Chapter 46: A Needle Willow That Replaces Kudzu

Han Che and Yuga and the other soldiers divided into two routes, one was led by He Hanying to harvest thatch near the Ural Heights, and the other team followed Han Che Molan to the water source.

"Mo Lan, how do you draw water?"

Han Che asked, looking at the trickling stream.

Mo Lan stood by the stream, pointed to a narrow channel of the stream and said: "If you see that point, you have to send someone over to intercept the stream, otherwise the pressure of the stream is not enough, and the water will not flow!" But before that, you need to build a ditch. Start at the source and build until you reach the territory. ”

"It's not difficult to intercept the flow, but I'll go down with a few able-bodied people later, and use huge boulders to divert the water. But how to build this ditch? ”

Han Che asked with a frown.

"Ah, I naturally have a way!" Mo Lan patted Han Che's arm, and then asked rhetorically. "Has the man who took the pumice stone and sand returned?"

Before leaving, she asked Han Che to send a small team of men to collect sand and pumice stone first, and she should have collected almost all of them by this time.

Sure enough, Han Che nodded and said, "I've come back, and the sand and pumice stones have been transported over with animal skins and are ready for use over there." ”

"Okay, tell them to carry it over!" Mo Lan crouched down by the stream, and commanded as he pondered the structure of the ditch.

With a wave of his hand, several clansmen carried over the several large bags of pumice stone and sand that they had collected.

Mo Lan stretched out her hands from under the animal skin, and reached out to take the pumice stone with the cold cold, but before she could move, Han Che reached out to stop her.

"Mo Lan, it's too cold outside, let's come!"

After that, he was about to take the pumice stone in Mo Lan's hand, but Mo Lan shook his head and said, "No, the construction of the ditch at the beginning is a bit complicated, and you have to test the water pressure, and I don't understand it to you, so I'll come!" ”

After saying that, Mo Lan immediately started to build ditches little by little where the stream was diverted.

Because of the cold weather, it didn't take long for Mo Lan's hands to retract into the hides to keep warm, otherwise his whole hands would freeze and he would not be able to work at all. But she gritted her teeth and persevered, and she didn't stop until the prototype of the ditch was completed.

At this moment, one of her hands was already numb from the cold, and even her little face turned a little whiter.

"Mo Lan, are you okay?"

Han Che saw that Mo Lan was weak and pale, and no matter how many people watched, he directly reached out and hugged Mo Lan into his arms to keep warm.

Han Che's body was warm, which instantly made Mo Lan feel a burst of warmth. The stiff arm gradually recovered somewhat, and then she commanded everyone again.

"Seeing that the shape of the pumice stones I arranged is not, I will build a ditch according to this! After the pumice stone is built, it is covered with sand and clay. You see, I'll show it again. ”

Mo Lan said, pushing Han Che away and squatting down again.

Han Che immediately followed and half-squatted down, stretching out the animal skin on her body to resist the wind and cold.

Mo Lan once again used pumice stone, sand and clay to build a short trapezoidal ditch, and then looked at everyone: "That's it, do you understand?" ”

Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood, and Mo Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and her hands were already red from the cold.

Damn it! It's getting colder!

"Mo Lan, you rest here, I'll lead people to build a ditch, if there's anything wrong, you can guide us again."

Han Che helped Mo Lan to sit on a fur stone slab, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone immediately brought a bunch of Uri branches and lit a bonfire.

Soon, the bonfire burned, driving away the cold.

Burning a campfire in the wild is considered a luxury, and only she has this kind of treatment, right?

Mo Lan was heartbroken for a while, in fact, except for being a little behind, this place is really reassuring. At least there is no hustle and bustle of the world, and there is not so much intrigue and intrigue.

In contrast, life here is purer than mineral water. If she can solve the problem of food, clothing and cold, she doesn't mind staying here for a little longer, but unfortunately the conditions in this place are too poor!

Han Che took the others to build a ditch by the stream, and Mo Lan pointed out while baking the fire, and Han Che was able to get through at one point, which also made Mo Lan feel a lot more relieved.

