Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Fire Is Bright

However, there was no light in the production of charcoal, which made him very nervous, and he did not know whether the charcoal was successfully made.

But a hundred times on the reel, has become ninety-nine.

The number of times is reduced by one, which means that he has just succeeded in using the scroll.

Through the small hole deliberately left, you can see that there is still a faint fire inside.

Twinkle and twinkle, like red fireflies.

Xu Shiying frowned, he was hesitating whether to pick up the soil now and see if the charcoal was successfully made.

Then I thought, let's wait until all the fires inside are extinguished, and then pull them away.

However, he had to keep a fire, otherwise he would not be able to see anything in the pit when the fire was extinguished.

I found some wood, lit the stick with the light of the fire at the entrance of the cave, put it on the ground, and then piled the wood next to my feet on this burning stick, and fell layer by layer.

It has no fixed shape, and looks like a small campfire from the outside.

The light on the bottom stick will ignite all the sticks little by little over time, eventually creating a fire.

Hedgerats play around a freshly lit fire.

No matter how much wood there is, it can only burn for about 10 to 15 minutes, and when the time is up, it will be extinguished.

Xu Shiying went back to the house, took out a few pieces of charcoal, and put them on the wood.

According to Zhuge Dali, a piece of charcoal can burn for thirty minutes.

Even if it's less than thirty minutes, it's more cost-effective than burning wood.

There is not much charcoal in the house, and it is almost bottoming out.

There are so many places to use charcoal.

When sleeping, use charcoal for the kang bed and charcoal for the fireplace.

It's not much once or twice, but I can't use it every day.

If he fails to make charcoal again this time, he can only speak to Zhuge vigorously again.

When the fire in the pile of wood had stabilized, Xu Shiying found a long wooden stick and tied a wrapping cloth soaked in rabbit oil.

Every time you upgrade your shelter, there will be a wrapping cloth.

He lit the oiled wrapping cloth and made a torch.

Then he went about the rest with his torch in hand.

To make a trap, you need not only wood, but also rattan, and after he made the greenhouse, he no longer had rattan in his hands.

He took out the "Survival Manual" and contacted Bai Zhong, and after waiting for about three or five minutes, Bai Zhong still did not reply to his message.

Xu Shiying and other places were really anxious, so they contacted other survivors, rattan this thing, generally speaking, as long as there is a forest, almost all of them, just because of different varieties.

In fact, there were also rattans deep in the woods he had gone to, and although there were not many of them, they were enough for him.

Because he had encountered a wild boar before, he was afraid of encountering a wild boar again, so he did not go to the forest today, and he regretted that he did not collect rattan.

But it doesn't matter, when his guardian rattan grows up, he will have countless rattans for him to use, so he won't have to worry about rattan anymore.

After a bit of bargaining with the survivor who owned the rattan, Xu Shiying finally exchanged one piece of wood for five meters of rattan for a hundred meters of rattan.

100 meters of rattan, unless there is a big project like building a greenhouse, which requires a lot of rattan.

As for the production of animal traps, not much rattan is used at all, and the main structure of the animal cage is mainly wood, supplemented by rattan.

He estimated that the rattan would only use a few meters or so at most.

There is a scroll to make and weave this piece, he doesn't need to worry about it at all, he just needs to prepare the corresponding materials.

Xu Shiying gathered the materials together, used the crafting scroll, and with a flash of white light, the ten animal traps were ready.

Then he tied a rattan to each cage and put slices of meat on it, and he also poured some rabbit blood and wiped it on the edge of the cage, the smell of blood can increase the attraction of the beast.

After that, he carried the cage and continued to throw it in the direction of the grave, I don't know if there were a lot of weeds there, or if there was something special, every time he threw the cage in this direction, he could catch one or two wild beasts.

Of course, he didn't scatter all the cages in that direction, but ten cages were scattered, basically one cage was buried in each direction, the rattan at the other end was tied to a large stone, and the cage was hidden in the dark grass and waited for the beasts to take the bait.

When I looked up at the sky, there was no moon or stars on my forehead, just because it was only one or two o'clock in the afternoon.

Today the daytime is free for three hours, and after three hours, darkness falls, and the sky is completely dark.

It's only one or two o'clock in the afternoon, and it's not yet the time for the moon to go to work.

However, because it was dark, everyone and animals thought it was nighttime.

Just now, when he was at the bonfire,

But while browsing the public chat area of the Survival Handbook, he accidentally glanced at the time, which showed 1:45 p.m.

But it was desperately dark.

Xu Shiying suddenly had a glimmer of realization, the coming of darkness is not just those strange beings hidden in the darkness, but loneliness and despair.

Plants cannot photosynthesize without sunlight, and wild animals cannot continue to grow without daylight.

And the fire in the darkness becomes extremely important.

It is precisely because of the presence of fire that the hedgerats in the yard, after eating enough, begin to play happily.

There were a few hedgerats that had a better relationship, so they got together and squeaked and chatted about something.

From time to time, Xu Shiying added a handful of firewood to the small wooden pile, first, to bake the fire, and second, with the light of the fire, they would sleep relatively late, which could greatly eliminate the discomfort of the hedgerats to the dark.

For the sake of this group of hinged rats, Xu Shiying can be described as painstaking.

However, there is a reward for what you give.

Gradually, the hedgerats began to think of it as a home, and the improvised nests he had built had been secretly transformed by them into more habitable shapes.

After counting the time, the charcoal should be almost ready, the fire inside has been extinguished, and the dirt can be peeled away.

Xu Shiying called a few hedgerats to help pick up the dirt.

With the help of the hedgerat, the solidified clumps of dirt can be easily removed.

When the dirt is peeled away, you will see a long black stick.

Xiao Qi thought it was something good, and bit the wooden stick curiously, his mouth immediately turned black, and his mouth was bitter, and then he spat to the side, obviously the taste of the black wooden stick made it unhappy.

Xu Shiying smiled and shook his head, should he say that this kid is greedy, or should he say that he is too curious?

He bent down and knocked on the black wooden stick, and when he struck, there would be a dull sound, and Xu Shiying broke a black wooden stick with his hand, and it was already completely black, not the kind of black after burning, but the hard black.

Xu Shiying is secretly happy, is it successful?

He pulled out a black wooden stick about thirty centimeters long and threw it into the pile of wood, observing the subtle changes in the stick.

If it weren't for charcoal, the stick wouldn't have been lit.
