16. Drill wood for fire
Su Mo thought about how to make a container for water? A series of tools for holding water, such as wooden barrels, bamboo barrels, and clay pots, and how to make them, keep coming to mind.
There were too many things in his mind, Su Mo felt that his head was about to explode, so he hurriedly shook his head, soothed, and complained silently in his heart, can't this golden finger be smarter? According to my requirements and the current situation, I will automatically extract suggestions, and I will list them all, is this to make me brain dead?
Alas, Su Mo sighed in disgust, she still built her earthen stove first, and then made some kitchenware for eating and drinking soup, ate a good bite of hot food, and finally solved the problem of extracting stone salt, and then pickled all the food she found, she was very busy now, and she couldn't be angry with this golden finger.
Su Mo walked around helplessly, and suddenly found that there were still a lot of weeds in the area in front of the cave, and it was not particularly convenient to walk around, in case a snake suddenly sprang out of the grass, she would definitely be scared half to death, in order to facilitate everyone's activities in front of the cave, and for the sake of her life safety, Su Mo planned to burn them clean with a fire.
With a decision in his heart, he worked neatly, Su Mo asked people to find a few trees of different sizes nearby, which were very hard, not like that kind of rotten wood, and casually pulled some dry weeds.
I wanted to learn from the ancients to drill wood to make fire, but after rubbing for a long time, my hands were red, and the wood didn't react at all.
When Zhu Luo saw it, he followed her example, and it didn't take long for the wood to smoke, Su Mo nodded happily and praised her with a thumbs up, "Zhu Luo, you are really amazing!" "How can primitive people be so smart, just look at it, she is simply embarrassed! It's a shame!
Zhu Luo smiled and said, "I saw the Moon Priest do this before, and I knew that this was 'drilling wood for fire', the Divine Bird Tribe used to have special people to keep the fire, but we fled too much this time, and only a part of the people ...... escaped, and the others who were imprisoned were imprisoned, those who were killed were killed, and those who could surrender all surrendered."
Zhu Luo's voice became smaller and smaller, and he glanced at Su Mo weakly, and seeing that Su Mo was pondering, Zhu Luo immediately changed the topic and said, "Lord Heavenly Maiden, what are you doing with something dangerous like fire?" Are you going to celebrate today? ”
Su Mo knew that Zhu Luo had not finished the second half of her sentence, and she also knew that she suddenly changed the topic because she was afraid that she would be sad, but she didn't say anything, she actually didn't know what to say, she was not the original body, and she had no memory of the original body, and she had no feelings for those people.
But how did this drill wood for fire be invented by the Moon Priest? Wouldn't the priest have crossed over this month? The previous blessing of the gods, the goddess of heaven or something, and now it is this drilling wood for fire? And it was she who Zhu Luo mentioned the most, and it seems that the priest should have crossed over this month, but how could she be imprisoned? Shouldn't she take the position of a celestial maiden to lead and dominate the people? Aren't those who imprisoned her afraid of their mark backlash?
Su Mo felt very strange, what this group of people had said before that they had oath marks on their bodies, which was a manifestation of their loyalty, but didn't those who imprisoned the Moon Priest have oath marks on them? So not afraid of the Moon Priest?
Alas, Zhu Luo told her too little, and she now knew nothing about anything.
Although the Moon Priest was the mother of her body, when Chola talked about the Moon Priest's captivity, she didn't feel the slightest feeling. Su Mo had a headache, it was trouble not to inherit the memory of the original owner, so he shrugged helplessly.
"Celestial Maiden, Celestial Maiden?" Zhu Luo saw that Su Mo was fascinated by what he wanted, and kept shouting.
"Ah, Juro, what did you say?" Su Mo was a little confused, he was too engrossed in thinking just now, and he didn't hear what Zhu Luo was saying.
"Lady Celestial, I said that you use fire, do you want to build a fire today to celebrate the discovery of new food?"
Su Mo was a little puzzled, "Celebrate? Why is drilling wood for fire to celebrate? Couldn't it be used for other purposes? ”
Zhu Luo saw that Su Mo didn't remember at all, he was a little sad and a little happy at the same time, so he explained seriously, "Fire is sacred in the Divine Bird Tribe, in addition to the heavenly fire used for sacrifices and driving away evil spirits, the Moon Priest's drilling wood for fire is used to barbecue and cook food and heat in winter, but only the prescribed people can use fire to warm and barbecue to cook food." ”
Su Mo was surprised, "The prescribed person? You Divine Bird Tribe, no, I mean our Divine Bird Tribe is so strict with fire? Why! ”
"Yes, when I was the age of you, the Celestial Maiden, a fire broke out in the central part of the country, and a large area of forests, bushes, wild beasts, and our people were engulfed in the fire, bringing tragic losses. In the past few decades, the forests in the central part have not recovered much vitality, so we can only continue to fight outside the country and let other tribes provide us with food, so that we can barely support ourselves.
However, this is not a long-term solution, however, the Moon Priest later came up with a new method, that is, to build a trading market in the central part of the country, because the central part is the most convenient place in the Shenzhou Continent, whether it is close to the north, the west or other places. After the market was set up, we had enough food.
This fire alerted all the tribes in the Shenzhou Continent, which made everyone more cautious about the use of fire. ”
Seeing that Su Mo was a little at a loss, Zhu Luo added, "But Lord Tiannu is blessed, and she will definitely be fine." ”
Su Mo smiled awkwardly, "Then what's the celebration you said?" Sacrifice? ”
Zhu Luo smiled, "Different from sacrifices, as long as the tribe has something pleasing to celebrate, as if we found a lot of food today, we can celebrate, only when we celebrate, we can use fire, this is the rule of the Divine Bird Tribe, but the celebration needs to be like the leader to apply, and every celebration must be guarded by a warrior, otherwise the fire will devour us, this is what the Moon Priest said." ”
Su Mo looked at Zhu Luo's serious explanation, and was a little surprised, at first he thought that these people would not drill wood to make fire? Originally, he felt that fire was dangerous, so he didn't use it, but why did the priest say that month to establish his prestige?
Su Mo wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he heard Zhu Luo say again, "However, with the Heavenly Maiden protecting us, the fire will not devour us, we can celebrate every day, eat cooked meat around the fire, cooked meat is delicious, I have also eaten the moon priest's roast, it is really delicious, Heavenly Maiden, you used to eat it every day, but now you may not remember it......" As he spoke, Zhu Luo looked at Su Mo with some sympathy.
Su Mo's scalp was a little numb when he saw it, so he immediately stopped the topic, turned around and went to the predetermined location, preparing to dig a hole to make an earthen stove.
