Chapter 403: The Island
Chapter 403 Island
The moment the water broke, Su Ying saw a white-haired man.
The white-haired man was startled when he saw Su Ying, and the net in his hand suddenly let go.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why did you loosen the fishing net? Pull it up quickly. There must be a lot of fish in it because it's so heavy."
The white-haired man came to his senses and pulled up the fishing net hard, but all the fish in the net ran away.
Su Ying didn't want to move, so she just lay down in the fishing net and pretended to be dead.
It took a lot of effort for the brother and sister to catch the fishing net up.
"Ah, why is there someone in this fishing net? She, she's not dead, right?" Su Ying heard the little girl on the boat speak, and her voice was quite pleasant.
The next moment, Su Ying felt someone approaching her, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
"ah!"
"ah!"
Plop!
The water splashed everywhere, and the two figures were frightened and fell into the sea.
The corners of Su Ying's eyes twitched, she wasn't so timid, was she?
She looked at the two siblings splashing in the water and reached out to fish them out, but they stared at her very warily.
The white-haired man protected the little girl behind him. They were fishermen and their water skills were not a problem. Su Ying saw that they were fine and was not in a hurry to speak.
"Who are you and how did you come to us?"
The little girl hid behind the boy and stuck out half of her head to look curiously in Su Ying's direction.
"I was washed here by the water. Thank you for saving me."
Perhaps because they didn't sense any malice in Su Ying, the brother and sister gradually relaxed their vigilance.
"Are you really not a bad person?"
Su Ying thought this pair of siblings was a bit funny, "If you ask that, of course I will tell you that I am not."
These words successfully alerted the two siblings.
Su Ying shrugged helplessly and reached out to them, "Come up, I'm not a bad person."
Perhaps Su Ying's appearance made the two of them uneasy. After returning to the boat, they did not continue fishing but drove the boat back to the shore.
Su Ying discovered that they were on a small island in the sea. This island seemed to be independent of the sea. At least there was no other mainland visible around the island. This was really far away.
"Sister, where are you from?" The little girl looked about eight or nine years old. Her big, watery eyes were full of clear light. She was really a pair of beautiful eyes.
As if he didn't like Su Ying looking at the little girl like this, the white-haired man stepped forward and stood between the two of them.
Su Ying looked back and said, "I was rushed here by the flood."
The white-haired man said with a cold face, "We have done our best to save you, so please don't follow us."
Su Ying had no intention of pestering the other party, "Can you tell me where this is? Are there other countries outside the island?"
Motu took the little girl and said without looking back: "Yes, but it's far away. We've never left here, so if you want to ask me how to get there, I don't know."
Su Ying was not a shameless person. Since she was so unwelcome, she had no intention of licking her face.
This island is not small, and there are many small fishing boats parked on the coast.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Su Ying didn't want to scare the fishermen at night. She planned to spend the night at the beach and ask about the situation on the island tomorrow.
She found a sheltered place, cut some large leaves and branches to make a tent, and lay down inside.
During this period of time, because she had been in water and space, and had hardly seen light, her joints were suffering from calcium deficiency.
Su Ying was lying on the beach. Many small crabs came out of the sand and crawled onto her feet. She turned over and sat up and picked up the small crabs. The first thing she thought of was Xiao Jin and the two children.
After falling from that damn place, they probably thought she was dead.
Without the space and equipment, she really wouldn't have survived.
As night fell, the fishermen who went out to sea for fishing returned to the island one after another.
Su Ying got up and found a shallow beach to see if there were any stranded fish or shrimps here.
These fish were all stranded on this shoal after low tide, and there were quite a few of them.
Su Ying took out the dagger from her body and caught a fish as big as half an arm in a blink of an eye. Then she caught a few crabs, touched the conch and pulled some sea vegetables before returning to her small tent.
After cleaning the fish and crabs, she went to pick up some dry branches and came back.
Although this place is an island with high humidity, it has enough sunshine and the branches are very dry.
Su Ying skewered the fish and grilled it on the fire, while the crabs were directly thrown into the fire and burned.
Soon, some fishy umami smell wafted out.
Su Ying used a branch to pull out the crabs. The two large crabs were burnt black, but the meat inside the hard shell was cracked open with a stone, but the meat was fresh, white and tender.
Su Ying didn't expect that this thing would be so delicious if it was simply cooked without adding anything.
After eating, the sky gradually became dark, but Su Ying did not intend to rest there. Instead, she planned to take advantage of the night to walk around the island to understand the island's environment. This was her habit.
Su Ying walked into the island through the night.
She didn't walk long before she saw many wooden houses, some of which were dark inside, and some of which had a solitary lamp hanging on the porch.
When she walked around a corner, Su Ying saw the little girl sitting in a small yard with the white-haired man during the day. It looked like she was repairing a damaged fishing net.
"Brother, do you think that sister was sent by some bad people?"
The white-haired man shook his head when he heard this, "I don't know."
"Then why doesn't brother help sister? She will be afraid of the dark if she is alone outside."
The white-haired man stopped what he was doing and looked at the little girl seriously, "Queque, what if she is a bad person?"
Queque lowered her head and said, "I think my sister is not a bad person."
The white-haired man patted her head, "Why not? She scared away our fish, didn't she? Well, go back to sleep first, and my brother will take you out to sea for fishing tomorrow."
Queque nodded obediently and stood up and walked into the house.
The white-haired man suddenly raised his head and looked outside the courtyard, but it was pitch black and there was nothing there. He frowned slightly and stood up and walked over and looked around. After making sure that no one was there, he turned around, put away the fishing net and returned to the house.
After the man closed the door, Su Ying came out of the darkness.
It took her a while to figure out the situation of the entire island. There was a large forest in the middle of the island, and the freshwater resources of the islanders came from that forest.
After figuring out the basic situation, Su Ying returned to her tent and meditated to adjust her breathing.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn.
Su Ying got up and planned to go back to the shoal yesterday to finish her breakfast.
"What are you doing? That's the cage my brother and I put down yesterday. The fish in it belongs to us. You are not allowed to rob it!"
