Qin Yue lit the fire as usual, picked up a pile of firewood and put it next to the fire for later use.

The wild fruit I ate last night can only supplement sugar, vitamins and water, and when I wake up in the morning, I obviously feel empty in my stomach, and I rely on wild fruits for a long time to satisfy my hunger, which will inevitably lead to physical exhaustion.

And judging from yesterday, it is not a safe place either, there are signs of animal trampling near the waterhole, and in addition to herbivores, there may also be carnivores coming to drink.

They are only a few meters away from the waterhole, and I am afraid that they will become the belly of wild beasts when the time comes.

Liang Jian has not woken up yet, she needs to replenish her body with heat, maintain her strength, and prepare to find a safe place for him to recuperate, preferably a cave that can shelter him from the wind and rain.

Qin Yue fell in love with the fish in the pool, and when she got up early to wash her face, she saw a few small crucian carp the size of a palm in the cracks of the stones by the pool, but she needed tools.

She used scissors to cut the branches into a sharp stick, she could not make harpoons, she could not find suitable branches, and her stomach was so hungry that she had to make a living.

Cautiously approaching the pool, she lifted the pointed stick and plunged it diagonally into the pool, only to hear a click, and the tip of the stick snapped.

She stuck in the rock, and the crucian carp had already run nimbly, swam into the dark depths of the pool, and disappeared.

Qin Yue did not give up and held another wooden stick, so he repeated the trick.

After several twists and turns, the wooden stick finally inserted a small fish the size of a palm, and at this time the wooden stick had broken several times.

She scraped the scales with stones, cleaned the entrails, and then ran the bark-peeled branch through the fish's mouth, the other end of which was stuck diagonally in the dirt next to the fire.

After eating the grilled fish, Qin Yue pulled a few bundles of vines wrapped around the giant tree behind him, ready to weave a fish basket.

There are surprisingly many vines here, and some of the vines that wrap around the trunks and branches hang down from above, forming a waterfall of dark green vines.

It was effortless to collect vines, but when it came to constant pulling, Qin Yue directly cut them with scissors.

After a noon time passed, Qin Yue exhaled and put the braided fish basket in the pool.

The two ends of the fish basket are pointed and the middle is round, leaving a small opening at one end for the fish to get into.

This kind of simple fish basket, when Qin Yue traveled to the ancient town before, he followed the old man in the countryside to weave it, although the workmanship was rough, it was barely strong.

The wound on Liang Jian's body has stopped bleeding, there is no sign of inflammation, and he has not woken up yet, Qin Yue probably injured the nerves in his brain.

Thankfully, his injuries are improving, and he should be able to wake up in the next two days.

But before that, Qin Yue had to move to a safe place, where the howling of wild beasts could even be heard at night, and it was next to the water source, which was too unsafe.

When looking for herbs and wild fruits yesterday, the half-length cotton dress on Qin Yue's body had been scratched by the bushes along the way, and there were countless small scratches on her calves.

Qin Yue simply tore the skirt and tied it to the calves on both sides, and then tied the denim jacket on the upper body around her waist.

There is only a half-sleeved loose T-shirt left on the upper body.

Fortunately, her usual dress is more casual, otherwise if the canvas shoes on her feet were replaced by high heels, she would not even be able to walk out near the waterhole in this jungle full of rocks and overgrown with weeds and tree roots.

She picked up a thick branch, put her pestle on the ground as a crutch, and set out from the other side of the waterhole, ready to find a cave to move into before dark.

The jungle here was much more difficult to walk than over there, the trees were denser, and the thorns on the bushes cut Qin Yue's cheeks from time to time. The further you go in, the deeper and deeper it becomes, and there is no sound in your ears except the rustle of the leaves under your feet, and it is especially silent.

Staggering all the way, time passed very slowly, Qin Yue was tired of holding on to the trunk of the tree and panting, thinking that Liang Jian was still lying there unconscious, she didn't dare to rest more, and continued to move forward after taking a few breaths.

I don't know how long I walked, the trees in front of me gradually thinned, there were more bushes, and a few boulders appeared at my feet from time to time, through the sparse branches and leaves, Qin Yue saw a large area of bare towering mountain rocks in front of him cutting into the jungle.

She circled the rocks and finally found a natural cave on the mountainside, under a rock wall covered by shrubs.

In front of the cave stood a large rock, blocking the entrance of the cave from a meter away, and above the entrance was a flat rock that looked like a protruding eaves.

The entrance to the cave is narrow, only two people can enter side by side, and the cave is wide and deep.

Qin Yue couldn't see the situation inside the cave clearly, and was worried that there were wild beasts stationed there, so he carefully hid behind the boulder, held his breath and threw a stone into the cave.

The sound of a few stones hitting the ground came, and there was no other movement, Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief and dodged into the cave.

The inside of the cave is much wider than it looks from the outside, about the size of a living room, and the ground is rocky but flat, and there are many bumps in the rock wall.

There is no other exit from the cave, only the entrance is lit, and half of the entrance is blocked by boulders, so the light inside is dim.

Qin Yue cleaned up the cave briefly, picked up dead branches, and lit a fire to illuminate the entire cave.

