"Great talent, can you tell what I wrote?"

Li Shu's question left Zhu Ping'an speechless. How could I tell what you wrote on such a tragic and unbearable circle picture? The only thing I could think of was "draw a circle to curse you", but it was impossible for the girl from Daming to know this.

"You haven't woken up yet?"

Zhu Ping'an looked at the circles Li Shu drew on the ground for two seconds, then raised his head to glance at Li Shu, who had a dazed look in her eyes, and said something.

"You're not asleep!" Li Shu said angrily, and then rolled her eyes. "You can't even understand this, you're such a blockhead!"

“It’s just a bunch of circles…” Zhu Ping’an touched his chin.

"What do you mean it's just a bunch of circles?" Li Shu bared her fangs at Zhu Ping'an angrily, "You're obviously the one who's stupid enough not to understand it!!! You still call me a genius? I think you should just be called a blockhead!"

"Then what do you say it is?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly. He was somewhat accustomed to Li Shu's spoiled daughter's temper.

"I... hum..." Li Shu's cheeks flushed slightly, and then she snorted vigorously, turning her head away and ignoring Zhu Ping'an, "I won't tell you!"

She really has a big lady's temper...

Zhu Ping'an pulled the corner of his lips slightly, then turned his gaze to the sea in the distance. This time, all the books and classics he brought with him were lost in the sea, but fortunately, his memory was very good, and those books were already in his mind, so it was not a big loss. I just don't know how long I will stay on this island.

After practicing calligraphy for a while, Zhu Ping'an stopped. It was now around three o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to stock up some dry firewood and food before sunset.

Zhu Pingan was going to go out alone, leaving Li Shu in the cave to watch over the sleeping maid Baozi, but Li Shu thought it was boring to stay in the cave and wanted to go out with him. Zhu Pingan thought about it and agreed, adding some dry firewood to the fire pit to make the flames stronger, so that even if there were any wild animals in the mountains, they would not dare to enter the cave.

Zhu Pingan led Li Shu out of the cave and first picked up some slightly damp dry firewood nearby. There is no wet firewood for a big fire. It doesn't matter if it's a little damp. They tied the firewood up with creeping grass. Zhu Pingan carried a large bundle and Li Shu carried a small bundle and returned to the cave.

The little maid Baozi was still sleeping soundly. Before coming out, Zhu Ping'an added some dry firewood to the fire.

If it weren't for the life-threatening situation and being trapped on an isolated island. In fact, it's not bad to be on this island, with abundant resources, beautiful scenery, and fresh air that makes people intoxicated. Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu picked a lot of wild fruits at the foot of the mountain, including wild plums, wild strawberries, wild apples, etc. They also found a few fist-sized melons with traces of being pecked by birds, so they can be eaten with confidence.

Zhu Ping'an also caught several palm-sized crucian carps in a water bubble connected to a small stream at the foot of the mountain. He pierced the fish's gills with a branch and brought them back.

Before Zhu Pingan and Li Shu reached the cave, they heard the little maid Baozi crying uncontrollably from inside the cave, as if she was abandoned by the whole world, sobbing and choking, as if she couldn't breathe.

What's going on

Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu quickened their pace and entered the cave, and then they saw the chubby little maid with messy hair, snot and tears.

"Wuwuwu... Miss, son-in-law? Wuwuwu... I thought you thought I was a burden and didn't want me anymore, wuwuwu..."

When the maid Baozi saw Li Shu and Zhu Ping'an, she was overjoyed and went to hug Li Shu with tears and snot. Li Shu looked at the snot and tears on the maid's face with disdain. She stretched out her delicate hand and skillfully flicked the maid's forehead to stop her.

The chubby little maid touched her slightly aching forehead, narrowed her eyes and burst into laughter as if she had received a reward.

Well

Who doesn't want you anymore.

This girl thinks a lot. Zhu Pingan smiled slightly and put the things in his hand in the cave.

In the evening, the wind started to blow outside and a whistling sound could be heard outside the cave. Zhu Ping'an and the other two were extremely grateful that they had found this cave, otherwise the wind outside would have been enough for them to bear tonight.

The small cave blocked the cool breeze. Three people sat around the fire, each holding a thick willow branch with a crucian carp stuck on it. There were also cleaned wild fruits lying on the loquat leaves beside them.

Among the three, Li Shu has the best craftsmanship.

In her hands, crucian carp is always roasted to perfection, with crispy skin and tender meat. She is also thoughtful enough to squeeze the juice from wild fruits and spread it on the roasted fish, which makes the color and taste of the roasted fish even more tempting.

