Chapter 534 Fire Plow
They were really lucky. Shortly after it got dark, they found a low cave that went down to the ground behind the woods. There was a nest made of dry branches inside, which looked like a wild beast's nest.

Xiao Se couldn't carry Ye Feng. Ye Feng climbed in by himself and fell into the nest made of branches. He happily reached out to Xiao Se and said, "Arthur, come here."

Xiao Se stumbled toward Ye Feng, touched his hand, held it tightly, and asked worriedly: "Is it safe here?"

"Safe." Ye Feng pulled Xiao Se into his arms, held her hands and blew her air. Looking at the gaping hole, his eyes turned red with distress, "The wild beasts have run away, and they won't come back at this time. .I’ll light the fire now, you sit here and don’t move.”

The invisible Xiao Se sat still like a good baby: "Okay."

Now she couldn't help, so she could only rely on Night Breeze.

Ye Feng used a big black knife to peel off branches and prepare materials for drilling wood to make fire. However, after the materials were prepared, he could not drill out the fire.

His hands were scarred and badly cracked. When he was rubbing the stick back and forth, he was undoubtedly cutting the palms of his hands back and forth again.

The palms of both hands were moving back and forth quickly at any time, and the palms of both hands were bleeding, but the fire still showed no signs of sparks.

Blood dripped on the branches. Ye Feng didn't even frown and continued to rub the branches to make fire.

Ye Feng remained silent, but the smell of blood revealed the situation before him.

Xiao Se shrugged her nose, and the smell of blood penetrated her nose. She shouted in panic: "Ye Feng, are you bleeding? I smell blood. Show me where the blood is."

"No." Night Breeze was afraid that Arthur would rush over and hurt herself, so she quickly threw away the branch and caught her, "I'm not hurt."

"But I smell blood." Xiao Se grabbed his hand in panic.

Ye Feng failed to dodge her hand in a hurry and was caught by her, pinching it right into the palm of her hand. She frowned in pain but said nothing.

Xiao Se touched the sticky feeling on his palm. No one knew this feeling better than her: "Blood! Your palm is bleeding!"

Ye Feng did not hide away, and let her touch his hand, and comforted her with a smile: "I'm really fine, it's just that the palm of my hand bled a little. It's okay, don't worry."

Xiao Se wanted to touch his hand, but because he couldn't see it and was afraid of hurting him, he really wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it. He felt very distressed and asked, "Did you do it when you dragged me back in the snowstorm just now?"

It was only then that Ye Feng used his hands harder.

"Well, it's just a small injury, it's okay. I'd better light up the fire first, right?" Ye Feng smiled and tried his best to give Xiao Se a peaceful environment, "It will be colder at night, and we can't do it without a fire."

Xiao Se grabbed his hand to stop him: "Since drilling wood to make fire doesn't work, how about another way? You take a branch that looks flammable, use a dagger to create a groove in the middle of the branch, and then put another small The branches were cut into a diagonal shape and plowed back and forth against the groove in the middle of the branches."

She let go of Ye Feng's hand and said, "This will save you a little effort. Try it."

At least you don't have to rub the branches back and forth, causing secondary or tertiary damage to your palms.

This plowing back and forth to make fire is called a fire plow.

"Okay." Ye Feng did as Xiao Se said, using a branch as thick as an arm to dig a groove with a dagger, and then used a small branch to cut off half of the mouth end to make the mouth end of the branch oblique.

Then use the slanted end of the small branch to plow back and forth in the groove, just like an ox plowing a field.

Although this is a waste of effort, it is much more convenient than drilling wood to make fire. At least you don't need to rub the branches back and forth with your palms to make fire.

It's just that this method of fire plowing is not used as much as drilling wood to make fire.

The night wind grabbed the branches and plowed the wood back and forth. Slowly, black color appeared in the grooves, which were traces of fire.

This was a stance that was about to get angry. Ye Feng continued happily, not daring to stop.

As the blackness grew more and more, the flames suddenly started.

"Yes, there is a fire!" Ye Feng looked at the flames and carefully added branches. He was very surprised, "Arthur, the fire is burning." Xiao Se was also very happy: "Great, what about your hands now?" Sample?"

"It's okay." Ye Feng began to lie as Xiao Se couldn't see.

He said bleakly: "I remember there is a diabolo tube in the basket, please find it."

Ye Feng found the diabolo tube and handed it to her: "What are you doing?"

"I'll get some snow to burn, and then I'll wash your hands and apply medicine." Xiao Se tested the ground with his feet and walked forward.

Ye Feng looked at her like this and wanted to shout her to come back and go alone, but he also knew that Arthur would not let him go: "Go straight, to the left, yes, okay, don't move, be careful, it's a bit high, slow down. Well, don’t go out, it’s right there.”

Xiao Se followed Ye Feng's instructions to pack the snow back, then returned to him according to Ye Feng's instructions, and handed him the bamboo tube: "You come and burn it."

Ye Feng boiled the water in the bamboo tube as Xiao Se said, and after it cooled slightly, they both drank some boiling water to warm themselves up, then used the rest to boil and poured it on a corner of the animal skin coat to remove blood stains on their palms.

Ye Feng washed away the blood on his hands and wiped Xiao Se's hands: "What then?"

"Take out the hand cream and lipstick. I feel like my mouth is almost frozen." Xiao Se touched his lips. Although they were not cracked and skinned, they were dry.

Ye Feng followed the instructions one by one: "I'll put hand cream on you first."

Looking at Xiao Se's scarred hands, Ye Feng endured the pain and applied hand cream on her.

When I was in the tribe, Arthur's hands were so beautiful. At that time, I loved holding her hands and cheering her up.

But in just a few days, it turned into this.

Night Breeze put hand cream on Xiao Se, also put hand cream on himself, and applied lipstick on himself at Xiao Se's request.

"It really smells like peach." Night Breeze said with a smile. "This is my first time applying this, and it smells pretty good."

Xiao Se put his mouth forward and said, "That's right, rub it for me."

Ye Feng leaned over and applied it on Xiao Se's lips, imitating the way Xiao Se used to apply lipstick: "How do you feel?"

"Very good!" It's naturally good to have joy in suffering.

Ye Feng immediately understood the meaning of Xiao Se's words. After he laughed miserably, he smiled sincerely.

Yes, he and Arthur are still alive, that's the best thing.

"Cuckoo..."

There was a growling sound from the stomach, and Xiao Se touched her stomach. It was not her stomach that was growling, but Ye Feng's.

Xiao Se touched the basket and said, "There are tree heart slices I roasted in it. Let's eat that now. Night Breeze, take it out."

"Okay." Ye Feng rummaged through the basket to find tree heart scraps, his eyes darkened, he only took out one piece and put the others back.

"I'll defrost it first." Night Breeze put the tree heart shavings on the fire to grill and defrost them. "You were so thoughtful and prepared all the food."

Otherwise, even if they find a wild beast's den where they don't freeze, they will starve to death.

A piece of tree heart was enough for Arthur to eat alone.
