The two hugged each other tightly, keeping each other warm, and spent their first night on the island.

After dawn, Meng Ying no longer looked as fragile as last night.

Bai Zhi had a hard time falling asleep last night and didn't fall asleep until almost dawn. Meng Ying watched her huddle up, wrapping Bai Zhi's only coat around her, and his eyes fell on her feet.

A pair of beautiful jade feet are covered with deep and shallow wounds. The wounds stung by sea urchins have not completely healed. It must have only been two or three days since they were blown to this island by the strong wind.

He gently cleaned Bai Zhi's feet, and the gentle tickling woke up Bai Zhi.

Meng Ying put on a faint smile and said, "Sleep a little longer? It's quite safe here. The fruits picked yesterday should be enough for one day. Sa Lan needs to find some food..."

Bai Zhi panicked when she heard this. She grabbed Meng Ying's wrist and said, "Are you going alone? What if you get lost? I'll go with you!"

Meng Ying frowned, "Look at your feet. They are full of wounds. If they are injured again, new wounds and old wounds will be repeated over and over again, and they will fester."

Bai Zhi's lips pursed. She was a little afraid of being alone, but Meng Ying was right. They only had one pair of shoes. Her feet were bruised yesterday by stones and branches, and it was indeed painful. Someone always has to take on the task of finding food, and she is now a burden to Meng Ying.

She sighed, "Then don't go too far...and don't leave for too long...the two of us still have a way...if we get separated..."

"No, I won't get separated from you!" Meng Ying smiled at her, her eyes firm.

Bai Zhi nodded towards him.

Meng Ying rubbed her disheveled hair and said, "Wait until I come back."

Meng Ying only wore a pair of thin trousers, her upper body was bare, and she left with some pebbles suitable for throwing and two straight branches.

How can Bai Zhi fall asleep!

Full of dangerous environments and unknown fears, she began to build their wall, finding stones of acceptable shape little by little, and slowly piling them up.

At least two people have a small den, which can be defended against wild beasts.

She would stop when she was tired, but as soon as she stopped, she began to worry about Meng Ying. What should she do if something unexpected happened in the woods?

She has a very rich imagination, and she can't help but think about being bitten by a poisonous snake, being strangled and devoured by a giant python, or being crushed to death by a wild boar, bears, tigers, cheetahs, maned dogs, etc. Cannibals!

Omg!

The more I think about it, the scarier it becomes!

The fruit picked yesterday was only enough for one meal. After eating, Bai Zhi felt panicked when she looked at the empty nest.

It’s a feeling of fear that you’ve had your last meal but haven’t had your next meal yet!

There is fresh water on the island, and their small stone nest is also near the water source. Bai Zhi carefully went out for a walk to see if there was anything to eat nearby.

There were some aquatic plants growing by the water. I didn’t know whether Angelica dahuricae could be eaten, so I picked them according to their good taste, and also picked some familiar herbs.

After walking for a while, I found something new. It was a soapberry tree full of fruits. Angelica dahurica was very happy. This thing is similar to soap locust. It can be rubbed into rich foam, which can be used to wash clothes and hair. Hair is also good.

She happily picked a lot of them, carried them with leaves, and carried them back to their little stone nest.

It can be said to be a full harvest!

It was getting dark and Meng Ying hadn't returned yet. Bai Zhi was watching there. She felt like a woman waiting for her husband to come home. She was about to become a husband-watching stone!

The darker it got, the more panicked she felt.

Could there be any accident?

Just as she was thinking about it, she felt itching all over her body. Bai Zhi raised her hand and saw that her arm and wrist were red and there was a small rash.

Is there something I'm allergic to? She was just itchy at first, but she was worried about Meng Ying, so she didn't pay attention. Now that she noticed it, the itching became even more uncomfortable. She kept reaching out to scratch it, and kept scratching it. The skin was broken and it was burning, painful and itchy!

At the same time, the sun has set, and Meng Ying still hasn’t returned!

