After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

This is the driest part of her body.

Zhou Fang wanted to use her own body temperature to dry it continuously, which was considered a kind of "preparation work"

The wood now feels almost completely dry.

So she planned to make one more attempt to make fire by rubbing two sticks together before it got completely dark.

"Chichichichi..." After many failures, the palm tree fire-making base, which was originally like a flat plate, now has a relatively deep groove.

This groove actually has a special use.

It can accumulate fuel chips and increase the temperature until it burns when drilling wood to make fire.

Zhang Liu and others, who had already abandoned the method of drilling wood to make fire and started using pyrite to make fire, did not know this.

Zhou Fang and others, who had failed nearly a hundred times, also didn't know.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have drilled holes one after another next to the groove.

To be precise, the last ten times people have drilled wood to make fire, none of them drilled inside this groove.

Nearly a hundred failures were not in vain.

In fact, they have already accumulated the possibility of success for the four girls who are in urgent need of heat source.

But no one has found this way.

Until today, Zhou Fang accidentally inserted a branch of suitable material and thickness into the groove in the right location.

As she rubbed the wooden stick repeatedly with her palm, she also felt something was wrong.

Because this time the smoke from rubbing two sticks together to make fire seemed to appear particularly early?

"Gu..." Zhou Fang subconsciously wanted to call someone over, but immediately stopped talking.

She had already vaguely anticipated that she would succeed this time!

However, considering the recent change in Song Shuyao's attitude towards her, Zhou Fang, as the head teacher, wanted to "surprise her quietly"

So she continued to rub her hands back and forth in silence.

As for the expectation of watching the fire-making process by rubbing two sticks together, Song Shuyao and the other three had already gone from full of expectations to calm indifference.

Because they have failed too many times.

At present, everyone's daily fire-making has become a kind of "knowing that they are working hard"

So when Zhou Fang kept spinning with a squeaking sound and looked at the smoke coming out with surprise on his face.

The three of them were already eating the fruits that had been piled on the shelves for a day.

Until a pungent smell of smoke reached Song Shuyao's nostrils.

She was suddenly puzzled.

As a "veteran" who failed in making fire

Song Shuyao had smelled a lot of smoke, and several of them were caused by her own hands.

But she had never smelled smoke so thick before.

Song Shuyao turned her head subconsciously, with half a mouthful of egg yolk fruit still in her mouth, and saw clearly what her head teacher was doing. Her eyes were suddenly filled with disbelief.

Because what Zhou Fang had in his hand at this moment was a ball of banana tree bark fibers that was constantly emitting thick smoke!

"Shuyao, this egg yolk fruit is so disgusting..." Zhao Yiran, who was wrapped in a bath towel, was still lamenting the change in the taste of the egg yolk fruit.

But then Song Shuyao pulled her hard.

Turning his head blankly, after seeing Zhou Fang's behavior clearly, Zhao Yiran's expression suddenly became dull.

"What's that smell?" Gu Xixi had already smelled the smoke, so she turned her head and asked in confusion.

But when she saw the orange-red light that suddenly appeared in Zhou Fang's hand, she immediately exclaimed: "There's fire!"

Pour the red ash into the banana bark fibers that serve as fire starter; start blowing; the red burning marks begin to spread along the banana bark fibers like a circuit diagram; the smoke decreases and flames appear.

This series of steps was completed within a few minutes, so Zhou Fang was in a daze at the moment.

Because she had never expected that it would be so easy to make a fire this time.

Chapter 30: The Girl Who Wants to Score a Second Score (Monthly Ticket Plus Chapter 44)

Even though the flames had already ignited the entire bunch of banana tree bark fibers, Zhou Fang, who was still in a state of disbelief, still did not react.

She even couldn't think of asking Song Shuyao to come over and take a look.

It was not until her fingers were burned by the flames that Zhou Fang reacted due to the physical pain.

"It's so hot!" She screamed and threw the ball of fire to the ground.

Under the blank gazes of two girls, a flight attendant, and a teacher.

The burning ball of fire fell directly to the ground, breaking into tiny sparks.

It did not go out, but fell to the ground in a scattered state, and then continued to burn, but the fire was much smaller.

And there was nothing near the fire that could serve as subsequent fuel.

After leaving the banana leaf shed that protected us from the rain, the surface outside was either damp wood or soaked branches and leaves.

Because the hope of starting a fire was slim, even Zhou Fang, a person who took the initiative to live her life, only prepared a pile of dry banana tree fibers as a fire starter.

Nearly a hundred failure experiences made her not consider the follow-up problems at all.

Everyone realized this now, but when they looked around, all they could see were wet roots and branches soaked in rain water!

"Swish..." Just when the small flame on the ground was about to go out, Song Shuyao suddenly realized that the palm fur clothes on her body could also serve as fuel for temporary burning.

She took off the entire piece of clothing from her chest to her chest and held it close to the fire.

As the palm tree fibers at the bottom were ignited, the fire began to spread gradually along the clothes.

Zhou Fang and others also quickly collected drier branches from nearby and placed them on the palm leaves that had turned into a small fire to stabilize the fire.

