Chapter 33: Lighters
For such a request, of course, anyone will agree. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The firewood was there, the meat was there, and even the spices were there, and it almost caught fire. The clerk ran up from the underground bunker: "Oh no, Leah went to the river with the bag of lighters." ”
"Just one is enough. Andrei looked around: "Don't you have any of them?"
"Smoking is not allowed here, and it prevents fire, so all the lighters are gone. The clerk ran to the river in a hurry.
"How did she get it?" a man got angry: "How do you roast this meat?"
A woman muttered: "I just kindly reminded me that since I want to wash it, let's see what else can be washed together, but I didn't expect her to take it together... ”
Andrei sneered and took out a lighter from his pocket, which he always had.
"It's so good it's ready to be baked. "Everyone was rejoicing.
"Wait. Andre put away the lighter: "Test everyone, if there is no lighter, what will be used to ignite it?"
One immediately shouted: "Match." ”
It was also immediately ridiculed by everyone, and now there are still a few people with matches.
"Drill wood for fire. One man shouted. This is the most primitive method, and many books do not say that if there is no fire, drill wood to make fire.
"Not bad!" Andrei raised his eyebrows: "Then you try." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, and looked left and right: "How did you get it?"
"It's like two pieces of wood rubbing against each other... It should be drilled, not to say that it is drilled wood, how to make fire without drilling... No, I seem to have seen it, I should have made a slot first... Everyone started to talk about it, and some people really tried it.
"Is there any other way?" asked Andrei, as if interested.
"You can use a magnifying glass... By the way, my glasses should work too!" someone else has figured out a solution.
"Actually, there is another way. Andrei pulled something out of his backpack and burst into laughter.
A box of sets, can a set of sets light a fire?
"Wait!" Andre pulled a bottle of water from his bag.
When water is poured into the sleeve, it becomes a water balloon. The water balloon condenses sunlight and turns it into a magnifying glass in disguise... He Ningyan suddenly realized that the set could still be used like this, no wonder Andre and Huang Weiguo each took a box when they went out.
At this time, the clerk returned, his face full of chagrin: "This guy has soaked everything in water. ”
"Something to be expected. Andre looked at He Ningyan deeply, as if there were words in his eyes.
Who can tell whether it is an unintentional accident or an intentional murder? Whether intentionally or not, it is itself harming others.
"Let's play ours. Andrei looked left and right: "Why don't we try every method and see who lights the fire first." ”
So everyone began to experiment with great interest, and the result was Andre the fastest. The second with myopic glasses is the slowest is to drill wood, and in the end, only one person is still trying, and the others have gone to barbecue.
He Ningyan knew that this refuge was all hiding in the dark, not in the wild, and Andre should be teaching her a trick by doing this.
Sure enough, Andre sat next to her and said leisurely: "When you don't have isolation gloves, you can put them on your fingers." It can also be used when there is no water container. Can be used as a rubber band... Make use of all the resources around you. ”
"It's not that I am asked to do more work, I take some cloth bags to wash and say that I am not good. The lighter is so light, how can I carry it... Can't you see if there's anything in it before you wash it? . . I haven't washed anything before... "The noise was heard from a distance. It was Leah who argued with the clerk.
When I walked here, I was already red-faced.
A bag of wet lighters was thrown in front of everyone, and naturally the fire could not be made when the flint was soaked.
"I don't blame me for that. Leah was aggrieved.
Andrei didn't even look at it: "Count how many there are." ”
The clerk immediately reported the number: "Thirty-five, I recorded." ”
"That's good. Andre said lightly: "You go to find thirty-five lighters and come back now, when you find all of them, and when you come back to get food." Keep the best piece for her, just leave it for one night, and if you don't come back tomorrow, there will be no food for you here. ”
That is, if she can't find enough lighters tomorrow, Leah won't have to come back.
"Where can I find it?" cried Leah.
It's not nonsense, go to the nearby store to see, small shops, supermarkets are all selling.
A man kindly reminded her, but Leah lowered her head and looked like a white rabbit: "Just, am I going alone? It's so dangerous outside." ”
"Just bring two torches, and if you know you're scared, be careful about anything you do in the future. Andrei did not have the slightest intention of compromise: "Hurry up and barbecue, there is still a lot of work to be done after eating." ”
If you go with Leah, it seems that you can't be regarded as helping here, and you can't get food, so no one else naturally offered to go with Leah and protect her closely. Leah is not a stunning beauty, even if she is plump and beautiful, it is not worth helping her without a meal, and she has to offend many people.
The meat is already squeaking in the fire and will soon be cooked. Leah also picked up two torches, lit one and held the other, and went out to find a lighter.
After watching Leah leave, Andre asked softly, "How long do you guess she will take?"
With her stupidity, at least for half a day... He Ningyan said his true thoughts: "At least two or three hours." ”
Andrei snorted coldly: "I hope so!"
The first batch of meat was roasted, and the women and children, as well as the sick and the elderly, got it first. Although someone handed Andrei a copy, Andrei refused, saying that he would follow the rules.
Leah came back shortly after the second batch of meat was roasted, and took thirty-five lighters, which took about fifteen minutes.
"Yo is back, so soon?"
Leah smiled: "Luckily, there is a small shop outside with lighters in it." ”
There may be only one store in the neighborhood that sells cigarettes and alcohol, and the other is a small supermarket that may not have so many lighters, and it has been looted several times. It's not easy to recognize this shop from so many places that have no windows, have been swept many times, and can be eaten.
The clerk said dissatisfiedly, "You just take this amount, is it so coincidental? Can't you take a few more?"
Leah's face was full of grievances again: "But these... A lot... I am hungry. ”
"Give it to her. Andrei didn't say much else.
The clerk was angry, and someone comforted her: "Don't be angry, the lighter is put in the sun to dry, it should still work, as long as it is enough." ”
As soon as Leah received her share of the meat, she happily ate it. I thought it was two or three hours, but it turned out to be only this time, and even Andre had just gotten the meat... He Ningyan seemed to understand something.