Bai Zhi became anxious, restless, scratching her heart and lungs.

What a paradise, isolated from the world, whoever believes in it will be in bad luck!

Being separated from human society, even safety cannot be guaranteed, so how can we talk about happiness?

The fear of the unknown burned in her heart again, and she was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

The last ray of sunshine was swallowed up by darkness, Bai Zhi went crazy!

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and Bai Zhi shouted, "Meng Ying! Is that you?"

Her voice was urgent and panicked, which frightened Meng Ying into panic. He responded and ran towards Bai Zhi, "Zhi'er! It's me!"

Meng Ying ran back like crazy, dropped the prey in her hands, and caught Bai Zhi who jumped over. Her chest was breathing violently and could not calm down for a long time.

"What happened?" Meng Ying checked Bai Zhi's body and breathed a sigh of relief as there were no major wounds.

"It's okay, I'm just scared, I just miss you..." Bai Zhi hugged Meng Ying and said aggrievedly.

She still wanted to be pretentious, but she heard that the smell of blood on Meng Ying's body was very strong. Bai Zhi hurriedly used the firelight to check, and was horrified to see that there were countless injuries all over her body, scratched by branches and bitten by wild beasts.

"You! There are injuries all over your body!" Bai Zhi said angrily.

"It's just a minor injury." Meng Ying was talking, but she noticed the rash on Bai Zhi's hand and frowned, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Bai Zhi explained to him, but she didn't expect that the usually gentle Meng Ying would become angry. He yelled, "Didn't I tell you to stay here and not go anywhere? Do you know how dangerous it is outside? No. If you’re careful, you’ll die!”

Meng Ying rarely spoke so loudly to her, and she was at a loss when she yelled. She said sarcastically: "I... can't always wait here for you to come back, can I?"

"Why not? This forest is full of venomous snakes, flying insects, and bears! There are countless huge pits in the swamp!" Meng Ying's eyes turned red and her voice trembled. This island was more dangerous than he imagined.

Meng Ying's mood swings were still violent, which made Bai Zhi feel aggrieved. "Even so, am I okay? Can you just say no? Why are you yelling?"

After Bai Zhi yelled, she turned around and went to deal with the prey brought back by Meng Ying, ignoring Meng Ying at all.

Meng Ying was speechless for a moment, feeling a little guilty. He was really too excited just now, and he was too scared, afraid that she would make any mistake.

He walked over, took Bai Zhi's hand, and looked distressed, "Is it still itchy?"

Bai Zhi snorted and tried to shrink back, but was held back by Meng Ying, "I'm sorry, it's Sa Lan's fault. Sa Lan shouldn't yell at you..."

"I'm yelling! Go away, I don't want to care about you!" Bai Zhi was still angry, but she stuffed the picked herbs into Meng Ying's hands, "Take care of it yourself!"

Meng Ying looked at the herbs in her hand and her heart felt hot, "But Salan's back is also injured...it hurts..."

Bai Zhi: "..."

After cleaning the wound and having a good meal, Meng Ying told her about the dangers she encountered today, which made Bai Zhi frightened.

In short, no traces of human existence have been found on this island.

At night, Meng Ying was exhausted and went to bed early.

Still no quilt, still keeping each other warm.

Meng Ying whispered in Bai Zhi's ear, "Zhi'er, Sa Lan will take you out of here..."

He kept repeating this sentence.

Bai Zhi responded to him, "I know."

"But... Zhi'er, before you leave, during this period, can you not put yourself in danger? Your injuries haven't healed yet, so I will be worried..."

Bai Zhi hesitated, "We can't let you bear everything by yourself, right?"

"Leave everything to Sa Lan, I will protect you... As long as you don't get hurt at all, Sa Lan begs you..."

Meng Ying pleaded in her ear.

Of course Bai Zhi didn't want to get hurt, she just wanted to share the burden, but Meng Ying begged like this, so she had no choice but to agree, "Okay."
