Chapter 476

Several large chunks of the giant sea turtle meat were torn open at once, and both Liu Rushi and Qing'er each received a big piece.

Only then did he take a piece for himself and begin to eat.

As for whether the taste was truly exquisite, that was certainly doubtful.

After all, there were no Seasonings.

However, since they were utterly starving, having food now, and meat at that, they did not pick and choose; instead, they found it quite good.

A sea turtle the size of a washbasin could be considered enormous.

At the very least, three people ate it in one go, feeling their bellies full and extremely satisfied.

"Mmm, it's so good to be full; before, 0.3 really starved me to death!"

Qing'er patted her small belly and said while leaning close to Liu Rushi.

Su Qiao and Liu Rushi also nodded. "Mm, heaven never seals off all exits; ultimately, our luck was quite good. First we encountered Haidao, then we found food; for a short time, danger has stayed away from us!"

"Mm, I also don't know if we can still return."

"Believe me, we will definitely return; even if we cannot return, we can still live well."

Su Qiao comforted Liu Rushi.

With Su Qiao present, the two women felt extremely at ease.

It is easy to feel sleepy after eating one's fill.

Especially today, they were truly exhausted beyond measure.

Liu Rushi and Qing'er could truly fall asleep the moment they closed their eyes.

Su Qiao let them lie down inside the straw pile to rest.

He also specifically adjusted the bonfire, then set up a warning trap at the cave entrance before lying down to sleep.

331, are there pirates on the island?

A sleepless night!

Originally, the night should have been very cold due to the sea breeze, but because Su Qiao had prepared in advance,

he had spread quite a bit of dry straw inside the cave and started a fire.

So it was still very warm inside the cave.

The three of them did not freeze awake or fall ill.

At least when Su Qiao got up, the sun was already high in the sky!

The warning trap set at the cave entrance last night showed no signs of being triggered.

One could say the night was calm and peaceful; the three of Su Qiao rested very well and recovered quite a bit of energy.

Not long after Su Qiao woke up, the two women also woke up.

The fire at the cave entrance had already become very weak.

Su Qiao hurriedly added some dry leaves, plus dry straw, and also added some branches and sticks.

Slowly, he coaxed the fire back to life.

Fire was the safety guarantee for Su Qiao and the others while they rested at night!

Moreover, it was an indispensable thing.

It could not be allowed to go out like that.

Once the fire was up, Su Qiao finally let out a sigh of relief.

Liu Rushi and Qing'er rarely woke up late at 28.

The two women still woke up after Su Qiao had risen; seeing him, they felt somewhat embarrassed.

"There are no outsiders here; what is there to be embarrassed about? I just got up too. Waking up late is because we were simply too tired; the body needs time to recover, which is very normal. If you do get up, pay attention to the fire, then go nearby to gather some firewood; it will still be needed at night. I will go look and see if there is anything else we need."

While speaking, Su Qiao cracked open three of the remaining four coconuts, then divided them equally.

Still one for each person.

Currently, there were only those seven coconut trees ahead of them, and the number of coconuts on the trees was also limited.

Before the coconuts were exhausted, they had to find a source of fresh water as soon as possible.

Now the sun had already been up for quite a long time.

The daytime is not long; he needed to explore.

After greeting the two women, Su Qiao first went back to the coconut trees, then brought down four coconuts.

He told Liu Rushi and her servant to stay near the cave, gather firewood, and watch the fire.

He himself took a sturdy wooden stick, sharpened one end quite a bit to serve as a makeshift spear, and then cautiously ventured into the shrubbery inside the island.

Eh?

Su Qiao had walked a few steps when he heard the sound of birds chirping.

Last night, he had been busy the whole time, neither listening carefully nor observing closely.

Now, as Su Qiao entered the shrubbery and was about to enter the woods, he discovered numerous traces of mammals.

These traces included those of rabbits, as well as goats or deer.

He had judged them all by comparing them with wilderness survival videos from his previous life.

On such an island, the presence of these animal traces proves that there must be fresh water in their living environment!

Without fresh water, how would they live later on?

Moreover, the presence of these animals also indicates that Su Qiao and the others could absolutely survive here.

Su Qiao cautiously followed these animal traces.

The reason for his caution was that since there were goats and deer and such, the Nanbaobu Society might also have wolves.

It would be quite difficult for him alone to deal with wild wolves.

Suddenly!

Su Qiao paused mid-step; he saw that there really were rabbits in the grass not far away.

Moreover, Su Qiao heard the sound of a babbling stream.

How far is this from the seaside?

Su Qiao roughly estimated in his mind; he had walked for at least a quarter-hour.

It was not too far, after all.

As for catching rabbits, forget it for now.

Su Qiao did not think he had the skill; the only way to catch rabbits or such was to set traps or the like.

So he could not dwell on the rabbits now.

Instead, he turned his head toward the direction from which the stream's sound came.

Temporarily marking the spot where the wild rabbit tracks were, Su Qiao deliberately scratched a line on the trunk of a nearby large tree with a stone.

Only then did he stride toward the stream.

Ho!

Not far on, Su Qiao saw the stream; the water was not very large, but extremely clear, and one could even see traces of freshwater fish and shrimp inside.

However, they were all quite small.

Presumably, the larger ones would be in the pool upstream.

Only, Su Qiao did not know exactly where that pool was upstream, nor how far away it was.

Mainly because he had spotted something good!

Yes, something good!

Su Qiao looked up and saw a bamboo grove.

To say bamboo is truly good: it can be used to build houses, make tables, chairs, and stools, and also make bamboo baskets, bamboo-tube rice, drinking vessels, fishing rods, and so on.

Simply too versatile!

Even more importantly, bamboo shoots are edible!

If only there were bamboo rats too; with bamboo rats, one could eat meat.

Just now, he had been thinking that.

He had discovered fresh water, but had no vessel to hold it.

Now with bamboo, the problem was solved at once.

Without a second thought, Su Qiao cupped his hands and drank several big mouthfuls of water, finally no longer feeling thirsty.

Afterwards, he found rocks to smash around for fun.
