The cooking of salt was mostly done by the elderly or the women. Basically, it was enough as long as there was enough to eat. It was very difficult to communicate with the outside world. Everything was self-sufficient. Everything had to be done by oneself. This made Ah Feng very uncomfortable. Fortunately, after a few years of suffering, he had gradually gotten used to it.
The little girl was hanging on A Feng's neck. The two of them walked into the hut while talking and laughing. A Feng said loudly: "Ah Ye, I'm back. Look! This is the front leg of a buck-toothed boar from Uncle Ke. It's about thirty pounds. It's enough for us to eat for a few days. "
It was an old man who was sitting on a short stump with a leather bag in his hand. When he saw the two of them come in, his eyes flashed with joy. He coughed and said: "Well, A Feng, rest for a while. You must be tired."
The little girl slid down from A Feng and ran to the old man's side. She hugged the old man's arm and squatted down. She said happily: "Ah Ye, Aunt Qing sent me a piece of bull skin. I kept it in the cave. It's a big piece. Brother's armor only needs one more piece. In a few days, the leather armor will be completed. Hehe, Ah Ye, I can do it!" She looked at him with a 'praise me' expression. A Feng couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, little sister is really capable!"
A Feng praised first.
The old man gently touched the little girl's head and nodded: "Yes, our family's Yaoyao is the most capable!"
The little girl suddenly smiled.
The so-called leather armor was a protective equipment that every hunter needed. The leather armor here was special. It was completely handmade from various kinds of animal skins. The inner hard leather armor was made from the locally produced bull skin.
The crafting of the leather armor was very complicated. There were dozens of procedures. As early as two years ago, the grandfather had started making it. A large part of it was the little girl's work. The grandfather and granddaughter worked together until recently. It was almost completed. Because they were lacking a piece of bull skin, it was not completed yet.
This set of leather armor was specially prepared for A Feng to go hunting. Every hunter in Tiger Cliff Castle had to have a set of leather armor made by their family before they went hunting. This was a custom here. Once the leather armor was worn, it meant that A Feng could officially go hunting.
The leather armor used a total of three kinds of leather. The innermost layer was a special kind of soft leather. This kind of leather had countless soybean-sized bubbles inside. Not only was it unusually soft, it also had excellent cold resistance. The middle layer was the hard leather of a bull, and the outer layer was the skin of a fierce beast called the long-haired wild boa. The long-haired wild boa had hair that was more than a foot long. After tanning, it had great toughness. When making the leather armor, the long hairs on the skin were woven together to form a pattern. Then, a type of animal fat was applied to it. Not only was it warm, but it also had good protection.
A Feng's leather armor was personally designed by the old man and made together with his little granddaughter. The little girl's task was to weave the long hairs on the wild boa's skin.
The old man said: "Yaoyao, give this boar leg to … your Aunt Qing." After taking someone's bull skin, they had to show some appreciation. Even though the front leg of a buck-toothed wild boar was not worth mentioning, it was still a token of their appreciation. The old man had always been very careful in this aspect.
The little girl hesitated for a moment. Her face showed a trace of reluctance, but she still nodded: "Okay, Ah Ye, I'll bring it over now." Even though she was only six years old, lifting a 30 kg boar leg was effortless for her.
A Feng watched the little girl leave. After a moment of silence, he said: "Ah Ye, you have something to say to me?"
The old man nodded. He was very pleased with A Feng's cleverness. He said: "A Feng, you're not young anymore. You're sixteen this year. You've been training since you were six until now. Your foundation is not bad. You can take the next step and officially start practicing Lunli …"
A Feng was stunned. He had been here for almost three years. Even though he practiced martial arts, archery, and his body every day, this was the first time he had heard of Lunli. He asked: "Lunli, what is that?"
He had been trying to understand this world, trying to find out how big it was. However, this place was too isolated. It was impossible to get any information, especially since there were almost no outsiders. He could only see the nearby sky and not know what the outside world was like.
The only thing he could clearly understand was that this was definitely not his hometown from his previous life. Every night, seven moons would appear in the sky, each with different colors. From this, he could deduce that this was a foreign world. Other than that, he did not know much about anything else.
The old man said, "Lunli is a miraculous power, not everyone can cultivate it. You must have the talent and potential to cultivate it. When you were six years old, I had already tested you … you have the talent and potential to cultivate Lunli."
A Feng was stunned. He had always suspected that there were many things in this world that he did not know, but Lunli was still beyond his imagination. He said: "Does anyone in Tiger Cliff Castle have Lunli? Who is it? "
The old man said: "Yes, your parents have it. Other than them, no one else has it. Of course, the people here do not know that your parents have Lunli."
When A Feng's soul took over his body, he had not seen his parents in this world. He had only seen his grandfather and little sister, so he had no impression of them. He said: "Oh … is that so."
The old man said: "Don't underestimate Lunli. Once you practice it, not to mention normal people, even the barbarians in the mountains are no match for you."
The barbarians were also humans, but they were born with great strength. They were generally tall and strong, with the shortest being two meters tall. Their bodies were covered with thick black hair, and their physique was closer to that of wild beasts. In the mountains, they were the top hunters. Not only did they hunt wild beasts, they also hunted humans. They would even hunt barbarians from other barbarian tribes and eat them. They were the hunters' biggest enemy because they had a certain level of intelligence.
The old man said: "Wait a moment, I have something for you." He got up and walked into the inner room, which was also the cave. He lightly tapped on the stone wall and soon found a place. Using a dagger, he inserted it into a thin crack and pried it open. He took out something and then returned to the wooden house.
A Feng's eyes fell on the old man's hand and said: "Ah Ye, what is it?"
The old man gently stroked the item in his hand. After a while, he passed it to A Feng and said: "This is a seal, take a look."
A Feng was puzzled: "Seal?" He did not understand at all. He took the seal and examined it carefully.
It was a round object, about a finger thick and the size of a palm. It was black in color and mixed with countless silver lines. The lines were like the veins of a tree leaf, with different thicknesses. The fine lines were like hair, and there were traces of silver light. The thick lines were as thick as a toothpick, twisted and extended. The seal was very heavy. Although it was only the size of a palm, it weighed about seven or eight pounds.
A Feng said: "What a strange seal!"
The old man said: "Look at the silver lines, what does it look like?"
A Feng looked left and right. After a while, he said: "It looks like the veins of a tree leaf … No, it looks like lightning …" His mind flashed, and he remembered a picture he saw in his previous life. This was a picture of lightning, but the lightning was too dense.
