Hua Mu didn't bother to argue with her anymore, and pointed to the breakfast for the white pillow and said, "This is for you. After eating, let's quickly divide the food. I will count this."
"Big... uh, I don't need anything, you can take it."
"I don't want to accept your charity, eat it quickly, or I'll throw it away if you don't eat it."
"I eat, I eat, don't throw it away."
No matter how much of the breakfast the eldest lady made, she could eat it, what a waste to throw it away.
The sentinel eats food quickly, but this time, he devoured it even more, as if he was afraid that the food would fly. Hua Mu was speechless, "Eat slowly, the dishes I cook so carefully, it's a waste of you to eat so carelessly."
Bai Zhen gave her an embarrassed look, turned her back and chewed slowly.
Hua Mu felt that he was really heartbroken. Although this idiot had first-class execution, he couldn't take care of himself at all. He was probably the so-called high score and low ability.
Seeing her slow down, Hua Mu settled down and began to figure out how to split up the family. She had thought a lot before going to bed last night, but she hadn't thought about the details. Big things are definitely inseparable, such as shelters, bamboo beds, toilets, etc. But the small aspects must be clearly distinguished, especially the food aspect, she will no longer take advantage of the white pillow for granted.
She wants to make Bai Zhen realize that she is no longer her "eldest miss".
After Bai Zhen drank the last drop of clam soup and washed the cooking utensils, he finally had to face Hua Mu who was already waiting.
"Have you finished eating? Well, let's get down to business."
"You, say it."
Hua Mu took a branch and paddled a few times on the beach between the two of them, dividing them into four areas.
"The things we currently have mainly have four aspects. One is construction. Bamboo sheds and bamboo beds are counted together, plus toilets and shower rooms. There are three buildings in total. These are not easy to divide. We both have contributions. If it is less, the beds will be divided according to what was said last night, and you have priority to use the other two."
"What is the priority of use?"
"That is, if we both want to use it, you can use it first."
The white pillow waved his hand quickly, "I, I'm fine, I can use it anytime."
That's right, there are only two people in total, and they won't grab it every time. Hua Mu felt that there was no need to worry about this, and nodded: "That's good, anyway, I will use it when you don't need it."
The white pillow nodded helplessly.
"The second is the use of tools. Most of these are salvaged by you, but I have participated in the production of some of them, especially the cooking utensils. I have spent a lot of thought. Fortunately, these are relatively abundant, and we can divide them equally, enough for each of us to use."
White Pillow has no objection.
"The third is some utensils you brought to the island, such as military knives, watches, needles, and pistols. Those are all yours."
"Big-cough, no, I don't need these, you, you have to have something to protect yourself."
When Bai Zhen heard that she was going to return the gun to herself, she shook her head in panic.
Hua Mu raised his hand and made a stop gesture, "Listen to me, I really can't live without a gun and a watch, so I'll exchange it with you for something else. I said it, I can exchange something. I wasn't last night. Will I make you underwear again? I'll exchange that set with you for a gun and twenty rounds of ammunition, okay?"
Bai Zhen's expression was very tangled. She wanted to say that the eldest lady wanted everything was fine and she didn't need to exchange it, but seeing Hua Mu's serious expression, she had to swallow all the words back in her stomach.
"Yes, yes."
Hua Mu nodded with satisfaction, "You don't seem to use watches very much, I need this, I'll change it with you, just use... just use the necklace. Although the necklace is useless on the island, it is very important to me after all. , I will mortgage it to you first, and I will exchange it with you when I have something else."
Bai Zhen gave a bitter face, "I can't ask for this, Miss, it was given to you by the Queen."
In dissatisfaction, Hua Mu patted the back of White Pillow's hand with a branch.
"But… "
"No, but, of course, the things my aunt gave me are very important to me. If you think it is useless, then when we finish dividing and you think I have something you need here, you can come and exchange it with me."
Bai Zhen saw that she was determined to clear the relationship, no matter what she said, she was just wasting her words, and finally nodded in resignation.
"The fourth is food and water. These are the things that are already on the island. We can do it according to our ability. As for the food that was originally hoarded, you can take all the wild boar and honey, and I will share some of the dried fish and dried fruit. The sauce is basically made by me, but you have caught a lot of ingredients, so you can share some, and we will share the spices equally... Oh, by the way, we will also use our own firewood in the future."
Between the white pillow and Hua Mu, Hua Mu has always dominated. Bai Zhen was stunned for a night and a morning, and finally realized that he was powerless to change anything.
Eldest Miss doesn't need her to be a escort anymore, and she will no longer accept any favors she makes as a escort.
