The white pillow woke up. The alertness that was overwhelmed by the sleepiness came back online after a short rest. The first thing she opened her eyes was to confirm the safety of Hua Mu.
Hua Mu is not by her side!
"Miss!"
The white pillow got up quickly, and while expanding the range of the barrier, shouted Hua Mu loudly. Fortunately, she quickly found out where the other party was.
It was getting late, just in time for the high tide of the sea. Hua Mu, holding a skirt in one hand and a half-remaining plastic basin in the other, waded back to the shore.
"Miss!" Bai Zhen saw that she had come back from the sea, her skirt was almost soaked, her heart tightened, she ran to her side, and asked nervously, "What did you do? Are you injured?"
The white pillow spoke a little anxiously, and couldn't help but speak a little louder. Hua Mu angrily shoved the plastic pot into her hand, "Why, so fierce, why don't I go find something to eat."
A dagger and some shells lay in a plastic tub that was cracked and whitened by the sun, and no matter how sluggish the white pillow was, she should know what she was doing.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Miss, I, I don't know why I fell asleep... You can wake me up when you're hungry."
Hua Mupo stepped on his feet and said with disgust: "I don't know why, isn't it just because I haven't slept all the time? What can I do, think I'm a robot."
White pillow was extremely ashamed, and wanted to hold her, but afraid of overstepping the line, he followed her at a loss to explain, "I, I'm fine, you don't have to worry."
Hua Mu raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Who is worried about you? I didn't call you because I could find food myself. Don't think I can't do it without you."
Insidious little people are sweet-bellied swords, and only little fairies like the eldest lady can have a knife-mouthed and tofu-hearted heart.
Bai Zhen always felt that Hua Mu's anger and beatings were her way of caring about people, and she was still sympathetic to the sentinels she didn't like.
Of course, this point cannot be broken, and the lady will be shy.
Bai Zhen was so moved that he stopped arguing with Hua Mu, and only worried: "Miss, is your foot hurt? Shall I carry you back?"
Hua Mu was indeed injured. She slipped while picking shells at Jiaoyan, and she slashed several times on her body, and the pain brought tears to her eyes. It's just that it's too embarrassing to say this, so I'm brave enough to endure it.
How could she be a dignified princess, not even picking some shells
"It's just a minor injury."
On weekdays, even if Hua Mu just coughed, the Duke's Mansion would tremble three times.
"Even if the injury is minor, it will be infected if it is not treated properly. Let me take a look at it for you."
Hua Mu now knew that he would be able to go back soon, but unfortunately, he was dead, and nodded with a half-assistance.
"OK then."
The potion that Bai Zhen carried was used up by Hua Mu as early as the first day, and there was no other medicine for trauma on her body at this time. However, identifying wild herbs is one of the must-have courses for the sentinel, and she will silently write down the locations when she encounters herbs on the way to explore the island on weekdays.
Hua Mu is the same age as a flower, and she has been pampered since she was a child. Her skin is as slippery as tofu, and any injury on it will be very shocking. She fell hard this time. Her right foot, calf, and part of her thigh, elbow and arm were all scratched to varying degrees.
Looking at the white pillow, his eyes were red. Although Hua Mu was also injured when the two were in distress, it was different from this. At that time, the life and death of the two were determined by the sky, and she did her best, and it was fortunate to be able to survive.
And now Hua Mu is injured because of her negligence - she fell asleep so defenselessly!
"Miss..."
Hua Mu endured the shame and was examined by the white pillow for a long time, only to feel that the places she touched and looked at were not only painful, but also itchy. It is said to check the wound, check and check, how can you still lift the skirt
"What are you going to do?" Hua Mu nervously pressed the corner of her skirt.
Bai Zhen endured distress and choked sobbing, and said hoarsely, "I want to see if you are injured anywhere else."
Look at the ghost!
Hua Mu endured the pain and stepped on Bai Zhen's face - she had long wanted to do that!
"No, that's all, you can handle it for me soon!"
Bai Zhen didn't know what he had done wrong, but being stomped on her face by the eldest lady was not annoying, she stammered while covering her face: "Yes, I'm sorry, then I'll look for herbal medicine, and I'll get it right away. Come back, wait a moment."
Hua Mu saw that she was quite agile, her face looked a lot better, and her worries were relieved - after all, she still had to rely on the sentinel!
Compared to when she just landed on the island, Hua Mu can now be alone for a while more calmly. Compared with the daytime, the sea at night is completely different, it seems to be more vast and deep, mysterious and unpredictable.
Hua Mu never dared to look directly at him for too long, for fear that he would fall into deeper despair. But tonight is different. The new moon has become a full moon, and the moonlight is even slightly reddish. It is reflected on the sea surface, which is quite confusing.
If she was with those noble ladies, she felt that she had the leisure to write a poem.
"Ugh… "
Hua Mu sighed softly.
The white pillow came back soon, with a few plants in his hand. Hua Mu guessed that this was probably some kind of herbal medicine, and he was quite ashamed to ask questions.
