Chapter 35: Deserted Island Adventure (4)

  Gujalan stood on the beach, tilting her head back and taking a deep breath: "Ah, comfortable!" After spending several days in the cave, Gujalan, an outgoing girl, was really suffocated. Although this small island was remote and desolate, the air was very fresh.

  The seawater kept surging onto the beach, slowly wetting Gulan's shoes.

  Lin San stood on one side, gazing at Gu Jialan, his eyes filled with amusement.

  "The air here is so fresh and the environment is so beautiful, if I could really spend my whole life here, it wouldn't be bad at all." Gu Jialan gazed out at the azure sea and said softly.

  "This small island is quite good, but unfortunately the geographical location is too remote and the material is scarce, not suitable for long-term residence." Lin San said regretfully.

  "It doesn't matter if it's out of the way, what's important is that I like it." Gu Jialan smiled.

  "It's useless even if you like it, there is no electricity or fresh water here, and the whole mountain is full of stones." Lin San said with a crooked mouth.

  Gu Jialan smiled: "What's difficult about this? When I get home, let my dad spend some money to build up this little island. No electricity? Install a generator! No fresh water? Build an artificial lake! Then plant some flowers, grass and trees that can survive on the island... Finally, build a few villas... Wow, this is simply a miniature kingdom!"

  "Do you really plan on living on this small island?" Lin San was taken aback.

  Gujalan stretched out his hand to smooth the stray hairs on his forehead: "No, I just want to come to the small island when I have time to relax, breathe in some fresh air and enjoy the quiet atmosphere here."

  Having money is good, whatever you fancy, can be transformed into your own backyard. Lin San sighed and said.

  "Money is meant to be spent, what's the point of keeping it?"

  Lin San shook his head: "Indeed, for you rich young masters, money is indeed just a pile of paper, but for us poor people, money is the foundation of survival."

  "The difference in status is also a different outlook on life." Gu Jialan smiled slightly.

  "I understand that this world is divided into classes, like you rich people who are destined to enjoy life, while we at the bottom of society are destined to suffer and serve others." Lin San sighed.

  "Lin San, you seem to be very dissatisfied with the current state of society?" Gu Jialan stared at Lin San with wide eyes.

  Lin San let out a wry smile: "As long as one is poor, they will always have complaints about their current situation. Alright, Miss Gu, let's not discuss these annoying matters anymore. Let's hurry up and find some food."

  "Right, find food, best if we can catch a wild rabbit." Gula ate roasted wild rabbit once and suddenly became infatuated with it.

  "Go!" Lin San shouted, turning around and heading towards the small woods in front of him.

  Gujalan hastily followed up.

  The two of them struggled in the forest for half a day and only caught a few wild birds, as for the wild rabbit, they didn't even see its shadow.

  Lin San wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a deep breath: "It seems that we won't be able to catch any wild rabbits today."

  "What's to be done? Are we just going to eat these few wild birds?" Gu Jialan furrowed her brow, the wild birds were so small in size, probably not even enough for Lin San to eat alone.

  Lin San pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up: "Got it."

  "What's going on?" Gu Jialan asked.

  "I'm going to the sea to catch fish." Lin San laughed and said.

  "Go fishing?" Gu Jialan was taken aback: "This is actually a good idea, but we don't have any tools, how are we going to catch fish?"

  "Don't worry about this, I have a way." Lin San handed all the wild birds to Gu Jialan and found a sturdy branch. He used a stone chip to sharpen one end of the branch into a cone shape.

  "What are you doing?" Gu Jialan asked in puzzlement.

  Lin San waved his branch: "You'll know later." After finishing speaking, he took the sharpened branch and left the forest.

  Gǔ Jiālán followed behind with a few wild birds in hand, planning to see how Lín Sān would catch fish.

  Lin San arrived at the seaside, took a deep breath, and then waded into the water until it reached his waist before stopping.

  Gu Jialan stood on the beach, looking at Lin San in surprise.

  Lin San stood in the icy sea water, holding a branch high, vigilantly gazing at the surface of the sea. Time passed second by second, and suddenly Lin San's eyes lit up, he let out a loud shout, and the branch in his hand instantly plunged into the seawater. After a while, Lin San pulled the branch out of the seawater, and a huge fish was stuck on the top of the branch.

  "Ah! Fish, I really caught a fish!" Gu Jialan exclaimed in surprise.

  Lin San smiled and wiped the seawater from his face, then took down the fish from the tree branch and threw it onto the beach.

  The fish lay on the beach, constantly wagging its tail, and was still alive.

  Lin San used the same method and caught 5 more fish, none of which were small.

  Lin San carried a branch and walked onto the beach, took a deep breath: "Today we have made up."

  "Lin San, you're really amazing, using a tree branch to catch fish." Gu Jialan sincerely admired.

  Lin San smiled: "This is not difficult, as long as you are quick-eyed and quick-handed, you can catch the fish." As he spoke, Lin San looked up at the sky: "It's getting late, let's hurry back to roast the fish and eat it."

  "Good." Gu Jialan bent down to help Lin San pick up the fish, then followed behind Lin San as he returned to the cave.

  At night, Lin San and Gu Jialan had a sumptuous dinner of roasted fish.

  Two more days have passed.

  Gujalan's illness has thoroughly recovered, and Lin San's shoulder injury has basically healed.

