"Fire is a key part of wilderness survival, and it can be used to cook food and drive away wild animals. ”
"What happened last night has always haunted me. ”
"Now, I have a bad feeling that it will come back again, and whatever it is, it's always right to prevent it from happening. So, I had to figure out a way to make a fire before it got dark. ”
Back to camp.
Lin Feng got into the bushes, walked around for a while, picked up a withered yellow branch, and put it in front of the camera to show it.
"This is the branch of Zhu Jinmu, which is characterized by low moisture and dense structure, making it an excellent material for starting fires. ”
"Zhu Jin is an evergreen shrub, native to China, but in the Pacific Islands, it can be found everywhere, it is easy to obtain, as long as you pay attention, you can definitely find it, and Zhu Jin in this place is about to become a disaster. ”
Immediately afterward, Lin Feng found a dry hibiscus plank and some barren grass and dead branches, and then turned back to the shelter.
As he walked, he said: "There are many ways to make a fire in the wild, about a hundred kinds, some require tools, and some do not. In the previous live broadcast, I used to teach everyone the bow drill for fire, the hand drill for fire, and the flint method......"
"And this time, what I'm going to show you is a much simpler method of friction to make a fire, which I learned from the indigenous people of the Fiji Islands, called the fire plough method. ”
When he came to the beach, Lin Feng found a relatively flat ground, knelt on one knee, pressed the base of the wooden plank against the beach, and then used a stone knife to carve a shallow groove on it.
"This is the ember trough, which is used to store the embers. ”
"The fire plough method, as the name suggests, is a plough with wooden sticks and wooden planks for the ground, and on this ember trough, rubbing is repeated until enough embers have accumulated...... That's about it, okay, let's get started!"
After speaking, Lin Feng got busy.
The hibiscus planks were very dry, and with a light plough, the wood dust powder on the ember trough increased.
"Sneer......"
"Whirring ......"
For a while, the live broadcast room was filled with the sound of friction and Lin Feng's dull breathing.
"It's cool to set fire for a while, and it's cool to set fire all the time!"
"How many years do you have to be single to have this kind of hand speed?"
"If you want to get rich, you must first pick up trees!"
"Everyday arson"
After about two or three minutes, the wood chips in the groove began to accumulate more and more, and wisps of black smoke gradually came out.
It's about to succeed.
Lin Feng naturally didn't dare to relax, he tightened his hands and continued to exert his strength.
"Sneer——!"
However, just as the embers were about to emerge from the sparks, the sweat on the tip of his nose began to drip one after another, falling on the embers with a sizzling sound.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng's heart trembled, like a deflated ball, and he stopped the movements in his hands.
In the next second, he frowned, panting and said: "Huh——! brothers, this is the last thing I want to see, although I have been very careful, my sweat still touches the burning embers......"
"Ahh
Helpless, he scratched his head and cried out in pain.
It's really daunting when something like this happens when you're making a fire.
It took a lot of time and energy and it turned out to be nothing.
All this made Lin Feng, who was already struggling, depressed again.
From the first day he came to the desert island, he kept telling himself that he must adjust his emotions.
But in the current situation, no matter how good his mentality is, it will inevitably fluctuate.
"Hoo ......"
After resting for a while, Lin Feng let out a long breath, picked up the wooden stick, and continued to rub it.
Having learned the previous lesson, this time Lin Feng chose to tilt his head and try to keep his nose away from the plank.
"Sneer—"
In the beginning, it went fairly well.
Through his unremitting efforts, the embers were multiplied again.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's face was overjoyed, and when he was almost there, he immediately stopped his movements, swept the embers into the ignition that had been prepared first, and then knelt on the ground, tilted his head, and blew to fuel the combustion.
However, in the next second, when he thought that the ignition would spew flames, the embers inside were extinguished......
"Ah——! damn it!"
After complaining, Lin Feng sat directly on the beach and put his palm in front of the camera.
"You see, my hands hurt so much. ”
His palms began to turn red due to the exertion, and calluses had formed at the base of his fingers, which were black and dark.
"Maybe I'm too anxious, that's why I fail again and again, no way, brothers, I need fire too much. ”
"It's going to get dark now. That thing might come over again tonight, and I really don't know what would have happened during the night without the fire...... So ......"
As he spoke, he took a few deep breaths and whispered to the camera, "I have to try again." ”
The huge frustration had some impact on his mentality.
But he didn't want to give up.
Soon, Lin Feng adjusted his posture, clenched the wooden stick, and continued to rub it.
"Sneer——!"
After a while, the debris turned into a pile and hot gas came out.
“e On……”
Lin Feng squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, and at the same time, his hand sped up.
After a minute, the embers were accumulating and the color began to turn black, and it looked like it was about to succeed.
But at this moment, the wooden stick in his hand suddenly broke and shattered in half.
"Smack!"
Lin Feng's eyes were closed, and he shook his head in disappointment, "Damn, grass!"
"Whew——!"
The repeated failure to take fire made the last line of defense in his heart suddenly collapse.
Lin Feng sat on the beach and was silent for a few seconds before he slowly spoke: "I never thought that I would fail, but the result is ......"
"Hey...... Brothers, that feeling of panic is here again. ”
After thinking for a while, he changed his words and lifted his spirits, "No, it can't be like this, I have to control my emotions." ”
"I'm going to wipe this frustration out of my heart and get back on my feet. Actually, everything is not very bad yet, in front of this small island, I still have an absolute advantage, there is no need to be discouraged for this failure. ”
"Now, I have a stone knife at my disposal, I have found a stable source of water, I have food, I have shelter, and things are going in a good direction. ”
"If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and if you want to conquer this island, you must endure all the ...... it brings me."
In order to sweep away the loss, Lin Feng said a lot of truth to the drone, trying to quiet himself.
In the live broadcast room, the audience listened to his words and encouraged:
"Master Feng, hold steady!
"I feel sorry for Master Feng for three seconds!"
"It's really not easy for the anchor, come on!"
"The long-awaited headwind has finally arrived!"
"Appeared, talk about the wind and be reasonable against the wind!"
"A cloud of smoke and rain Ren Pingsheng gave the anchor 10 sources of life—— it's too much to say, come on!"
"Straight male Lolita gave the anchor 1 shelter—— stabilize don't wave, we can win!"
Looking at the barrage on the drone, Lin Feng wiped the sweat on his forehead and thanked, "Thank you for your gifts." ”
"I'm so sorry, this is a failed demonstration, I can't continue, I have to stop, save some energy, keep trying, it will only make my mentality worse......"
