The production of the cave door went much smoother than Ayun imagined. She had no construction experience, and her braiding skills were only at the level of braiding her own hair.
As for how to make a small door, she relied entirely on her imagination.
First, place all the collected branches on the grass side by side, and then select sticks of similar thickness. The entrance of the cave is round, but there is no need to make the door round. She straightened the selected branches and cut off the excess length with a bone knife.
Then measure the width, and use the collected slender and flexible leaves to overlap and intersperse between the side-by-side branches, which is a bit like tic-tac-toe weaving. After connecting all the branches in series, Ayun picked two thicker branches. Tie them sideways to the row of branches so they don't dangle limply like a suspension bridge.
Very good, very good... Ayun tied the branches very briskly, watching the branches turn into a small ugly wooden door little by little. This was much more fulfilling than making a fire or finding food. After sweating profusely for more than two hours, Ayun was so excited that he held up his small wooden door and ran up and down the hillside.
It’s too much like a wooden door, too much like a wooden door! What a sense of accomplishment. Ayun looked at the wooden door in his hand, and he liked it no matter how he looked at it. But then she faced the second problem, which was how to install the door? If it were simply placed at the entrance of the cave, it would be no different from a pile of stones...
She hugged the wooden door and squatted at the entrance of the cave to think. The entrance of the cave was originally just a circle of soft soil. After Ayun moved in, he stuffed some sticks and stones into the soil to strengthen the entrance. Because he was distracted at the time, he did not pay special attention to the beauty of the cave entrance, which resulted in the entrance of the cave looking like It was Simmons who had a lot of springs and cotton coming out of the hole.
Is now the time for beauty? No, but Ayun discovered... The wooden door in her hand gave her great encouragement. Being able to make something pretty and practical with her own hands could boost her morale. This is why some places where leaders hold meetings must be grand and spacious.
From here on, Ayun raised her hand and tied her hair again... Speaking of hair, luckily the rubber band on her head was still there, otherwise she wouldn't know how to take care of her hair. Maybe she should find time to put her hair away. Cut it off? But the bone knife is obviously not sharp enough, so using it to trim hair is a dream.
Well...thinking about it this way, Tisuo and the others also have longer hair. Ayun began to recall the big horse ride yesterday. Tisuo's hair was very dull, but surprisingly there was no smell and it looked very clean.
This is actually a very strange thing. At that time, Ayun was too happy to ride the horse and didn't think about it carefully. Looking back now... isn't it very abnormal? Tisso was a savage from the dinosaur age tens of thousands of years ago, so how could he not stink? Logically speaking, it should be super smelly.
The answer must be very simple. There must be something that can clean the body and hair in Tisuo's settlement, that is, something similar to soap.
Ayun's eyes shone. Although she doesn't have this technology now, since this era can make things to clean the body, she can learn it sooner or later!
Ayun's level of confidence now is not as if he had created a wooden door tens of thousands of years ago, but as if he had created a rocket out of thin air tens of thousands of years ago. She happily adjusted the shape of the cave entrance with her hands, pulling out the branches and roots that were scattered outside or pressing them into the soil.
After beating for a while, the entrance of the cave changed from an irregular circle to a very beautiful arch, and the height and width were slightly expanded. Now the entrance of the cave is almost half her height.
Ayun tried to make a slot to jam the door at the entrance of the cave so that it could be pushed and pulled normally. However, after several attempts, it was still a bit difficult, because the structure of earth and stone will loosen after being rotated and opened by the wooden door many times. The tools Ayun has now can only press the wooden door to the entrance of the cave like a push-button.
Is this okay? Ayun looked at the door he had made and had already built at the entrance of the cave. Now that the door is in place, the place looks a little more presentable.
Great, just keep going like this!
After the door was finished, it was almost 6 o'clock. Ayun started to rest after eating. She sat on a relatively high slope and stared at the rainforest in the distance in a daze. Whenever there is nothing special to do, Ayun will miss books and other things to pass the time.
I wonder how Tisuo and the others passed their time?
"Ayun——————"
Not long after thinking this way, Ayun heard a familiar voice coming from the bottom of the hillside. She now vaguely thinks that maybe she has become something that Tisso uses to pass the time...but that's not possible! There's nothing interesting about her, she's just a weird-looking guy who can move and scream.
"Ayun, today, *%&." It didn't take long for Tisuo to come to Ayun. He still looked so energetic, and this time he also brought some food. "Ayun, today." He looked at Ayun sat on the ground and came over to sit next to Ayun and began to show what he had brought.
Flakes, fruit, jerky and a... fish.
Maybe it’s a fish, maybe it’s a fish! Although it seems to be as big as an arm and has weird little reptile-like fins, it still looks like a fish! !
Ayun's eyes lit up, and in an instant, all the words "You can't rely on Tisuo", "You have to do your own things yourself" and "Don't be too shameless" disappeared, and there were only three words in his mind.
