Chapter 10: The Mooncloth

"Of course not." Wen Xian didn't have a good air, "You can only go to the beach to pick up things when the tide is low, like this, when the sea water rises, you don't have to go." The current sea is the sea of death, and if you don't pay attention, you will die. ”

Especially at high tide, if a wave hits you, if you are unlucky enough to be swept into the sea, you may be buried in the belly of the fish.

Therefore, she always felt that it was not easy for the eleven of them to float to this desert island.

Of course, it could also be pure luck. After all, the other dozens of people didn't have that luck.

The low tide does not occur every day, and the low tide does not last long. So, most of the time, you have to find something else to do.

Zheng Rou glared and said, "So, we still have to go to the woods?" ”

There are fierce beasts in the woods, and their small arms and legs are afraid that they can only enter the mouth of the beast.

The others also looked at Wen Xian with anxious faces, waiting for her to give orders. Even the eel fillet in his hand doesn't feel fragrant.

The concubines don't eat much, even if there is little seafood and meat, they can eat enough. It's just the first time I ate these seafoods, and I couldn't hold my mouth.

The eel fillet is even more delicious, taste it, and if you are reluctant to finish it, you can still carry it yourself and make a snack later.

It's just that there is nothing else but saltiness.

Wen Xian is nostalgic for the small seafood in her previous life, and it is impossible to just eat seafood, you have to find wild vegetables or something. So, the woods, for sure, have to go.

She nodded in affirmation, "Go, of course." We can start by walking around the neighborhood, digging wild vegetables, and collecting firewood. In case it rains or the tide never recedes, it is good to have a reserve of food.

Don't be anxious, just be wary of wild beasts, not necessarily wild beasts. ”

"There is also the burden of the fourth, the fourth, you take a look first, what else can those things do." She continued, "I think the most important thing now is the menstrual cloth, we can cut the burden first, and we can make a few to make a few. ”

Now everyone's things, except for intimate clothing, are tacitly recognized as common. Only by working together can we survive.

What's more, the eleven of them are all adult women, and they will have menstruation every month, and menstrual cloth is the most important thing.

Although the body is cooled by soaking in the sea for a long time, the menstrual period may be postponed for a month. But there are exceptions, and if you are prepared in advance, you will always be prepared.

Zhou Hui nodded and carefully cleaned up the burden.

Earlier, she had been restraining herself and making food first. At this time, Wen Xian spoke, she couldn't help it anymore, and began to quickly check the baggage.

Fortunately, her burden is tied with a dead knot, and the things in it are the same, but the dry food is bad and can't be eaten.

In addition to the needle and thread, there are five moons, plus a change of underwear.

In addition, she actually hid something, and I don't know if it's still there.

Wen Xian had already checked these things, but seeing that Zhou Hui was still groping for the baggage, she knew it. Perhaps, that's just on the surface.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhou Hui's eyes lit up.

I saw Zhou Hui turn out the corner of the burden, and then tear it open with both hands, revealing a trace of golden yellow.

Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and continued to watch as Zhou Hui pulled the golden thing out of the baggage, and then handed it to her.

"Give it to me?"

She obviously didn't expect Zhou Hui to give her things, and she was a little surprised at the moment.

Although it is said to be public, this thing is the same as Jiang Lingling's hairpin, it is not a necessity for survival, and it does not need to be confiscated.

Zhou Hui still nodded and said: "These two gold leaves will be handed over to Mrs. for safekeeping, in case you go out one day, you can have a bottom." ”

Whether she is on the island or going out, she will probably follow Wen Xian.

In this case, it is better to hand over everything from the beginning, and the rest of the province will think that she is hiding her secrets.

Wen Xian thought for a while, only took a piece of gold leaf and said, "I'll just keep one piece, and put the rest there." ”

"You can't put your eggs in one basket, you have to spread the risk. In case one is dropped, there is another. She went on to explain.

This is a desert island where birds don't, and you can't get out without a boat. They have to stay at least a few years, gold or something, and there is no food to come.

"Then the emperor and eldest sister will take the rest of this piece first." Zhou Hui changed hands and handed the gold leaf to Jiang Jingwan.

Even though Wen Xian has said that there is no position now, many years of palace life have made her know what it means to shoot a gun.

This kind of valuable thing should be given to the Queen Mother and the Queen.

Jiang Jingwan didn't refuse, and Wen Xian didn't say anything, just looked at the wet burden and said, "Look at the burden cut out, how many months can you make cloth?" ”

Ideally, there must be two per person, so that it is easy to change the wash.

Even if two is not enough, washing, baking, and baking is better than one person.

Menstrual cloth, also known as menstrual cloth and moon cloth, is a long strip of cloth or cloth bag tied at both ends.

When using, tie the straps at both ends of the menstrual cloth around your waist to make it easy to fix its position.

The menstrual cloth usually has an opening so that it can be filled with plant ash and cotton from the opening to absorb menstrual blood.

Wen Xian vaguely remembers that before the invention of papermaking in the Han Dynasty, women used plant ash or cotton for menstruation.

Rich people use cotton, and those who don't have money use plant ash.

In the current situation, they belong to a wealthy family, so they can only use local materials and plant ashes.

When the adsorption capacity of the plant ash is used up, replace the plant ash inside.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian's face turned slightly hideous. It's not that she's hypocritical, it's that she really doesn't want to use plant ash.

But there is no way, it is fate.

Other people also thought of this question, and for a while, their faces changed, and they looked at Zhou Hui with fear and expectation.

Zhou Hui touched his nose, roughly measured the size of the burden, and then sighed and said, "This burden can be cut and cut to make ten months cloth, plus I have three here that are new and unused, that is, thirteen." I have two of my own, so I don't need to divide them again. ”

Everyone is particular about people, and there is no habit of sharing menstrual cloth with others.

It was the emergency that happened at the beginning, and she only had time to stuff these things in, and she didn't bring cotton, so she could only use grass and wood ash.

She felt bitter in her heart, she had been eating and drinking for more than ten years, and she was really not used to suddenly letting her use things that only people would use.

She continued: "The eldest sister doesn't need a menstrual cloth for the time being when she is pregnant, but we don't know how long we will stay here, so we will leave a menstrual cloth for the eldest sister for the time being."

Two ladies, one each of the other sisters. As for the remaining two, how about keeping them as a backup? ”

If she could, she would also like to do two by herself, but it is not realistic. These ten still have to unpack the underwear in her baggage before they can be made.

At that time, the underwear will be sewn in the middle position, slightly cleaner.
