Chapter 151: Drilling wood for fire

This cave is located on a platform four or five meters high on the cliff, at the junction of the two cliffs, a crack from the hole to the top of the mountain, the crack and the hole are overgrown with weeds, the hole is very small, if you don't pay attention to it, you will definitely find it.

Li Chaoyang climbed up quickly like a monkey, and the platform was very narrow and could only accommodate one person to pass sideways.

The entrance to the cave is very small, the direction is the same as the crack, the top is narrow and the bottom is wide, the widest position is about more than one meter, the cat can almost get into it with his waist, Li Chaoyang picked up a stone and threw it into the cave, according to the echo, it was roughly judged that the cave was at least seven or eight meters deep, some sunlight shone through the crack in the cave, the ground was dry and flat, and there were some bird droppings and rodent footprints on the ground, which should be left by mice and other things.

The terrain is high enough and the platform is narrow enough that a slightly larger beast will definitely not be able to get through, as long as the hole is hidden a little, it is an ideal place to live. Even if an enemy comes, no one will want to come up while guarding the entrance of the cave, and you can even shoot enemies from nearby mountains and forests or even the coastline on the platform.

After so many hardships and hardships, the heavens finally favored Li Chaoyang once, and he excitedly told Tong Fei the news. Tong Fei was also very happy when she learned about it, and finally didn't have to sleep in the wild tonight.

However, one of her shoes is missing a heel, which is very inconvenient, and she can't climb up at all, Li Chaoyang had to pull her up with vines, looking at the vines hanging on the cliff, Li Chaoyang immediately had an idea, these vines with quite good flexibility can be used to make rattan ladders, rattan chairs, hammocks, and even fishing nets.

But this is all for later, the top priority at the moment is to make a fire to dry the clothes, otherwise they will get sick sooner or later in wet clothes, and they urgently need a good rest after running for a long time. Their current location is in the southern hemisphere, and it is winter in the southern hemisphere at the moment, which is much cooler than on a cruise ship, and wet clothes will absorb a lot of heat and breed bacteria, and even colds, so it is particularly important to dry clothes.

Li Chaoyang instructed Tong Fei to hide at the entrance of the cave first, shout loudly if there was anything, shoot back if it really didn't work, and before leaving, he showed Tong Fei again how to get insurance and how to aim.

The island was full of trees and there was no shortage of firewood, so Li Chaoyang quickly found a dead branch that was the thickness of his arm's length nearby, broke it and found some dry thatch to bring back to the cave.

The sunlight in the cave can only illuminate a small part of the front, and the back is still pitch black, and it is not excluded that animals such as bats and mice live inside, and torches have become the most important thing.

Li Chaoyang used a dagger to split the wooden stick into firewood, scraped some sawdust and thatch to clamp on the firewood, and then made a wooden bow out of vines and branches, the bowstring was wrapped around a dry wooden stick, and the bowstring wooden stick would rotate quickly when he pulled it.

This is an evolved version of drilling wood for fire, which works similarly to a wooden bow bow saw tree, and the work efficiency is several times faster than that of bare hands, and it is more time-saving and labor-saving.

"Is this okay?" Tong Fei asked.

"If you can't try it, you'll know, and take me as the upper hand."

Li Chaoyang moved the firewood to the entrance of the cave, Tong Fei squatted in front of the cave to block the entrance, her clothes were soaked with sweat, such a squatting body clothes completely fit the body, the contours of the body were unprecedentedly clear, she felt that this posture was weird, and simply knelt in front of Li Chaoyang.

"Don't do this, I won't leave you, there's no need to kneel." Li Chaoyang couldn't help but tease Tong Fei.

"Make a fire." Tong Fei glanced at Li Chaoyang.

After fixing the firewood, Li Chaoyang pulled the bowstring, and a large amount of heat was generated with the rapid rotation of the wooden stick, and the sawdust was heated and emitted white smoke, and he carefully lay on the ground, gently blowing the sawdust.

The smoke was getting louder and louder, and a fire slowly came out of the sawdust.

"Whew!"

A small flame came out, Li Chaoyang hurriedly took the thatch and wrapped the small flame, the thatch was lit, Tong Fei hurriedly brought firewood and lit it, and the small flame gradually turned into a fire.

