Chapter 309: Get away from the hustle and bustle
Half an hour later, Lin Youcheng also returned, and with a full load, it seemed that he was fully loaded.
I saw a lot of things in Lin Youcheng's arms, all kinds of wild fruits, flowers and plants that couldn't be named, and even a few bird eggs that were slightly smaller than eggs. Not only that, but he even had two black seabirds that had passed out tied around his waist.
"Hehehe, although there are no people on this island, there are a lot of things to eat." Lin Youcheng put down the things in his arms and smiled at Ma Lin, who was stunned.
Similarly, he was quite surprised that Marin had started the fire in a short period of time, and then saw Lin Youcheng take out a bag the size of a steamed bun from the pocket of his shorts. Then he took out a small folding saber and a silver roller kerosene lighter from the bag.
"As long as there is a tinder, we can be much easier here." Lin Youcheng said.
Then, Lin Youcheng found a lot of dead branches and leaves, and then wrapped the two white seabirds with clean wet soil, and buried them in the ground with the eggs, and then built a bonfire in this clearing, the technique was both skillful and fast, so that Ma Lin thought that he and Lin Youcheng had come here to camp.
"Come, Marlin, I'll help you take care of the wound on your foot first." After working for a while, Lin Youcheng sat down beside Ma Lin, put her pair of lotus feet in his arms, and carefully removed the sand and dried blood from the wound.
Although the wound was a little painful when he was touched by Lin Youcheng, Ma Lin didn't snort, just quietly looked at his serious and resolute face in the flickering firelight.
After getting rid of the mud and dried blood on the soles of Ma Lin's feet, Lin Youcheng took a few flowers and plants that he picked back from the woods, mashed them with wood, and then applied them to the soles of Ma Lin's feet, and finally wrapped her legs with palm leaves, and smiled at her:
"These shoes are a little shabby, but they always have some protection."
Marin felt a cool feeling on the wound of the herbs, and said to him:
"These are herbs for external injuries, so you can put some on them too."
Lin Youcheng knew that the wound on his back was not a minor problem, and he was indeed worried about the danger of bacterial infection, so he nodded. He mashed the rest of the herbs and lay down on his stomach while Marin untied the gauze that had been wrapped around his back, applied herbs to his wounds, and bandaged them back.
Then, the two of them sat in front of the campfire, waiting for the food to be cooked while listening to the sound of the waves in the distance, and at the same time eating the thick and juicy fruit, feeling that this quiet environment was not a pleasure.
"Lin Youcheng, you are so powerful, you can also find life-saving herbs on this desert island." Marin smiled slightly.
She really admired Lin Youcheng, on such an uninhabited desert island, it was really a big problem for ordinary people to survive, and Lin Youcheng only took half an hour to find so much food, obviously he had been trained in the wild.
What's more important is that Lin Youcheng's calmness and self-confidence that he has never lost even when he is in danger, can make the people around him feel stable, as if as long as he is by his side, there is no difficulty that cannot be solved.
Lin Youcheng said with a smile:
"These are just basic herbs, and they are available in many places, but ordinary people don't pay attention to them."
The flames were blazing, shining brilliantly in the dark night, and the little sparks that jumped into the air were like spirits dancing with joy.
The two sat together under the coconut tree in front of the bonfire, quietly listening to the rustle of the tide crashing on the shore, Lin Youcheng only felt that it was really a pleasure to be accompanied by a beautiful woman so quietly. And Marin also enjoyed the tranquility very much, as if this island, under the shade of this tree, was the center of the whole world, and the starlight in the sky was revolving around it.
"Goo-goo..."
In such a good time, Lin Youcheng's stomach made a hungry sound very inappropriately, destroying this quiet elegance.
Lin Youcheng's face turned red, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, but eating fruit doesn't seem to fight hunger."
"It's okay, I'm hungry too, these are the oysters I made, rich in protein, you can eat this first." Marin smiled at Lin Youcheng.
Lin Youcheng smiled and nodded, and he was very skillful in priing open the oyster shell with a knife, curling his tongue and squeaking to solve a delicious oyster.
After the two of them ate some oysters, Lin Youcheng also moved the bonfire to the side, and then used branches to dig up the seabirds and a few eggs that had been buried in the ground. After knocking the mud on the surface, a primitive smell of meat immediately spreads, and after a day and a night of drifting on the sea, the two of them who have just eaten only some cold fruits and oysters feel even hungrier after smelling this smell of meat.
After peeling off the mud and the feathers of the seabirds, revealing the fragrant and tender meat inside, Lin Youcheng took another fruit, squeezed out its juice and dripped it onto the seabird meat, and then broke half of it and handed it to Ma Lin:
"Come, often the original flavor of Southeast Asia, be careful of hot hands."
"Thank you." Ma Lin took the half of the seabird, and smelled the fragrance that kept wafting into his nose, and immediately felt his appetite increased, but he still didn't open his mouth to eat, but waited for Lin Youcheng to come back and sit beside him.
"What's wrong, don't like to eat?" Lin Youcheng saw that Ma Lin hadn't eaten this bird meat yet, so he asked suspiciously.
Marin shook his head and said with a smile:
"This is what you worked so hard to make, how can I eat it without waiting for you."
Lin Youcheng smiled suddenly, thinking that Ma Lin was really self-contained, obviously he was hungry, and he was still thinking about himself, and his heart was also warm and comfortable. He laughed and said:
"Come, let's eat together."
With that, he took the first bite on the half of the seabird in his hand, because he knew that only by eating it himself could Marin settle down. In fact, when Lin Youcheng took a bite of seabird meat, Ma Lin Caiyu's mouth opened slightly, and he bit off a small piece of meat and chewed it carefully.
"Well, it's delicious!" Marin couldn't help but praise after taking a bite.
The two large birds that Lin Youcheng captured belonged to long-distance migration, and their meat was very fat, similar to rabbit meat, and it was smoother and more tender than rabbit meat.
Even though there were no other seasonings here, the original aroma of the bird meat, coupled with the sweet and sour taste of the fruit, was so delicious that Marin couldn't help but take two more bites.
"Come on, Marlin, this egg is good, too." Lin Youcheng peeled off a bird's egg and handed it to Marin.
The eggs are about the size of a quail egg, but they taste much stronger.
After this full meal, Marin only felt that his whole body had regained his strength, as if even the wound on his foot was not so painful. Seeing that Lin Youcheng finished eating, he hurriedly chopped some wooden sticks, palm leaves, and vines, and skillfully set up a simple bed.
"When we survive in the wild, we must keep our beds away from the ground, so that insects, snakes, rats, etc., will not climb on us." Lin Youcheng explained:
"Also, I went into the woods just now, and there are no fresh water resources such as small streams, so I guess the plants here depend on the abundant precipitation throughout the year and the groundwater on the other hand, but I found a plantain forest, and with these coconuts, our water problem has been solved."
While speaking, Lin Youcheng quickly set up two simple beds less than one meter apart, and smiled at Ma Lin:
"Let's sleep tonight, and we'll wait until tomorrow to fix food and improve accommodation."
Looking at Lin Youcheng for a while, the basic living needs of the two of them were solved, Ma Lin's heart was very quiet and relaxed, and there was even a voice in the bottom of his heart saying: "Away from the hustle and bustle, it seems that living here is also a good choice." ”
This voice appeared in his mind, and Marin's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly suppressed this thought.
