Chapter 24: In vain
In Lin Bei's eyes, cosmetics, like those report materials, are just gadgets with no real use.
Seeing Chu Yaxuan so happy, Lin Bei didn't say anything more, just smiled and quipped: "You are already very beautiful, it doesn't make much difference whether you use cosmetics or not." ”
Chu Yaxuan snorted, shook his little head desperately and chirped: "Captain Lin, you don't understand what makeup means to us girls, this is our second face, it's our protective armor!" ”
Next to him, Murphy and Chen Nuolan were also very excited, constantly rummaging through various bottles and cans, shouting for a while that there was sunscreen here, and then shouting that there was lotion here, which was even happier than seeing treasures.
The three women turned their heads for a long time, and suddenly Murphy said "Huh", and said in surprise: "Wait a minute, you look at this notice form, the names of the people on it are marked here, and a lot of time is written, is this the celebrity's makeup box?" ”
"There's also a script here! Wow, Sister Murphy, look at the name of this female number two! Chu Yaxuan also shouted.
As soon as he heard that this box might be a female star's thing, Lin Bei also leaned over curiously, and saw Murphy compare it for a while and affirmed: "That's right, this must be Lin Yiyi's actress's makeup case, I remember looking at the passenger list before getting on the plane, and there is indeed her!" ”
"Yes, there have been so many things in the past few days that I have forgotten this, and there is a female star on this plane." Chu Yaxuan said half curiously and half regretfully: "Don't you know she's still alive?" ”
"If you live, wouldn't you be the happiest Captain Lin?" Chen Nuolan suddenly smiled playfully, and glanced at Lin Bei: "You will definitely recruit her into the team to take good care of her!" ”
Lin Bei never thought that Chen Nuolan, who has always been as indifferent as an iceberg beauty, would have such a narrow side, and half of his body was numb by this smile, but he had to pretend to be calm and said: "There is nothing to do, if you really meet it, you can only do business, where is there any star on this desert island who is not a star!" ”
As he spoke, he took out the captain's appearance and calmly arranged: "Okay, let's quickly pack up our things again and leave, don't forget to find a water source." ”
"Yes, yes!"
The three beauties grinned, stuffed all the things they could use now into a large suitcase, hid them again, and got up to leave.
In order to improve efficiency, the four people chose four directions and set off together to try to find fresh water.
Lin Bei chose the east where the sun rose, but he walked for more than an hour, and after walking with a dry mouth and no notice, he had to give up after calculating the time, and turned his head and walked towards the seaside hut.
After another hour, when Lin Bei walked back to the shore with a sweat on his head, he found that Murphy was sitting on the rocks stunned, and Chen Nuolan and Chu Yaxuan should not have come back yet.
Murphy glanced back at Lin Bei after hearing the sound, and greeted with a wry smile: "Captain Lin, have you found anything?" ”
Lin Bei shook his head and said: "No, I didn't find water resources, and I didn't go to the end of this small island, I really didn't expect this desert island to be quite big." ”
Murphy said: "Me too, I've been walking for a long, long time, if I hadn't made a mark before, I would have really gotten lost, there were trees all the way, and I didn't find anything." ”
"It stands to reason that if there are trees here, there will be fresh water resources." Lin Bei also sat down by the rock, scratched his hair and said with some distress: "But it's a bit strange that I haven't found it after walking for so long." ”
Murphy wondered, "What do you mean?" I do not quite understand. ”
"You took physical geography class when you were a kid."
Lin Bei said with a smile: "This island is so big, and there are a lot of green vegetation on the island, in short, this island is a complete miniature ecosystem." When it rains, fresh water is stored for trees to absorb and evaporate into the air to circulate to promote rainfall. ”
Hearing Lin Bei say this, Murphy's originally depressed mood was relieved a lot, and hope burst out of his eyes, and he said happily: "That's great, as long as you can be sure that there is fresh water on this island, I hope Yaxuan and Nuo Lan can have good news." ”
Lin Bei is not so optimistic, this island is too big, if the freshwater resources are scattered into many small pits all over the place, it will be very troublesome for them...
But now they don't know what else to say for a while, so the two of them each hugged a coconut fruit and ate it, slowly replenishing the nutrients lost in the morning.
After a while, Chen Nuolan and Chu Yaxuan also came back one after another, looking at their tired expressions, Lin Bei knew without asking that there must be nothing to gain.
Sure enough, Chu Yaxuan sighed heavily and sat down, fanning the wind desperately with his hands on his face, and exhaled heavily: "Have you found it?" I didn't find anything, and I was bitten out of two big bags by a bug that I don't know what it was. ”
Chen Nuolan didn't speak, but he also shook his head, indicating that he had no new discoveries.
Finding fresh water is indeed the most important task at this stage, but you can't be too hasty, so as not to affect everyone's mood and affect other things later.
So Lin Bei spoke at the right time to encourage everyone: "Don't be depressed, everyone, we have been walking for so long today, and we have a better understanding of this island, which is a good thing, at least there is no need for blind people to touch the elephant in the future." I'm tired after walking for so long, let's catch a few fish and eat them! ”
As soon as he heard that there was grilled fish to eat, Chu Yaxuan, who was originally listless, suddenly became excited again, and suddenly jumped up and cheered: "Okay, okay, Captain Lin, you go fishing, I'll start roasting sea salt!" ”
The hands-on ability of several people is still quite strong, plus they already have the experience of last night, and now the division of labor and cooperation is obviously much smoother.
Lin Bei and Murphy were tall and carried fishing nets made of stockings to the sea, while Chen Nuolan and Chu Yaxuan didn't have that much strength, so they obediently stayed by the fire to prepare.
Only ten minutes passed, and Chu Yaxuan had just baked out a pinch of sea salt, when he saw Lin Bei and Murphy walking back with half a pocket of fish, putting it on the beach, and said with a smile: "Have a good meal at noon today, this is the freshest pure natural food, absolutely full!" ”
I saw that Lin Bei quickly processed all the fish, and did not forget to collect the internal organs in a small plastic bottle and keep them carefully.
Murphy originally wanted to ask him why he did this, but now that she had admired Lin Bei's hands-on ability, she knew that he must have his own reasons, so she didn't bother to ask more.
Another half an hour passed, and after a crispy sound, Lin Bei smiled and raised the wooden stick in his hand and asked, "It's baked, who wants it?" ”
