"It's probably like this." Oceanus sat across from Visanusak and made his request.
"Teach you the technique of driving a raft..." Visanusak looked at Oceanus as if he was mentally retarded.
You kid can swim very fast in the sea, why do you want to learn how to drive a raft?
"Uh... Actually, it's not that I want to learn it, but that I want Jimia and Lu Silan to learn it." Ou Shen felt that it was of no use to learn it, so he soaked in the sea for a year.
He can't die, after all, being in the sea is like returning to the embrace of Poseidon.
Although this embrace is only cold.
"Oh, that's it. Are you going to go to sea?" Visanusak looked at Ocean with interest.
"No." Ocean smiled and scratched his head, "It's just that if you learn it, it will be of great help in drawing maps."
"Yeah, that's it." Visanusak nodded, crossing his chest, "Where are the two of them? And my raft is so small, you three can't even fit in it."
"About this...I actually plan to make a bigger raft. Uncle, can you make a raft?"
"Ask the clan leader if your grandma made this raft."
"Oh, I see." Ocean was a little confused about the situation.
Ocean's grandmother, the mother of Doris and Cora, the daughter of the previous generation clan leader, passed away many years before Ocean was born. Even Doris had no impression of it. The biggest legacy left to the tribe was that
raft.
After walking out of Visanusak's shed, Oceanus glanced at the two good brothers squatting at the door of the shed: "You two go in, I'll go find my mother and ask about the raft."
"Okay, then we won't draw a map today?" Jimia asked.
Ocean hesitated: "I'll ask my mother. If my mother knows how to make a raft, she won't go there today. I'll see if I can make a big raft."
"Okay, go ahead." Lu Silan dragged Jimia into the shed.
Ocean shrugged his shoulders and ran away.
Doris had just gotten up and was braiding her hair with vines.
"mom!"
Ocean's loud voice suddenly sounded, startling Doris, and the vine in her hand snapped.
"What are you doing, naughty kid!" Doris felt her fists harden, she opened the curtain and looked at Ocean standing at the door, holding the vine that she had torn off in her hand.
"Hey!" Ocean's neck subconsciously shrank.
"Well, Mom, let me ask you if you know how to make a raft." Oceanus shakily backed away.
"Huh? Make a raft?" Doris was stunned, "Who told you that I can make a raft?"
"Uncle Visanusak told me, he said that the raft in the tribe was left by my grandma." Ocean approached Doris cautiously.
"The raft..." Doris's eyes looked a little dim. "After the morning meeting, you can ask your aunt. Your aunt usually maintains the raft. I don't know how to make it."
"..." Ocean wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether he should say it, "Mom, what happened to my grandma? If my grandma is still alive, she will probably be the same as Uncle Visanusak.
About the same size."
Doris is thirty-one years old this year, and Visanusak is fifty-two years old. If Ocean's grandmother was still alive, she would indeed be about the same age as Visanusak.
"Mother..." Doris pursed her lips, "You kid, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Go to the patriarch's seat quickly. I'll go to the morning meeting right away."
...
After the morning meeting, Ocean found Cora, who was weaving linen.
Now Cora is pregnant and no longer goes fishing with the team.
"Auntie, can you make a raft?" Ocean asked.
"Yes." This time Ou Shen did not get a negative answer.
Cora was a little confused: "Doris told you?"
"Well, I want to make a bigger raft, and then go around the island and draw the map of the island. The territories of Hydra in the northeast and the Sphinx in the back are almost connected together. I want to
It is easier to draw a map and walk by water, but the raft in the tribe is too small to fit the three of us."
Three ordinary people, even if they were a little bigger, could still sit on that small raft.
But the three of them, Ou Shen... won't talk about it anymore.
That raft can hold a few miles of water if it's fully stretched.
"Well, let me teach you how big you want to be." After becoming pregnant, Cora's personality was not as aggressive as before. She became gentler and tended to be closer to Doris.
...At least closer to the usual Doris.
"Well... it can probably seat the three of us, and leave a little extra space." Ocean briefly described it.
"You go cut down some trees first and put them on the beach. I'll go to the tribe's warehouse to get some hemp rope." Cora put aside the linen he was weaving and stood up.
"I understand, auntie." Ou Shen ran out in a hurry.
"This kid... is still so energetic." Cora smiled and looked at her belly.
I really hope that my child can be as lively as his cousin.
After a while, Cora walked to the beach with two bundles of hemp rope.
"Auntie!" Ocean waved to Cora from a distance.
Next to him was a pile of wood taller than Ocean.
"This wood is enough."
"That's enough, you follow my instructions and put these wood away." Cora directed Ocean to work.
After Visanusak took Ursula and another little girl who had just grown up to hunt fish, Jimia and Luslan also rushed to the beach.
The number of people working became three.
Under Cora's command, the work was very fast, and the three young men finished the big raft before dark.
"Tie it up here, and then it'll be fine." Cora nodded.
"It's finally done." Ocean wiped the sweat from his face and let out a sigh of relief.
This raft is about eight meters long and five meters wide, which is more than enough space for the three of Ocean to sit on.
A hemp rope was tied to one end of the raft. Ocean used a leftover log to nail a stake on the shore, tied the hemp rope to it, and called on the tide to bring the raft to the sea.
"All that's left is to see how the raft is doing tomorrow morning." Cora smiled.
Although I didn't work, I was still a little tired after staying in this place for a day.
"Thank you for your hard work, auntie." Oceanus likes to show his teeth when he smiles.
"Your uncle Liliana and the others will probably come back later, go and help." Cora yawned and walked towards the tribe.
"oh!"
Although the three of them had been working for a day, they were still very energetic.
"After we finish helping, let's continue to exercise!" Ou Shen suggested with excitement.
The raft drifts on the sea, undulating with the waves.
