Douluo's eternity

Chapter 7 Drilling wood to make fire

After Jack thought for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I know the surname of each family in Holy Soul Village and how many people there are, but there is no family named Tang that you are looking for."

Hearing this, although Qiangu had already been mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed and said, "Okay, I understand."

Looking at Qiangu, Jack didn't understand why and turned his attention to Yuxian.

Yu Xian sighed and said, "Sir, this friend of mine lost part of his memory for some reason. We came to Holy Soul Village this time to help him find his lost memory." As he said that, Yu Xian Told Jack in detail about Qiangu.

Jack nodded after hearing this and said, "That's it, kid, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Qiangu nodded. Although he didn't really lose his memory, he was still very moved.

Soon, the two followed Jack home.

Jack opened the door, found two stools for the two of them to sit on, and said, "Now I am the only one with old bones left in the house, and it has become a lot more deserted."

"I usually go to your Uncle Jed's house for dinner now. I haven't prepared much food at home. You guys sit down for a while and I'll make you something to eat." With that, Jack turned around and entered the kitchen.

Yuxian and Qiangu stood up quickly and said, "Master Auntie, we already ate when we came here, so there's no need to bother."

"Okay, I'll get you some water." With that said, Jack walked into the kitchen and came out after a while carrying two glasses of water.

Yuxian and Qiangu thanked each other and took the water glasses.

Jack also found a stool, sat opposite Yu Xian and Qiangu, and asked, "Xiao Xian, is your grandma okay?"

Yuxian smiled and replied: "Grandma is very good. She cooks for me every day. She likes to sit at the door and bask in the sun. She often talks about mom and dad." At this point, Yuxian seemed very powerless and sighed.

"Xiao Cheng hasn't been home for two years, right? Your Uncle Jade met them last time when he went to the city, and they are fine now." Jack comforted.

Yu Xian nodded and said: "My parents send money back home every month, but in fact, my grandma and I don't need that much money at all. I prefer them to keep it for themselves instead of sending it all back to us." us."

Jack said kindly: "Who is a parent who doesn't feel sorry for his or her children? Although they don't go home, they still love you very much. If not forced by life, no one would want to be separated from their children."

"I know." Yuxian lowered his head and said.

Jack and Yu Xian chatted for a while longer. Yu Xian looked at the sky. The sun had already set, leaving only a little bit of the setting sun.

Seeing this, Yuxian stood up and said, "Master, we are going back. Grandma is still waiting for us at home. I will definitely come see you when she has time."

Jack also looked at the sky. It was indeed very late, and it would be dark in a little while.

"Okay, then come and visit me more often when you have time. Because of your Uncle Jade's affairs, I can't go to your Yujia Village. If you come next time, I'll bring your grandma with you."

"Yeah." Yuxian nodded vigorously.

"Then let's go. Goodbye, auntie." With that said, Yu Xian walked out the door.

"Pay attention to safety on the road and ride slowly." Jack reminded from behind.

"Yes." Yu Xian nodded and answered, then led the horse and walked out of the village.

Qiangu followed Yuxian, and not far away, Yuxian suddenly stopped, turned to look at Qiangu, and asked: "Qiangu, do you want to walk around the village? Maybe..."

Qiangu shook his head gently and said, "No, let's go back."

"Okay then." Yuxian turned around and continued walking forward.

After walking out of the village, the two got on their horses and galloped towards Yujia Village.

But as soon as the two of them walked not far away, the sky suddenly darkened. Yu Xian, who was running in front, looked at the sky worriedly and said, "Oh no, it's going to rain. Qiangu, we have to hurry up."

"Yeah." Qiangu agreed and followed closely behind Yuxian.

But what they didn't expect was that as soon as the two of them ran not far away, drops of rain fell from the sky, and then a heavy downpour fell.

With no other choice, Yuxian had no choice but to take Qiangu to find the nearest straw shed to take shelter from the rain.

At the same time, Yuxian's grandmother and Jack stood at the door of their house, watching the sudden heavy rain, both worried about their two children.

The heavy rain came without warning, and both Yu Xian and Qiangu were soaked in the water. After arriving at the grass shed built by nearby villagers to rest, Qiangu quickly took off his coat, wring out the water in it, and then shook it hard a few times. Then he put it back on.

But when he turned his head, he saw Yu Xian, who was shivering from the cold.

Yuxian didn't wear much when she went out. Now that her clothes were soaked, they clung to her body, revealing her slim figure. Qiangu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After a while, she came back to her senses. .

Qiangu shook his head and put aside those things he shouldn't be thinking about, took off his coat and put it on Yuxian.

Yu Xian looked at Qiangu in surprise, but Qiangu just smiled slightly, then walked to the side and found some hay placed in the hay shed, as well as a few useless wooden stakes.

Put these things in the center of the straw shed, and put them on a wooden stake. Then he took out the wooden stick he found, and then took out a piece of relatively dry wood. He pressed the wooden stick against the wood and rubbed it with his palms. Move the wooden stick, and the wooden stick keeps spinning. .seven

Yu Xian looked at Qiangu's behavior curiously and asked puzzledly: "Qiangu, what are you doing?"

Qiangu replied while busy: "This is called drilling wood to make fire. Just wait for a while and it will be ready in a while."

Qiangu was full of energy and kept beating the stick, and the end of the stick that was pressed against the wood gradually became rounded, and little bits of smoke came out.

Seeing this, Qiangu worked even harder.

After 5 minutes, the smoke at the top of the stick became thicker, but there was still no spark.

After another five minutes, Qiangu's hands were all red and a little sore.

He angrily threw the wooden stick aside, took out the lighter from his trouser pocket, and with a click, a flame rose and lit the hay.

Qiangu wiped the sweat from his head, placed the prepared wood on the hay, and quickly started burning it.

"Come and warm yourself by the fire." Qiangu said, moving a wooden pile to Yuxian.

Yu Xian curiously looked at the lighter in Qiangu's hand, pointed at it and asked, "Qiangu, what is this you are holding?"

Qiangu raised his hand and looked at the lighter and said, "This is a lighter. I bought it for ten yuan. I was going to take it back to light mosquito coils, but unexpectedly it was brought here."

"Lighter?" Yu Xian asked curiously.

"Well, it's a small tool for making fire. It's very convenient." Qiangu explained.

Then, he asked curiously: "By the way, Yuxian, how do you usually make fire here?"

Yuxian replied: "We usually use flint."

"Flint?" Qiangu wondered.

Yu Xian explained with a smile: "It is a kind of stone. When rubbed, sparks will appear. We usually use this, but sometimes it is very difficult to make a fire. If you are not careful, you may hurt your hands."

"Oh, that's it." Qiangu said, handed the lighter in his hand to Yuxian, and said: "Then I'll give you this. I'll use this to make fire in the future. This is very safe, and the iron one won't break."

Yu Xian looked at the lighter in Qiangu's hand and refused: "This must be very expensive, I can't have it."
