Chapter 93 Burning Charcoal



After teaching them for a whole day, Meng Yuqing was exhausted both physically and mentally. He wanted to just show them the video directly, but he couldn't.

The videos in the system cannot be shown to them.

The good news is that people in this world do have some talent in combat, and even sub-beasts are making rapid progress.

The fastest learning sub-beasts were almost catching up with Meng Yuqing. He decided to entrust these sub-beasts with important tasks and give them the task of teaching.

And Linghuan was actually among these people.

As for Qiu Ye, he also made rapid progress, after all, Meng Yuqing gave him special training.

After teaching for a few days, in order not to be outdone by those who came later, Meng Yuqing added an extra hour every day to practice archery.

With his secret efforts, he made rapid progress. He now dared to say that if he were to shoot the white-spotted beast now, he would definitely not miss.

Just the day after he assigned the archery task, Xuan came back. This time they were out longer than expected, but the harvest was also very good.

When everyone was immersed in practicing archery, Xuan took Meng Yuqing and the other one out of the tribe.

The two of them shuttled through the woods and Xuan listened to Meng Yuqing's request.

"We need a cleared area without too much vegetation. We'll have to light a fire later, so we don't want to burn the jungle."

"Okay, I know where you'd like to go."

Xuan responded while running.

Soon they came to a stream, not the same stream where they dug clay last time, but a different one.

Xuan stopped and asked, "Can you see here?"

Meng Yuqing looked at the surrounding environment carefully. The area beside the stream was mostly made up of rocks, and the vegetation was not as lush as in other places. He nodded, thinking that if he burned here, at least it would not cause a fire.

He chose a piece of land some distance from the stream.

"Xuan, we need to clean up this area and turn over all the dirt. We'll need it later."

Xuan put him down, and then immediately started digging the ground on the spot. Because he was big enough, he quickly dug out the area that Meng Yuqing needed.

"Is this enough?" Xuan looked at the soil he had turned over.

Meng Yuqing said to Xuan while collecting leaves and grass on the ground as combustion materials.

"That's enough, that's enough. It's just this big. Let's go get some wood."

"Okay." Xuan took him into the woods.

Meng Yuqing walked in front, picking up wood and throwing it into the warehouse. He didn't even need to bend his waist during the whole process, and it looked no different from taking a walk.

Xuan followed him quietly, keeping a vigilant eye on his surroundings.

From a distance, a huge black panther obediently followed a young man wearing animal skins, making people wonder if they had encountered a mountain elf.

It was already summer, and the two of them were walking through the woods, with the natural breeze still bringing a hint of coolness.

The two of them walked and stopped, and soon Meng Yuqing had picked up a lot of wood.

He glanced at the warehouse and nodded, then turned to look at Xuan.

"That's about it. Let's try picking up this much first, and then we'll go back to where we were just now."

Xuan nodded, and went back to the place where they had been digging the soil with Meng Yuqing.

Throwing out all the wood they had picked up, Meng Yuqing stood them up one by one and stacked them into a cone shape. The longest piece of firewood was more than one meter long, so the entire pile was one meter high. He then wrapped the outermost layer with leaves and weeds to help combustion.

"Xuan, let's go get some cans of water." He looked up at Xuan, a smile flashing in his eyes, "We need to make mud."

Xuan froze slightly and looked at him helplessly.

Meng Yuqing fetched two large jars of water from the stream, dug a hole in the ground, poured the water in, and threw the soil he had dug up earlier into the hole to make mud.

This soil is just ordinary soil, not clay. After mixing it, Meng Yuqing began to paste it on the pile of wood piece by piece.

Although he said so, Meng Yuqing didn't call Xuan when they actually started doing it. However, Xuan didn't just stand there and watch. He grabbed a handful of mud with a serious face and imitated Meng Yuqing to paste it on the pile of wood.

Except for a large hole at the top for ignition, eight ventilation holes were dug at the bottom and the work was basically completed.

"Light the fire, and put it in from the top."

Under Meng Yuqing's command, Xuan put the burning branches and leaves on top and stuffed them in.

"We'll focus on the eight holes below. If we see a hole where the fire has spread, we'll plug it with mud."

Meng Yuqing carefully explained the precautions to Xuan, and after making sure Xuan understood, the two of them were responsible for four holes each and began to observe.

The fire spread downwards, and both of them lay on the ground and watched carefully.

When all eight holes were blocked, Meng Yuqing immediately grabbed a large ball of mud and sealed the hole at the top.

After doing all this, he pulled Xuan to the stream and washed the mud off his hands and body with soap.

He took out the soap and held it under Xuan's nose, then asked with a smile, "Does it smell good? I made it specially and added moon blue flowers in it. I saw you like to sleep among the moon blue flowers before, so I thought you would definitely like this smell."

Xuan took the soap, held it in his hand and stared at it blankly.

Seeing that he didn't move, Meng Yuqing directly pulled his hand over, wet it with stream water, applied soap and helped him wash the mud off his hands.

Xuan just stared blankly at the top of Meng Yuqing's head without saying a word, his dark eyes becoming even deeper.

The stream water was cold and very comfortable. It was summer now and Meng Yuqing had just been walking around in front of the fire. He felt sweaty all over and really wanted to jump into the stream to take a bath.

Fortunately, before he went into the water, he suddenly remembered that he and Xuan were still different in the concepts of this world, so he stopped taking off his clothes.

Xuan saw him suddenly stop and gave him a puzzled look, "What's wrong with you?"

He held his forehead with one hand and waved the other at Xuan, "It's okay, I just feel a little hot."

The appearance of people in this world is really too deceptive. I almost ran naked in front of Xuan just now.

Hearing Meng Yuqing's words, Xuan nodded and said, "It's not the hottest time yet. It will be the hottest in two months, but it won't last long, only about half a month, and then it will be autumn."

"When are we going to the market?" Meng Yuqing suddenly remembered that he had been busy with various things recently and had not asked about the specific time of the market.

"We'll set off in half a month. It'll take us half a month to walk from here to the market without a break. The market will also last for another half a month. However, we'll leave early to trade with the small tribes and finally return to the tribe before the hottest time arrives."

"Okay, I understand." Meng Yuqing turned around and looked at the mud bag burning charcoal. "Let's go back first. Don't worry about this place. Come back in two days to open it and see if it worked."

"Okay." Xuan responded, walked ashore and changed back into animal form.

After Meng Yuqing climbed up and sat firmly, he walked around the mud pile and rubbed his feet twice to smell the scent of orcs, then ran towards the tribe.
