Chapter 35 The Most Primitive Loom

"Yun, can you pass on the skills of making fish cards to everyone tomorrow, can you?"

After eating and drinking, Wu began to ask Fengyun.

"no problem."

"Very good. I think everyone will remember your kindness."

"Wu, I also have one thing I want everyone to help with. I wonder if I can?"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

There was a hint of nervousness in Wu's expression.

He was a little worried that he would make a request that would embarrass him, and he couldn't refuse him directly.

"It's nothing serious. I want everyone to dig some wild vegetables for me."

"It turned out to be digging wild vegetables."

Wu relaxed.

"What do you want wild vegetables for?"

"Eat. I'm going to store some wild vegetables for winter."

"I want it now? It's still a long time until winter. When it really comes winter, won't the wild vegetables all rot?"

"I'm going to pickle them. After they're pickled, there's no problem keeping them until winter."

"How much are you going to want?"

"A lot. Otherwise I wouldn't ask for help. I'll just dig it myself."

"No problem. I'll tell everyone tomorrow. They shouldn't refuse. After all, it's not difficult. It just takes some time."

Wu agreed to Fengyun's request.

"It's not good, it's not good..."

Zhu rushed in suddenly, yelling loudly while running.

"Zhu, drink your saliva first, and speak slowly. There is nothing that cannot be solved with the presence of a witch."

Fengyun handed over a bowl of clear water.

Gudong Gudong...

Zhu took the bowl and poured it down.

"Rego is surrounded by everyone."

Zhu obviously relaxed and spoke clearly.

"Why do you surround Boy Lei? He didn't do anything to offend everyone."

Shaking his head in confusion.

"If I'm not wrong, everyone surrounded Lei Ge because of the fish, right?"

Fengyun gave his inference.

Fish, everyone brought back some of them when they came back, and for the rest, after eating, Lei offered to bring them all back.

"Yun, you guessed right, it's because of the fish."

Bamboo nodded.

"Wu, I still have to ask you to come forward in this matter."

Fengyun turned his head, looked at Wu, and asked him for help.

"This is my job, and I will go if you don't tell me."

Wu stood up and walked outside.

Fengyun didn't follow, and decided to stay and wait for the result, he didn't want to involve himself in it.

It didn't take long, about a quarter of an hour.

Wu's figure appeared again, followed by Lei, he was a little embarrassed, his face was flushed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his breathing was a little short of breath.

"Yun, I didn't bring the fish back, but I've already told everyone. Whoever gets the fish has to send wild vegetables twenty times their weight within three days. Do you have any objection to me doing this?"

"Wu handled it very well. I have no complaints."

Fengyun was not surprised that Wu didn't bring back the fish.

Rare things are valuable, and many people in the tribe have never eaten fish at all. Now that they see so many fish, how can they let them go.

Forcibly taking the fish back might cause riots. This is Wu, and he doesn't want to see it.

"Yun, I'm going back first."

After sitting for a while, Wu stood up.

"Wu, wait a minute."

Fengyun immediately stood up and stopped Wu.

"Yun, what else do you want?"

"I'm not going to teach the skills of making fish cards. I want Lei Ge and Zhuo to do it for me. It's not complicated anyway, and I can explain it clearly."

"Why?"

Wu frowned slightly,

Obviously a little dissatisfied.

He asked Fengyun to teach everyone the skills of making fish cards, not only because he is the inventor of fish cards, he can explain it more clearly, but also for a more important consideration.

He wanted to use this to establish Fengyun's status and prestige in the tribe.

In this way, one day, when he announces him as the leader of the tribe, everyone will not object, will support him, and will be able to work together to make the tribe move towards a real revival, and even create unprecedented glory.

"Wu, you misunderstood. I didn't do this to be lazy."

Fengyun was keenly aware of Wu's dissatisfaction, and felt that it was necessary to explain a little bit.

"oh?"

"I want to hurry up and make fishhooks. Now only I can make fishhooks, and I want to spare some time to make more fishhooks so that everyone can catch fish as soon as possible."

The main reason is that he wants to use a fishhook to make some deals with people, and what he wants to do next, he can't do it alone.

"Yun, I understand what you mean. You are thinking of the tribe. Well, let Lei and Zhu teach everyone the skills of making fish cards instead of you. Well, I can't let you do it for nothing. Whoever wants a fishhook, you You can make some requests, as long as they are not excessive. I will go back."

"Wu, don't go yet. I have one more thing to say."

Fengyun stopped Wu again.

"What is it?"

"I have nothing to do. I have come up with a new material for making clothes. I want you to see if it is worth promoting."

"A new material for making clothes? What is it? Show me quickly."