Looking at the grilled fish in Li Shu's hand, Zhu Pingan felt that the grilled fish he had grilled himself, which was a little black, was simply unpalatable.

"I don't know if it's cooked, Zhu Ping'an, please help me taste it."

Li Shu handed the grilled fish with crispy skin, tender meat and delicious taste to Zhu Ping'an. Her cheeks flushed and she glanced at Zhu Ping'an with her watery eyes, acting as if she didn't know whether the fish was cooked or not.

Just what I wanted.

Zhu Ping'an took the grilled fish without any hesitation, said "OK", then blew on it and took a bite.

The fish skin is crispy, the fish meat is tender, fragrant but not fishy, and has a long aftertaste... ...

"It's done."

Zhu Ping'an savored the dish for a while before reluctantly handing the grilled fish back to Li Shu.

"You're drooling over it." Li Shu looked at it with disdain and shook her head, "Disgusting, just eat it all. It's good as long as it's cooked. I'll know how long to bake the next one."

It was just what he wanted. Zhu Ping'an took the grilled fish back and started to eat it happily.

Next Steps

Li Shu followed the same method and grilled the biggest fish. Every part of it was grilled perfectly, with more juice. It was better and more fragrant than the previous fish, except for one spot that seemed to have been accidentally grilled a little black, about the size of a fingernail. Li Shu then became disgusted with it and gave the fish to Zhu Ping'an.

Li Shu grilled the third fish until she was satisfied.

At night, the wind outside was even louder, and the three people who had eaten and drunk enough around the fire pit felt that this cave was even better. After dinner, they listened to Zhu Ping'an's stories, and Li Shu and Baozi, the little maid, simply washed up and went to rest on the straw mat with a curtain made of creeping grass.

Therefore, as he was not familiar with the island, Zhu Ping'an did not go to bed immediately, but instead kept watch while reciting by the fire.

In addition to the sound of the wind, there were sometimes calls of unknown animals outside the cave, but they didn't sound like dangerous animals. Zhu Ping'an felt a little relieved. When it was almost midnight, Zhu Ping'an added some firewood to the fire pit, narrowed the vent of the fire pit, and prepared to sleep on the grass mat.

"Zhu... Zhu Ping'an, I need to go change my clothes. You... you can go with me. Hua'er has fallen asleep and won't wake up no matter how I call her."

At this time, Li Shu got up from their straw mat, blushed, and came to Zhu Pingan shyly, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

It turned out that Li Shu wanted to go to the bathroom, but she was afraid. The maidservant Baozi fell asleep again and couldn't be woken up. It was pitch black outside now, the wind was blowing like a ghost, and there were unknown animals calling from time to time. It was too scary. As for the cave... ... How can you expect a girl to do that

The little maid Baozi couldn't be woken up, and Li Shu didn't dare to go outside the cave alone, so she had to call Zhu Pingan.

"Uh..." Zhu Ping'an was a little doubtful about his ears.

"Is it okay?" Li Shu urged with a red face. When Zhu Pingan looked over, she couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, as if she couldn't hold it anymore...

"Of course." Zhu Ping'an looked at Li Shu and nodded.

Soon, the two arrived outside the cave. In fact, it was not far, just a few meters in front of the cave. Li Shu didn't dare to go any further.

"You... just stand there, turn around and close your eyes." Li Shu said shyly.

understand

Zhu Ping'an did as he was told.

"You... you should also cover your ears." Li Shu added after Zhu Ping'an turned around.

"Why?" Turning around is understandable, but what is the purpose of covering his ears? Zhu Pingan turned his head in confusion.

"You... you will hear..." Li Shu stomped her feet, her face so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out.

Well

Okay, Zhu Ping'an turned around again, closed his eyes, and covered his ears with his hands.

There were rustling sounds and noisy chattering sounds.

A minute later, Li Shu turned her head and found that Zhu Ping'an was still covering his ears with his back to her. She rolled her eyes. What a fool! She gently packed her clothes, then picked up a branch and wrote an almost invisible small calligraphy on the edge of the circle she drew at noon:

"Circle Words"

I want to express my love but I don’t know where to do it, so I draw a circle instead.

The words are outside the circle, but the heart is inside the circle. The single circle is me, and the double circle is you. You have me in your heart, and I have you in my heart.

The moon will be full when it is waning, and will be waning when it is full. A full circle is reunion, and a half circle is separation.

I circle you closely, you must know my intention closely. There is still countless lovesickness, I circle you all the way to the end.
