Koi Survival Code

Chapter 4: Making Fire on the Uninhabited Island
"Um"

No. 1 responded, as if sensing the nervousness of the people beside him, he thought for a while and added
"I know."

He remembered that when he counted the supplies, there was nothing to light the fire.

Qiao Nuonuo already had a little understanding of his sensitivity, probably at that time, he knew what they lacked.

"rest assured."

He obviously doesn't have any comforting experience, but his self-confidence and calmness have given Qiao Nuonuo enough courage.

She squatted aside, watching him take out a piece of dry wood picked up on the road that had dried up to a certain extent, and then used the sharp blade of a military shovel to cut off a dry branch.

"Drilling wood to make fire?"

Qiao Nuonuo looked at these rudimentary preparations with some suspicion. She remembered that in this way, even with professional fire-making wooden boards, the success rate was very low.

"Um"

Number 1 fluffed up a clump of hay and pressed it under the piece of wood that rubbed off sawdust when touched.

Stand the polished and smooth branch about one meter long on the wooden board, hold the branch with both hands, and rub it back and forth from top to bottom.

The frequency of his rotation is not fast, but it is very stable, and the branch stands firmly on the wood without the slightest slip or looseness.

Vaguely, Qiao Nuo Nuo seemed to have seen a small spark flickering away.

She suddenly widened her eyes nervously, holding her breath and staring carefully.Sure enough, more and more sparks flew into the dry grass beneath the log.

The next moment, No. 1 threw away the branch, took a ball of dry grass in his hand, and gently blew air into the gap between his fingers.

Puffs of smoke came out of his hand, and sparks caught fire in the dried grass.

He neatly threw the hay onto the pile of dry firewood that had been set up in advance, and in an instant, the fire was ablaze.

The scorching temperature dissipated the chill of the night, and Qiao Nuonuo couldn't help but get closer.

The wet clothes were baked by the fire, but they were half dry after a while.

"I'll go around to find some dry firewood, you're right here, don't go far."

No. 1 warmed up for a while, and after a confession, he picked up the military shovel and went into the jungle.

Qiao Nuonuo opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words of concern on his lips.

They are not considered friends, and may even become enemies after a while.

Qiao Nuonuo stayed in the camp, touched his flat stomach, and with a thought, he took out the iron pot, iron spoon and rice from the space.

She poured a little mineral water into the iron pot and cleaned it briefly. The pot was new, and the water after use was not dirty. Their fresh water was limited, and she was reluctant to pour it out.

After thinking about it, she tore apart a set of bed sheets, took out a pillowcase inside, tore it a bit, but without tearing it, she took a fruit knife and cut a simple handkerchief out.

She poured water on the handkerchief, wet the handkerchief, wiped first her face and then her hands.

There was no sticky sweat stains, and the salty sea breeze made her feel much refreshed.

With the remaining water, the handkerchief was simply scrubbed, soaked again, and placed on the stone beside it.

Then she poured two handfuls of rice into the pot, poured in water, thought about it, took out a bag of salt, and sprinkled some in.

Finally, she found a few thick logs to fix around the fire, and then she put the pot on it with confidence.

She found a clean stone, moved it over and sat down, holding an iron spoon, stirring it a few times from time to time.

When he came back on the 1st, what he saw was Qiao Nuonuo sitting in front of the fire and lighting a fire to cook.

The jumping flames reflected on her clean and fair face. At this moment, he realized that the teammate he picked up by accident was not bad looking!

Honestly speaking, it should be said that it is very beautiful.

Qiao Nuonuo had short ear-length hair. The smooth, black hair ran down her cheeks and stopped under her small chin. It was paired with air bangs, and there were a few raised hairs on the top of her head.

She was already delicate and petite, but after this hairstyle was modified, her eyes looked even bigger, and her dark pupils rolled smoothly, with a bit of agility, and she looked very well-behaved.

A small cherry red mouth is lightly sipped, fair skin, but abnormally pale, the whole person is thin and small, with a bit of frailty, at first glance, he looks like a minor!
In fact, she is only 21 years old, she will graduate from university next year, and she is still a student now.

No. 1 watched quietly, his light-colored eyes looked a little dark against the background of the night.

"You're back! Come and eat!"

Qiao Nuonuo noticed the staring gaze, and sharply raised his head. Seeing him, he seemed to be relieved, and the corners of his lips curled up, greeting him a little happily.

Her sparkling eyes illuminated by the fire made No. 1 lose his mind for a moment.

Then he walked over silently, threw the two bundles of dry firewood he had picked up far away from the fire, and sat casually on the ground beside Qiao Nuonuo.

Qiao Nuonuo handed him the clean wet handkerchief beside him, then took out two iron basins, washed them with water, poured water into one of the iron basins, and started serving porridge.

No. 1 held a semi-dry handkerchief and felt at a loss for what to do. After serving the porridge, Qiao Nuonuo realized that he didn't understand what he meant. He bent his lips and smiled, saying:

"Scrub it, it's very comfortable, wipe it clean before eating!"

