The sea breeze in the morning was a little cool, especially after the rain. Their clothes were wet, and they could not resist the cold wind at all.
Fortunately, it was August now, so although it was a little cold, it was not unbearable.
Chen Zhan was busy at the entrance of the shelter.
Not far away, Feng Hanni was also busy on the reef.
The rain just now had accumulated some rainwater in some of the potholes on the reef.
Feng Hanni was collecting the rainwater with the mineral water bottles she had picked up on the beach.
"Look, big brother Chenzhan, there are five small bottles and one big bottle. In addition, we have five bamboo joints that are filled with water. I don't think we need to move. We'll just stay here. When it rains, we'll have fresh water.”
Feng Hanni ran back with two bamboo sticks in her hands, her face full of joy.
Chen Zhan looked at the mineral water bottle between the two of them.
If they didn't enter the forest and stayed here, they could save enough water for about three days.
However, if they were to enter the jungle, this amount of water might be enough for today. At most, there would be some left for tomorrow.
This was simply not enough.
"This is not enough. Moreover, this water depends entirely on the weather. If it doesn't rain for a few days in a row, we won't be finished. So, I'll go into the island to take a look later.”
"Ah! You still want to enter the jungle? But your shoes!"
"It's fine. Aren't we just fixing the rope? I'll see if I can fix these shoes later!”
"But! But... Will this rope work?" She pointed at the black rope in Chen Zhan's hand and was a little doubtful.
She knew that Chen Zhan was making a rope. After the fire was lit, Chen Zhan told her about it. She even looked at how Chen Zhan made the rope.
It was very simple. He would use the banana tree fiber he brought back and tear it into thin strands. Then, he would choose a few strands and tie them into a dead knot. After that, he would rotate and rub them in the opposite direction. With the help of the opposite force, he would make the two strands of fiber tightly tangle with each other.
This was the method Chen Zhan used when he watched the grannies in the orphanage make straw ropes when he was young.
Chen Zhan had tried it out just now. The earphone cable was as thick as a fiber rope. With his enhanced physique, he tried to pull it, but he still could not break the rope even after using more than half of his strength.
The intensity was already very good.
"Yes, I can start repairing it now!”
"Let's wait, big brother Chenzhan. The fish soup is almost ready. Let's eat first, then you can make it!”
The bonfire was surrounded by rocks. On one side, there were three bamboo joints. On the other side, there was a large shell supported by two large rocks.
With dry kindling, it was easy to light a fire. After all, there were flint.
The things on the fire were the breakfast that he had just put up.
There were three bamboo joints, and inside was fish soup.
The small fish that Chen Zhan had brought back had already been washed and filled with rainwater. The fish had entered the three bamboo joints by the fire.
These bamboos weren't thick enough. They were even smaller than these small mineral water bottles.
It couldn't be helped. The bamboos that Chen Zhan found were all this big. In his hometown in the mainland, this kind of bamboo was called bamboo.
Of course, it was fine as long as the bamboo joints were long enough.
Although the bamboo could not be used to cook crabs and conches, it was enough to cook small fish or boil water.
This kind of bamboo could boil about 300 milliliters of water in one go.
"Yes, alright!"
Chen Zhan didn't delay. He put down the rope in his hand and walked to the fire.
The three bamboos that were close to the fire had been burnt black. Right now, the white soup was boiling.
"It's enough!"
The color of the soup indicated that the fish meat had reached the heat.
Chen Zhan used a wooden stick to support the bamboo tube.
"Wait a moment, drink it when it's colder!”
After saying this, Chen Zhan looked at the crabs and conches.
The heat transfer of the pot made of shells was really poor. The crabs had not fully colored yet. Some of them were still green.
"Yes, yes!"
Feng Hanni squatted beside the fish soup that had been moved outside the fire. She bent down and took a breath of the fragrance coming out of the bamboo tube.
"It smells so good. I want to drink it just by smelling it. Hehe, I've never looked forward to fish soup so much!”
"There's fish soup to drink. There's also crabs and conches later. At least we don't have to worry about our stomachs rebelling today!" Chen Zhan laughed.”
"Yes, yes, I really didn't expect this. Brother Chenzhan, thank you!”
Feng Hanni looked at Chen Zhan and thanked him earnestly.
She originally thought that she would not be able to hold on after coming to this deserted island.
She had thought about it countless times when she came here.
Usually, it was because they were too hungry or they were injured and were forced to leave.
She had never thought that she would be able to live so well on her second day on the deserted island. Moreover, it seemed that her future would not be too bad.
This was much more comfortable than the videos she had watched in the past.
