For a moment, Kamni felt that he had been forgotten by his master.

He stared blankly at everything that happened, including the woman starting to cut a whole piece of cowhide with a dagger.

Kamnier is no stranger to making leather shoes.

Residents of the Novgorod region have known how to cut leather and sew them into leather shoes or boots since ancient times.

Even if there are no shortage of skilled locals, making a pair of suitable leather boots not only requires time and effort, but the price of finished leather boots is also expensive.

Many ordinary people do have ways to do it. For example, after catching a hare, cut off the head of the rabbit, and then peel off the entire leather to form a skin bag with only one opening. The foot wrap made of linen strips is wrapped around the ankle, and then put on this kind of leather, and finally tied with hemp rope, the so-called shoes.

Of course, even such improvised shoes are rare.

A large number of residents are accustomed to playing barefoot and staying in winter, because of the lack of awareness of the warmth of the feet and hands, they are even accustomed to frostbite.

This is the case for Kamnier, his hands were cold and puss in winter, he didn't think it was just a terrible thing, and he didn't understand its harm.

Now, Palla was holding the dagger that Rurik had handed over, and the sharp blade was swiped several times, and the cowhide was cut.

While cutting the leather into small pieces of the same size, she kept muttering in her heart.

"Rurik, is it really necessary? Maybe your servant can continue to be barefoot. The servant is the servant."

Supervising Rurik shook his head: "Because it is a servant. If my servant is all dirty, it will put me to shame."

"Oh, it's a pity that this fine cowhide can be made into a comfortable leather jacket."

"It doesn't matter, I can continue to buy cowhide. My servant pierced his foot and the wound became pus. Then I would lose a lot."

Palla shrugged helplessly, and continued to work.

The current success of Parla's work explains what is called "simple leather shoes".

That is a piece of leather that was cut into an approximate acute triangle. The leather was folded at two bottom corners, and a hole was drilled at the position of the shoe upper with a dagger point, and a thick hemp rope was inserted into it for permanent fastening.

The triangular waists also pressed against each other, and Parla quickly drilled a hole and put on the twine. This twine is the shoelace.

The first pair of shoes was ready, and Rurik was surprised by Parla's craftsmanship.

If judged only from the point of view of practicality, it seems that shoes with buffalo horns can basically ensure that the user's feet are not injured.

But it was nothing compared to his own shoes or even the shoes of the maid's head Lu Mia.

Who is wearing it first?

"Anna!" Rurik waved to the first little girl who was named.

Anna rushed over happily and simply sat directly on the wooden board, she knew what was going on.

"It seems that you all understand. Okay, would you wear shoes?" Rurik was planning to ask about "lacing shoes". For a while, he realized that there might be no relevant concepts in the ancient Slavs.

The girl raised her weak little head, with big questions in her big eyes.

Rurik looked down at the sitting little girl. Although her face was a bit dirty, she was really beautiful, or rather, had a distinctly delicate feeling. And her big dark blue eyes are really charming.

Leurix simply squatted down and almost fell to the ground.

Only at this time did he realize that the little girl in front of him could not only squat with Slavs, but even sit with ducks. And myself, this Viking's body is probably destined to be unable to squat perfectly.

He simply sat cross-legged and grabbed Anna's dirty left foot boldly.

Squeezing this girl's little feet, which are almost only bones, Rurik was really afraid that he would pinch her into a comminuted fracture. "You girls must be deficient in calcium, and all kinds of trace elements are deficient. Damn, there is almost no meat on your body, I don't want you to keep skinny." Put the words in your heart in your heart, Liu Rick grabbed the girl's feet and moved to the shoes Lisay.

Anna was at a loss for a moment, covering her small mouth.

She fully understands the meaning of hierarchy. In her opinion, the owner, Rurik, is probably the same level as the manor of the hometown? Do not! It should be even greater!

All the girls understand one thing, that is, the manor family has to kneel on the ground and listen carefully when they see the big leader of the Ross people.

The owner, Rurik, seems to be the next chief of Rose.

But how can Rurik's current behavior be as gentle as a brother?

Rurik tightened the hemp rope, and then skillfully tied the knot, Anna's foot was completely wrapped.

Very quickly, Anna had shoes on her feet.

