It's not that the other party doesn't think about anything, it's better that she has thought too much. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Hua Mu suspected that even Bai Zhen himself did not know.
"You sharpen the axe, I'll sharpen the saw blade, and you teach me how to do it." And this matter was obviously for her sake. Although it made her feel depressed, it was different from the dull and incomprehensible style.
The most important thing is that Hua Mu doesn't want to lose his temper for the time being, it's so tiring to lose his temper.
"I'll be fine. Your hands are so tender, it's not good to be scratched."
Hands are so tender, how could this sentinel speak! In Empire, that's sexual harassment.
"How can I be so stupid! Although my physical strength is not as good as yours, but sharpening a knife pays more attention to skills, I can do it!"
Bai Zhen couldn't persuade her, so she was sweating profusely.
"But, but..."
"No but, you can find two stones that can sharpen the knife, and we will try to sharpen the tool today."
The sentinel was helpless. At this time, no matter what, he could not express the idea of not wanting Hua Mu to do physical work, so he had to find a few whetstones.
The rocks around the coast are heavily weathered and obviously not suitable for sharpening knives. White Pillow went to look around the stream in the jungle, and soon found a few stones that were handy.
The fire axe and saw blade that were picked out are relatively well preserved. Although a large number of marine life are attached to the surface, they are not rusted very much.
The white pillow first picked rough sandstone to grind off the attachments on the surface, and then used sandstone rich in clay material for grinding. Hua Mu followed suit, but because of lack of strength, the first time he did it was very unfamiliar, and the progress was much slower.
She took back the sentence that she didn't need strength, she was dying of exhaustion.
Bai Zhen has been paying attention to the situation on her side. Seeing that she has stopped several times, she will spare no effort to persuade her, which annoys Hua Mu.
"You don't mind me, just grind your own. This saw blade is mine, you can't rob me!"
She used to be pampered and enjoyed the life of a noble lady without any psychological barriers, because she was also fulfilling her responsibilities as the heir to the royal family. Aunt and father do not need her to participate in politics, so she is enthusiastic about public welfare, befriends celebrities, maintains elegance and decency in front of the public, and tries her best to maintain the dignity of the royal family.
She used to be high above and sent the White Pillow with no burden at all, because they were masters and servants. It is White Pillow's responsibility to protect her, and she can naturally exercise certain rights by giving her trust and reward.
But on this desert island, not to mention the superiority and inferiority and the spirit of contract based on the civilized system, even the law of killing for life no longer exists. The longer time passes, the more Hua Mu understands that the peace between the two is maintained, and that what ensures his survival is nothing but the loyalty of the white pillow.
The human heart is the most unreliable thing. But for White Pillow, even though Hua Mu was shaken when she first landed on the island, she can't help but trust her to this day. She knew that being an aristocrat, being the heir to the throne was very dangerous.
But on this island, after that identity faded away, she was just Hua Mu. As Hua Mu, she is willing to believe in the white pillow.
But being willing to believe in her does not mean that you can rely on her without burden. On the contrary, because the white pillow is just out of loyalty, she still serves her as a young lady, which makes Hua Mu feel restless and impatient because she can't reciprocate.
She tried so hard to prove herself, to give, to seek an equality. She knows that although she still seems to have the illusion of being aloof at the moment, if the time is longer, then let alone the inability to lose her temper at the white pillow, perhaps even other more exaggerated means to win over will be unconsciously used. .
She didn't want to let things go that way out of a sense of indebtedness—no, things shouldn't go that way.
Hua Mu has been grinding the saw blade for a whole day, and finally it has finally reached the point where it is barely usable. White Pillow made wooden handles for a few tools, and they were ready to go with a little machining the next day.
Hua Mu looked at the results of his day, and was satisfied with the hardships of labor at the same time. Her wrists were sore, and by the time it was time to eat dinner, she could barely lift it.
Bai Zhen looked at Hua Mu holding the grilled fish but didn't want to eat it, and asked worriedly, "Miss, do you have no appetite?"
"no… "
She just raised her hand so tired that she didn't want to move.
The white pillow responded quickly this time, and immediately noticed her reason.
"Are your hands uncomfortable? Let me see."
Although Hua Mu had always refused before, and insisted that he was fine, this time he obediently put his hand in the sentry's palm. The originally delicate and fair palms had blisters again, and there were even faint blood oozing in several places, which was quite shocking.
Not only the palms, but Hua Mu's wrists are also a little red and swollen, which is obviously caused by excessive force and incorrect skills.
White pillow reddened her eyes, "Miss..."
Hua Mu felt a little uncomfortable. Obviously I did it myself, but when I was injured, I had to help me deal with it.
