Chapter 4 The Arrogant Pine

After several people hurriedly picked up some dry firewood, they walked from the side of the woods under the leadership of the pine trees.

Wang Wei dragged a bundle of dry firewood and followed them.

Pine Shu and the others seemed to have acquiesced to Wang Wei's behavior.

After leaving the woods, I walked along the foot of the mountain. Before I walked far, I saw a huge rock ahead.

Bypassing the huge rock, Wang Wei was surprised to find a stream flowing down from the mountain. Of course, the stream at this moment was covered with ice.

And between the stream and the boulder is a triangular cave entrance.

Outside the cave, the broken bones of animals, the ashes burned by the bonfire, and the chaotic footprints can all be shown that the cave is the territory of pine trees.

The pine trees and the serrated pigs threw dry firewood and serrated pigs at the entrance of the cave, and then drilled into the cave.

Wang Wei looked at the dark hole and instinctively felt a sense of fear of the situation inside.

Despite his fear, Wang Wei gritted his teeth, and still imitated the pine trees and the others, threw the dry firewood at the entrance of the cave, and followed in.

The entrance of the cave is very small, let alone the sturdy pine trees and the others, even Wang Wei, who is slightly thin, has to bend down and shrink when entering.

The temperature inside the cave is much higher than that outside, but because the sunlight outside is too bright under the reflection of the snow, when he first came in, Wang Wei's eyes were pitch black and could not see anything.

After exploring for two steps, he stopped, allowing his eyes to adapt to the light in the cave, and his ears kept collecting information in the cave.

Judging from the sound, there were obviously a large number of people in the cave, at least a dozen people. Wang Wei even heard two baby chirpings with his sharp ears.

Moreover, what surprised Wang Wei the most was that the air in the cave was not as disgusting as he thought. Although it was indeed very turbid, there was a faint green smell of unknown plants in the turbidity, which diluted the turbid feeling a lot.

"The firewood is back, hurry up and start the fire. We also picked up a frozen serrated pig and roasted it for me quickly. Damn, why are your eyes so painful!" The pine tree shouted at the people inside the cave.

But that sentence "Damn it" made Wang Wei feel like he was out of the play in an instant.

Through the past half a day of communication, Wang Wei also discovered that the system's words about Songs and the others were translated very straightforwardly, not only were they mixed with these words that express emotions, but even idioms were often used.

Finally, Wang Wei barely adapted to the brightness of the hole. He happened to see on one side of the cave, a primitive man who couldn't see clearly but was obviously a female, holding a flat front end, like a shovel and plucking it underground.

A fire pit was dug out there, and the firewood that had not been completely burned out, along with the ash from outside the hole, was pulled into the fire pit.

It not only increases the temperature in the cave, but also protects the fire.

However, after spending a long time this time, Wang Wei did not see half a spark popping out of the fire pit.

"Pine trees, the fire is extinguished!" said the woman in charge of the fire pit.

"You useless thing, you can't even see a fire seed. Do you want to freeze me to death?" Songshu said angrily when he heard this.

The woman in charge of taking care of the fire pit said, "Pine trees, you said it was cold last night, and then you had to push all the fires up so that the fires that could have been left for tomorrow will be burned today. Moreover, if you go to find dry firewood, the fires will not be burned if you come back early."

"You dare to rely on me, go and die!" Songshu said, kicking the woman down at the base of the wall.

The woman hugged in the corner and dared not say anything.

The rest of the people seemed to have become accustomed to the atrocities of the pine trees, and they were still doing what they should do.

At this moment, someone finally discovered Wang Wei.

"Pine Tree, who is this person?" A man Wang Wei had never seen before pointed at Wang Wei with a wooden stick.

"I picked this from outside. You go and raise the fire, and then you guys come over and warm up my hands and feet!" The pine tree pointed at a few people and said.

"The pine trees suddenly fell so much snow this year. The animals escaped and hid, and now they can't find food. Isn't our life even more sad when multiple people eat?" asked the man pointing at Wang Wei with a big stick.

"This serrated pig has been enough for a few days, and I found a place with many frozen animals. After eating the serrated pig, the weather was warmer, I took people to bring them all, and it was not in vain to raise him. When there was really no food, we would kill him and eat it!" Pine Tree said casually.

However, his words made Wang Wei's heart tremble.

In front of me, I said that I would eat me when I was short of food. Is this really good? Have you considered my feelings?

Although he was irritated, Wang Wei greeted everyone with a smile on his face: "Hello everyone, my name is Wang Wei. I am very happy to join your tribe. Moreover, I will not eat and live in vain. I can farm, be able to breed, and I can also make weapons or clothes and shoes for everyone!"

