109, drill wood for fire

Finally out of the Death Swamp, Yueyue and the others came to the foot of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there was a large rock protruding like the bow of a big ship, and from a distance, it looked like the big mouth of an eagle. The sisters were tired and hungry, Yueyue untied the satchel, and the big yellow eel slipped back to her hometown at some point, and there were only fifteen big loaches in the bag, and the loaches were very large, each weighing three or two.

"Whoever has matches, I'll roast loaches for you to eat, hehe", Yueyue picked up some dead branches and leaves under the big stone. Everyone looked at each other, only Xiao Zheng took out half a box of rotten matches, Yueyue tried for a long time, but none of them lit, because the matches and boxes were wet in the rain, and the match heads and boxes were rotten when they touched them. "Damn, why are you so unlucky, you can't light a single one", Yueyue angrily threw the remaining matchbox on the ground, eager to step on it again. Xiao Zheng immediately ran over and picked up the matchbox on the ground and said, "Yueyue, I have a solution, are you willing to try it?" ”

Yueyue's eyes lit up, she slapped Xiao Zheng on the shoulder, and said eagerly: "Die Xiao Zheng, is there any way to tell my aunt and grandmother quickly, I'm in a hurry." "Yueyue, do you remember when our ancestors used drilled wood to make fire? I'll try it and get you tinder, hehe", Xiao Zheng said confidently. "But where did you get the iron rod?" Yueyue looked dazed. "It's okay not to have an iron rod, hehe, Yueyue, do you have a cotton tire?" "Yes, yes, I'll get it for you", Yueyue finished speaking, she opened a corner of her little quilt, took out a little dry cotton, and handed it to Xiao Zheng, she looked at Xiao Zheng suspiciously.

Xiao Zheng divided the cotton handed over by Yueyue into two halves, half of it was loose, and half of it was rolled into long strips, he rubbed the cotton strips hard, the rhythm became faster and faster, and Yueyue already smelled the smell of burning. Xiao Zheng stopped his hands and gently blew the cotton in his hand with his mouth, and the cotton pierced through the fire and caught fire. When Xiao Zheng just wanted to use it to ignite the loose half of the cotton, the spark was extinguished again. He sighed, but Yueyue came to the spirit, she encouraged Xiao Zheng and said: "Hehe, keep going, Xiao Zheng, don't be discouraged, failure is a successful mother, come, come again".

Yueyue took some cotton and gave it to Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng took a breath, as he concocted, he was faster than the rhythm just now, and after a while, he lit the loose cotton ball. He carefully took the fire to the branch erected by Yueyue, lit the branch, and the branch "crackled". Yueyue clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Zheng is really great, I'll give you one more roasted loach later, hehe, hero."

Li Lan walked over to Yueyue and said, "Yueyue, let's bake half of this loach and cook half of it in soup, there is a small spring here, I'll go get some spring water." "Okay, okay, Sister Li Lan, this can also quench your thirst" Yueyue looked excited. The sisters acted together, catching spring water and picking up branches, and everyone was busy for a while. The air began to be filled with the smell of roasted loaches, and the loach soup in the steel helmet was steaming, and the white soup was as delicious as milk. The fire reflected the sisters' faces red, and everyone's hearts were a little warm. No matter what happens tomorrow, let's get through it today.

After eating something, everyone was refreshed. Yueyue instructed: "Xiao Zheng, you go to the side to rest, by the way, give us girls a sentry, we have to sleep well tonight." It is a very rare place, the protruding rocks shelter the rain and dew, and the place against the cliff wall is high, and the ground is outside, so it is rare to be dry inside. Xiao Zheng is happy to obey Yueyue's arrangement, although it is a very difficult environment, but it is always a pleasant thing to be with the girls. Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Yueyue, you can sleep with confidence, if there is really a wolf coming, I promise to let it eat me first, and it is gnawing on our Yueyue, halu ha."

"Dead Xiao Zheng, close your crow's mouth, keep a good sentry, aunt and grandmother are sleeping, hehe", the four sisters lay down against the cliff, because the fire was burning, so the beasts and mosquitoes did not dare to infestation. But Yueyue was very excited, she made a dinner for several big sisters for the first time, and she couldn't sleep happily all of a sudden. She rolled over and said, "Sister Xiaochun, are you asleep?" "No", Xiaochun remembered the safety of her brother and Hao Ruoxia, and she didn't feel sleepy. Since Min Min tasted the herbs, she didn't know what kind of herbs she had eaten, and the illness in her lower body seemed to have improved a lot, and she didn't fall asleep. Li Lan felt that Yueyue and Xiao Zheng were a very suitable pair, she spoke first and said: "Yueyue, I can't sleep, just let you and Xiao Zheng worship to marry, I think the two of you are quite suitable, hehe."

"Sister Li Lan, don't make trouble, I'll tell you a story, I listened to my grandfather when I was a child, it's a very interesting story." No one agreed, only Xiao Zheng came over and said, "What a story, let me hear it too." Xiao Zheng just heard Sister Li Lan's words, and his heart moved. "Dead Xiao Zheng, go aside, and keep a good sentry." Xiao Zheng left stupidly, and Yueyue's story began:

"In ancient times, there was a general named Han Xin, whose family was poor when he was a child, and when he was very young, he herded cattle for the rich man's family. This person is very angry, there was a famine that year, more than a dozen friends came to the place where he herded cattle, these little guys have been hungry for several days, so the eldest child proposed to kill the rich man's buffalo, Han Xin was also very hungry, so there was no objection, and assisted their little friends.

The dozen or so children came prepared, tied the buffalo to all four feet, and in less than an hour the buffalo meat was roasted on the fire. This is a dozen children who have a lot of food, a buffalo of more than 1,000 catties, and after seven or eight days, only a tail and a pile of bones remain. The housekeeper of the rich man's house saw that Han Xin's buffalo herding sheep had not entered the cowshed for several days, so he slowly found it. Han Xin panicked, but the bull-headed guy said unhurriedly: "Lord Butler, Han Xin's cow has gone into the hole, so call a few of our friends to help him, we have little strength, or you can try it." The butler was skeptical, thinking to himself, it is impossible for such a big cow to disappear without a trace for a long time, but the hole is so small, how can a buffalo get into it? But the tail of the buffalo is indeed a hole.

The ox's tail had been firmly tied to the hole, and the butler pulled the ox's tail hard, but it didn't move, and with more force, it fell down on all fours......

Yueyue laughed stupidly for a while, seeing that no one responded, she saw that everyone was asleep, and there was a soft snoring from Xiao Zheng's side. Yueyue's story is like a lullaby, she wonders, what kind of situation will she encounter tomorrow? What can you eat tomorrow morning?
