"By the way, do you want to come with me?
We'll be back soon, "Qin Hua asked.
Little Fishy thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, but we have to come back soon. If we're late, the tribesmen will be worried."
"Okay, don't worry. We'll be back soon," Qin Hua said.
The evening was not as hot as the day, and it was very comfortable to walk on the path. The air of this era was especially refreshing.
Qin Hua carried nearly three kilograms of pork belly in his left hand and a stick that was about 1.5 meters long and slightly smaller than his wrist in his right hand. He had picked up this stick at the entrance of the cave.
Although this was a tribal gathering place, Qin Hua could not guarantee that there were no dangerous animals wandering around. As the saying went, with a gun in hand, there was no need to panic. The stick in his hand now gave him a certain sense of security.
Fortunately, the stream was not very far from the cave. It was only about a hundred meters away, and this distance was considered safe. It was also a place where the tribesmen often played.
However, Qin Hua did not go to the stream to wash the meat. Instead, he was going to look for something flammable. Qin Hua could not eat raw meat with traces of blood. Whether it was for health or taste, Qin Hua was prepared to eat cooked meat, or barbecued meat.
In this era, not everyone could master the technique of starting a fire. Since Qin Hua had come to this world, he naturally had to spread his knowledge. Whether it was for status or for the greater good of humanity, he would selflessly contribute.
"Hua, aren't we going to wash the meat?
Why are we here? "Little Fishy asked curiously. At the same time, she looked at the depths of the forest with some fear.
It was easy to find flammable plants here. After all, this was a deep forest, and there were all kinds of plants.
Pine needles, leaves, and dry twigs were all good flammable objects. Not long after, Qin Hua collected several kilograms of pine needles and a large number of dry twigs. Of course, at this time, Little Fishy turned into a coolie and helped to carry these things.
As for the firewood, there was no need to worry because there was a lot of dry wood at the entrance of the cave. When they went back, they could just bring it in.
Finally, Qin Hua found a very large tree stump. It looked very dry, but the inside was already rotten and had a lot of debris. This was a very good thing. As long as it came in contact with a spark, it would quickly smoke. Then, it would succeed with care.
Seeing that he had collected enough flammable plants, Qin Hua said to Little Fishy, "Let's go back."
Upon hearing Qin Hua's words, the originally listless Little Fishy immediately perked up and began to walk back.
This place was only about a hundred meters away from the cave, so it was still very safe. The two of them safely returned to the entrance of the cave.
After that, Qin Hua carried a large pile of firewood and entered the cave.
As for what Qin Hua and Little Yu 'er were doing outside, the others did not have the patience to ask. Instead, they glanced at the two of them.
After entering the cave, Qin Hua placed the wooden stake on the ground and clamped it tightly to prevent it from moving. Then, he found a wooden stick that was as thick as a ham sausage. It was very smooth and easy to hold.
Little Fishy looked at Qin Hua curiously, wondering what he was going to do.
Qin Hua was very happy that Fishy was curious. He was afraid that Fishy was not curious. As long as Fishy was curious, he would learn from him how to drill wood to start a fire.
Then, Qin Hua dug a small hole that was a few centimeters deep in the rotting wood. The size was just enough to fit the drill wood in his hand. There was still a little extra space.
After the hole was dug, Qin Hua put some pine needles in the hole. In fact, he stuffed them in.
Pine needles were the leaves of pine trees. They were very thin and slightly pointed. Pine needles were covered in pine oil. Once they were ignited, they would not be so easy to put out.
After everything was ready, Qin Hua put the drill wood in his hand into the wooden hole.
Then ~
Qin Hua quickly rubbed the drill wood. The speed of his hands was very fast, and it didn't take long for his hands to slowly heat up. However, the flammable material below did not have the slightest reaction. Qin Hua was not disappointed. Drilling wood to start a fire was not something that could be done so easily. It required a certain amount of patience and perseverance.
At this time, the others also saw Qin Hua's movements. They saw Qin Hua's hands constantly rubbing the wooden stick. They did not know what he was doing, but they guessed that it was for fun.
Fortunately, this body was very strong. After a minute, Qin Hua saw a trace of smoke coming out of the hole. This time, Qin Hua moved even faster. He could not stop now. Otherwise, the temperature inside would quickly drop and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
The people around also saw the smoke coming out of the hole. However, they did not know what it was.
At this moment, the pine needles below turned red in an instant, which meant that they were burning. More pine needles turned fiery red, which meant that they were charcoal, but there were no flames.
The others also cried out in shock, saying, "Fire, fire."
After Qin Hua saw that there was already a fire, he immediately stopped drilling wood. He gently blew on the fire with his mouth and added oxygen to the fire, making it burn quickly.
With a puchi, the fire strung together and instantly lit up the dark cave.
This was incredible. The whole snake tribe saw Qin Hua rubbing his hands to make a fire. They were all shocked. Everyone knelt down in front of the fire and kept kowtowing, as if they were praying for something.
However, it was a little strange that Qin Hua was standing next to the fire. In other words, everyone was kowtowing to Qin Hua.
This made Qin Hua a little unprepared. He did not know how they would deal with him.
In the beginning, Qin Hua wanted to use the fire to roast the meat and let them worship him. However, he did not consider what they would do if they saw that he could make a fire with his hands.
Seeing that the fire was about to go out, Qin Hua did not care so much. It was not easy to make this fire. He could not let it go out like this.
Qin Hua took a handful of pine needles and put it against the fire. In an instant, it was burning. He then put it on the ground and added a large number of pine needles and dry small branches. This time, it was a success.
This piece of wood could not be burned like this. It would be useful next time. Otherwise, Qin Hua would not have moved the fire.
At this time, everyone watched Qin Hua's step-by-step operation. This attracted the attention of the "shaman".
Qin Hua was a little embarrassed to be watched by so many people. However, his hands did not slow down. Qin Hua put the streaky meat on the fire and slowly roasted it. He also ordered Little Fishy to help add more firewood.
The first time, Little Fishy was a little scared, but the second time, she was much better. Not long after, Little Fishy got used to the fire and was no longer afraid. However, her heart was filled with worship for fire. Of course, she worshipped Qin Hua even more.
Not long after, the smell of meat filled the cave, making the tribesmen's throats squirm.
"Hua, come over here." A dignified voice sounded in Qin Hua's ears.
Qin Hua looked up and saw that it was actually the "shaman". Under the light of the fire, an unknown feather on the "shaman's" head shone with five colors. It was very beautiful.
At this time, Qin Hua had no choice but to go over. This was the "shaman" of the Snake Tribe. In terms of power and prestige, he was even higher than the chief of the Snake Tribe.
"Shaman, why are you looking for me?" Qin Hua asked softly.
The shaman did not answer Qin Hua. Instead, he pointed at the fire on the ground and said excitedly, "Did you make this?"
Yes, I rubbed it out.
After saying this, Qin Hua looked at the shaman.