It's a fish
It's not grilled fish, but it seems to have been dried... and there are some strange grass fragments on it: "What is this? Is this for me? Can I eat it?!" Ayun looked at Tisuo excitedly.
Although she had just yelled at her yesterday, Tisuo did not show sadness or anger... Ayun felt guilty, and at the same time, she was confused about Tisuo's behavior of constantly providing food to her.
"Ayun, eat, Guza... Guza, eat." Tisuo was startled by Ayun's mood, his long ears stood up a little, and his pupils became smaller. "I am friendly."
As he spoke, Tisuo peeled off the thick skin on the belly of the fish with his hands, revealing the air-dried brown meat inside. At the same time, a faint fishy smell unique to fish was emitted. Tisuo threw the fish skin to the Then he took out a whole piece of fish belly and handed it to Ayun: "That!"
After the fish belly meat was handed over, Ayun felt that she had lost her memory. When she came to her senses, she had eaten all the fish except the bones, and her eyes were filled with tears. This was not a metaphor, she was really filled with tears. Because it's so delicious.
This fish is definitely not as good as the grilled fish and pickled fish that Ayun used to eat, but now the taste is in his mouth, no matter how he tastes it, it feels like it only exists in a dream.
"Woooo..." Ayun still had some fish stuffed in her mouth, and she was holding the fish skin in her hand, because there was still a trace of fish meat left on the skin. "Tisuo, thank you... This is the best food I have ever eaten here. It’s delicious, woo woo woo…”
She is so happy now, but also so sad. Needless to say, happiness, the fish in the hand can explain everything... Sadness is because Tisuo can always easily do things that she can't do. Although there is nothing I can do about it, I just feel so sad.
The feeling of not being able to live well alone is really terrible...
As for Tisuo, he had been confused and panicked since he brought the fish and other food. He first saw Ayun screaming and laughing, gnawing the fish like a wild beast. Now I watched her gnawing on the remaining fish skin and crying loudly.
"Ayun..." Tisuo reached out and patted her head, and then on the shoulder, "Ayun! Happy? Still...sad?"
After being cared for like this, Ayun felt that he couldn't hold it anymore. She made a very unpleasant cry and got into Tisuo's arms.
"I made the door...I made the door for the cave. I felt very happy at first and felt that I had done a good job." She hugged the rope regardless, out of breath, and started speaking in her native language. Talking randomly, "I want to go home... I hope to be at home every day when I open my eyes. Even if it is not home, it can be a rental house. Although I made a very good door, it is still not as good as the apartment building." iron gate."
"I don't want to be on tenterhooks every night, I want a desk lamp, I want to be able to lie in bed at night, I want to order takeout... I want to talk to people normally, I want to go out to drink milk tea with friends..."
Tisuo was frightened. He froze for a while, letting Ayun in his arms speak words he didn't understand. Why are you unhappy? He ate fish meat, which he brought out quietly from the village without telling others, because Ayun seemed to be angry yesterday and he wanted to use fish to express friendship. Did you do something wrong? Why are you crying.
He felt the skinny man in his arms shaking more and more violently, and the arms hugged him tighter and tighter. Tisuo did not dare to act rashly. He hoped that Ayun could tell him what he should do now to make her happy. Unfortunately, communication between the two of them was difficult.
"Ayun..." Tisuo looked down at the top of Ayun's head. Her head was very small, and it was very small everywhere. It was completely different from them. Although her eyes with only one pupil were a bit scary, she would get used to it after looking at them for a long time. "Ayun, be happy, Tisuo."
She tried talking to Ayun, but to no avail. She still buried her head in his arms and muttered difficult words to herself.
"Milk tea..." Tisuo filtered out the words he could pronounce from the long list of words. He remembered that he could make her look happy by imitating Ayun's words: "Milk tea, go home... so tired. Hot pot and..."
After muttering for a while, it really worked. Ayun began to calm down gradually, partly because she had finished venting, and partly because Tisuo's imitation of her speaking tone was very funny, like a foreigner who had just started learning Chinese.
"I'm sorry." Ayun pulled away awkwardly. She seemed to have left a lot of snot and tears on Tisuo's strong chest... There was no special feeling when she broke down just now, but now that she thinks about it, she seems to have taken advantage of the opportunity.
Seeing Ayun calm down, Tisuo also breathed a sigh of relief: "Ayun, we..." He gestured twice, pointing to Ayun's mouth and then to his own.
"We, talk, Tisuo, think, Ayun." He said every word, looking at Ayun very seriously, "Speaking, we are the same."
Following Tisuo's movements, Ayun could barely guess the meaning... Tisuo wanted to communicate with her, and wanted to know more about what she was saying and thinking.
"Cry... think, understand." Tisuo held Ayun's arm and shook it a few times, "We are friendly."
