Chapter 247 Leizu raises silkworms and draws silk

The woman caught by Lei Zu was immediately surprised.

Is this the same Lei Zu who was so ill just now and didn’t even like to eat?

Why did you suddenly become so powerful?

However, the woman didn't care to think about this. She broke away from Lei Zu's hand and pointed to the mountains in the distance.

"On that mountain, there are quite a few of these fruits!"

“However, because it wasn’t tasty, we didn’t pick up too many.”

Listening to this woman's words, Lei Zu wanted to laugh.

What kind of fruit is this? It is obviously a kind of insect that I have never seen before. It spit out silk threads and made something similar to a cave, and then lived in it.

"Take me to see it."

Lei Zu said, pulling the woman and walking in the direction the woman was pointing.

This woman was confused by Lei Zu's sudden operation, but out of respect for Huang Di and Lei Zu, she still led the way and led Lei Zu towards the mountain peak.

The other women, seeing Lei Zu and the others leaving, hurriedly followed them.

After a period of trekking, Lei Zu and others also arrived at the foot of the mountain the woman just mentioned.

I saw that a large area of ​​trees that I had never seen before was covered with these fruit-like things.

"Here, Leizu, it's this strange tree, full of these strange fruits."

The woman who was held by Leizu was finally freed at this time. She pointed to the tree beside her and let Leizu look at the strange fruits on the tree.

Now, Lei Zu could no longer care about the woman beside him. She was completely attracted by the vast woods all over the mountains and plains.

According to Leizu's judgment, this fruit should be the nest of some kind of insect, and this kind of insect likes to eat the leaves of this tree very much.

"Help me pick some of these fruits, quick!"

Leizu said, taking action first.

Following Leizu's actions, the other women also woke up from their dreams and hurriedly helped Leizu collect this strange fruit.

"Leizu, this fruit is so unpalatable, what do you want it for?"

A woman complained a little while collecting this strange fruit.

"Yes, Leizu, if I had known you wanted it, we would have stepped on it more just now."

Another woman with thick eyebrows also echoed.

"You guys, just pick it and take it back. I'll be of great use to you!"

Lei Zu gave up, but his hand movements were not slow at all. After a while, several women collected a lot of these strange fruits and returned home with a full load.

After returning to the tribe and saying goodbye to several women, Lei Zu returned to his cave and began to study this strange fruit.

Lei Zu carefully dug open the strange fruit with his nails until he saw strands of silk-like things.

"If you collect these threads and use them to make clothes, they will be very thin."

Because the Yellow Emperor issued a dress order, women such as Lei Zu also mastered the most basic skills of making clothes.

For example, clothes can be woven from fibers inside trees, or clothes can be woven from tough grass.

Therefore, it was not difficult for Leizu to weave silk threads into clothes.

After Leizu's unremitting efforts, in one afternoon, Leizu successfully opened several strange fruits and obtained a pile of silk threads.

Lei Zu found a thin wooden stick and wrapped all the hard-won silk thread around it.

At this time, Huangdi guided the people in the tribe to return after completing their farm work.

As soon as I came back, I saw Lei Zu sitting outside the cave, tinkering with this strange fruit. Huang Di was a little surprised. When he went out, Leizu was still very uncomfortable and lay groaning in the cave.

How come Lei Zu was so alive in just one afternoon?

"Leizu, you are sick. If you don't have a good rest in the cave, why are you going outside?"

Huang Di felt a little distressed and asked about Lei Zu.

"Huang Emperor, you came back just in time. Look, what is this?"

With that said, Leizu showed the silk thread he had processed to Huang Di like a treasure.

Huang Di was also very happy when he saw the thin threads on the small wooden stick.

As an expert in agriculture, Huang Di could tell at a glance that this should be the silk spun by some kind of insect.

Just like the silk spun by a spider, it is thin and tough.

However, this kind of fruit-shaped silk thread was the first time Huang Di saw it.

"Leizu, what is this, I have never seen it before."

Huang Di honestly and humbly asked Lei Zu for advice.

Lei Zu showed a bright smile and teased Huang Di.

"It turns out that the omniscient and all-knowing Yellow Emperor also has things he doesn't know?"

"Today, some women in the tribe saw that I was not feeling well and didn't want to eat, so they wanted to pick some wild fruits for me to appetize."

"In the end, I found this on the mountain over there. I thought it was a wild fruit and picked it back for me. I complained that it didn't taste good."

Thinking of those women, Lei Zu couldn't help but have a warm smile on his face.

"Then you discovered that this thing can pull silk?"

Huang Di looked at the thin silk thread and concluded that if it were made into clothes, it would be very thin and suitable for summer wear.

In this way, no one in the tribe will faint again due to the hot weather.

"Leizu, good job, you helped me solve a big problem."

As he spoke, Huangdi held Leizu's waist, lifted him up, and spun him around in circles.

"Put me down and I'll take you to the hillside to see this strange fruit."

"However, I want you to send some soldiers and horses to protect the hillside. Don't let animals and other things ruin it."

Huang Di nodded, Lei Zu's consideration was very reasonable.

So Huang Di immediately dispatched a small group of soldiers and asked them to follow him up the mountain.

After arriving on the hillside, Huang Di commanded his soldiers to pick all these strange fruits and transport them back to the tribe.

Those soldiers who were brought naturally became the initial guard force.

Leizu returned to the tribe and immediately got to work. She weaved the collected filaments into a piece of clothing!

Huang Di couldn't help but sigh while wearing the clothes Leizu had recently made.

"Leizu, these clothes are so light and thin. When you wear them, it feels like you are not wearing anything."

"Moreover, it has an icy cooling feeling when it comes into contact with the skin, which is perfect for summer wear."

Lei Zu nodded and secretly made up his mind.

We must promote this method of making clothes in the tribe!
