Stranded on a Deserted Island, What to Do?

The two of them had lunch and started working in the afternoon without taking a long break—Hua Mu, who had never been to work, had already begun to define this ascetic-like experience in this way.

Wild Mint and Miswak are at the junction of the coconut grove and the coast, Hua Mu let Bai Zhen insert a wooden stake beside it as a mark.Naturally, the sentinel would not mistake the location, but Hua Mu always felt that it was better to be prepared.

According to the original plan, Baizhen will continue to search for water sources in the afternoon, but he has not yet decided whether to go to the west side of the island, the mountains in the middle, or simply go around the coastline to the north.

The island where the two are located is located near the equator. It has a typical tropical marine climate and should have abundant precipitation.But I don't know if it's because the storm that hit the island at the beginning wiped out all the rain in the next few days, and there has been no rain in the past ten days.

However, the area of ​​the island is not small, the terrain is also high, and there is a mountain hundreds of meters high in the middle, so the precipitation on the windward side and the leeward side may be very different.

If possible, Bai Zhen would like to go to the north of the island to have a look.

But no matter whether it is to climb the mountains or go around the coastline, it cannot be completed in half a day. She finally decided to go to the west of the island first.

Finding the coconut grove is already a great achievement, and we should not rush forward at this stage.

The sentinel's plan was naturally safe, but the eldest lady also had her own ideas.After hearing Bai Zhen's consideration, Hua Mu simply asked her to focus on finding materials and spices for assembling the distillation device.

Clean water is of course important, but it is not particularly urgent for the current two.Hua Mu is already a little numb to bathing without water, so she is not in a hurry.

Baizhen naturally followed the lead of the young lady.

Finding strong-smelling plants is not difficult for sentinels.It's just that she doesn't know most of the spices, so Hua Mu has to judge.

Baizhen has preliminarily determined that the area of ​​the island is not less than [-] square kilometers. According to the current known situation, the rainforest area is likely to account for more than half of the total area.

The origin of many spices is the tropics. After years of planting and cultivation, they have become one of the economic crops in many tropical countries.Hua Mu's judgment on the wild spices on the island was not wrong, and the two found a cinnamon tree without much effort.

Cinnamon grows in a warm and humid environment. The saplings like shade, and the mature trees like sun. They are not suitable for stagnant water. They like loose soil and well-drained sandy loam.

The two started walking south from the periphery of the coconut grove and found this cinnamon plant less than one kilometer away.

Hua Mu was very confused.

The name spice actually contains a very broad definition, and the plant-based spices used as seasonings are only a small part of it.Hua Mu learned this part of knowledge mainly because homemade essential oils are popular among noble ladies. Because she loves food, she has a deeper understanding of its role as a seasoning.

The part of cinnamon that is generally used as a seasoning is the bark, and of course the bark cannot be cut off and used directly.

"Miss, can't this be done?"

Seeing that Hua Mu didn't speak to a tree for a long time, Bai Zhen couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"... Forget it, let's find something else."

Then, things reached an impasse.Even with the white pillow, finding spices is much more difficult than Hua Mu imagined.There are indeed a lot of plants with scents, but Hua Mu found that most of them she didn't know, and the ones she knew were really useful.

The two spent more than two hours, and the final harvest was only one pepper plant of unknown species.Hua Mu has a mild taste, if it wasn't for the sake of not letting the two hours of hard work go to waste, she would definitely not be willing to pick those few red peppers.

"Don't look for it, let's go find the materials for the distillation device. Collect some wooden stakes, don't look for any glass, go to the pile of junk and find an iron frame to try first."

Hua Mu lying on the back of the white pillow was a little frustrated, the reality was never as good as imagined.He obviously only wanted to save some face today last night, but in the end he still relied on the sentry.

The coconut grove was found by Baizhen, and Miswak was also discovered because she found wild mint. It was up to her to find water, to find spices, and to make distillation equipment.

Hua Mu subconsciously touched the clear-cut muscles on Baizhen's shoulders, feeling a burst of despair.

Don't mention it, I have to rely on her to move in the rainforest!

"Little Miss?"

Bai Zhen obeyed Hua Mu's order, and was carrying her back to the south coast, when the exposed skin on his shoulders was suddenly attacked, and he almost tripped under his feet.

"What are you calling me for?"

Hua Mu had been full of energy for a whole day, but now she was a little discouraged by the setback, and her tone of answer was very lame.

Bai Zhen's back was numb when touched by her soft little hands, and his heart was itchy, but he didn't dare to speak up.

"No, nothing, are you tired?"

Hua Mu was tired, physically and mentally.

"You think everyone is like you, as strong as a cow."

Or a horse?Or is it a wolf?

No, no, it's actually more like a silly and energetic big dog.

That's a compliment for the Sentinel, but not much of a compliment for a woman.

Bai Zhen didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but he couldn't help feeling a little bit ashamed.But only if she is strong enough can she protect the safety of the eldest lady, which makes her not regret growing into the sentinel she is now.

