The five of them were quite comfortable and naturally in the mood to chat and laugh.
"Su Mei, Hao Da carried you back just now. Did you enjoy being on his strong back?" Qí Yíngyíng teased with a wicked grin while toasting her fish.
"Qí Yíngyíng, what are you talking about? Hao Da carried me because I sprained my ankle!" Sū Mèi replied, her pretty face flushing.
"Su Mei and I hadn't been in the woods for long when Su Mei was almost bitten by a poisonous snake! She sprained her ankle by accident due to the great fright!" Hǎo Dà explained with a serious expression.
"There are poisonous snakes in the woods! Damn it!" Qí Yíngyíng exclaimed in surprise, showing a clear look of fear.
"Yes! A five-colored one! It looked highly venomous! The snake suddenly lunged to bite me! I was almost scared to death! Fortunately, Hao Da reacted quickly! He whipped it away with a rod!" Sū Mèi said, still trembling with lingering fear, and unconsciously patted her proud chest, causing a beautiful ripple.
"Then you are truly lucky to be alive!" Chē Yán replied earnestly, "If you had been bitten by that venomous snake, with no medicine on this deserted island, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"It's best to go into those woods as little as possible!" Liǔ Yìjiāo also offered her opinion, inwardly thankful that she hadn't lost the rock paper scissors game earlier, otherwise, she would have been the one almost bitten to death by the poisonous snake!
"When the hell will the rescue team arrive?! This damn deserted island! I don't want to stay here for another second!" Qí Yíngyíng couldn't help but let loose and curse!
"We should be prepared for a maximum of seven days," Chē Yán said, looking at the sky.
"Seven days?! What will we eat and drink?!" Qí Yíngyíng cried out!
"We can only take it one step at a time. Let's hope the rescue team arrives soon!" Hǎo Dà said objectively.
By this time, most of their fish were cooked. The hungry group no longer thought about other things and focused intently on eating their respective grilled fish.
Although there wasn't much salt, everyone ate with gusto!
However, the fish weren't large, so it wasn't long before all five had finished their fish, licking even the bones clean!
If fish bones could be eaten, they probably would have eaten them too!
Strictly speaking, fish bones could be eaten if they were roasted until crispy.
But it was only the first day the five of them were stranded on the deserted island, and they weren't so desperate yet to eat crispy fish bones.
"After eating a fish, I'm not as hungry as before, but I'm still a bit thirsty!" Qí Yíngyíng said, looking at the other four.
"I'm thirsty too. There was stream water where we caught the fish, but we don't have any containers to hold water," Sū Mèi said.
"I brought some water, but not much," Hǎo Dà said, pointing to a long T-shirt that had been soaked in stream water earlier, resting on the metal plate.
"A long T-shirt for collecting water, good idea!" Chē Yán praised, "Squeezing out the water should be just enough for the five of us to quench our thirst, but this water must be boiled before drinking!"
"Right! We can't drink that stream water directly, it needs to be boiled!" Liǔ Yìjiāo agreed.
"Then what will we use to boil it?" Qí Yíngyíng asked.
"I'll get some more metal plates from the plane wreckage. With enough metal plates, we should be able to make a square metal pot," Hǎo Dà said, standing up, and then strode towards the plane wreckage.
"Hao Da, thank you for your hard work!" Sū Mèi said sweetly.
"Thank you!" Chē Yán and Liǔ Yìjiāo also called out to Hao Da's retreating figure.
"It's no trouble!" Hǎo Dà replied with a smile.
Soon, he returned with quite a few relatively large metal plates. He then assembled a few of them, bending and shaping them, and finally managed to create a crude, somewhat odd-looking but leak-proof small square pot suitable for heating water.
Next, he placed several similarly sized stones in the fire pit, placed the small square pot on top of the stones, and then wrung the water absorbed by the long T-shirt into the small pot. Sū Mèi, Chē Yán, Liǔ Yìjiāo, and Qí Yíngyíng, the four great beauties, watched with shining eyes, all waiting for this bit of water to boil and quench their thirst!
Since the total amount of water in the small pot was only about one cup, it boiled quickly! Hǎo Dà used the wet T-shirt to move the pot aside to cool. After it was slightly less hot, Qí Yíngyíng was the first to take a small sip. She originally wanted to drink more, but if she did, there would be none left for the others, so she forced herself to take only her small share.
As a pampered rich young lady, after taking a small sip of boiled water, although it slightly quenched her thirst, she couldn't help but scream inwardly! Oh heavens! What sins had she committed! To only be able to drink such a small amount even for water! Hurry up, rescue team! She was going crazy!
After Qí Yíngyíng took a sip, Sū Mèi, Liǔ Yìjiāo, and Chē Yán each took a sip in turn. At this point, no one cared about the hygiene of sharing a small pot, quenching thirst was the most important thing! Dehydration kills faster than starvation!
Finally, there was a small amount of water left. Hǎo Dà drank it all with apparent enjoyment, not minding at all. This was boiled water mixed with the sweet saliva of the four great beauties present!
"Hao Da, why does your expression look strange?" Sū Mèi couldn't help but ask when she saw Hǎo Dà's faint strange smile after drinking the water.
"Because I had the honor of tasting the sweet saliva of all four of you!" Hǎo Dà said with a wicked grin.
"Ah! Pervert!" The Four Great Beauties exclaimed in unison!
Qí Yíngyíng and Sū Mèi, sitting on either side of him, pinched him hard in annoyance. The scene was filled with laughter, which greatly eased the frustration of having only been able to drink a small sip of water when they were thirsty!
But after the laughter, the harsh reality of survival still lay before the five of them!
"What do we do next?" Sū Mèi said sweetly, "We'll probably be hungry and thirsty again soon!"
"I'll go to the stream again to get some fish and water. I'll go alone this time!" Hǎo Dà said, standing up with great responsibility.
"Hao Da!" Sū Mèi looked at him with emotion, her beautiful eyes slightly moist.
"Hao Da, you're amazing! If we get rescued, I'll transfer a million to thank you!" The rich young lady Qí Yíngyíng said excitedly.
"Me too, Hao Da. I'll thank you with a substantial reward when we get back!" Chē Yán said gratefully.
"Me too! I'll thank you to the best of my ability when we get back!" Liǔ Yìjiāo said sincerely.
All four great beauties knew that Hao Da was risking his life, and the danger of being bitten by a poisonous snake, to get fish and water for them. If they didn't show gratitude for this, they wouldn't be human!
"It's not as dangerous as you think! I'll be back soon!" Hǎo Dà said, smiling as casually as possible, seeing how excited the four great beauties were. He then picked up the small pot, the metal rod, and a long wooden stick, and strode off in the direction of the woods.
