After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 654 Gardenia
"boom!"

Another thunder struck down from the sky, with a rumble as if the sky was shattering.

But the sky is still sunny.

The sun was still high in the sky and the white clouds were still floating, but there was no shortage of lightning and thunder in the sky. Everyone was noisy and playing together.

Xiao Se was startled by the thunder, looked at the sky, and said in horror: "What is going on?"

Is it thundering in broad daylight?
"Is it going to rain?" Xiao Se quickly ran towards the ramie fiber, "You have to put the ramie away so it doesn't get wet."

Ye Feng followed Xiao Se: "I don't know either, but it rains every year at this time."

Xiao Se asked curiously: "It rains a lot at this time every year. Is it heavy?"

"There were times when the tribe's cave was flooded." Ye Feng directly carried the tree pole into the cave. "Other times, the rainwater flooded the tribe's entrance."

Xiao Se held the tripod and headed towards the cave, surprised: "Yan is so high!"

Tahe is 100 meters away from the tribe. It is quite convenient to use water in normal times, but when the rainy season comes, it is also quite annoying.

"Just get used to it." Ye Feng looked at Xiao Se who came in behind him, "Don't worry, it's okay. The rain comes and recedes just as quickly."

"Besides, we have a wall now, so the water will definitely not reach our tribe."

Xiao Se smiled and said, "That's true."

The city walls are made of trees and cement bricks, and the water will flood wherever they are. Moreover, the night wind has done a lot of work on the drainage system. The terrain of the tribe is much higher than that of Tahe River, so naturally it is not afraid.

The sun still shines in the sky, and the thunder and lightning continue.

After a burst of thunder, the thunder and lightning disappeared, and the sun was still hanging in the sky.

But it rained heavily the next day. After the rain, the water in the stream swelled a lot.

On the third day, the stream water dropped rapidly and then returned to normal.

A'feng's injury has healed well and he can now walk around, but he can't run yet. He has to be careful and walk slowly.

A Di can not only call Arthur, but also Ah Xin and Xiaolongniao, as well as his own name, but he can't call Ye Feng's name.

Whenever Xiao Se taught him, he would look at Ye Feng secretly. He didn't know whether he was afraid of Ye Feng scolding him, or because he was afraid of Ye Feng's kingly pressure and didn't dare to shout.

In the past few days, Xiao Se knitted himself a long-sleeved shirt, a pair of trousers, and two small interchangeable clothes.

Using the wild flowers picked by Ye Feng and A Di, Xiao Se picked them up and asked Ye Feng: "Which color is the most beautiful?"

Night Breeze picked a yellow flower and gave it to Xiao Se: "This one."

The yellow color is quite satisfactory to Xiao Se: "But, do you think this color is too conspicuous in the forest?"

Ye Feng looked at her, smiled slightly and said, "You are already conspicuous when you appear in the forest."

You are a conspicuous scenery in the green forest, and it has nothing to do with whether you wear yellow or not.

The corner of Xiao Se's mouth twitched: "It really hits people. Then, choose yellow. However, these flowers that look yellow, I can't guarantee that they will still be dyed this color."

"It's okay." Even without color, Ye Feng felt that his Arthur was the most conspicuous scenery in the forest.

Xiao Se put the flowers into the clay pot, and then, well, the imagination was too beautiful, but the reality was ruthless.

"No?" Ye Feng looked at the color of the residue in the clay pot and frowned, "Failed?"

Xiao Se sighed helplessly: "Well, it failed. This kind of flower is not good, so we have to change it."

Night Breeze couldn't see Arthur sighing. He always felt that Arthur sighed because he was dissatisfied with himself, so he immediately said, "I'll go find him right away."

"Ye Feng, if it's not this yellow, can you use other colors?" Xiao Se immediately called him, "Other colors are also pretty good-looking." She wanted to dye the color Ye Feng liked, but if she couldn't dye it, Then say hello to him in advance.

Looking at Arthur's bright and concerned eyes, Ye Feng's heart warmed: "Then don't choose a color, just wear whatever color you dye it."

Xiao Se smiled: "That's okay."

If it’s not custom-made and given points, that would be easy.

Ye Feng looked at Xiao Se and smiled, and he smiled too. Yes, just like that, Arthur's smile was his greatest warmth.

"Arthur!" Adi picked another wild flower and ran away, "Arthur, flowers!"

Behind him was the slow-moving Ah Xing, with a small dragon bird standing on his back, chirping non-stop.

Come to think of it, this little dragon bird is also a chatterbox.

A Di now walks and runs on two legs, and only occasionally uses four limbs. That is his habit, and he cannot change it all at once.

Even so, Xiao Se was very satisfied. He really didn't expect that A Di would learn so quickly.

A Di held the flowers in both hands and ran quickly to Xiao Se: "Flowers, flowers!"

Xiao Se looked at the flowers in A Di's hands, and his pupils suddenly widened: "Gardenia! Night Breeze, we can dye it yellow."

Gardenia, also known as yellow gardenia, is a shrub plant native to China.

It blooms from March to July every year, and its peak flowering period is at the turn of spring and summer.

The single petals of gardenia are used to harvest the fruits, which are used for detoxification and as food coloring and dye.

Dye a gorgeous yellow-orange color without mordanting.

If you want to dye it a darker yellow, add vinegar to it.

If you want to dye it directly, it is bright yellow.

However, gardenia dyeing is not resistant to sunlight, so it is best used to dye some indoor items, and is also suitable as a base dye for other dyeing materials.

As early as before the Christian era, some people had used gardenia to dye yellow. Because of the bright color, the Chinese people regarded the dyed yellow as the noblest royal color and prohibited residents from using it.

There is a saying: gardenia and acanthus come out of the dyeing garden to dye the royal clothes.

This 'Gardenia' is Gardenia, which is dyed yellow because its fruits contain natural yellow pigment. There is a color called autumn color, which is dyed with the fruits of Gardenia.

This 'qian' refers to madder, which is a red dye and became one of the favorite colors of the ancients alongside gardenia.

The production method is also very simple. Pick fresh gardenia fruits, crush them and soak them in water for 3 hours, then filter and take out the dye solution.

You can also use sun-dried gardenia fruit to get the dye solution, soak it in hot water overnight, peel the soaked fruit, add fire to the simmer, boil for 30 minutes, turn off the heat, filter and take out the first dye solution.

You can also repeatedly boil the dye 3 to 4 times. Of course, the color will be different each time.

Xiao Se took the gardenia from A Di's hand and smelled it: "It smells so good. Come on, take us to pick flowers."

Ah Di understood and ran happily in front, waving to Xiao Se from time to time: "Arthur, come on, come on."

Xiao Se hurriedly followed Ah Di, and Ye Feng followed him with a big black knife. He didn't forget to say to Ah Xin: "Ather and I are going to pick flowers. You and Xiao Longniao are here to guard and don't let the wild beasts come."

Ah Ting was obedient, even the little dragon bird wanted to go. It flapped its little wings and wanted to catch up. Seeing that no one paid attention to it, it returned to Ah Ting and kept chirping at Ah Ting.

Dasha, they ignore me, I want to go too, you hurry up and follow them, I want to sit on it, Dasha, do you hear that?
A'hen straightened his front legs, straightened his body, stretched out greatly, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, yawned, and walked slowly towards the cave.

The little dragon bird watched it go, and immediately flapped its little wings and chased after it, chirping non-stop.
