Chapter 192 Traditional Tools

They were sitting in a hut, and He Yudong asked humbly: "Dear Elsa, I come from the outside world, and I am eager to learn more about your tribe's culture and way of life. I hope to make some contributions to the tribe, and at the same time Better integrate into this community.”

Elsa smiled and nodded, her eyes full of wisdom. She said: "He Yudong, your wish is worthy of respect. The culture of the tribe is rich and profound, and we are willing to share it with you. First, let me teach you how to collect herbs and plants in the jungle, which are important for our medical and Rituals are very important."

He Yudong humbly accepted Elsa's teachings, and they collected herbs in the jungle together. Elsa explained the uses and treatment methods of each herb in detail. He learned how to use these natural resources not only to heal injuries and illnesses, but also for rituals and celebrations.

Over time, He Yudong also learned to make the tribe's traditional tools, such as bows and arrows and fishing nets. Their lives become more and more harmonious with nature, and his relationship with Yana becomes deeper.

However, they still face threats from the outside, and unidentified hostile tribes appear from time to time, making the people of the tribe worried. He Yudong is determined to protect Yana and her homeland, while also showing his loyalty and determination to the people of the tribe.

On a warm evening, He Yudong decided to share one of his important skills - making fire - with the people of the tribe. He gathered together a group of wildling tribesmen who were interested in learning, and they all gathered around a campfire, burning with flickering flames.

He Yudong picked up two dry wood blocks and began to demonstrate how to use the friction method to make a fire. His hands moved skillfully, and the friction between the wooden blocks produced orange-red sparks. The people of the tribe watched intently, fascinated by this seemingly magical skill.

"Fire making is a very important skill that allows you to stay warm in the jungle, cook food, and even be used in rituals and celebrations," He Yudong explained. "I'll teach you how to prepare the materials you need, as well as the correct rubbing method. Most importantly, patience and persistence are the keys to success."

The tribesmen started trying it out, and although not very proficient at first, they gradually got the hang of it. He Yudong and Yana also helped them, guiding everyone kindly and patiently. The process of making a fire becomes a group effort and fosters unity among tribe members.

Under the firelight, everyone began to share their stories and experiences. An old hunter shares his tips for stalking game in the jungle, a woman talks about her experiences with herbal remedies, and another young man tells stories of his adventures. He Yudong felt that the connection between them became stronger.

As night falls, the tribesmen gather around the warm fire, laughing and singing. Yana gently said to He Yudong: "Your teachings not only help us live in this jungle, but also strengthen our community. You are a true friend and partner, and we are grateful for your existence."

The tribe members continued to sit around the campfire and eagerly asked He Yudong questions about the principle of friction fire.

He Yudong happily explained: "The principle of friction fire is actually very simple. It is based on the conversion of thermal energy. When you rub two objects, friction will be generated, which will cause the molecules on the surface of the object to start moving and generate heat. When the friction is strong enough, , the heat can ignite flammable materials such as wood."

A young hunter from the tribe, named Karl, raised his hand and asked, "So, specifically, what materials do we need to create a fire by friction?"

He Yudong smiled and answered: "Very good question, Karl. First, we need two dry wooden blocks, one of which has a small groove. Then, you need a hard wooden pole, and some soft and easy burning material, such as hay or twigs."

He went on to demonstrate in detail how to place the stick on the groove and then rub it back and forth quickly with both hands. Slowly, sawdust began to accumulate in the grooves, emitting a faint smoke. He Yudong kept rubbing, and eventually the flames jumped up among the sawdust and burned.

The tribe members stared intently at the flames, and Carl smiled with satisfaction. "It's an amazing skill and I think it's going to take a lot of practice before I can master it," he said.

He Yudong encouraged them and said, "Yes, Carl, practice is very important. It takes time and patience to master this skill, but once you learn it, it will become a very useful skill in life."

He Yudong has heard about this party for a long time, it is an annual fireworks extravaganza that attracts the richest and most influential people in the city. When he walked into the venue, he was shocked by what he saw. The venue was decorated like a fairyland, with colorful lights illuminating the entire space and gorgeous fireworks patterns decorating the walls. People were wearing gorgeous costumes, and there was endless laughter from people dancing on the dance floor.

