Traveling through the world of beasts: Controlling the system and building infrastructure

"Okay. I believe it." Zihui wiped away her tears. Although her head told her that no one could do it, she looked at An Ruchu's serious expression and firmly believed in her heart that if it was her, then she could do it.

An Ruochu had just arrived at the tribe and had already brought them constant surprises. There were still two months left before the winter season. What if a miracle really happened?

"Okay, let's go back quickly and finish weaving the vine baskets as soon as possible so that you can use them when you collect vines tomorrow." An Ruochu tied up the vines of others, then carried his own net bag and returned to the tribe with everyone else.

An Ruochu used a bone knife to carefully clean the rough skin of the vines, which took a lot of effort. The vines they collected were very tough, so even vines as thick as fingers were easy to weave. The other females didn't have bone knives, so An Ruochu processed a few vines and handed the bone knife to Zihui, asking her to process the rest. She took the vines that had been processed and taught the others how to weave baskets first.

"First, choose some suitable vines. Normally, you should choose thin vines for basket making. They are tough and won't break because they are too brittle. But I saw that this thick one is also quite tough, so I chose this one."

An Ruochu took the vines she had just selected in her hand and introduced them to them: "First, pick four vines and place them on the ground in a staggered manner, and then put the other four vines on top, so that they cross once horizontally and vertically, and once diagonally. Then choose a slightly thinner vine, hold one side with one hand, and use the other hand to wrap around the eight main trunks in circles. If the vine is not long enough, hold the tail, and then continue to wrap the next vine until it is the size of the basket you want."

The vines were thick, so fewer circles were needed. Soon, An Ruochu had woven the size she wanted. The one she had woven before was too big, and she couldn't carry it when she was full of things, so she planned to make a smaller one this time.

"Then tie up the long vines outside." An Ruochu gestured to Zhuoya to help her hold the vines in her hand, and she tied them up with a thinner vine and slowly weaved the basket.

After making a basket, Zihui had already processed part of the vines. An Ruochu took the bone knife and asked her to work with the others. He processed the vines while guiding them to weave the baskets.

It was their first time weaving baskets, and everyone had some questions. An Ruochu patiently explained it to them. Females were strong, so the baskets they wove were also large. In addition, they were not skilled and always had to dismantle and weave again. So by the time they had finished weaving the crooked baskets, An Ruochu had already turned the grass she brought back into a sieve for draining water.

"Sister Zihui, your craftsmanship is really good. Who would believe that this is your first time making a basket?" An Ruochu smiled as she looked at Zihui's basket. It looked much better than the one she made when she first learned to make a basket.

"An An, look at mine. Why can't the mouth of it be closed?" Zhuo Ya became anxious when she saw that the females around her had all finished weaving their baskets, but hers couldn't even be closed.

"Don't rush to close the mouth of the basket. Look, it's done now." An Ruochu's fingers danced in the middle of the vines, and soon she had helped Zhuo Ya weave the mouth of the basket.

Everyone spent the afternoon weaving baskets. As the sky darkened, An Ruochu said goodbye to a few people and asked them to return the peppers they picked to the cave. Then, she went to find Xiaoxi to cook dinner for tonight.