"what is this?"
Those few plants looked like the most common weeds, with oval leaves and scallops around the leaves. The white pillow seems to have been specially picked, and several plants have bloomed, and the clusters of purple false spikes are very full.
"This is Shan Huoxiang, which can stop bleeding and detoxify."
Hemostasis and detoxification can be very useful in this situation.
Hua Mu immediately showed an open-minded and studious side, and asked for a tree in her hand to examine it carefully.
The white pillow picked the inflorescence and placed it above the wound of Huamu, gently squeezed the pollen, and then rubbed the leaves and gently pressed it on the wound.
"Is Huoxiang the one you eat during heat stroke? Can it stop bleeding?"
Although the white pillow has tried to relax the movement as much as possible, the pain is still unavoidable. Hua Mu was so in pain that she wanted to cry, but she didn't want Bai Zhen to see her weak side again, so she was anxious to find a topic to distract her attention.
After all, she was already embarrassed enough today, and she must not be more embarrassed.
Bai Zhen only thought that Hua Mu was curious, and while bowing her head to help her apply the medicine, she explained casually: "Patchouli is used for heatstroke, and the two have different functions."
"Oh... You know quite a lot. Are there any other herbs besides this island?"
In just a dozen days, someone will come to rescue them, but in a place like this, who knows what other accidents will happen, Hua Mu thinks it would be good to learn more. After all, people are unlucky enough to think of whales as ships!
"If you're interested, I can bring some back to you."
Hua Mu really felt that Bai Zhen was stupid. How could she possibly be interested in herbal medicine? Isn't life forced
"It doesn't have to be special. When you go looking for water, you can pick some up when you see it... Oh, be gentle."
Hua Mu still couldn't hold back, and when the white pillow pressed the herb on her calf, she groaned.
The white pillow immediately eased his strength, but had to remind: "Miss, the herbs are a little difficult to apply."
The crushed leaves weren't moist enough, so she didn't apply it for a long time.
"You are so stupid, can't you chew?"
She just said that she knows a lot, even she knows how to do it, how can she be so dumb!
"But are you alright..."
Bai Zhen was afraid that if he chewed it, he would be disliked by Hua Mu.
Hua Mu felt that sooner or later, he would be pissed off by this sentinel! People and artificial respiration have been done, do you still dislike her saliva on the skin now
"Stop talking nonsense, and I'll kick you."
Although the white pillow didn't think that being kicked by the eldest lady was a threat, she still kept her mouth shut.
After applying the herbs, White Pillow treated the shellfish a little, and then simmered it with charcoal and fed it to Huamu.
These shellfish cling to the crevices of the reef, and picking them up sounds easy, but it's actually quite laborious. Naturally, Hua Mu couldn't compare to the white pillow, and after two hours of tossing, the amount she picked up was less than one-third of the usual amount. Don't talk about white pillows, even she can't eat enough.
But when Bai Zhen wanted to feed her all the food, Hua Mu justly refused.
"I'm a little tired of eating, you eat the rest."
The white pillow was immediately worried.
"Miss, are you tired of eating? Is there anything else you want to eat? I'll go see if there's any lobster nearby tomorrow, or do you want to eat octopus?"
Judging from the experience of these days, whether it is lobster or octopus, it is something that is hard to come by. If the white pillow is really looking for it, I don't know how much work it will take.
The longer Hua Mu stayed with her, the more she felt that this sentinel was unreliable and didn't know the priorities at all.
"We're almost out of water, so what kind of lobster and octopus are we going to eat? If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, I want to eat meat. When you look for water, grab something by the way. Seabirds like last time are also fine. "
"But it's not like you don't eat..."
Hua Mu patted her head angrily, "Can I eat now if I want to eat it?"
That is certainly possible.
"Okay, then I'll go catch a seabird tomorrow."
"Well... I'll take it back after I've dealt with it. I also need banana leaves and some spices. You can look for some plants like mountain ginger, fennel, calamus, or thyme... Well, forget it, I'll go with you."
"But you were hurt today..."
But don't say it, she is already miserable and humiliating enough today, and she is still counting on her face tomorrow.
"No objection!"
"Yes… "
Fortunately, the white pillow is obedient enough, except that she doesn't know how to work around some issues related to her safety, she can be considered obedient at other times.
Hua Mu counted the water left by the two of them before going to bed, and it was probably less than 7L. Even if the distillation device can be completed tomorrow, the fresh water it produces alone is far from enough to support two people drinking for more than ten days.
The main task after the white pillow is still to find water sources, and she has to start thinking about how to obtain fresh water by other means.
No matter how difficult it is now, it doesn't matter, as long as they survive these ten days, they will be able to go back.
The author has something to say: The eldest lady justly (duplicatively) refused to eat.
Seeing the energetic young lady, she couldn't help but want to bully her.
Except for the whistle-blower part, I try not to be rude, and there will probably be some popular science, so you can take a look.
