The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 175 - Bamboo

From day to day, the weather is getting colder. And the sanding that was on the mountain next door, gradually began to look its shape.

Currently Wiro is in the mountains, to look for the flow of water. After Saga and Wiro discover the flow of water on the mountain, the two of them together with the other Orcs, make a channel of water to the terracing they have made, they are close to their new vegetable garden.

...........

To avoid being buried by snow in winter, the Orcs in the temporary residence at the foot of the mountain, moved to a small hill near Mount Batu.

...........

When the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest are ripe, Uriel digs up all the bamboo shoots and takes them home.

As soon as Carli saw the fresh shoots, his mouth immediately water.

"Well.."

The food supplies in Lina's house were numerous, and there was also never a shortage of bamboo shoots. So, generously, she gave a lot of bamboo shoots for Carli to eat.

"Thank you.." Carli said thanking Lina.

"Sir Vanda is right, being able to come to Stone Mountain, is a very happy thing!" Inner Carli.

"I'll make some pickled bamboo shoots." Lina.

After that, he took a few shoots, cut them into many pieces, put them in a stone jar, put some sour-tasting wild fruits, then closed them and stored them.

After that, Lina asked Uriel to cut some more bamboo. That was because Carli was also very interested in bamboo.

Carli soon approached the bamboo that Uriel was about to cut into pieces and sniff it. His eyes immediately sparkled.

"Hmmm.. It smells so good.." Carli.

The Wolf children also tried to smell the bamboo. But, no matter how it smelled, they did not think that the bamboo smelled good.

Instead, they prefer the smell of barbecue.

After the bamboo was cut by Uriel, Lina gave some of the bamboo to Carli.

Carli was very happy, so he rolled into a pile of bamboo and ate the bamboo quietly.

At this moment, Lina wanted to cut the bamboo into thin pieces. Unfortunately, his strength was too small. In addition, the results are also not perfect, making his finger almost sliced.

Upon seeing that, Uriel finally helps Lina solve her problem.

Uriel took out her claws, and with just a sweep of her claws, the bamboos had been cut thinly.

Lina picked up the pieces of bamboo, then nodded and said, "Good!"

Then he sat down, and began to try to make a small basket of thin bamboo pieces.

"This type of basket is very fitting to accommodate fruits and vegetables. If maintained and used properly, of course this basket can be used for a long time. In addition, the weight is also much lighter than a leather bag." Lina said to Uriel.

After Uriel picked up a few more bamboos, she immediately sat down near Lina and cut all the bamboos into thin pieces, then learned how to weave from Lina and started making bamboo baskets.

Uriel is an intelligent Orc, he learns fast. Quickly, he could make some beautiful bamboo baskets. And now a dozen bamboo baskets of various sizes, have been woven by Uriel.

At this moment, Lina got up from her seat, it turned out that she had also finished making a small ball of bamboo pieces.

He threw a bamboo ball at the Wolf children and told them to play.

"Kids.. Catch this ball.. Play outside.."

For the first time ever, the Wolf children saw a new toy and played around with the ball all afternoon. Only when Uriel had finished weaving the bamboo basket and told them to have dinner did the children stop.

As the elder sister and the eldest, Wirna felt responsible for guarding and carrying the bamboo ball, along with her three younger brothers who followed her passionately.

This dinner menu is a stew of bamboo shoots and chicken mixed with bone soup.

The rich bone soup, mixed with bamboo shoots, makes the soup taste refreshing.

In addition there is also spiced chicken meat which is then wrapped with bamboo leaves, and steamed. The fragrant aroma of bamboo and chicken leaves blends together.

"Mmmmmm-mom.. It smells so good!" Lina.

Tonight, the Lina family ate very happily.

...........

Uriel, he's in the store. He also put down some bamboo baskets that he had made.

In addition to selling fruits and vegetables, now he also sells some bamboo baskets that he wicker himself.

The man in the shop next door immediately noticed the basket. He headed to Uriel's shop and asked, "Master, this basket looks very attractive. Can you sell me two baskets?"

Upon hearing that, Uriel immediately gave the man two bamboo baskets and said, "These are the last two baskets, just for you."

"Ah.. Thank you, sir.." After saying that, Nano immediately took the two baskets out and took out a pair of puppets, then handed the doll to Uriel, "This is the pair of puppets I brought from the Beast City. This doll is not worth much money. Sir, you can give it to the kids."

It was a puppet of two small tigers. The doll was finely carved and looked very similar.

Uriel immediately accepted the two dolls.

When Uriel returns home, she finds only Lina cutting bamboo. While Carli and the Wolf children are invisible.

He immediately asked, "Where are the children?"

"They're playing football" Lina replied without raising her head.

Because now they have bamboo ball toys, the Wolf children also play with bamboo balls for a day. So, Lina told them to go out to look for an open and flat place, for them to play football.

Wirna brought her three sisters to the study area on the eleventh floor, because there was a flat and spacious place, there, which is provided for a playground for the children who are in Mount Batu.

In addition, the area has also never been used, and it is okay for them to play football in that place.

With a bamboo ball held by Wirna and along with her younger siblings following her behind her, it immediately attracted the attention of many other children. Now, their football game is becoming more and more crowded.

"What are you doing?" Ask Uriel to Lina.

"I want to make an arrow." Answer Lina

"Earthen swirl? What'sthat?" Ask Uriel.

"That's a weapon. If there is an arrow, the arrow can be used to shoot the enemy. Can be used for self-defense in critical moments." Answer Lina.

The Orcs' strongest weapons are themselves. They can tear their prey with just their very sharp claws. They rarely used weapons and other aids, as they were extremely powerful.

But for Lina who did not have claws and strength like the Orcs, she could only use weapons, for her to defend herself.

Although Lina already had a bone blade, but if she also had an arrow bow, those two weapons she could use for close and long range self-defense.

Then Uriel immediately helped Lina smooth the bamboo, then with his strong strength bend the bamboo, and tie the two ends of the bow using a rope made of dried animal veins.

Now an arrow bow that is not too long and simple, has been completed.

The weight of the arrow was very light. For Lina's extremely small strength, the bow was a perfect fit for her.

Lina tried to pull the rope and felt that the handle on the bamboo was a bit slippery. Then he took out a thin hemp rope and wrapped it around eight lilts. Then he tried again.

"Now the handle no longer feels slippery."

After that, he took the small bamboo that had been cut sharply at its upper end, then placed the back end of the small bamboo on the bowstring, then pulled it, and shot the arrow into the wall.

"SWITCHING!"

"BLOCK!"

The bamboo arrows shot out, smashed into the wall and fell to the ground.

Uriel took the bamboo arrow and watched it carefully.

"The front end of this arrow needs to be sharpened again, and something must also be added at the back end. Otherwise, his direction would definitely be off the mark."

After hearing what Uriel said, Lina recalled the arrows she had seen in her previous world.

"Why don't we add some feathers?" Lina.

Uriel thought for a moment, then said, "Looks good."

Then, they took some fish bones and chicken feathers that Lina had thrown in the trash, and then tied them to each end of the arrow.

"The bones of this type of spiny fish, if pierced by it and when wanting to pull it out, can directly remove a large piece of flesh and blood. Although if these thorns can't kill people, it can at least hurt them." Uriel.

Shortly thereafter, Uriel made about twelve arrows and gave them to Lina, for a weapon for her to defend.
