Chapter 1 Drilling wood to make fire
"Help! Help—!"

In a dark and dense jungle, I saw a young man in his twenties running crazily forward, his delicate face became distorted because it was full of fear.

And the sound of "rustling" coming from the lush grass and bushes not far behind him is like a shadow, and it is getting closer.

The young man seemed to have already felt something, dense beads of sweat had already oozed from his face, his physical strength seemed to be exhausted, his footsteps gradually slowed down, and despair began to appear in his eyes.

But at this moment, a ray of light appeared in front of the young man, and he couldn't help being refreshed. Although he didn't know what that ray of light represented, he still used up the last bit of strength in his body to move towards that crazily. A light ran away.

Seeing the bright light in front of his eyes, he suddenly stumbled and heard "Ouch", he fell forward and rolled several times, before he stopped, a bright light hit his eyes, he subconsciously squinted his eyes.

However, this ray of light is not the way to heaven, nor does it represent the dawn of escaping from heaven, it is just an ordinary sun, and he just came out of the jungle, no, he should have rolled out of the jungle.

It was too late, and then soon, there was a sudden noise in the grass, and a roar was heard immediately, and a huge gray-haired beast with two long fangs flew out of the grass and rushed towards the young man. .

"what--!"

The young man yelled in horror.

Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the young man felt a flash of white light passing in front of his eyes, hitting the beast with fangs above him, and heard a painful cry, the beast with fangs seemed to be hit by a powerful force and flew back suddenly .

The young man who escaped death seemed to be exhausted, lying on the ground weakly, gasping for breath, suddenly felt that his eyes darkened, as if something was blocking the sunlight, he used all his strength to move his eyes upwards , vaguely seemed to see a shirtless man staring at him indifferently.

"help me.!"

He tried his best to raise his hand, but quickly put it down, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.

"what!"

And when he opened his eyes again, what caught his eyes was a wrinkled old face, and it was so close at hand, he was as frightened as a frightened girl, and yelled.

"what!"

His sudden scream seemed to have frightened the old face, and he opened his mouth wide to follow suit. While screaming, his trembling body retreated sharply, staggering, and almost fell to the ground several times.

Only then did the young man see clearly that this person was an old man who looked like seven or eighty years old, with a gray beard and hair, the color was like snow, and there were some bone ornaments in the fluffy and messy hair, and the withered white hair swayed like a pendulum. His eyes are sunken, but he is energetic, his face is rosy, his old eyes are piercing, his upper body is naked, and he wears a "short skirt" around his waist, which is actually a piece of simply sewn animal skin. He has two long legs Flapped outwards, as thin as a stick, the ribs protruding from both sides of the cloud may be able to play a beautiful melody, holding a dead wood stick in his right hand, which matches his figure very well.

Before the cry came to an end, the young man faintly heard a rushing sound under his feet, subconsciously lowered his eyes and swept away, and couldn't help screaming again, it turned out that there was a young boy squatting under his feet, he looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was also in loose clothes The hair is thick and black, and the eyes are pure and flawless, black and white are distinct, and they are extremely agile.As the boy ran forward, he secretly looked back at him. Unlike the old man, the boy's shining eyes were not filled with fear, but full of curiosity.

"Who are you?"

As soon as he spoke, the young man suddenly felt unable to move. He looked down and realized that he was tied to a big tree by a vine. He couldn't help being surprised and angry, and raised his head: "Who are you, why are you—— !"

Halfway through the conversation, he stopped abruptly.

The young man's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of horror, looking ten steps away in front of him.

Dozens of people were quietly watching him, including children and girls, women, old people, and strong men.The children are almost all naked, and the men are mostly wearing a piece of animal skin or leaves to hide their ugliness. In comparison, the old man just now seems to be well dressed, at least it looks like an extremely simple one. Short skirts, it's not a big deal, the key is women, there are quite a few women who are also topless, and of course, some are wrapped in animal skins.

They also wear a variety of jewelry, but all are made of bone.

"Have I come to an African tribe?"

After a long while, the young man came to his senses, murmured to himself in disbelief, and his heart skipped a beat, "No, they don't look like black people. Could this be the uncivilized American Indians? That's not right either. , They are neither wide noses and protruding eyes, nor high noses and deep eyes, and their hair is also black, they are clearly yellow people like me."

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that monster, or that strange jungle, "Could it be——!" A flash of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his eyes suddenly fixed on one place, which was a stone spear in the hands of a strong man. , "Could it be - could it be - that I have come to the primitive age." Thinking of this, he kept shaking his head and muttering to himself: "Impossible, impossible, I should go back to Song Dynasty, how could I Will come to this primitive society——, no, no, God, this joke is really impossible——!”

As he spoke, he suddenly became extremely emotional and struggled desperately, "Let me go, let me go, I'm going to Dasong."

Obviously, he couldn't accept everything in front of him.

