Chapter 8: Fire is the Source of Civilization!
Zhang Fan looked at Erya's sweaty head, and understood that something must have happened, so he climbed out and dug the "bottom of the pot" and came to Erya's side and said, "Erya, you sit down first, what's the matter, talk slowly." ”
Erya also knew that she couldn't be in a hurry, so she told Zhang Fan what she saw.
After Zhang Fan listened, he fell into deep thought. Erya looked at it for a while before saying, "Zhang Fan, why don't you go!" I'm the fault of my own doing, so let them come to me if there's anything. ”
Zhang Fan raised his head and looked directly at Erya and said, "I don't allow you to say such things, if there is any problem, we will bear it together!" Okay, silly girl, I've got a countermeasure, and I'm sure they'll suffer. ”
Zhang Fan got up and picked up the can pull ring again, and started his unfinished business.
Erya knows that Zhang Fan is sometimes very stubborn, and it is difficult to change what he believes, now that he has a countermeasure, he has to accompany him all the time.
"I'll go get the dry wood back, and if you're tired, take a break!"
Zhang Fan's voice came from inside: "Well, you have to be careful. ”
In fact, Zhang Fan has no countermeasures, but as a man, he doesn't want Erya to worry, he wants to make Erya feel that even if the sky falls, Zhang Fan will help her carry it.
Just when Zhang Fan was thinking wildly, Erya walked into the rat hole with a bundle of hay on his back.
"Haven't you dug it up yet? Or I'll do it! Erya watched Zhang Fan dig for a long time, and then spoke.
"I've seen the light on the other side, and it's still a few clicks away. Zhang Fan gasped and said.
"Alright then, I'll tidy up the hay first."
........
As soon as Erya's haystack was tidied up, he heard Zhang Fan's voice coming: "Hahaha, it's finally dug through!" The silly girl will be able to eat the cooked food in a while. ”
"Huh? Is it through? Let me see. Erya ran over curiously, looking left and right.
"It's so windy here!" Erya couldn't help but be curious and interrogated Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and took Erya into his arms, and said gently: "Because this is a smoke exhaust outlet, it has wind." Oh, okay, let's put our "pot" on it together, and we can cook cooked food. ”
Zhang Fan came to the cave and put the pot made of tin foil on the pit dug by Erya. A hole was dug at the bottom to fill the firewood.
Erya has been watching Zhang Fan busy from the side, she is really happy, Zhang Fan is like her umbrella, nothing can be difficult for him.
When the preparations were finished, Zhang Fan set up the lighter and said to Erya: "Ms. Erya, do you want to feel the feeling of fire?" ”
The two are getting more and more different, what does Zhang Fan mean by this? Why don't you understand it?
Zhang Fan saw that Erya didn't move, and looked at himself stunned with his cherry mouth open. It seems that if you don't show a little practical action to prove yourself, you will be mistaken for a fool.
Zhang Fan took the can pull ring, pried into the switch of the lighter little by little, and pressed down hard.
Smack, boom! A flame erupted from the lighter's launchport, instantly illuminating the entire rat hole.
When the flames appeared from the lighter, Erya's eyes were full of horror. She was scared, and she could even feel her soul trembling.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan hurriedly extinguished the lighter, came to Erya's side, and asked softly, "Erya, what's wrong with you?" Are you afraid of fire? ”
Erya didn't speak, just kept staring at the extinguished lighter and nodded slightly.
Zhang Fan knew that Erya was very resistant to fire at this time, but fire is the source of civilization, and if you want to build a civilized society, you must know how to use fire!
Erya has not recovered from the panic at this time. Zhang Fan helped Erya to the side and said to her, "It's actually very simple for you to sit here first and watch how I use fire." ”
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, he came to the lighter again, and while starting the lighter, he carefully explained the principle of the lighter.
Syllable! The flames were lit again.
Zhang Fan observed Erya and saw that she was much better than the first time, so he took the next steps.
Picked up some hay, skillfully ignited it, and held it in his hand like a torch. Zhang Fan put the burning hay into the bottom of the "pot" that had been built, and the smoke from the burning flew down the flue to the outside of the hole.
Then pour the shells filled with water into a "pot" made of tin foil and cover the lid made of paper pieces of cigarette box.
Everything is done in order, just wait for the water to boil the rice.
Everything Zhang Fan did was seen by Erya, and she suddenly felt so cowardly. She plucked up the courage to go to the lighter, and stood there carefully observing the leaping flames.
"It will bring you warmth, bring you hope, and bring you a different future. If you accept it today, you can easily manipulate it. Zhang Fan's voice sounded from behind, encouraging Erya.
Erya, who was standing next to the flames, did not turn around, and said in a firm tone: "I want to give it a try." ”
Zhang Fan smiled, if you don't even have the courage to try, let alone succeed. Zhang Fan picked up some hay and handed it to Erya.
Er Ya took the hay, trembling hands slowly approached the flame, the temperature of the fire ignited the hay, and the temperature at which the hay burned was very warm.
"Silly girl, you've succeeded, you've now defeated the flames. Now you need to master the flames to achieve what you want. ”
Erya was very excited, this was her first attempt, and she felt that she had taken a big step.
Erya imitated Zhang Fan's movements and put the burning hay into the "bottom of the pot".
Zhang Fan extinguished the lighter to prevent the temperature from being too high and detonating the lighter. Turning to look at Erya, who was flushed, he didn't know if Erya's face was roasted by the fire, or if he was too excited.
"Silly girl, you just need to fill the hay now to prevent the fire from being extinguished, and wait until the fire boils the water and we put the food in the water and boil it."
"Thank you, Zhang Fan! Do you know? Every year, many of our rats are consumed by this merciless fire. The land burns every year, everything is swallowed up, and countless people in the fire wail, and the sound of miserable pain rings in my ears. So I'm afraid! I'm really scared! Hehehe, did you see that? I can now master this relentless fire. ”
Zhang Fan felt guilty, he knew that he set the fire every year, in order to have a good harvest next year, he burned the rice stalks and weeds cleanly, but he didn't want the rats to be innocently harmed.
