"This is really giving me a headache!"
After seeing the fire go out, Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
The preparations were quite thorough; a lot of logs were added, and tinderboxes were also prepared.
But plans are far from keeping up with changes.
I thought I would be able to return to the shelter yesterday, and if I had returned yesterday, nothing would have happened.
But there's no point in worrying about these things now.
"It's alright, I'll keep trying to make fire by rubbing sticks together."
"Fortunately, our location is relatively dry, so starting a fire by friction shouldn't be too difficult."
After a moment, Chen Fan also adjusted his emotions.
Although this kind of thing is indeed a bit annoying, there's nothing you can do since it's already happened!
Ultimately, there were still some oversights.
This is probably because every gain comes with a loss.
While they harvested a large amount of starch, they also temporarily lost their source of fire.
Fortunately, it's not a big problem!
The terrain here is higher, and the environment is much drier than in the rainforest.
Therefore, the difficulty level of starting a fire by friction should not be too high.
"I'm sorry, Chen Fan, there's nothing I can do to help you right now."
Liu Feifei glanced at Chen Fan with a hint of guilt.
If one's wilderness survival skills are good enough, then there's no need to bother Chen Fan with things like starting a fire by rubbing sticks together.
"Look at what you're saying!"
"We're teammates, didn't I tell you not to be polite with me?"
"Alright, alright, go to the shelter and get some rest. I'll take care of starting a fire by friction."
Chen Fan smiled. Liu Feifei is going through a special period right now, so she definitely needs to be taken care of.
"Okay, I'll go inside and rest for a bit."
This time, Liu Feifei did not refuse.
Because she could feel her stomach getting more and more uncomfortable.
This feeling was incredibly familiar; it was a sign that my period was about to start.
Before we arrive, we still need to make some preparations!
...
After Liu Feifei returned to the shelter, Chen Fan also started to make fire by rubbing sticks together.
Drill rods and drill plates are easy to find.
There's plenty of tinder here too...
Actually, the outer skin scraped off the bamboo is excellent tinder.
Because the outer skin of bamboo is rich in an oily layer, it is a good material for starting a fire.
Chen Fan still used the bow drill method to start a fire.
Because this method of starting a fire by friction is relatively easy, requires a lot of effort, and has a high success rate.
However, this time it didn't go as smoothly as the time at the beach.
It took two whole hours and five or six attempts to finally get the fire going.
The main reason is that Chen Fan himself has no experience in this area, so even if he occasionally manages to get a spark going, it can easily go out if he's not careful.
"Holy crap!! It took them so long to get the fire going!"
"It seems that we were just lucky last time. Making fire by friction is not as simple as we thought."
After watching the flames leap and leap, Chen Fan let out a long sigh of relief.
What I thought would be an easy task has taken so long!
In fact, sparks were produced several times during the process, the drill plate turned completely black, and you could even see flames flickering.
However, it may be accidentally extinguished during the transfer process!
Fortunately, they finally managed to start a fire.
The viewers in the live stream breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.
After all, viewers can easily empathize with the characters when watching this kind of program.
You'll unconsciously immerse yourself in the character of Chen Fan...
So after successfully starting the fire, they seemed to be able to empathize with Chen Fan's joy.
After lighting the fire, Chen Fan boiled a pot of water and then simply simmered a fish soup.
After he finished cooking, he brought the food to the shelter, by which time Liu Feifei was already asleep!
A corner of the sleeping bag is also missing.
It was obviously turned into sanitary napkins by Liu Feifei...
"Feifei, get up and eat something!"
"Eating something might make your stomach feel better," Chen Fan gently called out twice.
They haven't eaten much since yesterday and have persisted until now. Even a normal person would feel hungry and uncomfortable at this point.
What's more, Chen Feifei was on her period!
Upon hearing Chen Fan's voice, Liu Feifei frowned slightly, then opened her eyes.
"Okay..." He then nodded weakly.
She was holding her stomach tightly with both hands.
Chen Fan didn't ask too many questions, after all, it was just a small matter, and it was a girl's privacy.
"Have something to eat!"
Chen Fan quickly ladled out a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Liu Feifei.
"Um... thank you, Chen Fan."
Liu Feifei's eyes were filled with emotion.
Girls are usually very vulnerable at times like this, and sometimes they are very touched by even the slightest bit of help.
And this feeling will definitely stay with you!
"Look at what you're saying. We're teammates, so it's only right that I take care of you when you're not feeling well."
"If I ever encounter the same situation, I think you'll definitely take care of me too," Chen Fan joked with a smile.
"Pfft..." Liu Feifei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Then, staring at Chen Fan, he said, "You probably won't encounter this situation again!"
I do envy boys, really.
No more suffering from monthly bleeding pain...
"Um...maybe! Let's eat something quickly."
"If you still feel uncomfortable after eating, I'll massage it for you." Chen Fan's tone was as gentle as possible.
Liu Feifei nodded obediently.
In the past, when she had her period at home, she would always hug a heat pack to warm her stomach.
This will make me feel more comfortable.
But in this desolate wilderness, hand warmers are definitely not an option.
However, Chen Fan's body temperature is quite high, so it might have the same effect as a heat pack!
The two of them ate the whole pot of fish soup.
With a warm feeling in her belly, Liu Feifei did feel much more comfortable.
"Okay, now you can continue to rest. Leave the small things like taking the pot off the stove to me."
"Once you feel better, you can do more work..."
After cleaning up the pots and pans, Chen Fan, fearing that Liu Feifei would continue to feel guilty, took the initiative to speak.
However, the emotion in Liu Feifei's eyes grew even stronger.
Having such a thoughtful and gentle boy to take care of you must truly be a very happy thing...
"Mmm!" She then nodded, her eyes filled with tears.
After washing the dishes, Chen Fan did not rush back to the shelter.
Instead, they found the leopard pelt from before...
The two leopard skins weren't cut open; they were simply taken off like short sleeves.
There are only a few small holes on the paws and around the head!
It is very well preserved.
"This thing could be used as a hot water heater!"
Chen Fan examined the leopard skin and quickly formed an idea in his mind.
It's actually very simple to make. First, tie the small holes in the limbs tightly with rope.
Then pour boiling water in from the head, and tie it securely with a rope!
Having thought of this, Chen Fan immediately put it into practice.
In just over ten minutes, a homemade hot water bottle was made.
Chen Fan also quickly obtained a shelter...
Liu Feifei was clutching her stomach, her face pale, clearly still in great pain.
"I made you a simple hot water bottle. Hold onto it for now; hopefully it will help!"
Chen Fan handed the hot water bottle to Liu Feifei.
"this……"
Liu Feifei was first taken aback, then felt even more deeply moved.
I even felt that simply saying "thank you" wasn't enough to express my gratitude to Chen Fan!
"Don't mention it!" Chen Fan said with a smile.
