Chapter 171 Special Fabric
"Artis, let's not go back tonight," Xiaomo looked at Artis. The climate and air here were very pleasant. She didn't want to leave at all. "Let's stay here for one night before leaving."
"I didn't intend to leave in the first place," Artis said with a smile, "I was planning to collect feathers for two days. Now that we have collected the feathers, we can sew the wedding dress here. I also brought the bone needles and thread for sewing the feathers."
"Ha, that's great," Xiaomo clapped her hands and laughed, "Artis, I can help you sew the wedding dress."
"No, you just need to accompany me," Artis said, "This is the couple's clothing I made for you. I want to finish it myself."
"I want to wear it," Xiaomo smiled, "I want the clothes to reflect our joint efforts, so that wearing them will have meaning."
Artis had made several dresses for her before, and he had some sewing skills, but a wedding dress was not a small piece of clothing. According to Artis's idea, it would be very complicated to make, and she didn't want to tire Artis.
Because he was the first Beast King to make a wedding dress, the deadline was only seven days and there was no time to prepare.
Xiaomo has to accompany him to finish making the clothes before she can go and see how the next Beast King is made.
The feathers given by the birds can be used directly. Artis removes the fine and soft fluff bit by bit.
Xiaomo also worked with Artis to sort the fluff.
These are just decorations for the couple's clothes. The real fabric that Attis chose is actually spider silk.
In the territory of the lion clan, there is a special kind of spider. It is red all over and the silk it spits out is also red. When they are woven together, it becomes authentic bright red.
Xiaomo has only seen black or brown spiders, and the spider silk they spit out is white.
I've never seen a spider spitting red silk.
Attis sent his guards to fetch many red spiders, as well as shuttles and simple looms.
"Artis, when did you make the loom?" Su Xiaomo looked at the loom brought by the guards and asked curiously, "You can actually spin yarn? When did you learn it?"
"Since I saw you making animal skin quilts and spinning cotton, I made a loom myself," Artis said with a smile, "I was planning to make clothes for you after I became proficient in it. I didn't expect that I would use it so soon."
Artis opened a large animal hide bag, and inside was a dense mass of crawling red spiders.
Su Xiaomo's scalp suddenly felt numb.
These spiders are very large, covered with red hair, with bulging round bellies and several slender legs wriggling back and forth inside the bag.
terrible!
Xiaomo just took a look and quickly ran back to the tent.
I can't help. I can't help at all.
"Xiaomo, are you scared?" Artis asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Don't be afraid, these spiders don't bite. They are all very obedient and won't crawl around."
Attis took a branch and placed ten spiders side by side on it.
The spiders were indeed very obedient.
They just lay on the branches, motionless.
Attis took a shuttle and spun out spider silk directly.
Ten thin spider silk threads were entangled on it little by little as the shuttle turned.
These spider silks are indeed unique. They are not only thin and flexible, but also bright in color and dazzling red.
Clothes made from this spider silk do not need to be dyed separately.
After winding for about ten minutes, Artis changed ten spiders again and continued to extract silk.
The spiders also lay obediently on the branches, their fat bellies looking as red as cherries in the sun.
Seeing that the spider didn't move, Xiaomo's curiosity made her come out of the tent again.
"Artis, why are they so obedient?" Xiaomo was very curious. How could there be spiders that let you take their silk? In the TV shows she had seen, spiders were glued to wooden boards or fixed in other ways before they could be taken.
Besides, many spiders are poisonous, and Xiaomo didn't dare to get close to them at all.
"This spider is unique to our lion tribe and is called Red Bean," Artis said. "Although they are large and scary looking, they are very well-behaved. They don't eat insects and prefer to drink nectar. The spider silk has a light floral scent."
Ha, there are so many rare animals in the world of animals.
First time hearing about a nectar drinking spider.
Xiaomo was not afraid anymore. Spider silk has the scent of flowers, so the clothes made from it must also have a fragrant smell.
"Artis, I'll pick spider silk with you," Xiaomo said with a smile, "It'll be faster this way."
Spiders are so obedient that extracting silk becomes a particularly fun thing.
Artis wanted Xiaomo to rest, but he couldn't stop her from walking around him, trying to get tangled up in the spider silk.
Attis had no choice but to take another branch as thick as his wrist, put the ten spiders on it, twisted the spider silk, and let Xiaomo wrap it up.
Ten red threads thinner than a needle trembled slightly in the sunlight, each thread was crystal clear and so red that it was tempting to the touch.
Wearing such a dress made of bright red silk thread and becoming a beautiful bride should be every girl’s dream.
Artis was always like this, bringing her surprises inadvertently.
The two of them tangled together for nearly a day.
In the middle, Artis made tender barbecue for Xiaomo and rice balls made of tricolor quinoa, which were delicious and healthy.
Xiaomo didn't want to rest either. Silk wrapping was so much fun and so stress-relieving.
Watching the red silk threads gather on the shuttle gives me a special sense of accomplishment.
Then, Xiaomo took out the prepared nectar and fed it to the spiders as Attis had instructed.
These spiders are indeed very well-behaved. They don't run around or crawl around, but just sit there quietly eating honey.
Every time the next batch of spiders came, Xiaomo would feed the spiders.
The spider silk that the little cuties had worked so hard to store was picked by them, so they could only compensate them with delicious food.
It was not until the sun went down that all the spider silk needed to make the cloth was collected.
There were more than a dozen shuttles, all tangled in bulging spider silk.
"Xiao Mo, you must be tired," Artis turned to Xiao Mo and said, "You haven't rested for a whole day. I'll feed the remaining little spiders. You take a rest first. I'll clean up and prepare to cook."
All the pots and stoves were brought over.
The lion guards were also very thoughtful in their preparations.
The lion king Attis came to collect materials for Xiaomo to make couple clothes, which was a very important thing.
The clothes made by King Attis will definitely be liked by Xiaomo.
As subordinates of the Lion King, they also have to do their best to make all the preparations and support work.
Although Niaomingjian was not far from the Lion Clan, the guards brought almost all the pots, pans, and utensils here.
King Attis had no time to hunt, so the guards carefully captured various small animals as food for King Attis and Xiaomo.
As long as King Attis and Xiaomo are happy, the guards will be happy.
