When I woke up the next day, I didn't know what time it was, but the sun was already high in the sky.
I opened my eyes drowsily, stretched, and looked around subconsciously.
Wang Yi has also woken up, or she hasn't slept all night, and her whole face is unkempt and haggard.
"Are you... not sleeping?"
She shook her head listlessly, opened her mouth and struggled to squeeze out one word: "Itchy!"
"Itchy all night?"
"Um."
You can tell from the speed of her nodding how painful she is at the moment. She doesn't look like a human or a ghost. If she were just walking on the street like this, I wouldn't recognize her as Wang Yi at all.
I sighed softly, walked towards her, and asked, "Are you still itchy now?"
"It's better, but it hurts..."
"Is it still the back? Where are the other places?"
"On the back."
"Let me see."
I walked around behind her, took off her collar and took a look. There were still many dense red dots on the back of her neck, which made me suffer from trypophobia.
You don't need to look at her back, it must be the same.
I went back to the fire, picked some firewood, and heated up the seafood I hadn't eaten yesterday.
I suddenly remembered a question and asked her: "Hey, are you allergic to seafood?"
Wang Yi shook his head without hesitation: "No way, I often ate seafood when I was in college and I never had any allergies."
"What if you can do it now?"
Wang Yi stared at the sizzling hot seafood on the stone platform, was silent for a while and said, "No way? If it is true that you are allergic to seafood, why is it only on the back? Shouldn't it be the whole body?"
"I don't know about this. It's better to be on guard. Don't eat it. I'll go out and help you look for wild fruits later. I'll also find some herbs for you."
"Um."
She just watched me eat it helplessly. In fact, I didn't know if she was allergic to seafood.
After I had a full meal by myself, I said to her: "Just wait for me in the cave and don't run around!"
"Um."
After coming out of the cave, I checked the traps again, but still found nothing.
However, one of the traps had obviously been destroyed. It was unclear what animal had destroyed it, but it was definitely not a small animal like a rabbit.
After I laid the trap again, I went to find herbal medicine for Wang Yi. Fortunately, I learned some simple knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine from Mr. Wu before, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
I hope there are those kinds of plants on this island. If not, there is nothing I can do.
I searched around the top of the mountain and found some Chinese herbal medicines, but these were all anti-itching.
After collecting everything, I went to find some wild fruits.
I originally wanted to look for coconuts, but not all islands have coconut trees, so I ended up returning in vain.
Back in the cave, Wang Yi kept scratching the quilt like a monkey. If his hands couldn't be scratched, he would rub against the stone wall.
Her face was filled with pain, and she looked like she was worse off than dead.
"Chen Feng, I really can't stand it anymore, I really want to die..." When she saw me coming back, she was not excited, but said to me in pain.
I knew she must be feeling very uncomfortable, otherwise she wouldn't be like this. This probably wasn't the cause of her seafood allergy, because the allergy wouldn't be so serious.
"Bear with it, I'll come back with some herbs. I'll boil it with water and drink it to see the effect."
As I said this, I took out the herbs I had collected, and then cleaned the stone platform, so I could only use this for brewing.
While I was doing it, Wang Yi asked me again: "Are these grasses useful?"
"Whether it works or not, you will know if you try it. Don't worry, you won't die."
"I wish I could be drugged to death now."
"If you continue to mention death in front of me, I will part ways with you now, and you can wait to die by yourself!"
She stopped talking and kept scratching the itch.
I took out the wild fruits I picked and handed them to her and said, "Eat some wild fruits to cushion your meal."
She shook her head weakly and said, "I have no appetite at all now."
I didn't persuade her. After placing the wild fruits in front of her, I continued to kill the herbs.
Fresh water is limited, and we don’t plan to clean it. Anyway, there are no pesticides on this small island.
After putting the herbs into the stone pot, I added some more firewood to the fire, boiled the water first, and then simmered it over a simmer.
"How long will it take?" Wang Yi couldn't help but ask.
"Hey!" I looked outside the cave and said, "With the heat like this, it will probably get dark."
Wang Yi suddenly said with pain on his face: "Then do I have to endure it for another day?"
I shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do! Just bear with it! And... I'm not sure if this will work, so I just have to give it a try."
"Hey! I really want to..."
She didn't say any more, probably because she really wanted to die.
I didn't talk to her anymore. I was watching the fire and thinking about where I would get today's food.
Is it possible to go to the beach to pick up seafood again?
It’s too far, it’s not easy to go up and down the mountain, and that thing doesn’t care if you’re full!
If only the trap could catch a hare or something...
I was just thinking about it, and suddenly Wang Yi screamed "Ah".
I quickly looked up at her and saw her staring into a dark corner.
I also took a look and saw a mouse that was almost as long as chopsticks.
With my quick eyesight and quick hands, I grabbed a stone nearby and threw it at the mouse.
It missed, and the rat started to run away after being frightened.
I continued to hit the fourth stone, and finally hit the mouse.
With a scream of "chi", the mouse collapsed on the ground and started twitching.
I walked over and picked up the rat's tail, shook it and said, "I'm worried about what to eat for lunch. Why don't you have meat delivered to your door?"
"What?! You...you want to eat?" Wang Yi looked at me in surprise.
"Nonsense, if you don't eat it, why should I kill it?"
Wang Yi suddenly felt nauseous again and said, "This...how do you eat this?"
"Take out the internal organs, scrape the skin, wash it, then put it on the fire and roast it to eat, it will be delicious..."
Wang Yi had a disgusted expression again, and I ignored her.
In fact, this is really good food. Of course, I won't eat it unless I have to. It's really disgusting.
But in order to survive, not to mention rats, even earthworms can be eaten.
She feels nauseous now because she has not reached her limit yet. Once she reaches her limit of hunger, it depends on whether she eats or not.
After I took the mouse outside the hole and cleaned it, I fixed it with a few branches, and then put it on the fire to roast.
"Chen Feng, I found out that you are really cruel! You will eat even mice..."
I smiled and said, "Just wait! Don't fight me when the time comes."
"Even if I starve to death, I won't eat this! How can I eat this?"
I continued to laugh: "Well, okay, just don't smell too good then."
Wang Yi tilted his head, as if determined not to eat.
I didn't care about her and continued roasting my rat meat.
Within half an hour, the scent of rat meat spread throughout the cave, not to mention that the scent was even more fragrant than the previous hare meat.
Wang Yi's stomach kept growling and he swallowed saliva from time to time.
I looked at her and said with a smile: "How about it? Do you want to try it?"
