Several guard towers outside the tribe were hung with fresh lone beast corpses.The corpse was still dripping blood, and it looked particularly bleak and cold as it shook in the cold wind of early winter.Lin Xi looked at the shaking corpses on the two guard towers by the Mogan River, and after a while, he spit out the mouthwash in his mouth and the chewed bitter tree branches, and turned back to the cave.The fate of the invaders, nothing to be sorry for!
She put the small fruit shell she used to rinse her mouth back into the cabinet in the living room, and the first floor of the cabinet was full of Lin Xi and Wuchen's toiletries.Including soft husks for gargling, wooden combs for combing hair, and the box of eyebrow shaping blades that Lin Xi brought from modern times, and the wooden hairpins she sharpened to tie her hair.In addition, there was a small basket made of bitter branches, which was filled with bitter tree sticks that had been folded into finger-length sticks, which was the toothbrush that Lin Xi used to brush his teeth temporarily!
There is no way, the fur of these prey she knows is either very soft or smelly, and even after processing, it really can't get into her mouth, so she can only replace it with a branch.And the hairpin is because the leather rope that Lin Xi brought in modern times is an inferior product for two yuan and a bundle.It was scrapped one morning some time ago, but fortunately, she learned to use hairpins on the Internet on a whim, otherwise she might only be able to use eyebrow razor blades to repair her dog's head!
After brushing his teeth, Lin Xi walked to the dining table and took off the fish skins on the two wooden boards on the table one by one.She touched it, and the skin had dried, and it was time to move on to the next step.Lin Xi took a large soft and soft husk, filled it with some clean plant ash, and added some soil with no impurities at all, and the texture was very fine, mixed with the plant ash.Then put the dried fish skin in, and start to twist and knead the fish skin repeatedly with this plant ash and fine soil, and after kneading for a long time, then roll up the fish skin with a thinner yellow pig skin and tie it up, and then put it at the foot of the table and roll it repeatedly.Finally, when Lin Xi was busy sweating, her nine pieces of fishskin paper were made!
The fish skin paper made is very dry, very tough, and easy to pull constantly, Lin Xi is very satisfied!
Now with paper, it's time to make lights!
But Lin Xi suddenly remembered that she didn't have glue yet, she knew that the muscles and bones of animals could also be made into glue, but it was too troublesome to boil, and after thinking about it, she suddenly remembered the peaches she picked before!
On the peach tree, there should be peach gum!
Thinking so, Lin Xi couldn't wait to change his clothes, put the bag on his back, go to Wuchen, and ask him to take him to the forest.Wuchen was also going to look for wood, because Lin Xi wanted to make two more open cabinets and low tables in the bedroom and living room to put things.I don't have to go out hunting today, I just have time.Since the end of the collective collection, Lin Xi has not been to the forest for several days.Although it has only been a few days, the feeling in the forest is visibly desolate!
The fallen leaves under your feet are a little thicker, and when you step on them, you can hardly see them buried, and the leaves have fallen off, and it is rare to shine into the sun.Wuchen took Lin Xi directly to a place with many peach trees, Lin Xi slid off his back and walked to the peach tree to observe.These peach trees should not be too long, and they don't grow very tall, so Lin Xi can also reach the branches, but if they grow for another two years, it is estimated that she will not be able to reach them!
An amber crystal ball appeared in his eyes, Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out the small bone knife he brought, shoveled the thing off the trunk, and put it in the palm of his hand.Then she turned around and handed it to Wuchen: "Wuchen, it's this thing, it's called peach gum, you go to the tree to see if there is anything on it, let's find more and take it back!"
”Wuchen nodded when he saw the things in Lin Xi's hand, and he jumped onto the peach tree in three or two and looked for it on the trunk above.There are eight or nine peach trees here, all of them have been found, and the number of peach gum is also a small handful.Lin Xi estimated that making one lamp should be enough, but if she made a few more, it would not be necessary, so she and Wuchen went to another place.Coincidentally, as soon as the two arrived, they ran into a giant pig beast digging something under the peach tree, and was pounced on by the dust and knocked out!
Wuchen dragged the giant pig beast to the side to bleed, and Lin Xi walked to the place where the giant pig beast was pulling, and picked up the blades of grass to see what it was looking for!
In the end, I found that it was a piece of purple peel fruit!
Lin Xi dug out all these purple peel fruits, and there was actually a small amount of half a bag of animal skins, she was satisfied, she didn't expect that there would be an unexpected harvest when she came out to find a peach gum!
After picking the peach gum from a few peach trees nearby, Lin Xi and Wuchen began to return to the tribe.When he reached the border of the forest, Wuchen picked a few trees and broke them, tied them to his body, and dragged them all the way back to the cave.After arriving home, Lin Xi began to try his hand at making lampshades.The skeleton of the lampshade is still made of bitter branches, Lin Xi first made a rectangular skeleton, and then dipped it in peach gum to paste the cut fish skin little by little!
The fish that Lin Xi chose to make the skin paper was the kind of fish with a large white belly and only a black back, this fish had no name, and Lin Xi named it White Fish.In order to make the light transmission of the lampshade better, Lin Xi also cut the black part of the fish skin.In this way, the whole lampshade is a slightly white transparent color, and the brightness will be better!
A lampshade was quickly pasted, and Lin Xi held it in his hand and admired it.It's a bit ugly, but it works!
Wuchen has already returned from the cave where the black oil water is produced, and a large basin of black oil water has returned.Lin Xi asked him to dig out an oil pot filled with oil with a stone, and then dig a groove in the edge of the oil pot to jam the lampshade.Lin Xi made a wick out of hemp rope.In fact, the wick is best made of cotton thread and asbestos thread, but Lin Xi has not found cotton yet, so he can only use hemp rope.She also left Wuchen in the middle of the oil pot, leaving a thin nail-sized column with a small hole at the top.This small hole can be used to thread the hemp rope into it, fix it, and prevent the hemp rope from falling on the edge of the oil pot and burning the lamp.Finally, Lin Xi poured black oil and water into the oil pot and lit the fire.The flames slowly lit up, illuminating the dim corners little by little, and Lin Xi immediately buckled the lampshade on.In an instant, the scattered lights were gathered, and in the corner in front of Lin Xi, they were sprinkled again, but they were twice as bright!"
Xixi, this lamp is brighter than the fireplace!"
Wuchen sat on the chair on the edge of Lin Xi, looked at the bright fish skin lamp in front of him with novelty, paused, and said: "And it flashes and twinkles, like stars, very beautiful." ”Lin Xi followed his line of sight and couldn't help but smile.The bright light of the fishskin lamp is indeed brighter than the yellowish and reddish light of the fireplace, but it also has drawbacks.As Wuchen said, because of the existence of fish scales, the light illuminated by it is refracted in many places, and it will always cast a fine shadow of fish scales on the object.It does look good, but when it comes to looking at things, it's actually a little uncomfortable.She thought that it would be nice to have time to make a fish skin lamp that scrapes off the scales!
