"Captain, do you think the person who made the footprints and stole our jackfruit yesterday is a savage? I heard from the older generation that there really are savages in this world. They are very ferocious and even eat children.
"When Chen Yanyan said this, she frowned, as if she was a little scared.
"The savages are not as exaggerated as they say. They have been making fires here since they were young. They are probably more scared and timid when encountering strangers than us. So as long as we don't provoke them, they will not harass us, and jackfruit also belongs to others.
Food, we stole other people's food." Chen Jie sighed and said helplessly.
"That's right. The captain is the best. He knows everything. He is simply a walking encyclopedia." Chen Yanyan gave a thumbs up to Chen Jie and looked at Chen Jie with admiration. Her admiration was beyond words.
"Okay, stop flattering, go back quickly, don't catch a cold." Chen Jie threw away the straw stick in his hand and walked back with Chen Yanyan.
…
Lisa and Xiao Baihe looked at Chen Yanyan's brisk pace and smiled.
"It seems that Chen Yanyan is really not afraid of anything." Xiao Baihe added a handful of firewood casually, thinking that when the two of them would come back later, they could warm themselves up by the fire.
"Um, Lily, I, I'm here." Lisa blushed and said a little uncomfortable.
In normal times, women would definitely not shy away from this, but now there is a shortage of supplies, and this thing is also limited. Although they are reused, there are times when there is not enough. Here, there is no waiting for drying, and there is already need.
Replaced with new one.
Lily Xiao turned her head and saw Lisa's face turned red.
"I still have some here. If you don't have enough, just take it." Xiao Baihe said generously.
At first, the three girls were evenly divided, but Lisa didn't expect that Lisa wasn't enough.
Lisa's eyes lit up, her face was still a little shy, and she spoke in a low voice.
"Don't you use it now?"
"It's probably going to be almost there, so you can use it first." Xiao Baihe also blushed, thinking that the day was coming soon, and felt a little helpless.
Women are very troublesome, especially during menstruation, when they feel uncomfortable and their temperament becomes very irritable.
"They're back." Lisa looked sharply at the two people talking and laughing, and immediately stopped this sensitive topic.
"Sister Baihe, what are you talking about? Why are your faces so red?" Chen Yanyan said carelessly, watching the two people's faces turn red, as if they were whispering something.
"It's nothing, maybe it was too close to the fire." The two people looked at each other and talked casually, but they both smiled at each other's seriousness.
"So that's it. Then don't add more firewood." Chen Yanyan nodded, believing what they said.
Chen Jie glanced at the two people. He knew very well that they must have lied, but he didn't bother to expose it. He wouldn't tell them if he asked anyway, so why bother to blame them. It was probably just a little secret of a woman.
Suddenly, Chen Jie remembered that the two of them were probably discussing this matter when he saw those aunt's banners when he came back in the afternoon.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, no one said anything, they quietly listened to the crackling sound above their heads and watched the flames flicker.
Seeing that he was bored, Chen Jie got up and walked aside, taking the remaining bark from the afternoon and preparing to use these scraps to make some simple umbrellas, ponchos, etc., so that even if it rains heavily in the future, he does not have to be afraid, and it is windproof.
Rainproof.
"Captain, what are you doing with these?" Chen Yanyan raised her chin with both hands, curiously watching Chen Jie continue to do those bamboos and tree barks.
"Use waste." Chen Jie replied, his hands moving continuously, and the bamboo gradually took shape in Chen Jie's hands.
After a while, Chen Jie made an umbrella stand. He took the remaining fabric and made it into a plate shape with eucalyptus bark that could be used to protect it from the rain.
There is a specially designed umbrella that can be held on the switch. Although it is a bit difficult to close it, it can be kept together.
Although the appearance is relatively simple, to be precise, it is a bit ugly, but when the three women saw the masterpiece in Chen Jie's hand, they couldn't help but sigh.
What is there in this world that Chen Jie doesn’t know?
"Captain, you are really awesome, I admire you so much." Chen Yanyan raised her hands, gave a thumbs up to Chen Jie, and looked at him with admiration.
"Captain, are you a descendant of Lu Ban? How come your hands are so skillful and you can even put them together?" Xiao Baihe tilted her head and carefully looked at Chen Jie's appearance. The more she looked at it, the more pleasing she became.
So handsome.
Chen Jie listened to the three girls taking turns to praise him, nodded with satisfaction, looked up at Lisa, and suddenly spoke.
"It's not because I'm afraid that you've taken too much and you're holding it back."
"you……"
"Chen Jie..."
Xiao Baihe and Lisa's faces turned red. They didn't expect that such a small detail would be discovered by a grown man like Chen Jie. Even Chen Yanyan didn't know about it.
"Hahaha, there is nothing to be shy about. Just use an umbrella to change it from now on." Chen Jie seemed not to notice the embarrassment on the girl's face and said with a smile.
"Captain..." Lisa said softly, looking at Chen Jie helplessly, feeling happy and angry at the same time.
Chen Yanyan watched for a long time, and finally understood the whole story, and secretly laughed.
Everyone played around for a while and finally stopped this embarrassing topic.
As we were talking, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping.
Everyone was not afraid. They sat leisurely around the fire and chatted. If they were hungry, they would eat some grilled fish and crabs. If they were thirsty, they would drink some seafood soup. It was quite pleasant.
The heavy rain did not affect everyone's mood at all, as if nothing could overwhelm them here.
"The fish here is fat and beautiful. It tastes much better than the ones we have over there. It's not fresh at all." Chen Yanyan ate the grilled fish happily, praising her while looking at the rain outside and sliding down the awning.
It doesn't have a different taste.
"It's not just the grilling skills that are good, but our Yanyanrenmei's cooking skills are also good. She grilled this mediocre fish so that it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I guess even a five-star chef can't compare to it." Xiao Baihe looked at it.
The fish in my hand made me admire Chen Yanyan's grilling technique.
"Really? Sister Baihe, since you all like to eat my grilled fish, I will be responsible for grilling the fish from now on." Chen Yanyan patted her chest and said proudly.
Chen Jie looked at the scene in front of him. Everyone was talking and laughing together. It was also a kind of fate. It seemed good to have such an experience once in a person's life.
I glanced towards the dense forest. It would be better if there was a roast chicken or something.
Needless to say, this kind of life is really enviable.
