Chapter 4: Drilling wood to make fire

Li Ming still has experience in drilling wood to make fire. After all, he experimented with it when he was bored when he was a child.

Li Ming went to pick up some branches and came back. One of them was used as a bottom pillar and the other was used as a tool.

Of course, he had to sharpen the end of the wood drill to make fire, but Li Ming didn't have a knife, so he could only find two stones and collide with each other.

One of the stones was broken into pieces and split into two. The broken part was very sharp and could be used as a knife.

Su Yan looked on from the side with a trace of doubt and even disbelief in her eyes.

"Li Ming, are you trying to drill wood to make fire?" Su Yan asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Li Ming replied calmly.

In a place like this, without any tools, one can only make fire by drilling wood.

"How could it be possible..." Su Yan looked unbelieving and pouted beside her.

"Just watch carefully." Seeing that Su Yan didn't believe him, Li Ming insisted on proving it to her.

It is indeed difficult to drill wood to make fire, especially for Li Ming who has no tools.

Li Ming found some hay, and later relied on drilling wood to make fire to get sparks, and licorice would be useful.

Li Ming arranged the wooden sticks on the base, then found a stone and made an opening in the middle, so that he could easily drill the wood to make fire.

I inserted the branch with the sharpened end and found that it went quite smoothly.

In this case, Li Ming tried to spin twice, and then began to speed up.

‘Zi Zi’

The friction of wood made a sound, and as Li Ming accelerated, the sound became more and more obvious.

Su Yan next to her stared closely, as if she wanted to see if Li Ming could really make fire by drilling wood.

Li Ming rubbed his hands very quickly, and under Su Yan's gaze, a trace of white smoke came out of the small mouth.

Li Ming saw hope and quickened his pace.

Rubbing hard with both hands, more and more white smoke comes out.

Seeing that it was almost done, Li Ming quickly stopped, then took away the wooden stick and poured the sparks into the hay.

Li Ming began to blow hard, and the sparks became more intense with the wind, and then slowly burned in the licorice.

White smoke first emerged from the dry grass, more and more, and then turned into a ball of fire.

Li Ming was overjoyed, so he quickly placed the small burning fire ball on the ground, and then added the branches.

Su Yan looked at this scene in disbelief and covered her mouth with her little hands.

"Wow! You are so awesome!"

"It's okay." Li Ming was sweating, but still said modestly.

Li Ming quickly picked up the clothes, folded them in half, squeezed out the water, and then put them by the fire to bake.

Su Yan came over cautiously, and then asked in a low voice: "Can I warm up by the fire together?"

Li Ming glanced at Su Yan and saw that her body was shaking a little and seemed a little cold, so his eyes changed slightly and he said, "Okay."

"Thank you!" Su Yan's eyes were filled with joy and she immediately thanked her.

"Take it." Li Ming threw his clothes to Su Yan.

Su Yan's head was instantly covered by clothes. Su Yan quickly took off the clothes, and then said as if I was very angry: "What are you doing!?"

"I asked you to warm yourself over the fire, are you obligated to help me dry my clothes?" Li Ming said calmly.

"I...Okay." When Su Yan heard this, she felt a little dumbfounded. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was the truth that she couldn't take advantage of others for no reason, so she could only reluctantly agree.

"Your... I won't help you with that." Su Yan glanced at the last piece of equipment on Li Ming's body, and then said with a flushed face.

"Did I ask you to help?" Li Ming said with a half-smile.

"ah!"

When Su Yan heard this, her face turned even redder and she felt extremely shy inside.

It turned out that she was overthinking it.

Li Ming did not continue to tease Su Yan, after all, the current situation was not very optimistic.

Although there is fire, it is very difficult to survive here without food and fresh water.

Li Ming found a branch, then went to the beach and drew a giant sos according to the route.

Although I know there is little hope, I still hope in my heart that someone will come to save me.

I looked up at the sky, the sun was very bright, and my stomach growled inappropriately at this time.

Gulu gulu.

Already hungry, Li Ming had to spend time looking for food.

Since he was living on a deserted island, the easiest food to find on the beach was coconuts, so Li Ming planned to search along the beach to try his luck.

Su Yan stayed where she was, helping Li Ming bake his clothes and drying her own clothes at the same time.

On the other side, Li Ming found coconut trees along the beach, and there were several trees growing in the same place. It seemed that he was lucky.

Li Ming took a look at the height of the coconut tree. It was five or six meters high, but it was not very thick, so it should be relatively easy.

Li Ming was ready to give it a try. After all, coconuts should be the easiest food to obtain on a desert island, and they were also one of the early sources of water resources.

"Bah!"

Li Ming geared up, rubbed his hands, took a deep breath, then hugged the coconut tree directly, and slowly climbed up.

Li Ming still has some experience, so climbing a coconut tree is relatively easy.

Soon, Li Ming climbed up to the coconut tree, looked down and saw that it was quite high.

However, this height did not scare Li Ming, so he picked two or three and threw them away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two or three were enough, and he couldn't take more, so he slowly came down from the tree.

The temperature is unusually high, especially on a desert island. Li Ming is already covered in sweat.

Pick up three coconuts, hold them in your arms, and return the way you came.

Su Yan had already taken off her clothes, wearing only her underwear, and was baking by the fire.

Su Yan had to pay attention to her surroundings at all times. After all, this was a deserted island and she would encounter danger if she was not careful.

At this time, Su Yan couldn't help but think of Li Ming.

On an unknown desert island, only men can make women feel safe.

"Isn't he not coming back?"

Su Yan couldn't help but talk to herself, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in her heart.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded.

Su Yan raised her head in panic, but when she saw that it was Li Ming, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Unknowingly, she already trusted Li Ming a little bit.

Seeing Li Ming still holding a few coconuts in his arms, he couldn't help but get up quickly.

But then she remembered that she was not wearing any clothes, only her underwear, so she screamed and quickly squatted down again.

Li Ming was confused by Su Yan's behavior. Aren't you still wearing underwear? Is it necessary to make such a fuss?

Li Ming slowly stepped forward, placed the coconut on the ground, then picked up the branch next to it and threw it into the fire.

The fire is already a bit small, and if we don't add branches, it may be extinguished.
