Chapter 150 Visiting Heng
Chapter 150 Visiting Heng
They discussed the glasses-making process for a long time, and Jiang Luoluo's voice became a little hoarse. Ge quickly opened a small water cup and fed Jiang Luoluo some water.
Seeing this, Ti stopped trying to discuss it with Jiang Luoluo and said with a hint of excitement, "Is it really that troublesome? Then I'll give it a try first."
Although he said he was just trying it out, there was a sense of determination and a feeling that he had to succeed.
Because of his poor eyesight, his close friends have become increasingly reluctant to go out. In recent years, it has always been Shave who takes the initiative to find them, while they rarely leave their cave on their own.
Moreover, because they couldn't see, those brothers who were as old as Ti felt increasingly uninterested in living and didn't want to live anymore. They also exuded a faint aura of death. Every time Ti parted with them, he worried that it would be the last time they would see each other.
Ti had been trying to persuade them to stay, but didn't know how. Now that he saw the transparent lens, he felt hopeful and decided to give it a try.
If they could regain their youthful eyesight and see the world clearly again, perhaps they wouldn't want to leave so soon.
Naturally, since the lenses needed to make eyeglasses are smaller, the process is definitely more complicated and time-consuming, but we are not prepared to give up because of that.
You know, his only real free time right now is his leisure time.
Jiang Luoluo suddenly remembered something and tugged at her clothes. "After you finish making them... could you also make me a pair of glasses?"
Jiang Luoluo pointed to the fruit wine and said, "I can trade you the fruit wine."
Ti suddenly became interested. "Why?"
Just now, when he asked to exchange for fruit wine, the cub refused, but now it's willing to exchange for a pair of glasses.
Jiang Luoluo said shyly, "I want to make a pair of glasses for Akaya."
In fact, Jiang Luoluo rarely thought about Chi Ye needing glasses, and even when she did, she would be interrupted by other things.
Jiang Luoluo had never seen Chi's life affected by his severe nearsightedness. Because of his overwhelming personal strength and physical reflexes, Chi was capable of handling almost all kinds of troubles encountered in daily life.
To live like a normal person who is completely unaffected?
Therefore, when they were together, Jiang Luoluo always easily overlooked the fact that Chi was severely nearsighted.
It was only when Jiang Luoluo saw how enthusiastically she was about making glasses that she suddenly remembered Chi.
If Chi could also have a pair of glasses, her situation might change. She wouldn't have to stay in the tribe anymore and could go hunting with the hunting team.
However, compared to the robust physical condition of the Poirot people, the quality of their glasses seems somewhat fragile, and they may need to be protected with extra care.
However, if you want something, you have to pay a price. If having the glasses would really allow Akane to participate in hunting, then even if it would be troublesome for Akane to take care of protecting the glasses, she would probably be very happy to do so.
With a smile, he agreed to make a pair of glasses for Akaya.
“I have a transparent stone at home…can I bring that over?”
Jiang Luoluo recalled the high-definition, high-transparency transparent stones that she had exchanged with the children on Little Stone Mountain.
Since it's a gift for Aka, using a better, more transparent stone would be more appropriate.
Ti had no objection to this, after all, the transparent stones he had here were brought over by Li himself, and he didn't have any in stock.
Since Jiang Luoluo was willing to use her transparent stone, it was naturally the one she brought herself.
After finishing all these things, the day was almost over.
As a result, Jiang Luoluo realized that her visit to Heng Heyuan would have to be postponed until the next day.
However, the telescope wasn't urgent, so Jiang Luoluo wasn't in a rush. Instead, she felt very sorry for Ge.
After finally returning from the hunt, the time they could have spent resting was wasted by Jiang Luoluo taking them around everywhere.
Of course, Ge himself probably doesn't feel that he's being wasted. He's willing to do so many things with the cubs.
……
The next morning, Jiang Luoluo got up early to pack and prepare the gifts she would bring when she visited Heng.
Having experienced yesterday, Jiang Luoluo no longer felt any fear when she saw Heng.
There are no bad people in the tribe. Everyone is warm-hearted. Even if they seem difficult to get along with, they are actually kind and warm-hearted people.
Compared to the relatively remote and quiet place where Qing and Zao lived, Heng's place was quite lively.
Heng lives in the upper-middle part of Silver Peak Mountain, only slightly lower than where Chief Jing lives, and it is also the place where most families in the tribe live.
Yes, people of different ages in the tribe live in different locations. Although most of them live on the same floor, they are divided into several different areas.
For example, people who are already married prefer to live next to other married people, while single people prefer to live with other single people.
Both are for the sake of convenience.
The former takes into account that after starting a family and having children, the children will have enough peers to play with and will not be lonely.
Alternatively, if you are busy with other things, you can let your child stay with other children and ask their parents to help look after them.
If even a dozen or so families live together, one person can take turns looking after all the children each day, freeing up more people to do other things without having to worry about the children taking up their energy.
The latter's convenience refers to the fact that it's easier to go out into the Taz Forest occasionally to hunt and treat yourself, and it's also more convenient to hunt in a group and go out for fun together.
After all, some young tribesmen can't resist their playful nature and often go hunting in the Taz Forest on their own. It's fine if they go nearby, but if they want to go to a more distant place, they have to find other tribesmen to team up with.
Therefore, at this time, you need a group of peers who you can get along with.
As for those who have started families, they inevitably face many inconveniences and cannot, like single people, waste several days just to treat themselves to a meal and go play in the Taz Forest.
The more things a person owns, the more worries they have; the less a person has, the more at ease they seem in their actions.
Heng's house is a wooden cabin, not a cave, and it is no different from the other houses around it. The only difference is that Heng's house has an extra-large yard that no other house has.
