Fanwai (3) Drilling wood to make fire# There is one more chapter today
"By the way, do you want to go with me? You'll be back soon." Qin Hua asked.
Xiao Yu'er thought about it, then nodded and said: "Okay, but we have to come back quickly. If we come back late, the tribe will be worried."
"Okay, don't worry, we'll be back as soon as we go." Qin Hua said.
In the evening, it is not as hot as during the day, and it is very comfortable for people to walk on the trails. Especially at this time, the air is even more refreshing.
Qin Hua was holding nearly three kilograms of pork belly in his left hand, and in his right hand was a 1.45-meter-long stick slightly smaller than his wrist. This stick was picked up near the entrance of the cave.
Although this is a gathering place for tribes, Qin Hua cannot guarantee that there are no dangerous animals wandering around here. As the saying goes, if you have a gun in your hand, you will not panic. The stick in your hand can give people a certain sense of security.
Fortunately, the small river is not very far from the cave, only about a hundred meters away. Moreover, this distance is within a safe range, and it is also a place where the tribesmen often play and play.
However, Qin Hua is not going to the stream to wash the meat now, but is preparing to look for some flammable things. Qin Hua can't eat raw meat with blood streaks. Whether for health or taste, Qin Hua is going to eat cooked meat.
BBQ.
In this era, not everyone can master the skill of raising fire. When Qin Hua came to this world, he naturally wanted to spread the knowledge he knew. Regardless of his status, he would selflessly dedicate it to the majority of mankind.
"Hua, aren't we going to wash the meat? How did we get here?" Xiao Yu'er asked curiously, while looking into the depths of the forest with some fear.
It is very easy to find flammable plants here. After all, this is a deep forest with all kinds of plants.
Pine needles, leaves, and dry twigs are all flammable objects. Not long after, Qin Hua collected several kilograms of pine needles and a large number of dry twigs. Of course, the little fish also transformed into a
A coolie helps carry these things.
As for firewood, you don't have to worry about this, because there are a lot of dry firewood at the entrance of the cave. You can just bring it in when you go back.
Finally, Qin Hua found a large tree stump. It looked very dry. It was rotten inside and contained a lot of debris. This was a very good thing. As long as it encountered a spark, it would smoke quickly, so be careful to protect it.
You will be successful.
After Qin Hua saw that he had collected enough flammable plants, he said to Xiao Yu'er: "Let's go back."
After hearing Qin Hua's words, Xiao Yu'er, who was originally listless, immediately became energetic and started to walk back.
It was only over a hundred meters away from the cave, so it was still very safe. The two of them returned to the entrance of the cave safely along the way.
Afterwards, Qin Hua picked up a lot of dry firewood and entered the cave.
As for what Qin Hua and Xiao Yu'er were doing outside, others didn't have the patience to ask, but glanced at the two of them.
After entering the cave, Qin Hua placed the wooden stake on the ground and clamped it tightly to prevent it from moving. Then he found a wooden stick as thick as a ham sausage from the dry firewood. It was smooth and easy to hold.
Xiao Yu'er looked at Qin Hua curiously to see what he was going to do. Qin Hua was still very happy that Xiao Yu'er was curious, but he was afraid that he would not be curious. As long as he was curious, he would follow his example.
How to drill wood to make fire.
Then Qin Hua dug a small hole a few centimeters deep in the rotten wood, just big enough to fit the drilled wood in his hand, with a little extra space.
After the hole was dug, Qin Hua placed some pine needles in the hole, actually stuffing them inside.
Pine needles, which are pine leaves, are very thin and have pointed tips. The pine needles contain pine oil, which makes them difficult to extinguish once they catch fire.
After everything was ready, Qin Hua put the drill in his hand into the wood hole.
Then~
Qin Hua rubbed the drill wood quickly, his hands were very fast, and soon his hands gradually became hot, but the flammable material below did not react at all. Qin Hua was not disappointed with this, drill wood took
Fire is not that easy to do, it requires a certain amount of patience and perseverance.
At this time, others also saw Qin Hua's actions. They saw Qin Hua rubbing the wooden stick with both hands. They didn't know what it meant. It was probably fun.
Fortunately, this body was very powerful. After a minute like this, Qin Hua saw a trace of smoke coming out of the hole. This time, Qin Hua moved even faster. He couldn't stop now, otherwise the temperature inside would drop rapidly.
, everything will be wasted.
The people around also saw the smoke coming out of it, but they didn't know why.
At this moment, the pine needles below turned red at that moment, which meant that they burned. Then more pine needles turned into fiery red, which meant that there was a charcoal fire, and there was no flame.
Others also screamed in surprise, saying: "Fire, fire."
When Qin Hua saw that there was already a charcoal fire, he immediately stopped drilling the wood and blew the charcoal fire gently with his mouth to add oxygen to the charcoal fire to make it burn quickly.
With a pop, a line of flames lit up the dark cave.
This was a big deal. When the entire Snake Tribe saw Qin Hua rubbing fire with his hands, they were immediately shocked. Everyone knelt down in front of the fire and kowtowed as if they were praying for something.
But what is a bit strange is that Qin Hua is standing next to the fire, which means everyone is kowtowing to Qin Hua.
This caught Qin Hua off guard, wondering how they would deal with him.
At the beginning, Qin Hua wanted to use fire to roast meat and make them worship him, but he did not consider what he would do if they saw that he could make fire with his hands.
Seeing that the flame was about to go out, Qin Hua didn't care so much. It had been raised with great difficulty and could not be extinguished like this.
Qin Hua held a handful of pine needles, held them against the flames, and soon they started to burn. Then he placed them on the ground and added a large amount of pine needles and dry twigs. This was considered a success.
This piece of wood cannot be burned like this. It will be used next time, otherwise Qin Hua will not move the fire.
At this time, everyone was watching Qin Hua's step-by-step operation, and even the "Witch" was attracted to him.
Qin Hua was a little embarrassed to be watched by so many people, but he was not slow in his actions. Qin Hua put the dressed pork belly on the fire and slowly roasted it, and asked Xiao Yu'er to help add firewood.
The first time, Xiao Yu'er was a little scared, but the second time it was much better. It didn't take long for Xiao Yu'er to adapt to the fire and was no longer afraid, but in his heart he was full of worship for the fire. Of course,
I admire Qin Hua even more.
Not long after, the aroma of meat filled the entire cave, making the throats of the tribesmen squirm.
"Hua" come here, a majestic voice reached Qin Hua's ears.
Qin Hua looked up and saw that it was the "Witch". Under the light of the fire, an unknown feather on the head of the "Witch" glowed with colorful colors, which was very beautiful.
At this time, Qin Hua couldn't tolerate it and had to go over. This was the "shaman" of the Snake tribe, with higher power and prestige than the leader of the Snake Xi tribe.
"Witch, what do you want from me?" Qin Hua asked softly.
Wu did not answer Qin Hua, but pointed to the fire on the ground and said excitedly: "Did you rub this out?"
Well, yes, I rubbed it out.
After Qin Hua finished speaking, he looked at Wu with frustration.
