Chapter 28: Challenges

Su Xiaoman was neither annoyed nor angry, and there was still a little sweetness in her heart. Not only does it feel sweet, but Su Xiaoman has also increased her ambiguity and restlessness a little because she came into contact with Ou Shangwen's skin, and her face is a little ruddy.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Su Xiaoman hurriedly looked for something to do: "Didn't you tell me to use wood for fire? Oh, drill wood for fire, I said it wrong." Is that really hard? I just wanted to give it a try. Hey, aren't you looking for a little less moss?"

"I can't help it, just find a little bit of it, but luckily they're dry. Ou Shangwen picked up the thick firewood, found another piece of wood, took out his knife and cut it a few times. Just rub rub rub rub, rub for a long time, and Mars will come out. ”

"Oh, I know, I've seen it on TV, it's going to smoke first, right?"

"Yes, if there is smoke coming out, there is more hope. ”

"Then, shall I try it first?" Su Xiaoman was very excited, there was a new challenge, and she had some inexplicable motivation.

"I'm very tired, can you do this?"

Su Xiaoman's expression was stubborn: "I don't believe that the two of us can't make a fire yet." She began to rub the wood hard.

"Don't you think that's a little strange?" asked Ou Shangwen with a smile.

"What's weird?" Su Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ou Shangwen, who was about to laugh: "What's strange? I think you're weird like this, like a fool." Which of my words is strange?"

Ou Shangwen finally managed to suppress his laughter: "You say, you said that, you don't believe that the two of us can't make a fire?"

Su Xiaoman's face turned red all of a sudden: "Your crow mouth, your evil ears, and your words have made you hear badly, work." Is it okay to push yourself like this?" she is smart enough to change the subject in an instant.

"Yes, you can try this. Ou Shangwen handed over a new piece of wood, and Su Xiaoman took the wood: "Is there a difference?"

"That's a little thin!"

Su Xiaoman nodded, took the tool made by Ou Shangwen to drill wood for fire, and rubbed it vigorously. After a while, there was no spark or smoke in sight. Su Xiaoman let out a sigh. I felt a little sore in my arm. "It's really that hard, won't it take two or three hours like you said?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on how dry the wood is, how strong your hand is, how often you rub it, and so on. ”

Su Xiaoman was full of confidence: "Don't worry, with me, I will definitely let you be on the fire." ”

Ou Shangwen couldn't help laughing, he didn't dare to say this, Su Xiaoman actually dared to say it so easily, it was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Ou Shangwen tried the method of drilling wood for fire, but he really didn't like it, because it was too tiring, and the wood he was looking for was not necessarily suitable.

Su Xiaoman rubbed with her right hand for a while, then switched to her left hand, and gradually slowed down. Ou Shangwen watched from the side with a hard heart, he knew that when Su Xiaoman was reckless, he had to cooperate, otherwise she would be annoyed and anxious. He grabbed Su Xiaoman's hand: "You take a break, I'll come." ”

Su Xiaoman gave the wood to Ou Shangwen, and she looked puzzled: "No, what I did was wrong?"

"Yes, yes, it seems that you have a little less strength, see if I can do it?" I can only say try it, and I'm not sure that it will really catch fire. ”

"Are you so faithless? It seems to me that for the first time I have noticed that you are suddenly out of faith. ”

Ou Shangwen just frowned slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled a little strangely, but he didn't answer Su Xiaoman, because he didn't try it himself, so he didn't want to say big things. Su Xiaoman didn't seem to believe Ou Shangwen's difficulty, she felt that if she rubbed it enough, there would be fire.

Ou Shangwen's strength was indeed great, he rubbed the two pieces of wood whirringly, and after a long time, the sweat came out, and the two pieces of wood were still safe and sound, there was no smoke or fire.

Su Xiaoman touched Ou Shangwen's arm: "Come on, change people, I don't believe that the two of us can't get angry." After saying this, she couldn't laugh anymore, why did she say this ridiculous thing again?

Ou Shangwen laughed directly: "I'll be honest with you, this fire is much more troublesome than giving birth to a child." ”

Su Xiaoman glanced at Ou Shangwen: "What do you know? You?" She quickly shut up, yes, she didn't understand, she hadn't given birth to a child, so let's hurry up and work. Su Xiaoman took the piece of wood over again and rubbed it vigorously for a long time.

The two of them changed over and over, but the wood still didn't change much. Su Xiaoman felt that the time was going to be an hour, or more, because it was already dark, and it was about to get dark.

Su Xiaoman was a little discouraged: "What should we do?