He Yudong's friends were waiting for him at the party, hugging each other and exchanging the latest gossip and business developments. He couldn't help but feel proud because they were all talents he trained and together they created a great business empire.

Soon, He Yudong's eyes were attracted by a beautiful lady. She was wearing a charming red evening gown that looked like a blooming rose. Her long hair was spread over her shoulders, and her smile was as bright as a flower. He Yudong felt his heartbeat speed up, and he couldn't help but walk towards her.

"Hello, I'm He Yudong." He greeted her with a smile.

The lady turned her head, her eyes sparkling with intelligence, and responded: "Hello, I am Li Tingting. Nice to meet you."

The two started chatting and discovered they had many common interests. Li Tingting is a successful artist, and her works have a high reputation at home and abroad. He Yudong admired her talent very much.

As night falls, the party reaches its climax with a fireworks show. Gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the night sky, creating a beautiful scene and lighting up the smiles of He Yudong and Li Tingting. They walked out to the terrace together, overlooking the dim lights of the city.

"This is really a beautiful night," He Yudong said softly.

"Yes," Li Tingting responded, "I have never seen such a spectacular fireworks display."

In the night sky, fireworks continue to rise, blooming into a dreamlike beauty. He Yudong turned to Li Tingting, smiled and said, "Li Tingting, do you want to visit other activities of the Y City Festival with me?"

Li Tingting's eyes shone with excitement, and she nodded: "Of course, I heard that this festival has many exciting performances and exhibitions."

The two of them headed to the main venue of the festival, where a wonderful concert was going on. He Yudong and Li Tingting sat at the front, enjoying the performance of the symphony orchestra. Music flows around them, like a kind of magic, making people deep in thought.

"Do you have any special preferences for music?" Li Tingting asked.

He Yudong smiled and answered: "I like all kinds of music, but my favorite is classical music. It has a unique power that can touch people's hearts."

Li Tingting nodded to express her understanding. Then, they visited the art exhibition of the festival together and admired various paintings and sculptures. Li Tingting's eyes flicker in front of the artworks, and she has profound insights into each work.

"Have you studied art?" He Yudong asked curiously.

Li Tingting smiled and replied: "Yes, I am a graduate of an art college, and art has always been my passion. I think art can express people's inner emotions and thoughts, and it is a beautiful way of expression."

Their conversation was full of resonance, as if two souls were communicating. There were many other exciting activities at the festival, including literary lectures, fashion shows and food demonstrations, and they all participated in it and had a fulfilling and unforgettable evening.

When late night came, He Yudong sent Li Tingting home. They stood in front of Li Tingting's door and felt the magic of the night.

"Thank you for your company tonight," Li Tingting said, her eyes shining with gratitude.

He Yudong gently held her hand and responded: "You're welcome, Li Tingting. Tonight is an unforgettable night for me."

As the night progressed, He Yudong and Li Tingting's acquaintance became more profound. They began to go out together frequently and explore the city's various recreational activities and cultural venues. Their interests become increasingly similar and together they discover the city's hidden treasures.

One day, they heard about an upcoming fireworks show, which was said to be the largest of the year. Li Tingting told He Yudong excitedly, "I heard that this fireworks show will have a variety of fireworks performances, from classic fireworks to innovative light shows, as well as music and dance performances. We definitely can't miss it!"

He Yudong nodded, "Then let's experience various fireworks shows!"

When they arrived at the venue for the fireworks show, they were shocked by what they saw. Huge fireworks were arranged by the lake, lighting up the entire night. Fireworks of different colors bloom in the sky, accompanied by the melody of music, creating an intoxicating audio-visual feast.

"Look, those are meteor shower fireworks!" Li Tingting pointed excitedly at a string of dazzling sparks in the sky.

He Yudong responded with a smile: "It's so beautiful. Every firework is a beautiful painting."

Each part of the fireworks show brings a different emotional experience. From dreamy fireworks to shocking explosions, from soft water fireworks to high-altitude laser light shows, they enjoyed a variety of fireworks shows together.

As the night came to an end, they sat by the lake and watched the final round of fireworks. He Yudong looked at the gorgeous fireworks and felt a surge of emotion in his heart.
