【Master Mu is thinking about farting again. 】
[It's hard to say, before howling every day for a pet, the king appeared. 】
【Master Mu, go find Master Shu, I think she is on your mountain. 】
[Not necessarily, it’s just that there is a very similar river, and the vegetation is different. 】
【Master Shu doesn't seem like someone who can weave scarves. 】
[Why do girls have to knit scarves? My ex-boyfriend knit a scarf for me. 】
[Later he became an ex-boyfriend. 】
Mu Qing found a few thick and short branches from the firewood pile.
Use the measuring ruler made of bamboo fiber in the morning to measure a distance slightly longer than 65 on the ground, and hammer the branches into the ground with stones.
I picked two more long branches, peeled off the outer bark, and scraped off the uneven parts of the branches with a machete.
Gently pinch one end of the branch with your hand and pull the branch out of your palm.
He touched his reddened palm.
"No, this is still too rough."
"These two sticks are used as the frame for the weaving. If they are too thick, the whole piece of plantain cloth cannot be removed smoothly."
"I'll rock it and see if it's smoother."
After firing pottery, the most indispensable thing in the camp is pebbles of different sizes.
Muqing chose a relatively round stone with a size suitable for grasping.
Take a branch and squat next to the faucet.
Press the branch on the ground, soak it in water with a stone, and rub it back and forth on it.
After rubbing back and forth a few times, change direction and continue to polish the long stick.
Feeling that every direction has been polished, Mu Qing rinsed off the dirt on the long stick.
Feel it with the palm of your hand again.
"It's smoother than before, but it's still a bit rough."
"It seems that we still have to run."
Mu Qing put down his things, and walked quickly to the other side of the hillside.
It seems purposeful.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, Muqing went down the hillside to mow grass on the edge of the river embankment.
"Walking upstream yesterday, it's not that I didn't get anything at all, it's just that I didn't find food."
"This is called horsetail. Its skin has this kind of fine texture, and its texture is relatively rough. It can be used to polish wooden furniture."
"Don't look at its inconspicuous appearance, the effect of polishing furniture is quite good."
After a short distance with a machete, Mu Qing took it back to the camp.
Take the long stick that has been stoned.
Holding a handful of horsetail in the right hand, the left hand inserts a long stick into the center of the horsetail.
The long sticks went in and out, rubbing back and forth among the horsetails.
The friction between the wooden stick and the horsetail made a rustling sound.
Muqing brought the live ball closer to make these sounds more obvious.
"You can tell from this sound that the friction is still very large."
"This horsetail is like a big piece of sandpaper, which can polish the wooden stick very finely."
Mu Qing took out the wooden stick and felt it with his fingers.
"I think the effect of this horsetail will be better than sandpaper, and it is close to the level of polishing."
"This long stick is smooth now, and it should be fine after polishing it."
Mu Qing inserted the stick into the middle of the horsetail, and clenched it tightly with his right hand to increase the friction between the two.
[I thought today's work would be easy, but it took me so long just to prepare the materials. 】
【Mu Ye has always had a magic power to complicate simple things. 】
[That's a good thing to do, it's very simple to do it casually. 】
【How casual? 】
【So careful, it looks like you just wandered around casually, remembering everything along the way. 】
【Mu Ye: In the wilderness, learning to observe is very important. 】
Chapter 133 Make a Raft and Go Rafting
After repeated polishing for a long time, Muqing put the horsetail aside.
Hold the long wooden stick in the palm of your hand and gently pull it out.
"Yes, it's smoother than Dove."
"Treat the other one well, and we can start working."
Muqing picked up another long wooden stick, first polished the surface with a stone, and then used the horsetail for finishing.
Tie two slender wooden sticks slightly with ultra-thin bamboo wire, and fix them on the wood that was previously hammered into the ground.
Fix a piece of wood at both ends to increase the support of the whole frame.
The whole frame is not easily deformed when weaving.
"Look, I made another rectangular one, which looks like a frame for embroidery."
"I must have been a girl in my previous life, an ingenious master of spinning and embroidery."
With a rush, Mu Qing took out the rolled plantain rope from the shelter.