A bunch of reptiles crawling out of the corner startled Qin Yue, and the torches swept by, and the dense insect corpses made her scalp tingle.

She swept out the dead worms from the cave with a twig, added a few handfuls of dead twigs to the fire, and went back on her way.

I made marks along the way, and when I went back, it was a lot faster, and before the sun set, Qin Yue already felt the edge of the waterhole.

If he was thirsty, he didn't care if he was clean or not, so he drank a few sips of water from the pool.

found another piece of clean ground, sat down on the spot, and looked at Liang Jian lying next to the giant tree, Qin Yue was in trouble.

Liang Jian is more than 1.8 meters tall, and she is only 1.6 meters, so she definitely can't carry it.

Just as he was worried, he heard a small voice coming from Liang Jian, Qin Yue saw his slender fingers move, and his heart was happy, knowing that he was about to wake up.

Sure enough, after a while, Liang Jian slowly opened his good-looking eyes.

"Are you awake?"

Liang Jian struggled to prop up his body and looked at the source of the voice, "Where is this?"

His voice was hoarse.

"Do you want to drink water?" Qin Yue rolled up the leaves, scooped up the water and handed it to Liang Jian, "I don't know where this is?"

Liang Jian looked at her suspiciously, paused, took the water in her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

Qin Yue sat on the ground regardless of her image and told Liang Jian about how she woke up.

"Hmm. Liang Jian nodded, and then asked, "So, we are going to the cave you said now?"

"Well, it's getting dark, it's not safe here. Qin Yue replied as he scooped up the fish basket from the waterhole in the morning, and in the rattan basket, several small crucian carp fluttered and wanted to jump out.

Liang Jian looked at her skillful appearance, his mind was still very confused, he remembered that he hit the steering wheel before, and he lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of him. I thought I would die, but I didn't expect to be in a desperate place.

It's just that how to wake up in this jungle, he is a little confused, and when he thinks about it, his head throbs.

Qin Yue frowned when he saw him, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, knowing that he was the sequelae of the impact, and it would take a while to heal.

"You've hit your head, you've had a concussion, don't think too much about it just yet, it'll be fine after a while. Qin Yue went over to support him, "Can you get up?"

"I'll try. ”

Liang Jian relied on her strength to stand up and take two steps, although it was not too steady, but it was barely able to walk.

"Thank you. Qin Yue lowered his head, and the subtle voice was exceptionally clear in the silent jungle.

Liang Jian turned her head sideways and looked at the scratches on her face, a little distressed.

But thinking of what she said before the car accident, she silently withdrew her raised hand.

Half-loud, a stiff voice sounded, "No, I'm your husband." ”

"Huh?" Qin Yue frowned, not refuting his words.

Indeed, they are still husband and wife in the legal sense, and such alienation and politeness are obviously not appropriate.

Both of them tacitly did not mention the conversation before the car accident.

Qin Yue silently gathered the nearby vines and prepared to take them to the cave to weave a larger basket, in which a few crucian carp and a dozen wild fruits could be used for dinner.

"Let's go. ”

Qin Yue said to Liang Jian, who was walking around the waterhole.

Liang Jian took the things in her hand without saying a word, Qin Yue's physical strength was too much in the past two days, and she didn't insist if she couldn't take so much.

She walked ahead to open the way, picked up the branch in her hand and parted the bushes in front of her, and walked all the way, and there were a few more blood marks on her white calf.

Liang Jian looked at her walking in front with a complicated expression, her tattered skirt tied to her legs, her long black hair tied up with vines, a few strands of hair mixed with sweat sticking to her neck, and her exposed fair skin was covered with tiny scratches.

This is an extremely embarrassed her he has never seen, and she is always strong in front of him.

The only time I saw her cry was when her mother died of cancer, she hid alone in her room and cried silently, licking her wounds silently like a little beast.

Liang Jian walked quickly in front of her, holding the vines in one hand and carrying the fish basket, and waving thick branches in the other hand to split the difficult vines to both sides of the road.

After the two of them switched positions, Qin Yue was much more relaxed, but his hands were empty, allowing the injured to open the way, and he couldn't help but feel sorry.

I was busy looking around, and found a lot of wild fruits on the bushes on both sides of the road, picking them as I walked, and I couldn't hold them with both hands before stopping.

Liang Jian followed the mark she had drawn earlier, and by the time they reached the cave, the sky was already full of stars.

Qin Yue stood at the entrance of the cave and looked up at the vast cosmic galaxy, a hazy halo shrouded the jungle, under the starry sky, she was as small as dust, as if she was in a fairy tale world.

"There is no Milky Way, and there is no Big Dipper. ”

An abrupt voice sounded in her ears, and Liang Jian didn't know when she put things into the cave and stood next to her.

Qin Yue turned his head to look at him, seeing that his face was heavy, he immediately understood.

The Big Dipper may not be visible in some parts of the Southern Hemisphere, but the Milky Way can be seen from almost any corner of the Earth.

Especially now that the stars are dense, in the jungle without light pollution, there is no situation where you can't see the Milky Way.

Both were silent.

The possibility that this is not the Earth is further expanded, and she knows nothing about the creatures here, and she has a kind of panic about the unknown.
