Chapter 89: Bark Cloth (4)
When the orcs returned with the poison wood, the tribe had just made lunch, and under the supervision of Di Mu, each orc carefully washed his hands with honey locusts and plant ashes. When harvesting the bark, the orcs wear special skin gloves, and they are not afraid that they will accidentally enter the sap of the poison wood if they have just touched it.
At first, Blue was still smiling and standing at the door of the cave to pick them up, but slowly, he realized that something was wrong.
Why is the bark in their hands so familiar? Shaking his head, it can't be, the cubs in the tribe all know the trees of the forbidden land, how can they bring them back?
After convincing himself, he looked up with a smile on his face, and suddenly, his eyelids jumped at the sight of the orcs walking behind the line carrying something in their hands.
Quickly threw down the things in his hand, and rushed up to scold the ears of an orc with one hand, and scolded: "You little rabbits! Don't know what this is? Who told you to bring back the dead tree? Yes? Throw it out! ”
The orcs who were twisted their ears grinned in pain, and the surrounding orcs looked at the scene in front of them a little uncertainly, so they asked the orcs of the forest tribes around them.
Di Mu touched his nose in embarrassment: "Patriarch Blue, don't worry. ”
Blue saw Di Mu slow down his tone: "Di Mu cubs, you don't know how disobedient these cubs are, and they don't go to the house for three days." How many times have they said not to go to the forbidden land, but they are good, not only did they go, but they also brought back all the dead trees. ”
"That's... Actually, I asked me to bring it back. ”
Blue's originally angry figure paused, and let go casually: "What are you doing in a daze?" Carry it back! ”
Di Mu smiled, and her heart was warm, and she was an elder who believed in her unconditionally and supported her.
After lunch, Blue came over and asked Di Mu secretly, "Cubs, why did you bring them back?" ”
"It's used to make clothes." Although Di Mu also lowered his voice, he was still caught by the orcs around him who were always watching them.
Di Mu simply gathered everyone together and talked about it, after all, the toxicity of poison dart wood is not a joke, and some things must be emphasized.
"This is poison arrowwood, also known as the blood seal throat tree, which is very toxic. But at the same time, its bark is an excellent material to use to make clothes. ”
"Cloth made from the bark of poison arrow wood can be used to sew clothes, shoes, belts, and so on. The resulting garment is not only soft and snuggling, but also tough and washable. It is lighter and thinner than the animal fur clothes we wear now, and it is more convenient for us to move. ”
"Because of the toxicity of the poison wood itself, the clothes made of it also have a certain insect repellent effect."
The orcs who heard Di Mu's introduction were a little excited, they had been wearing animal skin clothes for so many years, and it was the first time they had heard of clothes made of other materials.
Looking at the eager orcs, Di Mu said: "Since the arrow poison wood is highly toxic, I must emphasize a few points. ”
Next, Di Mu talked about the precautions, and it was strictly forbidden for the cubs to get close to the poison dart wood, and the treatment of the poison dart wood was also carried out outside the cave.
The next step is to make the bark cloth. It's still the old rule, soak the bark in water.
Considering the large number of orcs in the tribe and the huge amount of bark cloth needed to make clothes, Di Mu simply asked Wolf Yu to lead people to dig several earth pits outside the cave. The pit was built with relatively flat stones, and then filled with water to soak the bark of the trees.
