Chapter 17
Long Yuanyuan immediately threw all his things into his backpack and continued walking in the wilderness.
However, Long Yuanyuan did not find the treasure chest for the rest of the journey, so he had to pull some dead grass near the cabin and then go home.
As soon as he reached the door of the cabin, Long Yuanyuan heard the quarrel between Huahua and Yaya.
Ever since Long Yuanyuan and Huahua made a contract, Huahua and Yaya can communicate with each other.
She pushed open the door, her dark brown eyes full of curiosity, "Huahua, Yaya, are you guys arguing?"
Although most of the time it was Huahua, the only plant speaking, occasionally interspersed with Yaya's dissatisfied voice, it was obvious that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.
Then, Huahua casually covered it up.
"Master, we are assigning tasks and discussing the distribution of light groups."
Although Long Yuanyuan didn't understand what Huahua meant, she nodded anyway.
She put down the things in her backpack and began to happily share what she had encountered this afternoon. The two small plants next to her also nodded in agreement and asked questions from time to time.
"That's right!" Long Yuanyuan took out some wood and dry grass, and walked around asking, "Huahua, Yaya, do you know where there's a stick in the house?"
Jin Mianhua immediately began to sense everything in the cabin, but in the end found nothing.
[I didn't find it. Master, what do you want the stick for? ]
Long Yuanyuan simply explained the method of making fire by rubbing two sticks together. She still wanted to have fire so that she could drink hot broth. Ku Mu also told Long Yuanyuan how to make the broth.
Jinmianhua thought for a long time.
"Master, you have a knife. We can use it to split the wood, cut it into sticks, and then cut off some sawdust so that you can try to make a fire."
Long Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately found a knife, then took out a piece of wood and started to cut.
However, Long Yuanyuan was too weak, and Jinmianhua and Xiaoluya next to him were also frightened. In their opinion, the sharp dagger seemed to hurt their young master at any time.
Jinmianhua finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Master, why don't we just give up? This feels like an impossible task."
The main reason was that Long Yuanyuan was too weak and made himself look dusty but still got nothing. The thing he cut off was not a wooden stick at all, but rather a wooden strip that broke with a slight bend.
Long Yuanyuan's hands also hurt. She held her face with both hands and let out a long sigh.
"But Huahua, I don't want to soak the compressed biscuits in water again. They won't taste good."
Disgust appeared on Long Yuanyuan's face, but as soon as she thought about the compressed biscuits soaked in water for the past two days, she immediately became motivated and continued to tinker with her wood.
The wood in his hand was about fifty centimeters long and fifteen centimeters in diameter. This time, Long Yuanyuan didn't plan to make a fifty-centimeter-long stick, but a short one that would be enough to start a fire.
Long Yuanyuan continued to struggle, his chubby little face full of seriousness, his dark brown eyes fixed on the wood in his hands.
Huahua and Yaya next to them stopped talking and just watched Long Yuanyuan's actions silently.
The dusk in the wilderness is exceptionally beautiful and quiet; one can only hear the sound of the breeze blowing the dry grass from time to time.
The lights in the cabin were already on, casting a yellow glow inside.
Long Yuanyuan had finally whittled the stick and was now preparing to drill it. She held the stick between her hands, turning it constantly. Beneath it lay dead grass, some sawdust from earlier, and the piece of wood from which she had whittled it.
She didn't know if she could succeed, after all, the tool Ku Mu mentioned didn't look like what she had in her hand. However, she had no choice but to try her best.
The air gradually became heavier. Long Yuanyuan quietly cheered herself up, but her hands kept moving.
Time passed, and the stick spun rapidly. Gradually, some black spots appeared under the stick, and even some red stars appeared.
Long Yuanyuan became even more excited instantly.
The fire finally appeared, but it was very small, as if Long Yuanyuan could extinguish it with a light breath.
She held her breath and carefully placed the dry grass next to it.
The dry grass was instantly ignited.
Long Yuanyuan immediately put the wood aside to burn, but the middle part was still made of dead wood and previously discarded wooden strips. As for the wooden stick, which was the hero, Long Yuanyuan had already carefully placed it aside and would continue to use it next time he made a fire.
The fire gradually grew bigger, even brighter than the lamp next to it.
At the beginning, Long Yuanyuan did think about using the lamp that came with the cabin to start a fire, but she soon found that she couldn't open the lampshade at all. Every time she turned on the light, she had to press the red button next to the lamp by hand.
So she could only make a fire with difficulty.
Long Yuanyuan turned off the light next to her, then started to take out the pot, intending to add the dried meat directly with water.
Jin Mianhua hurried to stop him.
[Master, first chop the dried meat into small pieces in the pot, then add water.]
Long Yuanyuan did as Jin Mianhua said, holding the dried meat in his dirty little hands, without paying any attention to hygiene at all.
Jinmianhua naturally noticed it as well. It wanted to remind them, but when it thought that there was not enough water at the moment, it had to shut up.
Soon, the dried meat soup was cooking in the pot.
Gradually, the fragrance began to emerge. Long Yuanyuan silently swallowed her saliva, staring intently, muttering, "Is it okay? It should be okay, right?"
【Master, wait a moment.】
In fact, Jin Mianhua didn't know when he would get better, but it had only been a short time, so he had to divert Long Yuanyuan's attention.
[Master, your backpack is a storage space, right? Can you put living things in it? Can it keep them fresh and warm?]
If this is possible, the owner can eat hot food regularly.
Long Yuanyuan replied in a baby voice, "No living things allowed. Can Phuket Island keep warm? Slurp."
She answered while swallowing her saliva.
"Then you can give it a try later. If it works, you might be able to eat hot food more often in the future."
"good!"
All Long Yuanyuan could hear were the words "I can eat hot food" and she immediately prepared to reach out and take the pot.
[Master! Stop! It's hot!]
The usually calm Jinmianhua was frightened by the cub's action and roared loudly.
Long Yuanyuan was not happy about it, but she still stopped obediently, pouting and complaining, "I'm hungry!"
Jin Mianhua felt that her emotions fluctuated more in the past one or two days than in the past hundreds of years.
"Master, please find something to wrap around the two ends of the pot before you carry it away."
Jinmianhua was very tired, and her words were filled with helplessness and pity for the cub.
