After nuclear sewage, I can hear the voices of plants

Chapter 31 "Making a Net Bag"

The road on the back mountain where I picked mushrooms last time is not far from Jiang Yan's home.

Follow the cement road at the door and you will encounter an intersection more than 100 meters west. Follow the intersection to the north and you will pass through the village and reach the edge of Bailong Mountain.

There is a row of poplar trees planted here, which were planted by an old man in the early days. It is said that they are meant to leave a mark for people who go up the mountain. As long as they see the poplar trees, that is the direction to go home.

Therefore, the poplar forest has become a symbol of entering the mountains.

The road where Jiang Yan picked mushrooms last time was actually at the end of the poplar tree, not even more than 30 meters away. The fungus at that time was picked near the poplar tree.

After hearing Dandelion's description, Jiang Yan stood up and looked at the sky. The sun had already set, and night was less than 10 minutes away.

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Putting aside her thoughts, Jiang Yan returned to the house.

. . . . .

The next day.

Jiang Yan got up early in the morning, washed up briefly, then lit the stove and prepared to make some breakfast.

The water in the pot gradually boiled. Jiang Yan gnawed off a piece of corn and returned to the storage room, thinking about making some tools.

Catching a chicken is not an easy task. Chickens run very fast and are flexible. Catching them with bare hands will definitely waste a lot of time, and if you use a bow and arrow, it will easily cause damage.

Jiang Yan did not want to eat meat this time, but wanted the chicken to lay eggs, so she had to ensure that the chicks were intact.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan took out a nylon rope and kept thinking in his mind.

The best way to catch chickens is definitely a net bag, but I don’t have much experience in making net bag ginger smoke. I only know that it needs to be knotted constantly and then weaved into a net.

After thinking about it, Jiang Yan returned to the bedroom, took out the Doomsday Book, and started studying.

The weaving of the net bag is different from what Jiang Yan imagined. Jiang Yan originally thought that it was weaved with many ropes crossing each other horizontally and vertically, but the real weaving method is to make countless parallel threads, knotted in pairs, and then at the second knot, Tie a knot with the other two threads.

Overall, it is very simple. If you know a little bit about it, you will be able to skillfully master the method of making a net bag.

With the method of making the net bag in mind, Jiang Yan walked to the yard and looked for a suitable trunk.

There are a lot of steel materials stored in Jiang Yan's storage room, but it is too heavy for the net bag, and the best material is wood.

Jiang Yan had cut down a big tree at the door before, and the abundant branches on it fully met Jiang Yan's needs.

Walking to the branch, Jiang Yan rummaged through the piles of wooden sticks in front of him and pulled out one. Jiang Yan held it with both hands, feeling the weight of the latter.

"Too heavy."

Putting down the branch in his hand, Jiang Yan took out another one.

"It's too short."

After rummaging for a while, Jiang Yan took out another stick.

"Well, that's pretty good."

Holding it in the hand, the weight meets Jiang Yan's needs, and the length also meets Jiang Yan's needs to catch a chicken two meters away. The most important thing is that the overall look is very strong!
Taking the wooden stick with him, Jiang Yan returned to the storage room and turned out the nylon rope on the storage shelf. Jiang Yan unscrewed the heavy nylon rope and divided it into long and thin ropes.

Placing several nylon ropes in parallel, Jiang Yan cut off a small piece of nylon rope, tied all the ropes together, then straightened the ropes below and began to tie knots in twos.

The size of the mesh holes depends on the distance between the knots. For the purpose of catching chickens, the knots do not need to be too close.

However, Jiang Yan still tied the knots more tightly, because she didn't know if she wanted to catch chickens, she could also use this net bag to catch fish!
Sitting on the chair, Jiang Yan patiently weaved a net bag. As more and more knots became available, the net Jiang Yan weaved became larger and larger.

"OK!"

After tying the last knot, Jiang Yan tied the end of the net bag. Looking at the one-meter-sized net bag in her hand, Jiang Yan showed a satisfied smile.

