It was getting dark, and the dense jungle was dark, except for the chirping of insects and the rustling of the grass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shinji's backpack contains a few changes of clothes, a wallet, and a tablet. So now he and Asuka don't have any camping equipment other than a machete.

Fearing that they would miss the follow-up rescue, the two did not go far, but only found a rocky depression near the crash site - a suitable place to sleep.

Originally, Shinji wanted to find a water source, but he didn't find any streams when he walked around.

When it gets dark, it's no longer suitable for further exploration, and the physical exertion is also very large.

The two of them endured hunger and thirst, so they could only find a suitable place to spend the night first.

Shinji had found a few palm trees before, and the wide fan-shaped foliage was perfect for shading.

Therefore, some branches were cut down and placed diagonally on the rock wall, and then covered with palm leaves to protect from the wind, forming a small airtight space.

Asuka couldn't help because she hurt her leg, so she could only sit on the side and watch Shinji sweat profusely, feeling a little careful.

This guy has been carrying himself for a day, and he is still walking on this rugged mountain road, and the physical exertion is undoubtedly very huge.

Once you've set up your nest for the night, it's time to think about starting a fire.

Although fire is not necessary for survival, if you can successfully start a fire, it can greatly improve your sense of well-being.

A warm flame not only warms up the body, but also brings a sense of security and boosts confidence.

But......

"Stupid Shinji, we don't have ignition tools at hand, how can we make a fire with our bare hands?"

Shinji glanced at Asuka, "Can you call me by name without the word 'stupid'?"

"No, don't want to take off your stupid hat. ”

"Oh, that clever Asuka-sama genius, do you have any advice on making a fire?"

"That's not simple, you can drill wood for fire, rattan for fire. ”

Rattan fire, this method is the same as drilling wood for fire, both use friction to generate heat. Find a dry tree trunk, split it at one end, stretch the crack open, plug the tinder, use a rattan about two feet long, wear it behind the tinder, step on the trunk with both feet, and quickly twitch the rattan left and right to rub it and heat it and ignite the fire.

However, whether it is drilling wood for fire or rattan for fire, it is very laborious and the success rate is not high. Inexperienced novices may rub their hands full of blood blisters, and they can't get a little spark after tossing for most of the day.

"But I didn't find the right rattan. "The rattan that is suitable for making a fire must be dry and very tough and durable.

"Then find a piece of dry wood to drill. ”

"Have you practiced this method?"

"No, what's wrong? Isn't it a simple thing?"

"Hmph, it's just paper. Let your brother teach you a faster way. ”

Shinji gives Asuka a confident smile, which intrigues her.

He clapped his hands, took the tablet out of his backpack, pried it open with a knife, and took out a palm-sized battery.

Seeing this, Asuka understood, "Oh, it turned out to be using the battery ......"

The slab has no use in the deep mountains and old forests, and its only value lies in this.

Then Shinji dug through his pocket for a long time and took out a small ball of paper, which turned out to be a piece of tin foil wrapped in chewing gum, and was put in his pocket at some point.

Unfold the tin foil, carefully tear out a long strip that is large at both ends and thin in the middle, and then connect the ends to the positive and negative terminals of the battery.

In this way, the tin foil and the battery will form a short circuit, and the thinnest part of the tin foil will have a high resistance, and the high heat generated in a flash ignites the paper layer that adheres to the tin foil.

This precious little flame lasted only a few seconds, and Shinji quickly lit the hay that was prepared on the side.

Then the grass mass is lit with small branches, dry bark, and then larger branches, and a fire is formed.

Asuka was stunned by Shinji's technique, "Did you camp a lot before? ”

"No, I just read it once in a book and understand it a little. Shinji pretended to be forced, his chin turned upward.

In fact, it was the craft he practiced in his previous life by crawling in the field and roasting sweet potatoes in an earthen kiln.

Children in the countryside often gather in a circle, first dig a small pit, around the pit with clods of soil into a cone-shaped cave, light a fire in it to burn the clods of soil dry and red, then throw the sweet potatoes into it, and then bury the hot clods of soil, cover with a layer of insulated sand, and wait for an hour to enjoy a delicious meal.

