Chapter 145: Survival on a Desert Island
Gu Huaizuo used the moonlight to search for things available on the island, and his luck was good, and he really picked up used toilet paper, as well as some plastic waste, as well as disposable plastic lunch boxes, at least the things used to make a fire.
Entering the leaf forest and bringing a bunch of dry dead leaves and branches, Gu Huaizuo learned the methods of the ancients to drill wood to make fire, and finally made a fire after drilling for half an hour.
Shen Zhuxi looked at Gu Huaizuo's serious expression, and secretly confessed in his heart......
"Zhuxi, can you sit up? Let's bake the fire, and the clothes will not be so cold when we dry them. As Gu Huaizuo spoke, he suddenly heard a squirming movement outside.
The nervous Gu Huaizuo stared straight at the entrance of the cave, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear any movement again, and the uneasiness exploded in Gu Huaizuo's heart, it seemed that if it wasn't necessary, he couldn't leave Shen Zhuxi's side.
The fire burned the dead branches and dead leaves very quickly, Gu Huaizuo had to go out again and bring some combustibles in, out of the hole, the sky was drizzling again, Gu Huaizuo dragged the plastic suitcase out of the hole, and used the suitcase to receive fresh water, just now he was in a hurry to leave, the water was only stuffed in the compartment of the suitcase with three small bottles, fortunately, the only food stuffed in the compartment was still there, and it was no problem to pass tonight.
Before the rain fell heavily, Gu Huaizuo deliberately carried a lot of combustibles into the hole, and the dead leaves could be carried into the hole to pounce on the ground, and then a piece of clothing, so that he would not feel very hard when he slept.
Gu Huaizuo dragged the last two dead tree trunks into the cave, and the fuel was almost enough tonight.
After finishing these, Gu Huaizuo had the time to carefully check Shen Zhuxi's situation.
"How do you feel now?Are you hungry?Do you want to drink water?" Gu Huaizuo asked with concern, as long as Shen Zhuxi can keep warm tonight, he will be able to reduce his fever.
"It's much better, just a roast. Shen Zhuxi's pale face squeezed out a smile, wanting to use this smile to dispel some of Gu Huaizuo's worries.
How could Gu Huaizuo not know that her pale face was almost bloodless as when she was rescued from Chu Kuo's hands that day, but words could not cure the disease, he could only hold Shen Zhuxi's hand tightly and make the fire in front of him more vigorous.
After the clothes were dried, Shen Zhuxi finally felt less cold, Gu Huaizuo took out the only food, fortunately, these foods were all plastic packaging, there were a few chocolates, and a hard French meal bag.
After barely filling his stomach with water, Gu Huaizuo hugged Shen Zhuxi and lay down.
Gu Huaizuo's arms were very strong and warm, Shen Zhuxi hugged him tightly, and the two hugged together to keep warm, even though the ground was very hard, but today was too tired, and the two gradually fell asleep.
The next day, Gu Huaizuo was almost awakened by a perm, and when she opened her eyes, Shen Zhuxi's forehead was full of cold sweat, and the cold sweat even wet her long hair.
"Zhuxi, are you awake?" Gu Huaizuo was completely awake in fright, and he hurriedly patted Shen Zhuxi's face gently, trying to wake her up.
I saw Shen Zhuxi open his eyes weakly, still pretending to be strong, squeezing out a smile and saying to Gu Huaizuo: "I'm fine...... It's just cold......"
Gu Huaizuo tested her forehead, her forehead was very hot, and she felt that it had burned to 40 degrees.
"No, I'll go out and get you herbs. Gu Huaizuo was about to go out in a hurry.
"Ahem, ahem!" Shen Zhuxi was anxious to stop him from leaving, but the strong cough made her speechless.
"You are obedient, stay here, I have a watch, it's 6 o'clock in the morning, I come back every hour, if I don't come back after the time, it must be because I went to a distant place, don't worry about me, you know?" In a hurry, after Gu Huaizuo comforted Shen Zhuxi, he left the cave quickly.
Last night, because his concentration was focused on Shen Zhuxi, when he walked out of the cave during the day, he found that this small island was very eerie, the woods seemed to be overgrown with the entire island, and there was no end in sight in the distance, and a little farther away, there were even small hills.
Gu Huaizuo ran straight towards the mountain, he was actually proficient in herbal medicine, because his grandfather's family was a medical family.
The footsteps went farther and farther, and when he looked at the time again, he found that it was already 8 o'clock, and he had left Shen Zhuxi for two hours, but it was too wasteful to go back like this, he prayed that Shen Zhuxi did not leave the cave because he was too worried about him, and the pace of search was faster.
After looking for a long time, he didn't find any herbs that have a fever-reducing effect, Gu Huaizuo was about to be in a hurry, there was a sudden lightning and thunder on the island, and the atmosphere suddenly became severe, Gu Huaizuo was already standing at the highest point of the hill, and there were no plants that could be used as medicine except for wild grasses and wild flowers, as well as common plants in temperate zones.
The bare rocks under his feet looked slippery because they were wet by the rain, Gu Huaizuo was anxious, but his steps could only slow down cautiously, lest Shen Zhuxi still have a fever and he would be injured again.
Despite being careful, Gu Huaizuo slipped under his feet unexpectedly, and suddenly rolled down the hillside, rolling uncontrollably on the ground, and finally hit the tree heavily, his body was full of abrasions, and the clothes that had finally dried out were soaked with mud and sand.
Gu Huaizuo, who was in pain, stood up strongly, and as soon as he raised his head, there was a burst of surprise - there was actually a piece of honeysuckle!
