Chen Mengxi heard this and looked at Liu Xun, who was smiling at this moment. She didn't know why Liu Xun could still smile in such a situation, but this was what made him different from ordinary people, right
For some reason, Liu Xun's smile could always melt the worries in Chen Mengxi's heart, forming an invisible sense of security, making her no longer so afraid.
"Okay!" The worry on Chen Mengxi's face disappeared, replaced by a smile. She almost trotted to the beach and started picking up the wine and drinks on the island shore, just like a child, without any worries.
Since the island shore is made up of small stones, some of the wine and wine glasses were broken when they were pushed onto the shore. The air was filled with the fishy smell of sea water and the smell of wine from broken bottles. The two smells mixed together were really unpleasant.
Liu Xun picked out two complete wine glasses, and then picked up the wine and drinks with Chen Mengxi. About twenty minutes later, one side of the island was filled with wine and various drinks. Chen Mengxi looked at the "results" and smiled happily.
"We won't be short of food and water for the time being, so let's start setting up a simple tent!" Liu Xun sensed the wind direction, then picked up a few pebbles on the ground and threw them casually, and the eight trigrams directions appeared.
He was calculating the wind direction for the next seven days. After calculating, Liu Xun frowned. The reason for his frown was not because of the wind direction. The wind direction was very good and stable in the next seven days. It was just that the wood for setting up the tent was easy to find, but what about other items? For example, bedding to block the wind
"What can we use to build it? We don't have any tools. Apart from the dead wood on the island, there are only these small stones." Chen Mengxi also noticed the problem and said softly.
"Gather some small dead wood, light them with a lighter, and wait for me to come back!" Liu Xun said as he began to take off his clothes. Seeing this, Chen Mengxi immediately turned her head away and asked nervously, "What...what are you going to do?"
"There must be bedding and sheets in the sea. It's still early now, and there are still four or five hours before dark. If we are lucky enough to find them, we won't have to endure the cold tonight." Liu Xun said as he took off his clothes and soon he was all clean.
After doing all this, Liu Xun walked into the sea without thinking or caring about the coldness of the sea water. When he reached the deep end, he dived in.
Liu Xun's thinking was very accurate. When he swam about one nautical mile, he saw several beddings floating. After collecting them, Liu Xun knew that this was far from enough, so he swam towards other floating objects.
Chen Mengxi could guess the reason why Liu Xun went to the sea, so she followed Liu Xun's instructions to collect dead wood and set it on fire. However, she was indeed very stupid and it took her five or six attempts to light it.
An hour later, Liu Xun's face turned a little blue, but he had collected no less than ten quilts and a large bag of vacuum-packed, water-free toilet paper. After all, Chen Mengxi was a woman and needed to use that thing, but Liu Xun couldn't find sanitary napkins, so he could only use this thing instead.
The bedding was filled with sea water. The weight of these ten quilts was heavier than a 100-kilogram man.
When Liu Xun finally arrived at the island shore after much hardship, Chen Mengxi not only did not come to help, but turned her head away and said with a blushing face: "You... you put on your clothes first."
"Why are you blushing? It's not like you didn't see it just now." Liu Xun shook his head and walked to the fire. Even if he wanted to put on clothes, he had to dry his body first!
"Just now... there was nothing I could do just now. The situation is different now." Chen Mengxi still maintained the original posture, muttering softly.
Liu Xun was too lazy to explain to her. After about five minutes, the seawater on his body was dried by the fire. He put on his clothes and said loudly: "Don't just stand there. Come over and help wring out the seawater on the quilt, otherwise it won't dry out.
Probably because she heard the sound of Liu Xun putting on his clothes, Chen Mengxi did not refuse this time and ran to Liu Xun, and the two began to wring the water. About ten minutes later, the seawater in the ten quilts was lowered to the lowest level.
Liu Xun found a few larger dead woods, built a frame, and placed the bedding in front of the fire. After adding dead wood to the fire, he walked towards the center of the island, looking for dead wood to set up a tent.
The requirements for the dead wood used to build a tent are quite strict. First, it must be strong, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the sea breeze. Hard work pays off. In about half an hour, Liu Xun found a dead wood that was enough to build a small tent for two people.
"Do you need my help?" Chen Mengxi was a little eager, because in her opinion, what Liu Xun did was very interesting...
"Forget it, the more you help, the more trouble you make. Just make sure the fire doesn't go out." Although setting up a tent seems like a simple job, Liu Xun knows that there can be no mistakes in this matter. If there is a mistake in one place and it is blown away by the sea breeze, all the previous efforts will be wasted.
