survival in the wilderness

Chapter 15

Open your eyes, have a good night's sleep, and it's a new day.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the heat continued.

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes.The weather in this place is really strange. It rains as soon as it is said, and it doesn't last long. When the sun comes out, it will become hotter immediately.

But after several months of observation, every time it rains, the vegetation will grow wildly.do not know why.

The people who twisted the hemp rope gradually came, and brought some things along the way.

It was something that the hunters brought back and thought it was strange, let Lin Yan identify it and see if it was of any use.

Most of them are all kinds of grasses, which grow differently, as well as branches and branches of various shrubs.

With the help of Fat Bao, Lin Yan identified them one by one.

Among them is a kind of branch that she finds very useful. It is Xuntiao. The newborn Xuntiao is soft and smooth, and has good toughness. It can be used to weave baskets.

She has seen the method of making baskets a long time ago, but has never had a chance to implement it.

The current situation has nothing, all the utensils are pure natural, and everything is very useful.

The basket is a good thing, it can hold too many things and is very practical.

Lin Yan asked everyone to remember Xun Tiao's appearance, and bring back some more when they saw it.

After looking at things, we started today's theme activities.

Huahua couldn't hold back for a long time, "Let's start, I can't wait."

"I'm also in a hurry. I want to see what it is." Little Shitou leaned over and stood next to Lin Yan, wanting to see it more clearly.

Lin Yan asked directly, "Is everything ready?"

"Okay." Everyone said loudly, taking out the things they made.

Lin Yan looked over and found that everyone made different wooden sticks, with different thicknesses, some long and some short.

She didn't study it carefully, so it's good, everyone will see it more clearly when she makes something later.

Take out the fine twine that was twisted a few days ago, each about three millimeters thick, and it looks like a big ball, which should be enough for them to toss.

Lin Yan has never done hand knitting before, and he has practiced many times in his mind. He does not know what the result will be after practice, but he hopes to succeed once.

Today's task is very simple, weave the fine linen thread into a sheet with a wooden stick.

Knotted on a wooden stick, the winding began, very smoothly.

Lin Yan was overjoyed, took another wooden stick, and started weaving around the thread.

Her hand was a little stronger, and the twine was too tight, so she quickly loosened it.

After a lot of tossing, after almost half an hour, she wove a piece the size of a palm.

It's crooked and inconsistent, but it's a success.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Yan said: "This is the coarse cloth woven from hemp thread. As long as there is enough hemp thread, you can always weave a large piece. If you thread the piece of hemp cloth with hemp thread, you can make a sack and a sackcloth. The sack can be used for To hold things, sackcloth is a kind of clothes. Come, let me explain to you in detail, how to start, how to weave in the middle, how to make the end, and how to control the size. It's very simple, and you can learn it once you learn it."

Under Lin Yan's guidance, everyone got started very quickly. In one morning, each of them wove a piece of linen, big or small.

The grass branches are the best, and the tension is well controlled. Her wooden sticks are of the right thickness, and the sackcloth woven is softer to the touch than others.

If the wooden stick is thick, it will be hollowed out, and if it is too thin, it will be very hard.

When you see the finished product and the wooden stick in your hand, everyone understands.

Continue to fight in the afternoon, the grass and branches are fast, and the sackcloth weaves is big and good.

Lin Yan used twine to tie up the linen piece, which was a straight shape, leaving a gap at the arm position, and she wore it directly on her body.

"This is the simplest sackcloth. You can use your brain to think about it, and you can make other shapes."

Lin Yan, who was wearing a torn sack, had no sense of beauty, and wanted to cry in her heart, but she was smiling.This burlap is really too rough, and calling it a cloth is an insult to the cloth.

After choosing two pieces of sackcloth of about the same size, Lin Yan threaded the three sides together with twine to make a sack.

Then put things in there for everyone to see.

Everyone is more interested in sacks than sackcloth.Practical.

At the end of the day, the sack is successfully born, the basic knitting method is established, and the rest depends on everyone's innovation.

This is another brand new skill, and everyone is excited and ready to go big.

Then, it was found that the twine was gone.

So, began to look for Juma.

In addition to making two sacks of the fine twine, the rest is used for practice, weaving and unraveling, and weaving and weaving. This is the only way to do this before the fine twine is ready.

When looking for Ju Ma, Lin Yan told everyone to find Xun Tiao and prepare to make a basket.

Compared with weaving linen, the materials needed for this are very easy to find. They are all branches, and you can get started after simple processing.

After Xun Tiao got it, Lin Yan did it himself first.

Arrange the thicker long Xun strips in the shape of rice to make the skeleton.Step on it with your feet, and then weave the thin Xun strips up and down around the skeleton.

The imagination is beautiful, but once you start it, it will be useless.

Lin Yanren's strength was limited, so he couldn't do it at all, and it fell apart before it was formed.

Then, she looked at the wood and stone next to her, "I said, you can do it, okay?"

Mu Shi readily agreed.He is very happy to make various things with Lin Yan, it is a magical world, which makes life a lot more fun.

Under the guidance of Lin Yan's theory, Mu Shi got started quickly, and made a tight basket bottom in a short while, both of them were very happy.

"Wood and stone, take the thicker Xun stick, bury it in the fire and burn it for a while, take it out, and then tie the two sides with hemp rope to shape it."

The first Xuntiao was overcooked and could not be used. Fortunately, there were a lot of them, and several were prepared.

It continued to burn, this time Lin Yan took it out every few minutes to take a look, and when he felt that it was almost done, he tied both ends with hemp rope to shape it.

After the temperature drops, the two ends are smoothed with a stone knife, and the handle part of the basket is ready.

Put the bottom of the basket on the hemp rope, uplift the rice-shaped skeleton and tie it with thin hemp rope, and then weave it with thin Xun strips.

When the basket is woven to a height of about [-] centimeters, untie the raised strips and start finishing.

A rough basket is finished, not very big, like an ellipse, with a radius of thirty centimeters on the long side and about twenty centimeters on the short side.

Holding the basket in his hand, Mu Shi excitedly turned around in circles.

He couldn't believe that this thing was made by him.

I picked up a basket of weeds and carried it, but I couldn't feel the weight at all.

Wood and stone began to put stones in, from small to large, trying little by little, and after confirming that the basket was firm, he grinned.

"This thing is so useful, it can hold a lot of things, and it's easy to carry."

Lin Yan and Ye Ya have been watching from the sidelines, and also followed silly.

"This is a basket, it can be big or small." Lin Yan pointed to the gap on the basket, "This space can also be made more dense, so that small things can be filled without leaking."

Mu Shi nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I will change it right away."

The other onlookers and children lifted the baskets one by one, and immediately started to do it themselves.

I was so busy that I made ten large and small baskets on this day.

The ones made by children are smaller, and the ones made by the elderly are large and small.

It was getting dark, Lin Yan said generously, "I can take all the baskets I made back home."

Both the old man and the child burst into laughter.
