let go of that priestess

"Combustion, right?"

Looking into the girl's eyes, Ji Cheng knew that what she was asking was not a question of making fire by drilling wood and friction to generate heat, but a new question.

He cleared his throat and said: "When combustible molecules and oxidant molecules come into contact with each other, a violent chemical reaction occurs under certain conditions of temperature, concentration, and pressure, and a certain amount of light and heat are released. This is the phenomenon of combustion that is commonly seen. .”

"This....... I don't understand." The girl's eyes were confused: "I can understand friction and heat, but I don't understand this at all."

"Of course." Ji Cheng shrugged: "You have a lot to understand and learn from the sentence just now, take your time."

"Would you like to teach me?"

"Of course I would. In fact, if you want to learn, I would like to teach you."

Ji Cheng spread his hands: "If you want to rebuild civilization, it is absolutely impossible to rely on one person's brain."

"what?"

The girl was startled: "What rebuilds civilization?"

"It's nothing, it's too troublesome to explain, just look at it now."

Ji Cheng pointed to the bonfire and said, "We have got the kindling, the next step we have to do is to find something to roast and eat to fill our stomachs."

"Ah...you wait."

When mentioning Tinder, the girl thought of something, interrupted Ji Cheng, her face turned red, she seemed a little shy.

But the next moment, she looked up at what Ji Cheng continued to say, but she didn't mean to be shy at all, instead she behaved very naturally:

"I want to be your wife."

"Ah? Ah!?..."

"you forgot?"

Seeing his reaction, the girl reminded: "As I said before, if you get the tinder, the best choice for me is to be your wife.

But for you, do you feel there are better options? "

She paused and continued: "After all, I'm only beautiful, not strong, and can't do much work.

Although there are only two of us in the new tribe now, you can also find a strong woman to join the tribe and marry her in the future.

But even so, I still want you to think about it.

I am indeed not strong, but I can be your guide now, and I was a priestess, so I am very knowledgeable.

Another person might not be able to communicate as well as me. "

Chapter 6 Dingdong Eggs

The time machine is gone, and I can't go back by myself.

In other words, my future destination will eventually be here...

.......

Listening to the priestess' super-free self-promotion, Ji Cheng couldn't help but start thinking about the major events in his life in the future.

Thinking about it in my mind.

Then... the heart beat.

It's hard not to be moved by a man!

After deliberating for a while, he looked up at the girl and said:

"Actually, what you just said was wrong...

For me, it is definitely more important for a woman to be beautiful than to be strong, I don't like girls with strong muscles..."

"Eh?"

"Yes, that is to say, besides the benefits you said to me, I also like your appearance very, very much..."

"Oh."

The girl blinked, feeling that Ji Cheng's concept was a bit strange.

Don't like strong women?Same as God.

But she didn't get too entangled, and said happily after hearing the words: "Then what you mean is that you agree!?"

"No...no, at least now you can't be my wife..."

Ji Cheng refused the girl with great difficulty, feeling like a eunuch who said this!

But now there is no way:

"You don't quite understand. I came from another world. Although I have done first- and second-level biological filtration, although there are humans, the sun, and the moon here, which are similar to mine, they are not mine after all.

I have no protection now, so I can only be forced to come into contact with everything in this world. It seems that I am fine at the moment, but biological filtration may not guarantee that I can still contact you at a negative distance...

Cough, in short, for safety reasons, we need to get along for a while longer before I can... make a decision. "

"For safety? Get along for a while longer?"

The girl looked at Ji Cheng thoughtfully, she didn't know what to think of, she paused, looked away and nodded, and didn't mention the matter of his wife again.

She squatted down, lay down in front of the campfire, and expertly picked up a few logs and fiddled with it.

The flame crackled softly, and the girl stared at the flame seriously, while carefully adjusting the angle of the wood, she said:

"I know a few collection points nearby that can take you to collect food.

Although the place is barren, if you are lucky, you can still find food for the two of you.

It's just that the speed is faster, the campfire is unattended, and it doesn't burn for a long time. I will try to let it burn for a long time. "

"Yeah." Ji Cheng replied, observing the way the girl fiddled with the bonfire.

Three thinner logs leaned against a large log that served as a support.

The bottom ends of the wood are gathered together, and the upper ends slope outward, forming an inverted pyramid structure.

Placed in this way, the bottom end will slowly slide down under the action of gravity when it is burned out.

That is to say, the bottom will always gather together to keep the bottom fire burning continuously.

