Chapter 81: Silkworms

At first, Li Qi was pulled by Ling'er, and he always felt a little awkward, it should be a man to protect women, the key is that Ling'er is a little too tall, but as he ran, he actually had a strange feeling in his heart.

Happy!

He felt inexplicably happy!

There is a sense of security in this happiness.

Because the woods of this era are not the same concept as the woods of later generations, the lowest is also the Amazon jungle level, looking at the tree more than ten meters away, but if you don't pay attention, you may also trip over its roots.

But Ling'er ran so fast as if he was walking on the ground, so that Li Qi behind him had forgotten that he was in this wood, and even wanted to run like this, this kind of spiritual sublimation seemed to have sublimated his body.

Of course, this is just an illusion.

After running for a while, Ling'er suddenly stopped, pointed to a tree and said, "Look! ”

"Wait... Wait! Whew---Whew---! ”

"Richie?"

Ling'er looked back and saw Li Qi bending over, gasping for breath, and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Li Qi raised his head with difficulty, and saw that Ling'er was still so pure and moving, her face was not red, she was not panting, and she didn't even rise and fall her chest, and couldn't help but say, "I said that you are not human?" ”

The joy of his running just now forgot the limits of his body, causing him to stop and immediately gasp.

"Of course I'm human!"

Ling'er's eyes showed a glint of doubt: "I also want to ask if you are human, after running for so long, you gasp like this." ”

"I ......"

Li Qi is really embarrassed to argue, they are not expected to pant for breath after running for a while, so this topic should not be talked about more, the more they talk, the more they hurt their self-esteem, with one hand on their waist, they stood up straight, and said, "What do you want me to see?" ”

"Look!"

Ling'er stood on tiptoe and pointed to the trunk of a large tree in front of her.

Li Qi looked up and exclaimed, "Caterpillar." What a big caterpillar! Suddenly, I felt my scalp tingle.

I saw that there were two caterpillars the size of geckos crawling on the trunk of the big tree, which were still green.

Ling'er said: "Are you New Oriental called caterpillars?" ”

Li Qi turned around and said, "What is the name of your Big Tree Tribe?" ”

"Silkworm!"

"Silkworms?" Richie's eyes widened.

"That's right!"

Ling'er nodded.

Li Qi stepped forward again, looked up carefully, blinked, and said, "Could this be the legendary silkworm?" ”

He knew that there was a kind of green silkworm, which he had also seen in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was not so big, but that kind of silkworm was extremely rare, and the silk that was spit out was also extremely precious.

Ling'er grinned and said, "It turns out that you are also called silkworms!" ”

A flash of joy flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he said, "You use this silkworm to weave cloth?" ”

Ling'er nodded and said, "But it's not this silkworm." But this silkworm is also very remarkable, the silk it spits out, the clothes it weaves, and the stone spear can't be pierced."

Li Qi was surprised: "Really? So powerful? "Xindao, is there really any silkworm armor in this world?

Ling'er said: "What am I lying to you for?" ”

Richie looked at her suddenly.

Ling'er took a step back, her cheeks slightly red, and said vigilantly: "What are you looking at?" ”

Li Qi said thoughtfully: "No wonder your clothes are not scratched at all. ”

Ling'er's face flushed even more, and she whispered, "Aren't you the same?" ”

Why did it go around my head again, you really know how to do tai chi. Li Qi said: "Then you teach us to raise silkworms." ”

"Silkworm farming?"

Ling'er shook her head and said, "I didn't say that I wanted to raise silkworms?" ”

Li Qi was stunned and said: "How can you use silk to weave cloth without raising silkworms?" ”

"As long as you promise me one condition, I will tell you."

"Wow! Don't talk about conditions at every turn, it's very vulgar! ”

"Then forget it!"

"You say. You said. ”

Ling'er looked at the two silkworms with beautiful eyes and said, "As long as you promise me, you are not allowed to harm them in the future, and I will tell you how to get silk from them." ”

Li Qi said: "If you can guarantee that you can use their silk to weave cloth without harming them, I will promise you." ”

"I promise."

