Looking around, I saw a vast ocean with waves rippling everywhere, but not a single sail was visible.
Zhu Ping'an supported his weak body, looked at the vast ocean, and could only complain that the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy was well implemented. Ever since Taizu ordered the implementation of the maritime ban to prevent the remnants of coastal warlords and pirates from harassing the sea, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban has become more and more severe. Up to now, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban is not just as simple as not allowing a single sail to enter the sea. Even the coastal residents have moved inland, not to mention the islands.
The navy's rescue ship probably missed this island and perhaps never thought of coming here at all. After all, due to the strong winds and huge waves last night, the three of them had no idea how many miles away from the scene of the incident they had encountered.
The ban on fishing boats has resulted in no fishing boats coming here to fish. If you are caught while fishing, it is a serious crime in Shatou, and few fishermen dare to joke with their own heads.
Moreover, it seems that pirates do not favor this island. It is probably because there is no good port for pirates. There are many reefs and reefs in the nearby waters, which are not suitable for mooring ships. In addition, there are many pirates along the coast that are more suitable for bases than this one, so there is no need to choose this island.
This is such a big island, and it can be said that there are really few people here. It is certain that there are only three of us here at the moment: myself, Li Shu, and Huaer.
Looking at Li Shu, whose face and lips were pale due to blood loss, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel a strange emotion in his heart...
When bandaging Li Shu's wound just now, Zhu Ping'an felt his scalp tingling when he saw the hideous wound on her wrist. He really didn't know how this girl could do such a thing. Such a delicate young lady could actually cut her wrist with a shell and feed her own blood. It was impossible for Zhu Ping'an to have no thoughts in his mind.
Fortunately, I woke up early and Li Shu didn’t bleed too much, otherwise, in this uninhabited island, I would have been helpless.
Fortunately, Li Shu cut a vein, otherwise it would be difficult to stop the bleeding. Now after cleaning and bandaging Li Shu's wrist, we just need to be careful not to get infected.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would be in great danger this time." After bandaging Li Shu's wound, Zhu Pingan looked into Li Shu's eyes and said sincerely.
"I'm not heartless..." Li Shu turned her face away, pouted her lips, and said proudly.
Just when Li Shu turned her head away, the maid Baozi came running from the island crying again. Seeing Zhu Pingan wake up, the girl burst into laughter again, but when she thought about not finding food on the island, she couldn't help crying again out of guilt.
"Miss, son-in-law. Wuuwuwu... I'm useless. I can't find anything to eat. Wuuwu..."
I haven't eaten anything since last night. My son-in-law is weak and needs food. My young lady has just lost so much blood and also needs food. But I can't find anything. The guilty little maidservant has tears streaming down her face.
Besides this, Baozi had other worries. She had not found any water just now, and now she had not found any food. If there was no water or food on the island, she would die of thirst and hunger.
After finally escaping death in the ocean, am I going to die a slow death on this island
When the little maid Baozi thought of this problem, she cried even harder.
For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat desperate.
Amid the crying of Baozi's maid, Li Shu curled her lips slightly, feeling a little disappointed. If someone said that there was nothing to eat on this lush island, Li Shu would not believe it. It was just that on this uninhabited island, they were not able to tell the difference between grains, so it was almost difficult for them to find food.
As if she was hungry, Li Shu's face gradually became uneasy.
"Haha, live by the mountain, eat from the mountain; live by the water, eat from the water. How can there be a lack of food on such a big island?" Zhu Pingan smiled weakly.
Is there anything to eat
Upon hearing this, the little maid Baozi stopped crying and blinked her big red eyes at Zhu Ping'an. After a second, she sobbed again and said, "I looked everywhere, but I didn't see any food..."
"How can there be no food? I can see the food now." Zhu Ping'an looked at the little maid Baozi and said jokingly.
"I can see it now. Where is it?" Upon hearing this, the chubby little maid looked around involuntarily, but there was nothing but the slope, the sea, flowers and plants.
So, the little maid Baozi looked at Zhu Ping'an with some suspicion, "No, Master."
"Yes." Zhu Ping'an replied jokingly, his eyes always looking at the little maid Baozi.
Yes, I have
The little maid Baozi looked around again, but still didn't see any food. Then she noticed that her brother-in-law's eyes were on her. Then the little maid Baozi seemed to suddenly come to her senses, as if she thought of something scary. She shivered and her face turned pale with fright. She kept shaking her face and was so nervous that she was a little incoherent.
"No, Hua'er is not delicious, master, please don't eat me. Hua'er hasn't taken a bath for several days, wuwu..." The little maid Baozi pouted and started crying again.
Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but laugh. His laughter pulled at his internal injuries, causing Zhu Ping'an to cough.
"Why are you teasing her..." Li Shu rolled her eyes at Zhu Ping'an.
"I wasn't teasing her, she really saw something to eat." Zhu Ping'an spread his hands, his face full of confidence.
Not to mention how many episodes of Bear Grylls' wilderness survival show he watched in modern times, as a foodie, he researched a lot of rural delicacies after the show was broadcast; even after arriving in Daming Dynasty, at the Woniu Mountain in Xiahe Village, Zhu Ping'an followed his father and elder brother into the mountains and accumulated a lot of experience in discovering food in the wild.
Let’s put it this way, although Zhu Ping’an is not as good as Bear Grylls, a man who stands at the top of the food chain, he can live a comfortable life in the wilderness.
Where is the food
Li Shu followed Zhu Ping'an's gaze and looked at the weeds and flowers on the grass and slopes. The only one who could eat them was Baozi, the little maid. She couldn't help but look at Zhu Ping'an with a reproachful look.
"Son-in-law, I don't taste good..." The little maid Baozi was so scared that she hid behind Li Shu, looking at Zhu Ping'an with grievance.
Zhu Ping'an pulled up the corners of his mouth to smile, dragged his weak body forward to the place where Baozi, the little maid, had just stood, then bent down, reached out to pluck a flower from a cluster of bright red flowers blooming on the grass, pulled out the stamen inside, put it to his mouth and blew on it, then put the red flower into his mouth and began to chew it.
Eat...eat flowers? Li Shu and the maid Baozi were both shocked.
"This is azalea, also known as rhododendron. Except for the yellow and white flowers, the others can be eaten raw, and they taste sweet and sour. For the chieftains of Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest of our Ming Dynasty, this azalea is a common vegetable they eat. Drinking it for a long time can make your skin tender and your complexion rosy, and it has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin." Zhu Ping'an explained while chewing.
"Beauty and skin care?" Li Shu and the maid Baozi were a little disdainful at first. They would never eat flowers. But after hearing Zhu Ping'an say that drinking it for a long time can make the skin delicate and beautify the skin, the two girls' eyes lit up.
Whether in modern times or ancient times, the appeal of the four words "beauty and skin care" to girls is immeasurable.
"Before eating, it is important to remove the stamens and then blow on it like this. This can remove the poison left by insects when they crawl over the flowers." Zhu Ping'an said as he plucked another flower and demonstrated.
