Chapter 30 Crafting Flying Tools

Next, David taught Muma the skills of weaving hanging baskets, and after drawing a rough sketch on the ground, Wooden Ma was responsible for going out to collect rattan and make hanging baskets near the entrance of the cave.

In addition to taking Zhuoya to observe and guide Muma's construction from time to time, David also began to teach Zhuoya English in the cave and tried to guide it to dig out his own stealth, fire-breathing and other skills.

Soon David discovered that Zhuoya's memory and learning ability were very amazing, and he could learn all kinds of words almost immediately, combined with body movements, and he could communicate with David and Muma in the simplest way in a few days.

For example, Muma asks Zoya, "Who is David?" Zhuoya would stretch out his left front and point at David and say, "Guard! ”

Q: Is it full? Zoya would take turns patting his chest with both front paws and saying, "Satie!" ”

There are also simple phrases such as it's time to sleep, grab the animal, etc., and Zoya also understands it as soon as he learns it.

Then it's time to dig into the skills. On this day, while Muma was out working, David said to Zoya, "Shall we change the game today?" ”

Zhuoya, who was squatting in Zhuowu's treasure and playing with stones, turned around and happily slapped each other with his front paws: "Game, game!" ”

David smiled and said to Zoya, "You, close your eyes, count, one to ten, and look for me!" ”

Zoya digested David's words, and after understanding, he nodded vigorously and said, "Babble! Then he began to close his eyes and began to shout in a loud voice: "One! II...".

David quickly ran to the other side of the cave and chose a rock, and hid behind it.

After a while, David didn't hear what sound Zhuoya continued to make after counting from one to ten, so he probed his brain to check, and suddenly felt a chill on the left side of his neck, and jumped up in a panic only to find that it was Zhuoya lying on the stone, teasing himself with his tail.

Seeing that David was taken aback, Zoya said, "Giggles! After laughing, he said, "Catch, catch!" ”

David pouted and asked, "How did you find me?" ”

Zhuoya flew into the air and hovered, wagging his tail up and down and said, "Breathe, breathe!" ”

It seems that this little guy is also very good at hearing...

Next, David closed his eyes and said to Zoya, "Now that you're hiding, I'll start counting, one!" Two..."

Deliberately counting in the pile of rubble, so that Zoya has nowhere to hide.

After counting to ten, David opened his eyes and first searched near the pile of rubble, but did not find Zoya.

Walking to the center of the cave, with the help of the increased eyesight from the firelight from the campfire, David carefully looked at the other places in the cave for a few minutes before he saw a small golden tail sticking out from behind a stalactite on the top of the cave.

After walking under the stalactite, he found that because Zoya had the consciousness of hiding, through the instructions issued by his brain, the cells in various parts of his body could gradually fade, so the originally golden little tail became a little dim.

"Come down, I see you!" David said with a smile.

Zhuoya flew down with a dazed face, twisted his head and said, "Go on!" Go on! ”

In this way, after more than a dozen rounds of hide and seek, although David was quickly found by Zoya even if he held his breath every time.

And because of the limited space in the cave, David stipulated that he could not hide outside the cave, so Zhuoya was found by David almost every time, so Zhuoya became more and more anxious, and the degree of fading of his body became more and more obvious, and finally he was able to achieve complete transparency.

Playing until Mulma returned to the cave when he was tired from work, the game of hide and seek ended with Zoya's complete victory, but David and Mulma's goal was thus achieved, and Zoya also understood that the command of "stealth" was to make others unable to see what he meant.

The next day, David began training, or rather developing, Zoya's fire-breathing abilities.

Although there was a bonfire in the cave, David thought that Zoya's concept of fire should not be too clear, so he pulled Zoya's wings and let him slowly approach the fire.

When the distance approached a certain range, Zoya was picked up by the heat from the bonfire and felt a little uncomfortable.