Hua Mu said it casually, but found that the other party stopped talking, and felt depressed again.This is the normal state of talking with Bai Zhen, and the topic always ends abruptly inexplicably.For example, at this time, the other party could obviously say from the perspective of caring for her, "Miss, go back and have a good rest" or from the perspective of expressing loyalty, "Only in this way can we protect the eldest lady", but she just fell silent.

This man is so boring!

What Bai Zhen thought was that if the eldest lady is tired, it would be better not to talk to her.

"Hey."

But Hua Mu is boring.

She has been worrying about whether she can go back these days. She has no entertainment other than worrying about survival. She has only one person to talk to, and the other person is still a boring gourd. Today, she is almost suffocated.

I stayed on the white pillow for most of the day, but it was not as easy as I imagined.For example, she has to worry about whether her breasts are too tightly attached to the white pillow, whether the white pillow is dishonest when holding her buttocks, and also guard against insects and branches that come out of nowhere. It's tiring to be apart, isn't it?

"What's the matter, Miss?"

Her only pleasure is touching Shirozuki's muscles.

Even Sentinels, girls are girls after all.Bai Zhen is not as burly as the other male sentinels that Hua Mu has seen. Her lean body and tight muscles make her full of strength, but her smooth and delicate skin does not make her look too cold.

The blackness is a lot of tanning——Hua Mu hooked up the belt of her vest and found that there were already very obvious sunburn marks, but in terms of skin quality, compared to her, a famous lady who takes care of her skin every day, it is not as good. how much difference.

No, Hua Mu has already begun to suspect that she has not used skin care products for more than ten days, and her face is completely unreadable.

"What do you usually do?"

Bai Zhen didn't expect Hua Mu to ask such a question, and he didn't know how to answer it.

"You mean...after arriving on the island? I-"

"No, it was before."

Bai Zhen has been Hua Mu's guard for five years, and rarely communicates with her, and even less talks about himself with her.After all, her job is to protect Hua Mu's safety, not to chat with her.

"I'm your bodyguard..."

"Of course I know!" Hua Mu patted her, disgusted with her stupidity, "I mean, what are you doing when you're not working? You also have a vacation... Hey, do you have a vacation?"

Bai Zhen belongs to the Imperial Guard Army. As Hua Mu's personal guard, his freedom of work is not even as good as that of a personal maid.

Hua Mu suddenly discovered that Bai Zhen had never been more than 20 meters away from her, except for returning to the pagoda to report on her duties.Even at night, the Sentinel lived closest to her bedroom.

"some."

But Baizhen said she had a holiday.

"When?"

Why doesn't she know?

"One day at the end of every month."

"Isn't that the day you returned to the tower to report on your duties?"

Hua Mu was a little angry. According to this, leaving her is considered a vacation, right?

Baizhen seems to have a lot of affection for the tower, "Because the tower is my home, and I can see the leader and other friends when I go back."

The leader is the highest authority in the tower and the spiritual teacher of the sentinels and guides.Every leader comes from the royal family, but after becoming a leader, he has to be removed from the royal family and moved into the dark.The leader belongs directly to the queen, and even Hua Mu has never seen her.

It is said that the current leader is also a female sentinel.

But Huamu's focus is not on this, she was surprised as if she had discovered a new world: "Do you still have friends?"

Of course, Bai Zhen has friends, whether it is training together in the tower or the years of working together, she has gained many life-and-death friends.

This kind of friend does not need to be in constant contact, but will always be remembered in my heart.

"Ah."

Hua Mu is very unpleasant.

Bai Zhen actually has friends, and it looks like there are quite a few.

She always thought that if she was as dull as her, as taciturn as her, and as boring as her, there must be no one close to her!

"Then, do you know a lot of guides? Do you have guides among your friends?"

Of course there is.

While Sentinels and Guides have very different classes, the cooperative training definitely needs to be together.When performing tasks, there are many cases of temporary partners.

"There are indeed a few guide friends."

Well, he looks honest, but he is actually a social butterfly at all.

Hua Mu didn't know why, looking at the back of Baizhen's neck, she had the urge to bite down.

"Then have they helped you soothe your spiritual body?"

The eldest lady's tone had already turned cold, but the sentinel didn't know that he was in danger.

"It happened during missions, but most of the time it was sorted out by the public guides in the tower."

There is a problem of compatibility between sentries and guides, so even if they are very good friends, if the matching degree is not high enough, guides will not help sentries sort out their mental bodies unless it is an emergency.

Most of the public guides in the tower are experienced guides who are stable, gentle, harmonious and experienced.

Hua Mu bit her lip, and couldn't help pinching Bai Zhen's shoulder.

"Miss?"

It's not painful, not much worse than a mosquito bite.It's just that Bai Zhen didn't quite understand why she wanted to pinch him, and he was puzzled.

Hua Mu didn't know why he pinched her.

"I'll just see if your muscles are hard."
