Episode 5: Eating Clams Raw, Flame of Hope!

On the beach, in front of Cheng Fei, a huge shell was full of a bunch of clams that had been cleaned, not to mention thirty or forty, for people who survived in the wilderness, it was definitely a hearty seafood feast, but at this moment, he couldn't put his mouth down.

It's not because he's not hungry, it's not because the seafood isn't fresh enough, it's the opposite, it's because the seafood is so fresh, even if it's all fresh!

The absence of fire means that he has only two options, either he will be hungry first and then enjoy the seafood feast when the fire is lit, or he will have to eat it raw!

After a moment of hesitation, the rumbling stomach finally forced Cheng Fei to make a choice, and he smashed open a clam with a woodcutter, revealing the white soft meat inside, which was real seafood.

It is said that this thing must be cooked to be delicious, but unfortunately, Cheng Fei has no choice at the moment, he closed his eyes, endured the fishy smell, and put a piece of clam meat into his mouth.

Slimy, coupled with some sand hidden in the meat inside, the taste is indeed not very good, and it is completely different from the cooked one, but for the hungry Cheng Fei, this can already be regarded as a godsend food. When surviving, as long as you can replenish your energy, everything else can be ignored for the time being.

Therefore, even if the taste of raw clam meat was very bad, Cheng Fei still forced himself to eat a few, of course, he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to eat more, after all, it was the first time to eat raw clam meat, and he had to consider whether his body could withstand it.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if the clam meat is really useful, after eating a few clams, Cheng Fei felt that the hunger in his stomach was slightly weakened, and his spirit was much better.

When people are faced with difficulties and tests, spirit and faith are very important, if you even give up yourself, the final outcome can only be turned into a handful of loess, reduced to the nourishment of the animals and plants on this desert island.

Before, he already had a cave as a dwelling, a coconut as a water source, and now, with food, it can be said that he already has the basic living conditions, and the only thing left is fire!

According to the adventure mission, he had to survive on this island for a total of twenty-one days, and now it was only the second day, and fire was essential if he wanted to live and live comfortably.

Firing!

This is the goal that Cheng Fei will strive for next.

Now, he has only been on this island for two days, both physically and mentally, he is still in a normal state, if he can't seize the opportunity to make a fire, after a long time, his physical and mental consumption is too much, and he wants to make a fire, it will undoubtedly become more difficult.

So, after returning to the cave, he rested for a while, and felt that his strength was almost recovered, so he set off to continue the great business of making a fire that had not been completed yesterday.

The firewood pile and velvet are ready-made, all Cheng Fei has to do is to use a firewood knife to grind the lighter, light the velvet, form a fire, and then use the firewood to light the firewood, and then it can be regarded as a great achievement.

At this time, the time was close to noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter, so that the reef outside the cave was a little hot. However, this is good news for Cheng Fei!

The scorching sun and high temperature will certainly accelerate the loss of water in the human body and make people more prone to heat stroke and illness, but at the same time, such an environment is also easier to make fires.

In addition, once born, second ripe, and having yesterday's failed experience in making fires, Cheng Fei also gave Cheng Fei a little more control over the fire tools he currently has.

Taking a deep breath, Cheng Fei immediately moved, compared to yesterday, his movements were obviously a lot more proficient, rubbing the flint could shoot sparks almost every time, but for some reason, he just couldn't ignite the velvet, which made him feel very anxious.

"Can't be in a hurry, can't be in a hurry........."

Knowing that he couldn't be impatient in this matter, Cheng Fei stopped the movements in his hand, trimmed it slightly, and waited until his mind calmed down before he restarted his great cause of making fire.

Thankfully, it was only noon, and there was still more than half a day before it got dark, and he still had time to try.

Once, twice......... Cheng Fei kept grinding the lighter with a firewood knife, and from time to time sparks flashed and fell on the velvet, but unfortunately, it was always extinguished in a flash.

Time just passed minute by minute.

The great cause of making fires is the same as before, and there is not even the slightest progress.

Cheng Fei felt that his hands began to go numb, a large amount of sweat overflowed from his body, and gradually, a trace of swelling pain appeared, obviously, his physical strength was being consumed sharply.

The movement was still slow, as heavy as if it had been poured with lead water.

But Cheng Fei knew that he couldn't choose to give up because of this little difficulty, and he couldn't get angry, which meant that his survival probability would be greatly reduced.

In a difficult situation, people must be more determined, and the more difficult it is, the more they will not be able to give up. Because, in many cases, once stopped, it is equivalent to the loss of previous efforts, and even, all previous efforts will be wiped out.

Cheng Fei didn't want to give up, because he wanted to live, complete the adventure mission, and then go home!

Loved ones, lovers, friends......... He has too many worries in his heart, and at this moment, they have all turned into the driving force that supports him, making him grit his teeth and keep working hard.

There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts!

Finally, the hard work paid off, and after Cheng Fei had put in enough effort, the velvet suddenly burst into flames at the moment when a puff of sparks fell.

Cheng Fei's eyes were full of surprise, and he saw a small flame jumping up, happily licking the dried coconut leaves, igniting the flame of life!

"Finally it worked!"

The joy in his heart was indescribable, Cheng Fei took a deep breath, tried to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart, and put the fire velvet that had been lit on the pyre that had been built in advance.

On top of the tinder, Cheng Fei added some dried coconut leaves.

The flame is still small, and it can only be counted as a small flame, and if you want to use this flame to light the pyre, or add larger firewood directly, it is very likely that the flame will be extinguished.

This was a fire that Cheng Fei had spent nearly two days to make, how could he allow his efforts to be in vain, so he had to be careful with every step.

In response to Cheng Fei's efforts, the flames suddenly burst up, forming a large canopy of flames, which kept beating.

Looking at the fire in front of him, Cheng Fei was extremely surprised in his heart, the heat was very hot, and he was tired, and at this moment, before the joy of success, it was all gone.

This is fire!

It is like the first fire lit by human beings at the beginning of the long period of ignorance, the real fire of life!

With fire, it means that he doesn't have to eat raw things, and it also means that he can drive away the darkness and cold of the night, and the future life on a desert island will be much better.

For a person who survives, that's enough!

Cheng Fei rested for a while, and built a circle of stones outside the fire, especially on the outside, he deliberately increased the height. His fire was built on the side of the cave entrance, blocking the outside, so that there would be no danger of extinguishing the flame as long as it did not come into too much wind and rain.

And all he has to do is let the flame burn continuously.

This deserted island lacks everything but firewood, after all, the island has a large mountain forest, which can provide an endless supply of firewood.

Not to mention going into the mountains to cut firewood, even those dead and falling branches, as long as he collects a little, it is enough for him to burn for ten days and half a month, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Of course, that's all for later.

And now, what he has to do is to use this freshly lit fire to cook a delicious seafood meal for himself, not to mention, just thinking about it, he is a little excited!
