Stranded on a Deserted Island, What to Do?

For several days in a row, Bai Zhen was asked to accompany her to sleep and go back to the cage. Until Hua Mu's menstrual period was over, she didn't go to the water source again for five whole days.

Bai Zhen felt that the eldest lady at this time was like a clingy kitten, although she would scratch her paw when she was unhappy, she was still extremely lovable.

The fresh water collected by the rain cloth, the fresh water distilled from the sea water and the fruits barely maintained the consumption of the two of them these days.But the rain still didn't come, and the rescue boats were nowhere to be seen.

Although Hua Mu tried her best to keep her body clean, she couldn't bear it until today.Her body not only needs to be wiped, but also needs to be washed with a lot of water - Hua Mu decided to go to the north of the island with Bai Zhen to find water.

Bai Zhen thought it was a rest these days, even though he didn't use the little white tablet, he is still in good spirits today.In fact, she had wanted to go to the north for a long time, but she was worried about Hua Mu—after all, physical girls are more fragile, and the smell of blood might provoke some beasts.

The two got up early that day, and after collecting the dew, they brought all the fresh water with them.

Because he brought Hua Mu, Bai Zhen chose to go around the beach to be on the safe side.The energy consumed by mountain climbing and the danger of exploring in the rainforest are far higher than those on the beach, and it is more difficult to obtain food.

The two first arrived at the coconut grove they discovered last time and picked some fruits before embarking on the journey.

The east coastline is long, with white sandy beaches connected to turquoise waters, as if there is no end in sight.Hua Mu started to walk some distance by himself, but it didn't take long before he couldn't take it anymore.The beach is not much easier to walk than the rainforest, and her tattered slippers didn't last long before they came to an end.

Even though she tried her best to walk along the rainforest, the hot sun still made her skin ache.In the end, Baizhen was carrying her on his back, and she was wearing a coat, so the speed of action of the two of them was improved.

The two of them are not simply on their way, they will occasionally go into the rainforest to check. After all, the purpose is to find water sources, no matter where there is water, it is a harvest.It is a pity that there are many puddles and swamps, but there is no clean stream.

For this reason, the two only walked three kilometers along the coast in the morning, and finally stopped by a mangrove forest.

This is a mangrove forest with a large area, and there is no end in sight at a glance.There are many silver-leaved trees, pandanus and yellow hibiscus in the surrounding area, and the dense aerial roots and muddy beaches underneath make it impossible to pass.

The mangrove forest extends tens of meters to the sea, and some trees grow almost directly in the sea.

This location is already located in the due east of the mountain. If there is no accident, you only need to bypass this mangrove forest to reach the north of the island.

It's not that Baizhen didn't try to go around the foot of the mountain when she was exploring before, but that part of the rainforest was very difficult to walk, and there was a large swamp in the middle. She smelled very bad, so she turned back halfway and didn't go that way again. Consider it.

Hua Mu was a little dazed looking at the mangrove forest, and asked hesitantly after a while, "Can we... have a way to get there?"

Rather than passing through the mangrove forest, it is better to go around the sea, but Baizhen can't estimate the area of ​​this forest, and it is dangerous to walk recklessly from the sea.

"Miss, let's have lunch first. After you have a rest, I'll go explore the way."

Hua Mu really felt a little hungry, so he followed Bai Zhen's suggestion.

The island is rich in resources, and the two have never thought about stockpiling food.After all, whether it is fruit or seafood, it cannot be stored for too long in this weather.Both of them basically use local materials and eat them now.

Lunch at noon depends on this mangrove.

The mangrove forest is dominated by mangroves, and there are many shellfish and hermit crabs in the bottom. There are also many insects and birds in the forest. It is not difficult to find food.

Bai Zhen went to look for food, and Hua Mu didn't want to be idle this time.She saw that many trees growing around the mangroves had fruits hanging on them, so she wanted to add something to her lunch.To be honest, she has eaten a lot of seafood now and has begun to miss the taste of vegetables and rice.As for the fruit, she didn't get tired of it.

Baizhen made her a cane, which was of the right length, with a hook on one end and a sharpened tip on the other as a weapon. Hua Mu used it very easily.She took a cane to the branch and "cracked" it, and immediately the leaves and fruits fell one after another, and several seabirds were also startled.

Hua Mu quickly pressed the straw hat on her head to cover her blonde hair.

Bai Zhen hadn't gone far when he heard the movement and asked loudly, "Miss, what happened?"

"It's okay, I'm bored to play, you go to find something to eat, I will call you if there is anything."

Hua Mu was afraid that she would be wordy, so she planned to get away with it.

"Then be careful and don't get too close to the mangrove."

"I know, I know."

As Hua Mu spoke, he hooked a fruit that looked a bit like a pineapple with the handle of his cane. Imagining its sweet and sour taste, he couldn't help swallowing.Although I don't know which ones can be eaten and which ones can't, it's right to smash them down first.

She knocked happily, with a sense of self-sufficiency, completely oblivious to the fact that there was a creature in a cave at the foot of the pandanus observing her every move.

Moving in the mangrove forest was more troublesome than in the tropical rainforest. Bai Zhen dared not go barefoot, and a pair of military boots almost got stuck in the mud several times and could not be taken out.She didn't leave too far, and after catching more than a dozen hermit crabs and a few snakeheads, she was ready to go back.

She didn't take a few steps when Hua Mu's scream came from her ear.

