Chapter 4: Making Shoes
"If you uninstall this system, the host will suffer unpredictable consequences, do you want to uninstall it?"
Then the mechanical voice without the slightest emotion was like a large basin of cold and biting water slammed on Tong Chen's head, damn, what? unpredictable consequences, what if I let myself disappear in this world forever? Even if it wasn't so miserable, if I lost an organ in my body, I couldn't bear it, I thought this system was so kind, but I didn't expect it to be so vicious, rely on...
Tong Chen, who was still smiling just now, suddenly burst like a balloon that had been blown up, and it wilted all of a sudden.
There is no greater pain in the world than this.
Tong Chen, who had been squatting on the ground for a long time, looked desperate and tired, but he still picked up the stone chips that had been thrown in the grass and continued to stand up and start the difficult work.
God didn't seem to pity him because of this, and the poplar tree fluttering in the wind seemed to be laughing at Tong Chen's indiscretion, and the fact is that the bark is still far away from falling.
Tong Chen, who had been grinding the bark for a long time, sat on the ground again weakly, staring at the blue sky for a while, feeling indescribably aggrieved and uncomfortable.
The more I thought about it, the more angry Tong Chen looked at anything, looking at the gray bark, Tong Chen snorted coldly, I don't believe it, I can't even peel off the bark, I will spend it with you today.
Tong Chen, who got up immediately, acted again, the sound of grinding skin was endless, during which Tong Chen endured the discomfort of the soles of his feet and found a few good stone chips again, and the hard work paid off, and finally, after a lot of effort, Tong Chen got two pieces of bark similar to the size of his feet.
According to the plan in his mind, Tong Chen immediately reached out and broke several branches with leaves, fortunately, these poplar trees have not been repaired all year round, and people can reach out to touch the branches when they stand under the trees, otherwise, he would have to climb the tree with his bare buttocks, that scene is unimaginable.
It was obviously much easier to peel the bark from a branch the thickness of a finger than it was to the trunk, and in a short time Tong Chen tore off several strips of bark.
Tong Chen's plan is to use the thicker bark of the trunk as the sole of the shoe, and the bark rope is the upper, which is simply to fix the rectangular bark on Tong Chen's feet.
The project is very simple, Tong Chen knocked four holes in the four corners of the bark with stones, and then stepped on the soles of his feet, and fixed them on his feet through the rope.
Tong Chen stood up and tried to take two steps, and then looked down at the shoes he made, although they were rough, but Tong Chen's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
"With shoes, it seems that you have to learn to make a simple grass skirt on TV to cover your shame", Tong Chen said just do it, as soon as the words fell, he began to break the thin branches with leaves growing on the branches, and then he took a relatively long bark rope to tie these branches respectively, picked up the skirt Tong Chen carefully tied around his waist.
Walking around, Tong Chen looked at the skirt he was wearing, although it still didn't completely cover the important places, but Tong Chen was still very satisfied, and he didn't bother to continue.
Time flies, and unconsciously, the scorching sun has hung high, Tong Chen couldn't help but touch his flattened belly, and looked up at the dazzling sunlight.
Although he didn't have time, it was almost noon now, what should he eat in this wilderness? Tong Chen couldn't help but think, and suddenly he remembered the red sour thorns he encountered on the way back.
Sea buckthorn is a deciduous shrub with dark green thin leaves, of course, people are most impressed by the thorns on the branches.
With the bark as a layer of protection, Tong Chen's scruples were much less, and his pace was naturally much faster than before.
He soon came to a small ravine, where the road was a little difficult to walk, with many ravines and covered with weeds, and one had to be careful with every step.
Finally came to the side of the sour thorn, Tong Chen naturally didn't say anything polite, and reached out to pick the small red fruit that was close at hand.
"Ah", I can't eat hot buns in a hurry, this sentence is also suitable for sour thorns, Tong Chen's right hand was punctured accidentally, and blood beads came out.
Damn, it's unlucky to be against me for everything, Tong Chen felt another wave of slander in his heart.
But Tong Chen, who had mixed feelings in his heart, couldn't calm down at all, so that the movements on his hands were also hairy, and as a result, even if Tong Chen ate sour thorns, his arm was stabbed in many places.
Tong Chen, the sour thorn fruit, also ate a lot for a while, but he felt that this little thing could only be sacrificed between his teeth, and it was a drop in the bucket.
Tong Chen didn't expect that in fact, sour thorn is still a plant that aids digestion, and the consequence can only be that the more it eats, the hungrier it becomes.
In fact, Tong Chen's stomach scream is getting louder and louder, Tong Chen doesn't understand a little, he just thinks that these foods can't fill his stomach at all.
Although people can live for seven days without eating, there is another saying: people are iron and rice are steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry.
Tong Chen has been suffering mentally and physically for half a day, and he has long been sleepy and tired.
Originally, it was estimated that three days would pass in the blink of an eye, but he didn't expect that it would only be half a day after such a long time, no matter how much, let's sleep first;Tong Chen thought to himself, and came to a grass with long grass, which was as soft as thick hairs.
At this time, Tong Chen, who couldn't take care of the cleanliness, lay down and fell asleep, and he was already tired, and soon fell asleep.
The reason why Tong Chen woke up was that he was awakened by freezing, he stood up and patted the soil on his body, and looked up to the west, the sun had gradually set.
His stomach was no longer ringing, but his hunger was even worse, and Tong Chen licked his dry lips, thinking that he had to find something to eat.
Tong Chen didn't have time to stay too long, so he returned to the sheep intestine path and continued to walk forward.
Tong Chen remembered that there was a mountain in Wild Boar Ridge where there were many apricot trees, and he remembered that he often came to hunt apricots to eat when he was a child.
After a sleep, Tong Chen's spirit improved a lot, the further he went, the sheep intestine trail was gone, but Tong Chen still believed in his own memory, and gradually climbed a bald mountain that was not very high with his impression, and when he was tired of climbing, he stopped to rest.
If there were no apricots on the mountain, then I would really despair, and the worried Tong Chen finally climbed to the top of the mountain despite the constant annoyance of weeds on his calves and feet.
Before seeing the tree, he smelled its fragrance first, Tong Chen's heart was full of joy, and after walking for a while, he finally saw the long-awaited apricot tree.
There are many apricot trees, there are dozens of them, and the good news is that these apricot trees are not very tall and extremely luxuriant, which shows that they have not been harassed by humans for a long time.
The attractive yellow apricots are set off by the oval green leaves, which is even more eye-catching.
The tempting fruity aroma aroused the gluttony in Tong Chen's stomach, and his stomach cried again, as if to say: I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I want to eat.
Tong Chen no longer appreciated the beautiful scenery in front of him, walked a few steps quickly, came to an apricot tree, reached out and grabbed a few apricots, picked one up with his left hand and threw it into his mouth, spit out the apricot kernel, it is not delicious.