From what Wang Wei has seen so far, the people in this tribe do not master the techniques of planting and breeding, and they even have no idea about these things. However, Wang Wei believes that after he speaks the words of farming and breeding, the system will definitely be able to translate them into words they can understand.

Just like the system translates the words of Songshu and the others into what Wang Wei can understand.

Among a group of people, there is no doubt that what kind of people can live long? Those who are useful to the collective and those who can allow everyone or the vast majority of people to enjoy the benefits can live longer.

If Wang Wei wants to integrate into this tribe, he must show his usefulness.

After all, he didn't want to be beaten to death one day when he was sleeping and then put it on the fire and roast it for food.

I thought that after saying this, it would attract everyone's interest, and then take the opportunity to communicate with these people, so that I can get familiar with them.

Who knew that he had finished speaking, but no one paid attention to him.

Even the system background did not receive any emotional values.

It seems that these people really treat him as something like food.

Just when Wang Wei was lost, the man who first discovered Wang Wei came up.

Wang Wei was shocked and put on the warmest smile.

But what he didn't expect was that the man came over, sniffed Wang Wei, and then said, "Hey, this person doesn't smell at all, then it tastes very good. I really look forward to being able to eat him early!"

Wang Wei: "..."

System: "Host negative emotions detected +99"

I found a corner and took off my shoes.

The whole pair of shoes is already soaked. If you can't dry it in time, you might as well be barefoot in this cave.

While thinking about how to get closer to the primitive people of the Pine Tribe and get rid of the identity of spare food, Wang Wei silently endured hunger.

Ten minutes later, the pine trees that were warmed in the arms of the tribal woman stood up, and shouted out of the cave impatiently: "Pinecones, you waste, aren't the fire rising yet? I'm hungry!"

Pinecon walked in with two thin pieces of wood frowning and said, "The sky is too cold in the pine tree, and the fire cannot rise. It seems that it will take a few days to wait for the snow to melt before you can try again!"

"You fart, the fire was able to rise last time, why didn't it work today?" Songshu asked in disbelief.

"It didn't snow last time, so we didn't feel cold when we went out barefoot!" said Pinecone.

"Useless thing! Let me teach you how to make a fire!" Songshu pushed away the pine cone, took the tools he prepared in his hand, and went to the entrance of the cave to try it himself.

Although the pine trees do not know the reason why oxygen is needed to make fire, after experiments and explorations, they know that making fire outside the cave can achieve twice the result with half the effort than inside the cave.

Before Wang Wei traveled through time, he was very interested in wild adventures, so he also theoretically mastered many skills in wild survival.

Without a lighter, it is still impossible to make fire in the wild.

Logically speaking, no matter whether it is spring or winter, as long as the technique is right, there is no situation where the fire cannot be created. Therefore, out of curiosity, Wang Wei followed the pine trees to the entrance of the cave.

Just now, the cave was black and black, and Wang Wei couldn't see anything, but now outside the cave, under the dazzling sunlight, Wang Wei knew why the pine cones could not get angry after just one glance.

The main reason is that the materials for making fire are incorrect.

Drilling wood to make fire is simple. It uses the heat generated by friction of wood to ignite flammable fluff and wood chips, but in fact there are many considerations inside.

I won’t say much about the techniques. The wood materials used in different seasons are different.

For example, in spring, wood from elm and willow trees are used to make fire.

In the dry and cold winter, the most likely thing to succeed in making fire is the firewood of locust trees and sandalwood trees.

But in the hands of the pine tree, they were using the pine branches that they had just picked up in the woods.

The pine tree rubs the pine branches with its hands. The straight branches rub violently with the wooden sticks on the ground. The rotating places turn black and carbonized at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The pine cones next to them pile the crushed dry leaves and the soft, unknown animals' hairs at the friction and intersection.

However, no matter how fast the pine tree is, the combustible materials piled up are never smoked.

Just a glance at Wang Wei can be sure that if the pine tree does not replace the wood material, unless his hand speed can be 30% faster than this extreme hand speed, the heat of friction will never be enough to ignite the ignition aid.

Sure enough, as Wang Wei expected, the more he grinded the pine tree, the more angry he became. Ten minutes later, there was a dull sound of "dong" that the pine tree actually grinded through the wood under his feet.

The exhausted pine tree took a break for two breaths, then kicked the wooden stick on the ground away.

Back at the cave, looking at the gaze of a group of people, the pine tree ran over and kicked the woman who was watching the fire to the ground.
