Chapter 479: Drilling wood for fire
readx;
Wushan is quite large, anyway, Qiubai and Xu Bo are a little lost now. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Both of them came to Wushan for the first time, and originally thought that they could quickly get out of the range of Wushan by following the river, but it was obviously delusional, and after crossing the three mountains, the two saw that the front was still as dark as ever.
"Boss Lin, let's take a break." Xu Bo only gasped.
The mountains are not more than flat land, walking in the mountains is really difficult, although there is no need to worry about beasts, but the underground road is difficult to walk to death, some grass is nearly half a meter deep, and you have to pull it out for a long time when you go down, Xu Bo usually thinks that his physical strength is good, but he can't resist it.
Qiu Bai is almost the same, his physical strength is almost exhausted, in the past, Qiu Bai went to the Ten Happiness Team almost all of them were taken by Black Eyebrows, with the huge size of Black Eyebrows, Qiu Bai can be said to have fallen asleep on its back and passed, no need to bother at all, now it feels quite difficult to walk by himself.
"I can't rest here, let's walk a little longer, if it doesn't work, go to the back of eight catties."
Eight catties is still manned, pangolins are not good, its chassis is relatively low, and forests like this are not easy to walk.
"Forget it, Bajin is still eating grass, let's talk about it when it's finished."
The two persevered for a while, and by the night, Qiubai seemed to see a light on the top of a mountain in front of him, and after looking carefully, he was immediately overjoyed: "There is a light, there is a house there." ”
"Where?"
"Mountain."
Xu Bo looked up, and suddenly sighed and said, "Rub, you have to climb so high..."
The orange light is on the top of the mountain, as if swaying, Xu Bo said so, but he also feels that he has strength in his body, and there are lights and rooms that mean that there are people, at least he can rest and ask for directions, so that it will not be so dark.
Hundreds of meters of mountains, it is not easy to climb up, if there is no Xiaobai in, I am afraid that I may not be able to walk up for a few days, because this is a real primeval forest, there is no road at all, the cliff is steep, but it is much better to have Xiaobai in the body, Xiaobai's body is long, this kind of mountain road it swims up like flat ground, relying on Xiaobai to drag them up slowly, Rao is like this, the clothes on the two of them have also suffered, almost out of shape, scratched sparsely, Qiubai climbed the mountain when the shoes are off, In the end, Xiaobai went down again and picked up the shoes.
The two of them, who were out of breath, finally climbed up, looked down, and it was dark underneath, and they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Fortunately, there are no snakes and insects, otherwise we would have to hang up here this big night."
"It's strange if there are Xiaobai and there are snakes and insects, let's go."
The place where there is a light over there should be a wooden house, the wooden house is not big, it seems that there should be no one, Qiubai began to shout a few times in the distance, no one answered, and when he got closer, a lonely wooden house stood there, and it was indeed a wooden house with no one.
"Then this is the forest house, the house built by the forest ranger so that he can rest." Xu Bo thought for a while and guessed.
"Whatever it is, let's go inside."
Push open some rotten wooden doors, there are twenty square meters inside, unobstructed, the furnishings are quite simple, just a bed, covered with grass, there is a light bulb on the top, emitting a dim light, except for these, there is nothing else in the house, not even dust, because this wooden house is ventilated, and the wind blows up from the leaky wooden wall, which makes the two shiver.
Now it's December, the temperature in Nanchuan is high again, and the two of them started to go underground, and they didn't think so much about it at all, so it was just a single coat and a coat, and now when they go to Wushan, the temperature is low again, and they don't feel cold when they have been walking and moving just now, but now they can't.
"To. . . Over here... Stay overnight? Xu Bo hugged his body tightly and kept stomping his feet.
"What's going on? It should be almost dawn, so just stay for a while. Qiubai was also helpless, he was also cold, and his body was not iron-beaten.
"Then I'll go out for activities, and I'll die of cold if I stay here." Xu Bo walked out again.
Qiubai sat in **, first shook out the sand in his shoes, and when he took off his shoes, he saw that his feet were almost blistered, and he hadn't walked such a long way now.
"Boss Lin, there are cables here."
"What cable?"
"Cable for the cable car."
"Is there a cable car?"
"Nope."
"Then you talk."
Like this kind of passage between the mountains is generally with a cable car, erected between the two mountains, there is no Nanchuan there, but there is a place in Shudi, that is, the mountain city, the cable car passes between the two mountains, transporting goods and livestock, if you are timid, you really dare not look down, some cable cars are more than 1,000 meters high, extremely scary.
Qiubai sat for a while, and also felt that his body was cold, the pangolin was nothing, he found a corner and lay there, it could sleep anywhere, Bajin was still eating grass outside, it had been hungry for several days, this time it was ready to eat a full meal, Xiaobai followed Qiubai, it was also a little sleepy, although snakes are active at night, but Xiaobai is now used to being similar to people, not sleeping during the day, sleeping at night.
Qiubai also came out of the wooden house, and saw Xu Bo stomping his feet and jogging outside, his body kept shaking, and when he saw Qiubai coming out, he smiled bitterly and didn't speak, now Xu Bo wanted to sleep, but he was so cold that he couldn't sleep.
"Hold on any longer, it's almost dawn." Qiubai looked at the sky, he didn't know how to look at the sky, but he intuitively felt that the sky should be about to dawn.
"Rub, I knew I had brought the tent out, but this time I miscalculated, so I brought food." Xu Bo scolded.
