Chapter 18: The Ancient Menstrual Belt
In the morning, Heung-woo was woken up by the sound of wiping. Open your eyes and look in the direction the voice came from. Mia was seen squatting with her back to her, as if she was wiping the deck. Xingyu thought to himself: "Mop the ground early in the morning!" Wrong! Do you always wipe the same place? Xingyu asked curiously: "What are you wiping?" Bedwetting? When Miya heard that Xingyu was awake, she immediately turned around, hid her hands behind her back, and said with a slightly red face: "It's still early!" You can sleep a little longer! Xingyu saw Miya's awkward appearance, and after being stunned for a moment, he asked in surprise, "You can't really wet the bed, right?" Miya was so angry by Xingyu's words that she immediately picked up the quilt next to her and threw it at Xingyu's head, and roared viciously: "Don't take off the quilt, you can continue to sleep for me!" Miya continued to scold in her heart: "Really, if you don't get mad, you won't be obedient." ”
Xingyu, who was wronged in his heart, had to lie quietly with his head covered with the quilt. Heung-woo heard Mia hurriedly wipe it again and rushed out under the covers. Xingyu uncovered the quilt and sat up, looking curiously at the place where Miya wiped. Xingyu noticed that the original orange surface of the boat had become darker. Xingyu's mind flashed to the last year of elementary school, and there were often female classmates who were in the middle of class and suddenly lay on the table and cried. When the teacher walked over and asked, the class was kicked out of the classroom, and the teacher closed the doors and windows. Once, when a male teacher encountered this kind of thing, he rushed out of the classroom to ask the female teacher for help without asking. Heung-woo finally understands that it is Mia's aunt who has visited. After thinking about it, Xingyu asked Miya outside in a loud voice: "Do you have sanitary napkins?" Mia's coquettish voice came: "There is only one piece to spare." Xingyu thought to himself: "How long can a piece last?" I don't think I can wash it and reuse it, right? What to do? Where to find sanitary napkins in the vast sea? Xingyu began to think anxiously: "After the socks are folded, they should be usable, right?" Xingyu immediately rushed out of the lifeboat and ran to open the refrigerator. Heungwoo remembers that after the tsunami, none of them needed to wear shoes, and their shoes and socks were all kept in the refrigerator.
They didn't have scrap cloth, so Mia had to wipe the surface of the boat with the half-cut jeans she was wearing. Luckily, on the day of the tsunami, they were going to dive. So for convenience, in addition to wearing jeans, Mia also wore a pair of leggings that were also half-cut. Mia, who was washing jeans, saw Xingyu rummaging through the refrigerator and asked curiously, "What are you looking for?" Xingyu was busy looking for socks, and he replied without thinking about it: "I'm looking for socks to use as sanitary napkins for you." After Mia heard this, her face, which was still curious, immediately turned red. Mia roared shamefully, "Don't worry about you! I'll figure it out myself. Mia thought to herself, "Curiosity kills the cat." If you don't find something for him to do, I'm afraid he will continue to pester. So he said, "Just help me find my shoes in the refrigerator." ”
It was right that curiosity killed the cat, but after asking him to help, the cat's curiosity became even heavier. Xingyu couldn't figure it out: "Can shoes and sanitary napkins be connected together?" "Xingyu has to go back to the lifeboat with Miya to see what Miya does. Mia, who couldn't resist Xingyu, had to compromise and said: "Really! You're a big man here, how can I do such a private thing! You can only look, you are not allowed to ask, you are not allowed to speak. I saw Xingyu flashing innocent eyes: "I'm not a big man, I'm a little boy." I'll be obedient and don't ask. After listening to this, Mia almost fainted.
Mia cut the washed jeans into three strips of cloth 3 cm wide. Then he took out a sewing kit from his backpack, took out a makeup bag and threw it to Xingyu: "There are nail clippers and eyebrow scissors in it, you should fix your beard." It's a pity there are no razors. Xingyu's eyes widened and he only dared to nod his head, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so as not to be fooled and kicked out. Xingyu thought in surprise: "No wonder some people say that girls' bags are treasure bags." Miya really wanted to use this trick to lure Xingyu to talk and drive him out to cut his nails and trim his beard, thinking that Xingyu would finish repairing and get it done himself. But curious cats are not fooled. Mia had no choice but to continue. Mia first folded one end of the strip of cloth in half to allow the laces to pass through. When she was done, Mia stood up and put the sewn end on her pants, then blushing and wrapping the strip of cloth from her crotch to her waist. Fold the strip of cloth slightly lower at the back of the waist, and then sew it one centimeter behind the fold, and let the laces pass through. Fold the remaining strips of cloth into a stack between the two lugs, and then tie the shoelaces through the two lugs as a trouser belt around the waist. This is the menstrual belt used by ancient women. When the eldest aunt visited, one menstrual belt was definitely not enough, so Mia cut three strips of cloth so that they could be washed in turn.
The menstrual belt is done. Of course, Mia couldn't put it on in front of Heung-woo, so she kicked Heung-woo out and told him to go out to cut his nails and trim his beard. In fact, Xingyu already understood the design of the menstrual belt when Miya measured the second ear. So Xingyu, who satisfied his curiosity, obediently went out with a makeup bag.
After cutting his nails and trimming his beard, Heungwoo thought of making a drying rack for Mia. Xingyu picked up two long sticks from the sea, tied them to the handshake handles on both sides of the refrigerator, and let the long sticks stand upright and tilt slightly towards the back of the refrigerator. Then stand on the refrigerator and tie the ends of a rope to the ends of each end of two long sticks. A simple drying rack is complete without affecting the opening and closing of the cabinet door.
After Mia walked out of the lifeboat after completing the three menstrual periods, she looked at the simple drying rack and thought, "This kid is just restless, let him tidy himself up, but he even got the drying rack out." Although Mia thought so in her heart, it was sweet in her heart.
