Chapter 205 There is a lid
After laughing for a while, everyone started to feel scared.
It was a close call, they almost died in the sea.
If they hadn't met Shen Yitian, they might not have found this island at all.
A group of exiled prisoners, not knowing if anyone will come to rescue them...
After calming down, the person who had been holding back for a long time finally burst into tears.
Now that they have food, they have time to shed some tears.
Shen Yitian didn't say anything, nor did she stop them. She just watched them cry quietly.
But they didn't cry for too long. After shedding tears for a while, they began to share the wild fruits they had just picked.
"We didn't find any water, but some wild fruits. Miss Shen, please don't despise them, just eat them." Song Qiao put two yellowish fruits in her hands.
This fruit looks strange, but Shen Yitian recognized it. Isn’t it a carambola?
They looked pretty green and yellow, and everyone picked a lot of them.
However, this star fruit is a bit sour, and Shen Yitian didn’t want to eat it after tasting one.
Everyone was hungry so they didn’t feel the sourness. Some people ate three in one go and still weren’t satisfied, so they planned to eat more.
Shen Yitian glanced at Song Wanshi, who immediately understood. She distributed the leaves from the big tree she had picked earlier to everyone and asked everyone to follow her example and roll the leaves into cone shapes.
"Try this." She smiled mysteriously and poured the coconut juice into the leaves in their hands one by one.
The cone made of leaves was not very useful, as the coconut water started dripping as soon as it was poured in.
Some people couldn't wait and drank it all in one gulp, while others were surprised and asked, "Hey? We couldn't find any water, did you find it?"
Song Wan said, "This is not water, it's a fruit." She shook the coconut in her hand.
The coconut looked bigger than her head, green in color, and very thick.
Can water be poured out of such fruit?
Just kidding!
"Really, it's the water poured out of this. We picked the fruit over there. The tree is very tall and it's not easy to pick." Song Wanshi said sincerely.
Shen Yitian took over the conversation and said, "Sister Wan, take them to pick some more coconuts later. We'll see if we can find anything else. Let's stock up on these edible things first."
Mrs. Song Wan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's what I mean. While we are full and have strength, let's make some more food and put it away."
Otherwise, you won’t be able to find food later and have to go looking for it on an empty stomach.
After these two days, everyone has regarded Shen Yitian as the backbone.
Of course, no one had any objections to her saying this, and everyone agreed.
Soon, all the big and small crabs roasted by the fire were cooked.
Without oil, salt or other seasonings, the crab has a bit of a fishy smell, but that doesn't stop you from enjoying it.
Before long, only crab shells were left on the ground.
Shen Yitian took a few bites of each one and found it tasted a bit fishy, so she refused to eat it.
Everyone present, except Mrs. Song Wan, thought that she had not eaten anything.
Seeing that she refused to eat the crab, we thought she was simply picky and couldn't eat it. Thinking that she couldn't stay hungry all the time, we started to persuade her one by one.
"Miss Shen, this crab is not very delicious, but you have to eat some." Song Qiao said.
Her daughter-in-law was not to be outdone and handed her the peeled crabs directly: "Ms. Shen, I have peeled these crabs, just eat them. You must be exhausted these past two days, how can you not eat?"
Others also said: "Yes, yes, we still have to eat."
Shen Yitian pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't want to eat, but she also didn't want to refuse these people's kindness.
She knew that they all meant well and wanted her to eat more.
But she really didn't want to eat this crab because it was a bit fishy.
It was Song Wanshi who raised her eyebrows, smiled and asked everyone to go pick coconuts with her first.
"Let's go first. Miss Shen usually eats at her own home. She might feel embarrassed to eat with so many people around her."
This sentence made everyone suddenly realize.
Yes, since arriving in Maoer Village, Shen Yitian has never eaten with everyone.
Maybe people just like quietness.
After being saved by the other party, everyone did not think that her habit was squeamish. Instead, they all nodded with understanding.
"Then, let's go pick the big fruit first. Miss Shen, please take your time to eat the crab, don't be in a hurry." Song Qiao and others said.
When leaving, Song Wan gave Shen Yitian a wink.
Shen Yitian knew that she was letting herself do whatever she wanted with the crabs left for her.
In fact, the few crabs left were not big. If they were dipped in sauce and vinegar, she could finish them in one go.
She didn't want to eat it just now because it tasted fishy. Now that everyone has left, what is she waiting for if she doesn't bring out a dish of sauce and vinegar to dip it in?
Other things were hard to find, but there was some in the space for soy sauce, vinegar, and plates, and she even squeezed a little mustard in there.
Sure enough, the crab tasted much better after it was flavored.
In a short while, she had eaten all the crabs left for her by Song Wanshi and others.
But she still felt a little full after eating too much, so Shen Yitian decided to take a walk.
By the way, let's take a look at how big this island is and whether there is anything else to eat.
This time she walked alone. Song Wanshi and those people were picking coconuts, so she went in the opposite direction.
The island doesn't look big from a distance, but if you really want to walk around it, it will take several days to walk around it.
Although the island is large, there are not many plants growing on it.
However, Shen Yitian felt that since there were plants on the island, there must be fresh water.
But after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the source of fresh water.
She was tripped by something first, and when she looked down, she saw it was a piece of wood.
Shen Yitian's brows jumped. It was obvious that the wooden board had been repaired by humans and did not look like a ship board.
I squatted down and dug it out with my hands, and found that there was not just one piece of wood, but several pieces nailed together with wooden planks.
It didn't look like what was left after the ship was smashed, because it was very regular, and the side she pulled out was even.
It looks square and looks like a lid.
cover!
Shen Yitian's heart skipped a beat.
Could there be a well or something hidden underneath?
If it was a well, that would be great. With fresh water, she wouldn't have to worry about how to get mineral water from the space for Song Wanshi and the others to drink.
Thinking of this, she took out the tools without hesitation and directly scraped off all the soil covering the wooden board.
Just as she thought, the wooden board was a neat square, obviously specially made.
It's placed here probably to cover something.
When she opened it, Shen Yitian was actually a little hesitant, as she was afraid there was something inside.
But then she thought again, she had a gun, and as long as it wasn't something that suddenly jumped out, she should have time to resist.
After thinking for a moment, she lifted the wooden board up with force and took two steps back.
I'm afraid something might suddenly jump out of it.
After the lid was opened, a black hole was revealed underneath.
The soil she dug up fell down a lot, and she waited until the soil stopped falling before she walked forward slowly.