The method is very professional, more than a little better than Ji Cheng who only has theoretical knowledge, and she is worthy of being the priestess who has been taking care of the tribal fire for a long time.

He nodded and said, "The burning time like this is about 1 to 2 hours?"

"what?"

The girl adjusted the wood, raised her head, and didn't understand: "1 to 2 hours?"

"Uh... a unit of time."

Ji Cheng thought for a while before saying, "I heard you just said that we have to hurry up, which means...the period of time before the bonfire goes out, isn't it too long?"

"of course."

The girl added some firewood around the bonfire, stood up and said, "Once the tribe goes out to collect, it will take at least half a day."

"Oh."

You see, this is indeed true for primitive tribes.

"Okay." Ji Cheng asked again: "Then what do you usually collect?"

"Now there are only dates and berries. Wait for the hotter weather to pick figs, wait for the leaves to turn yellow, and pick olives and pears when the weather is cooler."

The girl casually talked about several kinds of fruits, and walked with Ji Cheng into the forest while talking.

But I didn't hear Ji Cheng's response after leaving, I felt a little strange, when I looked back, I saw his brows frowning slightly.

"what happened?"

"Ah...it's nothing, it's just the names of these fruits and the corresponding seasons that make me a little concerned.

Well, nothing. "

Ji Cheng seemed to be convincing himself in his heart, after a while he shook his head and continued: "The fruit is good, but I still want to eat some meat."

"Huh?" The girl was surprised when she heard the words: "What did you say?..."

"I said I still want to eat some meat, so that I can have strength."

"Meat..." The girl was sure she heard correctly, and said helplessly:

"We don't have stone axes and spears, and there's nothing to hunt here."

"Uh, no?"

Perhaps the prey the girl mentioned were mammals in the forest, such as red deer, and the number of rabbits was very small.

Ji Cheng hadn't seen it until now.

But along the way, the birds in the forest kept singing.

He pointed to the tree in surprise and said:

"Aren't these the prey?"

"Dingdong eggs on the tree?" The girl was stunned for a moment, shaking her head:

"Dingdong eggs can fly and are difficult to catch. Throwing stones and hitting them with a lot of tribesmen can hit one occasionally, which is not worthwhile at all.

The tribe has given up hunting these, and the two of us can't eat them. "

"Eh!? Wait!"

Hearing this, Ji Cheng stared at the girl slightly: "You said those winged creatures on the tree are called Dingdongdan!?"

"correct."

The girl didn't know what Ji Cheng was surprised about, and explained: "Ding Ding and Dong Dong combine to form a ball, which is called Ding Dong Dan."

"Ha! What a good name! It's very vivid~"

Different nouns appearing for the first time!

Ji Cheng didn't laugh at this funny name, he was startled for a while, and then he was greatly relieved.

If the birds on the tree were classified into different categories and called species, he really couldn't convince him that it was all a coincidence.

Although he himself didn't know what he was nervous about, but anyway...

"Dingdong egg is good! Dingdong egg, eat it today!"

"I said you won't be able to eat it..." the girl muttered, "You will be wasting your energy."

"That's not necessarily the case." Ji Cheng touched the grass skirt he was equipped with, estimated the length of the rope wrapped around his waist several times, and said:

"Try it first. If we catch it, we can have a meal of meat. The physical effort will be worth it."

"..." The girl stared at him and remained silent.

"You don't believe it?" Ji Cheng shrugged: "Hey, speaking of which, if we eat diced eggs, is it a miracle?"

"This..." The girl frowned lightly, hesitated and said, "On the barren land, if you can eat meat, it will naturally... be regarded as a blessing from the gods."

"oh, I see."

While walking, Ji Cheng observed the various birds on the tree that he could not name, and after a while, he pulled the girl in front of him.

"Wait a minute, stop for a while, let's dig a few worms first, just those birds... no, the kind of worms that Dingdongdan eats.

Come on, come help me, maybe you will see another miracle~

By the way, have you ever named this bug?Do earthworms know? "

"Earthworm? I don't know."

The girl shook her head and stopped.

She pondered over the word "miracle" that Ji Cheng just said, thinking about the bonfire that was lit before, her eyes flickered, she didn't refute anymore, she paused and asked:

"Why dig bugs?"

"Make a simple trap and use bugs as bait."

Ji Cheng said as he untied the grass skirt around his waist, pulled out the rope, covered the big baby with one hand, and said with a slightly red face:
