Chapter 102: Finding Water

Xie Lingyun saw Zhou Chong kill Shangquan Hongji, she didn't show any surprised expression, as early as when she destroyed the Jeolla Chamber of Commerce, she had seen Zhou Chong's ruthless methods against the enemy, and even from her heart, she also admired Zhou Chong's character very much.

After killing Shangquan Hongji, Zhou Zhong pulled the other party's body to the woods behind the beach and buried it, but when he came back, he found Xie Lingyun grilling fish, which made him very strange and said, "Where did you get the fish?" ”

"It's the one you just gave to Koji Izumi, although it fell on the sand, I took it to the beach and washed it, and I can eat it later!" Xie Lingyun said with a bright smile to Zhou Chong, but Zhou Chong was stunned, because the other party gave him a strange feeling, this feeling was like they were back to the scene when they got along in the cabin of that small boat before.

I saw Xie Lingyun roast the fish in his hand on the fire for a while, and then he tore off a piece of fish meat and tasted it first, and then walked to Zhou Chong's side and said: "It tastes good, after being washed by seawater, it is like adding salt, you can taste it too!" ”

Zhou Zhong was indeed hungry at this time, so he reached out and tore off half of the fish and began to eat it. Seeing Zhou Chong eating fish, Xie Lingyun smiled slightly, and also took the fish for a long time to eat, but her appearance of eating fish was much more elegant, and her white and tender fingers tore off the white and tender fish meat and sent it to the red lips, which looked very beautiful, but Zhou Chong was immersed in chewing, which was really bad for the scenery.

After eating the fish, Zhou Zhong lay down and slept for a while, after all, he didn't sleep all night last night, and now after eating, he immediately fell asleep, and he couldn't lift his spirits. Similarly, Xie Lingyun is similar, although she has been in a coma for a long time before. But the body is still very weak. After eating, he also lay down by the fire and fell asleep.

Waited until mid-afternoon. Zhou Chong suddenly woke up, and at the same time, his right hand was also empty, which made him startled in his heart, and he immediately jumped up from the ground. Because when he was sleeping, he deliberately put the waist knife and wooden gun at hand, so that he could deal with emergencies, and secondly, he was also worried that Xie Lingyun would not be good for him. After all, for this scheming woman, Zhou Zhong is always vigilant.

"Bastard!" Zhou Zhong jumped up and took a look. It turned out that the wooden guns were thrown together, but the waist knife was missing, and Xie Lingyun, who was sleeping opposite him, was also missing, which made Zhou Zhong more sure of the guess in his heart, thinking that Xie Lingyun had stolen the weapon and left.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong immediately rushed out of the reef pile with a wooden gun, wanting to find the direction of Xie Lingyun's escape, but what he didn't expect was that on the beach not far away, Xie Lingyun was holding a waist knife in one hand. One hand pulls at the hem of the skirt, as if carrying something. At the same time, he lowered his head and looked for something in a reef.

Seeing that Xie Lingyun didn't run, this made Zhou Zhongzhong feel a little calmer, and then walked over and looked at it and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Xie Lingyun also noticed Zhou Chong's arrival at this time, raised his head and showed him a bright smile at the moment, and at the same time stretched out his hand to stroke the hair that was blown by the sea breeze behind his ear and said: "I saw that you slept very soundly just now, and I was hungry, so I came to the beach to find something to eat, and it turned out that there were a lot of abalone and sea urchins on the reef of the beach, I have dug a lot, do you want to taste it?" ”

Xie Lingyun said, opened the skirt in his hand and let Zhou take a look, and there were indeed a lot of freshly dug abalone and sea urchins inside, these two creatures are generally attached to rocks, and sea urchins have thorns on their bodies, so they can only be dug off the stones with sharp weapons.

Looking at Xie Lingyun's expectant gaze, Zhou Zhong was not easy to refuse, so he reached out and peeled off two sea urchins, revealing the sea urchin seeds inside and eating them, although this thing was very fishy, it was very nutritious, and he had eaten a lot in his previous life.

"It tastes good, but don't eat too much of these things, otherwise you will get sick easily!" Zhou Chong also smiled and said, now they don't know the situation on Ludao Island, if it is really a desert island, then they must find a way to survive here, although sea urchins and abalone are nutritious, but there are also parasites, and it is absolutely not good to eat too much.

After Zhou Zhong finished speaking, he took the wooden gun to the place where he caught fish in the morning, and stabbed the wooden gun for a long time, and finally stabbed an unlucky big fish. At this time, Xie Lingyun also scraped some naturally condensed sea salt from the rocks by the sea, and then she was in charge of grilling the fish, while Zhou Zhong climbed up the cliff on the beach side, ready to observe the terrain of the entire island.

