Chapter 453 Nonsense, you were the one who laughed the happiest at that time!
Bifang wrapped his feet with soft branches covered with leaves and took Leonardo through the forest.
At this moment, a rather strange scene appeared in the eyes of the audience.
In the dark jungle, there was a naked man wearing only a thick grass skirt and crude woven shoes, with animal teeth evenly distributed on his neck.
He was exploring the jungle with another man who was wearing jackboots, long trousers, a very thin beige shirt, and a deerstalker hat.
A strong sense of déjà vu when Hollywood adventure movies first appeared at the beginning of this century.
It seems that Leonardo, dressed in modern clothes, is an explorer from the Ugly Country. By chance, he obtained a map containing a secret treasure, so he traveled thousands of miles to the dangerous rainforest.
Bifang is an indigenous person living in the area and the only person in the tribe who can speak foreign languages. At the explorer's invitation, he became the guide.
If it is paired with a beautiful woman with big wavy blonde hair who can only scream when she encounters danger, a slightly older but knowledgeable doctor of science, and finally a black man with a nimble arm who exists for a certain purpose.
Hey, the full team showed up!
It’s just missing a villain, or some scary creature. It doesn’t even need a photography team, just three helicopters and a first-person perspective experience.
Start shooting right away!
[I’m really scared that a huge snake head will suddenly pop out of the tree and bite someone]
[The visuals are so vivid, I’m already starting to get scared. ]
[Are you also looking for Dragon Blood Orchid? ]
[One tree is immortal, two trees are immortal! 】
[No, I'm here to see the doctor. Have you seen my doctor? ]
After walking for a while, Leonardo was a little out of breath. It was not because he was physically exhausted, but because the environment was too torturous.
Even in the deep forest, the temperature is at least over 25 degrees, which is not a big deal. The damn thing is the humidity that is everywhere.
Being in it is almost like being in a steamer.
And there are mosquitoes everywhere buzzing at you, and you can't stop them at all, which is why Leonardo has already applied insect repellent on his body.
Leonardo was a little curious about how Bifang managed to endure it. He didn't have any insect repellent, did he?
Just as he was curious, Bifang had already found what he was looking for. He came to a huge plant, so huge that it would not be appropriate to say it was huge.
In a rainforest with trees that are tens or even hundreds of meters tall, a tree that is waist-thick and five or six meters tall is not noticeable at all.
"Is this a palm tree?" Leonardo hesitated. The tree in front of him looked very much like a palm tree. If there was any difference, it might be that it was too thick.
Judging from the girth of this tree , it may not be an adult yet and can still continue to grow.
"No, this is not a palm tree. Although many people do mistake it for a palm tree, it is actually a Livistona palm." As he spoke, Bifang had already hugged the entire tree and was moving up little by little.
"The palm tree can grow up to 20 meters, but the palm tree is usually only 10 meters. The palm tree also has larger leaves and thicker stems. It is also an economic forest tree species, an ornamental plant for gardens and a good greening tree species for the surrounding areas.
"It is rare now, but friends in rural areas may . It is the round yellow fan, which is actually made of cattail palm. We use its young leaves to weave cattail fans; the old leaves are used to make straw raincoats, and the ribs of the leaf lobes can be used to make toothpicks; the fruit and roots are used as medicine."
Bifang hugged the tree trunk with both hands, but did not wrap his feet around it. Instead, he stepped on the trunk to provide a support.
Using both hands and feet, he quickly climbed to a height of four meters.
"The bark of the palm tree is very rough, and it's effortless to step on it. Okay, now we have to pick some of its leaves." Bifang grabbed a large leaf of the palm tree and lowered his head and shouted, "Leonardo, help me catch it."
"OK~!"
Bifang pulled aside all the leaves around it and showed everyone the petiole of the palm leaf. He stretched out his right hand and circled it with his index finger and thumb, and it just fit.
"See? It's really thick, more than enough to be used as a sole. The leaves around it that are spread out like a fan can also hold it up, making it a natural shoe. But because it's too thick, it's a bit troublesome for us to pull it off."
Grasping the petiole, Bifang broke it off easily. However, the fibers inside were not so easy to cut. Without a knife, he could only tear them off bit by bit and break them one by one.
If it is torn violently, the entire petiole may be torn off, destroying its integrity.
Soon, four large palm leaves were picked by Bifang and all were held in Leonardo's arms below. Each palm leaf was almost half the size of his body.
[Fuck, this leaf is too big]
[Isn't this more than enough to make shoes? ]
[Let me guess, after making shoes, are you going to make weapons? ]
[The prophet is killed! ]
Bifang tore off the simple "straw sandals" on his feet. After walking only a hundred or two hundred meters, some of the leaves on his feet had fallen off. He took two large palm leaves from Leonardo's arms and placed them under his feet.
Two palm leaves were crossed by Bifang, and the leaves were overlapped one by one. Finally, the stems were put together. The stems were as thick as two finger rings and put together. The prototype of an insole that was wide and thick enough appeared.
Leonardo's eyes lit up. Before this, he didn't know how to make Bifang. He thought it was like what he did just now, wrapping the feet with leaves, but it would be difficult to feel comfortable that way.
And because the leaves are too thin , they can't feel very good when worn on the feet, unless they are stacked thickly, but the time cost of weaving them would be too high.
Not only him, the audience also thought so. When they saw what Bifang did at this time, they couldn't help but applaud.
The rhizome acts as an insole, and then the leaves around it are wrapped crosswise, like shoelaces, but the technique is similar to wrapping rice dumplings, and no knots are needed to seal it.
After everything is cross-woven, Bifang bends the excess roots in the front and directly covers the instep, and wraps it again with the leaves hanging around.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a square shoe that looked like Iron Man's foot armor appeared.
In half an hour, both feet were fully covered with shoes.
It is completely different from the kind of slippers that the audience imagines, with large leaves under the feet and vines on the sides. It is a real pair of shoes that can be used for running and jumping and fits the feet!
Bifang stood up and picked it up. The soft rhizome was full of fibers. It was not only wear-resistant but also very soft. It was filled with air, a real "air cushion".
"It feels good to wear, very soft, and although it wraps tightly, it is still very breathable, which feels good."
[Fuck, that's awesome! ]
[This handicraft makes me kneel down]
[When the Zongzi Factory refused to pay Fang Shen three times his salary and he wanted to leave, I was the first one to disagree]
[Nonsense, you were the only one who laughed happily at that time! ]
With the shoes, Bifang's next actions would be much easier.
Leonardo's eyes were filled with envy: "I feel like what you're wearing now is more comfortable than what I'm wearing."
"Haha, they are still incomparable. They may be more comfortable in the short term, but the quality is still completely incomparable to industrial products. I estimate that I will have to change a pair every two or three days. Fortunately, the fan palm is also a very common plant in the rain forest. It is not difficult to find and it is not difficult to make."
"That's just for you. If it were me, it would probably take me several days just to learn the knitting techniques, let alone knitting a pair of shoes."
"What should we do next?" Leonardo was eager to try.
It's almost eleven o'clock now. He will be leaving in the evening and doesn't want to miss this great time.
Bifang said as a matter of course: "Of course it is to make 'weapons'. The rain forest is too dangerous, and we must have the ability to protect ourselves."
"What is it?" Leonardo was excited. "Stone tools? Or are you going to start making iron tools?"
"No, it's mud."
