After all the hardships, the fire was finally lit. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhu Youzhen used a dagger to cut off a large number of palm leaves and branches, so that the fire kept burning. When the branches start to burn, the flame will settle down, and there will be no more more leaves to add to it.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen built a shelf with branches on the fire and put the half of the snake on it to bake. In his previous life, he grilled lamb skewers and chicken, and he thought that his skills were not bad; But this snake meat is roasted for the first time, and this thing is a slender strip, and it will be baked if you are not careful.

After a while, the air was filled with the smell of burnt snake meat. If you want to change it in normal times, Zhu Youzhen smelled this smell and vomited early; But just now he even ate raw snake meat, and now he can actually roast and eat it, which is simply the best delicacy in the world!

Li Zhenyan also gobbled up the roast snake meat, and her state was much better at this time, but the burn still did not subside. Zhu Youzhen knew that this was because her wound was infected by bacteria, and it was not possible to eat by drinking water alone, and she had to have medicine.

At this time, he remembered that when he went up the mountain just now, he saw purslane all over the mountain, and he had an idea, and hurriedly took the iron kettle up the mountain. First, a pot full of water was filled with water from the stream on the mountain, and then a large number of purslane leaves were plucked and rinsed with the stream water. Then he returned to the fire, mashed the leaves with stones, applied part of them to Li Zhenyan's wounds, and squeezed some of them into juice and dripped them into a kettle, and then put them on the fire to bake.

After a while, the water in the kettle boiled. Since there was no cup, Zhu Youzhen had to wait for the kettle to cool down a little, and then send it to Li Zhenyan's mouth and feed her to drink it little by little.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lee Jung-yeon was so moved that she burst into tears again.

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly and said: "What are we polite about, to put it mildly, if you have three long and two short, I will be left alone on this small island, so how can I live!" ”

Li Zhenyan's face flushed, and she quickly turned her head and said quietly: "You have been busy for half a day, you must be tired, so let's rest for a while." ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that Li Zhenyan's condition was very stable, he relaxed a little, and said with great interest: "Now I can't take care of resting, at least I have to keep the fire!" ”

Indeed, although Zhu Youzhen succeeded in making a fire by luck just now, he also knocked hundreds of stones, and he almost died of exhaustion, so he didn't want to try again.

The easiest and most stupid way to continue to roast meat with fire water in the future is to keep the fire burning. This requires constantly adding branches to the fire and watching it day and night. The most important thing is that it can't rain yet, because the area around the fire is relatively empty, and if it rains, it will definitely be all extinguished.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen still decided to adopt a more complicated method: keep the fire. He first dug a small hole in the hillside with a dagger two feet high and one foot deep, and put the burning charcoal into the hole with a branch. Then cover the fire with moist leaves and other materials, and because the air is basically cut off, the flames disappear and a large amount of smoke comes out.

This method was also learned by Zhu Youzhen from TV programs such as "Exploration and Discovery" in his previous life. Because the leaves covered by the fire are moist but also combustible, the embers below will slow down the burning rate, and on the other hand, it will slowly dry the leaves layer by layer, and eventually ignite them. In this way, as long as you cover the fire with leaves every few hours, you can keep the fire alive.

To be on the safe side, a total of three of them were made by Zhu Youzhen like this. In case one of them doesn't get it right, there are two other ones to spare, so it's all right. As for the original fire, Zhu Youzhen didn't let it go out, but kept continuing the branches inside to make it burn. On the one hand, it is to keep Li Zhenyan warm, and on the other hand, Zhu Youzhen also has a fantasy: if a ship passes by here and sees the fire, won't the two of them be rescued?

After finishing all this, Zhu Youzhen was indeed exhausted, and lay down next to Li Zhenyan, and immediately snored like thunder. When I woke up, the sun was already set, and the silent island night was approaching.

"Jeong-yeon, how are you feeling?" Zhu Youzhen rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked two questions, but Li Zhenyan turned her body and turned her back to him and refused to answer. Zhu Youzhen was startled, and hurriedly used his hand to pull Li Zhenyan's shoulder, but Li Zhenyan was so frightened that she exclaimed and shrank into the coconut leaves that were difficult to hide.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized, and when he looked down, he turned out to be a "pillar of optimus", and he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.

But their clothes have long been swept away by the sea, and now there is nothing to hide them from. Zhu Youzhen didn't have any crooked thoughts at this time, he was still thinking about how to survive with Li Zhenyan.

Now they have fresh water to drink, snake meat to eat, and fire to use, but can all this be sustained? And it's the middle of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and although this small island is in the tropics, after all, the temperature may continue to drop in the autumn in the northern hemisphere. The two of them don't even have a piece of clothing, once the cold winter comes, won't they freeze to death?

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Youzhen said slowly: "Zhenyan, this island is a desert island in the sea, I don't know how far away it is from the mainland, we may be trapped here for a long time." So we also have to plan for the long term, even the worst. ”

"What's the worst-case scenario?" Li Zhenyan asked softly with a blink of her long eyelashes.

"Hey! The worst plan is that we will never be able to leave this island for the rest of our lives! Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be gloomy and let out a long sigh.

At this time, Li Zhenyan was no longer shy, turned around and took Zhu Youzhen's hand and said gently: "Your Highness don't worry, if you really can't leave, there will only be two of us on this island, and... It's good, too..."

At this time, Li Zhenyan's face was really like a peach blossom, her eyes were like horizontal waves, she was panting slightly, and she was extremely beautiful. The implication of this sentence was too obvious, and Zhu Youzhen's chest shook suddenly, almost about to become a beast.

Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten that Li Zhenyan's injury had not healed, so he hurriedly forced himself not to look over, and pretended to smile calmly: "Hehe, what I just said is the worst outcome." But I think that since God let us not die, as the saying goes, if we don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing, and we will definitely have a way to leave! Now let's treat ourselves as primitive people, start from scratch, build what we lack, and live well! ”

Li Zhenyan nodded again and again: "I listen to you!" It's a pity that I'm weak now, tired of you working so hard, I..."

"All you have to do now is recuperate in peace." Zhu Youzhen proudly tapped his head and said, "I'm not just stupid, this is full of knowledge!" Look at it, I'm going to make a big difference to this little island! ”
