Chapter 18 Weaving Clothes

Zhou Qinghai stood at the entrance of the cave, watching the water droplets at the entrance of the cave fall like a bead curtain, and the "whooshing" heavy rain splashed cool water splashes in Zhou Qinghai's mind. The rain became heavier and heavier, and slowly the heavy rain became goose feather snow, Zhou Qinghai hid in the cave by the stove to warm up, the night became dark for a while, and Zhou Qinghai at night lay on the cold floor and couldn't sleep.

Zhou Qinghai's thoughts returned from the winter with goose feathers and heavy snow to the water curtain cave in front of him. The rain stopped in the afternoon. Zhou Qinghai jumped down from the mouth of the cave and gently landed at the bottom of the flowing stream, the abundant rain made the stream rise to Zhou Qinghai's legs, and Zhou Qinghai stepped on the pebbles of the stream with his bare feet and walked forward in the "whooshing" flowing water. The rocks reflecting the crystal water droplets shimmer with small suns, and directly above the rocks, the wet bison skins, rabbit skins, and goat skins are washed relatively clean. In the days of living in the Uninhabited Valley, Zhou Qinghai took all the animal skins he had eaten to dry on the rock slabs under the cave, so that the sun could evaporate and the wind blew away the smell of blood. When Zhou Qinghai picked up the bison skin, rabbit skin, and goat skin, a few dark red blood stains were still wet and remained in the place where the rain had not washed them, Zhou Qinghai sat on the rock, rubbed the animal fur vigorously with his hands, and then put it in the stream to wash away the blood stains. After all the animal skins were cleaned, Zhou Qinghai took the animal skins in his hand and jumped into the cave. The leopard was lazily lying at the entrance of the cave basking in the sun, and Zhou Qinghai tied the animal skin with a green rattan and hung it on the entrance of the cave to dry.

Zhou Qinghai tied up his horse and started his "Stone Mirror Project" again. The stars in the sky were shining in the uninhabited valley, and after Zhou Qinghai practiced the Five Poisons Divine Palm, he hugged the leopard and fell asleep warmly to each other. It had just rained heavily in the valley, and some of the sunlight could only shine through thick or thin clouds into the uninhabited valley, so two days later, the animal skin that Zhou Qinghai hung at the mouth of the cave was dried. Zhou Qinghai took these animal skins to the hall in the cave and folded them one by one and placed them on the ground. Zhou Qinghai picked up the leopard and jumped down the cave, gently patted the leopard and walked towards the east. After the leopard rubbed on Zhou Qinghai's legs, he ran away.

A mile east of the cave, wild rice grows. Zhou Qinghai looked at the rice in the uninhabited valley and thought to himself that this might be a long time ago, when the people living in the surrounding area accidentally scattered the rice in this place with water and soil. The straw was less harmed in this place where there were only animals and no people, and it grew and multiplied very luxuriantly. Zhou Qinghai used his broken sword to cut off a straw in his arms. Zhou Qinghai jumped up to the cave again with the straw. After Zhou Qinghai spread the straw at the entrance of the cave, he began the "Stone Mirror Project" and the cultivation of the Five Poisons Divine Skill that he had to do every day.

