Chapter 9: Are You Married?

On the last day, Tong Chen woke up in the morning and didn't know what to do, as for food, he could only eat apricots and peaches, without the most important fire, he couldn't cook any animals he caught.

Let's get through the last day like this.

At the same time, Tong Chen also made up his mind that after the end of this mission, he must learn the indispensable skill of drilling wood for fire.

A cute fluffy squirrel squatted on a branch of an apricot tree on its hind legs, holding an apricot in its paws.

A flock of sparrows chirped and flew over Tong Chen's head.

······

In addition to sleeping this day, Tong Chen is staring at the animals not far away in a daze...

Before, Tong Chen always felt that time passed quickly when playing with his mobile phone, but now he has changed his mind.

Time does not deliberately slow down or slow, only the environment or mood of each person changes.

Tong Chen suddenly felt an inexplicable loneliness, it was too difficult to be alone in the deserted wilderness, and it would cost people's lives.

But at this time, Tong Chen did not realize that loneliness was destined to accompany him forever, and some roads could only be gritted his teeth and insisted on walking alone.

The wait is always long.

Drop, countdown ends, task completed (task evaluation: fail)

Finally waited until twelve o'clock in the evening, amid the chirping of insects, Tong Chen put on the clothes he had hidden in advance, and quietly returned home with a familiar car.

Tong Fucheng and Lin Wanru wondered why their son came home in the middle of the night every time, and Tong Chen would find some nonsense reasons to deal with it.

After a good day's rest, Tong Chen immediately went online to find out how to drill wood to make fire.

Seeing the correct way to make fire, Tong Chen's heart was a little broken.

He had already realized that he had made a mistake in his previous method of starting a fire.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it!

Tong Chen clearly saw ten times is not as good as actually doing it once, he did not operate in his own yard, Tong Chen knew that if his parents saw his strange behavior, he might not be able to say anything.

Tong Chen found the tools to make a fire and came to a willow tree outside the village, he didn't want the people in the village to see what gossip.

Hehe, I seem to have become a street rat in the village...

Tong Chen took out the wooden board he had prepared at home, and he had carved a small "V" shaped groove on the wooden board according to the method on the Internet, and he could see that side from this side, not like Tong Chen didn't get it through last time.

The drill stick was also repaired by Tong Chen to fit the size of the small groove, and it was not too loose or too tight.

The principle of drilling wood for fire Tong Chen is very clear, friction generates heat, and the ignition point of wood is relatively low, so when the friction between the two reaches a certain heat, you can try to make a fire.

When Tong Chen tried to put the drill stick in and rotate it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, pinched a small handful of sand and stones and put it into the small groove.

Isn't it friction to generate heat, which increases friction and makes it easier to catch fire.

In fact, this was not something that Tong Chen came up with, someone had done it before.

Inserted into the hole, Tong Chen quickly turned the wooden stick...

In fact, it is not so simple to drill wood to make fire, and even if the method is correct, it takes a lot of physical effort.

At this moment, Tong Chen didn't know that the method of drilling wood to make fire he had learned was the most primitive method of making fire, but it was also a difficult one.

"Hey, Tong Chen?"

Suddenly, a female voice came.

Tong Chen hurriedly put down the tools in his hand.

There was no one just now, how could a person suddenly come out? What would he think if he saw these things?

Before Tong Chen could make a move, the girl who spoke was already standing behind him.

"Tong Chen is you, why don't you speak", a soft voice reached Tong Chen's ears.

Tong Chen didn't have time to think so much at this time, he turned to look at the person.

This girl didn't wear any makeup, she was completely without makeup, which made Tong Chen, who was used to seeing all kinds of makeup in the city, feel refreshed.

The facial features are upright, the eyebrows are clear, but the mouth is not too small, and the skin is slightly dark, but it is only because it is often sunburned in the sun.

Wearing a dark blue jacket, but it does not hide the fullness of the chest in the slightest, underneath is a very figure-revealing jeans, and the fullness of the buttocks can be faintly observed from the front.

Even if she doesn't apply powder, she is also a sexy beauty.

Since Tong Chen returned home from unemployment, he did not go out of his way to chat with his friends in the same village.

When he saw this girl for a while, he didn't remember her name for a while, although it felt familiar to him.

"Wang Mengni".

Tong Chen woke up like a dream and shouted out the name that came to mind.

"Tong Chen, what are you doing here alone?", Wang Mengni nodded, pointing to the wood in front of Tong Chen.

Tong Chen was stunned: "Uh, it's nothing, it's playing alone."

Wang Mengni was not so easy to fool, she walked up to Tong Chen: "Well, let me see, you seem to be drilling wood to make fire, it's amazing."

Tong Chen's head was stunned for a while, what's the big deal, brother has been several times, but he didn't succeed once, I don't know if you are really praising me, or laughing at me in disguise.

However, Wang Mengni did not continue to dwell on this issue, and in a blink of an eye she asked again: "How long will you come back?"

Tong Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"It's been a while since I've been back".

"What kind of job did you find after graduating from college", Wang Mengni looked at Tong Chen, with inexplicable envy in the depths of her eyes.

Tong Chen waved his hand and replied very sloppily: "I became a photographer after graduating from university, but now I am unemployed."

"Photographer?Is it the kind of photography??Is it taking wedding photos?", Wang Mengni looked interested.

"Uh, no, I'm not that kind of photographer, I'm the kind of photographer who shoots TV," Tong Chen explained.

Wang Mengni's eyes shone even more: "Wait, I know, is what you see on TV all taken by your photographers."

"Well, so to speak."

"Then you should have seen a lot of big stars", Wang Mengni spoke louder.

Hearing this, Tong Chen vaguely recalled some things in Beidu in his mind.

"Yes, I've seen a lot of famous stars."

Tong Chen didn't say anything big, he worked as a photographer in a variety show, the show has been very popular over the years, and he has seen a lot of so-called stars.

Wang Mengni also learned from Tong Chen and squatted on the ground: "I really envy you, but why did you quit such a good job?"

"Uh..." , Facing Wang Mengni's gaze, Tong Chen fell into sluggishness, can he say that he was fired, as for the specific reason, he is not very clear.

Tong Chen had a bright light: "Didn't I learn photography, I'm still a photographer in another place."

"Oh yes."

"What are you doing here?"

Wang Mengni pointed to the back basket on her back, which still contained a lot of wooden sticks she had picked up.

At this time, her mood was obviously much lower: "Pick up wood to make a fire and cook."

Tong Chen knew that he shouldn't have said this.

Neither of them was a good talker, and there was no topic for discussion, and they fell into silence face to face, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

Then Tong Chen briefly chatted with Wang Mengni for a while, then she stood up and said: "Let's talk another day, I still have to pick up materials and go home to cook."

"Are you married?", Tong Chen asked the question he had always wanted to ask, although it was just out of curiosity, and it didn't mean anything else.

But as soon as he said it, Tong Chen couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

Bastard, what kind of question are you asking?

Wang Mengni's steps forward, it seems that this question is obviously beyond her expectations.

She didn't look back.

"Not yet," he paused.
