The bloody smell of the bull shark could not dissipate for the time being, and the white pillow postponed the plan to cross the sea until the next day.
She only planned to make a simple raft before, and it was enough to keep Hua Mu from immersing in sea water. But after this encounter, she was determined to make a solid raft, at least not to fall apart in a single dash.
Mangroves are mostly composed of shrubs or small trees, which are not suitable for making rafts; the associated semi-mangroves such as crabapple and silverleaf are relatively solid, although they are suitable for building bridges, houses and boats, they are not suitable for emergency production. Raft.
Bai Zhen finally decided to go to a bamboo forest a little further away to make a bamboo raft.
Because of the delay before, it is already two o'clock in the afternoon. White Pillow calculated the progress and found that work had to start immediately.
"Miss."
While depressed, Hua Mu glanced at the white pillow, and when she saw that she didn't seem to notice her, she couldn't help but glance down.
Sentinels do not wear jackets in most situations, except when operating in the rainforest. Because she has to go to the sea from time to time, sports underwear is her daily standard.
Hua Mu has seen the body of the white pillow many times, but still can't look directly at the more... uh, the following part.
Most of her eyes are focused on the Sentinel's abdomen, such as the arms, shoulders, and chest and chest.
If you want to say why, of course it's because... It's too embarrassing!
When the abdominal muscles of the white pillow are relaxed, it is not very obvious, but the mermaid line further down is very clear, and the angle that does not enter the edge of the panties is synonymous with eroticism!
Hua Mu really couldn't figure it out, how could Bai Zhen dare to reveal such a body in a grand manner! Aren't you afraid of others jumping on it
Of course, she wouldn't pounce on it, so she'll take a look now - to make sure the big idiot isn't hurt!
"Miss?"
Bai Zhen called Hua Mu several times in a row, and finally made her come back to her senses.
"What, what are you doing!"
Hua Mu covered her mouth and turned her head, annoyed at her gaffe.
Alas, she just took things too seriously, and my aunt was right.
"I'm going to chop some bamboo to make a bamboo raft, there is some distance from here, you are... "
"I'll go with you."
White pillow is really worried about leaving Hua Mu here alone.
"Then let's go now."
Hua Mu originally thought that White Pillow should rest for a while, but after thinking about it again, her injury would not be cured by sitting for an extra hour or two, so she dismissed the idea of persuading her.
It's better to follow along and watch her from the side.
Bai Zhen squatted in front of Hua Mu and motioned for her to come up. Hua Mu looked at the herbs all over her body and twitched the corners of her mouth.
"No need, I'll go by myself... You also accompany me to walk slowly."
In addition to her frail body and lack of physical strength, Hua Mu's inconvenience in movement was mainly due to the lack of a pair of good shoes.
One slipper was picked up, even if it didn't fit, the other was a pure natural handmade slipper that could fall apart after a few more steps.
Like this time, she took the slippers in her hands not long after she came out.
"Then I'll make another shoe for you."
Bai Zhen guessed that Hua Mu didn't want her to carry her back because she was sympathetic to her injuries, and she couldn't stand the herbs, so she didn't force her.
The leaves of the pandanus tree are flexible, flat and long, which is very suitable for weaving. The white pillow is made of local materials and quickly helped Huamu to make a slipper.
Hua Mu was stunned.
"Tari still taught this?"
The white pillow showed a shy expression, "No, my mother-in-law taught me."
"Oh..." Hua Mu always felt that it was not easy to ask about things in the White Nail Clan.
The two of them straightened up, left most of the supplies, took a bottle of water, half of the coconut crab and pandanus soaked in seawater and set off on the road.
When Hua Mu was eating it, she realized that the thing she picked wasn't a pineapple at all. Although it was a little sweet, the taste was weaker, and the fruit couldn't be swallowed.
"Are you going to eat?"
Bai Zhen shook his head, "Miss, don't eat too much, this is cold."
Hua Mu actually didn't think it was very delicious, but she felt that it would be a waste if she didn't eat it - she, a noble lady, was forced out of such a poor mentality by this island.
"Ugh."
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Zhen heard her sigh suddenly, and her heart sank again.
"I really didn't expect that I would be reduced to this point."
If she let it go, if she didn't take a bath for two days, she would feel that lice would grow on her body, but now...
"It is my fault… "
Hua Mu said angrily: "What's wrong with you? Isn't it bad to save me to this island? It's me who ran away from home, it's me who took you out, and it's me who sailed the boat. It's none of your business."
Bai Zhen said that he couldn't say anything to Hua Mu, so he blushed and said after a long time, "Yes, I didn't remind you that this is the circle of sea monsters..."
It's not that the sentinel didn't say anything, it's just that she did it her own way.
"Come on, your mouth is so stupid, don't imitate others."
Bai Zhen pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Hey, did you have a scar from your previous injury?"
But Bai Zhen didn't speak, and Hua Mu was bored. She thought about this just now, and when she thought about it, she thought of the shot that the sentinel had saved her. It's just that I didn't see the scar after watching it for a long time, and I was a little worried about it.
"what?"
But the sentinel didn't have the jumping thinking like the eldest young lady, and couldn't react for a while.
"Back then, on my sixteenth birthday, didn't you, didn't you block a shot for me?"
White Pillow will never forget that day.
"No, no..."
You can't even lie, it's too stupid.
