The mosquitoes nearby were extremely numerous, with a kind of flower-footed mosquito that bit people both day and night. Once, while digging mud, Ma Lin saw a row of more than ten mosquitoes clinging to his arm.
It was even easier to be bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping at night.
'Big Tree' asked him if he had any way to deal with the mosquitoes.
Ma Lin said, "There are some plants that, when burned, produce a scent that can drive mosquitoes away. There's also something called a mosquito net. Once it's hung up, there are no mosquitoes."
Then he demonstrated how to make a mosquito net using regular fabric.
Learning to weave had countless benefits.
For instance, the thing that used to annoy him the most, mosquitoes, could be resolved with a mosquito net, which he could weave himself.
This feeling was wonderful.
Last year, he had thought about this and wanted to acquire a mosquito net to sleep more soundly.
But he thought weaving was too difficult.
Now it's different.
