After being excited for a long time, Di Nai prepared to collect all these mature wild millet. He looked around. There weren't too many wild millet and they were scattered. He pulled the parachute out of his backpack and began to put the wild millet into his backpack. Of course, Ye Shu was the one who came up with the name.
When the others saw that Di Nai was not helping to find shoes, but was busy pulling the ears of a plant, they all surrounded him curiously. "What are you doing?" asked Lirry curiously.”
Di Nai smiled mysteriously.”
Curious, he picked up some wild millet and put it into his mouth. After tasting it, he felt that the fruit of this plant was really not delicious. It was only a small one. Even if the entire ear was added up, it would not be as much as a mango. Why did Di Nai say that this was a good thing?
On the other side, Maji finally found the shoes. After asking what Di Nai had done, he called everyone to help him with the tassel. Maji felt that as long as Di Nai said something was good, it would definitely be good. Even if they couldn't tell that it was good now, they would still be surprised in the future.
Everyone was more convinced by Maji's words, and they began to pick up the ears.
With more than ten people working together, the efficiency was indeed very high. However, some of the non-beastmen had never done any rough work before, and their palms were all soft and tender. They had only rubbed a few ears before their skin was scratched, so they had no choice but to give up.
In the end, it was the beastmen who contributed the most and made the greatest contributions. They collected all the wild millet ears nearby. The wild millet that he pulled down just happened to fill his backpack.
Di Nai was prepared to take some wild millet out to boil and taste, while the rest were reserved for seeds. After all, this wild millet could only be found by chance. Who knew if he would be able to find other wild millet next time?
However, this wild millet had to be peeled before it could be cooked. Now that there was no stone mill, how could he peel the skin? Di Nai was troubled. He thought, Forget it. Don't eat on the way. I'll think of a way when I get back.
Di Nai was about to call everyone to continue moving forward when he suddenly remembered Maji's shoes. It was not a good idea to keep dropping them in the air. He thought that he might as well add two more straps and change the slippers into sandals.
Therefore, he asked Margie to take off her shoes and began to try to modify the slippers.
What made Di Nai depressed was that the few straps that needed to be added seemed to be very cumbersome no matter how they were wound, and they would also be a little awkward. He could only temporarily burn a section of the rope and stick it on both sides of the herringbone rope. He drilled a hole in his heel and stuck a short piece into the hole. The other end was glued to the rope he had added earlier. In this way, the slippers basically became wooden sandals.
However, the rope that was glued on was not strong enough, so it would definitely be easily worn out. He could only let Maji wear it for the time being.
Maji felt that she had made a new pair of shoes and was jumping around happily. He felt that the new shoes were quite good. They were very easy to walk in and would not fall off as easily as slippers.
In fact, wooden slippers were too hard to wear and were not suitable for long-term wear. Di Nai suddenly remembered that he could make another kind of shoes to wear, and that was straw sandals.
However, Di Nai had only seen his great-uncle make straw sandals when he was very, very young in the mountains. It seemed that the steps were quite complicated, and the materials used were straw stalks. Di Nai stretched out his hand and pulled a wild millet stick. With a gentle bend, the stick broke. It seemed that this pole was too brittle to be used as straw sandals.
Di Nai remembered that corn leaves could be used to make straw sandals. However, he had already looked around. There was no corn in this place. He could only temporarily put aside his plans to make straw sandals.
There was no water source nearby, so they didn't stay for long and continued to move forward. After leaving the grassland, they found a small valley with a gurgling stream. They rested there and prepared lunch.
When Di Nai was still on Frey's back, he had already seen a small bamboo forest on the mountain over there. He thought that since he had not eaten bamboo shoots for a few days, he should try his luck and dig up some bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots were a delicacy after all. It was not bad to spice up the taste. Thus, he drank some water by the stream, washed his face, and asked Frey to drive him there to see if there were any bamboo shoots.
As expected, there were still some bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Di Nai dug a few bamboo shoots. As he dug, he saw the bamboo shoot shells on the ground. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. These old bamboo shoot shells were relatively soft, so they should be able to be used to make straw sandals. Thus, Di Nai picked up a pile of bamboo shoot shells and returned to the valley.
In the valley, Maji was catching crabs in the stream. She was probably having a good time catching crabs as she laughed loudly. He threw the crabs he caught into the bushes by the shore. The waiter thought that it was just for it to play with and ran over to take a look.
Ever since Di Nai's backpack had been occupied by Wild Millet, the waiter could only grab Di Nai's clothes and squat on his shoulder pitifully. Therefore, it had not followed Di Nai to pick bamboo shoots.
It had probably never seen a crab before, so it stared at the crab curiously with its big black eyes.
It saw the crab crawling horizontally and felt that it was very novel, so it also climbed horizontally. Wherever the crab went, it went. That clumsy look made people want to laugh.
When the waiter saw that the crab was about to reach the water's edge, he slapped it back onto the grass. The crab was knocked over by it, and countless of its legs were facing the sky. It struggled for a long time, but it could not get up. When the waiter saw this, his eyes lit up with excitement. Once the crab turned around and was ready to escape, it stretched out its claws and slapped it over. Her big eyes rolled around, looking extremely mischievous.
However, it had underestimated the crab. It had never seen how powerful the crab was. If it wasn't careful, its claws would be caught by the crab. The crab's large pincers would never let go of the culprit that had caused it to suffer. The waiter was shocked. He retracted his claws and tried to shake it off, but he could not shake it off at all.
It wanted to pull the crab down again, but the crab was still waving its other big pincer, making it unable to lower its claws.
The waiter was dumbfounded, and he kept grunting.