"I promise."

Ling'er smiled and said, "You have to remember, if you hurt them, you will never get their silk again." ”

Can they still resist? Li Qi was very puzzled in his heart, but as long as he weaved cloth, if there was cloth, of course he would not harm them, and he was not a pesticide, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" I remembered! ”

Ling'er said, "I discussed ...... with them just now. ”

"You talk to them?"

Li Qi looked at Ling'er in surprise and pointed to the silkworms on the tree.

Ling'er blinked and said, "I mean, I know their habits, they will spin silk and form cocoons here into pupa, and then break out of the cocoon into moths, and the moths will lay eggs in it, so you can come here every fifty days to pick up cocoons, but you are not allowed to go beyond this tree in the future, and I will also draw marks in other directions at that time, in short, if there are marks, you will not be able to cross them." ”

Richie listened to it with a fascination, "You... That's how you pick up silk and weave cloth? ”

Ling'er paused for a moment before saying, "It's a little different from this, but it's almost the same. ”

Li Qi scratched his head and said, "But... But can you guarantee that they'll all come here to cocoon? ”

Ling'er nodded straight and said, "They will, because they just like to gather together to form cocoons." ”

"Isn't that right?" Li Qi looked around, "If they like to concentrate here to form cocoons, then there should be a lot of cocoons here?" But I didn't even see a single silk. With that, he looked at Ling'er.

Ling'er blinked her shining beautiful eyes, "That... That's because.... Because it rained and washed away! ”

Li Qi said: "Impossible, I've seen the rain here, it's rain, it's rain, how can it be washed away." ”

"It was light rain, and the heavy rain washed away." Ling'er pouted, "Anyway, I said that they would form cocoons here, and they would form cocoons here, if you don't believe it, then forget it." ”

"Don't don't, I'm just asking, of course I believe you, unconditionally. Hehe! ”

Li Qi glanced at her, and thought to herself, she should have concealed some of the process, but if it is really as she said, it will save a lot of effort, and what I lack most now is manpower. Five fingers and one hand, said: "Fifty days? ”

Ling'er nodded and said, "Fifty days." ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I see." Also, I promise, we won't hurt them, but ... But what if it hurts inadvertently? ”

Ling'er said, "If you are not used to harming living beings, how can you inadvertently hurt them? ”

Li Qi said: "This is maybe, in case the moth flies on the stone, and I happen to have a butt to sit down, it will be embarrassing." ”

Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't worry, when you sit down, it will already fly away." ”

Li Qi said: "Are you mocking me for being clumsy? ”

"Nope!"

Ling'er put her hands behind her back and shook her head.

"It's better not to, otherwise, I'll let you taste my smart Ten Finger Skills!"

Li Qi snorted softly.

Ling'er suddenly asked, "You know how to weave?" ”

Li Qi said: "It will be a little, but I don't know if it is applicable, I have never seen this silkworm." ”

Ling'er said: "But I can only help you get here, and the weaving method of our Big Tree Tribe is not suitable here." ”

Li Qi blinked and said, "Why?" ”

Ling'er said: "There is no why, it just doesn't apply." ”

Oh! I realized, she must have seen how I spun and weaved. Li Qiwei groaned and said, "Okay, I'll figure it out myself." Let's go, we're going back, there's a lot of work to be done over there. ”

The two of them walked out of the woods again, and this time Li Qi did not dare to run after her, it was a death run for him.

"Aren't you afraid of falling when you run like this here?"

"I'm going to say I'm not afraid, and you're going to say I'm mocking you for being clumsy."

"You're not sarcastic, you're mocking."

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "You said you would wait fifty days to come here to pick up silkworm cocoons?" ”

"Hmm."

"That's... So what if you go back? ”

Ling'er smiled and said, "Do you want me to stay here?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Ling'er tilted her head slightly and said, "Let's see then." ”
