it can't be wasted like this.
How can they afford such fine fabrics?
Xiyue looked at the best fabric and said, "I'll use it. I'll tell you when I finish it."
Let’s take the next two pieces and use them to make underwear.”
Although Xiqing didn't agree with Xiyue's waste of money, she just bought a pound of things and couldn't return them. Besides, there was some fabric for her, so she happily took her own piece of fabric and went back to the house.
Xiyue sighed silently.
"Xiyue~"
"Brother?"
Xi Qing heard Xi Nan's voice and ran down the stairs.
Xiyue was also shocked. In short, she broke up the family because of the trouble, and Qiaohua also made troubles, but she didn't get any benefits.
And that cheap parent has been gone for so long, and now he’s back!
"Dad, Mom~ You guys are back, I'm worried to death." Xiqing ran over and threw herself into Naru's arms.
Naru looked a little tired, but her eyes were bright, and she could tell that there should be some good news for them to go out this time.
Naru touched Xi Qing's head lovingly and said, "You haven't been hungry these days, have you?"
"No, how can we be so lazy? You see, the eldest sister also earned light crystals and bought me a good piece of fabric." Xi Qing did not hide Xiyue's contribution and gave the fabric to Naru.
Naru frowned and looked at Xiyue with disapproval. Then she saw the better piece on the table at the door, and her face became a little gloomy.
"Xiyue." Xihe smiled gently, looking at Xiyue who was not unhappy but very happy.
Xiyue just saw the affection between Naru and her daughter, and instantly thought of her own mother. She lost her mother's love early in her last life, and she didn't expect that she would never get it again in her next life.
Seeing the closeness of their family, she felt like she was isolated from others.
Looking at Xixin who was looking at him gently, Xinan was still carrying him, but he was in good spirits and there was blood on his face. It seemed that the injury should have been treated well.
"Father, dad~" Xiyue quickly changed her words.
Xihe nodded, looked at the tree and nodded, appreciating: "Xiyue, you have worked hard. Thanks to you, the family chose this tree well."
Xiyue smiled, and then Xiqing quickly pulled the two of them back to the main tree hole.
Xi Qing chattered about this and that, the family was talking in the house, Xi Yue looked at the sky, and then started a fire to cook.
She bought wheat, rice and some cooking materials, so she steamed the rice and stewed the piece of animal meat that Bai Yi had just given her into broth.
Xihe is still a patient, so it would be good to drink some broth.
After a while, Naru came out of the main tree hole, looked at Xiyue and said in a gentle tone: "Xiyue, thank you for your hard work."
Perhaps after hearing Xiqing talk about Xiyue's hard work these past few days, Naru finally gave her a good look.
Xiyue smiled: "It's okay, I should do it." Although she only had a brief contact with Naru, she already understood that this cheap mother did not want to see her, and the two of them had no relationship with each other as mother and daughter.
