To be honest, after seeing these two tasks pop up, Jiang Xue's first reaction was surprise.
She lived in the tribe for nearly a month and also got to know some of the situation of the Snake Tribe.
The people of the Snake Tribe seem to be living in harmony, but in fact, the small tribe is divided into two factions. One is the conservative faction led by the old patriarch Ma, and the other is the radical faction led by Mu Feng.
There is usually no conflict between the two factions, but when something big happens, they will each support their own supporters.
The old patriarch had always wanted to support Ashan as the patriarch, but Ashan was a hopeless case, and the old patriarch had tried his best but to no avail. Mufeng's support was clearly stronger than Ashan's, so in order to stabilize the people's hearts and prevent the already declining Snake Tribe from suffering further setbacks, he had no choice but to let Mufeng succeed him as the patriarch.
The succession of the chief is a normal change in the affairs of the tribe, but why is he required to resist the attack of the Eagle Tribe and integrate the tribe at the same time?
Although the tribe's defenses were strengthened by thorn walls and trenches, the thorns had only been planted a few days ago and their root systems were not yet fully developed, so they probably couldn't withstand an attack from the Eagle Tribe. Furthermore, the weather was dry at this time, and if they set fire to it, the thorn walls would surely be destroyed.
It seems that this thorn wall needs to be reinforced.
Since the thorn wall needs to be reinforced, what method can be used?
Jiang Xue racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she turned her eyes to the barriers at the door.
If you want to make chevaux de frise, you have to go up the mountain to cut trees.
Or... just wait and see for a while?
Wait and see...
Jiang Xue bit the words, suddenly calmed down, and then laughed out loud. She really didn't expect that even if she traveled back to ancient times, she would encounter such a thing.
It turns out that where there are people, there is the world.
"Sister Xue, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Xue forced herself to calm down and heard Xiaohua asking her questions beside her.
"Nothing, I just want to weave some more things. The basket is too small and can't hold much, so I'm thinking of a better kind of rattan."
The vines she cut this time were of uneven thickness. Some were too thick or too thin to be suitable for making a backpack. She picked them out one by one and put aside those that were too thick or too thin, ready to use as firewood.
When Xiaohua heard that she was planning to make something, she immediately became interested. She sat down next to her and asked, "Sister Axue, what do you want to make this time?"
"A backpack," Jiang Xue said, "is also made of rattan, but it's a little bigger than a basket. You put rattan on it as straps and then you can carry it on your shoulders. And then..." She thought of the clogs the system had given her this morning.
The people of the Snake Tribe were completely naked, and everyone except themselves walked barefoot.
It's okay now, the weather is neither too hot nor too cold, so walking barefoot is not a big deal. But in winter, when the ground is covered with snow, it's cold just thinking about walking barefoot on it.
“And then I wanted to make some shoes.”
Xiaohua widened her eyes: "What shoes?"
Jiang Xue pointed at the shoes on her feet and said, "This is what I'm wearing."
Xiaohua immediately gave her an envious look: "Sister Axue, where on earth are you from? There are many things about you that I have never seen before."
Jiang Xue wore a pair of white sneakers. She didn't have any jewelry, except for a copper ring given to her by the director's mother. She had long since discarded her original clothes and, like the others, wore animal skins.
The animal skins were heavy to wear and had a strange smell, but in order to avoid running around naked, she had no choice but to endure the smell no matter how strong it was.
Jiang Xue didn't want to discuss these issues with her anymore. She took a stone knife and pulled Xiaohua outside. "Come on, help me cut the grass."
Making shoes with rattan is a bit wasteful and troublesome. If you switch to using grass to make shoes, the comfort and lightness can be improved.
Walking out of the Snake Tribe, there is a large grassland outside. Due to the season, the grass does not look that kind of lush green, but green with a hint of burnt yellow, as if it had been roasted by fire.
"Sister Xue, can grass be used to make tools?"
Jiang Xue nodded: "Of course, but I have to process it like I did with the basket. Once I make the shoes, I'll give them to you."
Jiang Xue said this, but secretly opened the system interface to search.
She didn't know how to make straw sandals, but the raw material of straw sandals was definitely grass.
In fact, you can use rattan directly to make shoes, but if you want to wear them more comfortably, grass is better.
Moreover, grass can be found everywhere. If you are skilled in making it, if a pair of shoes is worn out, you can use local materials to make a new pair in a while. However, you will need some tools, such as a shoe rake and hemp rope.
Hemp rope is definitely not realistic because the conditions are not there, but you can use some grass rope as a substitute.
When Xiaohua heard her say that, she nodded with interest and started working quickly.
The stone knife seemed useless for cutting vines, but it was a good tool for cutting grass. The two of them cut a circle and brought back a large bundle.
After the grass is cut, the first thing to do is to twist it into ropes.
To build a house, you need to lay a foundation. Only when the foundation is solid can you add bricks and tiles layer by layer.
Making straw sandals is actually the same.
After the straw rope is twisted, it is also necessary to wrap and interweave it layer by layer, and use a straw rake to make the ropes as tight as possible.
Making straw sandals is not an easy task.
