Chapter 78 Survival

Hu Kehao and Lin Xueyi knew that they had met a traitor, and Akinu had already exposed his evil nature at Hani's house, and he shouldn't have trusted him at all and took his boat. It's useless to regret it now, find a way to save yourself. Agenus had not completely lost his conscience and threw them into the sea, which was already a blessing in misfortune, and they at least had a chance to survive on a desert island.

Hu Kehao saw a stone not far away, and his hands and feet were tied, so he had to move over slowly, leaned against the stone, and slowly sharpened the rope. From time to time, it will accidentally grind into the hand, and after grinding for a long time, the rope finally breaks with a bang. Hu Kehao stood up, looked at the marks on his hand that were strangled by the rope, stretched his muscles, and walked over to help Lin Xueyi untie the rope.

They looked at the island, which was even more desolate than the original. The original island was inhabited by inhabitants, but this island is deserted. While they still had the strength to look around the island, they saw only trees, seabirds, reefs, and beaches, but no wild people. The dry food brought from Hani's house fell on Akinu's ship, and they are now without food.

"Xue Yi, God really favored us, in addition to Bali and the island where Hani's family lived, we came to the third island for a trip, this trip is worth the money!" Hu Kehao teased.

Lin Xueyi's face was full of melancholy, so she had to force a smile: "Yes, this trip has satisfied my desire for adventure, it's good!" ”

"What we need to eat, drink and live now is all on the island, and we have to find a way to get it." Hu Kehao found some stones from the island and built them, about half a meter high, and found some branches to insert in the cracks of the stones to build a simple shack, covered with leaves and weeds. They walked into the shack with their heads bowed, and there was only room to turn around. Hu Kehao said: "Spread some dry firewood and weeds on the ground, and you can sleep in it at night." ”

"In such an environment, we can only learn from Goujian, the king of Yue, and taste the courage." Lin Xueyi said.

"The conditions for sleeping pay have been met. How to taste gall? What about our food? Hu Kehao asked.

"Let's go to the beach and look for it." Lin Xueyi said.

They came to the beach and saw some shellfish, clams, oysters. These foods can provide them with a wealth of protein and nutrients. Fish swim in the water and are not easy to catch. In the future, there will be opportunities to sharpen branches or sticks and use them as harpoons to catch fish.

"You need to pay attention to a balanced diet, you can't just eat meat, right? We'll have to find some plants and berries. Lin Xueyi said. There are so many plants on the island that they can't tell if they're poisonous or not, and which plants and berries are edible.

Hu Kehao saw a tree and said happily: "Look, there are bananas over there." "They ran over and picked a bunch of it, and it was a bit like a banana, but not like it. They are not sure and do not dare to eat casually.

"I don't know if this 'banana' is poisonous, it's better not to eat it, we still eat meat." Lin Xueyi said.

"It is said that many rich people are vegetarians now, and only the poor eat meat." Hu Kehao said.

The small animals they picked up had bacteria and parasites and could not be eaten raw, so they had to find a way to make a fire. On this desert island, there were only branches, dead grass, stones, and no other tools. Hu Kehao can only learn the wisdom of the ancients and drill wood to make fire. Lin Xueyi went around looking for velvet grass as a firestarter. Hu Kehao found a piece of wood, drilled a small hole with a sharp stone, and inserted a small wooden stick into it. The wooden sticks are stuffed with small holes and are attached very tightly, with a lot of friction. Hu Kehao rubbed his hands back and forth, and the wooden stick slowly heated up. After a while, the small holes in the planks began to smoke. The smoke grew louder and louder, and the sparks that fell out fell on the velvet grass. Lin Xueyi opened her mouth to blow into the fluffy grass, the smoke got bigger and bigger, the spark got bigger and bigger, and finally it turned into an open flame, the flannel burned up, and then ignited the dead branches, the fire burned bigger and bigger, and they finally got the fire.

Hu Kehao put the animals he picked up from the seaside on the branches of the trees, grilled them in the fire, and the meat made a sizzling sound, constantly bubbling out with oil, and smelled very good. After a while, the meat was cooked, and they ate it. This is genuine seafood, the only regret is that there is no salt in the barbecue, they can't care about this, and they forcibly swallow it.