Wu showed great interest and asked urgently.

Dressing is a difficult problem that has always troubled him. He has thought a lot, but he still hasn't thought of a solution.

Animal skin can be used as a material for making clothes, but the processing technology is not up to standard, the smell is particularly unpleasant, and there are problems of mildew and insects.

Many people are unwilling to accept it, and they even prefer to cover their bodies with leaves made of clothes unless necessary.

As for the skins of wild beasts, no one wants to use them to make clothes.

In general, they are relatively thick, and after drying, they will become very hard, which is too difficult to make clothes.

Even if it is barely made into clothes, it is extremely uncomfortable to wear on the body. It is not only painful, but also wears out the skin.

Now hearing that Fengyun has a new material for making clothes, to Wu, it is simply a rain after a long drought.

In fact, not only him, Bao, Lei and Zhu are also looking forward to it, and the problem of dressing has always troubled them.

"Wait a minute. I'll get it right away."

Feng Yun turned around and walked into the room, everyone's eyes followed him, and if they hadn't tried their best to restrain themselves, they might have followed him closely.

After a while, Fengyun came out of the room with something extra in his hand, which was a handkerchief-sized sheet.

Everyone's gazes were all focused on the sheet, without blinking, wanting to see it clearly and clearly.

"Wow, this is sackcloth. Cloth is what I call it because it is woven from the skin of a plant I named hemp."

Feng Yun handed the piece of linen to Wu and explained.

"well……"

Wu lightly stroked/touched the linen piece, his movements were extremely gentle, as if it was some kind of peerless treasure, and a little more force in his hands would break it.

"Wu, don't just look at it for yourself, let me open my eyes too."

Seeing that Wu Jiang was holding the piece of linen in his hand, Bao was a little unhappy, and stretched out his big hand to ask for it.

"for you."

The witch handed the piece of linen to Bao, but he seemed very reluctant.

"Yes, it is very soft. If it can be made into clothes, it will be comfortable to wear."

Brutely gather five fingers, let the linen piece fully contact with the palm, feel its texture, very satisfied.

"Boy Lei, feel it too."

Storm handed the sackcloth to Lei.

Lei looked and looked, touched and touched, and then handed him to Zhu.

Bamboo returned it to Fengyun.

"Boy Yun, the new material you made is really good, but it's too small to cover even half an arm."

Bao looked at Fengyun with an expression of approval, but there was also regret in the approval.

"Bao, you still don't know Yun well enough. He will take out the piece of linen, which means that he has mastered the method of making a larger piece of linen."

Wu disagreed with Bao.

"Boy Yun, is what Wu said true?"

Bao directly asked Fengyun, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes."

Fengyun did not disappoint Bao and gave an affirmative answer.

"Really? Great. Can you tell me how exactly you did it?"

Bao took two steps to Fengyun's side, impatiently wanting to know the answer.

"wait for me."

Fengyun walked into the room again, and soon he came out, holding something in the shape of a stool in his hand.

"This is the tool with which I weave the sackcloth."

Fengyun put the things in his hands on the table.

Everyone, including Wu Du, surrounded him with a huff, stretched his neck, and carefully looked at the objects on the table.

They found that there was no stool surface above the stool, but instead there were straight thin lines, which were parallel to each other.

Above the thread was a long object with pointed ends, and a thin thread was attached to it, and the thread was connected to a corner of the stool.

"Boy Yun, how do I use this thing?"

Bao looked at the objects on the table carefully, but still couldn't figure out its working principle.

"Bao, you still don't look carefully enough. According to my observation, this long strip should be the key. Yun, am I right?"

Wu looked at Fengyun and expressed his judgment.

"Wu, you are right. In fact, weaving linen is not difficult. As long as you do this, the shuttle..."

Fengyun picked up the long object and demonstrated it.

He threaded it first between the two thin threads closest to him, then between the second and third, then the third and fourth...

The threads pulled by the shuttle intertwined with those threads.

On the other side, Fengyun moved the thread to the end of the parallel thin line, tightened it, and then used the same method to let the shuttle return to the starting side along the gap between the thin lines.

Next is the repetition of the action.

Fengyun's movements are very skillful and very fast, even afterimages appear.

After a short time, the thin thread attached to the shuttle was used up.

He untied the thread from the shuttle, took another thread, joined it, and re-tied the other end of the thread to the shuttle.

Fengyun started a new round of weaving.

Although at this time, everyone saw the weaving process clearly, they did not intend to stop Fengyun.

They all had an idea in their hearts, wanting to see a piece of sackcloth being woven in front of their eyes.

After about an hour, Fengyun stopped, and before everyone's eyes was a piece of linen that was almost the same size as the one he took out before.