"It doesn't hurt too much, it'll be fine tomorrow."
Bai Zhen himself had suffered an almost fatal injury, but he was far from seeing the pain of Hua Mu's injury.
"I'll help you deal with the wound first."
The sentinel handled the wound with ease, and the medicine was applied in a short while. It's just that Hua Mu can't eat by herself with the medicine on her hand, and the white pillow shoulders the burden of feeding her.
Although it was not the first time to let the sentinel feed him, Hua Mu still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Miss, take a rest tomorrow."
On the one hand, Hua Mu didn't want to give up halfway, on the other hand, it was really painful, so she had to perfunctory: "Let's talk about it."
There are few entertainment activities on the island, if there is nothing important, it is the best choice to rest early. After making the bamboo bed, the sleeping environment has been greatly improved. After a tiring day, Hua Mu collapsed on the bamboo bed and rested.
Physical exhaustion has another advantage, allowing her to rest without time to think about it. For example, why the rescue has not come yet, such as whether the empire has given up the two, and whether the two will never return.
But today, she couldn't fall asleep all at once, because in addition to being tired, her wrist was also painful.
The white pillow tidied up and lay down on the bamboo bed, and Hua Mu quickly leaned up. Having slept a lot, the sentinel had not very often wondered whether it was inappropriate to be so close to the eldest lady.
"My wrist hurts."
Now is the time to act like a spoiled child, Hua Mu no longer thinks about those unfair things, just wants to be loved.
The white pillow wrapped her warm palm and kneaded gently.
"I'll give you a rub."
"Well..." Sentinel's massage method is very professional, and the strength is just right. More importantly, unlike usual, the white pillow at this time made her feel tender.
"White pillow."
"What's your order?"
"You are training in the tower, and is it more difficult, tiring and dangerous to perform tasks than on the island?"
"Well... I don't know how to compare."
Although I don't know how to compare, but to be disrespectful, because of the existence of Hua Mu, White Pillow felt that the days when she was living on the island was her happiest time.
"That's right, you must be more calm than taking me alone, right?"
The sentinel didn't know why the eldest miss had such thoughts, and said in a panic, "There is no such thing."
Hua Mu has always been proud, and it is rare to say such discouraged words.
"Really? But I can't do anything."
"You have something else, more than anyone else..."
"However, on this island, those other specialties are useless. I can't even sharpen a saw."
Is the white pillow really just worried about being considerate to her and didn't let her do it? Or just don't want her to cause trouble
Hua Mu is not just thinking about it because of today's setback, but also because of the accumulation of pressure during this time.
Bai Zhen really couldn't see Hua Mu belittling herself like this, and couldn't help taking her thin and thin body into her arms.
"No such thing, Miss, it's quite normal that you are not used to doing this kind of work for the first time. No one is born good at anything, even I have learned it for a long time. You are more talented than most people, I'm sure you'll be better at it soon too."
Although she really didn't want Hua Mu to become good at these things from her selfishness, after all, in her opinion, the eldest lady shouldn't do such rough work at all.
The sentinel's active hug gave Hua Mu great comfort. She buried her face in her soft chest and asked in a nasal voice: "Do you really think so? Don't you think I'm useless? I don't think I'm useless either? Is it a burden?"
The white pillow was excited and said incoherently: "How could you... How could you be a burden? You don't know... I never thought of this, you are the most beautiful person I have ever met... Kinder than anyone, tougher than anyone, Brave and harder than anyone else... You... you must never think like that. I am because of you..."
The sentry stopped abruptly.
"Um?"
"I-I mean you must not have such thoughts..."
Bai Zhen's clumsy but sincere words were more effective than ecstasy soup for Hua Mu, and the eldest lady quickly became airy.
Hua Mu raised her head from Bai Zhen's embrace, clenched her fists and said confidently, "That's right, I have a wide range of interests, and I haven't learned anything yet. As long as I want to learn, can't I just catch it? Well, tomorrow we will do it. Get the tools ready and start building the toilet!"
"Uh, this... you, you still have injuries on your hands."
White pillow did not expect that his words of encouragement would be so useful, and he felt like shooting himself in the foot.
"What is this little injury! I'm not a child anymore, am I still afraid of pain?"
Bai Zhen unconsciously remembered the scene of Hua Mu crying with tears in her eyes and wanting to kiss her in her arms, and felt that the other party's words were very unconvincing.
"You, what you said is."
But she already has experience, and there are some things that the eldest lady doesn't like to hear, so she must not say it.
The author has something to say: Speaking of sexual harassment, Miss, you are more like an unscrupulous superior in workplace sexual harassment.
