Chapter 3: Water in Underwear Must Be Cleaned as Soon as Possible
“I'll go wandering outside again to see if there's anything else. I hope the rescue will come tonight.” When Zhang Liu noticed that the atmosphere of the conversation wasn't appropriate, he decisively put an end to this frustrating situation.
You know, feeling depressed is taboo for survival in desperate situations!
After saying that, he immediately stepped out of the shadows.
At the same time, Zhang Liu repeatedly urged Qin Rushuang not to wander off casually to prevent them from getting separated in this desolate place.
He planned to go for a hike and spend the night on the hill.
There was a small shelter near the hill.
It was better than lying on the beach and being exposed to the wind all night.
While picking coconuts earlier, Zhang Liu also explored the area and assessed the overall situation.
Although he didn't know the specifics of this place, whether it was a deserted island in the sea or not.
But when it came to food, there was no need to worry just yet.
Not to mention the various objects hidden in the dark forest that couldn't even be penetrated by light.
Nearby, there were at least a hundred coconut trees, each bearing about ten green-shelled coconuts.
Many brown coconuts had fallen to the ground as well.
After consuming a lot of coconut meat, there was no longer any coconut smell in the mouth, only a cool and smooth taste. However, if you accidentally bit into the key points, it would be mixed with wood residue and not as delicious as imagined.
But it was better than staying hungry.
He and Qin Rushuang should be able to survive for some time, even if they only ate coconuts.
However, based on what Zhang Liu knew, consuming too much coconut seemed to cause diarrhea and illness.
It would be better if they found something else to eat.
While walking along the beach, Zhang Liu caught sight of the SOS message he had painstakingly drawn. He turned his head and looked at it, feeling a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
He hoped that search and rescue personnel would spot it soon, and they could return to human society as soon as possible.
After Zhang Liu left, Qin Rushuang placed her hand on her chest, a blush appearing on her beautiful face.
When Zhang Liu had performed the foreign body examination in her mouth and administered CPR earlier, Qin Rushuang had already regained consciousness, but she wasn't fully awake yet.
After hesitating for a moment, she undressed, removing her clothes and skirt, and then unfastened her bra.
Due to their natural contours, girls' breasts can easily accumulate fluids over time and due to external factors.
Moreover, Qin Rushuang was wearing a push-up bra, which enhanced the shape of her developing figure, making it even more beautiful.
However, it also had the side effect of absorbing water easily and causing discomfort in the chest.
Under normal circumstances, she would have found a private spot to address the issue.
But with Zhang Liu nearby, Qin Rushuang felt embarrassed to take care of it in his presence.
Now that he had left, she decided to quickly handle it herself.
At the very least, she needed to squeeze out the water from the padded cups.
She put on her school uniform and then tightly wrung out the underwear.
As the clothes dripped water from her hands, Qin Rushuang anxiously peeked out from behind the stone wall to check if Zhang Liu had returned.
Despite his rescue, she worried that if he saw her in this state, it would lead to unnecessary misunderstandings.
After squeezing out the water, Qin Rushuang hurriedly put the bra back on, regardless of whether it was damp or not.
Feeling a slight dampness on her chest, she sighed and finally had a moment to look around.
Observing a nearby coconut tree, Qin Rushuang stood up and walked over.
Even though Zhang Liu had asked her not to move, Qin Rushuang was unwilling to stay idle.
Now that he had finally abandoned the first available coconut for her, she felt obliged to contribute within her capabilities.
Even if it meant picking up a few fallen coconuts from under the tree.
However, as Qin Rushuang bent down to pick up the third coconut, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, accompanied by a certain sensation.
Pale-faced, she instinctively let go of the coconut and clutched her stomach.
A strong, unfamiliar sensation began to creep from that area.
She suddenly realized something terrible.
"Considering the timing, I should be having my period now!"
But there were no sanitary products suitable for girls available here!
Fear filled her eyes, but in the next moment, Qin Rushuang gritted her teeth, endured the pain in her lower abdomen, and walked toward the coconut forest.
She wanted to continue picking coconuts and bring them back.
At that moment, Qin Rushuang realized that there was absolutely no chance of lying in bed and waiting for the maid to bring her brown sugar water.
...
Maybe it was because talking to girls lightened the mood, or maybe it was the feeling of security that came after meeting a companion.
Walking along the beach under the afternoon sun, Zhang Liu was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Alright, let's head to the beach first and prepare for the night," Zhang Liu said to himself, looking at the sun.
Although he didn't have any timekeeping equipment, judging by the height and approximate intensity of the sun, it should have been around two or three in the afternoon.
As he thought of that, he ran straight to the beach and began searching for anything that had washed up.
In addition to the temporary sustenance of coconuts, Zhang Liu now hoped to find some useful tools.
After a while, the horizon started to fill with the setting sun, indicating that it was about to go down.
But apart from spotting some unfamiliar fish on the beach and failing to catch them in the water, Zhang Liu's only discovery was a few large pieces of foam board covered in green moss and a palm-sized, extremely rusty piece of iron embedded in one of the foam boards.
Considering that the foam could be used to line their buttocks and provide insulation from the sand, Zhang Liu picked up the green algae from the surface with a stone and held it in his hands.
He carefully inserted the iron piece between the two foam boards.
Knowing what tetanus was, he didn't dare touch or use the iron piece, even when blowing on the green moss. If he needed to use it later, he would have to be fully prepared.
There were no doctors in this place. If he got injured, it would be disastrous.
Carrying a stack of foam that reached half his height, Zhang Liu walked towards the hill where they had taken shelter from the sun, but he found no one around.
Qin Rushuang hadn't stayed there, as he had told her before.
Dropping the foam in his hand, he quickly turned his head to scan the surroundings.
Zhang Liu didn't know if Qin Rushuang had been rescued or if something had happened to her.
But soon his eyes were drawn to a piece of white, triangular underwear lying on the ground.
If Zhang Liu remembered correctly, Qin Rushuang should have been wearing it under her skirt...
What was going on?
"Qin Rushuang! Where are you?" He shouted loudly as terrifying thoughts filled his mind. But soon, a very weak response came.
"Zhang Liu..." Qin Rushuang looked pale and spoke with a shallow breath as she held onto a small rock with her palms and slowly emerged. "I'm not feeling well..."
