When they returned to the cave, Zhao Ling had already woken up. She was pouring the cooked rice onto the leaves to cool it down while preparing to cook.
Seeing Ye Qing return, he casually asked,""You're up so early. Where did you go?"
Ye Qing held the two fish in his hands and smiled.""Go out and add some dishes for us."
After a simple conversation, they fell silent again.
Last night's communication had caused the two of them to have some mental problems.
However, no matter how much they did not discuss these questions, they were always like a mountain that lay in front of the two of them and they had no choice but to face it.
After Zhao Ling finished cooking the two fat fish and placed them into the pot to boil soup, Ye Qing sat by the fire and pulled the burning firewood.
"What are your thoughts now?" he suddenly asked.”
"What idea?" Zhao Ling put on a puzzled expression.
Ye Qing exposed him heartlessly." We have to face this problem."”
Zhao Ling was a little angry and a little sad. She said very quickly,"I just talked to Dad on the phone last night. Can't you let me lie to myself for a while?”
Ye Qing was silent, but he quickly said," How could I not want this? But we have no other choice now."”
Pa!
A piece of dry wood that Zhao Ling was playing with broke. She looked at Ye Qing in a daze, and tears suddenly fell.
"Ye Qing, do you think we will never be able to get out? Why did the search and rescue team only find a reef when we sent out the radio signal on an island? Is there a problem with the signal source?"
Ye Qing felt bad seeing her like this, but he couldn't think of anything to comfort her.
He could only briefly tell her what he had deduced on the beach."I feel that the rules of time on this island that we're on right now might be different from the outside world.”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Ling looked at him.
Ye Qing said," Think back to the diary. Whether it's the fighter jet or the thatched cottage, it seems to us that it was only built a few years ago. However, in the diary, the person obviously thought that there was still a war outside. If his memory is not chaotic, then there must be some problem with the time. In addition, the rescue team last night..."
"You mean…maybe we think we're in 2019, but we're not?”Zhao Ling forgot to cry and finished the rest of Ye Qing's sentence.
" Yes." Ye Qing nodded." Do you remember what I told you before? I once saw a Zanzibar leopard and a short-faced bear on the island, right?" Back then, you said that bears all look the same. Maybe I was mistaken, but I can tell you clearly now that I can't be mistaken. I used to like studying these things, so I've seen many restored pictures of them.”
In order to make Zhao Ling believe his words, Ye Qing could only lie.
However, it was not really a lie. After all, with the system around, his ability to identify things was much more accurate than comparing it with the restoration map.
Zhao Ling's eyes were still streaming with tears, but there was no expression on her face. She looked at Ye Qing in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Ye Qing did not disturb her. After all, this kind of thing was indeed difficult for her to accept.
If it weren't for the system, he might have been scared to death by his own conjecture.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Ling finally recovered from her shock and said faintly,""I believe that you won't lie to me, but things like time distortion and space-time wormholes are too hard to believe.”
"But this is the truth. At least for now, this is the only explanation.”Ye Qing shrugged helplessly.
"Ye Qing, you, you…can you hug me?" Zhao Ling suddenly asked.”
"What?" Ye Qing suspected that he had heard wrongly.
" Don't think too much. I just, just feel very scared…" Zhao Ling hurriedly explained.
Ye Qing gave her a big, warm smile and opened his arms.
Zhao Ling moved over from the other side of the bonfire and gently nestled in Ye Qing's embrace. She said softly,""Thank you."
"You're welcome. Maybe when the search and rescue team finds us in the future, they'll find that the entire island is filled with our monkeys.”Ye Qing joked.
Zhao Ling stood up from Ye Qing's embrace and kicked Ye Qing twice. She said angrily,""What are you thinking? Are you asking for a beating?"
Ye Qing laughed out loud, but it resulted in another storm of punches.
The two of them played around for a while before Zhao Ling sat back down by the fire. However, she did not dare to get close to Ye Qing anymore. She lowered her head and blushed. It was unknown whether it was because of the fire or because she was embarrassed, but she refused to speak even if she was beaten to death.
Ye Qing smiled embarrassedly. He didn't really want to take advantage of her, he just wanted to ease the atmosphere.
At least Zhao Ling wasn't crying anymore, right?
After a while, the fish soup started to boil. Ye Qing shouted,""Let's eat, let's eat. I'm starving."
She definitely wasn't doing this on purpose to attract attention. She had slept without eating last night and was really hungry.
Zhao Ling was also hungry. Although she ignored Ye Qing, her hands were not slow. She scooped up her portion of rice, found a pair of chopsticks, and wolfed it down.
After a while, the rice and two fat fish were all in their stomachs. Even the soup in the pot was scooped up by them with curled leaves. Only then did they lie down beside the fire with satisfaction and let out a few comfortable moans.
Once a person was full, it was easy to think of other things, such as giving birth to monkeys.
Ye Qing took the opportunity when Zhao Ling wasn't paying attention to carefully size up the big star opposite her.
She had to admit that she was really good-looking, especially her figure. In the words of her mother and grandmother, she was really suitable for giving birth.
As soon as this thought appeared, Ye Qing immediately looked down on himself. What kind of situation was this? He was still thinking about such nonsense. It was too evil.
In order to prevent this evil thought from spreading, he could only open his mouth to break the silence.
"Um…we're almost out of mineral water. Why don't we go out and look for fresh water today?”
Ever since they had access to fresh water and iron pots, who would want to eat dried grilled fish and fried crabs? Even if they had been grilled and fried, they would sometimes put them into the soup. That way, they would taste fragrant and crispy. It was simply a king's enjoyment.
However, this also led to their water consumption being particularly fast. In just a few days, the water buckets were almost empty.
Zhao Ling clearly attached great importance to this question. Hearing Ye Qing's words, she did not hesitate and directly said,"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about this a few days ago, but I was busy moving and then making wooden beds. I didn't have time.”
"Alright, if you don't have any objections, let's rest for a while and then set off.”Ye Qing said.
Although he still had a shadow of the island's depths, the problem of fresh water had to be solved. This was unquestionable.
Moreover, now that he had Little Blue and Little Black, he felt a lot more at ease.
Little Blue could help him detect the surrounding movements at any time. If there were really any ferocious animals approaching, it could send out an early warning. He could not afford to offend them, but he could not hide.
Moreover, if they really couldn't run away, they still had Little Black. With such a strong physique, ordinary animals were not its match. If they couldn't even defeat Little Black, then Ye Qing could only let it stall for time while he fled with Zhao Ling.
As for Xiao Hei's life and death?
To be honest, although he was reluctant to part with it, and it was also very cruel and cold-blooded, in front of his and Zhao Ling's lives, Little Black was really nothing.
