Chapter 184: Make a Fire
The torrential rain seemed to stop in the early hours of the morning, but the wind was still strong.
Ren Bufan and Su Tian couldn't sleep at all.
Thankfully, it's summer, so at least the temperature isn't too low.
The survival suit barely protects some of the heat, making it not go by as quickly.
Hugging each other and shivering all night, waiting for a glimmer of light to appear, finally seeing hope.
"Tiantian, you rest here!" Ren Bufan took off his life jacket and put it on her, "I'll go and see what resources can be used here." ”
"Hmm!" Su Tian's lips were already purple, and her voice was a little weak.
Ren Bufan is a seventh-level fitness skill, and his physique is much stronger than that of a normal person. She was just a weak girl, and it was really painful to be frozen all night.
Of course Ren Bufan knew this, and now he could barely see her face, and he also knew that she had to recover her body temperature as soon as possible.
Quickly disembark and check around, and found a few dwarf coconut trees nearby.
Quickly run over and search, and find three green coconuts in the tree. At the same time, two ripe and fallen coconuts were also found in the grass under the trees.
Quickly took off the cyan coconut, took off the swimsuit jacket and wrapped the five coconuts, and quickly brought them back to the pedal boat: "Tiantian, there are coconuts! I'll open one first, you drink a little." ”
As he spoke, he looked around, found a large rock on the beach, ran over with one of the coconuts, and smashed it down on the edge of the stone.
After a lot of effort, it finally broke open, and the clear coconut juice flowed out inside.
Hurriedly ran back to the pedal boat, reached out to help Su Tian, and brought the coconut to her mouth.
Su Tian opened his mouth and drank a few sips, coughed, and said softly, "You drink too." ”
"Well, you've had enough to drink first. Ren Bufan said softly.
When she said she didn't want to, she took the rest to her mouth and drank the rest.
"The fiber in this coconut is very dry and can be used to light a fire. Ren Bufan began to process the finished coconut, "I'll dig out the flesh inside, and you eat it." I'll light a fire as soon as possible to keep the two of us warm. I'll get you some herbs and boil them in a coconut shell to make you feel better. ”
"Hmm!" Su Tian was still shivering now, plus he hadn't slept all night, he ate the coconut meat handed over by Ren Bufan, and lay in the boat coughing constantly.
You must let yourself and Su Tian recover their body temperature as soon as possible, and at the same time cook herbs for her to drink.
So the first task at the moment is to make a fire.
Level 5 wilderness survival knowledge has made him understand a lot. In addition, it is easy to adapt to the fact that it is a rural child.
The island is wooded, and at the moment the pedal boat is docked more than ten meters away from the beach, which is the junction of sand and woods.
With his level 8 knowledge of Chinese medicine, it is easy to find herbs to treat Su Tian.
The dried fibers inside the coconut shell are the best material for ignition, and it is a very practical velvet.
What is needed now is dry twigs to drill wood for fire, and firewood to increase the fire.
It's just that after a night of heavy rain, it is not easy to find such materials, so you can only go to the forest, where the trees are more dense.
Under the dense foliage, there must be some dry tea that is not soaked, or just a little bit of dead wood on the surface.
Sure enough, there were some dead trees in the forest that had been dead for a long time, and although the surface was drenched by the rain, the inside was unaffected.
Thanks to the leaves held up like an umbrella overhead.
Ren Bufan dragged out the dead wood he found one by one and threw them all near the pedal boat.
Firewood is sufficient, but at the moment I have not found any materials that can be used to drill wood for fire.
Entering the forest again and searching around, countless birds and finches flew overhead, chirping non-stop.
It is not easy to find the right material for drilling wood for fire in this humid environment.
But unexpectedly, he picked up a few pieces of white quartz.
This quartz stone was often picked up at the cement factory when I was a child, and sparks would emerge when the two pieces were knocked together.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and ran back to the pedal boat with the rock.
The dried fibers from the coconut shell are placed on the surface of one of the quartz stones, and then the other piece is directly tapped.
With a slight impact, a spark flies out and keeps falling on the fibers that are dry.
Hearing the sound of tapping stones in her ears, Su Tian struggled to do it: "What are you doing?"
"Don't move, I'll try to make a fire. Ren Bufan said, his hands kept moving.
"Do you use stones to make a fire?" Su Tian was a little surprised.
"Well, don't move, wait until I make a fire before you get up. "Ren Bufan is focused on making Mars.
Although the coconut shell fiber is dry, the two quartz stones are relatively wet, so the moisture enters the coconut shell fiber very quickly, and it is not easy to make a successful fire.
Ren Bufan tried five or six times, but still didn't succeed.
So I simply took the coconut shell fiber and wiped the quartz stone for tapping, let it dry a little, and then hit it again.
After trying this for more than an hour, just as he was about to run out of patience and give up, Mars finally survived in the fibers and began to burn.
