Chapter 33 Blisters and Shoes
What is happiness and how to find it?
The kids don't know, and Broly doesn't really know either.
But it doesn’t matter, the direction has already appeared, just follow the direction.
Under the leadership of Broly, everyone went in the direction where the Imperial Intelligence Agency personnel left.
On the way, they encountered many dangerous species, but the dangerous species were not dangerous because there were Saiyans in their team who were more dangerous than the dangerous species.
All the dangerous species that came to attack were turned into food for a new day by Broly. Compared with the danger brought by the dangerous species, it was the ones hidden under the fallen leaves and among the trees and vines that were more difficult to survive. The snakes and insect creatures that are on guard are the greatest danger.
Fortunately, there are children in the team who have lived in a forest environment. Although the poisons in the Gifonola Sea Tree Forest are different, the methods of detoxification and prevention are partly the same.
After finding some slightly poisonous grass and leaves, burning them and tying them with branches to smoke the road in front, many snakes and insects were driven away in advance.
“Does it have to be this way?”
Broly asked, coughing from the smoke.
"There is no way, we are not afraid of bites from snakes and insects like you, big brother."
Rivarina, who is said to be a foreign ethnic group from the West and lives in the Shuize Mangrove tribe, said.
This method of driving away snakes, rats and mosquitoes was made by her by tasting plants in the forest.
She has experience in surviving in the forest, but unfortunately there are many dangerous species here.
If she hadn't been rescued by Broly yesterday, she might have been eaten by the dangerous species.
"I have a better way."
Broly thought for a while and said.
“What can I do?”
The children looked at him curiously.
Broly asked Rivarina to extinguish the poisonous smoke, raised his hand and pointed at the forest in front of him. As a green energy beam blasted the forest in front of him, a smooth road appeared in front of everyone.
"This is my way."
Broly clapped his hands as if he had done a small thing.
Children: "..."
This is a road they had never thought of. The dense forest with many giant trees in front of them was completely destroyed at this moment.
Not to mention snakes and insects, even those dangerous species that originally existed have probably turned into ashes by this time.
The atmosphere fell silent. Nahasiu, an older child with more experience, realized that the atmosphere was wrong and quickly took the lead in applauding.
"Big brother is mighty, big brother is awesome, everyone applauds and cheers for big brother, thank you for opening such a road in the forest for us."
The powerful power makes people awe-inspiring, But too much power may make people feel scared, which is human nature that is difficult to control.
However, under Nahashu's timely intervention and guidance, the children's instinctive fear gradually turned into greater respect.
"Brother Broly, you are so powerful. How did you do it? The forest disappeared?"
In the lead of Akahitomi, Tsukushi, and Pony, a few girls with relatively strong nerves Next, the team of mostly innocent children quickly became lively again. There were only a few older children with more experience who looked at Broly with somewhat complicated eyes.
"Monster."
Maybe they didn't say it out loud, but the way they looked at Broly did have this meaning.
There was fear, but they held it back.
Although he's not perfect, Broly isn't a careful person either.
As the children around me called me big brother, I gradually lost myself.
Of course, it can also be said that he has experienced the fun of the spotlighted children of a similar age and enjoys it somewhat.
"Just put the energy in your hand, and then, boo, bang~"
Broly demonstrated again, destroying a tree.
Throwing energy bombs is something he can share in addition to the game skills of tumbling rope.
"Hmm... it still doesn't work."
A group of children imitated his movements, trying hard to imagine what lifting Qi was, and tried it on the surrounding big trees.
The result is that no one has learned it, but this is natural. The Qi in these children's bodies has not been filled enough for them to take it out and turn it into energy bombs.
However, there are dangerous species in this world, as well as various strange secrets and biological modification technologies. It is probably possible to cause waves in people.
After staying in place for a while, the people who failed to launch the wave set off again. This time there was a smooth road, and the speed was much faster.
The only troublesome thing is that Broly's sudden big noise scared the creatures in the Gifonora Sea Tree Forest.
The forest, which originally had a lot of noise, seemed a little extra quiet in the area near Tuantu Avenue.
On the following road, a group of people encountered no more dangerous species, and there was no interference from snakes and insects, but on the other hand, the prey that automatically came to the door was gone.
. . . .
As night falls, the children are ready for camping in the wild beside the stream in the forest.
"It's better to walk through the forest."
Broly sighed. After blasting a path, the prey no longer came to him.
"I don't think so. It's much easier to walk on flat ground."
Chitong retorted from the side and raised his little feet to show the boy.
