Chapter 173 Gem Freedom
After breakfast, Attis immediately began to spin spider silk.
These spider silks are very thin, and when they are placed on a simple loom, one must be gentle, otherwise they will easily become tangled.
Xiaomo accompanied Artis, one sorted out spider silk and the other weaved cloth, and they worked in perfect harmony.
Artis didn't want Xiaomo to get involved, but Xiaomo liked to do it with him.
In just seven days, she and Artis had to complete the wedding dress.
However, she didn't know what style Artis wanted to make.
Perhaps, Artis himself doesn't understand.
Now she was just cooperating with Artis to make the fabrics and other decorations first.
As for what Artis would look like, Xiaomo couldn't guess.
It is indeed a bit too much to ask orcs from primitive society to make wedding dresses.
Xiaomo could not find any trace of embarrassment on Artis's face.
He has been working hard to select various raw materials.
Xiaomo didn't even know that he would prepare red spiders and use spider silk to weave cloth.
It took most of the day just to make the fabric.
By the afternoon, the two of them had only made one-third of the cloth.
Fabrics made from red spider silk are as soft, smooth and shiny as red silk.
“Xiao Mo, if you only make cloth here for a long time, you will get tired,” Artis said with a smile, “I will take you out to pick up some good things and come back later.”
"What good stuff?" Xiaomo now realized that she knew too little and Artis could always give her surprises.
"You'll know when you get there," Attis transformed into a beast, "Come on, get on my back, I'll take you there."
Artis has been so mysterious these past two days.
Xiaomo sat on Artis's back.
Attis took her and continued walking deeper into the Birdsong Stream.
The territory of the beast world is truly full of all kinds of wonderful things.
It was originally a place full of birdsong and flowers, but as it got farther and farther away from the Niaoming Gorge, it turned into a large Gobi desert with a lot of exposed land.
Sparse patches of grass are scattered randomly on the ground.
Xiaomo discovered something unusual on the ground.
This open space is full of colorful stones.
Gemstones, to be exact.
Xiaomo remembered that there were gems in some places on the grassland, but she didn't expect that they were everywhere here.
These colorful stones directly dazzled Su Xiaomo's eyes.
So many jades.
Su Xiaomo jumped off Artis's back and squatted on the ground to pick it up.
The stone is so beautiful, she has achieved gem freedom!
I can’t even pick them up anymore.
"Artis, come and see," Xiaomo held a piece of purple stone against the sun. The jade was crystal clear without a single crack. "This piece of jade is so big, and there is not a single impurity."
Xiaomo's father likes to collect stones, so she knows a little about jade.
If these stones were brought back to their original world, they would definitely be snatched up.
Such a flawless jade, without any cracks, can be sold for a lot of money.
Get rich!
Get rich!
Unfortunately, this is the world of beasts.
It doesn't matter who you sell it to.
Even if I sell it and get the money, I have nowhere to spend it.
There are no bright lights and wine, no luxury cars and handsome men, no tall buildings, and no top-notch luxury clothing and bags.
"This kind of jade is very abundant in the Gobi Desert, the grassland of the Lion Tribe," Artis said, "I want to pick up some lighter ones to decorate my clothes and headdress."
"You want to make a crown?" Xiaomo couldn't believe that Artis even thought of the decoration on the head. "If we keep doing this, a month won't be enough."
"As long as we work day and night, we will definitely be able to finish it," Artis said, "Now, two days have passed, and there are still five days left."
"How can we make these gemstones into ornaments without tools to grind them?" Su Xiaomo asked, looking at the jade in her hand. "It will take a long time even if we grind this stone into small beads."
In primitive society, the tools for carving jade were certainly not as advanced as those in modern society. It would be too difficult to process jade into small ornaments in just a few days.
"Xiaomo, you don't have to worry about that," Artis said with a smile, "I brought you here so that you can choose the stone you like so that I can use it for decoration."
"Really?" Xiaomo asked with a questioning smile, "I really like the stones here. I want to choose a lot of them."
"No problem," Artis said with a smile, "Just don't hurt your waist when you pick up the trash. If you get tired, just tell me and I'll pick it up for you."
"Ha, who would think picking up gems is tiring?" Xiaomo said with a smile, "I promise I won't be tired even if I pick them up until dark."
Her eyes were filled with gems of various colors, and Xiaomo started looking everywhere for the gems she liked.
It feels so good, like a mouse falling into a pile of rice.
There are too many gems, so Xiaomo only picks transparent ones that are relatively large in size and without any impurities.
Artis looked at Xiaomo lovingly, like a child.
Occasionally he would bend over to pick up gems of better quality, and wait for Xiaomo to come over and let her choose.
Soon, the animal skin bag was filled with gems.
The colorful gems, even without polishing, are crystal clear and make people love them.
Artis and Xiaomo took the gems back.
Then, he took Xiaomo to the beach and dug up a lot of shells.
Then, he took Xiaomo to the pond and picked many lotus stems.
Xiaomo became more and more confused.
What tools did Attis use to make these things into decorations?
In the evening, Xiaomo wanted to accompany Artis to continue making fabric for the wedding dress, but Artis insisted that she rest first.
It had been a busy day, and Artis didn't want Xiaomo to be tired any further.
Xiaomo could only stay in the tent obediently.
The animal skin mat beneath her was warm and soft, and Xiaomo soon fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw Artis' back, still busy making cloth.
Xiaomo stood up and saw a large piece of woven red spider silk material next to Artis.
"Arts, you didn't sleep all night?" Xiaomo asked puzzledly.
With so much fabric, it would take more than an hour or two to finish.
"I slept for a while," Artis consoled her with a smile, "My craftsmanship is very sophisticated now. It won't take me long to weave these cloths."
"Why are you working so hard?" Xiao Mo said distressedly, "Although the deadline is seven days, it will take more than a month to complete all five beast kings. It will be fine to finish it by then."
"That being said," Artis said, "since you have left the Lion Tribe, the size of the clothes may not be so suitable. I will at least cut the clothes out first, and then continue to make them when they are suitable."
Yeah, that's right.
Xiaomo had completely forgotten about this.
Lately, I’ve been so happy that my mind hasn’t been working very well.
"I'll weave with you," Su Xiaomo smiled and came closer to Artis, "I like weaving, and spider silk is beautiful, it's pleasing to the eyes."
Artis stopped her.
"Eat first, then work," Artis smiled, "You can't be hungry and tired at the same time."
