Chapter 5 Drilling wood to make fire

Chapter 5: Drilling wood to make fire

There were fish, shrimps, snails and other creatures in the river. Sang Ning was not in a hurry to pick them up (catch them). Instead, he walked along the river for a short distance and found a suitable location before squatting down and staring at the water with good eyesight.

A palm-sized fish loomed in the water. With quick eyesight and hands, she quickly took the bucket and put it into the water. Then she quickly lifted it up and a lively fish appeared.

The audience's pupils were shocked, but Sang Ning tilted the bucket to the shore as fast as lightning, and the palm-sized fish immediately landed on the ground and jumped up and down happily.

The audience suddenly became nervous, and their hearts almost rose to their throats.

They all sent barrages asking Sang Ning to catch the fish quickly, otherwise it would jump back into the water and the fish would be caught in vain.

Naturally, Sang Ning could not let such a thing happen. She quickly took out the vines picked in the forest from the small vine basket, then quickly and accurately grabbed the fish, pinched open the fish's gills and inserted the vines, so that she would not worry about the fish.

Jumping into the water.

Next, she caught two more fish in the same manner with a bamboo basket, and then gave up. The one who continued to catch fish at the riverside used a dagger to roughly scrape the scales, remove the gills, disembowel the fish, take out the internal organs, clean them, wrap them with leaves, and put them in a basket.

, then after picking up more than 20 large field snails, he started to fetch water from a bamboo tube with satisfaction, and then left with a smile on his face.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaae, 238 is really beyond my expectation. When other players have no clue, she already has a lot of food. It's amazing!"

"I don't understand. It's a well-known fact that fish can be eaten. Why did she pick up that dark aquatic beetle?"

"Maybe it's for boiling water. Although this beetle looks a bit small, more than twenty beetles are enough to boil a lot of water."

"Guess what you are doing, just ask the person in charge and you will know."

Makes sense.

So, Director Luo took action again.

"Contestant No. 238, why are you catching aquatic beetles?"

"eat."

Sang Ning spoke concisely and to the point, and the audience and Director Luo felt that she was a ruthless person who would even eat beetles.

"I'm afraid I can't eat this."

Director Luo heard the reminder.

Sanning smiled and said, "It's edible. People on planet e72 even eat sandworms."

Sandworms are scorpions.

But there are certain differences from the scorpions in Sanning's native world. The scorpions on the original owner's planet are enlarged versions.

Large scorpions that are one to two meters tall and several meters long can be seen everywhere.

On planet e72, scorpions eat people, and people eat scorpions.

When the nutrient solution has been consumed and new nutrient solution has not arrived, the only supplies that humans on Planet E72 rely on for survival are scorpions and thorn vines.

The audience was shocked, can sandworms be eaten?

"I have an idea."

"What a coincidence, I have the same idea as the one above."

"I have already placed an order for a sandworm and am going to try it. I don't know if it tastes good or not."

"Can I just say I want to taste an aquatic beetle?"

"Place an order. I've already placed an order. At worst, I'll follow 238."

“···”

The audience, who got excited just by talking about eating, were unusually calm. They didn't quarrel or curse, and they didn't ask why Sang Ning wasn't dead.

This is a gratifying progress.

At least that's what Director Luo thinks.

It was getting late, and Sang Ning was planning to find a safe place where he could have a permanent residence to plan for the future.

During the three-year survival on the deserted star, a fixed and safe place to stay is very important.

The tree hole I found in the forest was not suitable because it was too close to the river. Once it rained continuously, the water in the river would definitely rise.

She didn't want the home she had worked so hard to settle to be flooded.

So, after looking around, she walked straight towards the rolling mountains to the west.

Mountain forests are equally dangerous, but there are caves.

As long as you take protective measures, it won't be a big problem.

As the old saying goes, if you look at the mountains and run away, the horse will die.

The mountains seemed to be very close, but it took Sanning Leng almost two hours to reach the destination.

At this time, the clothes on her body had already dried under the sunlight, and because her mind was still running, she didn't feel too tired.

I just broke out in a sweat.

Caves are hard to find, and caves suitable for permanent residence are equally hard to find.

Fortunately, Sanning was lucky and found a good cave after wandering around.

This is a cave about four to five meters high. It has good ventilation, no peculiar smell, is open and dry, and contains animal excrement.

But the feces are all dried up.

In addition, this cave is also very concealed. The cave entrance is covered with lush vines hanging down, which can be used as a door curtain.

She divided the vines into two halves and tied them up so as not to block the view. She placed the full cane basket and bamboo basket at the entrance of the cave. Then she used a dagger to cut some branches and vines and tied them into a broom, and carefully swept the cave.

She was very hungry and tired now, but she didn't care about eating or drinking. Instead, she was busy stacking hay and dead leaves in the corner, and then picking up dry branches and so on.

She was so busy that she never stopped for a moment.

The audience was confused and couldn't understand what she was doing.

"Why is she still getting food? If she doesn't eat fish, it will be ruined."

"Why do I feel like she is making the bed, trying to make herself sleep more comfortable?"

"No, shouldn't you fill your stomach first at this time? It's too late to make bed after you're full. I think 238 is a typical case of putting the cart before the horse."

"Maybe!"

At this time, something happened that made the audience even more confused.

Because Sang Ning sat down on the blade, took a dagger and dug a hole in a dead wood two fingers wide, then put the chopped hay in, and then took a branch and put it in the hole.

Holding the branch with both hands, he began to rub it rapidly.

"???"

It’s over, I can no longer understand every move of the 238 contestants.

"Does anyone know what she's doing?"

"have no idea."

"Go crazy."

"Maybe my brain was really damaged by a meteorite."

"I think, probably, I may know what No. 238 is doing."

"Um?"

There was a brief lag in the barrage, and the live broadcast room seemed to be stuck, but soon, the live broadcast room returned to normal.

One barrage after another about what she was doing filled the screen.

"It's most likely to make fire by drilling wood. I'm a student majoring in history at Di Zong, and we are studying human history during this period.

Among them is the chapter about drilling wood to make fire, but because drilling wood to make fire is an ancient civilization that dates back tens of thousands of years, and a large part of human civilization has been lost, the information recorded in history books is not detailed.

Therefore, I cannot be certain whether what 238 did was drilling fire into wood, but based on my subjective judgment, I think she was drilling wood into fire."

Seeing this barrage, the audience in the live broadcast room felt incredible.

"Can fire come out of two sticks? How can I say this? I can't believe it."

"It's a waste of time. I bet 238 is doing useless work. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

"Maybe you can actually drill it out!"
