Chapter 290: A long-lost feeling

After a short rest in the house, Zhang Yang added some firewood to the small fire pit, and then closed the door and came to the outside of the cabin.

Looking at the leafy and vibrant in front of him, breathing in the fresh and vibrant air, and the faint smell of decay peculiar to the forest, Zhang Yang found the direction of the jungle in front of the cabin and walked forward.

"Okay, this afternoon we have to hurry up and prepare the things and covers for the night's bed, otherwise it will be a little cold even if the fire is lit in this sleep." ”

After deciding on the content of the afternoon's work tasks, he talked to the people in the live broadcast room, and then went forward to find hay suitable for weaving straw mats.

Straw mat refers to a mat woven from flexible grass stems, which was generally used as a mat for sitting on the ground in ancient times and even in the countryside today, and was also spread on the bed in the past, which was an economical and practical household item, and was also used to build a roof for waterproofing in the past.

In fact, as long as it is the kind of grass that grows, you can make straw mats, but they are all used hay, fortunately, it is summer, and the hay should still be easy to find, even if it is a little wet, and then you can roast it directly with the fire, at least it will be usable.

500 meters?1 km?

Anyway, of course, it feels like I've walked a long distance, but when I come over, I basically leave a little mark on the trees along the way, so as not to find the way back.

As we go deeper and deeper into the jungle, there are fewer and fewer traces of human activity, the most obvious is that there is no place to stay on the next road, there is no machete, only a large thick wooden stick, and only some bushes that are easier to get out of the way can be made.

Fortunately, as he slowly approached the depths of the jungle, Zhang Yang found something he needed this afternoon, that is, wild grass that could be used to weave straw mats, and he actually saw a few willow trees near those wild grasses, which made him directly solve all the materials he needed at once.

At the edge of a patch of muddy grass grew a few low willow trees, their long branches drooping down with gravity, and almost as tall as Zhang Yang, and could be easily pulled down.

"I found it, these grasses on the ground are called cattails, which is an aquatic plant, a kind of wild vegetable that grows widely in our country, yes, this thing is a vegetable, the white and tender part of this grass and the tender grass sprouts on the ground can be used, when I was young and my grandfather wandered outside and had no food to eat, we would get a little of this kind of thing to eat, and the taste can be said to be refreshing and delicious. ”

Looking at the very familiar pu grass in front of him, Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child wandering with the old man, and couldn't help but fall into memories, but he quickly recovered.

"What's that? This weed can be eaten?"

"Of course I can eat it, this thing grows a lot on our side, and when I was young, I often liked to take it home to cook and eat. ”

"We call it this grass cattail here, and it can be used to weave straw mats and the like. ”

"Yes, yes, this thing can be eaten, we call it a water candle here, and it tastes good. ”

I don't know why this bush in front of me is still growing on the ground, and it is full of silt, obviously there is no shortage of water, but many of them have dried up, and it is estimated that the range of drying is about half the size, Zhang Yang stepped forward with the silt, squatted down and grabbed it casually and pulled it out with effort.

"That's right, I just want to use this grass to weave a straw mat, in fact, this grass can also be used as fodder, and the pollen of the male flower, which is commonly known as 'Puhuang', also has medicinal and tonic functions, and this thing is also a raw material for paper and rayon. ”

The next work is simple, Zhang Yang introduced the grass in the grass in front of him, he stepped on the silt and bent down and stretched out his two hands to pull it up frantically, there was a lot of hay that fell on the ground, he estimated that he could make two straw mats, one for laying on the ground, and one for covering his body, even if he slept in the field after leaving the cabin, there could be something to cover.

Since becoming a second-level anchor and improving his physical fitness in an all-round way, Zhang Yang seems to have not done this kind of heavy physical labor for a long time, and suddenly he seems to have found a long-lost feeling, and the whole person is also full of interest when he starts working, and the movements of his hands are also fast and without stopping, and after a while, the entire grass seems to be 18 The position was cleared out by him, leaving behind him a place of uprooted grass.

Don't look at the position of about 18, but this amount is enough for him to weave a straw mat.

After more than an hour, Zhang Yang stopped the movements in his hands, slowly straightened up his body, which felt a little stiff because of bending over for a long time, gently twisted a few times and moved his body, turned his head to look at the fruits of labor in that place, and he couldn't help but say with emotion.

"I've been working like this for a long time, it's been a long time. ”

The ground was full of dried grass, which was enough to weave straw sandals, and when the willow branches were collected, they would come back and tie up all the grass and go back.

"Almost, this amount should be able to weave two straw mats, let's go get some willow branches." ”

It's just that when he walked to the willow tree again, Zhang Yang first came to a few big bluestones not far away, and some people in the live broadcast room were a little puzzled by his idea of getting willow branches, you said that you can understand how to make some licorice straw mats, what are you doing with willow branches, this thing doesn't seem to be of much use.

"What's the use of willow branches?

"You're still fighting flies, you upstairs. ”

"Brother Yang, do you want to use willow branches to weave baskets?"

"What's the matter? Isn't it made of bamboo?"

"There is no bamboo in Changbai Mountain, you can only find some substitutes, and even if there is bamboo, you have to find a way to split the bamboo." ”

Coming to the vicinity of those large bluestones, Zhang Yang originally planned to smash the stones to make a small stone knife, but after the past, he found that he didn't need to get it, and he didn't know when it was smashed under a few large bluestones, and a stone chip that looked relatively sharp was lying quietly on the ground at this time, about the size of a palm, and it was covered with dirt.

He picked up the small stone flake, and after getting the dirt on it, he stretched out his finger to feel the sharp position of the stone flake and then nodded with satisfaction, and then turned around and walked towards the willow trees, and at the same time saw the barrage in the live broadcast room, and found that someone actually guessed his thoughts, so he said with a smile.

"That's right, I just want to get some willow branches to make a basket, after all, I need a basket for ingredients next, otherwise if I see something good on the road, there is no place to put it, normally it should be made of bamboo, but there is no bamboo here in Changbai Mountain, we can only use willow branches instead, the effect should still be okay, at least there is no problem with a few days in a short time." ”

The willow trees not far away are about a height of about one and a half of Zhang Yang's height, and the thin willow sticks hang low to the ground, and the willow leaves that look vigorous grow on them, and even those willows look green and full of vitality.

This kind of wicker is actually the softest, and it is also the most difficult to break, after all, this thing is very tough, and it can only be done with the help of tools, and I don't know that it is not so difficult to weave baskets next, Zhang Yang can only find those at the bottom of the thinner ones, and the thick ones can't be used.

"Hey, this stone piece is pretty good, it can be used as a knife, it looks like we have the tools to deal with that hare at night, haha." ”
