Chapter 6 Drilling wood for fire

Soon, the woman was carried to the beach by Chen Le, her face was slightly pale, and she was still unconscious.

Li Xin examined it carefully, frowned, and finally could only say helplessly: "Maybe I was too tired and fainted, let's start a fire now and take out the sleeping bag, otherwise it will be troublesome at night." ”

"Hmm!"

Chen Le nodded, checked the supplies, because he was caught in the whirlpool before, most of the materials have been washed away, fortunately, there are still 5 sleeping bags, otherwise he will have to sleep in the open tonight.

The sleeping bag was propped up, and Han Mengchen also put the firewood together and prepared to make a fire.

Only Huang Linlin stayed by the side for a long time, combing her hair, and watching them busy with disgust.

"Brother Chen, do you have a lighter?"

"Lighters?"

Chen Le's heart sank, and the whole person was stunned in place.

"I don't smoke, I never have a lighter in my pocket, don't you either?"

Li Xin and Han Mengchen both shook their heads, while Huang Linlin's eyes were full of contempt.

"Sure enough, it's a dick, I don't even have a lighter, I finally saw a pile of firewood, but in the end it was useless, what a big joke!"

"Enough Huang Linlin, the people who didn't help at all have no right to speak, if you continue to mess around like this, believe it or not, I won't distribute food to you!"

Li Xin's expression was cold, and several chills emanated from his autumn-like pupils.

Huang Linlin shuddered, shocked by Li Xin's cold attitude, snorted coldly, and combed her hair by herself.

At this time, it was obvious that Li Xin was in control of the situation, and if the other party really didn't distribute food to him, he would only be able to starve to death on this desert island.

The sea breeze is howling, blowing from afar, with bursts of fishy smell, the sunset on the horizon is fiery red, the sunset puts away the last rays of sunshine, and the night is gradually coming.

As the night came, Li Xin's eyes couldn't help but show some worry.

"Before night comes, we must make a fire, in the wilderness, there are many insects, ants and beasts, and if there is no flame, these wild animals may take us as prey!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts sank, and their faces were full of worry.

Finally escaped and found this small island, and no one wanted to lose their lives because the flames were not raised.

"If only the previous flare hadn't been lost, we would still be able to ignite with flares!"

Chen Le sighed, but soon, when he noticed the dry firewood, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered the wilderness survival documentary he had watched before.

"By the way, we can drill wood for fire."

"Drill wood for fire?"

Li Xin's eyes also lit up, but he quickly said: "Drilling wood to make fire sounds simple, but in fact, it still requires some skills, are you sure you can start a fire?" ”

"I'm not sure, but I've seen documentaries about this before, so there's a good chance it's okay!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then this matter will be left to you, and a few of us will do it for you!"

Li Xin's eyes were solemn, and he immediately decided that they could not drink raw water and eat raw meat forever, and with the flames, they could not only expel the beasts, but also make cooked food.

After a pile of firewood was prepared, Chen Le carefully selected a few and was relieved to see that the firewood was extremely dry.

He first found some dry grass from the side, and made the dry grass into the shape of a bird's nest, empty in the middle and fluffy on both sides, which was the fire primer.

The flame drilled out of the wood is very small, and if you want to raise the fire, you must have the help of the fire primer.

When the fire primer was ready, he picked out the driest firewood and used his axe to cut a gap in the firewood, just enough to fit a stick.

Then he put some dry bark in the gap and found a slender stick

The bark of the tree is quite dry, and the wooden stick has a lot of friction when it rotates with it, making it easier to produce flames.

Chen Le placed the wooden stick in the gap, the lower end facing the bark, and the palm of his hand rotated slightly.

Everyone watched Chen Le busy with his work, their eyes full of anticipation, expecting Chen Le to be able to bring this flame to life.

Soon, about four or five minutes later, wisps of smoke began to rise from the gaps in the firewood, and under the violent friction, the bark inside was almost ground into powder, and it was now ignited.

Chen Le did not stop, and continued to spin, the fireworks were small at first, then they became bigger and bigger, and even splashed sparks in the end.

Chen Le stopped, picked up the firewood in his hand and walked to the fire primer, and poured the bark powder in the gap into it.

Smoke also began to come out of the fire primer, and Chen Le blew lightly beside him, and after a while, the flames burned from it.

Add firewood, make a fire, and as the last rays of sunlight are put away, night comes, and a flame lights up on the dark sand, tearing through the darkness.

After the flame rose, Chen Lechang breathed a sigh of relief, he had only watched the video of drilling wood to make fire, and he had never experimented with it, while Han Mengchen next to him looked at him with adoring eyes.

"Brother Chen, why are you so powerful, you even drill wood to make fire!"

"It's also a fluke, I like to watch some messy books and TV on weekdays, I didn't expect it to come in handy, you take care of the flames, don't let the fire go out!"

"Uh-huh!"

After about half an hour, the flames were blazing and the surroundings were warm.

Li Xin and Huang Linlin also walked out of the woods, and when Chen Le lit a fire before, the two went to the forest to talk, probably Huang Linlin apologized to Li Xin.

When the two came back, they occasionally talked and laughed, and the relationship eased somewhat, but for some reason, Chen Le always felt that Li Xin looked at him strangely, and he didn't know what Huang Linlin said to her.

The night was shrouded, and everyone sat around the flames, each with their own thoughts.

The fresh water they had taken was enough to drink for a day, but the food was very insufficient, and after they carried the unconscious woman back, they also searched the woman's body, and only found four packets of compressed biscuits, which had long been tattered, but barely edible.

At Chen Le's suggestion, Li Xin divided the four packets of biscuits into eight portions for two days, each person only ate one per day, and the one that was destined for the unconscious woman would wait until she woke up.

The night was dark, everyone drank some water, ate some biscuits, and in order to conserve their strength, they no longer chatted, and each went into their own sleeping bags.

Chen Le was still hungry, but he endured it and didn't dare to eat more.

At this time, survival is the first element, and the remaining cookies are the basis for his survival in the next few days, and they must not be wasted.
