Pampering the sea

Chu Zhiling glanced at the man who was rescued by Xin Yue, and saw that his face was as pale as jade, weak and handsome, and said to him, "Throw him here."

Xin Yue glanced at Chu Zhiling, she was so weak that she could only throw the man on the beach, and said lightly, "Inhumane."

"Madam forgot that I'm a pirate, I only kill people but not save people." Seeing her like this, Chu Zhiling was in a good mood for no reason, so he teased.

Chu Zhiling stepped forward, looked down at Xin Yue, and said in a discussing tone, "If Madam kisses me, I'll save him."

Xin Yue retreated: "Then you should kill him."

At this moment, the man coughed twice, then woke up.

Xin Yue couldn't help cursing, why didn't she wake up earlier, it cost her so much effort.

The man moved his eyes from Xin Yue to behind her, and when he saw Chu Zhiling, a sharpness that was not easy to catch flashed in his eyes, which was quickly covered up.

Chu Zhiling was looking down at the man sitting on the ground, seeing that his demeanor was not like the usual weak young man, and his face seemed familiar, so he couldn't help but frowned slightly thinking.

When he was concentrating on thinking, a small snow-white hand put on Chu Zhiling's shoulder, and he lowered his head. In front of him was Xin Yue's face with a still calm expression. Xin Yue was about 1.7 meters tall, but in front of Chu Zhiling, he looked like a slut. Very slender and petite, she only reached his chest, patted his shoulder and raised her head, "Stand lower."

Chu Zhiling didn't know what Xin Yue was going to do, but he still bent down slightly, only to see Xin Yue stand on tiptoe, approached slightly, and touched Chu Zhiling's delicate and smooth chin with his mouth. Suddenly, during Chu Zhiling's breath, It seems to be the fragrant and sweet breath of a girl. When you smell it carefully, it seems to carry the light cherry blossom fragrance of the ancient capital of Japan.

Chu Zhiling was in a daze, but saw Xin Yue move his lips: "Okay, we can save him now."

Looking at the man, Chu Zhiling's originally good mood suddenly turned sour.

But because of the promise he made to Xin Yue earlier that he could save this man by kissing himself, Chu Zhiling asked him condescendingly, "Do you want to live?"

The man looked up at him, coughed, and nodded slightly: "Think."

He hooked a slightly evil smile: "Then you have to listen to me."

Pointing to the pile of matches, he asked, "Go, light me a fire."

The man barely stood up, staggered unsteadily, fiddled with the matches for a long time, and finally said: "I don't know how to do it."

Chu Zhiling seemed to know that he would answer in this way, so he squatted down and picked up the bow beside him. It was a flexible, strong green wooden stick with a diameter of about one inch and a length of eighteen to twenty-four inches. .

Chu Zhiling bent it into a half-moon shape, and fastened it with a cloth strap that seemed to be torn from a sailboat. He stepped on a wooden board with his shoe to hold it in place. The pointed V-shaped stick has been tied to the cloth strap string. He put a palm-sized stone on top of the stick and pressed it down. Mouth friction, under the small mouth of the board, there are sawdust the size of cotton balls.

After a while, the sawdust started to burn, and Chu Zhiling moved the smoking kindling to the hole dug under the firewood. After a while, the dry firewood was ignited.

This is actually a very simple device, but the man didn't know anything about it or even know where to start.Chu Zhiling can probably guess his identity, either he is a scholar who only reads the books of sages and sages, or he is a nobleman or a son of a rich family who opens his mouth and stretches out his hands when he eats. Judging from this man's temperament, other than these two possibilities Nothing else.

Chu Zhiling clapped his hands gracefully, the man's eyes were indeed a little dull, as if he was overwhelmed by Chu Zhiling's magic-like method of quickly setting fire to fire.Chu Zhiling brought up an irregular pot filled with sea water, put a clean cloth on the inside of the wooden pot lid and covered it, let the fire boil, and said to the man, "Look clearly at how I made the fire Is it?" That iron pot was painstakingly made by Chu Zhiling from the scrap iron collected from the sunken ship.

The man nodded upon hearing that.

Chu Zhiling handed the man a big shell, and said concisely: "Fill it with sea water."

Hearing the tone of Chu Zhiling's order, the man's eyes flashed an unknown gloomy streamer, and after being slightly stunned, he obediently ran to the distant seaside.

Xin Yue knew that Chu Zhiling was using the modern distillation method to extract seawater, because there were basically no freshwater resources on the island, so he often boiled the water, and then twisted the desalinated water droplets adsorbed on the cloth towel into a wooden barrel middle.Although this method of fetching water is feasible, it consumes a lot of heat energy. Once the trees on the island are cut down, fresh water cannot be obtained, and there is only a small forest on the island. In the past few days, the fire has already consumed a large piece.

Moreover, Chu Zhiling is a bit grotesquely picky, he must get some tables and chairs, and make them exquisitely and exquisitely, and the wooden bowl for eating is also carved with thin metal sheets to carve patterns of flowers and plants, Xin Yue can't help but think of it The exquisite interior decoration of his huge luxury ship combines the essence of East and West.

There was a circle of exquisite flying bird patterns on the wooden bucket filled with water by the fire. Xin Yue secretly thought that if Chu Zhiling didn't become a pirate, he would probably become a carpenter.

As a result of being so fond of making wood products, the area of ​​the grove has shrunk a bit.

Facing the current situation where resources are becoming more and more depleted, Xin Yue sometimes wonders if this man will kill him.After all, the resources to survive are limited, even normal people would kill their companions in order to protect themselves, let alone a ruthless big pirate like him.

"I have a sore back, come on, ma'am, rub it for me." He smiled and waved to her.

Xin Yue was slightly taken aback, but walked forward out of some considerations.

She put her hands on the man's broad and warm shoulders, and kneaded them gently.

Chu Zhiling seemed surprised that Xin Yue was so obedient, and smiled: "It's nice to have a wife."

----

In the evening, when the tide was high, Chu Zhiling and Xin Yue went fishing on the island and prepared dinner.

Thinking of something, Chu Zhiling said, "Today I will take a bath with you no matter what."

Unsurprisingly, Xin Yue glanced at Chu Zhiling lightly, with a faint smile: "Do you want me to ignore you again?"

Chu Zhiling looked at the frail man who was panting with exhaustion not far away, and stopped speaking, but not speaking did not mean compromising to Xin Yue.
