"Wait, tell me first, that only seashells can be used to burn lime..."
"Oyster shells or conch shells, are both fine?"
Second brother Song Chengjian asked.
Wen Shishi answered with great seriousness, "The book says that oyster and conch shells can be used..."
Their main component, like seashells and limestone, is calcium carbonate...
But, second brother, you can't use the conch shell to burn lime...
Song Chengjian instinctively asked, "Why can't we use seashells?"
Wen Shishi smiled sweetly and reached out her hand to her fourth brother, Song Chengliang...
Song Chengliang immediately understood and placed the conch shell in his hand into Wen Shishi's hand.
Wen Shishi turned to her second brother, put the conch shell to her lips, and blew on it forcefully, producing a slight echo...
Song Chengjian raised an eyebrow.
Then, Wen Shishi asked, "Second Brother, can you make something and put it here?"
She gestured with her chubby fingertips at the tail of the conch shell.
"Make something here that you can blow; it will make a really nice sound..."
You can also thread a rope through it and hang it around your neck..."
Upon hearing this, Song Chenghou asked Wen Shishi, "Shishi, tell your older brother, have you ever seen something like this in the place where you used to live?"
Wen Shishi nodded obediently, "My grandpa took me to the beach, and when we saw someone selling these, he bought one for me too, along with a wind chime..."
It's hanging on my window...
Song Chenghou continued, "So, Shishi, where you live, can you make little trinkets from conch shells, or even wind chimes, and sell them to others?"
Wen Shishi nodded.
The Song brothers became serious and quickly realized that they might have discovered a business opportunity...
Their opportunities on Hainan Island can be changed...
As for how to use it, perhaps we need to consider it carefully.
The fifth brother, Song Chengyu, was a man of action. He sidled up to Wen Shishi and instructed his seventh, eighth, and other younger brothers:
"If you have eaten your fill, go to the shallows on the side and see if there are any more seashells..."
I'll try making that conch shell that Shishi mentioned that can be blown up..."
Without delay, Song Chengyao and the others immediately got up and walked towards the beach.
The eldest brother, Song Chenghou, warned, "Don't go too far, or you might get into danger."
Don't touch other seafood, some of them are dangerous...
"Understood, brother!"
"Okay!"
......
The younger brothers left laughing and joking.
Song Chengyu squatted down in front of Wen Shishi and asked her what the mouthpiece of the conch shell she used to blow was like...
Wen Shishi couldn't go into too much detail, after all, in her previous world, she was just a child...
Or perhaps you've simply blown on the conch shell a few times without studying the structure of its mouthpiece...
The second brother, Song Chengjian, was already peeling the bark off the tree branches...
At this moment, he felt the same way as Lao Wu: without tools, nothing felt right.
After obtaining Wen Shishi's consent, Song Chengyu took the conch shell and pondered how to open it at the tail...
Before he could figure it out, Song Chengjian took the conch shell from his hand...
Song Chengjian looked around, found a relatively hard piece of wood, and with swift and decisive movements, hammered a small hole into the tail of the conch...
Then he took the small tube he had made from tree bark and inserted it into the small opening at the bottom of the conch shell.
After securing it slightly, Song Chengjian handed the conch shell to Wen Shishi and extended a small tube made of rolled bark towards her, saying, "Try blowing on it..."
Wen Shishi lowered her head, put the small tube of bark in her mouth, and gently blew on it, "Hush..."
The sound was muffled, but the volume was much louder than blowing a conch shell directly.
Song Chengjian took the conch back, stuffed some more bark into the small tube made of bark, and handed it back to Wen Shishi, "Try again?"
Wen Shishi blew on it again, and her eyes immediately lit up.
The sound was clear and loud, so loud that even a fisherwoman passing by in the distance turned around to look.
The seventh and eighth brothers cheered and waved in this direction, clearly having heard about their second brother's achievement...
People are even more enthusiastic about digging for sea snails.
"Come here, let me see!"
The fifth brother, Song Chengyu, was extremely impressed. He took the conch shell from Wen Shishi and examined the small tube structure made of bark, admiring his second brother immensely.
"Oh dear! It's not that complicated!"
Use your brain and think about it!
Since its purpose is to produce sound, isn't it just like a suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument)—just give it a 'mouth'!
Song Chengjian's words were concise and to the point, and Song Chenghou understood the underlying principle.
Song Chengjian took the conch shell back and asked Wen Shishi, "Should the rope be threaded here, or here?"
Wen Shishi pointed with her fair little finger to the connection between the small tube made of tree bark and the conch shell, "Tie it here."
Not a single word more was said, which startled Song Chengjian.
I tore the bark of the branch into thin strips, and carefully scraped the outer side of the bark against the rock, worried about any splinters...
They tied a knot to make a rope. "Come on!"
Song Chengjian waved to Wen Shishi.
Wen Shishi leaned closer, her head bowing almost simultaneously with Song Chengjian hanging the conch shell around his neck...
Song Chengyu noticed that his second brother, who rarely smiled, had a smile on his lips at this moment!
Wen Shishi looked down at the small conch shell on her chest, put it in her mouth, and blew on it a few times...
With a smile, she said to Song Chengjian, "Thank you, Second Brother!"
Song Chengjian curved his lips slightly, his smile widening a bit.
Suddenly, the shouts of the younger brothers came from the beach.
"Ah! Help me!"
"Quick! Grab me!"
......
Looking over, Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian noticed that the sea level had risen further, and the waves were surging even more violently.
Old Ten's feet were stuck in the sea, as if bound by something, unable to move.
The seventh brother is handsome and intelligent, but useless; the way he tugs at the tenth brother's sleeve...
The second son, Song Chengjian, shook his head as soon as he saw it.
The eighth and ninth brothers each grabbed one of the eleventh brother's arms. The ninth brother was strong, but he still couldn't pull him off...
It's clear that the resistance trapping Lao Shi below is quite significant...
The older brothers rushed over immediately.
Wen Shishi was held in her older brother's arms.
The second brother is the most skilled, and the fourth brother is the strongest.
As they passed by, the seventh, eighth, and ninth brothers automatically stepped aside to avoid interfering with their older brother's performance.
"Ah! My hand is going to break!"
It was rare to see the usually joking and joking Lao Shi address him so seriously.
What's going on down there?
Second brother Song Chengjian asked.
"Did something bite or puncture you?"
Fourth Brother Song Chengliang asked.
They screamed so pitifully.
"No..." Song Chengxin, the tenth brother, wailed, "There are ropes binding me down there..."