Three days passed, and Zhou Qinghai carried the dried straw to the animal skin and sat on the ground, arranging the straw one by one. Zhou Qinghai picked up a straw in his left hand, and he also picked up a straw in his right hand. Zhou Qinghai bit one end of the two straws with his mouth, rubbed them with both hands, and a chopstick-thick straw rope was kneaded. Zhou Qinghai used the same method to make a second straw rope. Zhou Qinghai looked at the two shorter straw ropes and wanted to connect them into a longer straw rope. Zhou Qinghai tied the two straw ropes together, the big bump raised in the middle was very ugly, Zhou Qinghai's already gloomy face was even more ugly, Zhou Qinghai re-untied the pimple and separated the two grass ropes. Zhou Qinghai thought for a while and began to continue to rub the third shorter straw rope. An hour later, Zhou Qinghai rolled into ten shorter straw ropes. Zhou Qinghai stood up, his fists clenched and released, and he relaxed the straw rope that had been in a tense state just now. Zhou Qinghai walked to a small smooth stone slab on the pot stove and picked up a simple small package folded by a rabbit. When Zhou Qinghai walked to the animal skin, he squatted down and gently unwrapped the rabbit, and there were several large or small fish bones inside. Zhou Qinghai picked up the smallest fish bone, a straw rope, and Zhou Qinghai wrapped it around the fish bone with the straw rope, as if he wanted to tie the straw rope to the fish bone. After trying a few times, Zhou Qinghai picked up a larger fish bone, but the straw rope still failed to tie it to the fish bone.

"You can have your fate today, it is all caused by a mentally retarded head like yours, you don't want to think about how such a small fish bone can be tied with such a thick straw rope?"

Zhou Qinghai picked up the largest fish bone, this fish bone is composed of two fish bones, one long and one short, the long fish bone is about an inch long, and the short one is only five or six millimeters. Zhou Qinghai put the fish bones and straw rope aside, and spread the bison skin completely on the ground. Zhou Qinghai used the sword to cut off all the fur on the head, limbs, and tail of the bison skin. Make a fur that is close to rectangular and fold it in line from the middle. Zhou Qinghai held the bison leather in his left hand and the needle and thread in his right hand, weaving the unconnected parts of the bison leather together. They are all very thick needles and threads, and after Zhou Qinghai struggled through one end of the fish bone through the bison skin, the other short bone was stuck on this side. Zhou Qinghai Haikong has a strong martial arts, but he has to use all his strength to sew fur. Zhou Qinghai, who was sweating profusely, finally sewed the three sides of the bison leather together. Huge needles and threads were tied to the bison skin, and in a few places they were twisted into a few pimples.

At the bottom of the cool cave, a bison blanket is spread on the ground, and on top of the blanket is a person, and a leopard is lying or lying on it, and sleeps soundly.

The next day in the uninhabited valley said that it was a sunny day, there were only very thin clouds and mist in the valley, Zhou Qinghai stretched out his hand and jumped on a tall poplar tree with agility, Zhou Qinghai easily cut off a branch the size of a bowl mouth with his broken sword. The branch fell to the ground with a "bang". Zhou Qinghai pulled up the branch and ran to the stone slab under the cave. Zhou Qinghai sat on the stone slab, pressed the branch with his left hand, and cut the branch into pieces with his sword with his right hand. to the branch of the tree, the thickest branch of the tree cut down with a sword. Zhou Qinghai took the wooden board that had been cut into a centimeter thick and tried it on his feet a few times, and drew a circle along his footprints with the tip of his sword. Zhou Qinghai used his sword to slowly sharpen one centimeter outside the sword mark. When it was getting dark, the leopard came over with a bloodied goat in its mouth. Zhou Qinghai picked up the leopard and jumped up the cave, and the leopard walked to the stove with the goat in his mouth. Zhou Qinghai jumped down from the cave again, and carried the planks, branches, and tree trunks up to the cave. Zhou Qinghai used the branches and trunks he had just cut down to cook the leg of mutton, and then made a pot of mutton soup.

The sky was already bright, Zhou Qinghai sent the leopard to the bottom of the uninhabited valley, sat in the center of the cave hall by himself, used the tip of his sword to pierce round holes on the wooden boards, and then sewed two rabbit skins on the two wooden boards with needles and threads, and a pair of straw shoes was made by Zhou Qinghai. Zhou Qinghai put on straw sandals and walked around the stone cave covered with small stones.

"In the days to come, I won't have to worry about going to thorns or sharp stones and cutting the skin of my feet. ”

Zhou Qinghai looked at his new pair of straw sandals with hateful eyes.
