Zhang Long smiled faintly: "I used to be a reporter. I traveled a lot and became better at everything."
Bai Wenwen nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Zhang Long no longer seemed as annoying as before.
The two returned to the bamboo forest and saw six or seven bamboos with a diameter of 20 centimeters on the ground. Bai Wenwen said in disbelief: "How did you get the bamboo?"
Zhang Long said matter-of-factly: "It was pulled out."
"Pull it out?" Bai Wenwen didn't believe it. After all, the bamboo was so thick that it was not easy to pull it out.
"Yeah." Zhang Long supported Bai Wenwen with one hand and walked out holding the bamboo in his other hand.
Through chatting on the road, we found out that she, He Ming and others were looking for food separately. As a result, the fog was so thick that Bai Wenwen lost her way while walking.
Zhang Long was secretly glad that if he hadn't met him, Bai Wenwen might have ended up in this forest.
It took about half an hour for the two of them to return to the agreed place.
"Wenwen, what's wrong with you? Do you know how worried I am about you!" Upon seeing the two of them, He Ming rushed over.
"My leg was a little injured." Bai Wenwen said calmly.
He Ming looked at Zhang Long jealously: "Put her down quickly, who allowed you to carry her without permission?"
Zhang Long smiled coldly: "She is my wife!"
Suddenly, He Ming's face turned ugly.
Zhang Long ignored him and put Bai Wenwen down gently.
"Look what I have prepared for you?" He Ming came over holding a coconut.
Bai Wenwen saw a hint of surprise in her eyes when she saw the coconut: "Have you found the coconut?"
He Ming nodded proudly: "I took a lot of effort to pick this off, please eat it quickly."
Immediately, he smiled coldly and looked at He Ming: "There is only one coconut left. If you are hungry, think of something yourself."
Zhang Long's face darkened, knowing that He Ming was targeting him deliberately.
Not far away, the other five people sat quietly, choosing to remain silent.
"I'm not very hungry, how about we eat something together?" Bai Wenwen hesitated.
After all, it was Zhang Long who rescued her from the snake's mouth today. Just seeing him hungry like this still made Bai Wenwen feel uncomfortable with her conscience.
Zhang Long was a little surprised, and his eyes wandered over her with interest.
"Forget it if you don't want to eat it!" Bai Wenwen's face turned cold and she took the coconut back directly.
The two people's seemingly flirting behavior made He Ming on the other side jealous.
"Bai Wenwen, I specially left the coconut for you. You'd better think carefully before making a decision!"
He Ming emphasized the word "specially" very strongly, clearly threatening Bai Wenwen.
Zhang Long shook his head slightly and said calmly: "It's okay, I will find food myself."
"It's almost dark, where are you going to find something to eat?" Bai Wenwen looked at the sky worriedly.
Zhang Longyanbo calmly said: "I have my own way."
He Ming sneered and said: "Since he has a way, just let him go. Come back with me."
After saying that, He Ming couldn't help but pull Bai Wenwen back to the 'camp'.
Zhang Long didn't bother to argue with him, so he picked up half a piece of bamboo, turned around and walked out.
Looking at his back, Bai Wenwen felt a little unbearable.
After what happened today, Zhang Long is no longer so disgusting in her eyes, and she no longer treats him as a worthless waste.
However, she still couldn't let go of her dignity and got along with Zhang Long in a pleasant manner.
…
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Long came to the beach.
With the faint light, he held his breath and stared at the water below his feet.
Bo!
After a while, the water surface suddenly fluctuated slightly.
Zhang Long's eyes lit up, and the bamboo in his hand shot out like a sharp spear.
Clang!
The bamboo was deeply embedded in the mud at the bottom of the water, and its tail was still buzzing and trembling.
Zhang Long pulled out the bamboo pole and saw a yellow croaker weighing three kilograms struggling and twisting.
After taking out the fish, he used a bamboo pole to lift up the nearby rocks one by one, stretched his neck and sniffed hard.
After a while, Zhang Long's face lit up and he dug out two gray stones the size of goose eggs from under the reef.
He held two gray stones in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and when he hit them, a series of weak sparks appeared.
Zhang Long guessed right, these two inconspicuous stones were saltpeter.
I just tried my luck, but I didn't expect to find it.
With saltpeter, it is equivalent to having fire.
On this desert island, fire is a vital tool.
Afterwards, he packed up his things and returned to the 'camp'.
A few people were chatting happily, but suddenly they saw Zhang Long coming back with a fish. He Ming said in a strange way: "Oh, I really found something to eat!"
He looked at the fish in Zhang Long's hand with jealousy in his eyes.
Before, He Ming tried fishing when he took Bai Wenwen and Yuan Lu to look for food.
But the fish in the sea swim very fast. He Ming tried his best to catch the fish, so he finally had to pick some coconuts to satisfy his hunger.
At this time, Zhang Long came back with the fish, which was tantamount to slapping him in the face!
"Do you want to eat something?" Zhang Long came to Bai Wenwen with a smile and shook the fish in his hand.
Bai Wenwen nodded excitedly. Who would want to use coconut to satisfy their hunger when there is meat to eat?
"Zhang Long, there are so many of us, what do you mean by bringing back a fish?" He Ming suddenly jumped out and pointed at Zhang Long.
Hearing what he said, other people also had angry looks on their faces.
Zhang Long smiled lightly: "If you eat coconuts, you won't give them to me. We don't owe anything. What's the problem?"
He Ming's face turned green and white, and he sneered: "What's the use of getting the fish back? Do you plan to eat it raw?"
"It's none of your business."
After speaking, Zhang Long picked up some dead branches and came back, thick ones at the bottom and thin ones at the top.
Everyone looked at him busy in surprise, but they didn't understand what he was doing.
After everything was ready, Zhang Long took out the saltpeter.
"Are you going to light a fire?" Bai Wenwen couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Long nodded matter-of-factly, "Could it be possible to eat it raw like that fool He Ming?"
Bai Wenwen smiled with expectation in her eyes.
Boom!
When saltpeter collides, tiny sparks are emitted from the collision surface, and a faint smell of gunpowder fills the air.
Without much effort, a flickering flame began to burn.
Zhang Long hurriedly strung the fish on branches and placed it on the flame.
The fish oil makes a "cracking" sound when being roasted by the flames, and at the same time there is a strong fragrance.
Even without seasoning, the real meat flavor is much stronger than that of coconut.
Several people had been hungry for a long time, and when they suddenly smelled such a fragrance, they couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.
Zhang Long’s grilling skills are really good. The yellow croaker was finally roasted to a crispy texture and tender inside, with a fragrant oily aroma.
"You're in a hurry, eat quickly." Zhang Long excitedly came to Bai Wenwen with the grilled fish.
He Ming looked at this scene, his eyes became increasingly gloomy.
Suddenly, he stood up and walked swaggeringly in front of Zhang Long.
