Chapter 104: Roast
Qi Hanyue stood up.
"Come on, let's get to work! I've got to make a fire! Without a fire, we would all be prey to wild beasts. ”
Reach out to Liu Zixin.
Liu Zixin put his hand into Qi Hanyue's hand, clenched his grip and stood up.
This feeling of self-reliance was something she had never felt before.
But now she felt useful.
This is the real usefulness of those who eat, drink and have fun.
At least she knew that she had got her own dinner.
This is the result of her struggle to survive for the first time in her life.
This made her happy and satisfied.
Liu Zixin went to the lake to wash the cranberries so that they could be dried on the stones.
Qi Hanyue had to find a way to make a fire.
I found a hard tree trunk, sharpened the dagger, and the whole trunk was polished smooth! There are no branches and potholes.
Another piece of wood was cut with a dagger, exactly the size of a tree trunk.
Tear the bark of those trunks into strands and pile them in small pits.
It is convenient to ignite the fire for a while.
Prepare some small trunks as a backup for ignition, and the thicker trunks are cut into small pieces.
Liu Zixin had already washed the cranberries, and even his backpack was washed and hung on a big stone.
Squatting in front of him, watching Qi Hanyue busy.
Liu Zixin couldn't help with this matter.
Qi Hanyue finally began to drill wood for fire.
Rub your hands together vigorously, at the beginning! The force is always used unevenly.
The stick kept flying out.
But slowly I seem to have found some tricks.
The wooden stick began to rise freely in Qi Hanyue's hand.
Maintaining a constant rotation in a position, finally, green smoke could be seen in the wisps of bark.
Liu Zixin shouted excitedly.
"It's coming, it's coming. Come on! ”
Qi Hanyue's strength did not stop! Continuing to exert force, finally the spark came out and ignited a clump of bark silk.
The small flame flickered faintly.
Han Yue immediately gently divided the large ball of bark silk prepared at hand into several small bark silks, and piled them up little by little, but unfortunately it was still too strong, and the bark silk ball directly extinguished the flames.
Only a puff of black smoke was emitting.
The cold moon is depressed.
It seems that in ancient times, it was not so easy for people to drill wood to make fire.
"Extinguished!"
Liu Zixin looked at the black smoke in disappointment.
Hanyue nodded, and she was also lost.
It's getting dark.
It's by the lake.
Quite a few animals in the neighborhood are sure to come here to get water.
The two of them found a sheltered place to camp for the night.
There is a stone cliff behind it, a natural barrier that can keep out the attacks of wild beasts.
The terrain is also flat, there is no gravel on the ground here, but sand, and it is much more comfortable to walk.
That's why Hanyue chose this place as a campsite.
But there was no fire.
Not only the beasts but also the risk of attacking them, but also the mosquitoes began to attack them overwhelmingly.
The cold moon has killed an unknown number of mosquitoes.
Ay!
Go on.
Liu Zixin couldn't do anything.
I had to find something to do on my own, spread the palm leaves that Hanyue had brought back on the flat ground next to the fire, and clean up the rubble there.
This girl can now take the initiative to find things to do.
And there are no complaints.
It's a lot changed from the beginning.
Cold Moon continues to drill wood for fire.
I tore out a lot of small clumps of bark strands.
Take the stick and continue to rotate and rub.
Fortunately, practice makes perfect.
This time it took almost no effort, and soon the green smoke was billowing, and sparks splashed on the bark silk.
A small cluster of flames rose up.
This time, I learned a lesson, and instead of putting a large ball of bark strands on it directly, I gently fanned it to let the wind bring more flames, and then brought the bark strands over, slowly ignited, and then added the flames, and finally the flames beat happily more and more violently.
After a few lumps of bark joined, Cold Moon began to put the tiny branches inside, and the flames finally stabilized.
Put a few thick branches up, and the flames don't have to worry about it at all.
Clap your hands.
Liu Zixin had already run over.
The excited little face was flushed.
"Raw! The cold moon finally has a fire. We can no longer be afraid of the beast! ”
Holding Qi Hanyue's arm, he shook and shook.
Qi Hanyue was also happy.
It seems easy to say.
In fact, only those who do it themselves know that it is not easy.
Wipe your sweat.
Liu Zixin turned his head and saw Qi Hanyue's face.
Flutter laughed.
Qi Hanyue was stunned.
What is this girl doing?
"You, you! Look...... Your face! ”
Qi Hanyue raised her hand, hehe.
Because of the fire, this hand is basically a fight with black charcoal.
I know what my face looks like.
All right.
Now it's the eldest brother, don't laugh at the second brother.
Laughed.
The night didn't seem so dark in the laughter of the two girls.
Really! Lighting a fire seems to be the most obvious benefit! Even the mosquitoes that are almost always covered are suddenly gone.
Hanyue looked at the refreshing surroundings and finally felt a little satisfied.
It seems that all the effort is worth it.
Now seems to be the time to settle down for dinner.
Originally, cranberries were the preferred food for cold moons.
Also ready.
Otherwise, why bother to let Liu Zixin go to the trouble to pick it back.
But it wasn't because of an accident that there was an extra wild boar.
Small though.
Hanyue checked.
It's a juvenile wild boar.
Hopefully, the boar's parents won't be found.
Otherwise, she would have to settle them as a family of three.
That's not what she's going to do.
But now there are ready-made wild boar meat on the shelf.
How could Cold Moon choose to be a vegetarian.
There is fire, there is meat.
Qi Hanyue could already imagine the skewers of barbecue overflowing with fat, charred and fragrant, with charred skin and tender meat, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
All right.
For the sake of this delicacy, you can't grieve your stomach.
Qi Hanyue dragged the wild boar to the lake to disembowel.
Washed and sliced with a dagger, strips of flesh, fat and thin, were skewered with wooden sticks that had been processed long ago.
String by string, there are dozens of strings.
Hanyue felt that he would not handle the meat well tonight.
At this temperature, tomorrow the meat will spoil.
It's better to bake it.
Eat a portion of it to fill your stomach.
The rest is grilled into jerky.
It can be stored and easily carried.
If they start their journey tomorrow, they will be able to have enough food to eat.
So there's no waste at all.
As long as the meat that can be eaten is skewered.
After this wild boar.
Qi Hanyue finally didn't worry about food.
Originally, all she thought about was picking some wild fruits.
Now there is food all over the mountains.
As long as there are wild beasts, that's their food.
I'm not afraid of hunger this time.
Liu Zixin had already watched the strings of meat skewers drooling all over the ground.
Two foodies happily grilled meat skewers around the fire, smelling the fragrance and having fun.