Qiubai didn't have the heart to speak, he was so cold that he shivered even if he was jogging.
Ten minutes later, the two couldn't run, and entered the wooden house with a wry smile, and the eight catties also entered the house, and the two squatted on the eight catties of thick wool, smiling relatively bitterly.
"The egg hurts."
"Well, quite."
"Why don't you drill wood to make a fire?"
"Will you?"
"Will you go find some wood and velvet?"
"Xiaobai... What more do you need to find some wood and velvet? ”
"Let's see if we can find smooth pebbles."
Xu Bo made up his mind to come to the field to make a fire, because it was too cold, he was very suspicious that if he stayed like this, he would probably freeze to death, the mountains in winter were very cold, especially in the early morning, and the two of them were not wearing much, even if they didn't freeze to death, it was enough to choke.
Xiaobai swam out of the wooden house, which was relatively energetic and completely unafraid of the cold wind in the mountains.
After more than ten minutes, Xiaobai finally came back, with a bundle of dried velvet grass wrapped around his tail, and a few dried woods, which are not lacking in this mountain.
Xiaobai went again and found a few pebbles, Xu Bo sighed with his mouth and picked up the pebbles.
"Can you do it?"
"It's up to your luck."
Xu Bo smiled bitterly, and when the two pebbles were wiped, the piercing sound sounded, which really made him spark.
"How do you make a fire like that?"
Xu Bo didn't speak, took some velvet grass and pasted it on the top of the pebbles, Qiubai looked at it, and was speechless.
"So it's a matter of luck, I haven't done this before, but when I was learning to survive in the wild, my teacher said that there was a chance to set the velvet grass on fire."
"Please.. Degree. ”
The sound of knocking on the pebbles began to sound, and sparks flew in all directions, but the velvet grass just didn't catch it, and after knocking for a few minutes, Xu Bo stopped panting, tired.
"Your teacher is estimated to have graduated from elementary school, and just knocking out the fire that can knock out hair, Mars is about the same."
"Then you come..."Xu Bo said weakly, the more tired he became, the colder he became, this is the so-called hunger and cold.
Qiubai didn't knock on the pebbles stupidly like Xu Bo, but tried to recall in his mind some of the processes of drilling wood to make fire, dry wood must be there, and then wood must be cut, and then the velvet grass is padded underneath, which can only be made by friction, but to be honest, the probability is quite low, if it is not specially learned and practice makes perfect, ordinary people estimate that they will not be able to drill the fire for a lifetime.
But now Qiubai can only do it hard, in such a cold night, even if you can't get the fire, it's good to find something to do, after all, it is also a kind of exercise, and it is better than staying cold.
Let Xiaobai go out again to find a piece of wood, break it with violence, Qiubai picked a sharper, velvet grass and put it under the wood, let Xu Bo block the wind, and began to drill up desperately.
"It's smoking." After drilling for a few minutes, Xu Bo shouted in surprise: "Work hard." ”
Qiubai was speechless, his hands were sore, but he knew that he couldn't stop, and the temperature cooled down as soon as he stopped.
"I'll wipe it..."Xu Bo yelled, and quickly shut his mouth, afraid of blowing out the new fire, Qiubai didn't care about anything else, carefully added some fluffy grass, watched the fire slowly get bigger, and then added dead branches, the fire finally got bigger.
There are too many trees on the mountain, and now it is winter, everything is withered and yellow, and the dry branches are really how many there are, Qiubai moved the fire outside the house, Xu Bo added firewood to it, and then the raging fire began to burn.
"Ahh It's finally warmer. Xu Bo sniffed, and as soon as the fire burned, it finally dispelled the cold on his body.
Qiu Bai nodded, sat by the fire, and rubbed his sore arm: "It's so lucky, I can actually cause a fire at one time." He looked at Xiaobai again: "Xiaobai also contributed a lot." ”
Xiaobai was suddenly proud, this is the second time Qiubai has praised it.
"Really, I have to bring a lighter when I go out in the future, this time it's too miserable."
"You've never been so miserable before?"
"Before, I carried a tent, shrunk into the tent when it was cold, and a warm sleeping bag, this time it was the worst, worse than I was in the desert."
Qiu Bai rubbed his hands: "It's a pity." ”
"What a pity?"
"It's a pity that I'm with you now, it's so bad for my mood."
"Uh..."Xu Bo had a black line on his head, "This is also what I want to say to you." ”
While the two were talking, Xiao Bai swam out again, and came back after a while, with a snake in his mouth, which was a black snake, more than two meters long, which startled Xu Bo and Qiu Bai.
"What are you going to do?" Qiubai asked Xiaobai.
Xiaobai threw the snake to Qiubai's legs, "Want to roast?" ”
"You eat." Xiaobai wrote a few words, and he was praised by Qiubai just now, so Xiaobai is now attentive.
"Then don't catch a snake, you catch a rabbit or a pheasant or something."
Seeing Xiaobai swimming out, Qiubai shouted behind his back: "If you catch it, go to the river and wash it first, will you disemboweled it?" I'll send it over when I'm done. ”
Xiaobai paused, then nodded.
"Xiaobai is really the overlord of the mountains and forests."
"Xiaobai is not counted, black eyebrows are, if there are black eyebrows, we don't have to suffer this kind of crime at all."
Xu Bo nodded thoughtfully, indeed, the size of the black eyebrows, completely ignoring any forest, Xiaobai is indeed much worse. (To be continued.) )
