Chapter 036: People from the Island

In this way, the day passed peacefully and hastily.

At night, thick clouds covered the moon's brightness, and even the wind could not move it.

Chu Zhiling made two beds. The two beds were not far apart and were arranged vertically. Xin Yue turned his eyes slightly and could see Chu Zhiling's handsome face. A very small piece of moonlight shone on his forehead.

It looks a bit cold.

At that moment, even Xin Yue's heart felt a little cold. She thought, if she reaches out and twists his neck now, what is the possibility of successfully killing him?

She only had such a thought for a moment. She recognized the current situation clearly. Her body was still recovering, and her skills had only recovered 10% of its previous state. She didn't know the depth of Chu Zhiling's kung fu, and she didn't know how to steal the chicken but lose the rice.

Willing to do.

She got out of bed, gently opened the wooden door, and after making sure no one was following her, she arrived at her destination.

"cough."

The man lying on the beach had not slept deeply. When he heard a slight cough coming from next to him, he opened a pair of cold eyes.

Xin Yue sat on the ground naturally. The wind was much stronger and the sea water was surging. As if she couldn't help it, she pinched her ears that were damaged by the noise.

"Can't sleep?"

Wearing loose white clothes, she looked at the moonlight that was blown by the wind on the beach and spoke.

She only wears white clothes, because the only fabrics on this island are white sails.

The man nodded.

The half-dark snow-colored moonlight shone on her hair, like a white peony in her hair. She turned her head and turned her bright eyes: "You are very weak, are you okay now?"

The man was startled for a moment, then looked at her porcelain-like flawless little face, and his voice rose unconsciously: "It's okay."

"A ship will come to rescue us from here soon, don't you think so?" Her voice was soft, and her tone was extremely indifferent. The two different temperaments of delicateness and elegance were strangely blended in her body.

The man's slight shock was quickly covered up, and a pale smile appeared on his frail face: "How did I know?"

She shook her head and smiled lightly.

Her hair was not tied up, just hanging down behind her, hanging down to her waist, a fist's length from the ground. When the wind blew, the man could smell the clean acacia fragrance on her hair, and the heavy salty smell of the sea water.

It's still so easy to capture.

She suppressed her smile, brushed her hair behind her ears casually, and asked in a serious tone: "Did you enjoy talking to me?"

It’s not about seduction. In my eyes, the mountains and rivers are pure. The syllables at the end are slightly prolonged, which reminds me of the cotton in the Jiangnan wind, soft and white.

It was stunning, but he was not distracted by the beauty that was not easy to see. He considered it for a moment and slightly raised his lips: "It's quite pleasant."

She stopped talking. She just looked at the changing sky with an empty expression.

After all, he was a little less patient than her. Seeing that she was silent for a long time, he tried his best to cover up his urgency and asked: "Do you know anything?"

She threw him a mysterious sentence: "What do you think?"

What do you think? This sentence seems light, but in fact it is very intimidating. It seems that I already know everything, and I smile with interest at the prey that can't escape my grasp. It also seems that I really don't know anything, and I am innocent.

And asking seriously about things that cannot be understood is such a falsehood.

Throw the right to speak to your opponent, be a listener yourself, and gain knowledge without being stained by dust. This trick is difficult for smarter people who are in normal condition, but it has been tried and tested by those who are hiding something and are afraid of being seen through.

"You know everything? How did you know?" His voice was slightly deeper, "Will you tell it?"

Sure enough, she raised her eyes slightly and her gaze seemed to stay on his face: "It was a pleasure talking to you."

It was an extremely wrong answer to the question. It seemed to indicate that he would keep his secret, but in fact he didn't promise anything.

"You..." He was speechless.

She slowly got to the point: "Since you and I are chatting happily, then," she looked straight at him, her eyes deep and silent, "will you give me a chance to continue chatting with you?"

"Are you begging me?" He asked slightly uncertainly after listening to her words.

"I'm threatening you."

She chuckled lazily, her voice softer than the moonlight.

——

If so, five days have passed.

Snakes are often found among the grass, trees, and rocks on the island. Snakes are considered a delicacy for wild survivors, but they are more difficult to catch than fish and seabirds.

Chu Zhiling was quite good at catching snakes. When he saw a bigger snake, he cut off a thick forked branch. The length was just right, so he could lean over and catch the snake's neck with both hands. The snake's shadow flashed past, and he made a "whoosh" sound.

He inserted it down, clamped the bottom of the snake, stuck the snake there and couldn't move, and then killed the snake with both hands. The time from discovery to death of the snake was extremely short, no more than eight seconds.

Now on the small hill on the island, Chu Zhiling turned around and smiled gently at Xin Yue: "I caught it, let's go down the mountain."

Coming down from the mountain, he rolled up his sleeves and planned to light a fire.

Xin Yue stood up, looking into the distance and frowning slightly.

Then he quickly lowered his waist and threw the flammable dry grass, dry leaves, birch bark, etc. into the fire. Suddenly, flames burst out. Chu Zhiling scolded her in a rare way: "Why are you so reckless? They almost burned.

My clothes are on."

He frowned and patted the fire flakes that fell on his clothes.

She ignored him and threw small apricots and other hardwoods into the fire, piling them high. The flames flew around among the branches and leaves like a dragon, and there was a crackling sound in her ears. For a moment, the island was filled with flames.

Chu Zhiling looked at the sea in the distance and understood her intention, so he tacitly added fuel to the fire.

It was early in the morning and the sea was calm. The man in Tsing Yi had been disturbed by the sea water last night and could not sleep well. He was sleeping deeply on the beach and did not wake up.

The fire continued to rise high, like a warm flag. When the ship in the distance saw the distress signal coming from the isolated island, it broke through the water and came.

It was an official ship. At least it looked like it.

There is a pair of large signs on the ship, erected high on the bow, with "Prime Minister's Office" written on one side and "General Affairs Department Lobby" written on the other side.

Of course, it is also possible that this is a merchant ship pretending to be an official ship. The people on the ship are dressed in casual clothes and do not look like official officials at first glance. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty implemented a maritime ban policy and did not allow people to go to the sea. However, the profits that can be earned from this maritime business are really impressive.

There are many businessmen who are so coveted by people that they even break the policy and sneak into the sea. Businessmen who do not want to be arrested by the government usually pretend to be official ships, so putting a plate on it is equivalent to putting a military license plate on a civilian truck. This situation is in Ming Dynasty.

North Korea is becoming more common and even getting worse.

I don't know if it was because the fire was too bright, but the man lying on the ground suddenly woke up. He looked at the medium-sized ship in the distance, a hurried light flashed in his eyes. When the ship got closer, he realized that there were only about ten people on board.

, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes again.