Waking up Zhou Zhong still had a bit of extravagant hope, hoping that this was a small inhabited island, so that they could find a way to go back through the residents of the island, but he also knew that this should still be the coast of the Ming Dynasty, since the sea ban, the overseas islands have been rarely inhabited, not to mention that this is still a small island.

Sure enough, when Zhou Chong climbed the cliff and looked around, he found that the whole island was smaller than he imagined, the area where they were located was the mountain area of the entire island, and it was also the highest point of the island, the two cliffs were surrounded by strange large rocks, and in the middle of the island was a small forest, that is, the forest where he had obtained firewood before, if Zhou Zhong passed through the woods, he would reach a relatively wide beach, at least several times larger than the beach they landed.

Mountains, forests, beaches, these are the whole picture of the whole island, it is estimated that the area of the whole island should be about one square kilometer, if Zhou Zhong's feet are not injured, the whole island can be turned in half an hour. And Zhou Zhong also looked carefully, there was no sign of people on the island, and what was worse was that he didn't see any obvious water source on the island.

Without water, this discovery made Zhou Chong's face suddenly become heavy, if there was no food, they could live for at least a week or even half a month, but if there was no water, I am afraid that they would die of dehydration within a few days. Now he didn't see an obvious source of water, which required him to find a way to find water to drink, otherwise both of them would die of thirst at the end of the day.

Just when Zhou Zhong returned to the fire on the beach with a heavy heart, Xie Lingyun had already grilled the fish, compared to Zhou Chong's hastily grilled fish in the morning, Xie Lingyun's carefully grilled fish was much more delicious, especially she didn't know that there was no water on Ludao Island, so she deliberately sprinkled salt on the grilled fish, so although it was much more delicious, people would only be thirstier when they ate it.

"That's the way it is, there is no one on the island and no obvious water source, and the area is very small, it's late today, tomorrow I'll go around the island and see if I can find drinking water, if I can't find it, we both may have to die here!" Zhou Zhong took a bite of the grilled fish in his hand and introduced the situation on the island to Xie Lingyun. Although he will be thirstier if he eats food, he will lose strength if he does not eat, and he must maintain a certain amount of physical strength under this desert island.

"Your foot hurts, I'll go with you tomorrow to find water!" I saw Xie Lingyun listen to the situation on the island, ponder for a moment and then speak. Zhou Zhong did not object after hearing this, if they want to survive on the island, they must work together, and in this lonely environment, they need to support each other.

After eating the fish, the two did not rest, but went to the woods to cut a lot of firewood, and then raised a large bonfire on the beach, so that if the Xie family sent someone to look for them, they could find them in the direction of the campfire.

At night, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun slept by the bonfire, Xie Lingyun was on duty in the first half of the night, responsible for adding firewood to the fire, and Zhou Zhong was on duty in the second half of the night.

A night has passed, and Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun, who have not been dripping since yesterday, already feel unbearably thirsty, as if they are about to smoke in their throats, and they can't eat anything at all. However, Zhou Zhong still caught a fish, and then squeezed out the water from the fish meat and dripped it in his mouth, which could not quench his thirst, but replenished some water to the thirsty body.

Next, Zhou Zhong took a lot of wet wood and put it on the fire, so that the flames on the fire turned into smoke, and continued to show the direction to the people who were looking for them, and then he carried the knife on his back and started his journey to find water on the coast with Xie Lingyun.

At the beginning, Zhou Zhong set his eyes on the cliffs on both sides of the beach where they were, because there were many stone caves on the cliffs, which were likely to store rainwater from the sky, so he and Xie Lingyun first climbed the cliffs where Zhou Chong had been yesterday, and then looked for them seriously.

In fact, it turned out that Zhou Chong's guess was right, the stored rainwater was indeed found in the stone cave on the cliff, but the rainwater was stored for too long, most of it had turned green and deteriorated, and it was not drinkable at all.

There was no clean water source on the cliff, Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun turned their eyes to the woods next to the beach, although this forest is not very big, but it grows very luxuriantly, even if it is winter, but the ocean is relatively warm, so most of the trees here are not dry, when Zhou Chong looked down yesterday, because of the obstruction of branches and leaves, he couldn't see the situation in the woods at all.

However, to the disappointment of Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun, they stumbled around the small forest a few times, but still did not find any water source, but found a lot of dew on some wide leaves, the two of them drank the dew while walking, although they did not completely quench their thirst after the end, but they also felt much better in their throats.

However, as the sun rose, the island also warmed up, which also made the dew on the leaves nowhere to be found, and Zhou Zhong had to take Xie Lingyun through the woods, and came to the big beach he saw on the cliff yesterday, but looking at the yellow sand all over the ground in front of him, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but feel hopeless, there could be no water here.
