Chapter 197 196, Snake Egg
Night falls!
The campfire in the shelter was swaying wantonly, and Han Xuening and Lin Qingxue were drying the processed flax.
The discovery of flax brought people a big step closer to making fabric, and it was easier to obtain flax than silkworm farming.
"Teacher Han, I didn't expect that there are so many silk threads and ropes in the flax, if you dry these, you can use the method of knitting sweaters to make some clothes. Lin Qingxue washed a large bundle of flax rope in a wooden barrel, then wrung it out and hung it on the rope to dry.
"The production of flax is also quite difficult, and it needs to be kneaded into linen rope...... However, I think it's much easier than silk making. Han Xuening glanced not far away, Qin Fengyi was making something out of wood and bamboo, which seemed to be a loom.
"Yes, it's not easy to raise silkworms!" Lin Qingxue just bought mulberry leaves for the silkworm baby again, it is really hard to feed nearly a thousand silkworms, this day just to collect mulberry leaves has to be collected several times, and those white striped worms know how to eat all day long.
"Okay, actually, that's what I think!" Han Xuening sorted out the flax on the clothesline and distributed it evenly, "We make both flax and silk, linen should be quite rough, and it can be used to make clothes in the future, and the characteristic of silk is that it is soft and can be made into intimate clothing, in the future...... Your children need to dress better, too. ”
"Isn't it?" Lin Qingxue couldn't accept it, and was staring at Shui Lingling's big eyes and said angrily, "What kid, Teacher Han, you've become so naughty recently!"
Giving birth to Qin Fengyi, Lin Qingxue has thought about this question, as soon as the eldest aunt passes, Qin Fengyi will definitely snap himself without hesitation, he has been destroying himself in the past few days.
"Actually......" Han Xue stared at the sky dyed red by the sunset, there was nothing on the vast sea, only a few seabirds returned from the open sea, "I am ready to stay here for the rest of my life, maybe we will not be found." ”
"That'...... Can I choose not to have children?" Lin Qingxue blinked pitifully, "Giving birth to a child is super painful, and there is no advanced medical equipment here, so it is very dangerous to have a child." ”
"Actually...... Many people in foreign countries have children at home, and I once watched her sister give birth to her own children with my classmates. Han Xuening blinked, "And I have experience and can help you deliver babies." ”
"Teacher...... Don't be funny!" Lin Qingxue was frightened by this teacher, the beautiful teacher who has always been very strict has become more and more skinny recently.
"Hey, look at me, when I say flax, it's about having a baby. Han Xue Ning smiled slightly, apologized, and then condensed and said, "Actually, this kind of life is quite good, if there are no giant apes and cyborgs, this island is also a good resort, and it is also a pretty good experience to live in an isolated place for a lifetime and be forgotten by the outside world." ”
"You can't give up hope, isn't the satellite phone still connected today?" Lin Qingxue comforted, "And there is a member of the rescue team living next door to us, with her, we will definitely leave here alive." ”
Rescuers?
The satellite phone did get through, but only once, and then Lin Qingxue dialed many times, but there was no signal.
As for the members of the rescue team, the rescue team members were also helpless to leave the island......
"I have always believed in a truth, that is, when thinking about problems, you must not be too optimistic, you must think about the worst outcome, so that you can be mentally prepared and able to accept it calmly. Han Xuening said.
Qin Fengyi's weaving mechanism is about one-sixth of it, this thing is a big project, which requires some very tricky parts, which are more difficult to make, but fortunately, his tools are quite complete, and it is not so troublesome to make.
At this time!
Natasha and Catherine came, and Natasha walked in front and said with a smile, "Good evening, everyone, I found some snake eggs nearby, I want to share them with you, these snake eggs must be delicious to boil and eat." ”
Catherine was holding 3 snake eggs, which looked quite large, the size of a fist, and should have been python eggs.
"Where did you find these eggs?" Qin Fengyi didn't rush to pick up the snake eggs, but planned to ask them first.
"In the woods above, we went out to look for food during the day, and we stumbled upon these snake eggs, because there was no python around, so we brought them back. Natasha continued to have a warm smile, she was polite and her smile was infectious.
"Thanks to your help in the past few days, we have been able to survive, these snake eggs are a thank you gift, please don't refuse. Catherine insisted on leaving the snake egg, and Lin Qingxue saw that the attitude was so sincere, so she reached out and took it.
"Thank you for your snake eggs!" Han Xuening also nodded gratefully, although the two girls were not interested in snake eggs, they were also sent by others, and several of them were also neighbors.
"Okay, we won't disturb your meal!" Natasha took her leave as soon as she finished delivering the snake eggs, turned and left.
Qin Fengyi had been frowning since just now, and after Natasha left, he muttered, "In my impression, reticulated pythons usually stay next to snake eggs after laying eggs, and they haven't encountered big snakes?"
On the island, the python is so large that it can eat people, maybe the python guarding next to the snake's egg will let them take their own children?
"Don't be suspicious of the snake eggs sent by the neighbor, why don't I make you an omelette?" Lin Qingxue rejected the snake eggs from her bones, she was afraid that a snake would come out of it.
"I'd rather dig some turtle eggs from the beach and eat them!" Qin Fengyi pointed to the narrow sandy beach, where at least tens of thousands of turtle eggs were buried.
"Then we can't throw away the snake eggs, after all, they were sent by a neighbor. Lin Qingxue said with a wink.
Just when everyone was entangled, there was an exclamation not far away, as if it was Natasha's camp.
"Snake, what a snake!" Natasha exclaimed, her voice sharp and terrified.
"Big sister, hurry up...... Ah~~~!"
Catherine let out a hysterical scream.
"I'll go over and take a look!" Qin Fengyi took a machete and bow and arrows, and ran cautiously towards Natasha's side.
