Chapter 300 Entering The Mountain
Li Lili said in surprise: "Ah, yes, that's the smell of soap. Captain, how did you think of it?"
"The main component of plant ash is potassium carbonate. In fact, practical oil and plant ash can be used to make soap, but the effect is not very good, and the decontamination ability is poor. The main component of shells is calcium carbonate, which becomes calcium oxide after high-temperature calcination. Once mixed with potassium carbonate solution, the strong base potassium hydroxide is replaced, and then mixed with oil, after the reaction, it becomes a soap with good effect."
"Captain, you are too powerful."
"Okay, these soaps are enough for us for half a year."
"Well, definitely enough."
"Okay, it's getting late, go to rest."
"But there is no cover tonight, what should I do if it gets colder?"
Wang Yuan thought for a while, went to get the woven bag to dry, and said: "There is a way, the dried grass is dry, come, let's put the grass in."
"All right."
There were only four bags of hay, and Wang Yuan sealed the mouth of the bags with a rope, and spread three bags across the foam boards of the two women. Woven bag, it must not be cold anymore."
After finishing speaking, Wang Yuan lay down to rest with a bag of hay in his arms, leaving the two women standing there messy.
The two women had no choice but to lie down and covered with two layers of woven bags, but it was indeed comfortable and warm.
"Pfft!" Wang Yuan blew out the oil lamp and gradually fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning, the hay bag in my arms turned into a curled up delicate body, with a long leg draped around the waist, and the bag of hay was covered on my body.
Slowly drew out his arms, gently moved away the long leg, and quietly got up.
Take a large piece of crocodile meat off the rack outside and put it in an oil drum to soak in water.
Pulled out a small piece of charcoal from under the stove, chewed it in his mouth, picked out a piece of soap from the luncheon meat can, put it in a plastic bag, and walked into the canyon with Erwang with the bucket.
The water flow in the river was almost cut off. After walking a long way, I found a puddle and put a bucket of water aside.
I squatted down and spat out the chewed charcoal in my mouth, rinsed my mouth, and washed my hair with soap. The homemade soap is quite powerful, with rich foam and strong decontamination ability.
After washing up and carrying the bucket back to the shed, the two girls had already gone to the toilet.
Take out the soaked meat, chop off two pieces and feed them to the second king, and chop the rest into small pieces.
Put the pieces into the pot and stew on it.
I lit a cigarette, picked up the two slippers that Li Lili picked up, removed the uppers, put the soles together, took a piece of charcoal, drew a circle on the big soles, and cut off the excess with a dagger.
I picked up a piece of crocodile skin, cut two trapezoids, compared it with the sole, found a wire and burned it red, and perforated the crocodile skin and the edge of the sole together.
I found two thin nylon ropes, one on the bottom and the other on top, and used iron wire to pass the thin ropes through the small holes, just like sewing clothes, sewed the crocodile skin to the sole of the shoe, and tied the two ends of the rope together.
When both sides are sewn on, one slipper is ready, and soon the other is also ready.
"Captain, are the slippers ready?" When the two women came back from washing, Li Lili saw the slippers in Wang Yuan's hand for the first time.
"Well, let's see if it fits."
Li Lili hurried over, took off the straw sandals, stretched her jade feet into the slippers, took two steps, and said, "Captain, it fits well, but it's a little hard, and the right foot is still a little rubbed."
"This is rawhide. It's normal to be hard. It will be fine after wearing it for a long time. I'll repair it for you if your feet are rubbed."
Li Lili took off her slippers and pointed out the location, and Wang Yuan used a dagger to cut off the hair there.
Li Lili tried again, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's very comfortable."
The slippers are a bit rough, but with the delicate jade feet, they look elegant and classy.
Wang Yuan put some salt into the basin and said, "Okay, let's eat."
After the three of them had breakfast, they cleaned up. Wang Yuan lit a cigarette and said, "Lili, Awei, let's go into the mountains today and find other food. After all, we can't just eat meat and seafood. Long-term lack of vitamins is a serious problem." It is very easy to get sick, and it is very dangerous to get sick when there is a lack of medical care here."
"Okay. What do we need to prepare?"
"Put two bottles of water in a pannier on your back, and just bring your weapon, and tie your trousers tightly with a rope."
Wang Yuan pried open two more bullets, poured gunpowder into a bottle, dissolved it with water, and sprinkled it on the trouser legs and straw sandals of the three men.
"Set off!"
The three of them led the second king into the woods from the south hillside. The woods just after the rain gave birth to a lot of mushrooms, but most of them were inedible.
As long as they saw edible Wang Yuan, they would pick them up and let the two girls get to know each other. Walking through this forest, the three of them picked seven or eight mushrooms.
See Li Lili's physical strength
Some couldn't keep up, so they cut off a straight branch, cut it into a harpoon, and gave it to Li Lili to walk on it, saving a lot of energy.
Passing through the woods, you reach the ridge, where various vines and unknown weeds are intertwined.
Although there are no trees, the vegetation is very thick. Under this vegetation, there are likely to be some snakes, rats and ants hidden.
Holding a machete, Wang Yuan slashed at the plants blocking the way, and walked along the ridge to the top of the mountain. There was a small fault-like loess slope in front of him, with no plants on it, and some shrubs at the top of the slope. A large rock on the top of the mountain.
Although the walking speed was slower, it was much safer. The slashing along the way scared away a lot of wild animals, and from time to time I heard rustling in the grass. The second king was not hungry, otherwise he would definitely chase him out.
And many good things were found in these vegetation.
There are more than a dozen wild onions in a cluster, and all of them are dug out. This thing can be cultivated by itself. As long as the onion at the root is not damaged, it can be grown like leeks. As long as the climate is suitable, one crop will grow again.
I also dug two wild ginger trees, and the branches and leaves of wild ginger are relatively tall, so they are more conspicuous. On this ridge, I can see several trees with similar branches and leaves, but the distance is far away, so it is impossible to distinguish whether it is real or not. , now the main task is to go up to the top of the mountain and observe the surrounding environment, and the rest will be discussed later.
Among the criss-crossing vines, a lot of Pueraria vines were found, and after following the vines, two old roots were found.
Wang Yuan asked the two women to dig up one plant each, and continued to open the way.
We finally arrived at the small soil slope, which should have been washed and collapsed by the rain, and it hadn't been too long, and the collapsed mound was already covered with plants.
The slope is not high, about two meters, and it can be rushed up with a run-up.
There are more than a dozen holes the size of eggs distributed on the slope, and there are a few fallen fruits under the slope, the color of which is like a tomato, and the shape and size of a winter jujube.
At this time, the two girls came over after digging the kudzu root.
"Wang Yuan, look, it's so long!"
"Captain, the root I dug is really thick."
Wang Yuan saw that they each held a kudzu root in their hands. Awei's was about two meters long, and Li Lili's was about one meter long, about the thickness of her calf.
"Well, yes, we have supplements of starch."
