survival in the wilderness

Chapter 81

Looking at the clay pots, cups and bowls piled up in his room, Lin Yan cleaned all the ones he had used in previous experiments.

The whole house looked much cleaner and tidier. Lin Yan nodded in satisfaction and began to knead the mud. She wanted to make various clay models and pour tools of various shapes.

Now there are only iron pans and kitchen knives, and I will have to deal with mud for a long time.

Last night, I just went to Haikou with Hua Hong to make machetes, heads, shovels, sickles, etc., but I can't make A Niang wait too long, in case she doesn't agree to open up wasteland.

Groups of mud were pinched back and forth in her hands, making various shapes.At the beginning, it was not refined enough, it only had a rough appearance. After pinching a few times, it became more and more smooth, and Lin Yan was immersed in it, very selfless.

She was thinking about the shape of the head, first made a rough shape, and then began to refine it, adjusting the radian of the lines, and must strive for excellence.

This time she gained experience, and she pinched a dozen or so of each kind. Anyway, she only needs to make one, and the rest are repeated, which is handy.

When he was working, he forgot the passage of time. There were more and more clay sculptures on the test bench. Lin Yan was about to pinch one, so he stretched out his hand to dig the mud, only to find that the mud was gone.

She froze for a moment, moved her stiff body, and went to Momu to move the soil for her.

Without saying a word, Momo immediately went to do it.Outside the laboratory, there was a large pile of soil, and Ye Zi asked someone to transport it to them.Just put it in a basket and bring it in.

Entering Lin Yan's room, Mao Mu was stunned when he saw the clay sculptures on the test bench, all of which had never been seen before, "You, you made so many in one morning, what are these?"

Lin Yan introduced him excitedly: "This is a machete. The back is thick and the blade is thin. This hole is for the handle. It will make cutting trees much easier. This is the head. The front is wide and the rear is narrow. The blade is in the front. It is equipped with a long Use the wooden stick as a handle, pick it up and dig the ground..."

The more Momu heard, the more excited he became, "These things are for daily use. With them, it will be easier to open up wasteland and farm land. Didn't you promise to make bows and arrows for the black soil? What does that look like?"

Taking a slate, Lin Yan drew a few brushstrokes, and the bow and arrow looked like it. "The scissors are made of iron, and the bow body is made of tough wood. The bowstring is a bit difficult. I haven't figured out what to use yet Do. In fact, it is also possible to use iron to make the bow body and bowstring, which is durable and can withstand greater force. Let me think about how to do it."

While talking, Lin Yan fell into deep thought.

Mao Mu didn't bother her, picked up the basket and went out to load the soil.

After he finished moving all the soil, before Lin Yan regained consciousness, Mao Mu touched his head and went to do his own business first.

Half an hour later, Lin Yan came back to her senses. She decided to use iron to make a bow and arrow. Although it was not easy, how would you know if you didn't try it?

It's already noon, it's time to eat, and my stomach is growling with hunger.Huahong went to work, so she might not go home for lunch.She was going to make do with it and make something for herself when she got home.

As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Hong Ling walking over with a basket, and shouted as he walked, "Don't go back in a hurry, I brought you something to eat."

"Huh?" Lin Yan didn't expect that she would bring food, "Why did you bring food all of a sudden, and I have a share?"

Hong Ling smiled softly, "My aunt said that adults will be busy today, building a smelter and an office compound, and I'm afraid we won't be taken care of, so I made them in advance, and let me bring them over to eat together, everyone will have a share."

"Your mother is really thoughtful, what about the others?"

"Still busy, you are still young and cannot stand hunger, so I will come to you first. Let's go to the room over there to eat." Hong Ling pointed to a room and said.

"Okay, you go first, I'll call them."

Lin Yan readily accepted, and went from room to room calling people on his short legs.

There are only eleven of them in the laboratory, and each of them has a separate room, except for the three warehouses, which are shared.

What Hong Ling was talking about was one of them. There were tables and stools built with bricks, and it was a meeting room where we usually discussed together.

When everyone arrived, Hua Min asked with a smile: "What delicious food did you bring? Your mother is so kind and considerate, so busy and worried that we will be hungry."

Shi Zhi mercilessly exposed: "Don't worry about us, they are worried about Lin Yan. Hong Ling's mother only has Lin Yan in her heart, and even Hong Ling has to stand aside. We are just following along."

His family is close to Hong Ling's family, both belong to the fifth group, and he knows Hong Ling's aunt Hong Ying better.

"It's good to have something to eat, so there's no need to talk so much." Huang Ying glanced at Hong Ling as she spoke.

Although what Shi Zhi said should be true, he couldn't say it so harshly, it would be bad if he made Hong Ling unhappy.

Hong Ling smiled and said: "Shi Zhi is right, we all follow the light, come and eat."

Lin Yan took the steamed egg from Hong Ling with a smile and thanked him.She rarely goes to other people's homes, but Hongying is really enthusiastic.

Mao Mu said: "Look at the amount, we all have a share, so it can be seen that we are also thinking of us."

Among them, only Lin Yan was the youngest and ate the least, but Hongying prepared a lot, such as steamed eggs, dried meat, dried wild fruits, etc., the amount was really quite a lot, enough for them to eat.

Lin Yan was taken aback when he saw three chestnuts, "The chestnuts aren't ripe yet, are they?"

Unlike juma, Mao chestnuts can only be harvested once a year, and they can't be eaten until the end of July.

The chestnuts her family harvested last year were all gone before the end of the winter season. She still wanted to eat them, so she could only wait patiently for this year's chestnuts to mature.

"It's not familiar, it's from last year." Hong Ling was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect her aunt to bring the treasure. "My aunt kept some, and she was reluctant to eat them on weekdays, so she kept them."

"It's really soaked up. Mao chestnuts are a good thing. My family has already eaten them." Hua Min looked at the three hair chestnuts that were the size of a child's fist, and immediately remembered their deliciousness.

She said anxiously: "There is a fire in the yard, we are about to roast it and eat it."

The others were also very anxious. With such a big three, they can still eat a bite if they share one point.

Lin Yan hurriedly said, "You can't eat it."

"Why?" Huang Ying was puzzled, they all ate it last year.

Hong Ling hesitated and said: "It was left for too long and it broke?" If this is the case, it would be a pity, her mother hid it like a treasure, wouldn't it be in vain.

Mao Mu said hesitantly: "No way, the chestnut skin is thick and hard, and it can be stored for a long time without breaking the shell."

They looked at Lin Yan in unison, how did she know that she couldn't eat it.

Lin Yun looked at a group of people, and thought to himself, could it be that Lin Yan's mental power level is relatively high, so he can see through it at a glance?
Seeing their eagerness, Lin Yan smiled and said, "It's because I didn't make it clear, the chestnuts should not be spoiled, and they are still edible."

"Then why do you say you can't eat it?" Hua Min asked eagerly.
