Chapter 432: Teaching Immortal Cultivation in the Magic Continent
When we returned to the valley, the children had already picked the herbs and stacked them neatly in their backpacks.
Big Bear, Willow Yaer and their friends, along with a few other children, wove a lot of baskets.
There were not enough backpacks at home, so the previous one was taken out by Lin Wanwan.
After learning from Lin Wanwan, they learned how to weave baskets.
So when I have nothing to do, I will just make up two of them just in case.
They also caught all the hares and pheasants that could be seen with the naked eye. The pheasants had their feet tied up, and the hares had their limbs tied up.
"Alright kids, you did great!"
"It's still early, let's not rush back. Today I'm here to teach you your first lesson in life."
"Do you know what is the most important thing for a person?"
Lin Wanwan put all the herbs she collected into the space, and put the herbs collected by the children into a separate storage bag.
She had stockpiled quite a few of these storage bags when she went to the immortal cultivation plane.
So, I don’t mind taking one out to use.
"Sister Wanwan, I think the most important thing for a person is family!"
Guazi held her brother's hand and said firmly.
"No, although family members are our most important relatives, they are not the most important thing for a person!"
Lin Wanwan shook her head, looked at Guazi'er's expression of disbelief, and continued to explain.
"The most important thing for a person is actually the ability to survive. If you have strong survival skills, you can lead a better life with your family and those around you."
"But if your ability to survive is extremely poor, you will only become a burden to your family and friends."
"We cultivators are in a profession where we fight for a glimmer of hope and fight for our lives against the heavens."
"If you want to follow me in my cultivation, you must have the ability to survive like weeds, no matter what kind of difficult situation you face."
"You may not understand these things right now, but you will understand them naturally in the future if you watch, listen, and think more."
After watching the children go from being confused at the beginning to suddenly understanding, Lin Wanwan talked about the most important thing of the day.
"Then, the first step to improving your survival ability is to enable you to survive in the wild."
"And based on this, you have to learn how to make a fire in the wild."
Although the first part sounded very high-sounding, the children immediately gained confidence when it came to the latter part.
Although most of these children have this ability.
Even the youngest siblings, Guapi and Guazi, were wanderers who had wandered alone for a while.
But most of them pick wild fruits and vegetables, or beg for food to fill their stomachs in order to survive.
What Lin Wanwan is going to teach them today is how to make fire in the wild without any tools.
As long as there is fire, food can be cooked.
This is the most primitive survival ability.
"Now, everyone follow me and find some branches and tree trunks."
Lin Wanwan took the children to search the valley and found suitable branches and dry tree trunks.
Then he took them to a place sheltered from the wind and taught them how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Although fire is made by rubbing two sticks together, there are different ways to do it.
One is to simply rub it with your hands.
Another way is to use tools such as ropes, which can save half the effort.
Another way is to quickly make fire using chemical principles. This requires your own materials, so I won’t teach you today. I’ll leave it for later.
Lin Wanwan carefully explained two commonly used methods to the children.
The children were also asked to experiment with how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together, and what kind of hay should be used to ignite the fire?
These are all very complicated subjects. If you only know the methods but don't practice them, you will often end up in failure.
Except for the two children, Guapi and Guazi, who failed due to their young age, all the other children present successfully made fire by drilling wood.
"Okay, now you all know how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together. The melon rind and seeds may not be strong enough because they're young, but they've mastered the technique."
"Next, each of you find a suitable place and light a bonfire for me!"
"Here, I want to remind you that the place where you make a bonfire must be away from dry grass and trees."
"Either it's an open area or somewhere that's sheltered from the wind and won't cause a fire. Make sure when you're cooking, sparks won't splash onto flammable items around you."
After saying that, Lin Wanwan ignored the children. It was not her first time living in the wild, and the children had seen it before.
Now, looking at the children busy with their own things, the small flame they just lit has gone out, and they have to drill wood to make fire again.
It took two hours before all the children succeeded in lighting a fire.
Lin Wanwan lay in a cool place and took a long nap.
When I woke up, I felt that the porridge and buns I had in the morning had been digested long ago.
"Sister Wanwan, our bonfire is already lit!"
"Sister Wanwan, our bonfire has already been lit. What should we do now?"
Several children gathered around, and because Guazi and Guapi were younger, they worked together to build a bonfire.
Of course, the two of them did not make fire by themselves, but relied on the help of other older children.
"Next, it's time to make food!"
"Whether I can have a delicious meal today depends on you."
"Come on, I have a few tools here. Each of you can pick one that suits you and use it!"
As Lin Wanwan spoke, she took out a series of tools including pots, pans, kitchen knives and axes from the space.
But there is only one of each.
"Sister Wanwan, I'm a girl. I cook all the meals at home. Please give me this iron pot."
Liu Yaer took the iron pot away.
"Sister Wanwan, I'm very strong and can handle the prey. Give me this axe and I'll use it to chop meat for everyone later!"
The big bear took the only axe inside.
"Sister Wanwan, I need a kitchen knife..."
The wild monkeys and other children each chose their own items.
After they made their choice, Lin Wanwan took out a wooden bucket for the children to fetch water.
We took a few rabbits and pheasants that we had hunted earlier and let the children figure out how to remove the hair and skin them themselves.
Although Lin Wanwan was very hungry, she still insisted on staying with the children, giving them some pointers from time to time.
This cannot be completely ignored, otherwise she may not be able to eat her lunch well.
Fortunately, these children were used to working, and they peeled the rabbit's fur very cleanly, without any damage on the entire skin.
The pheasant's feathers were plucked cleanly and its internal organs were processed.
The children cleaned the food very carefully, so Lin Wanwan was not worried that she would eat something unclean.
The children originally planned to cook their own food, but after some discussion and with Lin Wanwan's consent, they decided to cook together.
In fact, this is also Lin Wanwan testing their ability to adapt.
We only have so many tools, and if they don’t cooperate, the food might be cooked or not.
In order not to hurt her stomach, Lin Wanwan was of course happy to give them some convenience.
