When the two returned to the beach, Su Shijun’s face was flushed red and she remained silent, quickly taking her underwear off the rack.
After a long period of drying, the underwear was now dry.
Seeing Qin Hui staring intently at her underwear, Su Shijun shot him a fierce glare.
Qin Hui immediately turned his head away, looking embarrassed.
After a while, the sounds of clothes rustling ended, and only then did Qin Hui turn his head back.
“Sister Shijun, I really didn’t mean to take advantage of you just now. I was treating your illness.”
Qin Hui said with sincere apology.
“Hmph, do you think your sister is an idiot? Why did you rush over the moment I called you?”
Su Shijun questioned directly. She knew that Qin Hui hadn’t woken up after she called him several times, but he had immediately rushed over the moment she was in danger.
There was only one answer: Qin Hui had been pretending to sleep.
The thought of herself wandering around in front of Qin Hui in her underwear made Su Shijun’s face flush, and her heart beat a few extra beats.
“This, this…”
Qin Hui’s face turned red; it was clear he had been found out.
“Ahem, Sister Shijun, it’s almost evening. I’m getting hungry. You can cook this snake, and I’ll go find some crabs and small fish.”
Qin Hui quickly changed the subject.
Su Shijun’s gaze fell upon the venomous snake, and then her body trembled.
She had been bitten by this venomous snake earlier. If she were asked to cook it, it would have been beyond her tolerance.
“Never mind, I’ll go catch crabs and small fish instead.”
Su Shijun stood up and picked up the small basket Qin Hui had woven earlier.
“Sister Shijun, can you catch them?”
Qin Hui asked with some curiosity.
“What, you look down on your sister?”
“I grew up by the sea. Catching crabs is easy peasy for me, isn’t it?”
Su Shijun said confidently.
Seeing Su Shijun’s confidence, Qin Hui could only nod. He then began to deal with the venomous snake himself.
While dealing with the snake, Qin Hui’s gaze kept drifting towards the sea. Seeing Sister Shijun’s figure there made him feel much more at ease.
Night fell, and the sky was dotted with stars.
Such a beautiful night scene, but it was a pity it was on a deserted island.
While cooking dinner, Qin Hui tried many methods to contact the outside world, but all failed.
Finally, Qin Hui found several sticks and inserted them into the cracks of the rocks, making survival marks on top of the sticks. If one day someone saw these marks, Qin Hui would have a chance to leave this place alive.
Compared to lunch, their dinner was undoubtedly much more abundant. There was not only delicious snake meat but also fresh crabs, especially the delicious crab roe, which was much fresher than what they ate in the city.
This meal was a much-needed replenishment. Qin Hui wished he could eat everything he had missed from being hungry.
However, in the end, Qin Hui stopped eating when he was about seventy percent full. If he ate too much, it would be disastrous.
On the contrary, Su Shijun ate with great decorum. Watching her eat was a very pleasing sight.
“Xiao Hui, when do you think we’ll be rescued?”
Su Shijun asked with some anticipation. If no one came to rescue them, they might have to stay here forever.
“That’s probably very difficult. Because there’s no signal here, it means there’s a large magnetic field. Even if they wanted to find us, they wouldn’t be able to locate this isolated island.”
“It’s even harder for us to leave here. If we encounter sharks midway, our bamboo raft can’t withstand their attack.”
Qin Hui analyzed calmly.
Long before arriving at this deserted island, Qin Hui had already started planning for the future.
After hearing Qin Hui’s words, Su Shijun’s initial hope turned into despair. Although she didn’t want to accept this reality, she had to.
Seeing Su Shijun looking so dejected, Qin Hui smiled and said, “Well, at least we’re still alive, right?”
“Some unlucky people have already become food for sharks in the sea.”
“You don’t want to be shark food, do you?”
After being comforted by Qin Hui, Su Shijun’s mood undoubtedly improved significantly.
That’s right, let tomorrow’s worries be for tomorrow. Let’s live through today first!
After dinner, the two sat by the campfire, idle and warming themselves.
The beach might have been beautiful during the day, but it started to get cold as evening approached.
The temperature difference on this deserted island was quite large. It seemed they would need to find a place to sleep tomorrow. They couldn’t possibly sleep in the cold wind every night.
Seeing Qin Hui lost in thought, Su Shijun didn’t want to disturb him. She found that Qin Hui looked quite manly when he was like this.
Hmm?
Qin Hui suddenly looked up. He saw a black dot in the distance steadily approaching them!
The deserted island at night was undoubtedly the most dangerous. Some large predatory animals always appeared at night.
Not to mention that Qin Hui was also making a fire here; the firelight would undoubtedly attract many animals.
Qin Hui could protect himself, but if he had to consider Su Shijun, he had to be more cautious.
Animals were exceptionally fierce. Qin Hui feared encountering wolves the most because they hunted in packs, specifically targeting the weakest!
However, as the black dot got closer, it vaguely took on a human shape.
“Xiao Hui, that, that looks like a person. Could it be someone who drifted here with us?”
Su Shijun said excitedly. If they could find a companion here, it would be the happiest thing.
“Wait a moment. That’s not necessarily true.”
Qin Hui stood up and walked towards the figure. This was a deserted island, and savages were also people. Savages primarily ate humans!
Gradually, the outline of the figure appeared before Qin Hui.
Upon seeing the owner of the figure, Qin Hui’s face was filled with disbelief and shock. He immediately sprinted towards the figure!
“Hui, Brother Hui, I, I finally found you.”
Li Dazhuang’s legs went weak, and before Qin Hui could reach him, he collapsed onto the ground.
A short while later, Qin Hui arrived beside Li Dazhuang, picked him up, and carried him to his campfire.
At this moment, Li Dazhuang had fainted. His lips were extremely chapped, and his face was very pale.
It was evident that Li Dazhuang hadn’t eaten for several days.
“Quick, give him some food.”
Qin Hui hurriedly opened the pot and began to cook the remaining crabs and snake meat. Su Shijun then picked up some fresh water and began to pour it into Li Dazhuang’s mouth.
After the fresh water entered his stomach, Li Dazhuang began to drink greedily.
He had been severely dehydrated these past few days. If he hadn’t seen the campfire light in the night, he wouldn’t have come running alone.
Li Dazhuang hadn’t considered going into the jungle to find food and water, but he had encountered large wild animals. The scars on his body were proof of everything!
