Celestial Masters Alliance

Finding that there was no danger on the island, I unconsciously relaxed my vigilance and joked: "It should be easy to bring fresh water from the top of the mountain to the boat."

Huang Xiao smiled and responded: "Is that possible?" He gestured with his fingers as if he was about to dig a water channel.

I don’t know why, but ever since I arrived on the island, I always felt that Huang Xiao was a little nervous. For example, the smile he gave me in response was obviously not from the heart, and it couldn’t be said to be perfunctory.

"You can't drink that water!" Zhang Lingxi said gloomily.

"Why? I visually inspected the water to be very clean!" I caught up two steps and stared at Zhang Lingxi and asked.

"Listen to me!" He said solemnly, looking directly into my eyes with a serious expression.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, I have learned more or less how to get along with fat people. If they are unwilling to talk, no matter how you try to talk to them, there will be no result. But when they want to say something, as long as they introduce the topic, they will deliver the answer to their door. Therefore, I concluded that in the current situation it would be best to change the subject.

"The lake water can't be used, so where else can we go to find water. This island can be visited in two hours. Is there any corner that we haven't searched?" I turned sideways and deliberately let Zhang Lingxi walk in front of me.

"The lake water can't be used anyway!" He muttered again in a low voice.

I sighed in my heart and walked side by side with Huang Xiao. Huang Xiao said in a flattering manner: "I saw a lot of fruits on the trees. There are some tools on the boat that can be used. Let's get some and see if we can eat them."

I looked up at the thick and straight tree trunk and found that the smooth tree trunk was covered with water droplets. The fine water droplets gathered together and could no longer bear the load and slid down the tree trunk and were submerged in the moss on the ground. I casually touched a handful on the nearby tree pole. It was surprisingly cold, even biting, like a can of Coke just taken out of the refrigerator.

"There is water!" I shouted happily.

Zhang Lingxi only glanced back hurriedly, without even stopping, and walked towards the ship in a panic. Huang Xiao was very cooperative with me, stroking the water drops seeping out of the tree trunks and shouting: "It's fresh water, it's better than using distillation to get fresh water." After that, he visually inspected our position and began to collect the dry tracts under the tree. Ye Zi: "However, we still need to bring some fuel back. After all, we still need to make a fire for cooking."

I also helped to collect the leaves. Zhang Lingxi had already returned to the boat. He called out to the fat man, and the person who responded seemed to be Ma Tiantong, because the fat man always only wore blue-gray T-shirts and was not as dressy as the two of them.

When I was wondering if Zhang Lingxi and Ma Tiantong were going to quarrel now, the fat man came out from behind the tree dragging a pile of leaves. Without saying a word, he directly dragged the leaves I piled together with Huang Xiao's. gone. Before leaving, he glanced at Huang Xiao and asked, "Are you sure?"

Huang Xiao glanced in my direction and nodded. The fat man also looked at me, said "Yeah", dragged the leaves and said loudly without looking back: "Pick more."

Huang Xiao responded. Seeing the fat man walking away, I quickly walked up to Huang Xiao and asked, "What are you sure about?"

Huang Xiao grinned and said, "If we can't find anything to eat, we're going to cook you."

"Cut!" I gave Huang Xiao a hard swipe with my elbow, which hit him right in the ribs. I was satisfied to see the bastard grinning in pain.

Fatty had already discovered the secret of the strange tree while the three of us were wandering around the island. He used a knife to carve a small hole in the tree trunk, inserted a plastic straw into the hole, and connected the bucket we just drank from under the straw. Most of the bucket was filled with light white water.

I put the collected leaves and those brought back by the fat man into a pile. The fat man also collected a lot of fruits from the trees. I picked up a fruit and took a closer look. The watermelon-sized fruit was light in weight and had a hard shell like a walnut. , also full of patterns. I shook it vigorously and found that the inside of the fruit was solid.

The fat man found another bucket from the boat and replaced the one under the tree that collected water. I picked up the bowl that the fat man had placed next to the fruit and scooped out a little of the light white water in the bucket to taste. The water is cold, sweet and slightly salty, a bit like coconut water.

The fat man took a machete and opened the fruit. The inside of the fruit was white and moist, like fresh grapefruit peel. The fat man dug out a large piece from the fruit with a knife and put it in his mouth to taste. Seeing me staring at him blankly, he dug out another large piece and handed it to me. I carefully took off the pulp from the tip of the knife and took a bite. It tasted like northern steamed buns, with a hint of sweetness and the aroma of malt.

