Chapter 4: Old Acquaintances
When I heard this, I became nervous. Is there any wild beast?
But after I pricked up my ears and listened for a long time, I couldn't help but feel helpless. There was no strange sound, just the rustling leaves of the sea breeze.
This woman is too brave.
However, I think so, some men are afraid of this wilderness.
Xiao Qing grabbed my hand in fear, leaving me speechless. Haha, why don’t you dislike me at this time?
If I get closer to you, do you think you are too embarrassed?
Now, I'm here to rely on me.
I wanted to laugh at her for a few words, but I was really sleepy and too lazy to pay attention to this woman, so I fell down and fell asleep again.
By the time I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
What surprised me very much was that Xiao Qing actually got up before me.
But for some reason, she didn't seem to hate me as much as she did yesterday, and she didn't criticize me for nothing.
This made me feel much more relaxed.
After resting for a night, we soon became hungry again. Xiao Qing wanted to take out the food to eat, but I stopped her.
In Xiao Qing's puzzled eyes, I walked towards the beach.
The beaches of this deserted island are not all sand, there are some very soft mud. I used a rectangular stone as a shovel, squatted on the ground, and dug up the mud with great effort.
Soon, I dug out some small insects such as earthworms.
When Xiao Qing saw this, she asked me what she was going to do. I said, "I'm looking for food."
She immediately looked at me with disgust, "I said, what are you doing to make yourself dirty? The food you mentioned yesterday is this earthworm? If you want to eat it, you will eat it yourself, I won't eat it!"
As he said that, Xiao Qing moved her feet even further away from me.
At this time, there was a lot of mud on my hands and body. She probably thought I was dirty, and there was the earthworm, which made her feel disgusting when she looked at it.
I ignored her, let alone earthworms, it was really disgusting. Should animal feces be eaten?
Want to survive in the wilderness, but still disgusting food?
Of course, I won’t eat earthworms at this time, and I haven’t reached that point yet.
This thing is a fish-catching treasure.
On the deserted island, we don’t have the right lines and hooks. If we want to fish, it’s impossible now, but I have other ways!
After a while, I dug out a lot of earthworms and twisted around the ground, which made me feel a little disgusted.
Xiao Qing was looking at the sea sadly there, as if after looking at the sea for a while, a rescue ship would suddenly appear.
I couldn't help but want to tease her, so I picked up an earthworm and threw it on her, which scared her and screamed.
Under Xiao Qing's angrily gaze, I picked up the stone and smashed the earthworms into pieces. A strong smell of mud spread out immediately.
Wrap these broken earthworms with leaves, I put them into a puddle that had been prepared long ago and pressed them with stones.
Xiao Qing didn't understand what I was doing, and she looked confused.
I was too lazy to pay attention to her, so I just laughed, "Wait, we can have good food at noon!"
After hearing what I said, she didn't believe it at all, "I don't believe you. Xiao Lian and the others told me that in the company, you liked to be lazy and brag, and often delayed our performance. I've long wanted to fire you..."
I was furious when I heard this. Made, it’s another guy, Qin Xiaolian and Liu Hui. I like to be lazy and bragging the most?
Did I delay my performance?
This skill of turning black and white is really awesome.
With their contributions, it turns out that in Xiao Qing's eyes, I am a lustful, vulgar, lazy and bragging waste!
Xiao Qing, you are also a silly girl. I’m afraid that one day you’ll be sold and you will help you count the money!
I was too lazy to explain anything, so I just left a sentence, "Then just wait and see." Then, I turned around and walked towards the bonfire.
There is still some time before noon, so I plan to pick up some firewood and take a good rest and save some energy.
Speaking of picking up firewood, Xiao Qing was very excited and worked hard to pick up a lot of them. I guess she thought she could do this job and had to make some contributions.
She told me, "Sister, I am the president of the company after all. Even if I go to this deserted island, my survivability is no worse than you."
I said a few perfunctory words, but I couldn't help but complain in my heart, just your spoiled appearance is not worse than mine?
Of course, I actually understand that this girl is just stubborn. In fact, she knows in her heart that she, a weak woman, has to wait for rescue on this deserted island. It would not work without me as a man, so her attitude towards me today has become much gentler.
In this way, it was noon soon. I looked at the sea water condition and felt it was almost done. So I hurriedly ran to the place where I put the bait.
As expected, there was a big fish swimming around in the puddle!
"There are fish to eat!"
I couldn't help swallowing and smiled happily.
Xiao Qing was also shocked. Unexpectedly, I actually got food. And it was such a big fish. I was also very surprised and my saliva was so greedy.
There is no way, we are indeed too hungry.
When I jumped into the puddle to catch fish, Xiao Qing asked me curiously, how did this be done.
I thought about it and explained it to her. Yesterday I discovered that the rise and fall of the water in Shanghai on the deserted island here is very strange.
At noon, there will be about one or two hours of high tide, and the puddle will be flooded by sea water.
The dead earthworms I put in the pit have a very strong fishy smell and will definitely attract many fish.
When the tide recedes, many delicious guys will be left in the pit, and they will come when I harvest it.
Soon, I caught a big fish in the water. It seemed to be the legendary ginseng and grouper in the water. It must have a wonderful taste, and in addition to this grouper, there are also a few crabs and some small fish and shrimps.
Originally, according to the rules of our fishermen, the fish and shrimps they caught were to be put back to the sea, but at this time, I thought that we were wandering on deserted islands and whether we could survive was a problem, so I did not abide by this rule.
Xiao Qing and I returned home with a full load, and both of us were in a good mood.
Soon, I set up a temporary barbecue grill on the beach. I took out the fish and grilled it. I made several skewers with the small fish and shrimps.
My cooking skills are still very good. Soon the big fish was roasted by me and the golden oil dripped into the fire, making a sniffle sound.
Xiao Qing's greedy saliva was about to flow down.
We ate, and it felt like we were completely speechless.
This fish is really big, probably about four kilograms, and the two of us are more than enough to eat.
At this time, Xiao Qing didn't pretend to be a lady anymore. She ate so fast, and of course I was not inferior. After all, I was really hungry. Moreover, the fish I grilled had no seasoning, but the taste was still not bad.
After eating a little full, Xiao Qing looked at me with some gratitude, "I wronged you this time. I didn't expect you to be really capable, thank you!"
I said, "Now I know I'm not the kind of bragging person. I used to be in the company..."
I hesitated for a moment and wanted to tell me about Qin Xiaolian and the others. Otherwise, I would be a little reluctant to hold back this tone.
However, what I didn't expect was that just as I was about to open my mouth, the bushes by the beach suddenly started to shake violently.
This shocked me and I immediately had a bad premonition. Could it be that the fragrance of our grilled fish attracted some large beasts?
Seeing that Xiao Qing was still ignorant, I rushed over and pressed her under me.
Xiao Qing was shocked by my sudden actions. She thought I was going to mock her, so she immediately wanted to scream.
"Shut up! Something is coming!"
I yelled in a low voice.
After hearing what I said, Xiao Qing was also panicked. We were both arrogant and dared not show up.
However, what I never expected was that what came out of the woods was not a large beast, but two people, and these two people were my old acquaintances, Qin Xiaolian and Liu Hui, a dog-like man and woman!
