Because the main meal was coconut crabs, White Pillow put all the dozen hermit crabs caught before, and only cooked Wutang snakehead fish soup with coconut shells.
Hua Mu sat sulking for a while, looked up at the tired scars on Bai Zhen's body, and was a little out of breath.
Thinking that when she made a hole in her mouth, she rushed to find herbs, why did she take it so seriously when it came to herself
She watched for a while, but in the end she couldn't hold back and kicked the white pillow with her toes.
"Hey."
"What's the matter, miss?"
"Didn't you pick that kind of Huoxiang before? I'll deal with it later... If you are like this, how dare I let you carry it."
White pillow thinks what she said makes sense, "Okay, I'll make lunch first. Miss, you have some fish soup."
Wutang snakehead is not big, but the meat is very thick, and the soup is very delicious. The white pillow only added a little ginger to remove the fishy smell, and Hua Mu still felt that her cooking skills had improved a lot.
Hua Mu was drinking fish soup while watching her roast the crab claw, and suddenly remembered that she was smashing fruit before.
That was her original purpose!
"Miss?"
Seeing that Hua Mu suddenly stood up and ran towards the mangrove forest, Bai Zhen hurriedly followed.
"Miss, what's the matter with you?"
Hua Mu walked slowly, and simply pulled the white pillow to pick it up.
"I got some fruit, you can see what you can eat."
Before the white pillow, I saw that the leaves and branches here are not normal, but I didn't expect it to be Hua Mu's masterpiece.
"This looks so cute, surely you can eat it?"
Hua Mu picked up a loquat-sized fruit with an orange-yellow wooden shell, which looked very pleasing.
The white pillow was startled, and hurriedly slapped the fruit in her hand.
"Miss, you didn't eat this, did you? This is sea mangosteen, which is highly poisonous."
Hua Mu was startled when he heard that it was highly poisonous, but when he saw Bai Zhen treating himself as an idiot, he was a little angry.
"You think I'm stupid, didn't I ask you, I didn't know how to eat before."
Bai Zhen realized that his tone was too hasty just now, which hurt Hua Mu's heart, and said a little guilty: "I'm sorry, Miss... You, wash your hands, this tree is poisonous, don't come near it."
Hua Mu pouted, she was scared and didn't dare to pick up the fruit by herself, so let the white pillow come.
"You are amazing, you can see, then you can choose which ones are edible."
Looking at the white pillow, there are really few that can be eaten. Except for a few crabapples, only pandanus can be eaten after processing.
Hua Mu smashed it for a long time, and when she saw her, she picked a few and asked reluctantly, "Is there nothing else?"
Bai Zhen really didn't want to hurt her heart, but she couldn't eat what she couldn't eat.
"Miss, this is enough."
For the Sentinel, this is already the most euphemistic way to say it. Hua Mu stomped her feet and went back to eat coconut crab!
Bai Zhen sighed, washed the crabapple fruit, cut open the pandanus and soaked it in the sea water.
Hua Mu sat by the fire with her knees on her back, feeling even more depressed. I originally wanted to use this to save face, but I didn't expect it to be even more embarrassing. Isn't she the least burdensome for White Pillow by doing nothing
"Miss, do you want to eat crabapple fruit?" Bai Zhen walked to her side and spread out a few bright red fruits in front of her, "This is delicious."
Hua Mu was not happy at all, "Where's the pineapple?"
"Wild pineapple is delicious only after soaking in salt water. You should eat this first."
Hua Mu snorted, it was the fruit she picked, she picked it up and ate it in one bite.
Oh, sweet and sour, crispy, really delicious, as expected of the fruit she picked.
Seeing her brows stretched out, Bai Zhen felt a little more relaxed. He dragged the roasted crab claw out of the fire and said, "Miss, if you have something to do in the future, just let me do it."
Hua Mu has always been educated about eating, but after being sparred on the island for half a month, the image of a lady has long disappeared, and now she can still speak with something in her mouth.
"I have hands and feet myself, why ask you to do it?"
She didn't like to hear this, and felt that the white pillow looked down on her.
In fact, the white pillow somewhat understands Hua Mu's idea. Although the sentinel held the eldest lady high in the bottom of my heart, but after all, they have been with each other for five years, and they still have some understanding of the character. Don't look at Hua Mu's squeamishness, but she is very competitive. In the past, she was the kind of person who wanted to do things the best. Now, she is completely dependent on her to survive.
"Miss, I know your ingenuity. No matter what you did in the past, you were the best."
It's too rare for the sentinel to praise people. Hua Mu listened to the air, and said modestly: "I don't know how many people let me because my aunt is the queen."
White Pillow knew that was not the case at all.
"It's not like this. You work hard and work hard, and the Queen praises you for your intelligence and perseverance. As long as you make up your mind, you will succeed in whatever you do."
Why, talk a little more, she loves to hear it.
"Humph… "
"But you have too little experience in this regard, and the situation in the wild is more complicated. If you want to do it, you can do it. I'm just afraid that you will get hurt."
Strange, why is this sentinel's speech getting better and better
Hua Mu cleared her throat and stabilized her heartbeat.
"It sounds so nice, but it's just that I'm troublesome."
"I didn't think so!"
Seeing her anxious face, Hua Mu's vanity was greatly satisfied.
That's right, she dares!
"Well... you're right. But you can't just talk about my problems, you're not the same? Thinking that you're very powerful, you mess around and get hurt every time... Cough, I don't care about you, I want to You know, it's me who suffers in the end when you get hurt."
The white pillow is very moved, and the eldest has always been sympathetic to her servants.
"I understand."
"Also, I think what you said about me is very unreasonable. Like you said, I don't know anything because I haven't been in contact with it. Then I will learn slowly and practice slowly to make perfect. Do you let me do anything If I don't do it, will I make progress?"
