Chapter 86 Research on the Grass Cloak: The Caravan Returns
While the flower fairies enjoyed their weekend, Shu Xin also happily took a break for herself.
These past two days, Shu Xin has been sleeping in late. Even after dawn, when her biological clock wakes her up automatically, she closes her eyes and continues to sleep, sleeping straight through until noon.
After waking up, Shu Xin didn't get out of bed. She rolled up the big leaves of the Tree of Life and put her pillow on it, making a high and comfortable enough cushion. She then pulled the little lamb into her arms as a plush pillow. Lazily, she cleared her mind and didn't want to think about anything. Shu Xin lay on the soft bed, completely relaxed and lost in thought.
The magical cat sensed that Shu Xin had woken up and would return to the bedroom to keep her company. Shu Xin put the little lamb on her lap, hugged the little black cat in her arms, and then lay back in a daze until she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, at which point she would get up and go downstairs.
After casting shrinking and confusion spells on herself, Shu Xin and the flower fairies happily went to the bakery to get acorn bread to eat, and then went to the brewery to get acorn wine to drink.
However, Shu Xin still paced back and forth a few times with some concern. She worried that some flower fairies might overindulge in food and cause themselves health problems due to a lack of self-control. The conclusion she reached after checking around left Shu Xin with mixed feelings—
Among all these flower fairies, whether commoners, slaves, or servants, not one of them took more than their share. They all took enough to fill their stomachs and then flew away. There were some particularly greedy flower fairies, but they would simply fly around the huge workshop in groups after they had eaten and drunk their fill, enthusiastically sniffing the aroma of bread and wine. They would not take more than their share, nor would they take the opportunity to secretly hide things in their own huts.
Shu Xin would order the flower fairies to freely take acorn bread and acorn wine from the workshop, which was somewhat of a test. The character and morality displayed by the flower fairies did not surprise Shu Xin.
Just thinking about the tragic consequences of the river elf being tricked away from home by a human magician made Shu Xin's mood involuntarily heavy.
Kindness is often taken advantage of, and a good horse is often ridden. The overly kind river spirits were nearly wiped out. Shu Xin thought to herself, if she ever has to deal with humans in the future, she must make the flower fairies realize the complexities and treacherous nature of humankind!
The pleasant and relaxing day off ended, and the workday arrived as scheduled. The flower fairies all began their work, and Shuxin also began her continued research on the ground-attached grass.
Inspired by the way the flower fairies and slaves used the ground grass, Shu Xin also tried to peel the grass leaves. She tried many times and finally found that peeling a grass leaf into three thin layers was the best. Not only would it become softer, but the concentration of the secreted grass juice would also be just right. If it was only peeled into two layers, the grass leaf would be a bit hard. If it was peeled into more than three layers, it would be too thin and the grass leaf would easily crack.
After peeling the grass leaves into three layers, cut each layer into the shape of a cloak. Then, using finely ground flower petals and the stickiness of the grass juice, evenly coat each grass leaf with a layer of the mixture. Then, glue the three leaves back together and place them in the sun to dry. Finally, let the grass leaves dry completely and the grass juice solidify completely. A super mini grass leaf cloak is then formed.
This is also an exquisite cloak with a smooth exterior, soft lining, thick texture, and refreshing colors!
It looks perfect, but the biggest problem is that the cloak can't be worn—
Because it was a smooth cloak without any ties, it couldn't be secured. Shu Xin, in her flower fairy slave form, tried wearing it, but could only drape it over her body. If she didn't hold the collar with both hands, the cloak would slip off.
After pondering for a while, Shu Xin turned her gaze to the unknown woven grass plant. She then began to study how to twist the grass plant into rope and string it onto the grass cloak as a tie. Then she encountered more problems, such as how to process the grass plant to twist into a good rope, and what kind of rope to twist into a usable rope. After finally twisting a rope that was strong and thin enough, how to string the rope onto the grass cloak without damaging it...
Just as Shu Xin finally finished making a grass cloak that could be tied securely and worn on her body, the caravan that had gone out to trade for acorns also returned safely.
Accompanied by clear chirps, one after another, Windfeathered Eagles descended from the sky against the strong winds of the Land of Sin.
Each Windfeathered Eagle returned laden with its bounty. Not only did they carry stacks of straw bags on their backs, but each eagle also carried several bulging straw bags on its two claws. At first glance, you couldn't see the snow-white birds; you could only see large bags flying in the air!
Shu Xin felt that the Wind Feather Eagle was indeed a white-feathered bird that the feather trainer had specially recommended to her; its grasping and load-bearing abilities were indeed very strong!
Following the instructions, after unloading all the cargo, Elana, the lead wind-feathered eagle, called out to the flower fairy, then flapped her wings and led the birds into the sky.
Shu Xin looked up and watched the white-feathered birds fly higher and higher until they became tiny dots and disappeared into the clear, cloudless sky.
If given the chance, Shu Xin really wanted to see how the Wind Feather Eagles built their nests on the clouds—she really couldn't see a single cloud in the sky of the Land of Sin!
"Flower Fairy!" a soft voice came from a straw bag in the open space, "Please help me open this bag!"
Shu Xin was stunned. Was that Pepper's voice?! Had he stuffed himself into a bag full of acorns?
The servants of the Flower Castle rushed over and untied the tightly tied opening of the straw bag. The next moment, Pepper flew out of the bag with a face full of excitement.
Peppert was extremely proud, whether from excessive excitement or from being cooped up in the bag for too long, his face was flushed as he loudly proclaimed:
"Fairy! We've exchanged all the acorn wine for acorns! There are still many acorns we couldn't bring back. Papak and the others are still waiting outside. The Windwing Eagles will rest tonight, and tomorrow we'll set off again to bring back all the remaining acorns! Fairy, many flower fairies still want our acorn wine! If you agree, we can set off again tomorrow with the acorn wine. Everyone has prepared the acorns, just waiting for us to bring the acorn wine!"