"At least I walked a long way today, and my feet didn't get more blisters."
Chitong said this, and took a thin wooden thorn to help her sister treat the feet. The blisters come.
Broly looked down at his feet, he had never grown them.
But seeing that everyone seemed to be doing things like pricking blisters, he was a little envious.
“Then how can I get blisters?”
he asked.
"Ah, why do you want this thing?"
"Because you all have it."
Chitong was speechless.
“This is not a good thing.” “Yes, it grows on your feet, and it will hurt when you step on it.”
Heitong also said something.
"If possible, I don't want to grow this thing."
Other children agreed.
“Hey, is there any way to keep it from growing too long?”
Hearing that it was not a good thing, Broly changed his mind and asked again.
"The blisters are not a big deal. Once they are popped, it will be fine if you take a little rest."
Cornelia said.
“I think if I have a pair of soft shoes, I won’t have blisters on my feet.”
A blond girl named Natara said.
"The shoes the slave traders gave us are too hard."
"You still have shoes. The slave trader who sold me here didn't even give me shoes."
These children, you One word, one word for me.
“I’m not wearing shoes, but I don’t have blisters on my feet either.”
“Hey, you have such thick soles?!”
Broly listened and came to the conclusion that most people need a pair of soft shoes.
But how to obtain such shoes, Broly thought of his old father on Wampa Planet who was proficient in handicrafts.
He once made shoes for himself, but he didn't wear them because he thought they were stuffy. But the softness was really soft. After all, they were made of Baya hair.
When Broly thought of this, he had an idea. Just before the road was blown up today, a group of long-haired, soft creatures were hunted by him.
Broly walked to the carcass of a long-haired deer, pulled some hair from it, and began to braid it.
But after someone processed the long-haired deer's meat, he didn't braid the soft hair into the shape of the feet.
“What are you doing?”
Chitong came over and asked.
"Making shoes."
Broly replied.
"Can shoes be made from hair alone?"
Chitong didn't quite understand.
“My father made shoes out of wool.”
“Really?”
“I haven’t worn them, otherwise I would let you see those shoes. So soft!”
Even though he had never worn shoes many times on Vampa, Broly was able to say this to the girl with all his heart.
"Use the same hair as the clothes on your body?"
"Yes."
Chitong reached out and touched the Baya hair clothes on Broly's body. Very soft indeed.
But it’s hair, rather than some kind of plant fiber.
"Which of you can knit shoes?"
Chitong thought for a while and asked the other children.
“I will.”
One child raised his hand.
"My father was a shoemaker. Later he got into gambling and lost a lot of money, so I was sold. This kind of handicraft is nothing to me."
"Then can you braid these hairs in?"
"It should be possible."
The child who can knit shoes thought for a while and nodded. His hands are better than Broly's. Much more.
He first found some tree vines, scraped off the bark of the vines with a knife, and then cut off the fine thorns to make simple shoemaking materials.
The bark of the tree vine turned into the shape of a slipper in his hands.
"I used to use hay to weave it, which is more durable and softer. I haven't tried the tree and vine ones, but if you add hair, it should be softer."
He said, Just quickly knit the shoes.
Almost when the barbecue was about to be cooked, a pair of crudely made tree-vine fur shoes were made in the boy's hands.
Chitong tried it on and it felt pretty good. Except that it was a little too big, these shoes were much better than the original wooden shoes on her feet.
“We need more tree vines and animal hair to weave more shoes.”
Broly said so.
“I can’t make shoes for everyone by myself.”
The shoe-knitting boy shook his head. There were more than seventy people here.
"Then let's do it together, you just need to teach us how to knit shoes."
Tsukushi and some other children with more dexterous hands said at this time.
A group of children gradually got together to discuss knitting shoes.
Before that, let’s eat enough first.
Tonight’s staple food is long-haired deer and some long and huge worms. The long-haired deer tastes a bit strong after being roasted, but the huge worms have a fruity aroma after being roasted and taste like beef tendons. It's a bit hard to chew, but the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.
On the redemption page of the Crystal Palace, this thing is called Haisen Big Insect Barbecue, and the exchange price is about the same as a pork chop rice bowl.
The soup is fish soup. There are some small fish in the forest stream. Someone caught them and cooked them with yesterday's marsh crab shells.
The small fish has no name, but even if no salt is added after cooking, the soup is full of flavor.
While the soup was cooking, Bonny suggested adding some mushrooms to add some color to the soup, but everyone unanimously passed the suggestion.