"Today will be enough, we can make our own salt in the future. That's how I thought, make a stone bowl with sea water, steam the water dry, and the rest is salt, and eat it with barbecue, and it will taste. Hu Kehao said.

"Salt doesn't matter now, we need fresh water." Lin Xueyi said.

"I was born in a poor place with bad mountains and bad waters, and the wear and tear of life has made me accumulate a certain amount of survival experience. Our hometown has experienced drought, and people have come up with many ways to fight the drought. Trust me, I'll get water. Hu Kehao said.

After they finished the barbecue, they went to the pit on the shore to find some water, tasted it, it was a little salty, but much lighter than the sea, and they couldn't drink too much. In order to collect fresh water, Hu Kehao later made a stone bowl and placed it at the bottom of the hole, spread branches around the hole, spread wet leaves on top of the branches, and pressed some stones. After evaporation and condensation, the distilled water flows into the stone bowl, and they get fresh water. Lin Xueyi went around looking for coconuts, cacti and some recognizable plants to get some water.

Having solved their basic living problems, Hu Kehao and Lin Xueyi looked at the sea every day, hoping to meet passing ships to carry them back. The sea is vast, and only the sea, the waves, the seabirds, and the reef accompany them. Life was really boring, and they wandered around the island to see if they could find anything. Although this small island is desolate, there are green forests, colorful flowers, all kinds of exotic fruits, birds singing in the forest, but it is also a good place to travel, but there is no shadow on the island. After they had walked some distance, Hu Kehao turned back and left various markings on the road so that he would not get lost when he returned. They live in shacks, fires, food, stone bowls, and fresh water, and if they get lost and can't find them, it's a pity to lose them.

As they walked, they saw a high mountain that was obscured by clouds, and because the mountain was too high, there were no clouds on the top of the mountain. Hu Kehao said: "There may be people living in the mountains, if this is the case, we will be saved." ”

"Maybe there are immortals living in it, and you can seek the art of immortality." Lin Xueyi said.

"There may also be youkai, so be careful." Hu Kehao said.

They walked into the clouds and mist, and when they came to the foot of the mountain, they found a stone wall with palaces, fairies, and sacred birds painted on it. In the painting, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the fairy is vivid, as if she is about to come out of the painting. Lin Xueyi looked at the mural carefully, found that there was a very strange door inside, and said: "Brother Hao, according to the layout of the palace pavilion, this door looks too big and disproportionate to the surrounding elements, there may be a mystery in it." ”

Hu Kehao saw that the scratches on this door were deep and thick, and the size was twice the size of the door next to it. Although the door should be larger according to the perspective method, it should not be so big. Hu Kehao stretched out his finger and tapped it, and his voice was crisp, as if it was empty inside. He knocked on the stone wall next to him again, and his voice was dull.

Hu Kehao asked Lin Xueyi to stand farther away, he pushed the stone door, and the stone gate actually opened. There were no gold or silver jewels, no demons and monsters, only a staircase paved with multicolored stones. They walked side by side along the stairs all the way forward, Hu Kehao was worried about the situation, so he asked Lin Xueyi to go behind him, and he opened the way in front. After walking the stairs, you will be presented with a vast world in front of you, with lush flowers and trees, gurgling water, self-satisfied birds and animals, and the crisp and melodious singing of birds. Further afield, there is an endless sea of rough seas.

They wandered around the forest and found a palatial palace. The palace has four huge columns, and the walls are inlaid with gems of various colors. There is a pond in the middle of the palace, and there is a pavilion next to it, with golden pillars, a roof made of sandalwood, and the ground is inlaid with rare stones, which are scorching and shining in the sun. In the center of the pavilion is an agarwood chair with beautiful patterns. Flowers and trees flourish by the pond, and hundreds of birds sing in unison. Hu Kehao and Lin Xueyi were completely fascinated by the palace, they didn't expect that there was such a place on the desert island, could it be that the king or rich man of which country built a resort or palace here? They enjoyed the exquisite pavilions, the beautiful singing of birds and the quiet and elegant garden scenery, which made them linger.
