After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 218 Brown Rope
Xiao Se heard Ah Wu's cry and thought he was in danger, so he rushed over: "A Wu, what happened?"

Ah Wu stood blankly in front of a withered palm tree, extremely sad: "Arthur, this tree is dead!"

Xiao Se stepped forward, stroked the withering palm tree, and said in a deep voice, "Because no one peeled off the bark for it, it died."

Ah Wu said in surprise: "Why did the tree die if the bark was not peeled off? Shouldn't it live well?"

When they passed by here before, they didn't feel much when they saw dead trees. Instead, they would drag the trees back to make firewood and burn them.

But after listening to what Arthur said just now, I knew that palm wood was of great use. No matter how willing it was to die, I was eager to have more so that it could be used on the people of the tribe.

Xiao Se looked over from here and saw many withered and dead palm trees: "Just like us, if our bodies are... too dirty and not washed off, we will get sick and die."

She wanted to say that if people wear too thick clothes, they will die from the heat.

But think about it, Ah Wu and the others don’t know the concept of wearing too thick clothes, so they don’t use this metaphor, so they changed it.

Ah Wu and others seemed to understand: "Oh, that's what it means. Then you mean that the bark on this tree needs to be cleaned off."

"Yes, at least once a year." Xiao Se pulled off the brown hair and put it on his hand, "Now that we have discovered them, we will not let them die again."

I'm afraid there won't be enough for them.

Xiao Se smoothed out the brown hair, held it in his hand and rubbed it carefully in the same direction, just like rubbing a rope.

"Ah Cha, hold this head, yes, don't move." Xiao Se asked Ah Cha to hold the brown hair head, then he pulled the head and began to rub the rope.

If the brown hair is short, you need to add new brown hair in the middle, then bring the two strands together, continue to rub, and slowly make it longer.

Because one strand of brown wool rope is not strong enough, you have to twist several strands of brown wool rope and then twist them together into one rope.

The most common thing in rural areas is the straw harvested from the rice fields and dried in the sun. Use a small stool to press the end of the rope, or step on the end of the rope with your feet, and then rub it all the way down. The longer you rub it, the longer it becomes, and then it becomes what everyone calls it. straw rope.

But as society develops better and better, this kind of straw rope has also been eliminated.

Xiao Se rubbed the rope and said, "These are freshly picked and are not very solid. Just like I taught you how to make straw sandals, it is best to soak and boil these brown hairs to increase their toughness and make them stronger." .”

The eyes of the four people at Acha followed Xiao Se's gesture.

Xiao Se twisted a one-meter-long piece of rope: "Look, that's it. Ah Suan and Ah Jiao, you two come over here."

Ah Jiao and Ah Suan, who was called out, rushed to her happily, like a good baby waiting to be praised by their parents.

Xiao Se asked Ah Jiao and Ah Suan to stand back to back, then tied a rope around their waists and tied a slip knot: "Come on, find a way to break free."

Ah Suan and Ah Jiao watched with their own eyes how Arthur turned the brown hair on the tree into a rope. They were full of confidence in how to break free and twisted around, trying to break free as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break free.

The two of them looked at Arthur with blushing faces, feeling particularly embarrassed: "Arthur, what's going on? This rope looks so soft, why can't you break free?"

Ah Jiao was also ashamed and said: "Yes, the tree vine looks very strong, but no matter how hard I struggle, I can't break free."

Xiao Se untied the rope: "So, this is a good thing that can replace the tree vine. Do you believe it?"

Ah Wu said first: "I believe it, I believe it, Arthur, try me, tie me and Ah Cha, let's try it too."

Seeing Ah Cha who was also eager to try, Xiao Se tied the two of them together. The two of them suppressed their blushes and could not break free from the rope.

Ah Wu was convinced and his eyes shone: "This is really a good thing. It's soft and easy to carry. You don't have to tie it to your body with hard vines anymore." Ah Cha also thought of it: "Yes, Arthur. It’s so soft and can be tied around the body, so we don’t need any vines.”

This statement was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, who looked at the palm trees with both eyes.

Ah Wu stretched out his hand to pull the bark of the tree: "Then let's drag them back?"

"Hey, wait a minute." Xiao Se stopped him, "It's not like this. It's useless if you pull it like this. Besides, it's best to peel this thing off the tree in the afternoon, so that the tree won't be injured and die."

Palm trees seem to peel off their bark in the morning in April and May, and in September and October in the afternoon.

She vaguely remembered this, but she had almost forgotten the details.

Ah Wu opened his mouth in shock: "Ah, this will also cause the tree to be injured and die. It is much softer than us humans!"

"Every natural object has its natural rules. Let's just follow them and not destroy them." Xiao Se touched the palm tree and sighed, "Come back in two days."

Wait until Changsheng and the others pick up the chestnuts, and wait until Yefeng Railway has people on hand to do this again.

The palm tree is here and can't escape, don't worry.

The four of them walked through the palm forest, and suddenly felt that the sunlight was blocked. They rushed out of the palm forest and looked up.

The dark clouds in the sky rolled towards the ground like a tornado, which looked very scary.

Xiao Se said in horror: "Is it going to thunder and rain? The weather was fine just now."

Ah Cha immediately stood beside Xiao Se to protect her: "Arthur, let's go back quickly before the rain comes down, so as not to get sick from the rain."

Xiao Se's heart felt warm, they were all thinking about not getting sick, but they didn't care about their own bodies.

Ah Wu and the others also agreed to return to the tribe now.

The five of them ran in the direction of the tribe. Xiao Se looked up at the sky, filled with anxiety. He didn't know what was happening on the other side of Night Breeze.
With such a big dark cloud, you can tell at a glance that there will be heavy rain.

Suddenly, heavy rain poured down without any sign of rain, drenching Xiao Se and others to the core.

The rain was so heavy that several people were unable to see the road.

Xiao Se had no choice but to take them back to the palm forest to hide from the rain. Although it was thundering and raining, they should not hide under the big trees.

But here there are only trees. I hope there won’t be thunder, otherwise they won’t even have shelter from the rain.

This is the second time it has rained since Xiao Se came here, and every time it rains hard and suddenly.

"This rain is so heavy!" Xiao Se looked at the raindrops hitting the ground like hail, his heart pounding with fear, his fists clenched and his face full of seriousness.

To say it was a heavy downpour was an understatement. It hit the ground with craters one after another, which was frightening to see.

Ah Cha echoed Xiao Se's words: "It's quite big. I don't know how long it will last."

Ah Wu was extremely anxious: "If the rain worsens and the water in the Ta River rises, it will be a problem for us to return to the tribe."

Xiao Se's pupils widened, this was really a big problem.
