Chapter 284 He Wants to Steal My Shoes...
Su Qianqian searched for a long time and finally found a set of suitable clothes for Miantian to change into.
Considering that he was injured, she did not plan to let Miantian wear a stuffy and non-breathable animal skin coat. It was such a hot day, and he was already wrapped in gauze and bandages. If he covered his wound with animal skin, it would cause infection.
So Su Qianqian specifically looked for a set of linen shirt and trousers with tones similar to animal skins.
Although this is not the animal skin that orcs often wear, it looks similar to animal skin from a distance.
Su Qianqian was not afraid of others' suspicions. Anyway, when she had time in the future, she would definitely develop the textile industry after planting large quantities of ramie and cotton.
By then, everyone will have at least one light, breathable coarse linen coat and a warm cotton coat.
After being dragged around for a long time and dressed up, the originally gloomy boy looked completely new. He stood tall and straight, coldly standing there, like a polished jade, so beautiful that he was almost enchanting.
Su Qianqian looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
I have to say that what Shi Yuan said was very right. Mian Tian was so handsome, and his eyebrows, eyes and facial features were the most beautiful she had ever seen. Even though the youthfulness on his face had not yet fully developed, he would definitely be a stunningly handsome man when he grew up!
Regardless of Mian Tian's expression at the moment, Su Qianqian happily pulled Mian Tian out of the house, as if she wanted to show her beautiful newly dressed figurine to everyone.
"Wow, Brother Xiaomian is so handsome!"
Facing Mian Tian standing in front of everyone, Xiao Jiu was the first to praise him.
Hearing the sound, Mian Tian looked towards her, but his gaze fell directly on the straw sandals in her arms, and his eyes darkened almost invisibly.
Xiaojiu, who originally had a smile on his face, couldn't help but shudder. He quickly hugged the straw sandals in his arms and hid behind Su Qianqian.
I don't know why, but this person's eyes seemed to want to snatch the straw sandals that Sister Qianqian gave her...
This won’t do. This is her most precious thing!
Looking at Xiaojiu's inexplicable behavior, Su Qianqian tilted her head in surprise. Doesn't this child like Miantian very much? Why did Miantian scare her with just one look?
However, when Su Qianqian looked up in confusion, Mian Tian quickly looked away, his black eyes calm and expressionless.
It's strange, Miantian doesn't look fierce at all...
Su Qianqian shook her head helplessly. Just then, Shi Yuan came running over with a large roll of deerskin. "Su Mu, I brought the deerskin you wanted. What do you want to do with it?"
"You'll know soon." Su Qianqian smiled without saying a word, took the deerskin handed to her, then took out a pair of scissors from the storage ring and cut out the shapes of each part, such as the sole and upper.
When everyone saw it, they suddenly realized: "So you want to make shoes with deerskin!"
Su Qianqian smiled and nodded: "Yes, deerskin is tough, extensible, strong and wear-resistant, making it most suitable for making boots."
Especially after tanning, deerskin becomes softer, wear-resistant and waterproof.
Since I have nothing to do anyway, and I have already taught you how to make straw sandals, I might as well teach you how to make leather boots with animal skins.
Su Qianqian picked up the tendon thread and bone needle, threaded them together, and then used needle and thread to sew the cut deerskin parts together.
This step is not difficult, and can even be said to be simpler than making straw sandals, but it does require threading the needle. It is necessary to ensure the density and uniformity of the stitches during sewing to ensure the quality and beauty of the shoes.
Soon, a pair of deerskin boots was completed by Su Qianqian.
All that is left is to add shoelaces and insoles, both of which are readily available in the tribe. The shoelaces are replaced with rubbed tendon threads, and the insoles are made of ready-made leather, which is not only soft and comfortable but also wear-resistant.
As soon as the pair of deerskin boots were made, Shi Yuan's eyes were almost instantly glued to them.
"Oh my God! These deerskin boots are so beautiful!" He praised them generously. The deerskin boots, whether in structure or material, were simply beautiful in his heart. He begged for them without any hesitation: "Sumu, you have such a skillful hand. How about giving me this pair of deerskin boots?"
Su Qianqian: "This..."
Seeing her hesitate, Shi Yuan leaned over and pleaded eagerly: "Sumu, I know you are the best. You are so kind and beautiful, please give me these deerskin boots. I will go hunting in the mountains every day and catch lots of wild deer and beasts back for you! Please~"
Su Qianqian: "..."
She seemed to understand why Nan Wu sometimes disliked Shi Yuan so much...
She held her forehead helplessly: "...If you want it, take it."
"Great--"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan was so excited that he almost jumped three feet high, and rushed over using his hands and feet to grab the pair of exquisite deerskin boots.
However, the other hand was one step faster than him.
Shi Yuan came up empty-handed.
He raised his head and glared at Mian Tian opposite him: "What are you doing, kid? This is what Su Mu promised to give me. If you want it, do it yourself!"
Mian Tian glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
"What's your attitude, kid?"
Shi Yuan was so angry that he rushed forward and tried to snatch the deerskin boots from Mian Tian's hand. Unexpectedly, Mian Tian just raised his hand lightly and easily pinned Shi Yuan, who was rushing towards him with bared fangs and claws, to the ground, leaving him motionless.
Shi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and struggled hard: "No, where do you get so much strength from!?"
Shi Yuan, who was in the shape of a bear and was considered to be one of the strongest orcs, was pinned to the ground by Mian Tian with just one hand and could not move at all.
Su Qianqian also looked over in confusion. Mian Tian held the deerskin boots in one hand and held down Shi Yuan with the other. His finger bones were long and slender, and the part of his wrist exposed outside his sleeve did not look thick either. Against the clean linen long sleeves, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a pair of delicate hands of a scholar holding a pen.
His movements in pressing down on Shi Yuan seemed elegant and nonchalant, but Shi Yuan, who was over two meters tall and had strong muscles all over his body, struggled and moved around under his palms, but did not move at all for a long time.
"Xiao Mian, I didn't expect you to be so strong..."
"...Hmm." Mian Tian lowered his eyes and hummed softly. His gaze fell on the deerskin boots in his arms. He seemed to be struggling with his words. After a while, he spoke: "I think it's unfair. If you want the boots, you have to win with your strength. You can't just give them away."
"No, what's wrong with you? Su Mu promised to give it to me, why should I ask for it..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Yuan was pressed into the mud by the sudden increase in force on his body, "Mmmmm... let go, let go... Mmmmm..."
Amidst Shi Yuan's repeated sobs, Su Qianqian carefully considered the matter and nodded in agreement. "Alright, how about we have a competition? We'll go up the mountain later, and whoever catches the most prey will get these deerskin boots. How do you say that?"
“…Okay.” Mian Tian let go of his hand contentedly.
"You brat!" Shi Yuan, with a mouthful of mud on his face, raised his head and glared angrily at Mian Tian in front of him. "Just wait, I'm definitely going to win!"
