Chapter 17: She is like a wife, looking forward to her husband coming home.

Anya did not speak, but her delicate fists were clenched tightly. She squeezed Zhang Liu's black shirt so much that it made a tearing sound.

I've already talked this far, okay? I don't want you to say anything else; I just want you to say something nice. Then you can think about starting a relationship. But you asked me if I had eaten anything wrong? Finally, the tsundere girl restrained herself to the point that she was able to say that, but now she was severely injured by her target. At this moment, she felt very frustrated.

"Hmm?" Seeing Anya's delay in responding, Zhang Liu looked even more worried. Is this snake really poisonous?

"Don't eat randomly; let's go back first." Anya didn't know that Zhang Liu might not be in the mood to discuss interesting topics with her. But now she feels uncomfortable. As she spoke, her tone gradually became lower, and she leaned her head on Zhang Liu's shoulder and looked at the flaming clouds in the sky again. Before, she felt that the scene was very solemn, but now she could only comment on it.

"Yeah" Zhang Liu was secretly worried, but given the current situation, he was anxious and could only do useless work. After taking a few deep breaths to regain his breathing rhythm, he stepped towards the cave again.

____

Inside the cave, Qin Rushuang was resting with her eyes closed, and after Zhang Liu and Anya left, she was busy cleaning and arranging. After most of the day, the effect was very noticeable.

She grabbed the foam board that was placed near the rocks and spread it flat on the ground. The same applies to coconuts, but Qin Rushuang did not have the ability to climb with coconuts, so she could only pile them under the cave.

The cave is not small, at least twenty square meters, so Qin Rushuang did not throw away all the stones but rather stacked some flat stones one meter apart at the entrance of the cave. Turn them into mini-windbreaks. Qin Rushuang also knew that Zhang Liu had been woken up by the sea breeze several times last night.

She just couldn't invite the other person to lie down with her at that time. That's why she could only pretend to be deaf and mute, but Qin Rushuang felt extremely guilty.

After all, Zhang Liu had found foam boards and such, and he wasn't able to use them all.

But the reason she is lying down to rest now is not because she is really tired but because she is afraid and anxious.

On the one hand, she was worried about Zhang Liu and Anya, and on the other hand, she was afraid of the liquid in her stomach.

Since Zhang Liu currently represented the largest workforce, Qin Rushuang made a bold decision to take the lead in testing the poison.

Qin Rushuang drank the water in the pond several times in a row.

It's refreshing and a bit bitter, but it's actually much better than coconut water, which will remain sticky in your mouth after drinking it.

However, Qin Rushuang chose to drink water after she finished tidying up the cave.

Even if poisoning occurs, you have to do some work first!

This was her insistence, but it had been a long time now, and Qin Rushuang did not feel anything strange in her body.

On the contrary, it was very comfortable as she lay down and rested for a long time.

Soon, she heard rustling footsteps and the voices of a man and a woman talking.

"Zhang Liu, I will drink this water later. You still have to test the fruit."

"but..."

"Do not worry!"

"Can we test it tomorrow?"

"No, I have to do something!"

"No drinking! You're a girl; how could I put you in danger?"

Hearing Zhang Liu's firm refusal, Qin Rushuang couldn't help but smile slightly, then slowly stood up and walked into the cave to stick her head out.

Under the faint yellowish-red sunset, Zhang Liu was walking on the beach with his upper body naked, and on his back was Anya.

"You're back?" Qin Rushuang said with a smile as her hair blew in the air with the evening breeze.

"We're back!" Zhang Liu waved his hand vigorously, and behind him, Anya took out a handful of fruit from the shirt and said, "Rushuang! We found new food!"

"Welcome home!" With a wave of her hand, the last worry in Qin Rushuang's heart quietly disappeared.

He reached out, took his hands off Anya's buttocks, and cooperated with Qin Rushuang's support. After sending the patient to the cave, Zhang Liu handed his shirt to Qin Rushuang in the cave and said, "Don't eat the fruit. We still have food. I will eat a portion of the fruit tonight. If nothing happens tomorrow morning, we can eat it together."

Qin Rushuang nodded, and at the same time, she also understood what Zhang Liu meant by giving the package to her; she turned around and poured all the Jiabao fruits inside onto a small corner of the foam board.

The shirt was returned directly to Zhang Liu, who was still waiting.

"I'm going to the beach to look for anything else useful. You can fill this bottle with some water later. Clean Anya's wound first, then put more in it. I'll test if the water is drinkable tomorrow." He took it out of his pants pocket, and after Zhang Liu handed the bottle to Qin Rushuang, he immediately turned around and left with his shirt.

But before Zhang Liu left, he heard Qin Rushuang's exclamation from inside the cave.

The reason seemed to be that she heard that Anya was injured.

Taking a deep breath and shaking off the worries in his heart, Zhang Liu continued walking to the beach.

Now that Anya was being taken care of by Qin Rushuang, he would find other resources.

Especially fire-starting materials.

Whether on the way there or on the way back, Zhang Liu pretended to be extremely confident.

But now, at least thirty-six hours have passed.

Help has not yet come.

This made him feel secretly bad in his heart.

Maybe, as is the plan, I should fend for myself on this possibly deserted island.

According to the knowledge of the survival of the wilderness mentioned:

- Fire source

- Water source

- Food

- Housing

- Survival resources

- Medical resources

As for the current water source, as long as it is confirmed that the water in the pond is safe to drink tomorrow, it will basically be solved.

The food currently includes coconuts, jiabao fruits, and other exotic fruits we've seen before, so that's not a problem.

The housing is a cave.

Zhang Liu was extremely worried about the source of the fire.

It was obviously at the top of the six major points, but it was also his weakest point.

It is also the most urgent.

Just like a snake in this afternoon.

If he had fire, Zhang Liu would not throw the snake away casually. As long as it's roasted, it will be a decent chicken-flavored protein.

As he walked to the beach, he bent down and washed his shirt over and over again.

Although it will harden and form salt after drying, it will definitely not be comfortable to wear.

But a salty shirt is better than fruit juice, which spoils and attracts flies and insects.

Zhang Liu squeezed the clothes again and again, but he did not dare to use too much force. He wasn't sure how long he would stay on the desert island, so this piece of clothing was probably his only cover.

However, Zhang Liu's goal when he came here was not just to wash clothes; he was also planning to inspect the coral reef beach closest to him.

On the reef beach here, there are strange rocks everywhere, as well as large and small pools left after low tide.

According to the video tutorial, there will be a lot of big oysters there.

Zhang Liu wouldn't dare to eat the strange fish raw; if they contained parasites, he would die.

But he still had the courage to eat the familiar oysters—that is, raw oysters—and they are big!