Ren Bufan was overjoyed, carefully holding the smoking fibers, and swaying back and forth very gently like a baby.
The flame of "Hu ——!" finally succeeded in appearing and burned instantly.
It's on fire!
He excitedly took more coconut shell fibers to increase the fire, and at the same time put in a few relatively dry twigs, with coconut shell fibers to continuously put in, little by little the fire was completely lit. After that, a larger number of dead branches and leaves were thrown in, and finally a beautiful fire was made.
In order to ensure the safety of the fire, I quickly went to the vicinity and picked up some large rocks and arranged them in a circle around them.
"Tiantian, there's a fire! we have a fire!" he called Su Tian up and led her to sit down by the fire, "You bake the fire here first, and I'll boil the herbs." ”
"Hmm!" Sitting by the fire, feeling the warmth coming to her face, Su Tian's face looked a little better, but she was still trembling.
Ren Bufan used a coconut shell as a bowl, smashed another coconut, used coconut water instead of water, and put herbs in it.
There's no way, I haven't found fresh water yet, so I can't use seawater to boil medicine.
There was nothing to catch water even after it rained last night.
Fortunately, he can confirm that the medicinal properties of these Chinese medicines will not conflict with coconut water, otherwise he would not dare to do so.
After cooking, take a branch and carefully pour the medicinal juice into the other half of the intact coconut shell, and let Su Tian drink it while it is hot.
After drinking the potion, Su Tian's face was slightly better than just now, he sat by the fire to keep warm, and turned his head to look at Ren Bufan, his eyes were full of admiration.
It's really amazing to be able to make a fire in this situation!
With fire, there is hope.
There are many Soochow Islands, and they are relatively separated, and it is not so easy for rescue teams to find them. But it's not the same with fire, as long as the weather improves, the smoke can be seen from a distance.
"Tiantian, we didn't know how far we were pushed by the wind and waves yesterday. Ren Bufan was also warming up by the fire, turned his head and said softly, "I don't know if the rescue team can find us successfully today." Let's see what we have on our bodies to see if it can help us survive better. I have a cell phone, but it's over! What about you?"
"I'm just a bag of candy. Su Tian reached into his arms and carefully took it out, "I've already eaten half of it, and now there are only about seven or eight left." ”
This candy was bought by Ren Bufan, because Su Tian had hypoglycemia, and every once in a while he bought a pack for her.
"Here!" Su Tian took out a candy and handed it over.
"Ah~" Ren Bufan didn't pick it up with his hands, but opened his mouth directly.
Su Tian hesitated and put it in his mouth. However, the moment his finger touched his lips, he immediately retracted with a red face.
"It's so sweet!" Ren Bufan made a pun on his words and winked at her with a grin.
His eyes fell on Su Tian's head and he stretched out his hand: "How is the elasticity of this head rope?"
"Huh?" Su Tian was stunned, but he still let him untie the head rope he used to tie the whip, and his long hair instantly fell apart.
"Huh! elasticity can be used!" Ren Bufan pulled a few times, "It can be used to make a slingshot." ”
"Really?" asked Su Tian, "How?"
"It's simple, I'll get it out in a moment. There are a lot of birds on this island, and if you're lucky, you can catch a few. Ren Bufan was a little excited.
"How can you do anything?" Su Tian looked at him with adoration on his face, "It's amazing!"
"So you can rest assured!" Ren Bufan smiled, "I will definitely take you home safely!"
"Hmm!" Hearing him say this, Su Tian's heart was warm and he felt very secure.
"Look at the weather, it's still likely to rain!" Ren Bufan looked up at the sky, "In case the rescue team can't come today, we can't continue to freeze in the boat overnight, right?"
"What should I do then?" asked Su Tian.
"Don't worry, everything has me!" Ren Bufan thought carefully, and then said, "We now have fire, coconut, and there is no shortage of food and water for the time being." What's more, there are these candies, which can last some time. Before it rains, I build a simple hut that will protect us from the wind and rain and protect the fire. ”
"Then what am I going to do?" asked Su Tian.
"Your task is to have a good rest, don't fall ill!" Ren Bufan said, "Didn't you say it just now?
"Oh!" It feels good that someone can rely on, although he is in trouble, he doesn't know if he can go home safely, but looking at his face, Su Tian showed a reassuring smile.
"There's firewood I've collected here, and I'm putting it aside for the time being to bake. If the fire goes down for a while, you throw a few sticks into it a little. Ren Bufan commanded, "Then rest peacefully by the fire." ”
"Hmm!"
"I went to gather materials for the construction of the hut and saw if I could find some useful resources by the way. "Be careful of your surroundings, and if you see snakes or other dangerous insects, don't panic, and immediately call out to me?"
"Hmm!" Su Tian nodded slightly, "Be careful yourself!"