However, there was deathly silence around him, which made him feel a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. When he took a closer look, he couldn't help but feel terrified. He saw three or five strong men holding stone spears at him indifferently. , the tip of the gun is not sharp at all, but it exudes bursts of murderous aura, which is frightening.

On the contrary, those children seemed to be frightened by him, hugged the adult's thigh tightly, just squinted, looked at him secretly, and turned their little faces away when they saw him, fear and curiosity intertwined.

And although the three-five-year-old strong sweat pointed the gun at the young man, his eyes were all on a fat old woman in the middle. The old woman also had silver hair and looked to be five or sixty years old. Ci Xiang is also the one who wears the most among these people. In addition to the lower body wrapped in a fur skirt, the upper body is also wrapped in a fur jacket, at least you can't see anything you shouldn't see.

The old woman stared at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Who are you? Why did you break into our territory of Black Stone Valley?"

The young man was surprised when he heard it. How is her language—how is it similar to mine?This is impossible. If this is the primitive era, it doesn't make sense for her to have such an advanced language, or this is not a primitive society at all.Unavoidably, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and at the same time calmed down, he pondered for a while, and said word by word: "My little brother's name is Li Qi, he came from the east, but he got lost on the way and came here." here."

Although the languages ​​between them are very similar, there is still a big difference in pronunciation, which is a bit similar to the different dialects between the two provinces in later generations, so the young people deliberately speak slowly for fear that they will not be able to hear clearly.

The old woman frowned slightly, but she didn't make a sound, as if she was thinking about something.

Li Qi didn't know if she understood or not, but he had no time to care about this now, so he immediately asked, "Where is this?"

"This is Black Stone Valley!" said the old woman.

"Black Stone Valley?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, who asked you this, and asked again: "I would like to ask again, what is the era now?" While speaking, his expression was extremely nervous.

"Year?" The old woman was taken aback for a moment, and asked curiously, "What is an era?"

The eyes of the young man were filled with disappointment. She didn't even know the meaning of age. It seems that I have come to a primitive society, but why are our languages ​​so similar? Could it be that our language was born in the Stone Age?It's just incredible.Wait, I still seem to be shouldering a heavy responsibility, no matter where I am now, I must first live, I must live.He took a deep breath, raised his head, and asked the old woman, "Why did you tie me up? I didn't mean any harm." But he thought in his heart, with so many of you, I think it's hard to be malicious!
The old woman suddenly looked at the old man.

"It's terrible! It's terrible!"

The old man was still trembling there.

Did I scare him just now?No way, it's obvious that he frightened me, and he came close to me after growing up like this, and I woke up from a coma again, how could I not be afraid of that!Forget it, there are so many of them, so it's just me scaring him.

This person has to bow his head under the eaves!Li Qi explained in a gentle tone: "Old man, I was scared by you just now. In fact, I am not scary at all. I got lost in the woods and was chased by wild animals. If I was scary, I would be scared by wild animals." Do you faint after chasing it?"

After hearing this, the old woman whispered a few words to the old man.

The old man looked at Li Qi back and forth from bottom to top, and his sunken eyes suddenly revealed a pure look, as if seeing the young man's kind face at this moment, he felt that he was not scary anymore, thinking After a while, he finally nodded to the old woman.

The old woman said to Li Qi: "I can let you go, but you must leave our territory immediately."

"Okay. Huh? Get out of here.?"

Li Qi was overjoyed when he saw that the other party was willing to let him go, but before the joy came to his mind, he couldn't help but think to himself, if this is the primitive era, what is the difference between asking me to leave and asking me to die? They don't even have weapons, and sooner or later they'll have to feed the beasts anyway, standing here are at least the same kind, and they speak exactly the same language, no, I can't leave now, at least until I figure out what's going on.She smiled flatteringly and said, "Can you do me a favor and take me in, I... I am now homeless."

"No!" The old woman looked resolute, "If you don't leave immediately, I will kill you first and throw you out of our territory according to the rules of our Blackstone Valley."

Wow!The old lady looked kind and amiable, but she was so cruel that she would kill people at every turn.Li Qi finally understood the difference. If he left, he would still be close to death, but if he stayed, he would definitely die.Obviously, he was unwilling to choose both, and his eyes suddenly rolled around. Since everyone is human, then everything will remain the same, and he said: "Nah, na, otherwise, I would not live here for nothing. I can help you with your work—by the way, I'm actually a cook."

"What is a chef?"

"Uh, I know how to cook, delicious meals."

"What is food?"

"This—that is, I can cook all the food you eat." Li Qi was sweating profusely as he explained. Although the language was shared, the other party couldn't understand because of the many words. It was still very difficult to communicate.

The old man said: "Food is for eating, not for cooking."