Then David said to Zoya, "Fire is a very hot, very dangerous thing, it can burn you, understand? ”

Zoya broke away from David's hands, retreated to a safe distance, and said, "Hot! Dangerous! ”

David said to Zoya, "You too can breathe fire." Then he took a twig, lit it at the other end, blew on the flames, and said to Zoya, "You, follow my example, and blow on the fire." ”

Zoya followed David's example, "Whew! Call! "I blew a few breaths on the flames, but found that there was no reaction except that the flames were bouncing in the opposite direction.

David thought for a moment and said, "You have to imagine, do you know what it means to imagine?" ”

Zoya said, "Yes. ”

David continued to bring the flame to Zoya's mouth and said, "Well, you can light a fire if you imagine yourself blowing." ”

Zhuoya tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said "Whew!" to the flames! The ground snorted with a puff of air.

"Boom!"

"Shhh Ah! Woooooo ”

After a string of flames, Zoya was provoked by the fire she spewed out, and rolled on the ground in pain.

David quickly picked up Zoya and rushed to the edge of the pool, throwing the whole dragon into the water.

After relieving for a while, Zhuoya climbed out of the pool, and said angrily while shaking the water: "The fire is not fun, the mouth hurts, it hurts!" ”

At this time, Mula happened to return to the cave, quickly dropped the tools in his hand, ran to Zoya's side, held its two chins and looked carefully, and found that Zoya's golden lips had become red, as if he had applied a circle of lipstick, but it didn't look like he had been burned.

Seeing Mu Ma looking at him with a resentful face, David scratched his head and said, "Fortunately, it wasn't hurt, I didn't expect it to be like this, it is estimated that Zhuoya inhaled back when he breathed fire, and it burned himself." ”

Muma rolled his eyes and said, "Then, don't worry, anyway, Zhuoya is still young, breathing fire skills, learn slowly." ”

After another ten days, the hanging basket woven by Muma was finally completed.

David looked around the dark brown hanging basket and was satisfied.

I saw that the outer middle and upper part of the main body of the circular hanging basket with a diameter of about one meter and a half were extended to the top, and the tops of the six thick ropes were tied into a dead knot, and a relatively thin but very strong rope was strung on the dead knot, so that Zhuoya could fly with two hind paws carrying the rope loop.

The bottom of the hanging basket is slightly flat, and the whole looks like a watermelon with a knife cut in the lower part. It can ensure that it will not roll when placed on the ground, and at a distance of 30 centimeters from the bottom, a small door more than half a meter wide is opened, and the three opposite corners of the small door have six small observation holes, divided into two layers, so that Muma and David can observe the outside situation through the small holes according to their respective heights.

The bottom of the hanging basket is paved with soft animal skin, and at the same time, its inner wall is also woven with two circles of handrails, one high and one low, which is convenient for the two monkeys to stabilize their bodies in flight, and at the same time, they can also use these two handrails combined with ropes to fix the goods.

In addition, Muma also weaves several rattan boxes of different sizes, and firmly ties the four corners of the bottom of the rattan box with ropes to fix them in the hanging basket, so that various goods can be sorted and placed.

At Zoya's strong request, Muma agreed that he could bring a small part of Zhuowu's treasures, and David felt that although the diamonds and crystals had no economic value at present, they could be used as tools and raw materials for industrial processing in the future, so he did not object.

As for the meteoric iron, Zhuo Wu collected too much at the beginning, and some of them were very large, and Mulma began to think that the more he took, the better, but after receiving David's assurance that he would look for iron ore to make iron, and emphasizing that it was not necessary to bring too much meteorite and increase the burden on Zhuoya, Mulma gave up the idea of transporting most of the meteorite back to his hometown to build weapons and tools for the villagers.

Then in the corner of the hanging basket, the four corners of the two monkeys' respective sleeping bags were firmly fixed on the floor of the hanging basket with ropes to ensure that in case Zhuoya missed or flew too fast and caused the hanging basket to roll, the two monkeys would not be injured, but I didn't expect this operation to save the lives of the two monkeys later.

After moving all kinds of weapons, tools, treasures, daily necessities and other materials to the hanging basket and placing them, and then re-plugging the hole with big stones and soil, the two monkeys and dragons started a journey back to their hometown to visit relatives.
