Chapter 8 Burning Objects
Looking up at the gap in the dense forest, it was early morning and the sun was not very sufficient, Wang Dahai put the fish in the open space of the stone, sat down, and was ready to think about how to get the fire.
As he thought about it, he picked up the stones under his feet and kept tapping on the rocks where he was sitting, hoping to find a suitable flint.
In this kind of carelessness, Wang Dahai tried one piece after another, but he didn't find a suitable one.
He used his small hand to throw the stone on the other side of his body, and then picked up the next one to test.
As the stones kept flying, time passed minute by minute, and his patience was about to be exhausted, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart.
Just when he was about to give up, his little hand picked up a stone in front of him at a time, and when he saw this strange rock, his eyes couldn't help but light up, this rock was dense yellow-brown, and the section was very neat and sharp.
He played with it for a while, and saw that there was a yellow-brown rock not far away, and looking at the traces of the section, these two should have fallen from the same stone.
Wang Dahai stood up, picked up the same rock not far away, and struck the two sections against each other, only to see sparks flying!
"Could this be the legendary flint?"
Boss Wang secretly guessed that in fact, he had never seen a real flint, but through the reactions of these two stones, he could roughly estimate it.
Flint is mostly found in limestone, generally only five to fifteen centimeters, and the largest ones are one or two meters, and now the piece in his hand belongs to the normal slightly larger one.
Boss Wang's self-confidence is extremely inflated at the moment, and he thinks proudly in his heart!
"! Am I really wearing a pig's foot halo?
So easy to find flint?
Now that the flint is already there.
So will grilled fish still be far away? ”
Wang Dahai trotted into the taiga, his steps were much brisker at the moment, looking for fireworks, dry firewood, and venues, as long as he made all the preparations, he would immediately make a fire, he was already a little impatient.
Back in the taiga, the fish-clad rattan is knotted and hung from a tree, and then a series of preparations begin.
Dry fallen leaves on the ground and bark on conifers are excellent starters, but although these large trees fell due to earthquakes, they were too short for a short time and a lot of water gathered in them to be unsuitable for burning.
In search of suitable dry firewood, he wandered around the woods. There were some dry branches on the tree, and he climbed up and down with great difficulty, and the most stumbling was not only on his body, but also on his fingers.
But these small scars can't stop Boss Wang's enthusiasm, thinking that he will be able to eat grilled fish in a while, at this moment he seems to have endless strength all over his body.
With Wang Dahai's continuous efforts, he finally collected a large amount of dry firewood, most of which were dead leaves and branches, and a few were from other tree species.
No matter what method is used to make a fire in the wild, the first thing to do is to prepare the fire starter, weeds in the forest, fallen leaves, birds' nests, rat nests, dried fruits of coniferous pine, resin of pine trees, feathers, dried animal manure and cloth, cotton, etc.
Wang Dahai put away the dry wood and leaves, and then went to the forest to find a suitable site.
To make fire in the woods, Wang Dahai would never dare. In the event of a fire, it is a trivial matter to have no place to live, but if you set yourself on fire, it will be too much of a deal.
Compared with finding dry firewood, it is still easier to choose the right site. Wang Dahai walked around the woods for a short time before finding a suitable place.
It is a gravel area, surrounded on three sides by conifers, and there is a small waterhole not far away, and it is not small enough to easily isolate a firebreak.
There were a lot of large and small gravels on the ground, and there was nothing but some weeds with extremely tenacious vitality, and even the common bushes were just a few scattered trees that grew close to the coniferous forest, and they did not want to go near here.
After determining the site, Wang Dahai returned to the forest and brought the dry firewood and leaves he had collected. There was a lot of dry firewood, and he was a child at the moment and it took more than a dozen times to run back and forth before he could finish holding it all.
I found a flat place, put the leaves first, and then lightly put some small branches in the dry firewood on it, especially some dry grass and dead leaves were put at the bottom by Wang Dahai. Then a larger branch was placed on top of it, and a simple campfire was set up.
In Wang Dahai's eyes, a blazing bonfire was slowly burning, burning more and more; The grilled fish exudes an enticing aroma that is mouth-watering.
Squatting in front of the reserved ignition opening, he took out two flints and struck them hard, only to see sparks splashing everywhere, and the flying sparks hit the dead grass, but it was like a drop of cold oil dripping from boiling water, and there was no reaction.
"Could it be that my approach is wrong?
Shouldn't it? ”
Looking at the dead leaves that didn't react at all, Wang Dahai was confused for a while.
"Are the leaves still damp?"
Wang Dahai couldn't help but think in his heart.
He touched the leaves with his immature little hands, and felt that they were a little damp.
Fallen leaves in the forest are generally converted into nutrients, and the ground in the forest is always moist due to the lack of sunlight all year round, especially here where the sea is very humid, and it is difficult to completely dry the dead grass.
Wang Dahai looked at the ignition in front of him and shook his head, his young body stood up again, and ran towards the place where the sun could shine without looking back.
But not long after, Wang Dahai's figure reappeared in the clearing, his expression was a little depressed, and he returned empty-handed, because the sunlight in late spring was not very bursting, he turned around and basically found that all the places were similar to the situation here.
"What now?"
He crouched down by the wood again, looking at the ignition in front of him and worrying.
If you don't have a suitable fire, it means that you can't make a fire, and if you can't make a fire, you must continue to live a savage life.
Banyu stood up and walked like a big rock with the firewood in front of him, and he wanted to put the collected firewood and dead leaves on the rock to dry.
Since there are no suitable conditions, then create it yourself, the living can still suffocate urine, he still doesn't believe it, he has to worry about eating since he came back to life!