Honeysuckle can clear away heat and detoxify, evacuate wind heat, wind heat cold, warm fever, and also have an effect on cough!
Gu Huaizuo hurriedly plucked the leaves and stamens of a honeysuckle, and when he couldn't finish holding it with both hands, he directly took off his shirt, wrapped a bag of honeysuckle naked, and went back to the cave!
Because he was in a hurry, on the way back, Gu Huaizuo ran away and ran back to the cave in less than 40 minutes, but at the first sight of the cave, he was so frightened that he almost fell down - there was a strange man hugging Shen Zhuxi very intimately!
"Who are you!You go away for me!" Gu Huaizuo hurriedly dropped the shirt wrapped in honeysuckle, and quickly rushed over and grabbed the collar of the strange man.
The man who was grabbed by the collar suddenly turned around, and then unexpectedly called out his name.
"Brother Gu?"
"Li Xiaowen, why are you here? What are you doing here? How long have you been here?"
Gu Huaizuo's series of questions made Li Xiaowen cry and laugh, and Gu Huaizuo, who was angry, wanted to raise his fist to punch him, Li Xiaowen saw the fighting spirit in Gu Huaizuo's eyes, and hurriedly explained: "As soon as you left with your front foot, I left Asakshima with you! I swam here with a lifebuoy!"
"Did you arrive last night?" Gu Huaizuo suddenly remembered the footsteps he heard yesterday.
"Yes, I saw a fire last night, and I wanted to come in happily, for fear of disturbing you, and it was really inconvenient, so I found a small hole and slept all night. Li Xiaowen replied with a wry smile.
"What about them, why don't you go with them?" Gu Huaizuo didn't dare to believe Li Xiaowen who suddenly followed.
"They got into a fight...... Because they don't give in to each other, I'm actually very worried about whether I can go to other islands with you, after all, the sea is really cold, and I finally chose to believe you, but I swam for more than three hours as soon as I got off the sea, and I was so tired," Li Xiaowen said patiently, "I didn't expect you to be so persevering, and I really admire you for swimming for so long with your girlfriend on your back." ”
After Gu Huaizuo heard his words, his guard was also relaxed, and he put down his hand holding Li Xiaowen's collar.
"The guy who targeted you, I suspect there's something wrong with him, you know? As soon as you walked on the front foot, he cursed you in the back, saying that you two would definitely drown, and that laughter was horrible, and I felt like he was mentally ill. Li Xiaowen was a little verbose and talked endlessly.
Gu Huaizuo was already cleaning up the honeysuckle, although there was a bonfire, but there was no cooking utensils, Li Xiaowen saw this, ran out without saying a word, and soon after, brought over a small dilapidated iron pot.
"I picked it up outside, it shouldn't be leaking, it can be used. Li Xiaowen handed it to Gu Huai's left hand.
Seeing that Shen Zhuxi has been sleeping soundly, although his face is not good, it seems to be much better than in the morning?
"Why did you hug my girlfriend just now?" Gu Huaizuo's suspicions rose again.
Li Xiaowen was helpless: "I just found out that she had a fever, so I want to help her, I work in a massage shop in Chinatown, France, so I know some knowledge of acupressure, just now I helped her press the Hegu acupoint, Quchi acupoint and Dazhu acupoint, it should be useful." ”
Gu Huaizuo looked at Li Xiaowen vigilantly, looking at his words, it didn't seem like he was lying: "You help me make a fire, I want to decoct medicine." ”
"Good. Li Xiaowen saw that he had finally gained trust, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and according to Gu Huaizuo's instructions, he added dead wood to the bonfire, and his eyes looked at the leftover magic bag from time to time.
Gu Huaizuo caught his hungry eyes, even though the food was precious, but ...... After feeding him, it seems more cost-effective to let him go fishing or hunting back, there is no means of communication to survive at the moment, and he can't think of a way to survive for the time being, so he can only wait for rescue.
Li Xiaowen looked at the magic bag and chocolate handed to him, and without saying a word, he took it and devoured it, he knew that there was no more food, so he could only be honest, let the bonfire burn more vigorously, and then walked out of the cave silently, not knowing what to do.
After a long time, Li Xiaowen ran back excitedly, holding two fish in his hand, Gu Huaizuo was slightly satisfied with him: "Yes, I can also fish." ”
"Hehe, Sister Zhuxi has to maintain enough food intake, it's not good to eat too much sea fish, after eating a full stomach for a while, I'll go to the mountains and forests to see if there is any prey to chase." Li Xiaowen used sharp rocks to cut open the belly of the fish, took the cleaned fish out and rinsed them in the sea, and then skewered them with branches and grilled them on the fire.
Shen Zhuxi was groggy and was awakened by the smell of fish, which showed that the sea fish was really fragrant, and she couldn't taste any chocolate last night.
Gu Huaizuo saw that Shen Zhuxi was awake, helped her to get up, sat by the bonfire and roasted the fire, carefully picked out the bones of the hot fish in his hand, and then put it in Shen Zhuxi's mouth.
"It's delicious," Shen Zhuxi said with a smile, "Huaizuo, you're hungry too, I don't have an appetite anyway, you can eat." ”
"You have to eat more to get better, and I don't have to worry so much about you when you get better, good boy, finish eating this fish. Gu Huaizuo said softly to Shen Zhuxi with his domineering.
Li Xiaowen silently ate a mouthful of dog food, simply took the fish out to eat, and after eating, he went directly to the mountains to hunt and came back.
Gu Huaizuo frowned, how to survive on this desert island?