Taking out the steel wire prepared aside, Jiang Yan threaded the wire through the edge of the net bag, then tied it to a wooden stick nearby and nailed it shut.Maybe it was because of the many steel wires tied around it, but the net bag in his hand was much heavier than before. Jiang Yan wanted to operate it with one hand before, but now it seems that he can't dance without using both hands.

However, because of this, the entire mesh bag is extremely strong.

Carrying the net bag, Jiang Yan walked out of the room and looked at Zhao Dabai who was lazing in the courtyard. Jiang Yan stepped forward and raised the net bag in his hand.

"Ow!"

Suddenly being covered by a net bag, Zhao Dabai panicked instantly, his four claws flipped randomly, and Zhao Dabai ran around with panic on his face.

Feeling the power in her hands, Jiang Yan hurriedly lifted the net bag covering Zhao Dabai. In shock, Zhao Dabai turned around and looked at Jiang Yan, with a pair of beady eyes full of grievances.

"Oh, I'm playing with you."

After rubbing Zhao Dabai's face, Jiang Yan turned around, looked at Gao Chou who was reading seriously on the chair, and Jiang Yan spoke.

"I'm going out to catch some chickens and come back. Can I leave?"

After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Gao Chou glanced at the net bag in Jiang Yan's hand, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

Even if he went there, he wouldn't be able to help, and he might even be a drag on Jiang Yan, so it would be better to just recuperate at home.

Seeing that Gao Chou didn't want to go with him, Jiang Yan felt helpless, then walked to the latter's side and said.

"You'd better come with me. I can't handle the chickens I caught by myself. You follow me and help me get the chickens."

Seeing Jiang Yan's sincere eyes, Gao Chou stood up from his chair and agreed to Jiang Yan's invitation.

Picking up his own crutch, Gao Chou was stuffed into a snakeskin bag by Jiang Yan. Zhao Dabai, who was trying to be lazy, pulled up his ears by Jiang Yan and followed Jiang Yan out of the door with a face full of reluctance.

The last time he was attacked by a black panther, Jiang Yan was a little afraid of the wild animals outside. Due to nuclear radiation, many animals had some obvious mutations. Even Zhao Dabai's body was different from the previous black bear.

Different from the previous black bear, Zhao Dabai had a huge tail on the back of his butt, shaped like a squirrel, with stiff hair.

Jiang Yan was relatively accepting of this at first, but as life gradually got back on track, Jiang Yan became a little uncomfortable with these changes.

Standing on the spot, Jiang Yan released his consciousness. Within half a minute, Jiang Yan instantly found the location where the chickens were hidden around him.

"The cornfield south of the village."

Along the path, Jiang Yan walked straight in the direction of the chicken. Gao Chou on the side felt a little confused when he saw Jiang Yan being so straightforward.

Catching chickens should be a matter of luck, but Jiang Yan seemed to know everything about it.

This made Gao Chou couldn't help but think back to the very beginning, that battle in the field.

No one present, including Gao Chou himself, knew the specific location of the others in the grass, but Jiang Yan seemed to have a third eye. Not only did he not rely on anyone, he even knocked down everyone except the captain. .

At first, Gao Chou thought Jiang Yan knew the reason, but no matter how he thought about it later, he felt something was wrong.

Especially now, Jiang Yan seemed to know the chicken's location in advance, with clear goals and fast strides.

Looking at Jiang Yan in front of him, Gao Chou had doubts on his face.

Jiang Yan naturally didn't hear what Gao Chou was thinking behind him, but as he continued along the path, Jiang Yan finally arrived at his destination.

This is a wasteland to the south of the village. The villagers used to plant a lot of corn. However, with the extinction of humans, the land gradually became deserted and even many trees grew.

"Where's the chick?"

With her eyes closed, Jiang Yan released her consciousness.

In just three seconds, the surrounding plants immediately announced the location of the chick.

"Southeast, 50 meters away."