Rurik stood up, patted the dust on the clothes, and Anna, who was sitting on the duck again, ordered: "You stand up and show it to your sister."

She obeyed the order, stood up obediently, and with a bright smile facing her fellow sisters jumping and jumping.

Other girls showed envious eyes and a desire to have their own shoes.

Caring for them? of course!

Rurik naturally felt that the future of these girls must be absolutely dependent on themselves, and it is very necessary to give them certain material and spiritual favors.

He put on shoes for each girl himself, and taught them how to tie their shoes.

Lumia was still standing by, she didn't do anything, just watched what happened with her eyes wide open.

She couldn't help holding the silver jewelry on her chest with her hands. What was the feeling of depression in her heart?

Lumia hadn't realized that the emotion she was suppressing now was being jealous.

She even hoped that the owner, Lurik, could squeeze her feet.

"Ah! Should it be over now?" Parla wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Rurik with a tired face.

"You are not over yet?"

"Huh? All girls have shoes. Not enough?"

"Of course." Rurik shook his head, and then pulled Kamnier who had been envious for a long time. "Make the last pair, and I will pay you a silver coin."

With money, there is motivation.

Compared to making soap, Palla feels that the reward for making these simple leather shoes is more touching.

Soon, Kamni finally had his own shoes.

Rurik didn't think his actions were great, but this Kamnier, he actually cried.

Kamnier's little hands wiped his tears, his feet were still tapping, feeling the comfort of his shoes.

He stood beside Rurik and said from the bottom of his heart: "Master, thank you...you can do anything you want me to..."

"Then be loyal to me." As he said, Rurik stroked the little boy who was half a head shorter than himself. Touch the head to kill? Kamni really cried more fiercely.

Kamni cried and said a lot of thankful words, which completely moved the girls.

For a while, in the long house, it seemed as if thankful for the scene of the meeting, making Rurik could only face them with a wry smile.

It seems that at the moment, I only need to give you some small favors. Well, I hope you will always be grateful for the rest of your life.

It was not too early for Rurik, and it was not a problem for the children to keep crying.

The tribe's dinner time is approaching, that is, when the fish market in the afternoon starts, the tribe on the shore buy the fishermen's catch. In order to ensure the freshness of the meat, they start cooking as soon as possible, or eat herring raw.

The herring is not big. Chop off the head of the fish, take out the internal organs as best as you can, and wash it with sea water directly into your mouth.

Such a simple and crude way of eating really tests the stomachs of children and the weak. According to Rurik, the most suitable fish for children is actually cod.

So, next, Rurik just wanted to quickly give the servant the first dinner.

"Servants!" Rurik clapped this hand and sternly stopped the servant's crying. "Are you all hungry? Come with me now and I will take you to dinner."

Speaking of the word "eat", which is spoken in Ancient Slavic by Lurik, the children really stopped crying in an instant, and the emotional transformation of boys and girls was shocking.

what? Are you really hungry!

For an instant, the children's eyes showed a certain urgent desire, no doubt, the desire to eat!

"Let's go!" Rurik waved his small hand, "I will take you to the place to eat."

With an order, the children completely turned into stalkers and followed closely behind their master. Tears cleaned their small faces, and the children's faces were white again, and now they are full of smiles.

Only Palla stayed in the longhouse and shouldered the heavy task of cleaning up the mess.

Parla also understood that Rurik's new maids were only leaving temporarily. Undoubtedly, the era of sleeping alone in the big long house is over forever.

Think for the good! Although there is a language barrier between these children for the time being, they may be able to speak stumbling Norse in winter.

I am afraid that Rurik has never regarded them as maids who can only serve people. Such a maid has a Lumia.

They will be turned into some tools to create wealth for the master.

As for the only little boy, it seems to be called Kamnier. That little boy, he probably wouldn't live here.

For Kamni, Rurik does have a unique arrangement.

When everyone has finished dinner, it's time to arrange a good place for Kamnier.

A group of children, under the leadership of Rurik, walked along the intricate roads of Roseburg, and they were not very eye-catching.

Because today, the entire tribe is in a carnival because of the return of the big leader. A large number of tribesmen flocked to the beach. From the landing near noon to the sun setting, the beach has already been used to distribute crops.