The heat spread from the fire, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces, and they couldn't wait to stretch out their hands to warm up the fire.

Sometimes the definition of happiness is as simple as a warm fire.

Li Chaoyang lit a torch and walked two steps inside with a gun, and just after entering, a group of bats roared and rushed out.

Ten or so steps ahead, Li Chaoyang walked to the end of the cave, which was about the same as he expected before, the total length was about eight or nine meters, but the cave was four or five meters wide, not to mention two people, even if it was seven or eight people, there was no problem.

On the left side of the cave, there is a cave the size of a bucket, which is winding and you can't see the bottom, and you can vaguely hear the sound of running water, which should be the birthplace of the stream.

Is there an underground river on this island as well? Li Chaoyang was deeply skeptical and felt the need to climb to the top of the mountain to check the surrounding situation.

"I'll go find some hay and twigs later, and we'll camp here tonight." Li Chaoyang extinguished the fire and looked a lot more relaxed.

He doesn't have room to play on the boat, but the island is different, he has a lot of experience in the wilderness, and this is his home turf.

"I ...... I want to take a shower, and I'm all spoiled. Tong Fei's low voice was a little shy.

Not to mention, Li Chaoyang has also not taken a bath for many days, and he smells it and is indeed full of a strange smell, he has been soaking in the sea water for a long time before, and the salt adheres to the skin and seeps into the wound, which is very painful and itchy.

Li Chaoyang felt uncomfortable as a man, let alone Tong Fei as a woman.

Wild beasts are rampant on the island, it must be unwise to go out at night, and the only way to take a bath is during the day, the creek is at the foot of the mountain, and it is only ten meters away from the cave, and after hesitating, Li Chaoyang agreed.

He looked at the fire and added a few thick sticks of firewood, which would take at least half an hour to burn out, which was enough for them to take a bath.

The two of them went out together, and Tong Fei stood by the water with some hesitation.

"Wash it quickly, I'll guard you." Li Chaoyang walked to the side with a gun and turned his back.

Tong Fei went around to the back of the grass, and it didn't take long for Li Chaoyang to hear the sound of going into the water, and the picture of Tong Fei taking a bath unconsciously appeared in his mind.

It's a pity that he has no intention of appreciating it now, for Tong Fei's safety, he turns around from time to time to take a look, behind the thatch, Tong Fei has his back to Li Chaoyang, with fair skin and a graceful figure, which is indeed very good.

At this moment, Tong Fei suddenly turned his head and looked at each other.

"Wash quickly, we don't have much time." Li Chaoyang's tone was very domineering, as if he was giving an order, it was a matter of life and death, and it was pointless to take care of those red tapes.

said that it didn't feel like it was fake, Li Chaoyang was a man with strong blood, and he would naturally be moved in the face of such a scene, but he quickly calmed himself down.

There are forest worms and other wild beasts on the island, and even the slightest thought must be restrained.

While on guard, Li Chaoyang picked up some firewood and hay nearby.

Tong Fei's movements were very fast, and it didn't take long to finish washing and put on her clothes again, the head of the ball was completely put down, and it turned into shawl hair, with a hint of ladylike flavor in her playfulness, she washed her clothes while taking a bath, and her whole body was dripping, as if she had been fished out of the water.

"It's your turn." Tong Fei bit her lip and deliberately covered her chest, her clothes were so wet that she could see the color of the clothes inside.

"This action of yours is redundant, I have seen it a long time ago." Li Chaoyang said as he took off his T-shirt and jumped into the stream, rolling in the stream like a buffalo bathing, and the churning stream was muddy.

Tong Fei couldn't help blushing, and was immediately attracted by Li Chaoyang's peculiar bathing posture.

"Is there anything special about you taking a bath like this?"

"No, it's just itchy skin."

What is the explanation? Tong Fei was a little stunned.

"The effect of this washing is similar to a bath cloth, which can cleanse the dirt and salt on the skin more deeply, and by the way, you can also massage the tense muscles, have you ever seen a buffalo bath? Actually, it's the same principle. ”

After Li Chaoyang finished speaking, he plunged his head into the water again, rubbed it a few times, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