This has higher requirements for hands-on ability and fire-making skills, and novices often take a long time to build a cave kiln, and then light the fire only to see smoke but no flames...... Shinji was one of the best in the day, and because the clay kiln he built was tall and sharp, and extremely symmetrical and beautiful, he had the title of gold medal kiln builder.

It's a pity that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and under the current circumstances, this craft is useless.

"I didn't catch any living creatures today, so I had to use mulberries to satisfy my hunger. ”

Shinji took out a large handful of mulberries and wrapped them in wide green leaves.

The two of them found only one fruiting mulberry tree today, which was the only source of energy and water.

Asuka picked up a jet-black fruit and observed it in the firelight.

"Why, haven't you eaten it before?" Shinji asked.

"I've only eaten dried fruits. Asuka took a bite, and it was really full and juicy, "Well, it's good, it's delicious!"

Asuka looked up and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, stupid Shinji, you seem to have put on lipstick...... What a sissy!"

Shinji ate too much and dyed his entire lips purple and looked very ...... Flirtatious.

"yes, you're pretty much the same, like poison. ”

After the two of them finished eating, they kept the fire with the ignition polypore fungus.

The so-called ignition fungus is the kind of large fungus cap that grows on the tree, and after drying, it is a porous structure, as long as it ignites a little, it will slowly smolder like a mosquito coil, and it can be wrapped in green moss to further reduce the burning rate, and it is no problem to last for four or five hours.

This method is very old, dating back to the time of primitive people.

For the sake of insurance, Shinji also connected multiple ignition bacteria, which is more effective.

At night, the temperature in the mountains and forests drops further, and with the cold and humid air, the cold air can penetrate the bone marrow.

The two of them snuggled together, chatting nonsense without a match.

"It's been 10 hours since the crash, why hasn't the rescue arrived yet?" Asuka looked at the firelight, feeling a little anxious.

"Perhaps, the headquarters has fallen, and we are a safe place here. Shinji was also pondering this question repeatedly.

"Wouldn't it? Asuka's eyes widened.

"No matter how powerful a high-tech weapon is, it needs people to manipulate it. ”

"What do you mean......" Asuka easily thought that if the soldiers stationed there were also infected, it would be difficult to maintain order.

"Don't overthink it, maybe the plane will come when you wake up. By the way, does your leg still hurt?"

Asuka moved and hurt her leg, but she still felt a little dull pain, "It's much better." ”

"That's good, it's getting late, go to bed early. Shinji walked out of the den and brought in a lot of hay.

"That ......" Asuka's expression suddenly twisted a little, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Shinji, "I want to relieve my hands......" The voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"Oh, I'll carry you. ”

At this time, Shinji didn't dare to laugh at her, and the two of them took torches made of straw stalks and walked behind a big rock not far away, and Shinji put down Asuka and stepped aside, guarding with the stone on his back.

"Be careful, Asuka, watch for any toads to bite your ass!"

Shinji suddenly roared in the direction of the stone.

"Stupid Shinji, I want you to take care of it!" Asuka was shy, and was mentioned in the unbearable past, and she almost wanted to kill.

While sleeping, Shinji extinguishes the fire and spreads a thick layer of hay on the burned ground.

After sealing the entrance with a tree branch, in the dark, the two men hugged each other, their hearts beating fast, and the smell of fireworks and hay was all around.

"Asuka, is it still cold?" Shinji held her tightly in his arms.

"It's not cold, the ground is warm. ”

"I'm sorry, it was my idea to come out and play, and you suffered. Shinji was very guilty.

After a while, Asuka's weak voice came, "Actually, it's pretty good......"

Shinji felt a leg straddle him.

"Don't move, raise your injured leg a little higher. Asuka in her arms said.

"Oh, go to sleep. Shinji kissed her hair and quickly fell into a deep sleep, breathing more evenly. (To be continued.) )