Otto ran to the priest's longhouse with his reliable men and asked the dereliction of the priest Xingshi. Even if the chief leader is not present, the remaining tribesmen are still orderly distributing supplies under the coordination of a group of older warriors participating in the Sorgon voyage.

It is this process that has slowed down based on the fact that a lot of materials are brought back.

However, for those families that did not send anyone to participate in the Sorgon voyage, according to the new rules of the tribe, the beautiful era of dividends is over.

In Sorgon this spring, many ethnic people are destined to not get their own dividends.

It can be said that this is due to the selfishness of human nature, and it can also be said that it is a major manifestation of the positive changes in the society of the Rus tribe.

It can even be said that the two "great actions" of the Rus tribe ended in the summer of 829 AD, which made the Rus basically bid farewell to tribal culture and entered the slave society.

In the new era, families lacking a strong male labor force are experiencing a sharp decline in their status among tribes.

Of course they can leave Roseburg in a small boat, thus giving up their identity as a Ross man forever. This is full of risks.

They can all stay, even if there is no one to take care of them, and being marginalized among the tribe, it is obviously a necessity.

Without the attention of Rurik, Fisk and his mother would have been completely marginalized and become a dispensable existence in the tribe.

Now Rurik can perceive the undercurrents hidden in invisible places, and the minds of the people in the Ross tribe have changed, and the once generous people have gradually disappeared.

In the afternoon, as usual, Rick did not do any "military training" for the one hundred and fifty subordinates that Rick did not give him. Those boys are generally trained with considerable strength at their young age.

Because he eats a lot of meat, even if he eats fish, Fisk, a bald head who was once thinner, has made a qualitative leap in his physical fitness in the past four months.

Once Fisk was a ruthless person among his peers, just like a bull charging, at first he really worried that this stunned boy would really break the shield wall alone.

Fisk's stomach hasn't been able to hold two pounds of cooked fish.

He took the leftover ball home with him, and waited for his mother, who had cleaned up the fish-boiler, to return home. At night, the fish-meat was the mother and child's dinner.

Rurik showed up at Fisk's house in a particularly abrupt manner with a group of new servants.

At this moment, Fisk's mother Broma, struggling to operate a simple loom.

Fisk himself is not idle, he is operating the spinning machine, that is, processing the flax bought from the merchant.

Although during this period, Broma earned some revenge from Rurik. She was not complacent, because life so far is still relatively difficult. With some considerable income, it is necessary to satisfy the appetite, that is, more income. Broma hopes to use it to repair her own house.

After all, the house has been in disrepair for a long time. The sunny days are fine, but the rain is likely to become frequent in autumn. As a result, not only the house becomes cold and the dripping water on the roof is extremely bad.

Besides, the house is no longer good, and it will be crushed by the snow on a certain snowy day.

The mother and son never thought that Rurik would suddenly set himself up without warning on such a critical day as today.

Rurik must have come with a certain purpose!

When Rurik came, Fisk sat up excitedly and ran directly to the door. Then he was startled by a child behind Rurik.

"Rurik, these people..."

"It's my new servant. Where's your mother?" Rurik asked.

"It's at home." After that, Fisk led Rurik in.

To Bromar~www.mtlnovel.com~, Rurik is a great savior in a complete sense!

"Ah! The great Odin blesser Rurik, do you need me to do anything?" Broma said humbly.

"I thought that if I gave you the money, you would fix the house well. Now it looks like..." Rurik looked around, not to mention, Fisk's home is still rudimentary.

Maybe they are used to this way of life? Or simply not wanting to make changes right away.

Rurik didn't want to wonder, he walked into Broma and said straightforwardly: "You go and gather those women again. You go to the fish market in the afternoon to buy some fish, and you immediately start cooking the fish."

"Ah?! Or more than a hundred children..." Broma was taken aback. If so, those put away pottery urns, and some other clean tableware, some were taken out. Although it is profitable, it is also relatively tiring.

Rurik shook his head: "I have some new servants, and there are not so many now. Woman, stop what you are doing! Do it for me now! I am in a good mood now. Today's situation is very special. When you are done, all of your women will be rewarded with a silver coin."