Furthermore, the courtyard was filled with stones of all sizes, forming many small stone mountains.
When Jiang Luoluo and Ge arrived near the Heng family's residence, they saw a female clansman with a muscular and exceptionally strong physique polishing a stone tool in the courtyard.
Judging from its shape, this stone tool being made should be a huge axe.
Jiang Luoluo was stunned when she saw it. She remembered that this axe was in the shape of a stone tool that she made herself. How did it become a weapon? And judging from its size, it was not an ordinary weapon.
No, it could also be a tool. Nobody said stone tools could only be weapons; they could also be tools.
Jiang Luoluo pondered, feeling that she couldn't give her people too many rigid definitions.
Houses in the tribe don't have courtyard walls. If you really want to know how a family's yard is divided, they just use some obvious objects to mark out a rough area. Within that area, the property belongs to a particular family.
So when Jiang Luoluo and Ge appeared on the road, Heng saw them from a distance, but it wasn't until Jiang Luoluo and Ge walked all the way to Heng's own doorstep that he saw them.
Heng raised his eyes and looked at the two people, realizing that they had come for him.
"What brings you here? You're not here to ask me to make stone tools, are you?"
Heng's gaze swept over the two of them, finally settling on Ge.
The fact that Ge and Jiang Luoluo are both old is enough to prove that they didn't come for the stone tools.
"We are..." Before Jiang Luoluo and Ge could finish speaking, they heard a burst of unusually cheerful children's laughter coming from behind the Heng family's wooden house.
The sound immediately drew everyone's attention, and several people looked in the direction of the sound. A little boy, about seven or eight years old, ran out from the pile of stones behind the house, laughing loudly.
It's unclear whether he swallowed something while running, but the little boy's running movements were a bit strange.
Jiang Luoluo wanted to check on him and ask if he was alright, but he was still laughing heartily, calling out "Mom" before rushing into the house.
I have no idea what he's up to; his actions seem inexplicable.
But that's just how kids are; they always do things that adults can't understand, so it's not surprising.
He turned around and glared at the little boy's retreating back as he ran into the house. "Fine! No more fooling around!"
He then waved to Jiang Luoluo and Ge, "Ignore them, you two continue talking, what's the matter?"
Jiang Luoluo gave a puzzled "oh," and seeing that there was nothing wrong, she spoke again, explaining how she had been asked to come and visit Heng, and how she had asked Heng to help her make transparent lenses.
As Jiang Luoluo spoke, she anxiously observed Heng's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Heng listened to the whole thing silently without any overly excited reaction, as if he hadn't heard what Jiang Luoluo was saying at all.
Heng nodded and said "oh" only after Jiang Luoluo finished speaking, proving that she had indeed heard everything.
"Um... what are your thoughts?" Jiang Luoluo asked cautiously.
However, before Jiang Luoluo could finish speaking, another burst of cheerful children's laughter came from behind the wooden house.
Jiang Luoluo and Ge looked up in surprise and saw that the little boy who had just run into the wooden house was running out again from the pile of stones behind the house.
He ran into the house in the same manner as before, letting out inexplicable laughter as he ran.
Just as Jiang Luoluo was feeling a little surprised at how the child had run from the wooden house to the pile of stones behind it, she suddenly realized two things.
The word "they" in Heng's earlier statement, "Don't worry about them."
And the boy who just ran into the wooden house was limping. Jiang Luoluo was worried about him just now, but now this child running towards the wooden house is running very nimbly, and there is no sign of injury.
If we exclude the possibility that it's just one child running back and forth, then there's probably only one possibility—it's twins!
Heng Zheng frowned deeply. "Sheng, didn't I just say no nonsense!"
Then he turned to look at Jiang Luoluo, about to explain about the two brothers, when he heard Jiang Luoluo ask with curiosity, "Are they twin brothers?"
Heng was stunned for a moment, seemingly having never seen such a calm reaction from a cub. He sighed and nodded, "Yes, they are two brothers born together."
Heng rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a terrible headache. "I'm glad you weren't scared by them. This is one of their old tricks; they often use it to frighten guests who are visiting our house for the first time."
Go's gaze suddenly turned hostile as he stared at the two boys who seemed to have frightened the cubs.
Thankfully, the cub wasn't afraid; thankfully, the cub wasn't frightened.
Jiang Luoluo nodded in realization. No wonder they made such strange laughs; they were deliberately trying to attract attention and make others notice them, creating a strong impression of their appearance.
This way, when the two brothers appear a second time, it will be a very shocking experience.
They're quite good at having fun.
Another child, Cheng, who had been secretly hiding inside the wooden house and spying on the outside, saw that he hadn't scared Jiang Luoluo and Ge, and that his mother looked genuinely angry and about to beat them, so he quickly ran out as well.
The two brothers walked awkwardly to the vicinity of the horizontal wall, looking at Jiang Luoluo with great curiosity.
Jiang Luoluo's older brother, Sheng, asked curiously, "Why weren't you scared just now? How did you guess there were two of us?"
Chengye, the younger brother, chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, everyone else would be scared by us, why aren't you scared?"
Jiang Luoluo looked at her younger brother Cheng, who was the first to appear, and answered honestly, "Because you came out with a limp, I was worried about you."
Jiang Luoluo then turned to look at her brother Sheng, "But when you came out, your leg was fine, so it's obvious that you are two different people."
The two brothers were stunned by the answer. The older brother, Sheng, suddenly turned to look at his younger brother, Cheng, and accused him, "So it was because of you! It's all your fault for getting hurt, which is why she found out!"
The younger brother's eyes widened. "It's your fault! If you hadn't pushed me from behind the rock, I wouldn't have fallen!"
The two brothers were arguing and almost came to blows. It was only after Heng coughed and gave them a fierce look that he managed to subdue them.
