Huamu has been popularized by friends about the benefits of Miswak, because its milky secretions have the effect of sterilizing and refreshing breath, and even toothpaste can be saved. It's just that for her, because she doesn't pursue the so-called pure natural state of life, there is no need to deliberately abandon the convenience brought by industrial civilization, and she has never tried it so far.
Recalling these things, Hua Mu couldn't help but feel resentment.
Why does it happen to someone like her who is inseparable from modern technology? Shouldn't those aristocratic ladies come to live on this island for a few months every day when they are full and have nothing to do
It is always a good thing to find alternatives to toothbrush and toothpaste, and Hua Mu cut a dozen white pillows and put them in his pocket on the spot. The two shared the few lotus mists they had just picked, and temporarily padded their stomachs.
The two want to solve lunch here, and of course they have to make another fire. White pillow collected some dead branches and hay nearby, and Hua Mu squatted aside to watch her use the flint and steel.
Although it's not the first time I've seen it, Hua Mu still feels pleasantly surprised every time I see sparks from the white pillow ignite the hay.
The spark stick is only ten centimeters long, and it is painted black. Every time you use it, you need to scrape off a layer of oxide layer on the surface.
Hua Mu still doesn't understand why the white pillow is carrying such a thing. Although it is really useful now, it is not as convenient to bring a lighter or even a match in normal times, right
The white pillow lowered his head and blew the sparks on the hay, looking attentive, not even noticing that his face was stained with grass ash.
The sentinel had been exposed to the wind and sun for more than ten days, and the skin that was not too dark had completely turned into a wheat color. People also look leaner, presumably because of lack of food. But her dark pupils were sharper than usual, and she looked like she was always on alert.
No matter how Hua Mu didn't want to see the sentinel, at this time, it was inevitable to rely on her from the bottom of his heart.
To be honest, kinda handsome.
It's not the appearance of the white pillow, but the reliability shown in all aspects makes Hua Mu feel a little handsome.
But once such a thought popped up in his heart, Hua Mu would immediately become alert again.
This must be the so-called drawbridge effect, she has experienced it several times! Experiencing danger, being saved by life, and relying on each other, no matter which one is taken out alone is enough to cause a surge of adrenalin.
So I feel that my heart is beating faster, I feel that the white pillow is more pleasing to the eye, and I feel that the sentinel is pretty cute, all of which are illusions!
Hua Mu looked away from the beautiful arm muscles of the white pillow.
Since it is the suspension bridge effect, she must not be the only one who will have this feeling. If the big stupid white pillow misunderstands something and has bad thoughts, what can she do
The fire was soon started.
"Miss, I'll go to the beach to have a look, you can wait here."
The field of vision here is wide, and there is no danger in the vicinity for the time being.
"Um… "
Hua Mu tried her best to appear indifferent because of her wild thoughts just now, but she was a little uneasy in her heart. Looking at the back of the sentinel gradually receding, the thoughts in his mind gradually became confused.
She remembered that the white pillow was twenty-four years old. If a sentinel of this age did not have a dedicated guide, the biggest possibility was that the matching rate was not enough. Although it is now divided into inner towers and outer towers, there are still many rules in the circle of sentinels and guides.
Whether it is a sentinel or a guide, almost immediately after reaching adulthood, they start looking for suitable candidates, and her father's anxiety is actually related to tradition.
Sentinels are much more unstable than guides, and so tend to be more eager to find a mate. Sentinels from poor families mostly choose to enter the inner tower to serve the army. The main reason is that the tower will not only provide free video clips and comfort services from public guides, but also provide blind date services for sentinels in need.
Did the white pillow go on a blind date
It's not the first time that Hua Mu has thought about this issue. Every time White Pillow returns to the tower to debrief, she will think about it again.
The female sentinel's preference is naturally male guides, but there is nothing wrong with female guides if they are not so obsessed with gender and only consider from the point of view of the sentinel. Considering that the scarcity of male guides is even greater than that of female sentinels, perhaps the white pillow has already met quite a few female guides!
The Sentinels of Neta started dating at the age of eighteen, and they had not found a partner at the age of twenty-four. The circle of sentinels in their own country was so large, and there were few precedents for Neta soldiers to combine with foreigners, such as white pillows. In the case, basically, it is not only the old and the young who can only be matched by the orphans.
Hua Mu once again had a strong sense of crisis about her situation.
It's fine if it doesn't match, but her physique... is too dangerous!
The white pillow did not go to the sea this time. There is a fringing reef on the southern side of the beach, and some areas are exposed after the low tide. The white pillow just wandered around a few times, and found a lot of food in the puddle.
In addition to a few perch fish, she also picked up a lot of oysters and a few sea urchins, which can be said to be full of rewards.
The resources here are indeed much richer than the coast where the two landed, and a large group of marine life inhabits a large coral reef. If you move here, at least you can get food a lot easier. But Bai Zhen could see that Hua Mu didn't have such an idea, so he had to temporarily put this idea in his heart.
