Chapter 3 Drilling wood for fire

"Chief? Didn't you say to go and see the people? ”

"I'll talk about it later, I just remembered that the chief has something to look for you."

Ye Feng: "Uh, okay"

Ye Feng followed Heru to the bottom of the cave, on the way only met a few skinny children, did not see the old man, but think about it, the rarity of the old man in this year is comparable to the giant panda in later generations, the average life expectancy of human beings during this period is twenty to thirty years old, due to poor food, half hungry and half full, coupled with natural disasters, scorching heat and cold, the invasion of poisonous snakes and beasts, as well as the ravages of diseases and infectious diseases, the short life is conceivable.

Ye Feng saw Heru squeeze into a gap where only one person was allowed to enter sideways, and said in surprise: "Fuck! Secret Passages! Could it be that there is a dusty Elder Scroll inside, waiting for me, a suave boy, to open it? Although Heru didn't know what the second middle school boy was talking about, he still explained: "Inside is where the clansmen sleep. After speaking, he got in, and Ye Feng followed.

Squeezing through the narrow gap, the space in front of me suddenly opened up, I didn't expect this inner hole to be so big, the light of an inner hole like this would have been very dark, but it was very bright here. There was hay on the ground, covered with animal skins, which presumably were the bunks of the clansmen. Ye Feng looked up and saw that there was a skylight with a diameter of two meters at the top of the cave, and the light was put in from there.

There is a flat wall inside the cave, and strange symbols are painted on the wall. There was a person standing under the wall, this person was tall, his muscles bulging as if they were about to explode, he turned his back to Ye Feng and them, and looked up at the symbols on the wall, full of style.

Heru pointed to the man and said, "This man is our chief." After speaking, he said to the man: "Taba, our guest is here, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do." After saying that, he strode away.

Ye Feng admired in his heart, he was still a primitive person with a straightforward personality, if he was put in the future generations and called him by his name in front of the leader, hehe, then wait to wear small shoes!

Duoye turned around, smiled at Ye Feng and said, "What's your name." ”

"My name is Ye Feng, please take care of me," Ye Feng said without humility or arrogance. Taba nodded and asked, "Are you willing to join our tribe?" ”

Ye Feng smiled bitterly, he had traveled from the twenty-first century to the primitive and barbaric era, helpless, without these people, he might have been eaten by the saber-toothed tiger and there was no scum left, did he have any extra options except to choose to join himself, so he could only nod his head and indicate that he had joined.

Then Duoye introduced the tribe endlessly, Ye Feng understood more and more about the situation of the tribe: the tribe is called Xingyue Tribe, which migrated from a big tribe, as for which big tribe Duoye didn't say, Ye Feng didn't ask, he knew that Duoye must have his own considerations if he didn't say it, anyway, he would know in the future. The tribe has a population of 71 people, including 32 adult men, 25 women, 10 children and 4 disabled people...... I don't know how long Duoye has been talking, Ye Feng is hungry again, although the fruit is delicious, but how can he stand hungry, seeing that Duoye is going to continue, he hurriedly said: "Chief, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

Duoye was stunned for a moment, and said: "Why, didn't Heru give you food" Ye Feng hurriedly replied: "Given, the meat is raw, I didn't eat it." ”

"Can't you eat it raw?" Taba said with a frown.

"Can't! Anyway, I only eat cooked. Ye Feng played a scoundrel.

"There's no fire, what's love," Taba rolled his eyes.

"Cut! Isn't there just no fire, what a big deal, look at how the master makes the fire! ”

Looking at Ye Feng's confident words, Duoye was stunned and said, "Can you really make fire?" ”。“ Uh-huh, please watch me do this, and you will realize what the power of knowledge is. Ye Feng held his hands behind his back, his head tilted at 45 degrees, and the pride of being a traverser in his heart spontaneously.

The two walked out of the cave, Ye Feng saw that there was a small open space outside the cave, many people were busy, only those few children were playing and playing, and it was very lively.

Ye Feng planned to use drilling wood for fire to make fire, and the principle of drilling wood for fire was very simple, and it was generated according to the principle of friction and heat. The wood itself is relatively rough, and when rubbed, the friction is large and generates heat, and the wood itself is flammable, so it will cause fire.

Ye Feng asked Duoye to find suitable wood to make drill boards, and dry poplars, willows, etc. would be a good choice because their materials were softer. Then find a suitable branch to make a drill bit, which is harder than the drill plate, and the conditions are not as harsh as the drill plate. Then, drill a small groove out of the edge of the drill plate with a stone tool, and then rub it vigorously with both hands until the fire is drilled.

Easier said than done, Ye Feng buried his head in rubbing the wooden stick, after 10 minutes, there was no response, after 20 minutes, there was no response, Ye Feng threw the wooden stick angrily, and planned to give up.

As soon as he raised his head, he was startled, all the clansmen in the original open space were gone, hearing that Ye Feng was going to make a fire, Hulala surrounded him in three layers and three layers outside, and there were children who looked at him intently with snot, and the most eye-catching thing was that Heru tilted his head and looked at Ye Feng with a cute and curious baby expression, which made Ye Feng extremely embarrassed.

Being watched by everyone, Ye Feng couldn't continue to strike, he picked up the wooden stick and thought about what he had gone wrong. After thinking about it for a while, he realized the mistake he had made, he didn't put a fire starter under the stick! But there was nothing for him to ignite the fire at the moment, Ye Feng raised his eyes and looked around, and said to the most dazzling Heru with a harmless face: "Heru, come over here"

When Heru heard that he was calling himself, although he didn't understand what Ye Feng was going to do, he still walked over.

Ye Feng didn't raise his head, and casually tore off a few handfuls of hair from the animal skin on Heru's waist, and finally floated out a sentence: "Well, you can go"

"Well, you can go!" This sentence was like a heavy punch to Heru's heart, and he felt that he had suffered 10,000 points of damage, and he had the heart to vomit blood. Nima's, you called me over just to pull my hair, woo, where is the festival, where is the festival, Heru looked at the bald animal skin, and wanted to cry without tears.

Ye Feng didn't have time to care about Heru's feelings now, because he suddenly remembered a way in which he cooperated in a certain exploration program to drill wood to make fire: one person used a wooden block with grooves to fix the wooden stick on the drill board, so that one end of the wooden stick was in the small groove of the drill board, and the other end was in the groove of the wood block, and the other person pressed the wood vertically with both hands, while the other person used a rattan with high friction to wrap a few turns on the wooden stick, and then quickly pulled back and forth until the fire was formed.

Since it was a cooperative work between the two, Ye Feng was obviously not able to do it alone, so he casually pointed to a clansman: "You, that's right, it's you, come here." ”

The clansman walked towards Ye Feng without thinking about it, and suddenly his steps faltered, and when he saw Heru holding the animal skin with a sad expression, and looked at his brand new animal skin, he involuntarily stopped.

Seeing that no one had come for a long time, Ye Feng urged: "Hurry up for me, it's still not a man!" ”

The man listened to Ye Feng's words to this point, how could he bear it, but he really couldn't bear his animal skin, his eyes rolled, and he thought about it.
