Transmigrated into a rare female in the beast world, she was forced to love

Chapter 51 Straw Sandals

Almost all the male orcs in the tribe went to the mountains, leaving only a few to guard the tribe.

The remaining female orcs also followed the chief's instructions and went around to collect firewood so that they could roast the red fruits when the male orcs came back.

The orcs in the tribe liked to eat raw meat and rarely made fires. In addition, the snow season had just passed, so they had no habit of storing firewood.

Fortunately, the Gray Wolf Tribe was surrounded by fallen dead trees and weeds and branches, so there was no need to run far away to collect firewood.

Su Qianqian was holding a bunch of branches and happened to meet Lan Di.

"Hmph, don't think you'll be alright if you avoid this time. An ugly infertile freak like you will be kicked out of the tribe sooner or later!" With no one else around, Lanti didn't even bother to hide his disgust for her.

"Really?" Su Qianqian met her hostile gaze. From the corner of her eye, she saw Gillian resting by the fire. She pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, "Do you really think that no one else knows what you did?"

"What do you mean?!" Lan Di noticed the look she gave Gillian and, as if realizing something, immediately threatened in a low voice, "I advise you not to overthink it and not to say anything nonsense, otherwise I will immediately make sure you can't stay in the tribe!"

Su Qianqian's eyes darkened.

She didn't believe that Gillian's injury was accidental and she just pretended to be lying. She didn't expect that it was really related to Lan Di...

Why did she do this?

Why do you want to harm Gillian?

Is it because of the two males around Gillian?

Thinking of the strange expressions on the faces of the two males before, Su Qianqian had a bad suspicion in her heart.

She looked at Lanti deeply, said nothing more, and turned and left.

"Qianqian!" Gillian saw her and waved at her happily.

Su Qianqian looked back at Lan Di's obviously ugly face, turned around, and went straight to sit next to Gillian with firewood in her arms.

"Qianqian, take a rest. This much firewood is enough." Gillian pulled her and said with concern, "Also, I'm sorry for causing everyone to misunderstand you before..."

"It's okay." Su Qianqian patted the back of her hand soothingly. "It's my fault for putting you in danger going up the mountain..."

"No!" Gillian frowned and interrupted her, "This is none of your business. You were so generous and kind, sharing food with all of us. It was just my bad luck that I encountered the beast..."

"Is it really bad luck..." Su Qianqian spoke hesitantly. She looked at the wounds on Gillian's feet and felt a little distressed.

Even if an orc is tough and strong, if he is chased by a wild beast and rolled down the hillside, he will suffer a lot of injuries...

"Oh, Qianqian, please stop worrying about this." Facing Su Qianqian's worry and suspicion, Gillian waved her hand dismissively. "We females have always been inferior to males. Not only do we not have supernatural powers, but our physical fitness is also not as good as theirs. I was lucky to survive the wild beasts I encountered in the mountains this time."

Su Qianqian sighed: "...Okay."

She looked at Gillian's bare feet again and said, "Gillian, your feet are injured. You can't walk casually in the future. Let me make you a pair of straw sandals."

"Straw sandals?" Gillian widened her eyes in confusion. "What are those?"

Su Qianqian smiled and said nothing. Instead, she returned to her cave and carried out the hay that had been dried earlier.

She found a big stone and beat and smashed the hay until it was soft and no longer prickly.

Immediately afterwards, Su Qianqian began to roll the processed hay into ropes to use as the warp threads of the soles.

Starting from the toe of the shoe, weave the rope into a mesh shape. Here, pay attention to the uniformity of the warp and weft lines and the flatness of the sole.

Hand weaving is a craft that requires patience and skill. Su Qianqian has the experience she gained from her childhood, so weaving is not difficult for her.

Her fingers were nimble, flying back and forth between the straw rope and the shoe upper. Gillian, who was standing by, was shocked and curious, and couldn't take her eyes off it.

Soon, the upper was woven, and the next step was to close the opening. The shoe opening needed to be tightened with needle and thread at the connection between the sole and the upper to ensure the firmness of the toe and heel.

But obviously, there are no such things as needles and thread in this beast world.

She asked Gillian for animal teeth and tendons to use as needles and thread.

What's more, animal teeth and tendons are sharper and stronger than ordinary needles and threads, and the straw sandals made from them are also smoother and stronger.
