Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 188: Deserted Island Moonlit Night 1
The flames are flourishing, shining brightly in the deep night, and those little sparks jumping into the air are like elves dancing happily.

Qin Haoran and Jiang Yurou sat together under the banana tree in front of the bonfire, listening to the "rustling" sound of the sea breeze blowing the branches and leaves, and felt that it was really a pleasure to be accompanied by such a beautiful woman so quietly.And Jiang Yurou also enjoys this tranquility very much, as if this island, under the shade of a tree, is the center of the whole world, and the stars all over the sky are circling around here.

"Cuckoo..."

In such a beautiful time, Qin Haoran's stomach let out a hungry poop in an untimely manner, completely destroying this peaceful elegance.

Qin Haoran blushed, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Sister Rou, I..."

"It's okay, I'm hungry too, are those things cooked?" Jiang Yurou smiled at Qin Haoran, saving Qin Haoran from a lot of embarrassment.She is such a caring woman.

Qin Haoran nodded with a smile, and skillfully moved the bonfire to the side, and then used branches to dig out the seabirds and a few eggs that had been buried in the soil before.After knocking open the muddy surface, a primitive meaty smell permeated immediately. After drifting on the sea for a day and a night, Qin Haoran and Jiang Yurou, who had only eaten some fruit just now, smelled the meaty smell, The stomach feels more hungry.

After peeling off the mud and the feathers of the seabirds, the tender meat inside was exposed. Qin Haoran took another fruit, squeezed out the juice and dripped it onto the seabirds, and then broke open half of the meat. To Jiang Yurou: "Come on, Sister Rou, be careful of the heat."

"Thank you." Jiang Yurou took the half seabird, and smelled the scent that kept drifting into her nose, and suddenly felt her appetite whetted, but she still didn't open her mouth to eat, but waited for Qin Haoran to come back and sit down. around.

"What's the matter, Sister Rou, you don't like to eat it?" Qin Haoran asked suspiciously when he saw that Jiang Yurou hadn't eaten the seabird yet.

Jiang Yurou shook her head and said with a smile: "You worked so hard to make this, how could I eat it without waiting for you."

Qin Haoran suddenly smiled, thinking that Jiang Yurou is indeed from a scholarly family, but this politeness is very particular, and it makes people very comfortable.He smiled and said, "Come, let's eat together."

After finishing speaking, he took a bite of the half seabird in his hand first, because he knew that Jiang Yurou could feel at ease only if he ate it first.The fact is the same, after Qin Haoran took a bite of the seabird meat, Jiang Yurou opened his mouth slightly, bit off a small piece of meat and began to chew carefully, that made Qin Haoran suspect that this place is not a desolate place. Island, but eating with Jiang Yurou in an elegant western restaurant.

"Well, it's delicious!" Jiang Yurou couldn't help but praise after taking a bite.

The two that Qin Haoran caught belonged to boobies, and their meat was very plump, similar to chicken, but more delicious than chicken.Even though there are no other seasonings here, the original aroma of the boobies, coupled with the sweet and sour taste of the fruit, tastes so delicious that Jiang Yurou couldn't help but take another two bites.

"Come on, Sister Rou, these boobies eggs are also very good." Qin Haoran peeled off a boobies egg and handed it to Jiang Yurou.

This booby egg is about the size of an egg, but it tastes much more eggy.

After this full meal, Jiang Yurou only felt that her whole body regained strength, as if the wound on her foot didn't hurt so much anymore.He also saw that after Qin Haoran finished eating, he cut off several plantain trees in the back, leaving only a [-] to [-] cm high tree head, and then dug the center of the tree head to form a bowl shape.

"These plantain trees have a characteristic. They transport water and nutrients from the roots to the trunks and leaves every day. Although I cut off their trunks, they can still survive for a period of time, and the water and nutrients will still be transported upwards. "Qin Haoran explained to Jiang Yurou while doing it: "After a day like this, the center of the tree head can accumulate [-] to [-] milliliters of water and nutrients. Although the tail is a bit bitter, it is also very nutritious. , can also temporarily solve our drinking water problem.”

After Qin Haoran's explanation, Jiang Yurou suddenly realized, and wondered how Qin Haoran knew so much, these things cannot be read from books.

"Originally, there are lush trees here, so there should be a source of water." Qin Haoran propped up the banana leaves that he saw with other hard branches to form a simple tent, and said at the same time: "But I went into the woods just now to find , there are no fresh water resources such as stream water, so I guess the plants here rely on the abundant precipitation throughout the year on the one hand, and on the other hand rely on groundwater to maintain their lives."

While talking, Qin Haoran quickly set up two simple tents less than one meter apart, and smiled at Jiang Yurou: "In this way, we basically don't have to suffer from the wind and rain."

