A guide to surviving in the world of beasts
Chapter 5: Drilling wood to make fire
Wash the fruit shells that Hu Yi brought back, take half a shell and water back to the cave, and come down to get the rest later.
Su Ling still hadn't forgotten his bird fluttering on the ground, and Tiger Wing took it over and reminded him, "This kind of cuckoo has a lot of feathers and bones, so it's not delicious."
Hu Yi frowned and carried the Cuckoo Beast. Su Ling was a female with no fighting power, so she could only catch the Cuckoo Beast that no one wanted to eat. However, her body did not allow her to find food that females liked. Thinking of this, her face became even colder.
"So this is called Gugu Beast. Is it not tasty? We don't have anything else to eat right now. I'll try to make it first. If it doesn't taste good, I'll find something else." Su Ling looked at the Gugu Beast in Hu Yi's hand in confusion. Not tasty? That's not possible. Is it because of the wrong cooking method?
Hu Yi didn't say anything else after hearing that. It was better to eat something bad than not eat it at all. He was just afraid that Su Ling didn't know that she had worked hard to make it and might not want to eat it. After that, he didn't say anything else and returned to the cave.
Hu Yi picked up stones and built two simple stone stoves for boiling water. He didn't say anything and helped quietly. At this time, he realized that Su Ling wanted to boil water, and then he found out that something was wrong.
"Well, Su Ling, we don't have any fire, so we can't make a fire." The fire in the tribe has to be looked after by someone specifically, for fear that it will go out. He has been eating raw food these days and didn't notice the problem for a while.
"Fire?" Su Ling slapped her forehead. Yes, before she put away her flint, a wild beast came.
Hu Yi was frustrated when he saw her like this. The glimmer of hope that finally appeared was about to fly away. He did not forget to comfort Su Ling, "It's okay, we will go back..."
"I lost my flint, and I can't find any here. I can only make fire by drilling wood together. I'll go get the tools ready.
What is a flint? What is fire-making by drilling wood? Hu Yi looked confused. Seeing Su Ling go out, he followed curiously.
She picked up a piece of dry wood and a fresh branch, sharpened one end of the branch with a stone, and returned to the cave. Su Ling explained to Hu Yi what it meant to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Seeing that Su Ling's palms were red from drilling, but she hadn't gotten angry yet, "Let me try."
Su Ling looked at her hands, then at Hu Yi who was obviously feeling unwell, and thought she could try again, but Hu Yi had already taken the stick.
Su Ling had no choice but to give up her position. In the first few strokes, Tiger Wing didn't control the strength well, but then she got used to it and smoke rose in a few minutes.
"It's okay, it's okay." Pour the sparks into the kindling, blow gently, and soon the fire will start.
Hu Yi was stunned when he looked at the fire. It was really magical that a fire could be made in this way. The fire in the tribe was given by the Beast God. Only the Beast God could do this, right? No, it wasn't the Beast God, it was this female named Su Ling who did it. Hu Yi looked at Su Ling with sharp eyes.
Why did she say she didn't remember anything, but she knew the magical method of making fire that no one in the tribe knew? When I thought about her saying that it could heal my wounds, I couldn't help but believe her. No matter where she came from or what she hid from me, as long as she didn't do anything that would harm the tribe, it would be fine.
Su Ling had no idea that she was being suspected and was concentrating on boiling water.
Without gauze to clean the wound, Su Ling reluctantly offered her tank top, tore it into several pieces, and put them into the pot to boil with the thistle.
Thistle juice can kill bacteria and disinfect. Using this water to clean wounds can prevent bacterial contamination.
The yellow mud around Tiger Wing's wound has been cleaned up below, and the medicine can be applied as long as the wound is cleaned.
The cotton cloth was boiled in boiling water for a few minutes, and then the firewood in the stone stove was removed. When the water temperature dropped a little, Su Ling took the cotton cloth out of the water, wrung it dry, and cleaned Hu Yi's wound.
After the wound is treated, apply crushed thistle juice, use the remaining cotton cloth to bandage it, and wrap the thin vines around the waist several times.
"Done, just be careful." Looking at the bandaged wound, Su Ling was quite satisfied.
He handed the warm dandelion water to Hu Yi, "This is for reducing fever. Drink it and have a good sleep. I'll call you when the food is ready."
Without a bowl, it's like drinking medicine with a pot in hand, which is a bit funny. In the absence of tools, I can only make do with what I have.
Hu Yi looked at Su Ling's suppressed smile and didn't understand why. He raised the dandelion water and drank it all. "Thank you. Remember to take care of the injury on your knee."
Hu Yi had never seen a female like this before, she was still thinking about others even though she was injured.
There are fewer females than males in the orc world, so as long as the females want something, the males will help them find it, so they don't have to worry about it.
Hu Yi was feeling groggy now and didn't say anything more. He hoped that this strange herb could really cure him, otherwise it would be useless no matter how much he said now.
After seeing everyone fall asleep, Su Ling simply bandaged her knees and began to prepare the first and only meal of the day. It made her sad just thinking about it.
It was not convenient to use water in the cave above, and Su Ling had difficulty walking, so she took the cuckoo beast to the water's edge, made a fire there, boiled water, plucked its hair, cleaned it, and brought it back to the cave to stew it.
In order to take care of the patient, Su Ling stewed the cuckoo beast soup and divided it into two pots because there was more meat and the pots were smaller.
There is no seasoning, just stew it. The meat has been blanched in water, so all you have to do is stew it.
On the way, Su Ling chiseled a hole in the big fruit that Hu Yi brought back, and milky white juice flowed out. She couldn't help but take a sip. It was sweet and delicious, so she poured some of it into the stew with the meat.
Hu Yi woke up to the smell of meat. The orcs' food was either roasted or boiled, and it didn't taste very good. It could only fill his stomach.
In the harsh environment of the orc world, being able to fill their stomachs is already the orcs' biggest wish, so how can they ask for the taste?
He felt that his body was no longer as hot as before he took the medicine, and the wound did not continue to deteriorate. This realization made Hu Yi a little excited.
If the orcs knew this method, the casualties among the people in the tribe would be greatly reduced, especially the herbs for treating fever.
"Are you awake? How do you feel? The meat is already stewed and can be eaten soon." Suning greeted him when he saw him wake up.
"Much better, thank you, Su Ling." Hu Yi walked over and thanked Su Ling sincerely.
Originally he thought he was hopeless, but unexpectedly the Beast God showed mercy and allowed him to meet a female named Su Ling in his last days.
"You're welcome. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. So there's no need for us to thank each other. Come and eat something." He said as he handed Hu Yi the chopsticks.
Hu Yi looked at the two wooden sticks handed to him, confused. What were they used for?
"Oh, this is called chopsticks, and they are used to pick up food when eating." He said this while instructing Hu Yi how to use chopsticks.
