Chapter Ninety-Nine Look! There's a goose here that's not happy! We
Bai Xuemei stretched out her hand to pull off the down of a big goose that she had kicked off Little Pea's head, and threw it away.
But the next moment, she quickly reached out to catch the fluff that was still floating in the air and falling down.
The fluff was light, and when driven by the wind from her palm, it immediately started to fly up and down.
It took me a while to get it into my hands.
Children are very playful and often do not have long-term memories.
If you are slightly distracted by other things, it is easy to forget what just happened.
For example, little Myolie, who was scared by the goose just now, was crying, and Little Dou, who looked at her mother with admiration, immediately forgot what had just happened after discovering this interesting thing.
Already.
The two people picked up some other down from the goose that their mother had kicked off the goose, threw it in the air, grabbed it with their little hands, or raised their heads, puffed up their cheeks and blew hard to make it fly higher.
, having a great time.
Little Myolie, whose tears hadn't disappeared yet, was giggling and extremely happy.
Bai Xuemei stood here without moving, holding the down in her hand, looking at the down in her hand, her eyes were bright, and there seemed to be energy flowing inside.
This down was very light, but to Bai Xuemei's mind, it was as heavy as a mountain.
Well, that's how it comes to being lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai.
The down on this goose is smooth to the touch and warm in your hands, which is very comfortable.
Bai Xuemei discovered that she seemed to have found a way to make a new, very warm clothes.
In winter, when the weather is so cold, the geese and ducks spend the winter wearing such clothes.
Not only that, they also wear such clothes to swim in the water in winter, and even dive directly into the water, showing no sign of being afraid of the cold.
This is all because they have such feathers!
How warm would it be if you took all the feathers off their bodies and made them into clothes?
Not to mention in the winter, you can wear it like geese and ducks to take a bath in the water. As long as you can walk in the heavy snow without feeling cold.
After this method and knowledge came to mind, Bai Xuemei became extremely excited.
Because this is indeed very feasible.
In the past, people in the tribe, including her, only focused on the prey running on the ground, as well as the flax-like plants and silkworm-like insects growing on the ground, but they always looked at the birds flying in the sky.
Forgot.
The fur of prey running on the ground can be peeled off and made into clothes for people to wear. So why can't the feathers of birds flying in the air be made into clothes for people to wear?
Bai Xuemei, holding a piece of down in her hand, became more and more excited as she thought about it, and the joy on her face became more and more intense.
The emergence of this idea was like a closed window being suddenly pushed open, allowing her to see a whole new direction.
She stood here for a while, then ran outside and charged at the group of geese that were escaping in a hurry.
The geese that had just calmed down suddenly panicked when they saw Bai Xuemei charging towards them. They didn't want to experience the feeling of taking off again, so they ran away.
I have seen people protecting calves, but I have never seen people protecting calves like this.
However, this time it was destined to not run away. The big goose that had pecked the little pea's head was immediately picked up from the ground by Bai Xuemei's neck.
With different postures, I once again experienced the feeling of flying.
There are also some loyal geese among them. When two geese saw their companions being treated like this by Bai Xuemei, they fluttered their broken wings, stretched out their long necks, and rushed up screaming.
However, this was of no use, as Bai Xuemei kicked them all and sent them flying into the sky.
I have experienced the feeling of flying, but it is different from the goose that has flown into the sky and seen the world. After landing, it shakes its head vigorously, then screams in terror, and runs away without looking back, no longer thinking about rescuing its companions.
thing.
It’s not that the goose is unloyal, it’s that the humans who protect their young are too cruel.
Bai Xuemei ignored the other geese that ran away and only focused on the one she caught.
Holding the thin and long neck of the goose, she felt something familiar. She stepped on the two soles of the goose with one foot slightly to prevent it from moving randomly. Then she took off the head rope with one hand and pulled it
The flapping wings were tied together, and the goose immediately became calmer.
Just when it thought the nightmare was over, it was actually just beginning.
Bai Xue found two ropes from other places and tied up its legs and its biting mouth.
Then, under the horrified gaze of this previously extremely arrogant goose, Bai Xuemei, who seemed to have transformed into a female gangster, began to pluck out the down on its body piece by piece.
Well, this down is equivalent to clothing for the goose.
The goose, which was tied up and unable to move, fell to the ground, its dark eyes filled with fear.
Female gangsters, especially violent ones, are really scary.
Didn't you just bully your child? Why would you go to war and bully a goose like this?
Goose doesn’t want to lose face?
The goose doesn’t need to maintain a tall and mighty image in front of the goose?
If time could be turned back, even if the two naughty children were running here to bully the goose, the male goose who was pinned to the ground would never dare to bite them again.
Maybe it will also use its unique method to order the mother goose to stand there and not move around...
Little Wandou and Little Myolie, who ran over from the inner courtyard when they heard the sound, saw the arrogant goose being treated like this by their mother, and they immediately clapped their little hands happily.
The admiration and admiration for his mother is slowly rising.
After standing here and watching for a while, the two little guys also joined the procession of plucking the feathers from the goose.
This family of three is simply the embodiment of Bai Yun, they are all equally stubborn.
For such a big goose, the three of them had to catch it in one place and pull it out violently.
Among them, the young Myolie still has some obsessive-compulsive disorder. When she saw that there were still one or two hairs in the place where she had been pulled out, she kindly stretched out her little hand to pull them out...