The white pillow is not an opinionless person. As a sentinel, it will be a terrifying disaster if he does not have an opinion when performing tasks alone. But in front of Hua Mu, she seldom mobilized this part of her opinion. Prioritizing Hua Mu's safety and Hua Mu's will are her two highest principles of action.
But now, these two principles are in conflict, and she has to start to find a way to resolve the current contradiction from her own point of view.
The Sentinel is finally a Sentinel again, not just an escort. And once she got out of the confinement of the guard, she only felt that her eyes suddenly opened up - she had many loopholes to drill.
Bai Zhen frowned and nodded, "I agree with your suggestion, but..."
She seemed a little nervous, and pursed her lips for a long time without speaking.
"But what? You can raise any comments you have."
Hua Mu really wanted to know how far this idiot was still struggling.
The white pillow looked very nervous, and his face gradually turned red. In the end, he said the words.
"But you can't stop me from calling you Miss... I, I know that you don't need me to be your guard anymore, and I know that we are no longer masters and servants. That means... You have no right to interfere with what I call you, right? This is, is my freedom."
Hua Mu was once again stunned by the white pillow.
Although it was very unconvincing, she found that she had absolutely no way to refute it. This is an obvious vulnerability, so it is only natural that it will be discovered. She just... did not expect that the white pillow not only found out so quickly, but also had the courage to speak out.
Indeed, if she really demands equality, she has no right to interfere with what the white pillow does from now on.
Hua Mu didn't know whether to be annoyed or happy.
How persistent is this guy in calling her Miss? After finally awakening some self-consciousness, you ended up using such a ghost place
"...It's your freedom, call it what you like. But! I also have the right not to agree."
The white pillow showed a bit of joy, "As long as you don't stop me from calling."
With Hua Mu's determination and White Pillow's execution, the two sorted things out in less than half a day. To say that they are separated is actually just moving the position and stacking their respective things together. Hua Mu replaced the watch and honey with shrimp paste, and their family life officially began.
For Hua Mu, getting food is not the most difficult thing at present. Whether it's fishing or picking fruit, she can do it alone. It's just that she takes a lot more time than the white pillow, and she can't carry too many.
All in all, the time she had to spend getting food more than doubled.
Then she has to collect firewood, make food, maintain tools, etc., and her life starts to become very fulfilling...or busy. Hua Mu was busy and busy, and after a few days, she still saved a little food. There were frequent showers on the island, and she had to plan for it.
On the other hand, White Pillow doesn't seem to feel serious about living at all. Although he could travel faster, he always followed Hua Mu slowly, and he always dealt with food casually, and he hardly did anything except add some salt. But she can eat a lot of this kind of food, which makes Hua Mu call it a waste.
Obviously, when the two of them were eating together, she was more particular about what she did. What a waste of her shrimp paste!
The first rainstorm after the separation came under such conditions.
In the past few months, the two of them have never encountered the kind of storm they encountered when they went to the north, but they have also encountered a few heavy rains in the middle, and they have passed by without any danger.
White pillow had considered this situation when choosing the site, and the bamboo shed was built on a slightly higher terrain and surrounded by cliffs on both sides, which would not be submerged by water under normal circumstances. The two of them have continued to build the bamboo shed, and the bamboo walls and closable doors can also withstand certain wind and rain.
The white pillow depends on the weather to some extent, so the bamboo shed was reinforced in advance, and the rainproof cloth was carefully checked. At this time, there was not much water leakage inside.
However, this time the rainstorm was not small, and Hua Mu was a little worried about the safety of the shelter.
"White pillow, how long do you think it will rain this time?"
Throughout the morning, the torrential rain showed no sign of weakening. Hua Mu looked at the pots and pans that were leaking on the bamboo bed, and felt very worried.
Although she was more insecure in the days when the white pillow was sleeping, and she was almost always doing things by herself, but at that time, she had a lot of food and didn't spend much time running around for food. But these few days, she really felt the difficulty of survival, and even if she saved some food, she still felt that it was not enough.
And she didn't know how much fruit would be ruined by the rainstorm, and she felt distressed just sitting here.
"It should be down into the night, Miss, are you hungry?"
The two had nothing to do, and each maintained their daily utensils, but by this time, the maintenance of the utensils was finished. Under the same roof, the two seem to have nothing to do except chat.
"Fortunately, I have something to eat, so don't worry about it."
Of course, Bai Zhen knew that Hua Mu had food reserves. Looking at Hua Mu's efforts these few days, she felt distressed and was even more surprised to find that the other party could indeed live well without her.
The author has something to say: Hua Mu: I didn't expect this guy to be so clever!
