Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

There is a cave not far from the residence, the front and back are transparent, and because it is only a foot deep, it looks more like a stone ring.

After getting up early in the morning, he went to practice breathing on the big rock where he usually stayed. Fang Chang lit a fire in the house, took a bamboo tube to boil water, and prepared to make tea for a while.

Then he went out, took a long cane from the valley, and tied it to the stone ring in the distance.

He also wove some rope, using thatch, rattan skin, etc., which was a pastime for reading in front of the campfire at night, but the rope was not long enough, so this time he could only use rattan.

Then Fang Chang took the quilt out, unfolded it, and hung it on the vine to dry. Since the quilt was a bit damp, he didn't use it last night, and kept stacking it on the bedside.

The sun is good today, the bright sunshine dispelled the fog, exposing the green carpet-like mountain peaks under the blue sky, covered with lush vegetation, and the folds of the surrounding mountain peaks are clearly reflected in the sunlight. Mark of.

Clapping his hands, he was going to catch a small animal and bake it for breakfast, and then continued with the few things he hadn't done before going down the mountain.

Such as charcoal kiln.

The semi-circular charcoal kiln was still lying there, and it hadn't rained in the past few days when he went down the mountain, so the charcoal kiln was not much different from before he went down the mountain, just like...a graveyard.

Or get rid of it quickly.

Before starting, Fang Chang checked his shed first.

The thatched shed next to the hut is not bad, it is strong enough, it has not changed during the time it has been away, and it can keep out the rain. There is no humidity in the pond built with homemade bricks in the middle of the thatched shed, where the charcoal from the kiln is going to be stored.

He gently opened the outer wall of the charcoal kiln, and saw that the firewood inside had already turned dark gray, and the roots stood upright, but still maintained the appearance before entering the kiln.

I took out two pieces and knocked them against each other, there was a clanging sound, and after breaking them apart, I could see that the firewood inside was completely charred.

Well, very successful, good charcoal!

The charcoal kiln is a one-time product, and it cannot be used after it is opened this time. If you want to burn the next batch, you need to build a new kiln with mud.

Although Fang Chang never lacks time, everything can be made slowly, but someday he is in the mood to build a charcoal kiln that can reuse most of the kiln body.

After cracking the shell and soil to open the kiln, Fang Chang picked up the charcoal blocks from it, put them into the back basket, and then carried them to the shed one by one, and poured them into the built charcoal pool.

The results of this kiln filled a small half pond.

But Fang Chang's hands and body were stained with spots by the black charcoal powder flying up during the labor process.

Looking at his new clothes and palms, and at the stream in the distance, Fang Chang pondered for a moment.

Perhaps, sometimes, it is not as good as not to do anything at all.

In this barren mountain, he never had anything to live by himself, just enjoying the fun of making things by himself, experiencing the natural and contented artistic conception, rather than torturing himself.

so……

Fang Chang waved his fingers, concentrating on running his mana.

Like a gust of wind, the black charcoal dust on his soapy clothes and hands, and even the dust on his body before, were all pushed away three feet from the surrounding area and fell to the ground, vaguely forming a circular shape. trace.

Descaling.

This is a very useful little spell, which can save a lot of energy and allow people to get closer to nature in a more comfortable posture.

This is the first time for Fang Chang to use it. There is no need for incantations, gestures, tricks and cheats. He just casts it with his heart.

He really doesn't like doing laundry.

Perhaps, I can consider wearing a white suit in the future.

…………

...

For the next period of time, Fang Chang was in the process of repeated work:

Lime burning, brick burning, charcoal burning.

Fang Chang didn't stop until the limestone piled up into piles, the bricks piled up into stacks, and the charcoal filled the two pools. Looking at the results, he was very satisfied.

The firepit was burning in the house.

Besides making charcoal, lime, and bricks, Fang Chang often went to the woods to collect firewood.

This allowed his firewood reserves to increase instead of decrease, and they were neatly stacked in the straw shed. The abandoned shack before was also filled with firewood and hay.

The thatched hut where Fang Chang lived is no longer the main storage place for firewood as it used to be. Inside, there are only hay and firewood piled up under Fang Chang’s bamboo bed as spares. That pile is being used.

In the firepit, the pine and cypress branches burn quietly, occasionally making a sound of peeling, and the smoke floats upwards, smoking the bacon hanging high and low above the firepit, infusing it with fragrance, and then bypassing the roof and following the gaps on both sides escape into the outside.

But the time has not yet come, and the bacon is not yet finished.

Fang Chang only used that wild boar to make bacon once at the beginning, because when he first went up the mountain, the bag of coarse salt he brought had been used up, which made him unable to make pickled products.

It also makes my diet a little weak recently.

At present, there is no furniture in the house except for the bamboo bed and the fire pit.

There is only a small piece of large tree trunk, which Fang Chang uses as a bench.

On the wall made of bamboo chips, there are several bundles of ropes hanging, which are Fang Chang's pastimes in the evening.

There is also a big gourd next to it, the skin color is still green.

After picking it off, he could feel that the inside of the gourd was empty, and he had already finished drinking the sorghum wine he bought from the town down the mountain.

Ever since it was brought up the mountain and hung on the wall, this gourd will always be taken down at night, and Fang Changhui will take a sip of it in front of the kiln fire and the bright moon and starry sky——

Wine and the moon are very suitable.

After shaking the gourd, Fang Chang hung it on the wall again.

The lack of wine has little impact on life, it just lowers the style. It is estimated that this gourd will not be untied for a long time, and Fang Chang does not know whether it can last until the next time it goes down the mountain without spoiling.

He opened the bedside package and searched for the seeds that had been wrapped before he took it out.

They are the same size as melon seeds, but they are more square in shape, and they are very bulging. There are also those seeds purchased from Huqiao Town next to them, and they have not been sown, but Fang Chang ignored them and poured the gourd seeds. in hand.

Looking at the gourd seeds in his hand, Fang Chang smiled at them and said:

"This will plant you down and live well."

He walked around the melon field, but he felt that it was not suitable. Gourds like shade, and they are not suitable for growing with melons.

After taking a look, he compared the two places behind the thatched hut and the edge of the cliff, and Fang Chang still chose the edge of the cliff.

Maybe one day, the thatched hut will need to be flipped, which is a bit dangerous for the seedlings behind the house, and the delicate vines cannot bear too much action.

He turned the soil and planted in the shade of the big rock that he used to stay in the morning.

The location here is good, shady, fertile, easy to water, and there are big stones for gourds to climb.

Fang Chang's craftsmanship is very rough.

There is no seed soaking or germination selection, but the land is leveled, and the gourd seeds are put into the land after weeds are removed.

He is not prepared to take too much care, as for the growth and results, it is all up to God.

Thank you Ye oоo☆Feng for the reward.
