Chapter 160 Making Fire (2)

A ball of tinder was placed under the stick that had been drilled out of a small hole on the ground. Han Cheng took a modified hand drill and put the stick into it, and stepped on the stick on the ground with one foot. , to prevent it from moving around, and then start to press down on the hand pressure drill one by one, the same way as when drilling things.

The wooden drill pipe rotated quickly with Han Cheng's up and down pressure, and within a few strokes, a trace of blue smoke rose from the wooden pit, and then there were warm, black sawdust carved from both sides of the wooden pit. Come out of the wooden trough that came out, and fall onto the soft tinder below.

Han Cheng was a little excited, and kept pressing down on the hand drill. As the drill rod continued to rotate, more blackened sawdust fell, and after a while, white smoke came out from under the rod. up on the tinder.

Seeing this, Han Cheng put away the hand drill, picked up the tinder and put it near his mouth to blow air, the small sparks grew from small to large, and soon a flame rose.

Looking back, it took about two or three minutes to make fire by drilling wood this time, which is much faster than the original fire drilling of the Qingque Tribe and the flint he made before!

It's only the first time for me to use this hand pressure drill to drill fire, and the effect is so obvious. After practicing hard for a period of time, wouldn't the speed be faster?

Thinking of this, Han Cheng turned his head and saw Liao who was staring at the burning velvet in a daze. His heart moved, so he asked Liao to try it.

Lie was replacing his usual hand drill with a wooden pole and was amazed that fire could be drilled out. Hearing Shenzi calling him to do it, he hurried over to take the hand drill, but his hands were trembling because of being too excited.

The wooden pole turned, black sawdust flowed out, white smoke rose from the tinder, and then the flame danced, reflected in the lame eyes, making the eyes brighter and brighter.

Lame is the one who uses hand pressure drills the most in the tribe. Now it takes a lot less time for lame to do this than Han Cheng.

The joy on Han Cheng's face became more and more intense. The matter that he had been entangled with for so long was actually solved in this way!

It is not the fire knife and flint as originally thought, nor is it the fire fold, but the third way!

This gave him the feeling that another village is bright in the dark. Sure enough, if you never forget it, there will be echoes!

Seeing that Shenzi was happy, he became even more happy, holding this unique hand pressure drill in his hand and smirking aside, Fu Jiang slipped over from nowhere, wagging his tail and jumping around blindly. I have completely forgotten the mistakes I made before...

Han Cheng walked back to the cave with his newly made tool for drilling wood for fire, and called Huo Yi, who was taking care of the fire there, to let him watch him dig wood for fire.

As soon as Huo recovered, this might have something to do with the fact that after Han Cheng's arrival, the living standard of the Qingque tribe had greatly improved, which strengthened his resistance, otherwise she might not survive this time.

Not only did the prickly heat on her body not disappear, but it 'exploded' due to continuous sweating, and she kept scratching while squatting there looking after the flames.

"You come."

Han Cheng put the burning tinder on the ground and stomped it out, then pointed to the hand press drill and told Huo Yi, signaling Huo Yi to do it.

Huo 1 and Huo 2 are old, and unlike witches who often do mental work, the two of them are not strong enough to accept new things. Up to now, they can understand a lot of Mandarin, but they can't speak much.

Huo Yi seemed a little excited and a little afraid of this novel method of making fire, he hesitated for a while, and followed Han Cheng's words, took over the hand press drill and started to do it like Han Cheng.

It's just that in Han Cheng's lame hand, the hand-pressed drill seemed very smooth, but in Huo's hand, it couldn't be smooth. Either the drill pipe was crooked, or the drill pipe ran out of the wooden pit, or turned around. Got stuck within two laps...

Huo Yi seemed very cramped, wanting to return this thing to Shenzi again.

Han Cheng waved his hands with a smile, knelt down and taught Huoyi patiently, demonstrating from time to time, and sometimes teaching by hand.

Han Cheng had dealt with the old people a lot in the past, and he could understand their feelings very well. Moreover, Huo Yihuo Er Er has been silently contributing to the Qingque Tribe, so he is naturally more patient.

"fire Fire!"

Under Han Cheng's tireless guidance, Huo Yi finally lit the tinder with this new tool, and shouted excitedly.

Drilling wood to make fire is a physical job, and the old Huo couldn't do it long ago. Occasionally, after the fire in the fire extinguished due to accidents, other people in the tribe were needed to dig wood to make fire.

At this time, using Shenzi as a manufacturing tool, she can actually drill wood to make fire, and she doesn't feel too tired. It would be strange if she was unhappy.

Huo Yi screamed excitedly, watching the flame on the tinder go out, very reluctant to part with it.

After the flame on the tinder was completely extinguished, she got another ball of tinder, and then used a hand drill to drill wood to make fire, as happy as a child who got a new toy.

After two more fires were born, the excited Huo 1 went to call Huo 2, who had kept vigil last night and was now sleeping.

Huo Er was woken up by Huo Yi's shaking, and he didn't know what Huo Yi meant in a daze. He just felt that Huo Yi seemed very excited, as if he had something good to share with him, so he followed with sleepy eyes, watching Huo Yi. One does strange things.

When he saw the flame appearing under Huo Yi's actions, Huo Er, who was originally sleepy, became sober all of a sudden.

She pointed to the flame, then pointed to the auger, looked at Huo Yi in disbelief, and said in a whimper, obviously eager to know what was going on, why Huo Yi could ignite a fire?

Huo Yi, who was extremely distressed before, showed a smile on her face, and she was very satisfied with Huo Er's reaction.

As an expert, she began to tell Huo Er all this with the attitude of someone who had experienced it.

Huo Er turned his head around half a circle, but he couldn't find the figure of Shenzi, so he gave a salute to the inner cave.

Then Xiang Huoyi expressed that he also wanted to try and learn this way of making fire.

Huo Yi was naturally very happy. Seeing Huo Er's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help feeling a sense of superiority in her heart, and then she began to use what she had just learned from Shenzi to teach Huo Er...

The long-lasting flames of the tribe cave were extinguished. The people in the tribe who were used to this already felt that something was missing, and many people were still a little inexplicably flustered.

After this situation continued for several days, it gradually disappeared...

At the beginning, most people in the tribe did not agree to put out the fire. After all, the fire had been burning all year round since they were born.

It wasn't until Huo Yihuo Er, who had concentrated on practicing the technique of drilling wood for a few days to make fire, came out and quickly drilled out the fire with the new fire drilling tools, that the doubts in their hearts dissipated a lot...

Up to now, the people of the Qingque tribe have gradually gotten used to the thing without a fire, because whenever it is time to cook, either the first fire or the second fire, they can quickly get out of the fire and never delay cooking. Food, everyone's life will not be affected, they will naturally accept this matter.

The prickly heat on Huo Yi Huo Er, who was liberated from this incident, gradually began to dissipate.

The two people who were used to taking care of the fire seemed very uncomfortable at first, feeling like they had nothing to do, and always felt that something was missing.

But their feeling quickly disappeared, because their son of God gave them a spindle...
