The strongest soldier

Time passed day by day, and unknowingly a month had passed. A large area of ​​forest in the southwest region was cut down by Luo Zheng. The trees that were cut down first could not withstand the high temperature and were dried out. Just a spark would burn. Although this period of time was also It rained, but the wind wasn't strong and it didn't rain for long, so it didn't affect Luo Zheng's preparations.

One morning a month later, after breakfast, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue continued to walk southwest. Although the trees in the plan were almost cut down, in order to ensure nothing was missed, Luo Zheng decided to march deeper into the island and cut down more trees. More trees will ensure that the fire will burn. Lan Xue does not object to this proposal. If there is no strong wind, you can't light a fire. If you are idle, you will be idle. Cutting more trees can increase the success rate. Why not?

After more than a month of high-intensity cutting, Luo Zheng's sword skills and strength have improved a lot, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain. This result made Luo Zheng and Lan Xue very happy. They came to the southwest and entered as usual. Cutting down continued deep in the forest. This kind of work was already familiar. Because the large trees were cut down, the surrounding birds, beasts, poisonous snakes, etc. had all moved away. There was no danger at all. This work lasted most of the day.

At noon, Lan Xue made a fire to make food. There were no wild animals around. The two brought bacon and picked a few handfuls of wild vegetables and cooked them together. The taste was not bad. The traps set by the stream were able to provide food every day. Luo Zheng brought a surprise. When he was making sea salt in the evening, he caught some fish and there was no need to worry about food.

After one or two months of practice, Luo Zheng's fishing skills became more and more proficient, and his harvest became bigger and bigger. Without the worry of food, Luo Zheng devoted all his energy to cutting down trees, and his efficiency was naturally much higher. Taking advantage of Lan Xue's While lighting the fire, Luo Zheng quickly climbed up a coconut tree and cut a few down to drink as usual.

After looking at the coconuts, Luo Zheng put away the tiger-tooth saber and looked at the sea habitually, preparing to get off the tree. Suddenly he found a black spot moving on the sea, like the outline of a ship. He was startled and looked intently. Sure enough, Like a ship, but going in the other direction, too far away to call for help.

"Xue'er, I saw the ship." Luo Zheng shouted in surprise.

"Where?" Lan Xue asked in surprise. He had been living like a primitive man for more than two months, and Lan Xue was eager to see things of modern civilization.

"The distance is too far to see clearly. I can only see the outline, huh?" Luo Zheng said with a surprised sound.

"What's wrong?" Lan Xue asked in surprise.

"There seems to be an island over there, and the ship passed towards the island." Luo Zheng said in surprise.

"Island? It's not surprising that there are other islands in this damn place, but why are the ships going to the island? Is it possible that there are still people living on the island? Then they will soon be able to see us lighting a fire here?" Lan Xue said, and then she became surprised and left. Get ready to climb under a coconut tree.

Luo Zheng was shocked when he saw this scene and shouted quickly: "You can't climb the tree. It's too far. You can't see anything clearly even if you climb up. My eyesight is so good that I can barely see the outline."

"Oh, okay." Lan Xue smiled and gave up. It had been too long since he had seen anything modern and civilized, and he couldn't help but be curious. However, for the sake of his children, Lan Xue decisively gave up.

"This place must be far away from where humans live. I'm afraid this island is not simple. It's either a base of a certain country or a base of some forces. But it has nothing to do with us, so leave it alone." Luo Zheng said as he slid down the tree and grabbed a He cut a hole in a coconut and handed it to Lan Xue. He cut another and drank a few sips to quench his thirst. After drinking it, he threw it away. He looked at the bonfire and said, "The island is not bad. If it doesn't work, I can make it simpler." We can go there on a raft. It takes up to half a day to get to that island here. If we go in the morning, we might arrive in the afternoon. If we choose better weather, it won’t be a big problem. If there are people on that island, we will have a way to go home."

"Yes, it's a good thing after all." Lan Xue thought it right and agreed.

"What I'm worried about is the people on the island. If it's a base from a certain country, it's easy to handle. If we show our identity, the other party will have to be a little more cautious and send us back. If it's a mercenary base, a killer organization base, etc., we will die if we go up there. Undoubtedly, it might be better to go at night and sneak ashore under the cover of darkness." Luo Zheng said with a smile.

"It makes sense. It's an alternative plan. Let's continue burning the mountain, right?" Lan Xue asked.

"Yes, continue to burn the mountains and try not to take risks on the sea, because no one knows what dangers will happen. We can't afford the consequences. If burning the mountains doesn't work, we will find a way to sneak to that island." Luo Zheng affirmed. He said, his eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the island, and his eyes became firm.

The two chatted for a while. The food in the helmet was cooked and shared. After resting for a while, Luo Zheng continued to cut down. Burning the mountain was the first option. It was impossible to give up. If he was alone or had no children, Luo Zheng He didn't mind building a raft to leave and sneaking to another island. It wasn't a big problem given the strength of the two of them, but with a child, safety was the top priority in everything, so Luo Zheng didn't dare to take risks.

Lan Xue knew what Luo Zheng was thinking, so she didn't mention anything about the other island and continued to guard Luo Zheng. This work lasted another half day. At dusk, the two of them packed up and walked slowly along the beach towards the cave. Talking while walking, saying thoughtful words between lovers, is extremely pleasant.

When he was about to reach the cave, Luo Zheng suddenly said: "Starting tomorrow, let's make some fires."

"What do you mean?" Lan Xue asked in surprise.

"Use wood to make a tic-shaped shape. It doesn't need to be too high. Put the remaining branches inside. It will be easy to light a fire and burn quickly. Make a few more and set the fire quickly. Place them all on the outside and surround the entire southwest area. , if two people light a fire together, the effect will definitely be different if there is a fire." Luo Zheng explained.

"Okay, it's up to you." Lan Xue thought about it and thought it was feasible, and agreed.

It is easy to set fire everywhere, but it is not easy to burn the fire. It is different if there is a fire prepared in advance. The tic-tac-toe deconstruction is made of dry wood. It can be ignited at one point and the fire will soon form. The fire will be strong with the wind. It spreads easily. Sporadic ignition is too slow, and the fire cannot be caught and will be blown out by strong winds. When Luo Zheng was a child, he hunted with adults and burned mountains, so he had rich experience in this area.

While speaking, Luo Zheng looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow will be another sunny day. As long as it stays sunny for a few more days, our preparations will be in place."

"Yes, I have worked hard for you during this period. I hope there will be no accidents." Lan Xue said distressedly, looking towards the sea, a hint of unnoticeable worry flashed in his eyes. If the preparations this time are not enough, Lan Xue Xue couldn't imagine how long the two of them could hold on?
