After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

Howling in pain from his throat, Zhang Liu felt that his whole calf was constantly spasming.

"You relax!"

Although Qin Ruoyan didn't know what happened to Zhang Liu, she still had a basic way of dealing with cramps.

"Exhale, inhale, raise your calves!" Holding Zhang Liu's head tightly to his chest to straighten it, Qin Ruoyan pressed one leg on the other's thigh, making his whole body straight.

At the same time, she said anxiously next to Zhang Liu's ear: "Don't be anxious, be sure to relax. The more relaxed you are, the faster the cramps will be relieved."

"Well!"

Zhang Liu had no room to think at this moment, he just passively completed the stretching movements according to Qin Ruoyan's words.

Finally, after the last trace of pain disappeared, he relaxed under the nervous gazes of the three girls.

"Ha...ha...ha..." Zhang Liu collapsed on Qin Ruoyan's chest, panting heavily.

He now feels like he is surviving a disaster.

"what happened to you?"

At this moment, Qin Ruoyan's calm questioning voice made Zhang Liu realize that something was wrong with his posture.

He struggled to get up quickly, and then said, "My leg was cramped just now."

"I know it's your leg cramps. I'm asking how it happened." Qin Ruoyan looked at the area on her school uniform chest that was wet by Zhang Liu, then frowned and asked, "I didn't see you having any problems before."

"I had malnutrition when I was young. Later, it would happen even if I was overtired." Zhang Liu said with a little helplessness: "I guess I ran to get coconuts last night and overused my legs."

Then he said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, it seemed like..."

"So that's it, you have to pay attention in the future." Qin Ruoyan nodded lightly, then waved her hand to ask Zhang Liu to stop his embarrassing words, and then she continued: "You should also have a good rest this afternoon. I will go back to the beach to see if there is anything there. There’s no food to bring back.”

"Okay... okay!" Feeling the calf muscles that he had finally relaxed, Zhang Liu nodded and said, "Please."

After saying that, he lay weakly on the ground.

With a slight nod, Qin Ruoyan took out all the water and food in her backpack and walked to the beach outside with her backpack on her back.

It was already before dusk in the afternoon, and her target was the same as Zhang Liu's yesterday, which was the reef area here.

Compared to Zhang Liu who found nothing yesterday, Qin Ruoyan's eyes had already landed on a few dark things near the reef beach.

No matter how she looked at it, these things didn't look like stones or plants...

but rather like...

eel?

Or a sea snake?

....................................

At the same time, near the cave, Anya, who had finally succeeded in cooking a handful of salt for the Nth time, was discussing with Gu Qingrou whether they could eat it immediately.

Section 58 # Volume [-] A stable food source is the first step in development: Chapter [-] Suddenly there is no sense of security...

"Classmate Anya, I think this kind of salt should not be eaten casually!" Gu Qingrou said with a serious face: "I have learned about bitter salt in chemistry class, and it must contain minerals and magnesium chloride. The ingredients are mixed together!”

"Um...then what do you think we should do..."

Anya knows that you can't eat salt that is cooked directly.

But now it’s better to eat without salt.

It's nothing to eat some poisonous salt, right?

"filter!"

A few days ago, Gu Qingrou really wouldn't have been able to come up with any effective method.

But the person she is now is no longer the person she was a few days ago.

Gu Qingrou had personally witnessed Zhang Liu's process of filtering drinking water before.

So at this moment, she also had a rough idea.

It's just that the details are still lacking.

"How do you filter it? This is all melted..."

After hearing Gu Qingrou's suggestion, Anya also had a helpless expression on her face.

She hadn't thought about anything.

But it’s not just that a clever woman can’t make a meal without rice!

"Can this be done..." Picking up several clam shells that Anya picked up to use as containers, Gu Qingrou recalled Zhang Liu's previous operations and said, "Let's stack them together and put them inside." Use sand, charcoal or the like as a filter, and then pour in the thick seawater that is about to be burned to dryness?"

"Will it work?"

Anya expressed doubts about Gu Qingrou's words. The filtering tool the other party mentioned was too different from the test tube beaker in her mind...

"I do not know."

Hearing Anya's questioning tone, Gu Qingrou could only shake her head helplessly.

Is this filtering method useful?

It's really something she doesn't even know about.

"Well, that seems to be all we have."

Shaking her head helplessly, Anya packed all the sea salt she had worked on all afternoon in a clean clam shell and went back to the cave.

It's getting late, so let's make do with this salt tonight.

Inside the cave, Qin Ruoshuang had already caught five rabbits.

Four are already dead.

One big and three small.

There is also a small one that is still alive.

"Why are you keeping it?" Without waiting for Qin Ruoshuang's reaction, Anya grabbed the tied little rabbit by the neck and held it in her hand for inspection.

"Well, I'm wondering if I can raise them..." Qin Ruoshuang said hesitantly: "Didn't Zhang Liu say that there may be a rainy season here in the future, and it may be more troublesome to find food then? , if there is a way to breed it..."

"Raise rabbits..." After hearing Qin Ruoshuang's words, Anya hesitated.

She only has experience raising cattle, but she really doesn't know much about rabbits.

