Everyone looked at the object in Zhuo Ye's hand with curious and inexplicable expressions, not knowing what this small, square, flat metal object was.
"Everyone, come and collect some firewood. I have a way for everyone to eat cooked food." Zhuo Ye said to everyone. She held a zippo lighter in her hand and sighed inwardly. She was a little worried about how to explain this thing.
Should we continue to say that the origin of the name is passed down from our ancestors?
When Zhuo Ye thought of this, he couldn't help but pull out a faint, self-deprecating smile...
"You mean, you have a way to light a fire?" Lian Qin asked in disbelief.
"Yeah." Zhuo Ye nodded: "I have a way."
When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise and joy.
Lian Qin and Lian Xiao looked at each other. Although they were still a little confused, they also knew that under the current situation, Zhuo Ye would not joke with them.
Lian Xiao nodded immediately and said: "Okay, those who have recovered some strength will go with me to collect firewood. Those who are still weak can continue to rest where they are."
As soon as Lian Xiao finished speaking, Lian Qin, Wu Wei, Lian Xiao's two subordinates, and a sailor all stood up and walked into the woods.
"Wait a minute." Zhuo Ye suddenly stopped them again: "On the way to the lake, I saw a lot of birch trees. You can get some birch branches and birch bark, which ones are easier to ignite." This heavy rain.
Just after that, everything was wet. It was impossible to find dry firewood, so we had to find some flammable trees for firewood.
This is why Zhuo Ye did not naively suggest "drilling wood to make fire", but decided to take out a lighter. You must know that the ancient method of "drilling wood to make fire" requires flammable dry wood to be used as a drilling board, which is hard.
This can only be done by using dry wooden sticks as drill bits and dry dead leaves and moss as fire starters. Their current conditions obviously do not allow this.
Lian Xiao paused when he heard the words, turned around and smiled charmingly at Zhuo Ye: "Miss Zhuo is indeed a knowledgeable person..." After that, without waiting for Zhuo Ye to say anything else, he and a few people walked to the place where they passed by.
Walking through a birch forest...
When the Lian brothers, Wu Wei and others returned, they not only brought back a lot of firewood, but also hunted some pheasants, hares and other game.
After everyone set up the branches, they all looked at Zhuo Ye.
Zhuo Ye took a breath, picked up a piece of birch bark with one hand, and held a lighter with the other hand. He opened the lid of the lighter with his thumb, then slid the roller with his finger, and heard a "prick" sound, and the lighter
A small flame suddenly burst out!
When everyone saw this, everyone was so shocked that their eyes almost popped out! A few sailors who were not strong enough in concentration opened their mouths wide, with shocked and dumb faces on their faces...
Zhuo Ye ignored their surprised expressions, pursed his lips slightly, put the birch bark over the flame, and tried his best to light it...
The birch bark was too wet, and after lighting it for a long time, it just kept emitting green smoke, and it couldn't burn well!
Lian Xiao was the first to recover from the shock, stretched out his hand to Zhuo Ye and said: "I'll do it..."
When Zhuo Ye heard this, he let go of the hand holding the bark. Lian Xiao held the birch bark in his hand. He secretly used his inner strength. In a moment, hot white mist emanated from the bark.
Come out, wait for the white mist to dissipate, the bark is still dried!
Zhuo Ye was surprised and envious in his heart. The internal strength of this ancient martial arts practitioner was really powerful! With just one palm like this, he could probably be used as an electric iron!
Lian Xiao dried five or six pieces of birch bark before helping Zhuo Ye light the fire.
"Girl, what on earth is this...this thing in your hand? It's so magical!" Qiao Ling finally couldn't help it and was the first to ask.
After hearing Qiao Ling's question, the others also looked at Zhuo Ye curiously.
"Uh...it's just a hot topic..."
"Huo Zhezi?" Qiao Ling frowned and said, "Why have I never seen such a Huo Zhezi?"
"Well...it's just that the appearance is more exquisite, in fact, there is nothing special..." Zhuo Ye said perfunctorily, but he was secretly embarrassed in his heart, what a high-end "Huozhezi"...
"Is this 'Huozhezi' also your 'ancestral' inheritance?" Lian Qin raised his eyebrows and asked coolly.
"Yes, yes... Haha..." Zhuo Ye replied with a smile. Naturally, she heard the narrow-mindedness in Lian Qin's words, but she could only bite the bullet and agreed...
After Zhuo Ye finished speaking, she ignored everyone's eagerness to try and stuffed the lighter back into her travel bag. She didn't intend to show them one by one. She couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly. She couldn't explain it like a mobile phone.
Make up some kind of mysterious monk, Taoist priest or the like! Just thinking about it, she felt very embarrassed...
Lian Xiao looked at Zhuo Ye's movements and couldn't help but flash his eyes, and then said: "Since there is already a fire, quickly clean up the game and roast it."
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Ye hurriedly handed the folding knife to Lian Qin.
Lian Qin took it and took a few people to collect the game by the lake. She slaughtered it while the others peeled the skin, plucked the hair, and removed the internal organs.