She handled a few fish by the sea, then put on her trousers and shoes and returned to Hua Mu's resting place. The other party seemed to be thinking about something and didn't notice that she had come back.
"Miss?"
In Bai Zhen's eyes, Hua Mu's state of the past two days is indeed not very good. If she hadn't encountered a lot of good things today, she would probably have begun to worry about whether Hua Mu would be depressed.
"Ah? What, what?"
Hua Mu looked a little flustered, her eyes wandering and she didn't dare to look at the white pillow.
Bai Zhen remembered that Hua Mu liked sea urchin very much, and she hurriedly offered delicious food, hoping to soothe her recently devastated soul.
"Miss, I caught a few sea urchins. Do you want to make sashimi or cooked?"
The sea urchins are also delicious when they are opened and eaten, and White Pillow really doesn't want to spoil them with his poor cooking skills.
"Then, let's get stabbed."
Hua Mu seems to think so too.
White pillow put fish and oysters on banana leaves first, and opened sea urchins for flowers.
April and May are the most delicious time for horse manure.
Hua Mu ate one and another.
This is life!
Hua Mu was so excited that she almost cried.
Sure enough, the most soul-saving thing in the world is food. No matter what kind of difficult situation you are in, as long as you eat well, you will not despair!
Hua Mu put the sea urchin in her mouth, almost reluctant to swallow it, just waiting for it to slowly melt and slip into her throat.
"One more, one more."
The white pillows only picked up four in total, because Hua Mu told her yesterday that she didn't specifically look for them. Seeing her happy face at this time, she couldn't help but regret it.
She opened the third sea urchin with a dagger, carefully picked out the radial gonads inside and handed it to Hua Mu.
Hua Mu took it and ate it by herself before, but this time, she couldn't wait to directly suck the yellow sea urchin on her fingers. Because the sea urchin yellow was too soft, and the white pillow was stained a lot on the hands, Hua Mu looked at it as a waste, and could not wait to lick it all into his mouth.
The noble girl's tender and bright red lips gently rubbed against the sentinel's rough and slender fingers, which was softer than the sea urchin yellow.
Bai Zhen felt his heart numb, the blood seemed to surge up suddenly, and his face suddenly flushed red. She was awakened as a sentinel when she was twelve years old, entered the tower for twelve years, and performed tasks alone for eight years. She has also been the guard of Hua Mu for five years. During this period, she has experienced many life and death difficulties, but there has never been a time like today The body becomes weak and the hands become weak.
She didn't quite understand what was wrong with herself, only shame and self-assertion were so strong.
Hua Mu pursed her lips and showed a satisfied look, "You can eat the rest, um, it's delicious."
In normal times, Bai Zhen would have thought of letting it go to Hua Mu, but at this moment, because of her confusion, she didn't react to give it up.
As the guard of the royal family, the treatment of the white pillow is naturally not bad. In addition, he often attends banquets with Hua Mu, and he eats no less than the other party. It's just that she doesn't know how to enjoy herself, especially when it comes to eating, she mostly eats as soon as she eats, and has never had any special feelings.
But today's sea urchin really gave her a taste that she had never experienced before.
Creamy texture, sweet taste, and…
Bai Zhen couldn't help licking his fingers, and his eyes subconsciously swept to Hua Mu's pink lips.
No wonder the eldest miss is so unfulfilled, it turns out to be really delicious.
The sentinel was determined to pick up a few sea urchins for Hua Mu every day after that.
Once tasted delicious, Hua Mu couldn't stand these rough and rude cooking methods. She saw that the oysters and fish had not been completely processed, and she remembered her previous search for spices.
"White pillow, put some wild mint in the belly of the fish," she thought for a while, then took out a fruit that looked a bit like a lime from her pocket, "Wrap it in a banana leaf and bake it, and sprinkle some lemon juice after it's ripe. ."
This was found by the two of them around the coconut grove. There were about seven or eight trees, and the fruit was lush. It looks like a scaled-down version of a lime, only the size of a kumquat, and it exudes the unique aroma of Rutaceae. The white pillow tasted a little, and the taste was extremely sour, so the two of them only picked a few.
Hua Mu originally wanted to use it to soak it in water, but now I think about it, lemon juice also has the effect of removing fishy smell.
Although there is still a long way to go with the cooking she expected, things cannot be done overnight. The two have other things to do in the afternoon, so they can only bear it for the time being.
What's more, she had already tasted the delicious food beforehand.
The white pillows did everything, and on the thirteenth day of their exile on the island, the two finally tasted their first truly cooked food.
There may be many biological differences between humans and animals, but Hua Mu believes that the ability to make natural ingredients delicious is what makes humans greater than animals.
The author has something to say: Hua Mu: I just said she coveted me!
It's okay to fantasize about the Sentinel's fantasies about yourself every day. Do you know the Pygmalion effect
The only reason humans are greater than animals is human arrogance.
