558 Fourth Brother 2

After the storm, Su Xiaolu went to pick up some fish and prawns that had been washed up by the waves. When she returned, she saw Zhou Zhi mixing with the mud. She asked in confusion, “Fourth Brother, what are you doing?”

Su Xiaolu could tell that Zhou Zhi was skilled, but she did not expect him to be so skilled. He seemed to know how to make many things.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said gently, “I don’t know when they will find this place. We need to make some pottery to hold water and eat.”

Su Xiaolu’s eyes lit up. “You know this too? Fourth Brother, you’re amazing.”

Su Xiaolu did not expect Zhou Zhi to know how to make pottery. This was really amazing.

“Xiaolu, you flatter me.”

Zhou Zhi smiled. He knew the principle of making pottery. Without a kiln on this deserted island, it would be good enough if he could successfully make it.

Su Xiaolu was a good hunter. When Zhou Zhi placed the fixed mud into the fire, Su Xiaolu caught a wild sheep. When Su Xiaolu brought it back, it was already dead. Zhou Zhi was making utensils, so she skinned it at the side.

A complete sheepskin with fur. She washed and dried it before spreading it in the cave.

She gave Zhou Zhi a lamb leg and he skillfully roasted the meat.

Su Xiaolu also divided the rest into small pieces and dried them by the fire.

It was still early. Su Xiaolu went out again. This time, she came back with some wood and vines.

She prepared to make a chair that she could carry on her back.

Zhou Zhi’s gaze deepened. “Xiaolu, why are you doing this? I don’t have to go out.”

Moreover, the terrain in this island forest was not flat at all, and he could not use this wooden wheelchair.

Su Xiaolu smiled, her eyes filled with warmth. She said, “A chair that can carry Fourth Brother. We can’t keep eating meat. This island is quite big. We can walk around.”

She had gone too far, so she could not leave Zhou Zhi here. Hence, the best way was to bring Zhou Zhi with her.

Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment. He lowered his eyes and said softly, “It will be very tiring.”

He was not light. He was a burden wherever he went.

Su Xiaolu rejected Zhou Zhi’s words and waved her hand. “No, I’m very strong. Besides, I’ve walked far away. What if you meet any wild beasts? There are quite a lot of treasures on this island. Let’s find them together. We have to share good things with our companions.”

Zhou Zhi smiled. “Thank you, Xiaolu.”

He looked at the straps and took them from Su Xiaolu. He knitted this thing even more exquisitely and even woven it in with sheep fur.

“You know a lot.”

Su Xiaolu felt that Zhou Zhi knew too much.

Zhou Zhi laughed and said calmly, “These are all very simple.”

Su Xiaolu might never know how charming the light in her eyes was when she looked at people.

These things were not worth mentioning, but he could see the light of admiration in her eyes. She really respected him.

Zhou Zhi crushed the wild fruits into juice and smeared it on the lamb leg. Then, he sprinkled the salt he had dried himself and used a dagger to cut the lamb leg. The oil exploded and the fruit fragrance overflowed.

Su Xiaolu swallowed.

At this moment, she could still eat such roasted meat. She felt that life on this island was not that difficult.

After the lamb leg was roasted, Zhou Zhi gave her the best portion. Su Xiaolu smiled and wrapped it in washed banana leaves before eating.

“Fourth Brother, your culinary skills are really good.”

Su Xiaolu praised as she ate.

Zhou Zhi smiled. “You flatter me.”

The meat was very filling.

The firelight was very warm. Inside were the jars and bowls that were burning. They were all red from the heat and did not crack. It looked like they had succeeded.

When they went to bed at night, Zhou Zhi took out the two jars and two bowls he had made. They were both successful.

The two of them entered the cave to sleep. Perhaps because they were siblings, the two of them were not so awkward.

Su Xiaolu treated Zhou Zhi as her brother and did not feel uncomfortable.

With bowls and jars, they wouldn’t have to worry about storing water.

During the day, Su Xiaolu would carry Zhou Zhi out and pick some wild fruits to eat.

This island was not small and had abundant resources. There were many small animals, but there were no dangerous ferocious beasts. At least after being on this island for so long, Su Xiaolu had not seen a single snake.

The island was filled with spiritual energy. She had encountered many precious herbs and gently dug them away.

They had always been at the periphery and did not go deep. They were mainly afraid that the people who came to find them could not see them.

However, by mid-May, there were still no ships around the island.

Here, Su Xiaolu had made medicinal soap to wash up. This could save her and Zhou Heng from being too dirty.

There were even wild vegetables. It could be said that there was meat and vegetables now. Apart from being trapped on this island, everything else was good.

At night, Su Xiaolu discussed with Zhou Zhi, “Fourth Brother, should we go deeper?”

They had already explored the surroundings. Looking at the situation, they could not leave for a while. Because she often hunted, it alarmed the peace of this peaceful island. The animals hid in the depths of the forest.

Zhou Zhi nodded. “Sure, go further. I’ll see if there’s anything suitable for building ships. We should consider building our own ships.”

He didn’t know what this place was, but since they hadn’t found it after so long, it shouldn’t be easy to find it.

Su Xiaolu might not have noticed. Many of the animals she caught were different from ordinary animals. At first glance, they looked the same, but if one looked carefully, one would notice the difference.

In fact, she had guessed that this island might be the territory of another world.

The people outside might not be able to find this place. If they wanted to go out, they could only build their own ship and try.

Hearing that Zhou Zhi was going to build a ship, Su Xiaolu asked with sparkling eyes, “You know how to do that too?”

Zhou Zhi smiled and shook his head. “I don’t know how to. Shipbuilding is very complicated and requires many craftsmen to build it. We have too few people and can’t make it. I can only give it a try. It might only be a raft or something in the end.”

“That’s impressive.”

The raft was not easy either.

Zhou Zhi laughed helplessly. No matter what, Su Xiaolu could always make people happy.

The next day, Su Xiaolu and Zhou Zhi packed up their things and left with the jars and bowls. The jars were filled with water and dried meat strips. The sheepskin cushion was placed on the back chair. Su Xiaolu carried Zhou Zhi and set off.

Jin Liu and the others had already searched the sea area repeatedly but found nothing.

Old Wu’s expression was very dark. They returned after seven days of searching.

He didn’t even greet Jin Liu and the others. Seeing them leave, Jin Si was a little puzzled. “He’s leaving just like that? Is this the relationship between Miss Su and her master?”

Jin Liu didn’t reply. Their hearts were heavy when they couldn’t find their master.

They hoped that Zhou Zhi and Su Xiaolu were still alive, but they also understood that after so many days, the chances of them surviving were very, very small.
