Chapter 15 Crafts
He was very skilled at weaving baskets and finished the bottom in no time. Because he had a lot of things to put in the basket, he made a bottom that was about 80 centimeters long and in diameter.
Lin Baiyan could foresee that with this wicker basket, they would be able to bring back even more bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest.
According to Lu Xiao's timing, the snow season will begin in about a month.
According to Lu Xiao's description, the snow season on the Orc Continent is raging with snowstorms, and since this place is located in the north, it is easy to imagine that it will not be easy to get through. At this time, they need to store more food to prepare for any eventuality.
The young man lost track of time while he was doing this, and it wasn't until Rabbit Forest started calling his name that he looked up at the sky.
There was no sun, so he couldn't tell what time it was.
The wicker basket in my hands is almost finished weaving; all that's missing is adding a handle or a carrying strap.
He thought about it and decided that handles would be more convenient, so he twisted two rattan strips together into a braid and fixed them to both sides of the rattan basket.
"Baiyan, why are you still here? We should go back." Tu Lin followed the direction he pointed to Lin Baiyan and found the young man sitting under a tree amidst a pile of green vines.
Lin Baiyan patted the leaves off his body and happily pointed to the wicker basket he had just woven for Tu Lin to see, "Uncle Tu Lin, look, this is the wicker basket I was talking about. We can use it to carry bamboo shoots, which will save a lot of effort!"
Tu Lin looked in the direction Lin Baiyan pointed out and saw a round thing that looked a bit like a stone pot.
He walked over in surprise, picked up the wicker basket, and then stared wide-eyed in astonishment, "So light?"
How much can this hold?
Lin Baiyan nodded, "Yes, but it's very sturdy and can hold a lot of bamboo shoots!"
As he spoke, he demonstrated by picking up many stones from the surrounding area and throwing them into the wicker basket for Tu Lin to try.
Tu Lin stepped forward suspiciously, "This thing is so light, can it support the stone?"
He was very careful at first, afraid that the wicker basket would fall apart.
Seeing how cautious he was, Lin Baiyan stepped forward and wanted to demonstrate for him personally.
I couldn't lift it...
The young man's expression froze as soon as he started working; he had overestimated his malnourished body.
Tu Lin looked at Lin Baiyan nervously, "Wh-what's wrong?" Is it about to fall apart?
The young man casually released his hand from the other's, gesturing for Tu Lin to come over, "Uncle Tu Lin, you can do it."
Waaaaah, I really need to work out!
Lin Baiyan felt like crying but had no tears. This body was really too weak. It only had the appearance of a black-footed cat, but its combat power was far from matching!
Tu Linyi stepped forward and easily lifted the wicker basket. He looked at Lin Baiyan in surprise, then at the stones inside the basket.
If it were bamboo shoots instead, he would have to make at least two trips to carry that many!
He immediately realized how important this thing was to them right now.
Lin Baiyan smiled as he looked at Tu Lin's shocked expression.
He knew that as soon as the wicker baskets were woven, the beastmen would immediately feel their convenience.
"This thing is really useful." Tu Lin touched the wicker basket in his hands with great affection.
"Let's get some more green vines to take back. Tonight I'll teach everyone how to weave baskets, and we can use them tomorrow!" Lin Baiyan bent down and picked out the stones from the basket.
"Are you willing to teach them this?"
The young man nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course, Uncle Rabbit Forest."
He turned and smiled at Rabbit Forest, "You are all my people now!"
When Tu Lin heard what the young man said, his eyes welled up with tears. He nodded firmly and replied softly, "Yes, we are all members of our clan now."
After saying that, they started helping Lin Baiyan tidy up the vines. The two of them pulled out a lot of vines from that large patch of willow trees.
When they returned, Tu Lin's basket was full of green vines, and the young man was carrying a large pile in his arms.
When they arrived at the meeting place in the forest, the Asians were all carrying the food they had gathered. Lu Xiao looked at them and saw that they had brought back a bunch of green vines. She asked curiously, "Bai Yan, what are you doing bringing back a bunch of green vines? I've eaten them before, and they don't taste good. They're very bitter."
He was so hungry he couldn't stand it anymore, and he even ate the leaves of the green vines. The sour and astringent taste was something only those who tasted it could understand; it was so bitter that he trembled all over.
Lin Baiyan explained with a smile, "This isn't food; it's for weaving baskets."
As he spoke, he took out the wicker basket from Tu Lin's hands to show everyone.
The sub-beastmen circled the wicker basket curiously, occasionally lifting it, and the young man then demonstrated its function to them.
Everyone praised it highly and unanimously decided to weave many rattan baskets.
Lu Xiao said excitedly, "With the wicker baskets, we'll definitely be able to carry even more food back to the tribe tomorrow!"
The other sub-beastmen nodded in agreement.
The group of sub-beastmen returned to the cave with the food they had gathered.
While they were out, the beastmen in the cave were not idle either. The male beastmen were polishing the stone pot to make it thinner, while the sub-beastmen were using the ashes left over from burning firewood the night before to knead animal hides.
The cubs weren't idle either, because the male beastmen wouldn't let them run too far, so the little guys gathered a lot of dry firewood from the forest near the cave.
The kitten Xia, with her bottom sticking up, carried a piece of firewood bigger than herself and dragged it into the cave with all her might. Even though she couldn't lift it, the little one still tried very hard.
Suddenly, the firewood flew into the air, and Xia the kitten stared blankly at the boy who picked up the firewood.
Then I found myself suspended in mid-air.
With a stern face, Lang Yun put the firewood into his arms, picked her up as well, and walked into the cave. "Next time you can't move it, you can call for help."
"Meow?"
Little Wolf Cloud remained expressionless. "I don't understand."
He's not a cat-like beastman.
"Meow meow~" Thank you!
"Okay, I understand." The two little ones, though talking at cross purposes, were strangely on the same wavelength.
The old orc monkey, who was sharpening his bone-cutting knife, smiled as he watched the large group of people bustling about in the cave, and his hands moved even faster.
Because they come from different places, everyone has different ways of processing animal hides. For example, today's sub-orc fox shadow, Lin Baiyan saw him take out a small bone knife and first scrape off all the fat on the animal hide.
Then rub the wood ash evenly onto the bark, and finally pour clean water over it repeatedly.
Sensing movement outside the cave, the male orc Pig Mountain cautiously went out to investigate. Seeing that it was the gathering team returning, he lowered his head again to continue polishing the stone pot.
Lin Baiyan and the others put down the bamboo shoots they were holding, and then an orc took them to peel off the outer skin and process the bamboo shoots.
Everyone noticed the strangely shaped round basket in Tu Lin's hand.
