Chapter 883: Natural Disaster After A Premeditated Disaster
After straightening his bones, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng walked to the seaside.
Since Jiang Xuecheng was still injured and had many wounds on his body, Su Wan did not suggest him to catch fish with his bare hands. Instead, she recalled the method Ming Ye used to catch fish last time and recommended it to Jiang Xuecheng.
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned when he heard that. Obviously, he did not expect Su Wan to know this. He immediately followed Su Wan’s words and found a thicker branch.
Jiang Xuecheng sharpened the branch with a stone. Then, he slowly walked into the shallow water and started to fork fish with the branch.
Because when he fell from the cliff, Jiang Xuecheng’s hand had been holding the dagger, causing his palm to bleed. His hand, which had finally formed a scab, was now bleeding again.
The wound was faintly painful.
Jiang Xuecheng’s expression changed slightly, but he did not want Su Wan to be careful for him. He continued to “kill” the fish in the shallow water.
Meanwhile, Su Wan found shelter on the shore and began to collect firewood.
Looking at the dim sunset and the sea breeze coming towards her, Su Wan suddenly remembered that she and Jiang Xuecheng often cooked seafood on Wan Wan island.
However, things were different now. At that time, they had all the tableware and all kinds of seasonings, unlike now...
It was already good enough to have some food!
...
Su Wan began to work on gathering firewood on the shore. A thin layer of sweat could not help but appear on her face.
Separated by the gentle moonlight, Su Wan turned around and saw that the corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s brows and eyes had been dyed with a faint layer of brilliance.
The originally cold facial contours had now become as gentle as jade.
The corners of Su Wan’s lips could not help but curl into a faint smile. She really felt that even if she were to die now, she would have no regrets.
If it were not for the fact that both she and Jiang Xuecheng were affected by the CHK virus, Su Wan even felt that they could have gone on a picnic together as if they were on Wan Wan Island!
Although Jiang Xuecheng had the virus, their survival skills were much more skilled than Su Wan’s. Soon, they caught two fat silver fish.
Jiang Xuecheng shaved off the heads and tails of the two fish, then scraped off the scales. Then, they began to roast them over the fire.
The bonfire was burning brightly. Su Wan flipped the tree branches with ease and saw the flames roasting the bodies of the two fish. The tip of her nose soon smelled the rich aroma of meat.
After all, she had been hungry from noon to night. Now that she smelled the aroma of the fish, she could not help but be tempted.
The only regret was that there was no seasoning!
She was not as discerning as Ming Ye and could tell which wild vegetables and weeds could be used as seasoning.
Just as Su Wan was distracted, she suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng’s voice.
“Wan Wan, what are you thinking about? The fish is burnt!”
“Ah!”
Su Wan was surprised. She suddenly lowered her head and realized that she was too engrossed in her thoughts. The fish had been burnt by her!
Su Wan was stunned. She saw that Jiang Xuecheng had already reached out to move the branch of the grilled fish. At the same time, he gave her a sidelong glance with a smile that was not a smile.
The meaning of the joke was self-evident.
Su Wan could not help but blush a little. She had previously boasted to Jiang Xuecheng that she was skilled in grilling fish!
Sigh, she really made a mistake this time. She could not even lose face!
“Looking at your absent-minded appearance, let me do it.”
Jiang Xuecheng took the skewer of grilled fish from Su Wan’s hand. His actions could not be refused.
Su Wan gave him an embarrassed smile. In the end, she nodded and agreed. She enjoyed Jiang Xuecheng serving her with peace of mind.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Soon, the two sea fish were grilled.
Perhaps it was because the seawater itself had a salty taste. When Su Wan ate the sea fish, she could feel that the fish still had some flavor. It was just that the fish had a slightly fishy smell. Unfortunately, there was no seasoning to enhance it’s taste.
At the moment, both of them were hungry. It was already good enough to be able to eat something, so they could not be bothered about so much.
Su Wan put a piece of half-burnt and half-tender fish meat into her mouth and finally felt that her stomach was satisfied.
After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Wan stroked her round belly and rested her head on Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder while looking up to count the stars.
“Xuecheng...”
Su Wan called out to Jiang Xuecheng in a low voice. In the silent night, Su Wan’s gentle call was as gentle as the moonlight.
Jiang Xuecheng knew that Su Wan just wanted to call out to him. He silently put his hand through her palm, trying to give her some strength.
“I’m here.”
His voice was as distant as a cello, hiding his endless love for Su Wan.
A gust of night wind blew from the horizon, and all kinds of leaves and flowers rustled in the wind. The branches burned by the flames in front of her crackled, and she leaned against the person next to her, as if she had suddenly experienced the end of time.
That night, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng fell asleep in the cave.
Originally, Jiang Xuecheng stubbornly wanted to keep watch for Su Wan, but Su Wan couldn’t bear to see him work so hard.
Jiang Xuecheng couldn’t win against her, so they first found many trees and branches to cover the entrance of the cave, and then burned a bonfire inside, hoping to alert the small animals that were trying to enter by mistake.
...
The next day, Su Wan woke up in Jiang Xuecheng’s arms.
Su Wan rubbed her sleepy eyes and found that Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes were still closed.
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat. Normally, Jiang Xuecheng had always woken up earlier than her. Could it be that the CHK Virus No.3 had taken effect on him?
She pushed Jiang Xuecheng hard, and her voice carried a hint of anxiety.
“Jiang Xuecheng, wake up.”
After being pushed three or four times by Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng immediately woke up. When he saw how anxious Su Wan looked, he immediately frowned.
“Wan Wan, why do you look so pale?”
Su Wan hesitated for a moment and told Jiang Xuecheng her guess.
“Xuecheng, are you infected with CHK Virus No.3 as well? You usually don’t get up so late.”
Jiang Xuecheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Su Wan’s words.
After confirming that Su Wan had fallen asleep yesterday, he forced his eyes to keep watch for Su Wan. After all, this was the wilderness, so he was still worried that some wild beasts or venomous insects would come.
When the sky was almost bright, he couldn’t help but take a nap for a while, then he fell asleep.
He didn’t expect to be mistaken for being infected by the CHK virus!
“Wan Wan, you’re thinking too much.”
Jiang Xuecheng explained everything that happened yesterday to Su Wan. When Su Wan’s heart was in her throat, she slowly retracted it.
Even so, Su Wan wasn’t completely at ease.
Back then, doctor Li said that patients with the CHK virus transmitted through the blood should immediately have low fever and fatigue, but Su Wan couldn’t see it from Jiang Xuecheng.
However, the more unknown it was, the more anxious Su Wan became.
Their priority now was to return to the God’s Palace and take a good look at whether Jiang Xuecheng had been infected with the CHK Virus No.3.
Just as Su Wan was about to speak, she suddenly heard a rumbling sound!
She immediately ran out of the cave with Jiang Xuecheng. Only then did she realize that it was pouring rain outside. A mudslide was rolling in their direction!