After some twists and turns.

Zhou Fang, Song Shuyao, Gu Xixi, and Zhao Yiran finally have their own fire!

Sitting beside the fire in a daze.

Song Shuyao was topless at the moment, but she didn't care at all.

At this moment, Song Shuyao had only one confused thought in her mind.

That is...

Why is there suddenly a fire in front of me?

For her, this time of making a fire was filled with a sense of unreality from beginning to end.

It was as if she was sharing a bland egg yolk fruit with her bestie Zhao Yiran one second, and the next second a bonfire was placed in front of her.

And it burns brightly...

He turned his head to look at Zhou Fang, Zhao Yiran and Gu Xixi, who were also staring at the fire in a daze with a sense of unreality in their eyes.

Then Song Shuyao suggested in a low voice: "Should we bake something?"

Bake something?

Song Shuyao's suggestion seemed to be a reminder to everyone.

But when they looked around, they couldn't find anything suitable to heat over the fire.

"Let me try this."

In the end, it was Zhao Yiran who took the lead in inserting an egg yolk fruit with a branch, and then placed it on the fire and roasted it over a low fire.

Seeing her behavior, others including Zhou Fang followed suit.

Although the taste of roasted fruit is somewhat special, it is hot!

Compared to Qin Ruoyan and others, they have transformed the fire into an earthen stove and placed an alloy pot on it to cook.

The fire Zhou Fang and her friends had was indeed rather crude, and could even be considered to be of little use.

But a fire is a fire.

As a representative of civilization, it can bring unprecedented confidence and calmness to Zhou Fang and his three companions who have been lost on the northern beach of the deserted island for 66 days.

After agreeing to keep watch over each other tonight to prevent the fire from going out.

Zhao Yiran and Gu Xixi, who were in charge of the night watch, also fell asleep slowly beside the campfire for the first time.

Zhou Fang and Song Shuyao, who were in charge of the first half of the night, looked at each other.

At this moment, Zhou Fang's eyes suddenly showed a bit more "teacher's majesty"

Song Shuyao's face was filled with some "student admiration"

....................................

The next morning, Zhang Liu lay on the hammock and stretched out his body.

Because the fire was so big, it even burned a large area of ​​nearby moss to a dry yellow color.

Therefore, the air nearby is relatively dry.

And the hammock also allows the body to be completely off the ground.

With the addition of these three BUFFs, he slept very comfortably last night.

At the moment, Zhang Liu feels that his overall mental and physical state has recovered to a considerable extent.

The fatigue and lack of confidence accumulated yesterday and the day before yesterday were also swept away.

Now he is full of enthusiasm again

Getting out of bed and starting a fire, Zhang Liu directly put two meat floss biscuits and a handful of coffee powder into the alloy pot.

Although the taste of cooking in this way will be strange, it is currently the quickest and most effective method.

Yesterday's two consecutive mistakes wasted too much time, so Zhang Liu prepared to eat something and then set off immediately to continue his trek in the jungle.

Try to get out of the moss area today.

At the same time, Zhou Fang and others had built a simple earthen stove using the stones and soil on the ground.

And fill the giant clam shells with fresh water and place them on top to serve as stew pots.

Inside the giant clam shell are three kinds of crushed fruits: egg yolk fruit, snake skin fruit and papaya.

"It would be great if we could make a fire earlier." Zhao Yiran and Song Shuyao sat together, looking at the "fruit soup" bubbling in the giant clam shell in front of them. She suddenly whispered, "I feel a lot more secure now."

Song Shuyao nodded slightly, then she looked at Zhou Fang who was stirring giant clam shells with a branch in front of her and asked, "Teacher Zhou, how did you succeed last night?"

This question has been lingering in Song Shuyao's mind for a long time, and it has been there since last night.

But yesterday, after the fire was fixed, it was almost time for bed.

As Zhao Yiran and Gu Xixi were already asleep, she was too embarrassed to speak and just kept watch with them in silence.

It was not until now that Song Shuyao raised this question.

In fact, her question was what Zhao Yiran and Gu Xixi were also curious about.

As veterans of failed attempts at starting a fire, they both wanted to know where they had gone wrong.

"I don't know either." Zhou Fang smiled bitterly and shook her head. Facing Song Shuyao's question, she answered very seriously: "It just suddenly succeeded."

As she spoke, she also picked up the two-piece fire-making set that Song Shuyao had studied early in the morning and gestured, "When I poked the branch in and rubbed it yesterday, I clearly felt something was wrong, but at that time I thought I would succeed in making a fire first..."

After Zhou Fang explained the whole situation, Song Shuyao picked up the branch of the egg yolk fruit tree, found a cave and started to rub it.

After about half an hour, her arms were so sore that she had to give up drilling the wood in her palms.

"Hey……"

Among the three girls who were watching, Zhao Yiran, who originally thought that Song Shuyao could also make a fire successfully, sighed slightly.

Then she also whispered, "Actually, I have a new idea now. Why don't we continue to make a raft and paddle along the beach?"