Baizhen's nerves tightened, and the ice wolf suddenly appeared behind him again.Although the five sentinel senses in the normal state are already very strong, they are still not in the same breath when compared with the physical ability and senses in the mental body possession state.

Bai Zhen ran towards the outside of the mangrove forest at high speed, and the place he passed was a mess.The aerial roots and tree trunks were smashed to pieces and staggered. It took her half an hour to walk the road and it took her back in less than 2 minutes.

"Miss!"

Hua Mu screamed and jumped, waving her cane indiscriminately and occasionally hitting the blue-purple "rock" in front of her, making a "crackling" sound.

"White pillow, white pillow!"

Bai Zhen rushed to her and kicked the half-meter-long crustacean away, then hugged Hua Mu.

"It's okay, Miss, it's okay!"

Hua Mu was still in shock, and clung tightly to Bai Zhen's body.

"There's a big monster!"

Bai Zhen has already recognized what kind of creature that kicked away thing is.

"It's not a monster, it's not a monster, it's just a hermit crab, don't be afraid, miss."

Hua Mu didn't believe it, "You lied to ghosts! How can there be such a big hermit crab!"

If it weren't for her agility, her ankle might have been crushed!

"That's a coconut crab, it's fine, really, it's dead."

The force of the sentinel's kick was not light, no matter how hard the hermit crab's shell was, its head had already been kicked to pieces.If Baizhen hadn't immediately judged its pitiful danger and its ability to be used as a food source, even the corpse would have disappeared.

"Coconut crab?"

Hua Mu has never seen a live coconut crab, but she has eaten it!

delicious.

The temptation of delicious food finally made Hua Mu willing to turn around to look at the monster.

More than half a meter long - the coconut crab with its rotten head lying pitifully on the beach, its huge pincers still moving slightly, showing its new vitality.

It seems that it is really a coconut crab.

Hua Mu hung on the white pillow, recalling the delicious food she had eaten, she couldn't help swallowing.

"Quick, take me to have a look." But she was still unwilling to come down, after all, it was a fact that she almost lost her foot just now.

Bai Zhen came out too quickly, and his body was bruised and purple.Hua Mu got excited and rubbed against her wound, the pain caused made her lick her lips.

Hua Mu was hugged by the white pillow to the side of the coconut crab, and poked it for a long time with his cane, only to jump down confidently when he saw that it hadn't moved.The coconut crab died so thoroughly that Hua Mu wanted to pick it up by himself.

"It's so big!" She wanted to touch it with her hand, but Bai Zhen stopped her and picked it up by herself, "Let me come, miss."

Hua Mu didn't rob her, and let her work as a coolie with peace of mind.

"How heavy do you think this crab is?"

"It should weigh seven or eight catties."

It weighs seven or eight catties, enough to feed two people!Although Bai Zhen killed it, she found it!

Hua Mu felt a sense of pride.

"Shall I have grilled crab for lunch?"

Seeing that Hua Mu didn't have any fear, Bai Zhen looked excited and happy instead, so he couldn't help showing a little smile.

"it is good."

"Add a few slices of wild ginger I found just now, and lemon juice."

"it is good."

Hua Mu's attention was focused on the coconut crab, and she didn't notice the scars on Bai Zhen's body for the time being. When the excitement passed and Bai Zhen was about to start a fire, she saw the blue and purple spots on the other's naked skin, and the wounds were large and small. There are countless numbers.

"White pillow! What's wrong with you?"

The white pillow coat is used for Hua Mu's sunshade, and the wound on her body cannot be hidden even if it is hidden.

"I'm fine, just scratched a little bit."

Seeing that she didn't take it seriously at all, Hua Mu was concentrating on handling the coconut crab with the dagger, and her heart was inexplicably sore and painful.

"Did you hear my cry..."

Bai Zhen has always been cautious in her actions, and only ignores her when she is in danger.At the beginning, in order to save her, she almost died, and she was recuperated in the hospital for three months before she came out.

"It's my fault that surprised you."

Not to mention, she felt ashamed to be frightened by a coconut crab.

"What a surprise! It's... I didn't see it clearly."

Hua Mu felt a little annoyed.This time it was indeed her fault, and a false alarm caused Bai Zhen to be injured.She wanted to care about a few words, but she couldn't say what she said well. It was a little weird when she said it, as if she was blaming the other party.

Obviously when facing other people, she was not so awkward.

"Fortunately, you react quickly, otherwise you will be seriously injured if you are attacked by a coconut crab."

The claws of coconut crabs can embed coconuts, and the strength can be imagined.Thinking about it now, Bai Zhen felt scared for a while, and regretted leaving Hua Mu alone in such a place.

"But I'm not hurt..."

It was obviously her who was hurt.

Hua Mu is so angry, every time she wants to do something to prove herself, but it always backfires.

"I'm fine, I'll be fine in a few days."

Hua Mu stared at her for a while, and finally said angrily: "As you like."

She finally realized what was bothering her.

She was annoyed that Bai Zhen didn't take her own body seriously, that she couldn't understand her concern, and that she couldn't help caring even though she knew it.

She is the lady of the dignified duke's family, the heir to the throne of the empire, why does she have to care about a guard!

The author has something to say: Hua Mu: I will be ashamed, but you will be hurt...why do you think it is still my loss?

Coconut crabs can grow up to one meter in length, and the largest ones weighing six kilograms have been caught.It gets its name because it can climb coconut trees and likes to eat coconut meat, and it also eats the fruits of the pandanus tree.It is said that the meat has a coconut aroma and tastes like lobster. Although I have never eaten it, I am already drooling.
