"If you don't have any worries, let's start dividing the work now. You go find firewood. The more the better. The temperature difference between day and night on the island is very large. We need torches to resist the cold at night. I'll go find food!"
"Well! Okay, please pay attention to your safety!"
Yu Xilin instructed.
Lin Xiao nodded, gave the torch to Yu Xilin, turned around and walked towards the seaside.
With her current equipment, she has no way to explore the forest. Now she can only find some small seafood at the beach to fill her stomach!
However, the resources of this island are very scarce. There are very few small crabs on the beach, let alone small shells and the like.
On the other hand, there are many big fish swimming happily in the deeper waters.
Lin Xiao could only feel anxious after seeing it!
When she was worried about what to do, Ah Hai came over with several crew members.
They held a homemade harpoon in one hand and a fat fish in the other, with the joy of the harvest on their faces.
Seeing Lin Xiao, the smile on Ah Hai's face instantly turned into sarcasm:
"Hey, isn't this a noble man from the capital? Why, haven't you caught any fish yet?"
Lin Xiao glanced at the big fish in their hands and said calmly:
"Don't worry about it!"
Ah Hai was immediately angry when he heard this and said coldly:
"Don't be ignorant of flattery, do you think you are still a noble son in the capital? How dare you talk to me like this?!"
Lin Xiao glanced at him, snorted coldly, said nothing, and continued to look for the small shell.
A Hai became even more angry when he saw this, and waved his hand:
"Brothers, give this disrespectful thing a good beating!"
Lin Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly and shouted coldly:
"Let me see who of you dares!"
Her scolding shocked several crew members around her. They did not expect that this seemingly frail young man could have such a strong momentum.
"Do you really think you will spend the rest of your life on this island?"
Seeing that everyone was shocked by her, Lin Xiao softened her tone slightly and continued:
"Don't forget, we are on an order to go to Southeast Asia to find immortal food. Once the time for return has passed, the emperor will definitely come to find us. By then, what you do to me will be severely punished by the emperor.
!”
After listening to Lin Xiao's words, Ah Hai's face suddenly turned livid.
The other crew members also looked frightened.
"Let me tell you, let's stay together on this island. We can work together to build a raft, or we can quietly wait for rescue. Why bother making any trouble?"
Lin Xiao threatened again tactfully.
These words completely shocked everyone.
Yes, if one day the emperor sends someone to rescue them, won't their death come?
Ah Hai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll let you go for now. Remember, this time it's not over yet!"
After that, Ah Hai left with the crew.
A crew member walking at the back secretly threw his harpoon and caught fish on the beach, winked at Lin Xiao, and then followed the others.
Lin Xiao knew that he was seeking peace in his own way!
In this world, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, only eternal interests.
Lin Xiao readily accepted his kindness and returned to the cave with the harpoon and fish.
At this moment, the cave was brightly lit, and the innermost side of the cave was filled with dry branches. It seemed that Yu Xilin had not been idle for a moment.
Looking at Yu Xilin's busy back, Lin Xiao felt a warm current surge in his heart, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and walked over.
"How's it going? Did you find food?"
When Yu Xilin heard the footsteps, she immediately stopped what she was doing and looked back at her.
Lin Xiao picked up the fish, handed it to him, and said with a smile:
"Let's eat grilled fish today!"
Yu Xilin's eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly, and swept away the tired look before:
"Very good!"
As night fell, the bonfire was burning brightly. Lin Xiao sat aside, grilling a cooked fish, and occasionally raised his eyes to look at the flames, with a faint smile on his lips.
Outside the cave, the sea breeze at night was extremely cool, and bursts of salty smell spread into the cave entrance along with the microwaves.
While looking at the grilled fish, Yu Xilin peeked at Lin Xiao, her cheeks slightly red.
"What do you want me to do?"
Lin Xiao noticed his hot gaze, raised her eyes to look at him, and smiled.
Hearing this, Yu Xilin's cheeks turned even redder, and she coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment and said:
"That.me."
"Um?"
Yu Xilin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't make a sound. Instead, he lowered his head and continued to look at the oily grilled fish, not daring to look into Lin Xiao's eyes.
"Do you have something to tell me?"
Lin Xiao suddenly asked.
Yu Xilin's body stiffened suddenly, but soon returned to normal, shook his head and said:
"No."
Lin Xiao did not pursue further and continued to flip the grilled fish.
Yu Xilin secretly observed her and saw that she had no suspicion. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. At the same time, she also cursed herself for being so unsatisfactory that a boy could see through her thoughts.
The aroma of grilled fish became stronger and stronger, causing the beasts around them to howl incessantly. Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin smiled at each other and stood up together.
"Okay, we can start dinner!"
Lin Xiao smiled and put the grilled fish up. Yu Xilin took out a dagger and cut open the grilled fish. He cut several circles on it with the blade and divided it into two halves. One part was given to Lin Xiao and the other was kept for himself.
Lin Xiao was not polite, took the grilled fish, tore off a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it while saying:
"Tomorrow morning, let's look for some weapons for self-defense, and then go for a walk in the forest. Maybe we'll get something unexpected!"
"good."
Yu Xilin nodded in agreement.
After eating and drinking, the two of them fell asleep by the campfire.
The next day, early morning.
The sky over the sea is blue, seabirds are flying, and the sun shines on the waves, reflecting colorful colors.
Lin Xiao walked out of the cave, faced the blue coastline, and stretched.
Yu Xilin followed her, yawning and muttering:
“The weather is so nice today”
Lin Xiao looked at the sky and echoed with a smile:
"It's really beautiful."
While the two were chatting and laughing, a loud noise suddenly came from the coast, and then the waves crashed over violently, setting off thousands of waves.
Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin hurriedly looked toward the coast.
I saw that the waves washed a broken boat onto the beach. When I took a closer look, I saw that it was their big boat!
Lin Xiao quickly ran towards the beach. She was eager to see if the ship could still be repaired.
However, when she ran to the coast, she saw many cracks all over the hull, and even several dents!
One of the main masts on the ship's hull has been broken, and the canvas above it is damaged and stained with a lot of mud, making it look very miserable.
"this"
Lin Xiao froze on the spot, the ship had no value anymore.
Yu Xilin also saw this scene, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and he stood there blankly.
