Taoyuan Little Miracle Doctor

Chapter 177 Drilling wood to make fire
In the mobile phone Lin Wanrou gave Wang Chen, there was a photo that surprised him.

The picture shown in the photo is that a corner of the roof of a house is exposed on the hillside. From the shooting angle, the entire house is hidden in the mountain.

When he saw the photo, Wang Chen had two doubts.

First, this place is deep in the mountains and old forests, and there are few people on weekdays. But why does a house appear here?

Second, even if someone wants to build a house here, it will usually be built high on the mountain, at least above the ground level. But why is this house in the mountain?

These two questions puzzled Wang Chen.

At the same time, it also gave him a strong sense of curiosity about this house.

He really wanted to find this place and go in to find out.

However, he asked Zhang Hu and others, but they had no impression of such a scene. When he asked Lin Wanrou who took the photo, Lin Wanrou also said that she just took it casually and didn't pay attention.

These various reasons hindered Wang Chen's pursuit of novelty.

He had no choice but to give up the idea.

But today, by chance, he saw the exact same scene as in the photo.

When he saw the corner of the house, he became excited.

"It's really hard to find nowhere to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it!"

Wang Chen muttered excitedly and ran straight ahead.

While running, I took out my phone and found the photo.

After getting closer, he compared it. The photo was completely consistent with the scene in front of him, and even the angles were surprisingly consistent.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess that Lin Wanrou took the photo where Wang Chen was standing that day.

Wang Chen put his cell phone in his pocket, and then stepped onto the exposed corner of the roof.

Looking from above, except for the corner where he stood, the rest of the house was hidden in the mountain.

However, it is not a house built with the help of the mountain. Instead, the mountain is completely hollowed out and a house made entirely of bricks and tiles is built in this large artificially excavated cave.

This made Wang Chen extremely surprised.

The bricks and tiles used in the house are not the current red bricks and red tiles, but the large blue bricks from ancient times. As for the tiles, they are gray with some carvings on them.

Those carvings have not been worn away even though they have withstood countless years of wind and rain. In some places, they are still so lifelike.

Wang Chen didn't know exactly when this house was built, but it had a history of at least 200 years.

At that time, building a house in a village was not an easy task.

Not to mention hollowing out the mountainside to build a house.

The difficulty of this kind of project is, in a sense, not much lower than building the Great Wall on the mountain.

Based on this analysis, Wang Chen felt that the person who built this house was definitely not a simple character. He must at least be a wealthy family at the level of an ancient landowner or a squire.

After seeing this, Wang Chen had a thought in his mind, could there be any treasure hidden in it?

As soon as he thought about this, he immediately walked down the hillside with a strong sense of curiosity.

Soon, after going around a hill, he walked to the front of the house.

Although the places where you stand are all green grass, the feeling of stepping on different places is also different.

The bottom of the straight path extending from the main entrance of the house is very hard, while the side is relatively soft.

It is not difficult to judge from these that the hard place was once a path.

Looking forward along this line, the whole view of the house came into Wang Chen's eyes.

The bricks and tiles are still the same as before, but the doors and windows are basically rotten.

There are many holes in the wooden door, and the wood next to the holes has become like sawdust, which is obviously old.

And the window was already shaky.

However, there are two very thick iron bars standing in the middle of the window, so there is no worry about the window edge falling.

boom!
Whoa!
When Wang Chen stopped to watch, the heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally poured down.

In order to prevent the herbs in the bag from getting damp, Wang Chen hurriedly opened the door and ran inside.The house is in a mountain, and the mountains on both sides just block it. In addition, the dark clouds are thick at this time, making it pitch black inside and you can't see your fingers.

Wang Chen stopped at the door and did not dare to go in rashly, fearing that there would be wild beasts and the like.

He took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight, illuminating an area in front of him.

Then, he picked up the stones on the ground and threw them in a few times.

Gala!Gala!
The stone fell from mid-air and landed on the ground. In addition to making a crisp sound, there was also some echo.

It is not difficult to judge from these echoes that the room is very empty.

A minute later, when Wang Chen didn't hear the sound of any wild beasts or poisonous insects, he slowly walked inside with his cell phone.

From the outside, the house looks like just one room.

However, at this time, the light of the flashlight is difficult to illuminate directly from the center point to the wall.

From this point, it is obvious that the house must be very large.

Drip!

At this time, the phone suddenly sounded a notification tone.

Wang Chen lowered his head and saw that the battery level was less than [-]%.

Such a scene left him speechless.

One percent battery means it will shut down at any time.

Originally, I wanted to use the flashlight of my mobile phone to illuminate the way forward so that he could satisfy all his curiosity.

Now it seems that it doesn't work.

"There is no light, how can I see the scene inside clearly?"

When Wang Chen sighed, he tentatively touched his pocket. Apart from some cash, there was nothing else in his pocket.

As a non-smoker, he didn't even have anything in his pocket that could light a fire.

Wang Chenling hesitated for a moment: "It seems that we can only try the method of drilling wood to make fire that our ancestors used back then."

Wang Chen had seen the method of drilling wood to make fire in the book left by his grandfather.

Although he has never actually practiced it, he is still very sure about it.

The house was in disrepair and no one lived in it. There was a lot of hay in the corners. Then Wang Chen knocked down some rotten wood from the window and moved in a sunken smooth stone.

In this way, everything needed is ready.

Then, Wang Chen turned off his cell phone, squatted in front of these tools, and started drilling wood.

This process is a bit long, but Wang Chen is not in a hurry.

It's raining heavily outside, and looking at the thickness of the dark clouds, I'm afraid it won't stop in a short time.

About four or five minutes later, a spark appeared from the dry grass on the sunken stone.

Seeing this, Wang Chen's hand movements sped up a little faster.

call!
When the sparks grew bigger, he blew gently, and the sparks suddenly turned into flames.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen quickly put other hay on top.

When the flames grew bigger and bigger, he retrieved the wood that had fallen from the doors and windows.

After a while, the light in the room became brighter and brighter.

Wang Chen felt that this time, it should be able to light up the entire space, right?

However, when he turned around to look, he realized that it was only half illuminated.

However, he was not discouraged by this. Instead, he became more and more excited and excited by the scenes that emerged in this half of the space.

"Baby! This is a real treasure!"