Li Qi, who was stunned by these words, almost fainted, said: "Food is for eating, but it can also be divided into delicious and bad. Cooking is to make food more delicious." As he spoke, he felt that these Primitives may not be able to understand, and said: "Let's put it this way, the prey you bring back must be roasted before eating. This is cooking!"

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone looked at Li Qi in shock.

Li Qi felt hairy in his heart when they saw him, "Did I say something wrong again?"

The old woman suddenly asked in an unbelievable tone: "You can make a fire?"

"Make a fire?"

Li Qi opened his eyes, and saw the rest of the people looking at him in shock, thinking to himself, could it be that the current cooking skills are still at the stage of lighting a fire.Thinking of this, he almost didn't laugh out loud, but then the smile subsided, and he thought, wait a minute, there is no fire, and I don't know how to make a fire!

fire?fire?Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and the only finger that could move a little bit secretly rubbed the side of the trousers a few times, his eyes gradually showed confidence.He nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I know a little bit about how to make a fire."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd, in twos and threes, communicating in low voices, with unbelievable gazes in their eyes.

The boy squatting at Li Qi's feet just now suddenly rolled his eyes, and quietly ran to the old woman, whispering something in her ear.

This kid is a bit weird, you have to be on guard against him.Li Qi glanced slightly, and secretly cheered up.

After hearing this, the old woman nodded slightly, and then communicated with the "well-dressed" women around her, who also nodded after hearing this.

The old woman suddenly said, "Rong!"

"exist!"

Hearing an extremely thick voice, I saw a strong man with a body like a hill, a steel-like complexion, but a very simple and honest appearance, coming out from the back.

Seeing this person, Li Qi couldn't help but take a breath, I'll go!What kind of monster is this?

The old woman said: "If you can start a fire faster than him, we may let you stay."

Fortunately, the competition is about lighting fire, not martial arts, otherwise, I would still be able to leave!Li Qi looked left and right, and said, "Well, you tied me up, I can't make a fire."

The old woman thought carefully for a moment before saying: "Let him go!"

Rong, who was as tall as a hill, stepped forward immediately, but his eyes were full of disdain, and he had no fear of Li Qi at all.

Li Qi understood his disdain very well, and thought to himself, if I had such steel-like chest muscles, I could also ignore everyone with smaller breasts than mine, including women.

Na Rong came behind the tree, and after a while, there was only a crackling sound.

Li Qi felt his whole body loosen, and his arms felt numb. He couldn't help but rubbed his hands together. By the way, he lowered his head and looked at himself. He found that his clothes were still there. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Quite qualified, although they were naked, they didn't strip me naked.Looking back again, he found that there was no sharp weapon in Rong's hand, and thought to himself, could it be broken?This is impossible, right?
The old woman asked, "Can we start now?"

Li Qi was stunned, nodded hurriedly and said, "It's almost there! Brother Rong first."

The old woman looked at Rong, who nodded confidently.

Li Qi saw it all, and thought to himself, if I haven't read the book, in this primitive age, isn't it just drilling wood to make fire, or blowing fire to make fire, it takes a long time, how can I light a fire, you are now arrogant, Don't cry later.

I saw a man walking over with two logs in one hand and some withered grass in the other, and handed them to Rong respectfully.

Li Qi saw the two logs, one was thick and the other was thin, and the end of the thinner was sharpened, so he felt even more disapproving. Isn't this the starting method of drilling wood to make fire?He pursed his lips, but his expression was still very humble, and he quietly looked at the other party pretending to be aggressive.

Rong squatted down, knelt down on one knee, first put the thick log on the ground, and then covered it with dry grass, leaving only a small hole.

Those children gathered around one after another, their eyes wide open, full of expectation.

Li Qi secretly disdains, it's just a fire, what about you?But he pondered for a while, and immediately understood in his heart that it must be difficult to make fire in this primitive age, so human beings are full of respect and yearning for fire, and these children are so excited.

After getting everything ready, Rong held the thin wooden stick between his hands, put the pointed end on the thick wood, and rubbed his hands back and forth slowly and vigorously.

Could it be an embroidered pillow?With friction at this speed, it would be impossible to light a fire even when it was dark!Li Qi secretly rolled his eyes, but then his eyes protruded and his mouth opened wide.

It turned out that Rong rubbed it for a while, and suddenly rubbed his hands back and forth vigorously. Although the thin wood was free from his hands, it stood on top of the rough wood and rotated at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. After only a moment, the thin wood The stick began to sink slowly, while a cloud of powder floated up and revolved around the thin wooden stick at high speed.

Suddenly, there was a soft whistling sound.

The tongue of fire suddenly rose, and the pile of dry grass immediately ignited.

The children around immediately raised their little hands, twisted their buttocks, and sang and danced around the fire, singing "la la la" with joy on their faces.

"Drill—drill—wood—take—take—get fire."

Li Qi's jaw seemed to be dislocated, he couldn't close his mouth wide open, and his voice was so trembling that he couldn't hear it clearly!