Zhuo Ye, Qiao Ling and others skewered the remaining fish on clean branches and grilled them first.
Not long after, bursts of rich burnt aroma spread out, making everyone swallow their saliva.
When the game was only about half cooked, a group of people were waiting and couldn't wait to start eating. After exhausting their energy in the sea and starving for two days and one night, everyone almost vomited their gastric juices and bile.
Everything was clean, and now there was finally food that could be eaten. Everyone couldn't help but wolf it down like a competition.
Among them, Lian Qin eats the most boldly, while Lian Xiao eats the most elegantly...
"Well... when you are too hungry, you should not eat too full, as it will hurt your stomach. Eat until you are 80% full first, and wait until you are full for a while before continuing to eat." Zhuo Ye couldn't help but remind him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lian Xiao nodded and smiled.
After hearing what Zhuo Ye said, the others also slowed down their swallowing movements. Now, Wu Wei, Qiao Ling and several sailors have become convinced of Zhuo Ye, and they all consciously believe that her words are
Yes.
Lian Qin is more interested in Zhuo Ye. Now she really wants to know how many treasures she has never seen hidden in Zhuo Ye's strange package! She is also more curious about her origin...
As for Lian Xiao, he knew that the woman in front of him was different, more special than all the women in Tianshuo! His love for her was getting deeper and deeper, and his desire to catch her and keep her by his side also made him want to catch her and keep her by his side.
It's getting stronger...
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Lian Xiao ordered a few people who were still in a state of exhaustion to rest where they were, with Qiao Ling taking care of them.
Several other people who had recovered their physical strength quickly were divided into groups and looked for dry places to spend the night on the island.
In the morning, Lian Qin just walked around briefly and did not investigate carefully. Everyone knew that they might not be able to leave this island for a while. It was too humid here and the sea breeze was very cold at night. If not
In places that are dry due to the wind, people with weak constitutions can easily get sick.
Zhuo Ye didn't expend much energy at sea. He was just knocked unconscious by the waves. When he first woke up, he felt a headache. Now that he felt better, he insisted on exploring the situation on the island with everyone.
Seeing her insistence, Lian Xiao agreed to her request, but put her in a group with him, euphemistically saying: her body has not fully recovered, and she does not know martial arts. If there is any emergency, he can easily take care of her.
…
Several groups of people walked in different directions, Lian Xiao and Zhuo Ye headed west...
"Ouch..." Zhuo Ye accidentally tripped on a cane and almost fell down.
"Ye'er, be careful!" Lian Xiao hurriedly reached out to support Zhuo Ye and pulled her into his arms.
"I'm fine, you can let me go." Zhuo Ye struggled to leave Lian Xiao's arms.
Lian Xiao was reluctant to let go, pinched her waist with his big hand, smiled evilly, and said scornfully: "Ye'er, you are too thin, please make up for it when you go back." The woman was slender and her body was thin.
Although the shape is graceful and beautiful, it is said that giving birth will be very painful...
When Zhuo Ye heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows! This guy's romantic habit has happened again! Is this the so-called "feeling warm and lustful"?
"Let go!" Zhuo Ye said angrily.
Seeing that Zhuo Ye was angry, Lian Xiao quickly let her go and touched her nose with some pity.
"From now on, you should still call me the same way you used to call me." Zhuo Ye frowned. After saying these words, she suddenly felt that her tone seemed too harsh. In the sea, someone saved her life! So she softened it a bit.
With a look on his face, he added: "Or just call me by my name."
"You don't like me calling you Ye'er?" Lian Xiao looked at Zhuo Ye, his expression suddenly became serious.
Zhuo Ye pursed her lips lightly and did not answer. Feng Linge called her this because she regarded him as a friend at that time. Feng Linche called her this, she was powerless to resist that domineering man! And Lian Xiao, she was really
I don’t want to stir up any ambiguous rumors with this man who has a lot of love affairs...
"Since you don't like me calling you that, then I'll change my tune." Lian Xiao tilted his head, and after thinking for a moment, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes and said with a smile: "How about 'Xiao Ye'? Or 'Ye Ye'?"
Hmm... It seems that 'Ye Ye' is good, intimate and smooth..."
When Zhuo Ye heard this, he immediately trembled, frowned and said, "Can you stop being so disgusting?!"
"Calling you 'Miss Zhuo' or calling you by your first name is too harsh. I don't like it. I'll just call you 'Ye'er', 'Xiao Ye' or 'Ye Ye'. You choose one and I'll listen to you."
." Lian Xiao said very generously.
"You!" Zhuo Ye glanced at Lian Xiao's evil and rogue handsome face, and snorted: "Boring!"
"Since you don't choose, then I can choose?" Lian Xiao said with a smile, "Just 'Ye Ye', I like to call you that."
"No!" Zhuo Ye firmly refused! He felt goosebumps all over his body!
"Then it's 'Xiao Ye', that's it!"
Zhuo Ye glared at Lian Xiao, said nothing, raised his feet and continued walking forward...
"Xiao Ye" was always more acceptable to Zhuo Ye than "Ye Ye". She couldn't explain to him and was too lazy to waste any more words.