"Yeah! It's delicious!" I sighed.

The fat man glanced at me and smiled faintly. This was the first time I saw a fat man smile. I always thought that his nervous system did not include the expression of laughter. To express my reward for the first time he smiled at me, I said more eloquently: "Even if the ship cannot be repaired, we will not die of hunger."

The fat man nodded and said, "As long as you don't touch the lake on the top of the mountain, you'll be fine!"

Zhang Lingxi has already introduced the lake on the top of the mountain to Fatty. Just now I saw Fatty coming down from the cockpit, and Zhang Lingxi and Ma Tiantong gathered there for a meeting. I noticed that the fat man used the word "you" in this sentence. He specifically pointed at me. Why?

I was about to ask the fat man for confirmation, "Why did you come back first! Let me drag such a big pile of things by myself." Huang Xiao yelled and dragged a pile of leaves over, raising fine dust.

I quickly covered the top of the bucket and said, "I want to tell Fatty quickly that there are water droplets leaking out of the tree pole! But for a smart guy like Fatty, there is no need for me to remind him." As I said that, I scooped out the water in the bucket. The bowl was handed to Huang Xiao.

Huang Xiao pretended to be carefree and took it, drank it all in one gulp, and burped loudly: "It smells like coconut water, but this thing shouldn't be used for bathing."

"Hmph! It's good to have some to eat and some to drink. Do you still want to have a 24-hour supply of hot water?" As I said that, I took the fruit from the fat man's hand and dug out a piece for Huang Xiao.

Ma Tiantong stood on the bow of the ship without the railing and waved to us. The fat man stood up and took two steps forward before patting the sand on his pants. I quickly chased after him and looked back at Huang Xiao. He was already lying on the ground unwilling to move.

Zhang Lingxi moved things out from the lower deck again and again. Ma Tiantong tied a large plastic basket to the rope and used it to replace the elevator, and transported things down from the ship again and again. I helped the fat man unload and found that they were all brackets, boilers, and containers. After sorting them out for a long time, I finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you trying to make the fruits into easy-to-carry food?"

The fat man paused for a moment, looked directly at me and said, "It's dark and we need to hunt."

"Hunting? There is nothing here!" I suddenly thought of the shark feathers and the Dingshen pestle. Fatty and the others came to the island for these two things. That means the sharks will appear here after dark.

"There will be!" Fatty said simply.

After Ma Tiantong finished transporting all the things, he stepped on the ladder to the ground and helped Fatty start installing the components. I wanted help from the side, but I couldn't help.

There was a "plop" from the stern of the boat, and I ran to look around. It turned out that Zhang Lingxi had jumped into the sea. He had erected several steel bars in the shoal and was busy going back and forth between the steel bars. Seeing that there was nothing I could do to help, I simply returned to Huang Xiao and collapsed, looking up at the sky. Huang Xiao was already asleep, snoring lightly. I remembered that Huang Xiao didn't snore at sea. Maybe he started to get sick when he returned to land.

It's already 23 o'clock Beijing time. I don't know when the dark will come as the fat man said, but the sky that was originally full of red clouds has begun to change. The red clouds are split irregularly by the golden light, and they are broken into pieces. Split into various shapes, against the golden light, the red clouds began to turn gray and gradually dimmed. The light also gradually dimmed with the red glow.

Ma Tiantong and Fatty have completed the construction and built something tall like a lookout tower. The boiler has been completed and a fire has been lit. Ma Tiantong brought buckets of water from the sea and kept washing the huge rusty iron pot. This is the first time I have seen such a big iron pot, even for cooking in the school cafeteria. Never used the "bathtub".

Zhang Lingxi had already returned to the ship and now changed her clothes and got off the deck. He nodded to the fat man and then walked towards me and Huang Xiao. Ma Tiantong was surprisingly quiet today. He followed Zhang Lingxi in a tacit understanding and sat aside to drink water and eat in silence. Ma Tiantong's quietness makes me feel weird. It's rare for the two of them to stay together without quarreling. Could it be that their brains are damaged?

The atmosphere was a bit solemn. No one spoke, and only the sound of chewing could be heard. I felt that they were all extremely nervous. Is it dangerous to arrest the shark?
