Several wide leaves were erected next to the reef to provide shade, and then a wooden stick and a vine were used as fishing rods, and the bloody snake heads were used as bait.
She sat lazily under the leaves, staring at the sea without moving. When she felt there was movement, she quickly closed the vines to take a look. If there was no movement, she sat there and piled sand to play.
Lu Mingzhu was very angry. She and Chu Xiaoqin were driven to the other side of the sea to fish. They were hot, tired, hungry and thirsty, but they couldn't stand her carefree look.
She walked onto the beach and shouted loudly to Yunshu from a distance: "You are not in a hurry to hunt for treasures, you always want to find something to eat and drink, right?"
Don’t be afraid of dying of thirst here!
Yun Shu glanced towards her and continued to pile sand.
The sand was washed clean in the sea water and put into a funnel made of a large leaf. Then she washed slightly larger stones, water plants, and a small piece of cloth torn from her own clothes.
Several layers of different things form a simple water filtering device. Seawater is poured in from the top, and clean water flows out from the bottom.
She folded another leaf into a small bowl, then took a few sips and squinted her eyes happily.
Lu Mingzhu watched from a distance. She didn't know whether it was because of anger or the sun, but her head felt dizzy. She simply left Chu Xiaoqin to spear fish alone, and slowly leaned towards Yun Shu.
When he got closer, he pretended to be casual and asked: "What are you drinking? Is this okay to drink?"
Yun Shu glanced at her and said calmly: "Have you ever used tap water before?"
"No, we all use well water."
"oh."
She folded another small bowl, took the water and handed it over.
Lu Mingzhu was still a bit embarrassed. The two of them had just had a bad fight, and she didn't expect Yun Shu to take the initiative to hand her water.
It didn't seem right to just take it and drink it, so she held the small bowl and chatted a few words like the old lady was grinding her teeth, stumbling and asking: "You, how can you do this?"
"My previous school used water from a reservoir, but the water quality was very poor and turned yellow. Some teachers used this earthen device to filter the water before using it. This is very simple. It would be better if there was charcoal."
Yun Shu still looked cold and her tone did not fluctuate.
Lu Mingzhu didn't know what was wrong with her, water even touched her mouth. When she heard what she said, her brain twitched and she actually said:
"I can make charcoal."
Yun Shu looked at her strangely.
Lu Mingzhu felt strangely uncomfortable, so she raised her voice like a quarrel and made excuses: "We have to grill fish anyway. No one wants the cooked charcoal, so we have to throw it away. I might as well give it to you."
"You don't want to pick up rags with your mouth, right? Give me back the water."
She tried to snatch the leaf bowl back, but Lu Mingzhu took two steps back, drank the bowl of water in one gulp, then threw the leaf bowl away and ran away.
"Contact more, and I'll ask Chu Xiaoqin to drink water! In exchange for equal value, we can let you eat some fish!"
Yun Shu scoffed at her hurried away figure.
The setting sun melts gold, and the orange-red light spreads on the sea, making the waves sparkling.
It looks good, but it's just a sign that it's getting dark.
As the sky gradually darkens, the ocean in the distance turns blue-black, and the endless deep sea is scary to look at.
The exhausted Chu Xiaoqin came back with the irritable Lu Mingzhu and found Yun Shu who had moved to the beach.
One tried hard to hide his anxiety and maintain a good expression, while the other couldn't hide his worries at all. When the two people came over, you knew without asking that they didn't catch the fish.
Yun Shu pushed two leaf bowls in front of them.
The water filter was right in front of her, separating them.
Next to it was a pile of vines that had been softened by hammering, and several large leaves, neatly stacked on top of each other. There was a hole dug on the edge of the leaves, and there were two fish in it.
Chu Xiaoqin, who was about to speak, looked at the two fish in astonishment.
"You, you really caught a fish?"
Yun Shu nodded and tapped his position with a small wooden stick: "You grill the fish——"
Then he pointed at Lu Mingzhu's position: "You make a fire and burn some charcoal."
This matter is not difficult, but Lu Mingzhu is dissatisfied with her way of making the decision, squinting and complaining habitually:
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you caught a fish? It was fun to watch us working hard there spearing fish?"
Chu Xiaoqin's face also looked a little unnatural.
"Yunshu, when did you catch the fish?"
She took a steady look at the two people, and then covered the fish with leaves.
"After you drink the water, go drink the northwest wind. I'll grill the fish myself later, so I won't bother you."
"..." Chu Xiaoqin opened his mouth and said with an embarrassed smile, "We didn't mean that. It's okay, I won't ask anymore. I'll go deal with the fish."
Lu Mingzhu was still muttering, but Yun Shu used a small wooden stick to overturn her leaf bowl.
The water inside poured into the sand and disappeared instantly.
Lu Mingzhu opened her eyes wide: "What are you doing?! Is there..."
"I'm warning you, the fish is mine. If I'm generous enough to let you use your labor in exchange for the right to eat fish, this is already the pinnacle of my life. If you say another bad word, I'll stuff the snake head bitten by the fish into your mouth.
.”
Lu Mingzhu: "..."
After two people's efforts, Yun Shu finally ate the tasteless grilled fish.
After eating, Chu Xiaoqin wanted to have a campfire conversation about sharing the same fate, but Yun Shu was not interested.
She is getting ready to go to bed.
Chu Xiaoqin sat next to Lu Mingzhu, laughing and teasing her as if nothing had happened.
"That's what happened last time. You always eat and sleep, and occasionally play other things, just like my nephew. But it's not safe here, so it's better for everyone to live together, and sleep next to each other here, right?"
"No need," Yun Shu walked up, "I'm afraid of snakes."
At the mention of snakes, Lu Mingzhu almost jumped up.
"Wait a minute! Then, where are you going to sleep?"
"On the tree."
She had already chosen a tree during the day and tied several branches to the branches.
After climbing up, use a vine to tie several large leaves together and spread them out into a fan to keep out wind and rain.
Then use a vine to tie yourself to the trunk of the tree to prevent it from falling if you fall asleep in the middle of the night. A simple tree nest is ready, which can fully support it for two or three nights.
Chu Xiaoqin and Lu Mingzhu looked dumbfounded below.
Lu Mingzhu murmured to herself: "She said she also lives in a mountainous area? It couldn't be Mount Emei, right?"
Chu Xiaoqin: "..."
The two of them also followed suit and climbed trees by picking vines.
The island is so hot during the day that the sun seems to be right in front of your eyes, and the night is so dark that it feels like the sky is hanging low above your head.
The chirping of insects and birds was nothing, but the sound of waves was strange and dull, as if there was a beast waiting to devour them at any time.
Yun Shu was not used to such an environment, and she kept her eyes open for a long time without falling asleep.
I was so sleepy that my eyelids were trembling. Just when I was about to close my eyes, a light suddenly shone in my peripheral vision.
She regained her energy, took a closer look, and found that it was something washed up by the waves, a bit like a mirror, reflecting light at a certain angle.
