【058】Smoked
"Hmm. Chi nodded, walked to the stone pile, and put his hands on the gravel pile with Shen Nong, intending to push it down.
Boom Boom!
The pile of rubble kept making a piercing grinding sound, and then, under the gaze of Shen Nong and the others, it tilted downward with a mountain of momentum, and in an instant, it firmly blocked the hole of the white-bearded ape's lair.
When the last piece of gravel fell, the roar stopped, Shen Nong clapped his hands with satisfaction and said, "It's okay, let's go down now." ”
Chi looked at the entrance of the cave that was completely buried by rubble very puzzled, scratched his head suspiciously, followed behind Shen Nong and asked, "Wu, this cave entrance is buried, how can we kill the white-bearded ape." ”
"I've thought of this for a long time, just wait, and soon we'll be able to harvest the carcasses of an entire white-whiskered ape population. Shen Nong said confidently.
Walking down from the stone platform, Shen Nong took the chlam back behind the boulder where the two had been hiding, lifted the two hay bales out of the buried hole, and began to fiddle in place.
I saw Shen Nong dismantle two large bales of hay and pile them into the shape of a haystack, at this time the night was dark, a crescent moon hung high in the night, and the white moonlight barely illuminated the position where Shen Nong was standing, just enough for him to see the hole of the buried white-bearded ape's lair.
"Wu, what are we going to do now?" asked Chi.
"You go and dig a crack in this gravel pile that is barely accessible to people, and remember not to dig too big, just allow the outside to ventilate the inside of the hole. Shen Nong said casually, then squatted down and began to fiddle with the matter at hand.
Chi looked at Shen Nong blankly, not understanding what he was going to do, the two of them had just worked hard to prepare, and only then did they successfully bury the nest of the white-bearded ape, but now Shen Nong wanted him to dig the hole again, which was really incomprehensible.
But fortunately, the people of the Huangqiu tribe would not refuse Wu's order, although they were very confused, but Chi still honestly walked over and lifted the stone.
At the same time as he was moving the stones, Shen Nong was also concentrating on his work, only to see him take out the branches and wood that he had picked up from the forest before, and after carefully observing it for a while with the help of the moonlight, he reached out and laid a layer of hay on the wood, put the branches vertically on the surface of the wood, and clamped the branches with both hands, and began to do a back and forth grinding movement.
A few minutes later.
"Strange, why is it useless? Not to mention the fire, I haven't even seen a cigarette for so long. Shen Nong stopped his hands that had been rubbed to redness, and said to himself very tiredly.
Rubbing the branches all the time, the skin in the palm area was very damaging, and seeing that he couldn't catch fire for a long time, Shen Nong had to choose to stop his movements first, looking at the unresponsive wood helplessly, and wondering if he had done a wrong step.
"The hay used to support the combustion, the sharpened branches, the flat wood, yes, what is the problem?" Shen Nong checked his fire tools again, but he didn't find anything wrong.
At this moment, Chi came over from the side sweating profusely, sat down beside Shen Nong and said, "Wu, I've got it done, there is now a gap almost up to my waist on the gravel pile, and I can hear the white-whiskered ape cry from it." ”
However, Shen Nong will feel depressed because of the problem of not being able to get out the fire by drilling wood, and he is not in the mood to reply to Chi, and the lack of fire at the moment means that Shen Nong's plan cannot be implemented, and if his plan cannot be implemented, he will not be able to kill all the white-whiskered apes in the cave, so all the preparations he and Chi have made before will be in vain.
Seeing Shen Nong's expressionless face and staring at the piece of wood with his eyes, Chi couldn't help but look at his gaze, and after seeing this piece of wood clearly, Chi immediately blurted out and asked, "Wu, what are you doing with this piece of cold wood?"
"Make a fire, but I can't even drill a little fire, it's completely useless. Shen Nong hugged his head and said.
"Make a fire? The bark of the cold wood does not light a fire. Chi took the piece of wood that Shen Nong picked up casually into his arms, then pulled out the stone knife hanging from his waist, and began to stab and chisel on the surface of the wood.
Soon, he had shad all the brown bark off the surface of the wood, revealing the beige white core beneath the bark.
"Do you want to light a fire?" Hearing Chi's words, Shen Nong couldn't help but be stunned.
"Here, Wu, try again now. Chi handed the wood that had been peeled clean of the bark to Shen Nong and said.
Although there was some hesitation in his heart, Shen Nong still took the wood and tried again, and the result was really as Chi said, the bark of the cold wood could not be ignited, and when the bark was peeled off, Shen Nong did not rub it for long, and the wood covered by the hay began to float out a trace of light smoke, and then the fire lit up, and the hay finally burned a small red flame.
"It worked!" Shen Nong couldn't help but laugh.
Because the mountain wind on this stone mountain was too strong, Shen Nong was worried that the flames would be blown out, so he didn't bother to celebrate, so he got up and walked directly to the haystack next to him with a log in his hand. I saw that he carefully pulled out a pit on the surface of the haystack, then put the wood in his hand into the pit, and immediately brought other hay to cover up the pit.
Within a few tens of seconds, a large amount of smoke came out of the haystack, and the fire could be faintly seen from it, and a choking smell kept pouring into the nose of Shen Nong and the others, which stimulated Shen Nong's eyes and nose numb.
"Quick, move this haystack to the other side of the gap. Shen Nong didn't care too much, and hurriedly urged Chi to come with him, and while carrying the grass pile, he strode towards the gap that Chi had just dug out.
I saw that this gap was about one meter high, thirty centimeters wide, very narrow, the body of an adult could not drill through it at all, it is estimated that only children can try it, and standing outside the gap, you can faintly hear a large number of noises coming from inside, it seems that there are a large number of monkeys constantly shouting.
Shen Nong and Chi directly placed the grass pile in front of this gap, and watched it begin to burn, only to see that under the cover of the hay, the small flame continued to devour the hay and turned into its own burning fuel, and soon increased from the original fist size to like a water tank, and the bigger the fire, the more fierce the corresponding smoke produced, rolling like a pillar, straight up to the sky.
The mountain breeze that blew immediately carried the smoke into the cracks, and continued to pour into the white-whiskered ape's lair.
"Squeak, squeak!" The movement from the gap is getting louder and louder, there should be some white-whiskered apes who have discovered this gap and want to climb out of it, but how can it be so easy, first they have to endure the choking of smoke, and then there are already two humans with stone spears waiting outside the gap, as long as a white-whiskered ape is lucky enough to crawl out of the gap, it will immediately be attacked by Shen Nong and Chi with all their strength, and there is still only one dead word in the end.
