When it got dark and the tide began to rise, Wang Ping finally ate the steamed fish with honey that he had been longing for.
But to be honest, I don't know if I did it wrong, but after pouring honey on it, the fishy smell was a bit strong and it didn't taste good. But it looked very beautiful, and the fans in the live broadcast room were drooling.
This is also a common problem with many delicacies. The better they look, the more average they taste.
Instead, it was Han the hero who instigated Gu Laosan to ask for a piece of beeswax from Wang Ping, and mixed it with salt and crushed Trichosanthes leaves. The mixture turned into a green mess, which looked a bit disgusting, but he used it to dip conch meat, which tasted very sweet.
"I suddenly lost my appetite for dinner."
“It’s a mistake to watch the live broadcast at this time”
"I told my wife to stop cooking and now I'm driving out to the seafood restaurant"
“This is not survival on a deserted island, this is clearly an island on the tip of your tongue”
"It seems that the boss has done a good thing. At least he has added a dish for everyone."
"The flat-headed brother is willing to share the honey he got? I am not well educated, please don't lie to me."
"The person above doesn't understand, right? This is a common trick used by the eldest brother. He tricked the third brother last time, but he also used honey to coax him back in the end."
"Gu Lao San still needs to be coaxed. As soon as the eldest brother shows his claws, he becomes timid."
"Speaking of honey, I kind of miss Xiao Si."
Because the island did not provide equipment for everyone, no one knew the dynamics of the barrage in the live broadcast room. If he could see it, Gu Lang would definitely jump up and down. Who said that I was a coward? It was obviously not a fight with someone... Badger, okay
Because the fish was too fishy, no one wanted to eat it, and it all went into the stomach of a badger. After everyone finished their dinner hastily, they started to work again under the light of the campfire. After all, the camps on the beach had been evacuated, and if they didn't build a shelter tonight, they would have to sleep in the open air.
Because of the lack of light, and in order to avoid being trampled to death by the crowds, Wang Ping did not go over to help this time. Instead, he took a piece of beeswax and ran to the woods early, intending to give his "landlord" a small gift.
Everyone was used to the badger going into the woods at night, but Gu Laosan noticed where he was going and followed him to tell him not to bother the bees again.
Coming to the red nan tree where he had "stayed overnight", the badger hooked the bark and climbed out of the tree hole again. Looking inside through the hole, he saw the confused woodpecker with a "bird face" inside.
You know, this brown-feathered woodpecker hid nearby for a whole day. When it was dark and the badger didn't show up again, it dared to come back and clean up the "bird bed" that was flattened by the badger. As soon as it finished cleaning, it saw the familiar night vision eyes outside the cave.
"Hey, you're home!"
Wang Ping smiled and crawled into the tree hole unconsciously.
"kee~!"
An unwilling cry was heard again in the tree hole.
Ten minutes later, Wang Ping lay comfortably in the nest that had been remade by a bird, and his eyelids began to droop. In the corner beside the tree hole, a woodpecker took a tentative bite of the beeswax in front of it, and a white bee larva rolled out of it.
The piece of beeswax that Wang Ping picked was where the queen bee laid her eggs. It was also the area where the royal jelly was said to be stored. Seeing the larvae that had rolled into the tree hole squirmed, a woodpecker subconsciously took a bite, picked up the larvae, and swallowed it into its mouth.
"kee?"
As soon as the larvae entered its stomach, one of the birds was stunned for a moment, and then its eyes became brighter and brighter, staring at the small piece of beeswax.
For some reason, as midnight approached, the island suddenly became stuffy, as if the air pressure had dropped. The originally clear night sky suddenly became gloomy, and thick clouds obscured the starry sky, making the forest even darker.
Gu Laosan, who was unanimously pushed out by everyone to keep watch, sat on the sand beside the campfire, yawned violently, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, then felt inexplicably irritated, so he stood up and strolled around the campfire.
On one side of the campfire, in a shack that had just been built less than an hour ago, everyone was still awake and chatting idly.
Because of the weather, both the roof and the partition walls were hastily covered, and a straw mat was hung at the door to block it. I was worried about the draft, but tonight there was not only no wind, but the temperature seemed a bit high.
"Sister Mengdie, do you feel a little hot?"
In the cubicle on the girls' side, Hu Li asked in a low voice.
“Hmm…” Li Mengdie, who was dozing with her eyes closed, responded softly.
"How about..." The little fox frowned and touched the sticky sweat on his body, and whispered: "Let's go take a shower?"
Li Mengdie didn't want to pay attention to her at first. She had been weaving straw mats, hiding from bees, and going to the sea all day, which had exhausted her. But now that Hu Li said that, she suddenly felt uncomfortable. It seemed that countless small insects were crawling on her skin, making her feel itchy all over, and she wanted to take a bath urgently.
This was partly due to sweating, but more importantly it was because I had just taken a dip in the sea during the day and got some strange things on my body.
Thinking of what happened during the day, Li Mengdie suddenly lost her mood and said with a pout, "Forget it. It's not good to soak in sea water for too long. The salt frost can't be wiped off at all."
"Sister Mengdie~"
The little fox hugged Li Mengdie's shoulders, leaned close to her ear, and said seductively: "We don't have to wash with sea water. There is fresh water on this island!"
“This…” After saying this, Li Mengdie suddenly opened her eyes and became interested.
"cough!"
In the other cubicle where the two were less than a meter apart, Ding Yi couldn't help but cough. Although eavesdropping on the girls' private conversations was a bit vulgar, if he didn't speak up, maybe everyone would have to drink the bath water of these two people tomorrow.
"That... little fox, Mengdie..." Ding Yi said awkwardly through a row of branches, "I understand your desire to take a bath, but the only water source we have right now is not running water..."
"ah!"
Two low cries were heard from next door, mixed with the little fox's muttering of "I was heard". Someone's face turned red and he felt inexplicably guilty.
"hey-hey… "
"Ha ha… "
On the other side, Han Daxia and Yi Jiuyang couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was unclear whether they were laughing at Ding Yi or the two girls.
Ding Yi rolled his eyes in the dark, felt his face getting hot, and kicked Yi Jiuyang who was sleeping next to him. Then someone laughed even louder.
Next door, Hu Li raised his voice and angrily cursed: "Old Han, what are you laughing at! You are such an old fool!"
"Hey!" Han Daxia, who was lying in the easternmost compartment with Yang Xu, shouted in dissatisfaction: "I'm just a little older, how can I be old? Don't you want to know how to take a bath without dirtying the water source?"
"Huh?" Li Mengdie exclaimed in surprise.
Hu Li's voice also weakened. After a while, he said coquettishly: "Uncle~~Oppa~~Please continue!"
"Depend on!"
Four boys in a row shuddered at the same time and got goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Old Han, damn it, hurry up and tell me!" Ding Yi said angrily, rubbing his arms like Popeye.
"Okay, okay!" Hero Han couldn't help it anymore and said as if begging for mercy: "Why don't you two take the pot over there and bring the water to wash nearby? There's no one in the woods anyway, so you two can help each other water the trees and think of it as a shower."
"Emm..."
The shack fell silent again. After a while, Gu Lang, who had been walking around outside for a few laps, saw the two girls lift the curtain and come out.