So, when Bai Xuemei and his three sisters stopped, untied the rope from the goose, and let the goose go, the feathers on half of the goose's neck and the lower half of its chest were gone, and it looked like
It's like wearing a unique vest, and it looks particularly powerful and domineering...
This battered goose did not dare to stay here any longer. The battered goose ran outside to find the remaining geese.
The other geese that were foraging were stunned when they saw this guy's unique appearance. A piece of grass fell from one of the guys' mouth...
Bai Xuemei didn't have time to pay attention to what kind of treatment that mighty and domineering goose would receive.
At this time, her mind was full of thinking about how to use these feathers to make new clothes.
She carefully wrapped these feathers and brought them to the room.
Give little peas and little Xing'er three feathers each, and let them go to the yard to jump and play, lest the wind blows the light feathers flying all over the sky.
Bai Xuemei was sitting in the house thinking about how to make these feathers into clothes.
After staring at these very fresh feathers for a while, Bai Xuemei encountered a problem again.
The problem was that she didn't know how to make the feathers into wearable clothing.
After worrying about this for a while, she thought of the witch and the feather crowns that the next witch and Shitou would wear when offering sacrifices.
These feather crests are composed of three rings and feathers tied to the rings.
If I did the same thing...
Thinking of this, Bai Xuemei immediately became excited and started to practice.
But she soon discovered that this method didn't work at all, because the crests on the witches and stones were made of the big feathers on the wings, and all she plucked were small feathers. She wanted a
It's really difficult to tie them on.
She originally wanted to go find the goose and borrow some feathers from its wings, but she thought about it and stopped.
The large feathers on the wings are not as warm as the small feathers.
The tribe has been raising poultry for such a long time, so Bai Xuemei still knows about this.
The reason she wanted to make new clothes was to fight the severe cold.
Big feathers are not warm, so there is no need to use them to make clothes.
As a result, Bai Xuemei fell into trouble again.
After I don't know how long this state lasted, Bai Xuemei took action again.
She found a piece of linen clothing of her own, took the small dustpan where the needle and thread were placed, and began to sew the small fluffs one by one into the inside of the clothing, doing it very seriously and carefully...
Time passed slowly, and it was already night in a blink of an eye.
After Little Wandou and Little Myolie fell asleep, Bai Xuemei sat on the kang, leaning against the wall behind her, and continued sewing stitch by stitch by the light of the dim oil lamp.
As she pulled her, the sound of a rope threading through her clothes sounded. Under the illumination of the orange oil lamp, it looked particularly warm and made the night even more tranquil.
As Bai Xuemei kept moving, she used needle and thread to sew feathers one by one to the inside of her clothes.
A few days passed by, and after catching a few more geese and giving them unique shapes, this unique, original version of the down jacket sewn by Bai Xuemei was finally officially released.
Bai Xuemei put it on and felt it carefully. It was indeed very warm. After wearing it for a while, she could not help but sweat.
This made her extremely happy. After all, she had also created a new kind of clothes that could keep out the cold and keep warm.
After being happy like this for a while, Bai Xuemei stopped again. She tilted her head and thought for a while, then took off the original down jacket and found some winter clothes from the cabinet made of logs.
These clothes are basically all kinds of fur products, which are soft against the body and warm when worn.
Bai Xuemei found a set of clothes she had worn last winter and put them on. Not long after she put them on, she started sweating and was even hotter than the original down jacket she had just worn.
After such a comparison, she immediately understood the truth - the clothes sewn with feathers and linen felt warmer on her body, not because it was warm, but because the weather was not particularly cold yet, and it was not yet warm.
Cold winter.
This means that the clothes I put a lot of effort into making are actually far less warm than animal skins...
Such a discovery made Bai Xuemei very depressed.
This is a normal phenomenon. Anyone who finds that something they have worked hard for for a long time does not achieve the desired result will not feel any better than Bai Xuemei.
However, this kind of frustration did not last long. As a person who is very good at weaving silk threads into cloth, Bai Xuemei has enough patience and resilience.
She put the winter clothes back into the cabinet, then picked up the linen garment with many feathers sewn on it and continued to look at it, looking for a solution.
After looking at it for a while, she really discovered the problem.
The problem she discovered was that there were too few feathers sewn into the clothes!
Even though she had sewed as many feathers as possible on it before, the feathers on this dress still seemed relatively sparse, far less dense than the feathers on the goose.
After realizing this problem, and then thinking about the clothes made of her hot and sweaty fur not long ago, she suddenly understood what she needed to do next...
There is a goose in the goose pen. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. It looks depressed. It’s really heartbreaking to see it.
Bai Xuemei is an extremely kind-hearted person. Not only can she not bear to see people suffer, she can also stand the suffering of geese.
She knew the method of treatment, which was similar to the legend. Cao Cao suffered from a severe headache and sought out the famous doctor Hua Tuo. The treatment method Hua Tuo then gave was similar in approach but equally effective - this is easy, just chop the head with a sharp ax...
So, this depressed goose was carried out by Bai Xuemei.
I didn't use a sharp ax to chop off the head, I just held its long and thin neck with both hands and twisted it hard, and the disease was completely cured...
Bai Xuemei stood in front of the tree stump, holding a sharp copper knife in her hand, and carefully skinned the big goose.
In the past, when the tribe ate goose, it was the same as killing chickens. They put them in a clay pot and scalded them slightly with boiling water, then the feathers could be plucked and then the stomach could be disemboweled.
But this time it was different. This time Bai Xuemei wanted to get their fur to test whether it could be used to make warm clothes, so she directly used a knife to peel it off.
