Chapter Seventy-Eight: Stay Overnight
Unexpectedly, the answers of the two still disappointed me.
They said that they were shipwrecked that day, and after the five of them boarded the lifeboat, they were pushed away by a large wave at the wreck site, and then they drifted in a single boat, and never encountered any other ship until they landed here, and no outsiders had ever passed by here until we came.
When I heard this, I lost interest, it seemed that it was empty joy, after all, I still couldn't get any news about my cousin and Tian Qiuqiu.
Next, the two of them asked us about it in turn.
That Wang Jianming looked at me, then secretly looked at Su Wu, and said, "Your purpose is to find someone, that is, you have to continue to look for it?"
This guy, since we met, has secretly watched Su Wu several times, don't think I don't know, my eyes are sharper than his.
My sister Su is very charming and fantastical, but she is a woman who is my Yu Le, and she does not allow outsiders to be obscene, believe it or not, I am angry and beat people.
I said, "yes, we decided to keep looking along the coast, and we won't stop until we find someone." ”
Wang Jianguang said: "Do you want to leave now, don't you stay and rest for one night? It's not too early." You're going to go ashore at night to rest, or are you always adrift at sea?"
I looked at Su Wu, Su Wu seemed to have this meaning, saw her look at her watch, asked for my opinion: "Lele, why don't we stay here for one night, it's more than three o'clock now, we can't walk for two or three hours on the road, and then we have to go ashore again to find a camp." You see that they don't have a fire, you might as well make a fire out of it, how will you let them live in the future without fire. ”
This woman has a very good heart, and I like it so much!
I originally meant to leave immediately, and there is no news of my cousin and Tian Qiuqiu here, and I don't want to stay longer.
But at this time, it was indeed not early, I thought about it, and then I respected Su Wu's meaning, and said, "Then let's stay for one night." I'll get some meat here tomorrow. We didn't have much food. ”
Our jerky, after two or three days of eating, there is not much left, just now we divided more than a few catties of Wang Jianguang's brothers, and there is still a day or two of the amount left on the ship, so it is time to replenish.
Brother Wang, listening to the meaning of our conversation, it seems that we can still get the fire, and they are immediately extremely excited.
"Can you make a fire? Do you have waterproof matches on you?"
Su Wu turned his head to look at me and replied with a smile: "We don't have waterproof matches, but we have other ways to make a fire." ”
From her eyes, I could see full of admiration and love, maybe this woman was thinking, fortunately she met me Yu Le and was protected by me, if she was in the same boat as these two brothers at that time, then she doesn't know if she can still live.
Only then did she realize that it was so difficult to survive in the jungle and take a fire, without professional knowledge, she really didn't even think about it, there was no fire in this wilderness, she really had to drink blood, hunger and cold.
I took the wood-drilling tools wrapped in animal skins back from the ship, got some grass hair, and after a little work, I made a small fire.
The Wang brothers praised it: "Brother, you really have the ability, you can actually use such an ancient technology." ”
This...... But it's true, this technology is very ancient, and if you want to trace it up, you have to trace it back to the Suiren clan, which is the originator of Chinese civilization.
But this skill doesn't mean it's lost, playing wild survival, learning to drill wood for fire, that's the first lesson in the introduction. Only you urban moderns can't afford to learn this thing.
I looked up and said, "You know that fire is very important, why don't you know to keep it?"
Wang Jianguang explained: "It was originally kept. No, at first we didn't know how to keep it, but after using up the few matches we had left, we realized that we couldn't do without fire, so we kept it. But then, a heavy rain put out all the fires, and then we ran out of fires. ”
It turns out that this is the case, and it is not far from what I guessed, seven, seven, eight, eight.
Su Wu said: "Then you really have to learn this technique hard, just in case, in case it is doused with water a day later, then who do you find to go to the fire." ”
The Wang brothers claimed that they were, and began to ask me for advice on how to drill wood to make fire.
I don't hesitate to teach them, after all, they are all from the end of the world, and they all have a kind of sympathy for suffering, and I hope they can live here, wait for the final rescue, and then return to the city.
I told them the essentials of making a fire, and I took a piece of wood, and had them cut it into boards, and used it as a drill board, and then I put it on the fire to dry, and I put it on top of the wood, and the velvet grass, and so on.
If you don't usually need it, you can wrap it in animal skins and dry it for storage. When needed, take it out and use it, which can quickly start a fire after rain to keep warm and keep out the cold.
Wang Jianguang heard me mention just now that he wanted to hunt here and prepare food, so he came up and said, "Brother Yu, if you want to hunt, my brothers and sons will take you into the mountains tomorrow, we have lived here for a long time, and we know where there are wild things in this mountain." ”
I said, "Okay, I'll bother Brother Wang and you tomorrow." ”
Wang Jianguang said: "Actually, we also want to fight a little by ourselves, now that there is a fire, we also want to prepare some dried meat, just in case, for more than half a month, eating raw meat has really eaten us badly, and we don't want to smell that thing anymore." ”
I don't care, in fact, I don't need them to lead, with my experience, to find the traces of prey, I'm afraid I'm more familiar with the way than them.
But it's good for them to go together, three men go together, and if you're lucky, you can also round up large wild animals, such as wild boars, wild deer, and even bears and tigers.
At that time, we will definitely not use it up, and only take away twenty or thirty catties, and the rest will belong to the two brothers.
After a busy day, it was getting dark.
Su Wu and I definitely didn't spend the night with these two men, so we set up a camp again and spread it to the opposite side of the Wang brothers.
Originally, the Wang brothers wanted us to live in the thatched huts of the three victims.
However, the place where this dead man lived was a little unlucky, and I was afraid that Su Wu would not be able to bear it psychologically, and he would have nightmares at night. Second, these two thatched huts were too simple, so they used some hay to cover the canopy roof and four walls, and they had been in it for a long time, and they were not ventilated, and there was a musty smell.
If it doesn't rain on this day, we might as well camp in the open air.
Then there was the issue of night duty, I mentioned it to the Wang brothers, and they actually told me that they had never been worth any night, and when it came to night, everyone snorted and slept soundly. Really, really big-hearted......