"I heard my dad say it almost hurt my heart?"
White Pillow felt that the Duke was too serious.
"No, the bullet is stuck in the ribs, far from the heart."
"...Are you carrying a turtle shell on your back?"
What kind of body is a sentinel, and the ribs can block bullets.
What Bai Zhen didn't say was that there were frequent assassinations against Hua Mu in those years, and she wore a bulletproof vest anytime and anywhere just to block Hua Mu from bullets.
For such complaints, the sentinel didn't know how to respond, only smiled shyly.
Hua Mu was going to be suffocated by her.
"So, where is the wound?"
"Uh... on, on the back."
"On the back? Why didn't I see... ah, it was covered."
Since it is about to hurt the heart, it is of course near the heart, and the sports underwear can still be wrapped.
Bai Zhen was deeply moved when she thought that the eldest miss was still thinking about her injury after so long.
"Miss, that is really all right."
Hua Mu pouted, "If there's something wrong, you'll find out."
"what?"
"nothing… "
She obviously just wanted to confirm the health of her bodyguard, but she was shocked by the white pillow, as if she had some ulterior motive.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent for some reason. Fortunately, the two had already walked more than a thousand meters, and the bamboo forest had arrived.
There are a lot of bamboos growing on the island, most of them are tropical clump bamboos with small branches and low plant height. Only this area is the tall bamboo, which looks very conspicuous.
Moso bamboo generally grows in subtropical regions and requires a warm and humid climate. Growing soil needs to be rich in water, but not waterlogged for a long time. The area of this bamboo forest is not particularly large, and it is located on the hillside at the edge of the rainforest. Moso bamboo is generally more than ten meters high, and most of the stems are more than ten centimeters in diameter.
It is most suitable for making bamboo rafts.
Of course, the eldest lady can't help with the job of chopping bamboo. The white pillow let her sit on the side and rest, and smashed the dagger into the bamboo pole with a stone.
Hua Mu looked on with trepidation, worried for a while that she would hit her hand, and worry that the wound on her shoulder would open again. Finally, when the ten-meter-high bamboo fell down, he was already sweating.
She felt like she had to find something to do.
Apart from fresh water, the only thing that can motivate the eldest lady to do things now is food, and she quickly thought of bamboo shoots. There were a lot of bamboo shell-like skins on the ground, and Hua Mu instantly ignited his fighting spirit.
"White pillow, do you think there will be bamboo shoots here? Is this the shell of the bamboo shoots?"
It was indeed the shell of the bamboo shoots, probably because the rain about 20 days ago had created many new bamboo shoots. This also means that it is unlikely that there are still bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest now.
"Miss, you can look for it."
But on the one hand, Bai Zhen felt that it would be better not to discourage Hua Mu's enthusiasm, and on the other hand, she also wanted her to find something to do - the eldest lady saw that she was too nervous.
"Hmph, then you continue to chop bamboo, I'll go find bamboo shoots!"
Naturally, the bamboo shoots were not found. Bai Zhen had already chopped three bamboos more than ten meters long and prepared to make bamboo rafts. The sentinel's physical strength can be seen from this. He was still dying just now, but now he can carry the thick and long bamboo without taking a breath.
Hua Mu was quite discouraged about not finding the bamboo shoots. Goodbye to Bai Zhen's bull-like stance of moving things, and he gave a "squeak" in his heart. She hurriedly glanced at the other person's shoulder, and found that the blood had leaked out at some point.
"White pillow!"
What is she worried about
"Huh? Miss, have you found bamboo shoots?"
Bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots!
"Put the bamboo down."
Bai Zhen quickly put down the bamboo, ran to Hua Mu's side, and asked nervously, "Miss, what's the matter with you?"
Hua Mu wanted to say "it's you who has something to do", but finally swallowed it back.
"You cut down three bamboos, you want to cut them off before making a bamboo raft, right?"
"Yup."
"Where are you going to get it?"
"On the beach, you can put it in the sea later and drag it away."
Hua Mu jumped up in anger and hit her on the head, "It seems very clever to say it, so you won't divide it up here first and then take it?"
Although it didn't hurt, the white pillow was knocked a little dumbfounded.
"But, but that would have to be moved several times."
Hua Mu suddenly discovered that this sentinel was actually quite lazy. Of course, to say something nice is to focus on efficiency, but wouldn't it be lazy to bleed more than to travel a few times
"You cut it short, the part of the hill can be rolled directly down, and it won't take too much time." Hua Mu glanced at the white cloth on her shoulders that had been soaked with blood, and finally couldn't help saying, "You change first. Medicine, do it later, it doesn’t matter if you take it slowly, and don’t worry.”
The white pillow understood the care of the eldest lady, and was very moved for a while.
"I-I know!"
Hua Mu saw that she was so excited that even her stereotyped expression softened a lot, and her heart was inexplicably happy and proud.
Therefore, the Sentinel can't do without her, and he may have tossed himself to death without knowing when!
Hua Mu felt the heavy burden on him, and was determined to take good care of this stupid, stupid, and occasionally mad wolf dog.
The author has something to say: Hua Mu: Really just to make sure she is okay!
Phyllostachys pubescens is native to China, mostly in the subtropical zone, and can also grow in suitable tropical areas. The setting of this article is also native to the mainland, so the presence of bamboo on the island means... Missy will have bamboo shoots and stewed meat to eat spicy!
