20. Cleaning Prelude
【The eighth day begins】
【Number of survivors: 11】
The number of people today has not changed.
After coming out of the sleeping bag, Xia Yi calculated that there were ten people on their island, and now there were six people who died. There were five people on another island, but now there were still five people.
What was the situation on that island? Did all the people in the past have high-quality games?
After a moment of confusion, Xia Yi put down this matter. He walked out of the tent.
Qiu Ruoyan was boiling water, and the boy sat next to him, eating berries.
"I exchanged it for wild vegetables." The boy said nervously.
Ignoring him, Xia Yi splashed his face with the water from another pot of clay pot.
"Hey, do you think the island over there is rich in supplies? Why are they not dead alone?" the boy asked Xiang Xia Yi.
"Maybe there is a high moral play over there." Xia Yi glanced at the boy.
"Are you implying that I am not moral? I have the ability to take you to live for fifty days, of course I am just cleaning up the snow in front of the door. Why should I bring those oil bottles?" the boy said while chewing the berries.
"You are also a burden now." Xia Yi sat next to the fire and ate the berries handed over by Qiu Ruoyan.
The boy spoke for a moment.
Qiu Ruoyan took out a handful of wild vegetables and cooked them, and the three of them finished eating them together.
Standing up, Xia Yi thought about his plan today: go to the berries bushes to catch pheasants in the morning, and then go to the berries bushes to catch pheasants in the afternoon. In the evening, if you don’t need to use [Properties - Lucky], then another pheasant will come.
It is better not to let the boy know the location of the berries bushes, so the two sides must be separated.
He looked at the boy: "What are your plans for the morning?"
"Go and pick some wild vegetables." The boy replied, "If you see that I have not come back, please look for me in the northwest direction. I must have been blocked by a wolf pack in a tree."
"Okay." Xia Yi agreed.
The boy got on the road first and he walked towards the northwest.
After his figure disappeared, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan went to the southwest together.
When he arrived near the berries bush and let Qiu Ruoyan watch over the surroundings, Xia Yi climbed up a tree and observed the pheasants in the berries bush.
He chose the one on the edge, the fattest one.
After falling down the tree, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan pointed to the pheasant they chose.
Qiu Ruoyan nodded, and she walked around the berry field and climbed onto the tree opposite, giving instructions to Xia Yi.
Xia Yi bent down and slowly approached the pheasant. The berries were dense. After bent down, it was difficult for the pheasant to see Xia Yi, and Xia Yi was also not easy for the pheasant to see. At this time, it was up to Qiu Ruoyan's command.
Xia Yi took three minutes to travel a journey that could be passed in just over ten seconds.
After approaching the berries bushes, Xia Yi was almost lying on the ground.
He raised his head and looked at Qiu Ruoyan. Qiu Ruoyan gestured a fist, indicating that the pheasant was right in front of him.
Grasping the prepared stones, Xia Yi observed carefully through the gaps in the berries bushes.
Soon, he found traces of pheasants.
He quickly got up and he hit the pheasant with a stone.
"Hey——" The pheasant who was still eating berries could not dodge and was knocked to the ground.
The other two pheasants were frightened, and hurriedly spread their wings and flew away.
Xia Yi stepped across the berries bush and picked up the pheasant.
"Gee!" The pheasant struggled, but its struggle was useless.
"Let's go." Xia Yi said to Qiu Ruoyan who came over.
The pheasants on the island are also a little wise. After hearing the screams of their companions being killed, the nearby pheasants will not approach for the next half day.
The two returned to the camp. At this time, about two hours had passed, and there were still two or three hours before noon.
"Go and cook salt." Qiu Ruoyan said that she only cooked a little experimentally last time and had finished eating it.
"Okay." Xia Yi agreed.
The two walked towards the northeast. The campground was closest to the north of the island, but there was a stone cliff in the north and it was impossible to get water. In the northeast, it was a stone beach. It was not as convenient as getting water, but it was also available.
It took three hours to go back and forth.
When Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan came back, the boy was already sitting in the camp, setting fire to wait for the two of them.
"How did you make a fire?" When Xia Yi came to the fire, he looked at the boy in surprise.
"Use a lighter." The boy replied.
Xia Yi touched his pocket, and his lighter was in his pocket: "Where did you get the lighter?"
"The group of people who took the ponytail." The boy's face was calm, as if he had just done something ordinary.
Xia Yi knew that this "take" should be a decent statement of "stealing".
"Anyway, they have a lot of lighters." The boy defended himself, "and I planted a handful of wild vegetables on the road they often walked, and even though they didn't recognize each other, they stepped on it."
"..." Xia Yi imagined the scene where the ponytail man and the art student searched for a circle and couldn't find food, and then stepped on the wild vegetables.
Knowledge is very important, otherwise you will not be able to find what you eat under your feet.
"Is there any convenient way to distinguish wild vegetables?" Xia Yi asked.
"If you eat too much, you will feel it. You will feel it can be eaten at first glance." The boy replied.
Xia Yi said that this method is too high-end and cannot be learned by himself.
Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan ate two fish to make lunch, while the boy continued to eat wild vegetables.
After eating, Xia Yi fed the pheasant with grass roots. At this time, he found that there was a small pit behind the tent, surrounded by branches at the edge of the pit, and there were three little wolves inside.
The little wolf was about two palms the size of a palm, gnawing a piece of meat.
It was the wolf meat thrown away by Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan. The three little wolves fought for each other and did not have the sadness of eating their own relatives at all.
Qiu Ruoyan glanced at him and continued to cook salt.
Xia Yi had nothing to do. He thought about it, picked up a handful of wild vegetables and threw it to the boy: "Go and give it to the art student."
"You're going to give it to someone else?" The boy looked at Xia Yi in shock.
"So let's wait for the vegetables to rot?" Xia Yi asked the boy.
There are a lot of dishes, and Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan do not use wild vegetables as their staple food, so they can't finish them.
The boy glanced at the three pheasants in the circle, and a pile of berries in his bag, and silently closed his mouth. He picked up the wild vegetables and walked towards the art student's camp.
In the evening, Xia Yi and Qiu Ruoyan went to catch another pheasant before the boy came back.
"Why did it take so long?" Xia Yi asked.
"That woman changed the place, I searched for a while before I found her." The boy replied.
Xia Yi nodded, he stood up and waved to the boy: "Let's go."
"What are you doing?" the boy asked.
"Go to take a shower." Xia Yi replied.
"I'll go by myself." The boy took two steps back.
"It's okay, I'm going to wash it too." Xia Yi walked towards the pond.
Qiu Ruoyan stuffed the boy a clay pot and followed him with a clay pot.