Taking out the bayonet, Liu Xun dug several deep pits on the island and inserted the dead wood he had collected. When the dead wood was fixed in place, Liu Xun took off the rope on the emergency backpack and began to wrap it around the dead wood to make it more secure. (Emergency backpacks all come with self-rescue ropes.)
Once all this is done, it’s time to wait, because the bedding has not dried yet and this will take time.
"I... I want that, you... you don't peek." At this moment, Chen Mengxi's voice suddenly rang out.
"If you want to go to the bathroom, just do it quickly. There's so much to do in this vast world. How wonderful! Also, do I need to peek? You're like a saint now. Why did you hug me so tightly when you were naked just now?" Liu Xun opened a bottle of red wine and teased Chen Mengxi while drinking.
"You... could you please not mention this matter anymore! Hooligan!" Chen Mengxi said and walked to the side angrily. Liu Xun shook his head and looked at the sea calmly.
About two minutes later, Chen Mengxi came back and walked up to Liu Xun, her face blushing a little, and she said softly: "Liu Xun, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What's the matter?" Liu Xun drank up the bottle of red wine in just a short while and threw the bottle away.
"Can you... go to the sea again?" Chen Mengxi hesitated, as if hesitating about something.
"Am I free? Is the sea water warm? Or is my body made of iron? Or... do you think this is the scorching hot June?" Liu Xun turned his head away and ignored Chen Mengxi.
"No... it's just that, you know, women all use... that kind of thing, so I..." The more Chen Mengxi spoke, the redder her face became, and in the end, even she could not hear the sound of her words.
Liu Xun laughed and said, "You want me to go to the sea to find you sanitary napkins? Big sister, can you be more talented? Do you really think we are on vacation? At this time, you still care about these things? Isn't there toilet paper over there? Use that first."
"Ah? That's so unhygienic." Chen Mengxi's face turned bitter. She has always been very clean, even at this time.
"I don't want to bother with you." Liu Xun felt defeated. The fire was burning brightly and the bedding had been dried. He walked towards the bedding.
After picking up the blankets and taking off the remaining ropes from the emergency backpack, Liu Xun began to set up the tent. The whole process went smoothly. After about half an hour, six blankets were used as the top of the tent, leaving only an exit that was large enough for one person to enter and exit.
There were ten quilts in total, and the remaining four, two were used to cover the ground, and the remaining two were naturally used as covers! Liu Xun planned to use one for two people, and the other one for warmth, covering the other one. After all, this was a special period, so there was no need to be so particular.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, the sun was setting, and the shadow of the moon could be vaguely seen in the sky.
"Eat something and rest quickly." Liu Xun opened the food bag, took out a few sandwiches and beef jerky, handed some to Chen Mengxi, and ate some himself.
The food already had some strange smell, and Chen Mengxi frowned slightly, but she couldn't care less at this time. She could only pinch her nose and eat it mouthful by mouthful.
Liu Xun had no objection to this. When he was training before, he even ate dead mice in the primitive jungle, let alone a sandwich that had gone bad.
After finishing the meal, Chen Mengxi glanced at the food package and said softly, "Is this enough for us to eat for a few days? Shouldn't we save some food? Otherwise, we may not be able to wait until the day of rescue."
"It's okay, even if we don't have food, we can still wait until that day! I saw there were a lot of fish when I went into the sea just now! So even if we don't have food and water, we can drink fish blood and eat fish meat." Liu Xun said casually with a normal expression.
Chen Mengxi nodded and said nothing more. Liu Xun opened a bottle of whiskey, took out two glasses he had collected earlier, handed one to Chen Mengxi, and said with a smile, "Don't think about those useless things. Night has come. Madam, how about a drink?"
Chen Mengxi placed the wine glass in Liu Xun's hand, stood up and walked towards the tent, saying, "Drink it yourself, I'm going to rest."
"What? You won't even give me the face to have a drink?" Liu Xun raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
"It's not that I don't give you face, but I'm afraid you might have other ideas! There's no good man who persuades a woman to drink!" Chen Mengxi said as he walked towards the tent without turning around.
"Are you jealous of someone else's ambition?" Liu Xun poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp.
"I'm a woman, not a villain! But haven't you heard a saying? Only villains and women are hard to raise!" Chen Mengxi turned around and made a face at Liu Xun, and continued: "Also, since the day I met you, I have understood a truth. Do you want to know what it is?"
"What?" Liu Xun asked following Chen Mengxi's words.
"Beware of fire, theft and Liu Xun!" Chen Mengxi smiled sweetly and went into the tent.
"... "Liu Xun was left alone, disheveled in the sea breeze! What the hell is going on? (To be continued)