After No. 1 wiped it clean, she handed him the porridge. Before he could react, she took away the veil he had used, then scrubbed it clean with water from another iron basin, and put it back in place.

Only then did I start serving porridge for myself.

Seeing her scrubbing the handkerchief she used without minding, the man was momentarily at a loss, but in the blink of an eye, he was suppressed again.

He usually walks alone mostly, and occasionally goes on missions with his teammates, and he is also a group of men.

He has never had contact with women... let alone the experience of living together.

At his age, it's not that he doesn't understand the things between men and women.

Even because he is a person who is very sensitive to emotions, sometimes he may be able to perceive more clearly than those parties who are in love with each other, how many other things are mixed in the so-called love of the other party!
It's just that in the past, he always played the role of a bystander, watching with cold eyes.

It's not that there are no women who admire him, and he can occasionally feel the sincerity of the other party, but he knows better that his heart is cold.

But at this moment, he vaguely felt that something was faintly getting out of control...

He drank the porridge expressionlessly, and Qiao Nuonuo naturally didn't know what was going on in his mind.

She held her own porridge, blew it gently, and then sipped it in small sips.

They didn't eat for a day, and they did a lot of work, walked a lot, and soaked in the water for a long time.

She was so hungry a long time ago, but she couldn't find a place to stay for the night, so she could only endure it.

Now that she can drink the porridge quietly, she feels extremely satisfied.

The hot porridge drank into the stomach, and the stomach was warm and very comfortable.

No. 1 looked at her with squinted eyes and a contented face, like a cat stealing fish, and there was a touch of softness in his lowered eyes unconsciously.

"I added a little salt to the porridge. We sweated a lot today. We need to add some electrolytes so that we can have energy tomorrow."

Qiao Nuonuo explained softly while drinking the porridge.

After thinking about it, she took out two compressed biscuits and handed them to him.

"I have a small appetite, and porridge is enough. This is for you. The porridge digests quickly. If you are hungry at night, you can eat this pad."

"Um"

He stared at her dark and bright eyes for a while, then turned his eyes, took the biscuit, and responded softly.

He really didn't have enough to eat, so he didn't try to be brave.

No. 1 opened a bag of biscuits and gnawed on the porridge. Qiao Nuonuo watched and handed him a bottle of water.

Even so, No. 1 ate faster than Qiao Nuonuo. After eating, he went to clean up the camp that had just been cleared out by the light of the fire.

Qiao Nuonuo put the used pots and pans directly into the space, and planned to go to the seaside to wash them with sea water tomorrow.

"Give me the moisture-proof cloth."

She nodded, handed him the damp cloth, and spread it on the ground with him.

Then she handed him the wet handkerchief, motioning for him to wipe off the grass juice and dirt on his hands.

Turning around, he took out the bed sheet that he had unpacked before, and spread it on the moisture-proof cloth. The rest of the quilt can be kept to cover his body at night.

"Take out the raincoat too. Wear it to sleep at night. It can be used as a layer of protection. In addition, if it rains at night, you won't get wet."

No. 1 took the handkerchief while frowning, and said.

In fact, he'd never encountered one as refined as No. 6 in the wild.

In the past, when he encountered such a situation, he was most likely to dislike the other party's hypocrisy...

But I don't know why, when No. 6 does these meticulous and hypocritical things, he has a strange feeling that is pleasing to the eye.

He still didn't refuse, took a handkerchief, and scrubbed himself carefully.

It was rare to hear him say such a long sentence in one breath, Qiao Nuonuo gave him a surprised look, and then obediently took out his raincoat.

Qiao Nuonuo flipped through the raincoats folded into small bags, and handed one to No. 1. After thinking about it, he took out two more and put them on the made bed as pillows for the two of them.

She put on her raincoat, sat cross-legged on the bed, and looked at the things in the space.

After a while, she took out a bottle of insecticide, sprayed it around the bed, and then took out a bottle of mosquito repellent and sprayed it fiercely on herself.

Then he trotted to No. 1 who was adding firewood, motioned him to stand up, and sprayed again around him.

The pungent smell made the two of them cough.

"It's better to choke to death than to be covered in bugs!"

She muttered and lay back on the bed, leaving No. 1 thoughtful.

After he heard the sound of even breathing coming from behind him, his light gray pupils flashed a trace of inhuman coldness.

He sat alone in front of the fire, his slender and strong fingers moved slightly, and a strange silver light flashed with his movements, like the crooked scythe of the god of death hiding in the darkness to harvest life at any time...

After a long time, everything gradually returned to calm.

On the other side, the little girl, who has long been unknown, wrapped herself tightly with a quilt from head to toe, and slept soundly on her homemade small pillow!

I don't know if it's to prevent insects or to protect myself. When No. 1 saw this scene while sleeping, I felt amused.

She left most of the space for him, and there was a folded quilt cover on the bed, as well as her small pillow of the same style...

Strangely, seeing this on the 1st, I feel a little happy again!
With a mood of doubting himself, No. 1 fell asleep in a daze with a pink quilt cover around his waist.