"Rabbits seem to want to eat carrots..." Gu Qingrou had raised little rabbits at home, but at that time the maid sister helped raise them, so she had no good advice at all.

"The rabbits here seem to be eating grass." After hearing Gu Qingrou's words, Qin Ruoshuang suddenly felt helpless.

In these days, she has walked through the entire grassland the size of three football fields.

There are all kinds of weeds, and there may be wild vegetables in them, but with Qin Ruoshuang's vision and knowledge, she doesn't know them at all.

Next to the grass is a large open space.

Further north, there are rocky areas and jungles where sheep roam, and to the east, there are jungles and ridges.

It would take at least two or three days to go back and forth to those places.

At present, the people are dispersed enough, and they are unwilling to risk exploring alone.

"What I'm most worried about now is that the rabbit can burrow, so if I keep it outside, will it burrow and escape." Taking the rabbit carefully from Anya's hand, Qin Ruoshuang said: "Be careful too, don't Got bitten by it.”

"I know, I know."

Anya waved her hands indifferently, and then she also put forward her own opinion.

"Why don't we kill this one first, and then we can keep it here?" Anya scratched her head, pointed at her feet and said, "Didn't Zhang Liu mention it to us before? We will definitely move out of the cave in the future. "

"Sister Anya is right. If you keep it here, it can be safely raised."

After Gu Qingrou heard Anya's suggestion, her first thought was that she could eat an extra rabbit tonight.

Later, I also realized that if I raise rabbits here in the stone cave, the rabbits will indeed not be able to dig holes.

But then she also asked in a low voice: "Did classmate Zhang Liu say we all have to move out?"

"Well, he said that living here is only temporary. In the future, he will definitely find a place with water source to live, and then it will be convenient for the next development."

Qin Ruoshuang cleared her throat, and then told Gu Qingrou all the rough plans she heard from Zhang Liu.

"Is the shipbuilding out of danger?" After hearing the whole process, Gu Qingrou's eyes widened.

She had never imagined such a bold act.

"Yes, Zhang Liu said that it would be difficult for him to build a ship that can sail on the sea by himself, but if everyone works together, the situation will be completely different." Qin Ruoshuang nodded, and then He handed the rabbit to Anya again and said, "Then... I'll leave it to you to handle the matter?"

"Row!"

Nodding, Anya picked up the blade from the side, then walked outside with four rabbits.

The sunset was already turning red, and she had to speed up the process.

........................

At the same time, on the beach side, Zhang Liuzheng looked at the alloy pot and bonfire in front of him with salivation.

On top of the campfire are four pieces of moray eel.

To be precise, there were two pieces, and then Qin Ruoyan used a fire hammer to cut them directly in the center into four pieces.

"I thought it was a snake at first." Faced with Zhang Liu's continuous praise and praise from the beginning to now, Qin Ruoyan was so used that she said with a smile: "I just thought about asking you to help, but then I saw the dorsal fin on the edge of It’s connected to the tail fin, and the color is wrong, so I just did it myself.”

"It's better not to take such risks in the future. If something happens, it will be over." After Zhang Liu heard what Qin Ruoyan said, he also said with a little worry: "What if it's a snake!"

"Well! Don't worry, I will be careful in the future."

Hearing Zhang Liu's words, Qin Ruoyan immediately acknowledged in a low voice, and then expressed her credit for herself: "You also have to pay attention to your health. If you didn't have cramps and need to supplement your nutrition, I wouldn't take the risk!"

"That's it...I'm so sorry..."

These conversations between the two made Lan Yueting and Su Yan a little confused.

Is the eldest lady of the Qin family so easy to talk to?

Then why when they were in school before, when they tried to talk to each other like crazy, they would only get polite answers.

And why do her last few words sound a little weird?

The ones who are particularly in need of nutritional supplements should be the two of us who have been hungry for nearly ten days, right?

While all of them were confused.

Su Yan watched Zhang Liu and Qin Ruoyan communicate on an almost equal footing and put forward opinions to each other.

Then she remembered that Zhang Liu always spoke politely to her, but she suddenly felt a little unsafe in her heart...

Section 59 # Volume [-] A stable food source is the first step in development: Chapter [-] If others don’t take care of you, I will take care of you.

Feeling that something was wrong with Su Yan's mood, Lan Yueting also looked at the person next to her who was not a sister but was better than a sister.

Just when she was about to ask.

"Snapped……"

The sound of a piece of wood exploding in the campfire attracted the attention of the four people.

"I feel like it's almost done..." Zhang Liu swallowed hard and said, "It's time to eat..."

With Qin Ruoyan's support, the dinner for the four of them has made qualitative progress.

Rabbit meat is stewed in coconut milk and palm flowers, and grilled eel meat is the staple food.

Coconut meat is a dessert fruit.

If you include coconut water, the four of you still have a full three liters of fresh water to drink.

Zhang Liu's feet had almost recovered around the afternoon.

Qin Ruoyan went to the beach to find food, and he just happened to get a pile of firewood nearby.

And also found some food that looked like old peanuts.

After the inside is opened, it looks like the dried longan meat eaten during the Chinese New Year, sticky.
