So, in the next few days, we were busy, Bai Lu was mainly responsible for the collection of flaxseeds, but had to turn out of the main entrance, bypassing the wooden fence outside to collect and find, so it was more dangerous, I accompanied her, and when she was collecting, I was responsible for sentry, and I used a saw to see an exit on the right fence as much as possible, so as to facilitate future collection and reduce the danger.

After Yingchun collected some willow branches, made some dustpans and baskets in the way of willow weaving, and then made a mud urn for oil, placed the basket on the mud urn, and placed the mud urn not far from the rotating shaft, Yingchun made some hands and feet on the shaft, and the king sawed out a suitable gear shape with wood, put it to fit, and the gear connected the wood bearing and two wood chips.

Once the pestle is opened and the waterwheel is in motion, the chips are driven by the power to form a rotational sequence, and the preparation is done.

Half of the flaxseed collected is left for future planting, and the other half is washed, shelled, and crushed, and then fried in a stainless steel pot for about 10 minutes.

After that, wrap it in a cloth, hang it on a piece of wood, pull the iron pestle, the waterwheel begins to be driven by the water flow and begins to rotate, and the gears that connect the waterwheel rotate to form a chain reaction to drive other gears, until it affects the transverse gear, and the transverse gear then affects the gear of the spring to build and expand, so it drives the two wood chips back and forth one by one, squeezing the fried flaxseed in the cloth.

Because it is a kind of labor-saving lever principle, saving distance and more strength, so the force brought by the rotation of the waterwheel is not small, coupled with the continuous squeezing in turns, so ten times and a hundred times, it is enough to let the oil in the flaxseed flow down, flowing through the woven basket, that is, the coarse oil, sieving off a lot of glue from the basket, until it completely flows into the mud urn, it is almost edible linseed oil.

As for washing, dehydration, etc., it can't be done for the time being, but it can already be used for stir-frying or lighting an oil lamp, and it is all fine.

Then every time you cut some strings on the string, you can barely use it as a wick, so these nights, everyone holds a bowl, pours flax oil into it, and then lights the wick, it can be used as an oil lamp, in addition, these flax oil can also be stir-fried and mixed directly with noodles can be delicious, this day will be more and more wishful.

It's just that this last process uses the role of the waterwheel to generate kinetic energy, and the only drawback is that as soon as the waterwheel runs, the water will flow out of the channel, which is a waste, so the wooden oxen and horses are used to carry the wooden barrel to receive the water, and the water is poured back into the spring pool once for a period of time, so as not to have too many puddles in the land.

The door on the right side has been opened with the efforts of Yingchun and me, and at the same time, Yingchun used mortise and tenon kung fu to splice the sawn wood chips, and made a barn door that can be slid left and right, so that we can go out easily, and when we come back, we can also push the door and lock the wooden bolt, beware of wild beasts from invading at night.

The girls also made a lot of baskets using the willow weaving method, some for washing clothes, some for flax seeds, and one larger for flax stalks, for which they also made a large wooden barrel, which was also used for the process.

I didn't mix this matter, mostly the girls were playing, they plucked the flax one by one, loaded it in the wooden ox and the horse and transported it back, and then poured it into a large wooden barrel and poured warm water, which is the so-called hemp, and then beat it with a wooden stick, after beating it into hemp, it began to be finished, and Yingchun made a comb, they carried out the combing, and gradually began to be organized, after forming a strip and drawing, they made out the roving, that is, stretching and twisting, winding, etc.

After boiling and bleaching, and then more delicate pulling, twisted into threads, they almost survived, and then they began to weave their own things to play, what linen bags, linen curtains, linen sheets, linen slippers, and even linen clothes to wear, during which time everyone could not go out much, so they were busy at home, but they could also have a good time.

They seemed to be fed up with the camouflage uniforms of those dead people, and each of them made a dress for themselves with knitting, not only for speed, but also for workmanship, and let me be a judge, they wore their own production, let me rate, give a rating, and all of a sudden, this dangerous place became a place for their catwalk, which shocked me a little.

The work of welcoming spring is the most ingenious, the clothes are very fine, it is an off-the-shoulder knitted sweater, and the white dew is a cardigan jacket, which is more regular, but it is definitely the most practical, after all, there are pockets, and the hot can be taken off, and the cold can be worn, and Yunwen's, naturally the most beautiful, and the most careful, is a fairy flax skirt, and there is a woven flower in front of the chest, which is as beautiful as a person.

They each showed me, and they were not convinced, but I was so happy to see it, and I was dizzying!

In order not to offend anyone, I learned to be smart this time, no rating, no ranking, just a compliment, after the praise of their hearts, they forgot what the difference between high and low, and I also successfully avoided the disaster of cholera in a woman's relationship.

In the blink of an eye, everyone has been in this post station for half a month, during this time everyone is immersed in joy, but also forgot a lot of sorrow, I have almost forgotten those previous worries, most of the time is to chat with them, pick food, by the way in the place where the flax was pulled out to replant the seeds, for the next year to continue to use.

It was only in the middle of the night that I felt more and more unwell, wondering what the orangutans had been doing lately, whether they had completed the so-called sacrifice, otherwise why there would be no more movement or traces, which was unsettling.

Dog days passed in a blink of an eye, and the hot and dry air of the weather had been declining, and this evening, everyone sat around the dinner table, eating fried luncheon meat with wild vegetables fried in flax oil, stewed mushrooms with herbs, a plate of mixed vegetables, and steamed buns on a soil plate, and then ate dinner.

However, when they were eating happily, they suddenly heard a sound on the roof, and everyone immediately stopped the dishes and chopsticks.

Something is clearly being plucked on the roof! And listening to its direction, it is likely to jump in through our bedroom window.

I whispered to the girls, "Pour the charcoal from the stove on the ground and put it out, and hide with me in the backyard and don't make a sound." ”

So, we all picked up the pot together, and put the pot upside down to the earth, and covered it with soil, but I took them quickly towards the back door, and quietly opened the door to the backyard, and at the same time something on the other side had already entered the house, and listened to its movements, and when it moved, the sound was more frequent, but it was because of the two fists on the ground, and the fists and feet were walking, it should be those orangutans, and sure enough, they came, why did they come again tonight?

It gasped and wandered from side to side, and at the same time there were more and more voices coming from front to back, more than one coming, and they were indeed very smart, and I heard the sound continuing in all four directions, and it seemed that it was planning to search in four directions.

"Listen to me, all hide in the spring pool, don't take your head, and try to breathe in as much as possible before entering the water, it may take a long time." I said.

The girls now had to listen to my commands, and went into the water with me, and I took a deep breath and took the lead, and dived into the water, and she followed the same dumplings as she went into the water, and then the door was soon opened, and an orangutan ran over, and listened to its footsteps, and it stood there, not moving, and seemed to be observing.

However, after nearly a minute, it was still wandering around, and if it went on like this, I might be able to stand it again, but the girls would definitely not be able to stand it.

At this time, I turned my head in the water to see, due to the lack of oxygen, the girls were choking enough, and Yingchun and Yunwen were relatively worse, at this time Bai Lu did not hesitate to put her mouth at Yingchun, prolonging the oxygen content of the two in the water, and Yunwen couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately went to the water, I could only follow the example, pull Yunwen's neck, and stick to her tender lips.
