Chapter 103: Clothes

The second thing was actually a set of clothes.

It wasn't an animal hide skirt like before, but a whole set, with long pants, inner lining, overcoat, animal fur hat, and animal hide boots—a five-piece set from head to toe.

"This animal fur hat is made of the finest fur from the top layer of Frostwolf, and two sections of Snow-Mane fangs are cut for decoration; the inner lining and long pants are woven from Demon Sheep white mane, and the softest and finest part is picked; the overcoat uses Snow-Mane hide, and this layer of fur paved on the outside is also carefully selected by us;

These black animal hide boots, we soaked the second layer of Snow-Mane hide in snow water for a full ten-plus days, and then baked it for a few days, before we got such a small piece of soft hide. Leader, touch the material and try it on, see if it's comfortable!"

As Mu Dong introduced while unfolding, Xia Hong, who had finished looking at the five-piece set, didn't speak for a long time. After taking the clothes, he didn't put them on, just lowered his head and pondered.

Some time ago, when Mu Dong asked him to help forge iron needles, he had already guessed that he was going to weave something, but he never expected that Mu Dong would spend so much effort to make such a set of clothes.

And this chair he was sitting on, it was clearly also going to take effort.

If it was said that he could barely accept that chair,

Then he really felt that something was wrong with this set of clothes.

Recently, hunting had been fruitful, and the camp's cold beast hides were naturally becoming more and more, but it couldn't stand that there were too many places to use them.

Leather bags for going out to pick; animal hide scrolls used for camp records; water skins for carrying water when going out hunting; quivers for arrows; leather blankets for sleeping; all kinds of leather products, etc...

Of course, the biggest use of animal hides at present was still to make clothes for everyone in the camp. Although animal hide skirts had been fully popularized, some children and women were not as cold-resistant as men, so if there were extra animal hides, they were basically still used for them.

The clothes Mu Dong made with great pains, and the chair.

If he said he didn't like them, that would be a lie.

Originally, he thought he was used to sitting on the ground, but the moment he truly sat on the soft chair, Xia Hong knew how comfortable this feeling of his butt being steady was.

Moreover, he had endured the days of his crotch leaking wind for a long time.

Some time ago, seeing the complete set of clothes on Yang and Li, God knew how envious he was.

Now, such a whole set of clothes was placed in front of him. Xia Hong was naturally very happy in his heart, but the problem was that for the current camp, these two things were really a bit too luxurious.

Conditions had improved, and it wasn't wrong to pay attention to enjoyment, but this step was too big, which wouldn't work either. Now everyone else was still wearing animal hide skirts, and he, the Leader, wearing such a set of clothes, was really a bit eye-catching.

"You spent quite a bit of effort on these two things, right?"

Xia Hong thought for a while, but still didn't blame him, just inquired first.

Mu Dong clearly noticed the change in Xia Hong's mood, and his expression suddenly became a bit uneasy. He first turned to look at Xia Chuan before answering:

"Leader, actually, no precious materials were used. It was mainly picking, hide-making, and workmanship. The three items, back and forth, I led four people from the Craftsman Workshop and spent a total of more than half a month..."

Speaking of this, Mu Dong paused and hurriedly added: "Leader, please rest assured, the main task of the Craftsman Workshop at present is still to make materials for the new wooden house. We made these two things in our spare time and won't affect the new wooden house matter."

Hearing that it took more than half a month for these two things, Xia Hong immediately frowned. Although Mu Dong's explanation made his expression improve, he still stood up from the chair and put the clothes in his hand on the chair.

Xia Hong turned back, looked at Mu Dong, his face sank, and just as he was about to reprimand, Xia Chuan, who had been standing beside him, took the initiative to take the blame.

"Leader, the chair and clothes were all made by me asking Mu Dong to do it!"

After Xia Chuan said this, he looked around at everyone.

At this time, quite a few people were already surrounding them, and almost without exception, everyone's eyes looking at the set of clothes and the exquisite chair were full of envy and desire. Clearly, human needs in terms of material were common.

Xia Chuan knew very well what Xia Hong's worry was.

To be precise, after making Mu Dong make these two things, Xia Hong's reaction at this moment was also within his expectations.

Walking slowly to Xia Hong's side, Xia Chuan actually directly helped him sit back on the chair, then turned to look around at everyone, and then faced Xia Hong, speaking in a deep voice:

"Leader, from the dirt slope, everyone in the Does Does Da Xia camp has been able to survive because of you alone.

If you hadn't risked your life to go out and pick Crystal Fruit, and distributed cold beast meat to me, Yuan Cheng, and others, we people wouldn't have lived until now, let alone break through to the Woodcutting Realm;

When the Wood-Puppet Weird was causing trouble in the valley, it was also because of you that it was finally successfully beheaded, and the hundred-plus people in the Luo Ge camp were also saved because of you;

Since the camp merged for more than a month, Does Does Da Xia has a total of more than nine hundred people, and basically everyone can get cold beast meat, also because you have been working tirelessly to lead us out hunting;

If it weren't for you, let alone getting cold beast meat and starting to cultivate, whether we people could survive would be a problem.

Mining coal, mining iron, hunting—our strength is too poor now, and we can't help much, and everything has to rely on you alone.

This chair and this set of clothes were made for you by us willingly. In the current Does Does Da Xia camp, only you are worthy of them. I believe, I believe, that you using these two things, no one among the nine hundred people in the camp will have any opinion!"

Xia Chuan's words were sonorous and powerful. While speaking, his gaze also looked around at everyone.

Whether it was the people from the previous Does Does Da Xia, the people from Luo Ge, or even the people from the two camps of Da Chuan and Huang Zhao that merged later, hearing what Xia Chuan said, they all lowered their heads and fell into thought.

They hadn't reacted just now. When Xia Hong first saw the two things, he was clearly very happy, but why did he frown later and show a look of wanting to blame Mu Dong?

Hearing Xia Chuan's words, everyone then understood.

"Leader, you have worked hard, these two things, only you are worthy of using."

"That's right, Leader, this chair and clothes were made for you. If you don't use them, who else in our camp is worthy?"

"If it weren't for the Leader, we could only lie by the stove to sleep, where would we get cold beast meat to cultivate? The Leader enjoying these two things is well-deserved."

"That's right, Leader, just put them on and show us. If they look good, in the future when the camp's supplies are more abundant, Mu Dong can make them for us too!"

"Leader, the brothers Ying Xuan and Ying Yi like to be naked. These clothes look troublesome, they definitely won't like them."

"Li Yun, you are the one who loves to be naked, your whole family loves to be naked."

"Hahahahaha..."

Understanding Xia Hong's concerns, everyone around, whether it was the hunting team, logging team, or reservists, and even those ordinary people, all expressed their stance one after another, asking Xia Hong to put on the clothes and show them.

Everyone's tone was relaxed. Later, Li Yun even bantered with the brothers Ying Xuan and Ying Yi.

Watching the cheerful expressions of everyone, a trace of emotion flashed through Xia Hong's heart.

He considered himself worthy of these two things, but the unanimous recognition of so many people in the camp was undoubtedly much more precious than these two things.

Thinking about it, Xia Hong didn't stand on ceremony either. He stood up from the chair, turned his back to the crowd, took off his animal hide skirt, and put on the whole set of clothes Mu Dong made, piece by piece.

After Xia Hong put on all the clothes, found a rope to tie up his scattered hair, and turned around.

Everyone in the camp couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
