After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 217 Palm Trees

Seeing the expression of the tribesman, Ah Cha hurriedly said: "If you have anything to say, say anything, so that Arthur can find a way to solve it."

Then the tribesman laughed and said: "I'm not saying that the wheelbarrow is not easy to use. It's just that the road is full of potholes. Sometimes if you push it too hard, the wheelbarrow will fall over if you are not careful."

Asha also nodded: "Yes, especially when pushing heavy objects, I accidentally fell them. Last time Apin's wheelbarrow overturned, he was hit in the foot by a stone."

Xiao Se was shocked: "How's the injury? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Ah Pin, who was pulled forward by Ah Sha, saw that Xiao Se was nervous, and immediately explained with warmth in his heart: "It's okay, the stone hit the straw sandals, and the instep was swollen, but there was no bleeding."

"Even so, you have to speak out if anything happens. I am a witch doctor." When it comes to the word witch doctor, Xiao Se is not embarrassed at all now. "I will listen to your opinions. You go ahead."

Then Asha took Apin and others and left pushing the wheelbarrow.

She stared at their departing figures in silence, Ah Cha stepped forward and held her arm, looking with her: "Arthur, what are you looking at?"

"I'm thinking, if the unicycle doesn't work, then I'll get another car!"

The shape of another car flashed in Xiao Se's mind. She couldn't make it exactly the same, but the general shape was OK.

Especially with the premise of a unicycle, it should be very easy to make other vehicles.

"Ah Cha, I'll go back first." Without further ado, he quickly went back to find Uncle Mushi, told him about the cart, and asked him to make it.

Awulu was disappointed: "Arthur, aren't you going with us?"

Arthur looked at the lost three cubs and swallowed the words that came to his mouth: "Go, of course, we are going back to the tribe anyway. Let's go back together."

Ah Wu and the other three were instantly happy. With Xiao Se's heart-warming smile, they followed behind them and moved forward.

The further you go, the more hills and hills there are. From time to time there is a cave here and a cave there.

The woods are not very dense, they are all sparse.

Along the way, only the forest where we picked honey nests was big, and the rest could be called scattered.

"Arthur, is it hot?" Ah Wu was very considerate, "There are no trees for shade here, but there is a big one in front. However, the bark of the tree is a bit itchy when rubbed against my body."

Xiao Se smiled and said: "We are going to hide in the shade and rub the bark of trees to do something."

Ah Wu smiled: "Yes."

Walking all the way, I didn't find anything edible or usable, and then I walked to the woods where Ah Wu said that the bark of the trees was a little itchy.

The trees here are shorter than those Xiao Se has seen before, only about 18 to 25 meters.

At a glance, it's spectacular.

It's just right to take shelter here.

Xiao Se looked at the woods and laughed like a fool.

Seeing Arthur's happiness, Ah Wu also smiled and said, "It's best to take shelter here, isn't it?"

He was glad that Arthur liked what he found, really glad.

Xiao Se nodded repeatedly: "These trees are really good things."

Ever since Changsheng and the others found Ji, her excitement has become less obvious. There is really nothing more exciting than rice, and other discoveries can be put to the back.

Ah Wu heard that it was a good thing and shouted excitedly: "Good thing? Is it delicious?"

"It can be said that it is." Xiao Se pointed to the yellow and orange ears hanging down on the tree and said, "That is edible. Cooking, making winter melon soup, stir-fried cabbage and black fungus, etc." Everyone listened to Xiao Se All said, they were very happy.

Ah Wu, in particular, was so excited that he almost jumped up: "Arthur, as expected, it would be best to bring you here. Otherwise, we would live here every day and not even know that the things on this tree are still edible. I just I felt a little itchy when I rubbed it on my body, but I didn’t expect it to be a useful tree.”

Ah Cha touched the tree and asked, "Arthur, what kind of tree is this?"

"This is called a palm tree." Because palm trees are strong in resisting carbon dioxide and purifying the air, most people plant palm trees in the yards of modern rural areas.

The tall ones are generally about ten to 15 meters, and the short ones are about two or three meters.

Palm trees in ancient times were taller.

The bark of palm trees can be used to make coir raincoats, and the fan-shaped leaves can be used to make cattail fans and hats.

You can also tear the leaves and make them into ropes, but be careful about the edges, because they are very sharp and can scratch your hands if you don't do it right.

But the best material for making rope is brown hair.

Both palm leaves and skin can be used as medicine. When crushed, they can be used to stop bleeding and bleeding. It is also excellent for women's lochia.

Palm fruits mature in November and February, and the oil can be squeezed from the fruits, which is as practical as rapeseed oil.

It can be said that palm trees are full of treasures. There is a saying about palm trees: they don’t wear your clothes, they don’t eat your food, but they give you a layer of skin every year.

Ah Wu stared at the palm tree curiously: "Trees can also be eaten? Where can you eat them?"

"You can eat the yellow flowers. You can put some in them when cooking and making soup." My grandma said that she had used this to make soup before, but she didn't particularly like to drink that kind of soup like her grandma did.

Xiao Se pointed to the outer layer of fibrous bark on the palm tree, feeling a little excited: "This has great benefits. It can be used to make a raincoat to keep out the rain. It is a bit heavy but very useful. It can also be used to make ropes instead of tree vines. Tie something up.”

Brown ropes can be used for decades without breaking. There are even brown ropes found in tombs that have not broken down for thousands of years.

Moreover, the use of brown rope has been recorded as early as the Warring States Period, possibly even longer, but there is no written record.

After all, the ancients used knotted ropes to record events. If it wasn’t this brown rope, what would it be?
So Xiao Se guessed that the brown rope existed earlier.

Modern people say that Simmons is too soft and causes waist and back pain when sleeping on it. Many people sleep on brown mattresses instead, which are made of brown wood.

The palm tree that is full of blessings also has shortcomings. Its wood is soft-hearted and cannot be used to make large furniture, but can only be used to make small furniture.

Brooms, brown shoes, brown hats, brown shoes can also be used to build roofs, make brown sheds, mattresses, etc.

Xiao Se looked back at the palm grove, smiling and frowning. He was worried about the inability to use hay as a roof. Now he discovered this, but he was about to doze off when someone sent him a pillow.

Ah Cha shook his head: "It's okay to use a coir raincoat or something like that to keep out the rain, but it can be used instead of tying things up with tree vines. How to do it?"

Ah Wu also echoed: "Yes, yes, getting wet in the rain is normal for us, but the rope is still attractive to us."

Xiao Se walked towards the palm tree: "It's not normal to be exposed to the rain. You will get sick and have a fever if you are exposed to the rain. Taking shelter from the rain is the most important thing."

Ah Cha said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, we understand. Come and tell us, how to make this rope?"

Xiao Se was embarrassed. In fact, she had never used brown hair to make a rope. She only saw it in a book. It said that brown hair was used to rub it up one by one and then gather it together.

I’ve never done it, so I’ll have to try it before I know.

The palm trees were wild and not taken care of, and their hairs were as messy as unkempt hair.

Xiao Se was about to take action when he heard Ah Wu shouting: "Arthur!"
