Chapter 134
The moment the lid was opened, a crisp "ding" sound attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Xiaomi was holding a small golden thing in her hand. It lit up with a "hiss" and then lit it on the pile of firewood with a little kerosene added. The fire immediately jumped up.
"Wow!" Butcher Jiang took a bite of the pancake and said vaguely, "This is the first time I've seen wet wood burn so quickly! What good stuff did your father give you? Let me see it."
"It's really a good thing, a lighter from the vassal state!" Jiang Xiaomi spoke without a word, holding the lighter and handing it to Jiang the butcher. Jiang the butcher took a look and was a little afraid to move: "Why is it this color? Is it gold?"
Oh my goodness! How much does this cost?
"Of course not! Who uses gold to make a tinder? It's made of copper." Chrome-plated copper.
The copper-handled butcher Jiang dared to move. He patted the crumbs on his hands and took it: "Hey, it's really beautiful! It looks like gold!"
"What are you saying?" Hunter Jiang patted him and laughed at him: "Have you ever seen gold?!"
Among the farmers, except for the Jiang family, who has ever seen gold? It is good enough to see silver.
"Is it okay if I saw it in my dream?" Jiang the butcher didn't get angry. He fiddled with it and asked, "How do you use this, Xiaomi? I just saw you light the fire very quickly, without even blowing!"
"Like this, use your thumb to push here. Yes, push! See, it lights up, right?"
The kerosene lighter would not go out even if you let go of your hand, but Jiang the Butcher and the others were not surprised at all, because an ordinary fire stick would not go out even if it was blown.
A group of men played with a lighter for half a day.
Although Scout Zhang did not join in, he was watching secretly.
I sighed in my heart - this Lord Jiang, worthy of being the one who came back from the capital, is full of good things!
There are tents and lighters.
Even if he was in a hurry, he was living a better life than his parents...
After a day's journey, Jiang Xiaomi yawned and put away her lighter: "Uncles, go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. Try to get to Niuyiling before dark."
It took six or seven days to get here because the route was unclear, but there were marks on the return journey, and Scout Zhang said that it would take two days at the fastest and three days at the slowest, so we would definitely get there.
But saving lives is something that should be done sooner rather than later.
"Okay, you and your mother should go to bed early. I will arrange two people to keep watch." said Jiang the Butcher.
In the wild, fire is as important as food and water, but under such weather conditions, ancient fire starters were obviously not safe, so Jiang Xiubai urgently provided two kerosene lighters.
The temperature in the mountains is low and it is raining, so the fire must not be extinguished. Moreover, many wild animals have a natural fear of fire and will not approach it easily. Even if they do approach, they will quickly notice it.
"Are you cold?" Jiang Suying used half of the quilt to cover her daughter. Jiang Xiaomi pulled it closer and was about to say she wasn't cold when she suddenly heard a wolf howl. It was a little far away and she sat up immediately: "Uncle Hunter, is there a wolf?"
"Yes! Several wolves are howling!" Hunter Jiang didn't take it seriously at first, but then he thought of the little girl's lack of experience, so he comforted her, "Don't be afraid, your uncle is here! You can sleep peacefully, the wolves are several hills away from us! They can't get over!"
Jiang Xiaomi was not at all reassured. She began to get anxious out of habit. After much thought, she finally placed knife after knife around herself and Jiang Suying, on both sides, above her head, under her feet, and on her sides, to ensure that if she woke up when she encountered danger, she could just raise her hand to grab a weapon.
"I was so afraid that the wolf didn't come, but I was stabbed to death in my dream by the knife you set there." Jiang Suying was speechless. Which good person would sleep surrounded by knives?
What’s scary is that some of the knives don’t even have sheaths, and are so clearly visible, with the sharp blades exposed. I wonder if they are clamoring for blood?
"No!" Jiang Xiaomi moved the two knives without sheaths to her side: "I can't sleep otherwise!"
Jiang Suying: "..." I can't sleep like this...
The next night, they did not reach Niuyiling as planned, so they had to camp outdoors again. No wolves or tigers howled that night. Jiang Xiaomi just slept with two knives in her arms. When she woke up in the morning, both sides of her cheeks were covered with marks from the knife handles.
"Mrs. Jiang, our camp is ahead!" Scout Zhang said happily, pointing ahead with his arm hanging.
finally reached!
Jiang Suying's smile was uglier than her crying.
It's just tiring.
This body is slightly plump.
Carrying more than 110 kilograms of weight and walking a long distance...
Whoever is tired knows...
"Grandpa!!"
Unexpectedly, before she reached there, she suddenly heard a sharp cry of pain from afar. It penetrated her eardrums and went straight to Jiang Suying's brain. She almost ran away instinctively!
Jiang Xiaomi immediately followed with a medical kit on her back.
