Crazy for me through another continent

Chapter 23 Candle Making Success

Seeing hope, Weiss was more cautious this time.

Touching a layer of meat oil on the wall of the bamboo tube, splitting the bamboo tube every time is too wasteful, there are not many usable bamboo joints left at home, and it will be too troublesome to do so if it succeeds in the future.

Pour in the gum, and then shake the sap diluted with water into the gum. This time the solidification speed slowed down, and the color did not fade so badly, and the whole became transparent and milky white.

After it is completely solidified, pat the bottom of the bamboo tube vigorously, and then pull the candle out with the vine.Very good, with a layer of oil, the gum came out of the bamboo tube smoothly.

This experiment can be said to be half successful. The burning time of the nan tree has obviously become longer. Originally, it could only burn for a few seconds. Now it can melt the candle made of gum a little bit, but only a little bit.It seems that the dilution ratio is wrong. I found a way, and after several experiments, I finally made an opaque, milky white candle.

Keya has been back for a while, but Weiss devoted himself to research and didn't notice him at all.

When Weiss excitedly shouted "Success!", Keya also happily shouted "Great, it's finally done."

Weiss turned his head to look at Keya, and hugged him around several times vigorously. It was great to have someone to share the joy of success with him.This is the driving force of Weiss. Some people worship him, and some people are happy for him. This is the source of energy for Weiss to keep trying. Although Weiss himself did not realize it, without Keya’s encouragement, Weiss might have given up long ago. .

The candle is very successful, not only does not produce a pungent smell, but it is also very resistant to burning.A candle the size of a baby's arm can burn through the night, or nearly 20 hours.

Weiss prevented Keya from running to tell Chia Ah Mo that this candle might have other value, and he didn't intend to set off another trend in the tribe. After the wooden plow, he is now a The focus of tribal people's discussion.Weiss doesn't want to be too prominent. If the limelight is too strong, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be unfavorable rumors about him. It is better to keep a low profile.

After explaining this truth to Keya, Keya also nodded earnestly. His brother is indeed a little too smart. Now he can hear people in the tribe saying that his brother has changed from what he used to be. Not good.

He didn't want others to have the opportunity to hurt his brother, so if his brother said he couldn't speak, Keya would definitely not say anything.

The successful development of candles has brought many benefits. Now the two brothers can light candles in the house at night.

The flame of a candle is about the same brightness as a bonfire, so as long as you don't go into the house, you won't be found.

Weiss was chipping wood on a wooden chair, and he planned to use the night time to make a bathtub, and Keya was practicing the calligraphy Weiss had recently taught him in the salt basin.

Since he has been busy with the summer harvest recently, he has not gone to learn from Uncle Raisman for a few days.But Keya, who is eager to learn, still takes time to practice by himself, practicing the movements taught by Lesman and the words taught by Weiss. With the light of the candles, the room is warm and cozy.

There was a heavy rain the next day. Fortunately, the females of the tribe did not plant many crops. With the help of strong men like orcs, even if they planted a lot, they were harvested before the heavy rain.

Weiss and Keya snatched some of the wet tassels back into the storage room, and the cat stayed in the house, looking at the gloomy sky, Weiss thought that the rain should stop soon, as the tassels were not dried in the first place. It's not good to get moldy in the rain.

It's raining outside, so cooking can only be done inside the house.The sweltering summer weather makes the rain cool down a lot, but lighting a fire in the house still makes the smoke and fire uncomfortable.

Weiss decided to build another house. The one he originally lived in was converted into a kitchen, and a door was dug out on the wall next to the storage room. house can cook and eat.

It's just that building a house is not a job for one person. Wes felt a little headache when he thought about asking someone to help, and having to take out animal meat to entertain the orcs who helped build the house.Let's wait a little longer, after the busy planting season, just cover it before winter comes.

It rained heavily for two whole days, and the animal skin quilts at home became damp.

On the second day of rain, Weiss lit a bonfire in the storage room and piled the wet tassels by the fire to bake. Can not eat.

After it rained, the ground became muddy. I thought that all the fertilizers in the ground should seep into the soil. After the water in the ground dries up, I can plant summer and autumn plants.

Weiss sorted out the seeds of the plants to be planted, helped the wild vegetables washed down by the rain in the vegetable field, cultivated them with soil, and fed the shivering and gathering Gugu beasts after being watered.

He thought that he would have to build a nest for Gugu Beast anyway in winter, so he might as well build it now to save himself from being drenched in the rain.

Weiss and Keya took the sickle to chop some bamboos, branches, and cut some grass.The grass was dried, and a small nest was built for the Gugu beast with bamboo and branches, and it was covered with thatch and tassels.In this way, you can wait until winter to strengthen it, and you can survive the winter if you touch the mud outside.

Arthurs came over in the afternoon and expressed his willingness to help Weiss plant all the seeds of Xia Qiu.

Weiss felt that this guy was just addicted to eating their family's food, and he used his help to eat.

Poor single orc, the most he can live by himself is roasting meat, they won't do troublesome things like stewing meat, and they won't cook such delicious vegetables.

However, their family just harvested the crops, and their family didn't have much meat, which orcs love to eat.

The past few days have been busy with the summer harvest, and it has rained for two consecutive days. Weiss and Keya can only eat noodles, eggs and other things, and there is no meat to feed this big eater.

After explaining the reason, Arthurs readily expressed his willingness to contribute the source of meat. Hunting is not difficult for the orcs, and there are much more prey now than in spring.

Who made him and Ben unable to swallow the food he baked now!Originally, he had never eaten the rice cooked by Weiss, but Arthurs could even eat raw meat. Now eating the half-baked meat he roasted himself is really a kind of torture.

Since Arthurs is willing to hunt and join the gang, Weiss is also willing to have free meat to eat. After all, Koya cannot stop eating meat for a long time, and it will make him weak. It is the age of growing body, it is always good to eat more .

The last time Arthurs helped with the autumn harvest, people in the tribe thought it was appointed by the patriarch. This time Arthurs helped with planting, so naturally it didn't seem too strange.

After two days of busy work, I finally planted the seeds into the soil. Planting crops is a labor-intensive effort, which is more tiring than harvesting. First, the plowed land should be divided into groups, and then the distance between the seeds should be measured to avoid overcrowding. or loose.Put the seeds into the dug shallow pit, cover it with soil, and then pour the whole ground again, and it's done.

This time, Keya also helped to throw the seeds into the pit. These seeds were picked out one by one by Weiss. The seeds are full and easy to survive.Soil eggs are picked out and divided into pieces with a lot of buds. One piece is guaranteed to have a bud, and then smeared with plant ash and planted in the ground.

No seedlings were raised in advance here, and Weiss didn't want to be too outstanding, so he buried the earth egg seeds in the ground like everyone else.

Although these two days were very tiring, Wes did not treat Arthur and Keya harshly in terms of food.

After a meal of meat, vegetables, and meat and vegetables, the two of them were shiny and oily. Occasionally they would have a meal of noodles. Arthurs couldn't forget the meal, and he would grind Weiss to make another meal when he had time.Weiss thought it was troublesome to roll the noodles, so he was lazy to talk to him, and let him whine unwillingly.

After Xia Zhong's work was over, Arthurs had no reason to stay at Weiss's house for a meal, so he had to go home listlessly.

The days without Arthurs are much cleaner. This rambunctious orc, the soon-to-be angry Wes wants to greet his head with the thing in his hand, but without him messing around with Keya, this The yard is so quiet that it makes people feel lonely.

Keya felt that the absence of Arthurs around Weiss made him relax a lot, and he was afraid that one day Arthurs would realize that it was his brother.

Only a beast like the beast father deserves to have an older brother, Keya firmly believes so.

The days returned to calm, and Weiss was not idle, either digging wild vegetables in the mountains to find new varieties, or digging traps everywhere to hunt.With more digging, the animals in the forest became smarter, and fewer and fewer prey fell into the traps.

In order to be able to eat meat at home, Weiss had to spend more time in the woods, using nooses and rope nets to catch small animals.

In the past few days, Weiss taught Keya a kind of javelin used by Africans for hunting. Although the little guy is small, he practiced it well. He practiced throwing knives with bone knives or sharpened bamboo.He even pulled the bridle rope to let Keya throw the small animal over and stumble, and then used the bone knife to stab the prey to death.

It was an adult curved-horned beast. It was a herbivorous prey with a docile temperament. It ran and jumped very fast.Curved horned beasts usually live in the plains or highlands. Only the female bent horned beasts who give birth will hide in the forest during the calving period. After the cubs are born safely, they will return with the cubs that can run. to the group.

Weiss and the others were lucky enough to kill this weak horned beast that had just given birth.This allowed Keya to learn more about a variety of hunting methods besides the beast shape.

Since then, it has been the pride of Keya. No orc in the tribe has ever been able to catch so many prey in human form, and it has a variety of tricks, which makes a group of orcs of the same age admire and envy at the same time.

What Weiss taught Keya was not only the hunting method, but also told a sentence that Keya regarded as the most reasonable saying and kept in mind: No matter what method you use, as long as you can catch the prey you want, then sneak attack, wretched All are necessary costs.

This made Keya, who was still in the growing period, look straight up. All ambushes and sneak attacks are pediatrics. Even the most shameless show of weakness of the orcs is played by him to the extreme. The method of showing weakness tricked an adult Jiaka dragon beast into the encirclement, and together they successfully rounded up the beast that was far superior to their force.

As a result, some of the little orcs in the tribe were directly brought down.This makes the orcs, who are proud of being brave and facing the enemy head-on, beat them up as long as they catch a few little guys, and it also makes Chief Wig feel proud and annoyed that they can capture the beasts that even the warriors can't. The Jiaka dragon beasts who fought against it were annoyed by their wretched and unlimited hunting behavior.
