While the four women were fishing in the low tide pool, Zhou Wen had already returned to the courtyard and began making hoes.
Zhou Wen planned on building the latrine before nightfall. He didn't mind, but Liu Rushi was a girl, so she needed the building.
Sometimes, it was very inconvenient for girls. Without a toilet to cover them, they would feel uneasy.
He used a sturdy wooden stick and cut it into a round shape that was suitable for holding in his hand. This was to make it easier to dig holes.
Following that, Zhou Wen began using the military machete to carve the stone, digging out a hole that could accommodate the wooden stick.
The reef was very sturdy, but hard work paid off. Zhou Wen finally succeeded. There was a suitable hole at one end of the reef. Zhou Wen tried it with the wooden stick and found that the hole was slightly larger.
However, this was exactly what Zhou Wen wanted. It was perfect, but it wasn't perfect.
If the wooden stick couldn't pass through, he could only continue to carve until the hole was suitable.
After piercing the wooden stick into the hole in the reef, Zhou Wen began cutting small pieces of wood to secure the wooden stick from loosening.
Zhou Wen held the wooden block and stuffed it into the gap between the wooden stick and the slot.
One end of the wooden cabinet was one centimeter thick, while the other end was only a few millimeters thick. It was precisely because of this difference in thickness that the wooden blocks could be inserted into the gaps between the holes.
With the rock in his right hand, Zhou Wen smashed it again and again, sending the wooden stick flying. It was as though he couldn't complete the task alone.
"I'm here to help you. What do you want me to do?”Liu Rushi hurriedly asked when she saw that Zhou Wen had failed to complete the task despite trying a few times.
"Help me hold the rock. It might hurt your hand. If you can't do it, don't force yourself.”Zhou Wen said.?
"I can do it. You're doing this to make the small courtyard more comprehensive. I hope that I won't be watching from the side." Liu Rushi smiled.
Liu Rushi hoped that she could help and not be a vase that was being raised. This wasn't like her.
Under Zhou Wen's guidance, Liu Rushi held the reef with her jade-like hand. The reef camp was uneven, making it easy for her to cut her skin.
But Liu Rushi didn't back down. This was something she could do, so she had to do it well.
Zhou Wen fixed the wooden stick with the ground as a support point. He then used a stone to block it to prevent the wooden stick from sinking into the ground when he struck it.
Once everything was ready, Zhou Wen began knocking on the wooden block. With the first strike, a third of the wooden block had gone in, but Liu Rushi frowned at that moment.
Upon seeing Zhou Wen look over, Liu Rushi's brows immediately relaxed as though nothing had happened.
"Did you hurt your hand? I should be able to do it alone. Why don't you let go?”Zhou Wen asked.?
"No, I can't! Don't treat me like a vase that can't do anything. I can do it!”Liu Rushi was very stubborn. Although her hand was indeed hurting, she didn't want to give up.
She didn't wish to push everything onto Zhou Wen to survive on an uninhabited island. She wanted to help him with whatever she could do.
Zhou Wen nodded." Alright, I respect your choice. But if you can't take it, don't force yourself."”
Good!
After Liu Rushi responded, Zhou Wen didn't say anything else. He continued striking the wooden block. As he struck it again and again, the wooden block went deeper and deeper until only a third of it was outside.
Next, he only needed a few more ruthless attacks to complete the task.
She glanced at Liu Rushi and forced a smile on her face. Her smile was a little unnatural.
"Why don't you let go? I really don't need your help. I can handle it.”Zhou Wen said.?
Liu Rushi shook her head, disagreeing with Zhou Wen's suggestion.
Seeing that she was about to succeed, she wanted to finish what she started. Her hand was clearly in so much pain that she couldn't take it anymore, but she still didn't want to give up.
Helpless, Zhou Wen could only continue hammering. When he was finally done, he got Liu Rushi to let go and saw a smear of red on the reef!
Upon seeing the red, Zhou Wen pulled a long face.""Give me your hand!"
Liu Rushi hid her jade-like hands behind her back and shook her head.""Why are you so fierce?”
"Stick it out!" Zhou Wen repeated what he had said with a serious tone.
Seeing that Zhou Wen was about to get angry, Liu Rushi could only extend her hand pitifully with the back of her hand facing up, not wanting Zhou Wen to see her palm.
But even so, Zhou Wen still saw red bloodstains at the crack between Liu Rushi's fingers.
Zhou Wen's face darkened as he grabbed Liu Rushi's palm and flipped it over. He immediately saw that Liu Rushi's palm was torn.
At this moment, there were still beads of blood seeping out.
Grabbing Liu Rushi's hand, Zhou Wen walked into the hut without saying a word.
Liu Rushi's heart raced. This was the first time Zhou Wen had grabbed her hand while she was awake.
It gave Liu Rushi a strange feeling. It was completely different from when she held hands with her partner during filming. It was like heaven and earth apart...
When he arrived at the hut, Zhou Wen found toothpaste and looked straight at Liu Rushi.""Sit down. I'll apply some toothpaste on you. The toothpaste has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification.”
"Next time, if you are so disobedient and insist on getting yourself injured, I will abandon you just like how I abandoned Liu Yuxuan and the others!”
Liu Rushi smiled mischievously and pouted.""I believe you won't. I didn't make you angry.”
"I'm very angry right now!" Zhou Wen said coldly.?
"Alright, you're angry, but you look quite handsome when you're angry.”Liu Rushi didn't take Zhou Wen's anger seriously.
Zhou Wen was angry because he was concerned about him.
What did this mean? It meant that Zhou Wen was concerned about her. Perhaps he had a good impression of her.
At the thought of this, Liu Rushi's face flushed red, looking extremely charming.
Liu Rushi was a beauty to begin with. Moreover, she rarely showed any bashful expressions. She was acting on the big screen, so it was not natural.
Liu Rushi's bashful expression was extremely natural and looked even better.
Zhou Wen carefully applied toothpaste on the wound on Liu Rushi's palm before saying angrily,""Are you saying that I'm not handsome if I'm not angry?”
"No, I can't! You look good whether you're angry or not. You're not angry now, right? I'm so obedient.”Liu Rushi said.
"I can't be bothered with you! Remember, men can't be described as good-looking. I'm not like Cai Xukun and Sister Deer, who can be described as good-looking.”
"If you want to describe me, you can either use the word handsome or masculine handsome. I'll dig a hole while you watch from the side. Don't hurt yourself again.”
"Otherwise, I will really abandon you!”With that said, Zhou Wen held the hoe he had just finished and waved it at the place he had planned.
Liu Rushi watched as Zhou Wen dug a hole and worked hard. She muttered,""Humph! Men! A man who doesn't mean what he says…"
