"Then, what should we do?

How about we light a few more bonfires tonight?"

Ning Lei, who had completely lost her backbone, asked tentatively.

Gu Xiaole shook his head and said:

"No, I don't think this method is necessarily effective.

Based on my experience growing up in the mountains as a child,

The beast's fear of fire is only relative,

No one can guarantee that with fire, hungry wolves will not attack humans.

What's more, we don't even know what kind of canine beast we are facing now.

How much fear do you have of fire!"

Gu Xiaole's words almost made Ning Lei sit down on the beach.

She almost cried and said:

"What should we do?

We can't just sit on the beach and wait for those beasts to come and eat us, right?"

"You don't have to be so pessimistic,

I think there must be a way!

But all this has to wait until we have enough food to eat."

Gu Xiaole's words reminded Ning Lei,

Yes, she has only eaten a few oysters and sea urchins since yesterday afternoon.

Now I'm so hungry that my front cavity is pressed against my back cavity.

But looking at the vast sea in front of me,

Where is the food?

"Eh? What are you doing?"

Ning Lei suddenly saw that Gu Xiaole had begun to put on the diving suit she found in the box yesterday.

Of course, the diving mask, oxygen tube and fins are all ready.

In addition, Gu Xiaole also held a temporary harpoon made from a tree trunk and a Swiss Army knife.

"I'm going to get some food and come back.

The coconuts I picked up yesterday should be enough to provide us with fresh water for a few days.

But our current food reserves are almost zero,

I have to get back with more food right away!"

While talking, without waiting for Ning Lei to express anything,

Gu Xiaole walked backwards (wearing flippers, it is easier to walk backwards) and slowly walked into the sea water.

With a pop, the whole person dived into the waist-deep sea water.

And soon swam deeper.

"This guy, we are all going to die.

He is so optimistic!"

Looking at Gu Xiaole’s shadow in the water,

Ning Lei muttered angrily,

Then he walked to Gu Xiaole's campfire and sat down.

Although it is broad daylight now,

She was still a little worried that the group of wild beasts that dragged away the bodies of the victims would appear on the beach at any time.

That damn Gu Xiaole is not by his side yet,

If those beasts really showed up,

My weight is less than 100 kilograms,

It’s probably not enough for their species to eat for one meal, right?

Ning Lei here feels sorry for herself,

Gu Xiaole, who had already dived to the bottom of the sea, was at home like a fish in water.

Yesterday he didn't even have swimming goggles,

This time, all the snorkeling equipment is ready.

He was already good at water since he was little, so he began to swim comfortably in those coral reefs.

Looking at all kinds of colorful fish of different sizes,

Start looking for good things that can provide them with calories and protein,

Although the harpoon in my hand is a bit crude,

But relying on the excellent fishing skills he learned in the mountains and streams when he was a child,

Soon Gu Xiaole caught two big fish weighing 3 or 4 kilograms between the coral reefs.

Seeing that the harvest was fruitful, Gu Xiaole swam back to the shore with his prey with satisfaction.

As soon as I came out of the water, I saw the beautiful girl Ning Lei.

He was angrily flicking his bonfire with a branch.

"I said eldest lady,

Even if you don’t work, don’t cause damage!”

Gu Xiaole came over carrying two big lively fish and said.

"Wow, you really caught a fish?

I thought you were bragging just now?"

Looking at the two big fish with bright colors, Ning Lei also became happy.

"boast?

When did I brag to you?"

Gu Xiaole rolled her eyes dissatisfied.

"Who told you that I would destroy it if I didn't know how to work?

Which of your eyes saw that I can’t work anymore?”

Ning Lei replied unconvinced.

"Oh, that's great!

You go to the beach now,

Use a Swiss Army knife to disembowel these two fish and clean them up carefully.

We’ll make grilled fish later!”

Gu Xiaole directly threw the two live fish that were still jumping around at Ning Lei's feet!

Those two big fish were snapping and jumping at Ning Lei's feet!

"Oh my God!

I can’t do this job!”

Ning Lei was so frightened that she jumped up.

"These two fish are so beautiful and cute,

You actually want me to dissect them all with a knife?

I can't do this, I can't do this!"

As Ning Lei spoke, she clasped her hands together as if praying for something.

"Miss? Are you a believer?

I'm just telling you to kill a fish, not killing anyone.

What is there to regret?"

Gu Xiaole curled his lips and asked.

"I am a Christian who was baptized by a bishop since I was born.

I will never do such a thing as killing!

Otherwise, please give me another job to do!"

Ning Lei rolled her eyes at him, still maintaining a penitent posture.

"Well, you can't kill the fish,

Then go to the nearby woods and find some stronger vines for me.

This doesn’t count as killing, does it?”

Gu Xiaole pointed at the jungle not far from the beach.

"Go, go to the woods?

Then, there won’t be wild beasts there, right?”

Ning Lei asked timidly,

After all, the scene of the victims' bodies being dragged away was still vivid in her mind.

"Do not worry!

This kind of beast must be nocturnal,

And you just need to collect some vines from the edge of the jungle,

Just don’t go too deep inside!

Don’t tell me that as a eldest lady, you can’t even do this little job?”

Gu Xiaole’s last words,

This stimulated Ning Lei, who was still hesitating whether she should agree or not.

Angrily, he took the Swiss Army Knife handed over by Gu Xiaole and walked directly to the jungle.

Gu Xiaole looked at her back and smiled slightly,

I think this girl's vanity is really strong.

He also picked up the two big fish and walked to the beach and started to pack them up.

He grew up in the mountains,

Naturally, he quickly cleaned up the two big fish with quick hands and feet.

He carried it back to the campfire and strung it up with branches.

Start cooking grilled fish.

It's a pity that this place is located on a desert island,

Although the ingredients are rich and fresh, they lack seasonings.

However, marine fish itself contains a lot of salt.

Coupled with the umami flavor of sea fish itself,

Soon the aroma of grilled fish began to spread from the campfire.

"Why doesn't this girl Ning Lei come back?"

Gu Xiaole took a look at the jungle,

To be honest, although he was verbally sarcastic towards this young lady,

But I sincerely don’t want anything to happen to my neighbor on a deserted island.

"You didn't really encounter some wild beast, did you?"

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaole stood up and prepared to walk into the jungle to find her.

But at this moment,

Then I saw the eldest lady Ning Lei running out of the woods with a panicked look on her face.

He ran and shouted:

"Gu Xiaole, Gu Xiaole,

There are wild animals in the woods!

It's still chasing me!"

Gu Xiaole became a little nervous when he heard this.

After all, neither of them even had any decent weapons.

It would indeed be very dangerous to encounter any large carnivores at this time!

Gu Xiaole ran over and put Ning Lei behind him.

Staring attentively at the jungle where Ning Lei ran out,

Sure enough, not long after Ning Lei passed,

There was a rustling sound in the jungle.

Gu Xiaole couldn't help but clenched the wooden stick he just picked up on the ground.
Chapter completed!