"Failure? When surviving in the wild, there are often failures. If you fail, you can continue to fight for victory, but it's nothing. As I told you, drilling wood for fire is a very difficult skill. I also fail often, but this time in front of my goddess, I don't want to fail. ”

Ou Shangwen smiled warmly at Su Xiaoman, and continued to lower his head and rub the wood hard. Su Xiaoman complained on the side: "How do I feel that all the dates I ate just now have been absorbed by this wood?"

"Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, and I also feel that the dates are really gone. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, doing this kind of hard work is really physically exhausting.

Su Xiaoman stretched out his arm: "Why don't I pick a little more, and you can tell me the approximate distance and direction." ”

Ou Shangwen thought for a while: "Forget it, it's going to be dark soon, and I still won't go, even if I go, I'll go." ”

"Hey, how can you use so much strength to drill wood to make a fire? I feel more tired than running, all the strength of my body has been used, the key is that it is too easy to be discouraged, will you laugh at me if I say this?" Su Xiaoman was really a little deflated.

"No, it won't. It's important to insist, let's hold on a little longer, and it should be fine. Auchanwen was not discouraged.

"Then stick to it. I said, while it's not completely dark, why don't you go pick some more dates, so that we can eat a little more when we're hungry in the middle of the night. Although this jujube is a bit raw and not yet ripe, it can barely satisfy hunger. Su Xiaoman still remembers the matter of eating.

"Okay. I'll go. Ou Shangwen happily handed the wood to Su Xiaoman: "Don't be too tired, take a rest when you're tired, I'll be back soon." ”

"Then do you have anything else to put in the dates?"

"No, just keep it in my pocket and hand. ”

"Why don't you take your shirt away?" Su Xiaoman was still worried that he wouldn't be able to take it.

"Not so much. Let's just pick some less, and when we leave tomorrow, we'll pick some and take it with us on the way to eat, okay?"

"Okay. Thanks to this date tree. Who planted it? We have to thank his ancestors. ”

Ou Shangwen always felt that Su Xiaoman's thoughts were quite interesting, and he didn't know whether she wanted to thank the ancestor of the tree or the ancestor of the tree planter. "You rub the wood, thank you, I'm gone. ”

After Ou Shangwen finished speaking, he walked out quickly, at this time the rain was a little lighter, but the sky was really dark, Ou Shangwen ran forward quickly, he had to rush back before it was completely dark, otherwise Su Xiaoman would be afraid. He had thought of all of this in advance.

At this moment, Su Xiaoman didn't feel afraid, and now she was dealing with those two pieces of wood wholeheartedly. She sandwiched the wood on the ground with her two feet, rubbing her hands vigorously, while still straining: "I don't believe that you are harder than me, compare whether you are hard or I am hard." It's almost half way off, so why isn't there a spark yet? Don't you know that we need fire so badly? We're going to bake wet clothes, we're going to have a little warmth, a little bit of light. Wood, wood, can you not be so ruthless. Su Xiaoman rubbed while discussing with the wood.

After working for a long time, the wood was still indifferent. Su Xiaoman rubbed the wood with both hands: "You should indeed be moved, stinky wood, people are here to serve you with both hands and feet, who are you worthy of if you don't have a spark? ”

Because Ou Shangwen knew the clear place, and his speed was also very fast, he ran back after a while, he stood on the side and watched Su Xiaoman and the wood fight, Su Xiaoman rubbed and nagged.

"Don't let me lose face, okay? You are a stinky wood, how good am I to you, who can serve you with both hands and feet like me? Your treatment level is high enough, don't hold on to it anymore, come to a little fire, even if it's a little spark, it means that you have a little temperature, right? Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and when you are reincarnated in the future, you may be able to be a good immortal. ”

Auchanwen almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Dear wood, you won't be wood in your heart, will you? No, you will definitely be reincarnated as a good immortal, I have a hunch. ”

Ou Shangwen, who was standing on the side, couldn't help laughing: "Is this okay? You seem to be too good to wood, and after saying so many good things, it should be moved." ”

Su Xiaoman was pleasantly surprised: "Are you back?When did you come back?Why did you come back so quickly?It seems that you came back without rubbing a few times." ”

"That's because you're working too hard. ”

Su Xiaoman saw the small green jujube in Ou Shangwen's hand, so he hurriedly took a few of them, and began to eat them without wiping them: "Why am I so hungry today?"

"Because you're sweating, you're working, you're working. ”

"That's pretty much the same as usual, and we usually do it. Su Xiaoman talked while eating.