Seeing Qin Haoran solve the basic living needs of the two of them in a short while, Jiang Yurou admired and felt at ease, and there was even a voice deep in her heart saying: "Or, just living here with him for the rest of your life is also A good choice."

When this voice appeared in his mind, Jiang Yurou's face blushed, and he quickly suppressed the thought.

Seeing Zhou Hao add a few thick branches to the bonfire, he said, "Let it burn like this. It will not only keep you warm, but also serve as a distress signal, making it easier for others to find us."

"Aran, guess how long it will take them to find us?" Jiang Yurou asked suddenly.

"Maybe." Qin Haoran lowered his head and thought for a while: "The key is that we don't know where this place is, and we don't know how far away from Hong Kong. If they are still on an island close to Hong Kong, they can find it within a week at most. We are gone. But it will be bad if we go to Southeast Asia, where there are tens of thousands of islands dotted all over, if we wander there, we may not be found for the rest of our lives."

Qin Haoran was really worried about this possibility, but when he saw that Jiang Yurou was listening to his analysis, his face was very calm, as if he had no worries at all.Qin Haoran only thought that Jiang Yurou was reserved and quiet by nature, but he didn't think of anything else, and continued: "If that's the case, we have to rely on our own strength to go back."

He turned to look at the woods behind, and said, "Anyway, there are a lot of trees here, we can make a raft and go back to civilized society by ourselves!"

Of course, this is the worst plan, after all, a simple small raft is very dangerous in rough seas.

Staring at Qin Haoran's firm back in front of the bonfire, Jiang Yurou said silently in her heart: "Don't worry, Ran, whether it's here or at sea, I will be with you."

But Qin Haoran turned around and smiled at her, "Don't worry, sister Rou, I will definitely take you back!"

Jiang Yurou was taken aback, then smiled lightly, her pair of crystal clear and bright phoenix eyes locked tightly on Qin Haoran's body.

Seeing Jiang Yurou's smile blooming like a hundred flowers, Qin Haoran's heart fluttered unknowingly, his restlessness and worry were diluted a lot, and his mood immediately calmed down.He sat next to Jiang Yurou, and while looking at the sky in the distance, he asked her: "Sister Rou, your family must have controlled you very strictly when you were young, right?"

Jiang Yurou's eyes were fixed, wondering why Qin Haoran would suddenly ask such a question.

"Because I saw that even though you were living in this barbaric place, you disappeared without losing your reserve." Qin Haoran smiled lightly as he looked at the distant night sky with his head in his arms.

"Yes, when we were young, our parents trained us in eating etiquette." Jiang Yurou's voice was faint like the sea breeze: "You can't drink soup without a spoon, and you can't touch the bowl and chopsticks with the spoon so as not to make a sound. Voice, when holding chopsticks in the right hand, the chopsticks must never cross, in order to cultivate our habit in this regard, parents don't know how much thought has been spent, and we have been fined a lot for this."

But Qin Haoran snorted and smiled: "If it were me, how could I pay so much attention to it? People would starve to death. What is this etiquette and that etiquette? I think the most important thing to be a human being is to be happy. Eating is always Human instinct, if so many shackles are added to this instinct, then what is the meaning of life?"

Jiang Yurou looked at Qin Haoran with twinkling eyes, and seemed to want to live the kind of life he said, but she shook her head after all: "We can't, if my father hears what you said, he will have to take the vine I'll beat you."

Hearing Jiang Yurou's funny words, Qin Haoran couldn't help laughing: "By the way, Sister Rou, you just said that you have brothers and sisters in your family?"

"Of course I have." Jiang Yurou said with some reproach: "Didn't I tell you before? I also have a younger sister."

Qin Haoran scratched his head and smiled, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I forgot."

According to Jiang Yurou, there is a younger sister in her family who is only in her early twenties this year and is still unmarried.According to Jiang Yurou's words, her younger sister's temperament is far less calm and quiet than her. It is only after years of education from her parents and family that she barely suppresses her supposedly lively personality.

Qin Haoran couldn't help sighing in his heart. He didn't know if he was happy to grow up in a scholarly family like the Jiang family. Seeing that Jiang Yurou was "taught" so much, he didn't have any personality of his own.It was also fortunate that she was not the lively and restless character of Zhou Luohong, otherwise she would have been suffocated to death.

I also heard Jiang Yurou say that when she was a child, under the education of her parents, she recited the Four Books and Five Classics, and studied various cultural subjects. Only then did Qin Haoran realize that there is such a thing as family history, that is, only a scholarly family like the Jiang family can cultivate Jiang Yurou Such a talented girl, otherwise, ordinary people don't even have so many books.

"Sister Rou, you are tired too, let's go to bed earlier." Seeing that Jiang Yurou's eyes looked tired, Qin Haoran said proactively.

"Yeah." Jiang Yurou nodded, seeing the simple tent that Qin Haoran had set up, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, and a smile unconsciously curled up at the corner of her mouth.
