Lu Ke has always hoped to make Xu Yi some leather shoes using pig or cowhide, but since they haven't hunted wild boars or water buffaloes, there hasn't been an opportunity to make comfortable leather footwear.
Instead, Lu Ke usually weaves using bark. Later, when flax became available, she even wove flax shoes for Xu Yi. However, they weren't very durable, needing replacement every ten days or so.
Now, the pair Xu Yi is wearing is almost worn out too, and he needs a new pair crafted by Lu Ke.
Sitting by the fire, Lu Ke skillfully weaves bamboo shoes for Xu Yi, while Xu Yi works on a bamboo bed, attaching finger-width bamboo strips to it.
The scene is both warm and ordinary.
To the audience in the livestreams, the evenings are almost always like this, warm and similar in each stream.
At night, it's often about doing some handwork. Challengers who do nothing are rare unless injured or too tired to stay up.
Of course, there are crises too.
