19. Make a fire
As time passed, night fell, and only a little moonlight illuminated the sea, still sparkling. The oncoming sea breeze was a little humid and there was no temperature. A few slight insect chirps around were drowned out by the swaying of branches. If you are alone on this island, you will definitely feel terrifying!
The surrounding qiฤ was plunged into darkness, and only by this small fire could see things clearly.
However, the wedge-shaped rock wall naturally could not shine on the moonlight, and only the firelight cast the shadows of the two on the wall, showing their teeth and claws, which was very arrogant. Nighttime temperatures and daytime temperatures are two extremes. This rock wall is a good barrier to the sea breeze, but not the cold and damp air.
Wei Jinyi sneeze involuntarily.
"Nangong, it's so cold! Let's make a fire! Wei Jin trembled and hugged himself with both hands.
"We are empty-handed, how can we make fire?" Bo Xiling also felt the coolness, but in this island, there was nothing, how to make a fire.
"What a bare hands! I have that, that thing called a fire fold. โ
"That's true!"
"Of course! Why am I lying to you! Seeing that Bo Xiling didn't believe it, Wei Jinyi took out the fire fold that had been dried for a long time in the afternoon, it should be able to be used!
"Your fire fold is also soaked in water, and then it will not be used." Bo Xiling walked to a more hidden corner in frustration, taking warmth with her heart.
"Oh, don't be so pessimistic, maybe it's a waterproof fire break."
Wei Jinyi carefully took out the inner tube and slowly blew on it.
Once, there was no response, and the second time, there was still no response. Ten times in a row, Wei Jinyi kept blowing the fire folds soaked in sea water like a fool.
Bo Xiling couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over from behind, wanting to reach out and knock down the fire fold. But I heard Wei Jin shout, "It's done." โ
In the dark night, the glimmer of light emitted from the fire fold was particularly eye-catching, and Bo Xiling couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Wei Jinyi, who couldn't really see it.
What kind of person is this Wei Jinyi, what is sure can be overthrown!
Wei Jinyi naturally didn't think as much as Bo Xiling, she protected the fire with one hand, picked up the dead branches and leaves on the ground with the other, and started to make a fire.
"Nangong, hurry up and pick up some firewood, the fire is going out."
Wei Jinyi concentrated on blowing the sporadic flames on the ground, for fear that it would be extinguished if he was not careful, and he would have to start over again. Thinking of this, Wei Jin blew vigorously, and the frequency of blowing was also extremely fast, like a veteran.
When Bo Xiling came back after picking up firewood, he saw that the flames had increased, and a wisp of green smoke rose. Bo Xiling obeyed Wei Jinyi's advice, added some tiny leaves to the fire, and folded the slender branches into several sections and set them aside for later use.
Wei Jin blew with all his might, and the smoke in the grass became bigger and bigger, and finally brushed it, and the flames burst out.
"It worked!" Wei Jinyi was so excited that she danced with her hands and feet, and there were some sawdust on her face, but this did not affect her excitement in the slightest.
Bo Xiling looked at Wei Jinyi in the firelight, his face was full of sรจ, and his eyebrows and eyes shrank into a slit with a smile. The first time I found out, Wei Jinyi was quite handsome, especially when he laughed.
After watching it for a long time, Bo Xiling was also infected by her excitement and laughed, but she didn't expect that her laughter was captured by Wei Jinyi and made a big fuss.
"Eh, Nangong, you're smiling! I think girls still have to smile more to look good, you see how good you look when you smile. โ
"Goo-goo-goo-" Just as Wei Jinyi was still about to say his long-winded opinion, his stomach rang out inappropriately.
At this time, Wei Jinyi was not shy, but left a sentence with righteousness and awe: "Nangong, you burn the fire here, I'll go hunting!" Soon we will have something to eat! โ
"It's just you, one was accidentally swept away by the waves, I still have to save you, or I'll go." Bo Xiling reached for the only hunting tool on the ground, a dagger worth three millets.
But her movements were stopped by Wei Jinyi, "I really know how to swim, I have a leg cramp today." I still have a diving certificate! โ
Bo Xiling ignored it, picked up the knife and was about to walk into the darkness.
Wei Jinyi stopped her again, "Are we going to make a torch or something?" Otherwise, how can you see this! โ
"It makes sense, you do it"
"Huh? I'm not an ancient, how can I make a torch? Wei Jin looked at Bo Xiling with a sad face, at a loss.
And Bo Xiling shrugged, a picture I don't know how to do, you see that I'm useless.
"Okay, I'll do it, I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run, although I often eat pork."
Wei Jinyi picked up a relatively thick branch on the ground and used a dagger to cut off the small branches outside the main trunk. It is then cut into an arm's length of wood.
And then what?
Wei Jinyi looked at Bo Xiling on the side dumbfounded, wanting to ask her opinion.
Who knew that Bo Xiling grabbed the wood on the ground violently, walked to the fire, threw it at will, and put one end of the wood on the edge of the fire, watching it slowly ignite with an expression.
After that end was completely ignited, Bo Xiling took the log, and the raging flames illuminated the surrounding Qiqi, and also illuminated Bo Xiling's face, and Wei Jinyi vaguely saw her smile.
This man is always secretly laughing!
Bo Xiling picked up the torch and was about to walk into the jungle, and she was not afraid of animals that looked fierce but could actually kill with a single blow.
But this was Wei Jinyi who ran to her again and stopped her with his arms wide, "You can't go, it's dangerous inside!" โ
"Don't you believe in me?" Bo Xiling pulled down her face, she didn't know what Wei Jinyi was insisting on.
"I know that your martial arts are very high, and it is more than enough to deal with those fierce beasts, but now you have to face not only them, but also nature!" Wei Jinyi spoke in an extremely strict tone.
"Nature?" Bo Xiling looked at Wei Jinyi with puzzled eyes, but found that Wei Jinyi's expression at this moment was unusually firm. The current state of Wei Jinyi is something Bo Xiling has never seen.
"Yes, it's nature! Human beings are simply insignificant in the face of nature. Not to mention conquering nature, it's! โ
Bo Xiling's eyebrows were lowered, and Wei Jinyi knew that she had listened to her words and was thinking.
Then, Bo Xiling looked at Wei Jinyi again, with a weird smile on his face, "Aren't you there?" Famous botanist! โ
Listening to the slightly frivolous tone, Wei Jinyi blushed again rarely.
"Where...... I'm here... In front of nature, I also want to, what is that called, bow down... Bow down to the subordinate. โ
"Okay, I'll listen to you now, if you can't find food at the beach tonight, I want you to look good!" Bo Xiling made a gesture to wipe his head, and Wei Jin's heart trembled when he saw it.