Di Nai had just stepped into the stream and helped Maji touch two crabs. When he looked up, he saw the miserable state of the waiter and laughed unkindly."Little thing, who asked you to play with crabs? You're in trouble now, aren't you?”
The waiter pitifully raised his claws and crawled in front of Di Nai for help, grunting with all his might. Her beautiful big eyes sparkled with tears, making one's heart melt.
Di Nai quickly picked it up and put its small claws that had been caught by the crab into the water. Then he reached out and flicked the crab's shell a few times. Slowly, the crab loosened its pincers and sank into the water. Di Nai was quick to react. He grabbed its shell and threw it onto the shore.
The waiter took back the paw that had suffered and put it by his mouth to breathe. Di Nai rubbed it and stroked its head in amusement.""Haha, poor thing, let's see if you'll still be naughty in the future!”As he spoke, he placed it on the ground.
However, the waiter was not convinced. As soon as it landed, it went to settle the score with the crab. Finally, it found the crab in a shallow pit. It angrily pressed its claws on the crab's back and pressed down hard. This time, the crab could not move. The crab waved its big pincers, but it could not catch Xiao 'er, nor could it break free from Xiao' er's control. The waiter felt that he had greatly vented his anger and was so happy that he grumbled.
When Di Nai was cleaning up the crab, the waiter was still competing with the crab. Di Nai picked up the waiter and put away the crab at its feet. The waiter grumbled in dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to compete with his master.
During lunch, Di Nai deliberately peeled the crab's shell and gave it to the waiter to eat. It could be considered as revenge for it.
After lunch, Di Nai took the pile of bamboo shoot shells and studied how to make straw sandals. The bamboo shoot shell was still a little hard. It would not work if it was used to make shoes. Di Nai first used a piece of wood to soften the bamboo shoot shell with water, then placed it on a stone to dry, and then smeared some animal oil on it. In this way, what he held in his hand was a softer shell.
Di Nai remembered that those straw sandals seemed to have sharp tips at the front, sticking up. He did not know how the straw sandals were made, so he could only tear the bamboo shoot shell into strips and slowly study it in his hands.
He tried to weave those strips together, but he could not weave them together. Even when they set off, Di Nai still hadn't come up with a plan to weave straw sandals.
He didn't give up hope. He wrapped the bamboo shoot shells with a parachute and carried them on his back. He planned to study them when he had time.
At night, they finally arrived at Salt Lake. When Di Nai saw the large lake, he thought of a line from the lyrics: "A lake on a mountain is a tear that drips on Earth.”
The lake was so blue that it was intoxicating. The light of the setting sun shone on the surface of the lake, glistening. The lakeside was covered with a layer of white sand, probably mixed with salt. It was as white as snow.
It was already late, and there was no time to pick salt. They settled down by the lake and prepared to rest for the night before going to harvest salt the next day.
Di Nai had set up a tent with a parachute at a tougher spot by the lake and was prepared to sleep in the tent at night.
The others were only prepared to stay under the tree for the night. When they saw Di Nai's tent, they all gathered around curiously. After they surrounded Di Nai's tent, they expressed all kinds of envy for him. Unfortunately, they could not find the materials to learn even if they wanted to, so they had to give up.
Frey's eyes lit up after he helped Dini set up the tent. This was a separate enclosed space. It was much better than sleeping together with everyone in the cave. It was also very convenient to secretly do some small things with Di Nai.
Therefore, he eagerly longed for the arrival of night.
Their dinner was venison that Frey had hunted. Frey didn't know why, but he had been staring at Di Nai with a fiery gaze ever since they were roasting the meat, which made Di Nai's hair stand on end. That gaze was too much like a wild beast looking at its prey.
However, Di Nai had been worried about his unfinished shoes. After dinner, he pulled Ma Ji to study how to make straw sandals.
Di Nai's previous weaving method was not enough. After explaining the concept of straw sandals to Maji, Maji also tried to weave them. Unfortunately, he didn't find a good way to knit a shoe in one go.
Di Nai remembered that he had seen another kind of straw sandals made of cornhusks, which seemed to be braided and sewn together with rope. Therefore, they tried this new method again. This time, under the cooperation of the two, a straw shoe was finally formed very quickly. Although the shape was a little crooked, at least it would not fall apart.
Di Nai cut out a few straps from animal skin and used them as shoelaces. After tying them up, he found that the straps were more practical than the satin rope. They were not thick and did not hurt his feet.
Di Nai put on his straw sandals and walked on the sand, smiling with satisfaction. Unfortunately, this method of weaving straw sandals consumed too much thread. Di Nai did not have much thread left, and he could not find anything to replace it for the time being, so he could not make a few pairs of straw sandals.
As the night gradually deepened, the anxious Frey had already transformed into his beast form and circled around Di Nai for a long time. He was probably bored, so he patrolled the area and caught a few rabbits and deer that had not slept yet. With this, there was enough food for the next day.
Maji saw that she already had two pairs of straw sandals and yawned.""It's getting late. Let's rest first!" With that, he took a new pair of straw sandals and left.
Di Nai also felt a little sleepy. Making shoes under the moonlight and fire just now was a little eye-consuming. It was better to rest early. He looked around and found that most of the others were already resting.
Di Nai stretched and patted Frey's head."You go to sleep first. I'll go to the toilet and be right back.”
Frey wagged his tail happily and entered the tent.
Di Nai was afraid of disturbing the others, so he deliberately walked a little further away. Just as he unzipped his pants and soaked himself in water, he heard someone walking towards him. From the sound of footsteps, there seemed to be two people.
Just as Di Nai was about to speak, he suddenly heard the sound of kissing. He felt a little awkward. It would not be good if he bumped into someone else's good thing. So he quietly zipped up his pants and hid behind a tree.