Inadvertently seeing that the pair of grass shoes on Han Che's feet were already in tatters, Mo Lan couldn't help frowning.

Such grass shoes are common on the feet of wolf males. Saying that it is grass shoes is actually something like flip-flops twisted from weeds. Compared to the animal skin boots on their feet, the shoes on their feet can't be called shoes at all!

But in the Kumo Snow Plain, only frail females and the elderly and children can wear animal skin shoes that are relatively warm. Because hides are limited, males generally wear only grass shoes, or even simply step barefoot on the ground.

It's cold, the tribesmen don't even have a pair of decent cotton shoes, and many people have chilblains on their feet, which is really pitiful!

But to make shoes, you need cloth, there is no hemp here, what kind of yarn to weave?

Mo Lan was a little worried.

Little.

After thinking about it, she began to summon the little pet again.

Yes, master.

The little yellow dog appeared in a staggering manner.

I want to make some shoes and socks for my people, can you help me look up what I can use here?

Mo Lan asked inwardly with her chin cupped.

Footwear? Master, you are a clever woman who can't cook without rice! Not to mention the cold season, there is no kudzu in the warm season.

This time, even Xiaoxiao was helpless.

What the? Raw materials are so scarce?

Without the raw materials for weaving, there is no hope for clothes and shoes, what can I do?

Mo Lan couldn't help but lament. This Kumo Snow Field is really not a place for people!

Let's go back!

Mo Lan waved his hand listlessly. I secretly said in my heart, if I have the conditions in the future, I must leave this ghost place with my clansmen quickly!

Master!

Xiaoxiao didn't go back, squatting in place and calling Mo Lan.

How? Mo Lanhu asked suspiciously.

Although Ge Ma didn't have it, I knew that Ku Moxue originally had something that could be woven into cloth instead of Ge Ma.

When Mo Lan heard this, her eyes lit up immediately!

Little, come on, what's it?

Needle willow. It is a shrub with long, needle-like leaves, soft and flexible when boiled in boiling water, similar to kudzu, and should be used to sew clothes and shoes.

Xiaoxiao quickly gave the answer, and it was a pleasant surprise.

Mo Lan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: Is there a store in the tribe?

Yes, yes, but the orcs use it......

When firewood burns!

Before Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Mo Lan preemptively said it.

Then she wrinkled her nose and said: This cold wolf clan will destroy the heavens and burn all good things as firewood!

That's because they don't have the wisdom of their masters! Besides, the needle willow was no different from chicken ribs before it was treated. When the firewood is too fine, it can't be burned, and when the weapon is not enough, there is not much collection in the tribe. Because no one wants to put the effort into collecting such useless things!

Now it works! When I go back, I'll go to Cangdong to have a look, think about it, maybe it's okay, the clothes, hats, shoes and socks are all in place!

Mo Lan happily on the novel.

Then it's all up to the master! A little retirement!

The winged little yellow dog flapped his wings and disappeared.

Mo Lan looked up again and found that Han Che had already led people to build the ditch.

She immediately stood up and walked over, inspected back and forth a few times, and when she saw that there was no problem, she nodded and said, "It's okay, just continue to build like this until you reach the territory of the Cold Wolf Clan." ”

With that, she approached Han Che's side and said, "Explain the route to everyone, and then divide the clan into several groups." Someone is responsible for transporting pumice stone and sand, and someone is responsible for building, so that you should be able to repair the territory before dark. ”

Han Che still commanded, and dozens of clansmen began to divide labor and cooperate, and soon the work started in an orderly manner.

Under the command of the two of them, the ditch was built smoothly, and it was estimated that it would be repaired to the territory before dark.

Mo Lan breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Han Che beside him and said, "Go and take a look at the warm land, I'm worried about what problems they will encounter in building semi-crypt houses." ”

Han Che nodded when he heard this, and ordered the other clansmen to continue to rush to work, and took Mo Lan to the warm land.
