Chapter 11: New Clothes!
By the time Lu Ning dragged the two snow leopards back to camp, it was almost sunset.
The red stone in his arms had already become cold, and Lu Ning built two campfires on the road, using up the last remaining flint, and finally returned to the camp shivering from the cold wind.
Today has been a fruitful day.
Two snow leopards, each weighing twice as much as him – that's why he came back so late.
Lu Ning skillfully peeled, picked tendons, deboned, and cut meat...... The two snow leopards were quickly disassembled into a pile of materials.
The fur of this thing is quite thick, and there is a thick layer of fat under the skin, no wonder it can't be a threat if you hit it with a stone.
Lu Ning sighed with emotion and roughly cleaned the fur and dried it next to the campfire.
After cleaning up the two monsters and roasting some meat at random, Lu Ning went to the field behind the tent to take a look.
The lantern plant had already bloomed, and it looked like it would bear fruit again in the near future.
In several other soil pits, shoots have already emerged.
"It's so good, it seems that we are not far from eating the vegetables I grow."
Lu Ning rubbed his hands, overjoyed.
In the next two days, Lu Ning still went out to hunt snow leopards as usual, but this time he did not kill a few more in one go, but only hunted one a day to facilitate transportation.
A few days later, the snow leopard's nest was completely emptied by Lu Ning, and his harvest was naturally huge.
Not only is there meat in the house these days, but there is also a lot left, and a corner of the broken house is frozen.
In addition, resources such as fur, bones, ligaments, and animal tendons have also been saved.
Today, the first furs had been processed, and Lu Ning took them off the shelf, took out a bone knife, bone needles and silk threads made of ligaments, and began to sew clothes.
As I said before, Lu Ning's needlework is very skilled. Although he didn't really make the clothes, according to the method on the drawings, a sleeveless animal skin waistcoat was quickly cut.
Lu Ning put the vest on his body and was very pleased.
This dress is far inferior to the big-name clothes bought in the mall in terms of appearance and craftsmanship, but Lu Ning feels that it is simply the best dress he has ever worn.
It's warm enough, after all.
Lu Ning didn't stop, continued to wrap himself in a beast skin skirt, and by the way, he cut a real leather belt with leftovers and tied it, and then carried a spear in a circle in his hand, putting his hand on the pergola.
This shape, coupled with the stick-like weapon in his hand, made him always have the urge to learn from a certain monkey.
After playing for a long time, Lu Ning finally stopped this somewhat middle two move, put the spear aside, and continued the work at hand.
A vest alone is naturally not enough, Lu Ning made two more sleeves and sewed them, followed by a fur vest, a fur scarf, and fur panties......
Anyway, I made a whole set, and there were many failed works during the period, such as the vest was bigger than the vest and couldn't be put on, and the underwear was reversed, and Mao Chongli ......
Then when he dismantled and redid it, he remembered that this thing didn't seem to have to be divided into inside and out, just turn it over......
In the end, Lu Ning made a rudimentary backpack with some leftover scraps, and finally used up all the first batch of materials.
Lu Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he looked up, the sky had been polished.
Only then did he realize that he was too involved in what he had done, and before he knew it, he had stayed up all night.
This is the end of the routine.
Lu Ning sighed for a moment, but he didn't care so much, he stood up in the direction of the rising sun, and stretched straight.
Looking at the full works on the ground, Lu Ning felt extremely satisfied.
This satisfaction lasted until he saw that the campfire was about to go out.
"This house is about to be demolished by me, why hasn't this cold winter ended......"
Lu Ning thought worriedly as he took a hand axe to remove a piece of wood from the wall of the ruined house with only one corner left, folded it into several parts, and added it to the campfire.
At this rate, this dilapidated house can burn for about ten days, but this cold winter has no sign of receding.
Although Lu Ning has been paying attention to the fuel he can collect when he goes out hunting these days, it is really a drop in the bucket.
"There's a forest on the snow leopard's side, so it would be nice if I could chop some firewood...... But I only have this hand axe, and at most I can cut off some branches or scrape some bark, which is still not enough. ”
Lu Ning thought about it, and couldn't think of any effective solution.
Build your own stone axe for logging?
Lu Ning touched his chin.
It seems like a good idea.
He had experience in making spears, and he wanted to come here to make axes, and it was about the same...... Right?
Get a wooden handle, polish an axe with cobblestone, and tie the two together with a straw rope - it seems like this is the case with primitive axes in TV dramas.
Some of the low-level stone axes in the game seem to look like this.
Anyway, it doesn't work - let's try it first. Lu Ning nodded and made a decision.
But there was no rush for the time being—Lu Ning let out a long yawn and slipped into the tent.
I'll touch it today.
……
As soon as he slept until noon, Lu Ning felt that his head hurt from sleeping.
It's better to have a regular schedule......
Lu Ning rubbed his temples and got up from the tent and walked around the back to take a look.
The first lantern plant has already hung with green fruits, and it looks inedible yet.
In addition, the three lantern plants grown from seeds are growing well, and the leaves are as clear and green as the first generation, and they are full of vitality.
The other seeds grew out of plants of different shapes, and Lu Ning had never seen them at all, and he didn't know if they were normal, let alone what they would grow into in the end.
But on the whole, it should be stable and good.
Lu Ning left the field satisfied, baked something to eat, and then went to find a suitable piece of wood and cobblestone.
Taking advantage of the fact that the dilapidated house was still enough to burn for a few days, Lu Ning planned to make a logging axe as soon as possible to chop firewood.
This time he didn't have any drawings to refer to, no one told him what details he needed to pay attention to, and he didn't even know what the finished product should look like, Lu Ning completely relied on his own imagination and the experience he had when making spears to make a tool from scratch.
It was much more difficult than he expected.
How long should the wooden handle be?
What shape should an axe be?
How can you tie the axe and handle together and be strong enough not to loosen from chopping?
Lu Ning didn't know anything about these, so he could only do it first with his head down, and then test and adjust.
A few days passed, and he picked up one after another the discarded axe handles, and the cobblestones of the right size in the vicinity, so Lu Ning had to go farther to find the stones.
Then he found that the wood of the broken house was too rotten and not strong enough, and although it had picked the best pieces of wood, it still broke when it was being chopped down.
Wood from broken houses cannot be used to make axes.
He's going to have to get some better wood.
You can't get wood without an axe.
Just when Lu Ning was worried about the wood, he didn't expect that this night, the ghost gave him a huge surprise.
