The cannon fodder in the book turns into the daughter of the heaven

Chapter 485: Drilling wood to make fire

The group passed through the dense forest and followed Xiao Wanwan to a stream hidden in the bamboo forest.

Everyone found a piece of open space, sat down together, and looked at the small wooden house opposite from afar.

The cabin was silent at this time, without any sound of any living creature moving.

Xiao Wanwan followed Yun Mubai's gaze and said with a smile, "Big Brother, I guess everyone living across the street has gone out."

Yun Mubai retracted his gaze and nodded slightly: "Wanwan is right! We are deep in the mountains here, and judging by the weather, he must have gone out and hasn't returned yet."

The owner was not at home, so they didn't dare to go to the house rashly.

Xiao Wanwan carried a few pheasants and went to the creek with Xiao Shengsheng to deal with them.

The two of them came to the edge of the stream, and Xiao Shengsheng looked at Xiao Wanwan eagerly: "Wanwan, what should I do?"

Xiao Wanwan smiled mysteriously: "Shengsheng, let's make beggar's chicken today."

"Beggar's chicken?" Xiao Shengsheng was confused. She had never heard of it.

Seeing her silly and cute face, Xiao Wanwan reached out and pinched her cheek and said, "Shengsheng, go to the stream and mix some mud."

"Oh, okay!" Xiao Shengsheng responded straightforwardly, without asking the reason, and worked hard to mix mud by the stream.

She may not be good at anything else, but she is very capable of helping out.

After Xiao Wanwan finished giving the instructions, she broke off another bamboo and sharpened a bamboo sword on a large rock by the stream.

She used a bamboo knife to gut the pheasant and removed the internal organs without plucking the feathers.

Xiao Shengsheng looked curious, but didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, no matter what, Wanwan did the right thing.

Xiao Wanwan cleaned the pheasant and rummaged through the surrounding weeds for a while, and surprisingly found a lot of wild seasonings.

She grinned, picked some and stuffed them into the pheasant's belly, then found a few large leaves to wrap the pheasant and sealed it with mud.

Xiao Shengsheng was surprised and asked, "Wanwan, can we still eat this pheasant after it's been wrapped in mud?"

"Of course." Xiao Wanwan gave her a smile: "Okay, let's go back."

The two men walked back carrying the pheasant wrapped in mud.

Xiao Wensheng, Dong Yi and Zi Buyan went to a nearby place and picked up a bunch of dead branches, then piled them up carefully.

Just as he was about to light the fire, he realized that he and others had no fire source.

Zi Buyan was dumbfounded. He stood beside the firewood pile in a daze, with a sad face: "What should we do? We can't eat a raw pheasant."

Yun Mubai and the others frowned. In the past, people used to use magic to make fire.

Now that I have lost my fairy power, I cannot take out the things in the space ring. What should I do?

Feng Lizhou turned his head to look at the dense forest, and said hesitantly: "Why don't we go into the forest and look for some wild fruits that can satisfy our hunger."

Chu Yanhao nodded in agreement: "Now it seems that this is the only way. Yan'er, Third Senior Brother will go find some wild fruits to fill your stomach."

Dong Yi quickly stood up and stopped the two of them: "Second brother, third brother, you are injured, I'd better go."

He was about to walk into the dense forest when he saw Xiao Wanwan approaching with a clod of mud in her arms, her face beaming with joy.

"Fourth Brother, where are you going?"

Dong Yi paused and explained to Xiao Wanwan, "Wanwan, we don't have a fire source, so even if we had pheasants, we wouldn't be able to eat them. I'll go look for wild fruits nearby and bring some back for everyone to fill their stomachs."

"No source of fire?" Xiao Wanwan also remembered that they did not have any spiritual power.

She was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "It's no big deal, just watch me."

Feng Lizhou was overjoyed: "Wanwan, can you still use the power of the immortal spirit?"

If Wanwan has recovered, then it will only be a matter of time for them.

Xiao Wanwan shook her head: "No, but we can make fire by rubbing two sticks together."

"Drilling two sticks to make fire?" Everyone looked at her with confusion in their eyes.

Xiao Wanwan straightened her body with a smug smile on her face.

She did not explain to the others, but went straight to find a piece of dry and flammable wood and dug a groove on it with a bamboo knife.

He then cut a hard pointed wooden stick, grabbed a handful of dead leaves, rubbed them together and stuffed them into the groove.

Everyone was silent, staring at Xiao Wanwan's actions.

After Xiao Wanwan finished her preparations, she playfully raised her eyebrows at everyone and said with a smile, "Brothers and sisters, the time to witness a miracle has come. Let's wait and see."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and used all her strength to rub the wooden stick in her hand.

As time passed, wisps of green smoke and sparks began to emanate from the groove where Xiao Wanwan was drilling.

"It's on fire, it's really on fire!" Feng Lizhou and Chu Yanhao hugged each other excitedly, staring at Xiao Wanwan closely.

Xiao Wensheng and Xiao Shengsheng also clenched their fists, not daring to breathe.

Zi Buyan had his mouth covered by Dong Yi, and the cheers that were about to come out were forcibly suppressed.

Yun Mubai looked at Xiao Wanwan with a smile in his eyes, secretly sighing in his heart: His Wanwan is so smart!

When Xiao Wanwan saw that sparks had appeared, she stopped what she was doing and blew away the sparks carefully.

After a while, the sparks gradually grew larger and eventually turned into a blazing flame.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around and sat down by the campfire.

Xiao Wanwan buried several pheasants under the fire. As they were roasted by the flames, the aroma penetrated into the nose, making people salivate.

"Junior Sister, when will you be better?" Zi Buyan pressed his stomach pitifully.

As the aroma grew stronger, his stomach growled even more cheerfully.

Feng Lizhou swallowed his saliva and looked at the fire eagerly:

"Wanwan, is this pheasant cooked enough? Don't burn it."

Chu Yanhao poked the fire with the branch in his hand, his eyes shining:

"Old Second is right, Wanwan, why don't you take it out and have a look? If it's burnt, it'll be a waste."

Xiao Wanwan glanced at them with amusement and said nonchalantly:

"Second Brother, Third Brother, now that we no longer have the power of immortal spirits, our bodies are very fragile. If we eat it uncooked, we will get stomach upset."

Everyone looked at each other and found it funny.

They didn't pay much attention to their appetite before, but now just a few pheasants make them drool.

After another cup of tea, Xiao Wanwan suddenly stood up and said, "Alright!"

This made Feng Lizhou and the others very excited. They couldn't wait to pick up the wooden sticks in their hands and hurriedly tried to dig out the pheasants under the fire.

Xiao Wanwan naturally saw this scene. She rolled her eyes helplessly and said unhappily, "Go away, I'll do it!"

She used the wooden stick in her hand to push away Feng Lizhou and others who were rummaging around in the fire with the sticks, and moved the fire away with her nimble hands and feet.

Seeing this, everyone felt a little embarrassed, their faces flushed, and they smiled awkwardly and praised Xiao Wanwan:

"Oh, our Wanwan is still the best!"

"Yes, yes, Wanwan, Second Brother will be relying on you from now on!"

Hearing everyone's flattery, Xiao Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little elated.

She skillfully pulled the pheasant out and gently knocked the mud off its body with a wooden stick.

As the mud fell, the pheasant feathers were also brought down intact, revealing the tender white chicken meat. A rich meaty aroma mixed with steam immediately hit the face.
