Chapter 149 Leisure Island Trip
Chapter 149 Leisure Island Trip
Yaoguang picked up some dead branches, made a fire with some stones, and then placed the pot she brought on top.
Although she was here for vacation, Yaoguang didn't plan to just rest. She planned to look around the island and learn about the vegetation and animals here.
During the whole day, Yaoguang chased off several giant lizards that tried to eat her and beat them back to their nests. She then watched a large red turtle laying eggs. She followed the various brightly feathered birds on the island and jumped onto the trees.
He tasted a variety of fruits and picked some sweet fruits to bring back for Sun to try.
As the orange-red sunset in the west was about to fall over the blue coastline, Yaoguang dragged a huge package woven with vines and branches and walked towards the place where she had built her house.
When she reached the front of the house, Yaoguang piled the fruits aside and looked around.
Finally locked on a direction.
"I see you, come out."
Yaoguang's gaze fell on a haystack. The grass there was half a person's height, dense and complicated, blocking much of her view.
As Yaoguang walked over, a man suddenly jumped out from the haystack.
A woman with disheveled hair, dark skin and tattered clothes stood up.
The woman looked to be in her twenties. She looked a little flustered when she saw Yaoguang, and spoke with a not-so-standard Dajin accent: "I have no ill intentions. I was just washed here by the waves."
"I know." Yaoguang's expression was calm.
When she came, she had seen the entire island, and she was sure that there was no one else on the island except her.
This island is not hers, and Yaoguang has no intention of driving her away.
As for hostility, Yaoguang had even less.
Hostility is only shown to enemies who are qualified to compete with you. Although the woman in front of you has muscles, she is too weak and not dangerous at all.
The woman didn't seem to expect Yaoguang to be so direct. She found her the first thing she did when she came back and knew where she was hiding.
There is no need to say so many words or do so many things.
"My name is Xiaohai...what about you?" The woman tried to strike up a conversation with Yaoguang.
Yaoguang also replied with her own name in a friendly manner: "Yaoguang."
"Yaoguang?" Xiao Hai read in her poor Dajin dialect. She couldn't quite understand the meaning of the word, but in her opinion, it was already very impressive that such a young girl could live on this island alone and bring back so much food.
What's more, her Dajin dialect was very standard. She should be a noble living in the city, so why was she here?
Xiao Hai didn't care whether Yaoguang wanted to listen or not, and introduced himself directly.
She was a fisherwoman by the sea, raised by a fisherman, and she ate whatever the fisherman caught. Over time, Xiao Hai also became a fishing expert, and she could get a lot every time she came home.
When Xiaohai was sixteen, she got engaged to a man from the next village. His family was also fishermen, but unlike Xiaohai's fishing boat, theirs was a big boat that could hold many people.
The owner of the boat is a lord from the city, and they all work on the boat. Each time they go out to sea, they stay for at least ten days to half a month, and at most a month, and they often have a great harvest.
However, Xiaohai's man's salary is not high and he does heavy work.
Speaking of their meeting, it was during a sea voyage. The man saw Xiao Hai from afar on the boat and was so happy that he married Xiao Hai.
After Xiaohai got married, she envied the big ship very much and wanted to go on her husband's ship to take a look.
Xiao Hai's man agreed to her request and secretly dressed her up as a man and took her upstairs.
Because Xiaohai is tall and strong, and is exposed to the wind and sun all day long, her skin color is much darker than that of ordinary women, and no one recognizes her when she dresses up a little.
I went there once...
It just so happened that the sailing conditions were not very good that time. The ship hit a reef on the seabed, creating a huge hole and almost killing people.
After finally returning, Xiao Hai gave up the idea of taking a big ship.
But somehow, her husband was reported for bringing a woman there, breaking the rules of the industry.
There is an unspoken rule among those doing business on the ship that women are not allowed on board, because women are unlucky and will bring bad luck.
In order to protect her, her man was tied to a rock and sunk to the bottom of the sea.
So the husband's family drove Xiao Hai out. As for revenge, they didn't dare to do it at all. The owner of the ship was a high-ranking official, and they didn't dare to offend him, not to mention that they were in the wrong in this matter.
They also felt that Xiaohai should not have been on board, as this broke the rules at sea.
In order to get revenge, Xiao Hai spent all his savings to buy a small boat. He secretly disguised himself and followed the big ship out to sea. Then he approached the ship at dark, climbed on board, sneaked into the cabin, and sank the ship.
Xiao Hai didn't know what happened to the people on the boat. It was too chaotic and dark at that time. Xiao Hai found a piece of wood and clung to it tightly. When daybreak came, she was the only one on the sea, drifting with the waves for the whole day.
Finally we arrived here when it was getting dark.
Xiao Hai struggled to speak these words. Because she didn't speak Dajin dialect often, she spoke incoherently and her voice was a little hoarse. There was no fresh water in the sea. She hadn't drunk any water for a whole day. The blood from her dry lips had already formed scabs.
Seeing her eyes on the fruit she brought back, Yaoguang took the initiative to split a coconut for her and handed it to her: "Drink it."
Xiao Hai took the coconut and was delighted to see the water inside: "Thank you... Thank you!"
She picked up the coconut and ate tons and tons.
Soon, one coconut was empty.
She examined the coconut shell, looked at the fruit in her hand with shining eyes, and then cast her gaze on the other fruits.
Yaoguang probably understood what she meant, and split a few more coconuts for her. Finally, she drank from four coconuts.
Xiao Hai told Yao Guang with a smile on his face: "Thank you, I am full."
"It's getting late, do you want to eat?" Yaoguang continued to ask.
Xiao Hai was a little flattered, and she nodded. After discovering that there was a house here, she saw Yaoguang's pot at the first time.
I have to say that the pot is very beautiful. She has never seen such a beautiful iron pot even in the largest shop in the city. It looks small and light, and very convenient to take away.
"Let me help you!" Xiao Hai offered. She is good at cooking and she cooks all the meals at home!
"No need, I'll do it myself." Yaoguang said.
She had never tasted seafood before, and this time, she wanted to try it herself.
Yaoguang jumped directly into the sea, swam around, and brought back a lot of fish and shrimp.
She dug a hole next to the beach, threw the fish and shrimp into it, cleaned it with sea water, and then took out the bucket she had placed next to her.
