Traveling through the world of beasts: I light up my survival skills in the wild

Chapter 142

"Ran Ran, Cotton, what are you going to do?"

Hui easily opened a cotton fruit, took out the snow-white cotton inside, and stuffed it into the big animal skin bag hanging on his body.

It asked while imitating Su Ran's movements.

"Make clothes out of cotton and wait until winter to wear them."

"With cotton, Hui and Ranran won't be cold in winter~"

A large animal skin bag was also hung on Su Ran's body, and now the bottom of the animal skin bag was slightly bulged by the cotton that had been put in it.

In Su Ran's hand, the movement of opening the cotton fruit was quick, and the movements of pulling the cotton out and stuffing it into the animal skin bag were so fast that there were almost afterimages.

"Aww... isn't it cold? Hui, I don't know why it's not cold."

After listening to Su Ran's explanation, Hui shook his head, expressing that he still didn't understand what Su Ran said about using cotton to keep warm.

The blanket under her body is soft and warm. When she has nothing to do, she warms up with the fire, makes some wild cabbage flower tea, and eats some of her homemade snacks. Just thinking about it makes her feel very comfortable!
Because although the weather is much cooler now, it is still a temperature that will not be cold if you wear short sleeves, so it is not suitable for storing food.

Su Ran thought, first of all, she would use these cottons to make a thick blanket that could cover the kang in the east bedroom.

The two were busy until five o'clock in the afternoon before returning from the other side of the river.

However, the picked cotton cannot be used directly.

She found a few complete four-eared cow hides that had been processed, and then stacked these hides layer by layer and laid them flat.

Then she raised the windows of the east bedroom to the maximum, so that the outside sunlight could shine into the house.

After she finished speaking, she paused, and then she looked at Hui again: "When it's done, Hui will know!"

She first spread out the whole sheet on the heated kang, the size of the sheet after spreading out was just right for the heated kang.

In winter, no matter how cold it is outside, there will be a fire inside the house, and the kang will be very hot.

"Okay, woo~"

Su Ran felt that she would pick them for another afternoon later. If she could pick up so many, it should be enough for her for the time being.

Although this kind of seed can't be felt directly when it is sewn into the felt, Su Ran is afraid that it will germinate in the felt!
So before putting cotton on the animal skin sheet, Su Ran spent two days pulling the ashes to pick out all the small black seeds in the six bags of cotton to be used.

So Su Ran's idea of ​​storing meat and fresh vegetables had to be postponed.

Su Ran reckoned that if she wanted to cover the entire kang with cotton, and if she wanted to make it thicker, then at least six bags of cotton would be used for this blanket.

It is very difficult and slow to precisely pinch out that small seed.

The inside of the cotton felt is made of cotton, and the outside is wrapped with felt skin. Su Ran plans to sew the bottom side with four-eared cow hide, and the top with white-headed sheep skin.

Hui nodded, his eyes were still a little confused, but when Su Ran said that he wanted to make clothes for it, the tail behind him stood up first.

After the outer skin sheet is sewn, it is time to start laying cotton on it.

"Ran Ran, no, I don't want to do it!"

So Hui sent Su Ran back to the other side first, and then returned twice to bring back all the bags containing cotton.

Su Ran thought for a while, and pointed to the animal skin short sleeves on her body: "Use cotton to make clothes, and the animal skin blanket for sleeping is made of cotton, so it will be very warm."

But this little seed is not so friendly to ash.

Although there are few, they are still small. Su Ran is fine. After coming down a few times, she found a way to pick them out by pinching them with her nails.

The hide of the four-eared cow is a little thicker than that of the white-headed sheep.

The skin of white-headed sheep is softer, but thicker than that of red-skinned pigs.It won't be scratched so easily, so Su Ran made the side facing upwards.

After returning home, Su Ran took out some dried blue worms and dried fruits, and ate some with Hui.

This kind of cotton felt looks big, but if you want to sew it, it is actually very simple.

At that time, even if only two or three trees can germinate and grow into big trees, the fruits they will bear in the future will be enough for her to use!
It took two days to remove the seeds from the cotton.

She sewed the lower side of the felt-covered sheet first.

So she planned to make this felt first in the next few days.

In particular, Su Ran had already sewed two animal skin blankets that were spread directly on the kang before. With experience, the sewing speed will be faster.

After Su Ran finished picking the seeds, she didn't throw away the cotton seeds, but carefully collected them and prepared to plant them next year.

After sewing the outer leather sheet on this side, Su Ran sewed the upper layer in the same way.

Su Ran and the others were busy on the other side of the river until noon, during which Hui Hui went back to fetch a few animal skin bags.

First cut these several pieces of animal skins together with a knife into a rectangular shape with smooth and straight sides, and then stitch the several pieces of animal skins together.

The cotton that was picked in a day today and packed in animal skin bags has already filled the kang in the west bedroom.

By this time, all these animal skin bags happened to be full.

The cotton brought back was put on the kang in the west bedroom by Su Ran first.

After eating, the two took a nap at home before setting out to pick cotton again.

Early this morning, after breakfast, Su Ran asked Hui to help her take the four-ear cowhide leather sheet that was in the west bedroom and finished sewing two days ago to the east bedroom.

There are only two or three seeds in each cotton fruit seed.

She and Hui came back with a total of nine large animal skin bags of cotton in the morning.

Then, when Su Ran arranged for it to go to the beach to pick up some seafood and come back, it hurriedly ran away with the basket on its back!

Its hands were already big, with long nails, and the sharp weapons usually used to deal with the prey of wild beasts outside seemed clumsy at this moment.

Because on the cotton, in each ball, there will be two or three black seeds the size of rice grains.

When the front and back sides of the felt skin were sewn, Su Ran used eight complete four-eared cowhide and thirteen white-headed sheep skins for this outer skin.

Hui also caught a red-skinned pig there for today's dinner.

Because the side under the felt will be directly attached to the heated kang, it will be less afraid of being burned than the skin of white-headed sheep and red-skinned pigs.

At the end of the selection, it finally couldn't help holding a handful of cotton that hadn't been picked clean, and looked at Su Ran pitifully:

Afterwards, a whole sack of cotton was poured on the animal skin sheet.

After pouring, Su Ran sat on the animal skin sheet, flattened the pile of cotton little by little, spread it out, and then flattened it as much as possible.

When she felt that the thickness of the cotton that had been laid was almost the same, she poured the second bag of cotton on the edge of the piece of cotton that had already been laid, and spread the cotton again as before, and so on.

It wasn't until the entire animal skin sheet was covered with cotton that Su Ran, with the help of Hui, took the white-headed sheepskin sheet to be covered on top, and covered it with the cotton that had already been laid...