At this time, Hua Mu didn't expect that he would go back soon, and he was gearing up to show his strength.
"But… "
"No problem, I'll pay attention to it later, but you can't let me do nothing and treat me like someone else."
White pillow knew that he couldn't talk about her, so he didn't talk anymore, he handled the hot crab claw and handed it to her.
The tender white crab meat seemed to exude a coconut fragrance, and Hua Mu's stomach groaned.
"Cough, okay, eat crab, eat crab, I have something to do in the afternoon."
Coconut crab, so delicious!
After eating and drinking, we are ready to cross the sea. The white pillow swam to the distance to observe the range of the mangroves a little, and then calmed down.
Less than two kilometers, if she is alone, she can swim directly there. But Hua Mu does not have such physical strength, she needs to make a simple raft.
Materials can be obtained from the mangrove forest, but she only has a dagger and a saber in her hand, and the progress may be a little slow.
Fortunately, the two of them did not plan to go back and forth in one day, and brought enough fresh water to come here.
White pillow made up her mind and was about to swim to the shore, when the strange current suddenly appeared in the sea caught her attention. The water outside the mangroves is not as clear as near the coral reefs, and the water depth is deeper. The remnants of the mangroves support a lot of plankton, along with a large number of fish.
The mental body has a strong sense of danger, and almost at the moment when the white pillow felt strange, the mental totem in her body has already responded.
The white pillow plunged into the water and swam quickly towards the shore. She could feel that less than ten meters behind her, a bull shark of nearly two meters was chasing after her.
Sharks generally do not actively attack humans, but in turbid waters they can be seen as a danger. What's more, there is a bloody smell on her body, which can easily cause the shark's stress response.
She doesn't have many advantages in the sea, and she doesn't want to be entangled with bull sharks. Sharks basically don't eat people, and they take a bite at most. Most of the humans who die in the mouth of a shark are killed by a fish because they attract more sharks after a bite.
This is the reason why the White Pillow is reluctant to entangle, no matter who gets injured, the result will attract more sharks.
Hua Mu felt uneasy after watching Bai Zhen go to the sea to investigate. At first, she thought she was worried about Bai Zhen's injuries, until she saw the big fins chasing her when she was swimming towards the sea.
"White pillow!"
With such a big fin, even the eldest Miss Hua Mu could see that it was not a good thing.
"Shark! You, you hurry up, swim faster!"
She jumped her feet in a hurry, knowing that it would be of no use to her to go, her feet still ran into the sea uncontrollably.
The white pillow originally calculated the distance, but when he saw Hua Mu rushing into the sea regardless, he panicked and the rhythm suddenly became chaotic.
The skills of the sentry have a lot to do with the type of spiritual body. The ice wolf like the white pillow is suitable for action in the forest and the wilderness. In addition to improving the perception, it can also allow her to acquire the skills of acceleration.
But the ice wolf is not adapted to underwater activities, which greatly weakens the combat effectiveness of the white pillow.
She has not encountered any dangerous fish on the coast these days, so she has lowered her vigilance more or less.
White pillow took a deep breath, suddenly turned back and rushed towards the nearly two-meter shark.
"White pillow!"
Hua Mu's heart twitched, and she almost fainted from fright.
"White pillow, white pillow! What are you doing!"
Although bull sharks are smaller than other sharks, they are among the most aggressive. As ambush sharks, they tend to hunt prey larger than themselves.
When Bai Zhen thought that the two would have to cross the sea afterward, he couldn't let the shark ignore it after all, so he pulled out the dagger from his waist and went straight to meet him. The strength of the bull shark's charge was amazing, and the white pillow narrowly avoided its collision and hung sideways on the fins.
Although sharks are fierce, they are not without weaknesses. The shark's mouth is surrounded by a circle of spot-like holes called the "ampulla of Lorentz", which were originally used to detect weak currents in seawater. If the front end of the shark's nose is stimulated, it can be temporarily paralyzed.
But even knowing this weakness, fighting sharks in the sea is extremely unwise, and even a well-trained sentinel like the White Pillow can't be completely unscathed. The shark also seemed to sense the danger, twisting the body violently, and swimming quickly with the white pillow.
The only thing fortunate is that the bull shark does not have a swim bladder and needs to rely on the air in its stomach to ascend and descend, but it did not bring the white pillow into the deep water for a while.
The lung capacity of the white pillow is amazing, and after getting used to its speed and figuring out its rhythm, I can already find the right time to take a breath.
She didn't want to hurt it pointlessly, both because the blood might attract other sharks, and because she didn't want it to die too painfully.
After all, it was them who broke into this chassis.
Hua Mu covered her mouth and looked at the churning sea, and she was already soft on the beach.
How can a person fight a shark in the sea!
The churning of the sea not far away became more and more violent, and suddenly, everything subsided. The scarlet blood quickly smudged the sea water, and Hua Mu found the strength to get up and stumbled towards the sea.
After the shipwreck, she was more or less afraid of the sea, but at this time she could not think of it at all.
If Bai Zhen dies, then she too... can't live anyway.
"White pillow, white pillow!"
Hua Mu's figure was too slender, she managed to walk out a bit, and a few waves knocked her back again. She cried and shouted, but her skirt got soaked and she didn't walk much.
After the white pillow killed the shark, she fell into a short-lived state of wandering, and her high concentration of mental power and excessive physical strength brought her to the brink of collapse. In a trance, she seemed to hear someone's cry, as if there was a light guiding her somewhere.
She can't die here yet!
Bai Zhen's body finally stopped sinking, turned over and swam towards the sea.
The author has something to say: Hua Mu: I underestimated the sentinel! Humph.