  For the past two days, they have been eating mostly roasted fish and occasionally some wild fruits. Lin San took a trip to the forest again, planning to catch two wild rabbits for Gu Jialan to satisfy her cravings. Unfortunately, after wandering around the forest, he didn't even see a single rabbit hair, but instead got pooped on by some wild birds, making Lin San curse the ancestors of those birds.

  That night.

  In the cave, the central fire was burning vigorously. Lin San and Gu Jialan sat by the fire, staring blankly into space.

  "It's been a week." Gu Jialan said softly: "We've been stranded on this deserted island for a week, and no one has come to rescue us yet." Gu Jialan had been hoping that her father, Gu Changfeng, would come to save her all these days, but unfortunately, a week's time had passed, and not even a shadow of Gu Changfeng was seen.

  "Perhaps the location of this deserted island is too remote, and it won't be discovered by people for the time being." Lin San comforted himself, but in fact, he was feeling a bit conflicted at the moment. On one hand, he wanted someone to come and rescue them as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he didn't want to give up the opportunity to be alone with Gu Jialan.

  Gujalan furrowed his brow: "This won't work either."

  Lin San nodded: "What you said is right, we can't just wait for others to rescue us, we have to think of a way to leave this deserted island ourselves." Lin San suddenly realized that he couldn't be so selfish and should consider Gu Jialan more. Gu Jialan had grown up in wealth and carefree, staying on this deserted island was really suffering for her.

  "Gu Jialan turned her head to look at Lin San: "Do you have any good ideas?"

  Lin San shook his head, and for a moment, Lin San couldn't think of a way out either.

  "It's late, let's go to sleep. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow." Gu Jialan sighed and walked to the side, slowly lying down.

  Lin San added some branches to the fire and found a place to lie down and rest.

  I don't know how long it's been.

  "Boom!" A loud noise suddenly rang out, causing the cave to hum with vibration.

  Lin San sprang up from the ground and stared at the cave entrance in horror.

  Gu Jialan was also startled awake, sitting on the ground and looking at Lin San in surprise: "What was that sound just now? It didn't seem like thunder."

  Lin San shook his head: "I'm not clear about what's going on either..."

  "Rumble, rumble......" Another loud noise came from outside the cave.

  Lin San rubbed his dizzy ears: "What's going on? Did an earthquake occur?"

  "Earthquake?" Gu Jialan's face changed color instantly.

  The top of the cave began to drop down with a rustling sound, and faint cracks appeared on the wall.

  "We can't stay in the cave anymore." Lin San pulled up Gu Jialan and quickly ran out of the cave.

  The two had just left the stone cave for a short while when they heard a muffled sound, and the stone cave suddenly collapsed.

  Lin San gazed at the collapsed stone cave, wiping a cold sweat with his hand: "Fortunately we came out early, otherwise..."

  "What's going on here? The stone cave was fine, why did it collapse?" Gu Jialan's face looked terrible, anyone who had just gone through a life and death experience wouldn't be in a good mood.

  Lin San stared straight ahead, his face showing extreme shock: "Damn! What is that......"

  "Huh?" Gu Jialan raised her head and followed Lin San's gaze, only to see a bunch of small animals darting out of the forest in front of them, including wild rabbits, pheasants, and wild boars... A large flock of birds was also flying overhead. Gu Jialan's lips trembled: "Where did so many animals come from?" It was no wonder that Gu Jialan was puzzled - just a few days ago, she and Lin San had searched the entire forest but only caught a few small animals, and now suddenly there were so many tonight. Where on earth did these animals come from?

  Lin San took a deep breath: "Tonight's events are too weird, first of all where did that loud noise come from? Why did the cave collapse? Where did these animals come from? Damn it, what's going on!" Lin San, who was feeling annoyed, couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

  "It's no good, those animals are charging towards us!" Gu Jialan exclaimed. Among these animals, apart from the wild rabbits and wild chickens, there were also some wild boars, which had large bodies. If they were hit by them, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  "We're leaving here." Lin San also realized the danger and pulled Gu Jialan to run to a slope on the opposite side.

  A large group of animals ran out of the forest, shouting and running eastward. The place where Lin San and Gu Jialan were standing was immediately trampled into a mess.

  "This group of animals looks like they're in a panic, as if they're running away from something. What terrible thing have these animals encountered?" Gu Jialan furrowed her brow.

  "It's probably scared by the loud noise just now." Lin San guessed, as most animals are afraid of loud noises.

  "Boom......" Another loud noise, the entire small island seemed to tremble.

  This time Lin San heard clearly the direction of the loud noise, in the due east, Lin San raised his eyes to look over there, except for a group of hills, nothing could be seen.

  A loud noise came, and the cries of the fleeing animals became even more mournful, their speed also increased.

  "What exactly happened there? Let's go take a look..." Gu Jialan said, sometimes women's curiosity is very heavy.

  Lin San was shocked and looked at Gu Jialan: "What? You want to go take a look at the place where the loud noise came from?"

  Gujalan nodded: "Aren't you curious?"

  "Not... I'm afraid of danger..." Lin San said hesitantly.

  Gujalan smiled: "Will we be safe if we stay here?"

  "But..." Lin San wanted to say something more.

  "We'll be careful, there won't be any danger," said Gu Jialan.

  Lin San hesitated for a moment, nodded: "Okay, I can go with you to take a look, but you have to promise me one condition."

  "Right." Gu Jialan nodded.

  "You must listen to my arrangement and absolutely cannot make any adventurous moves." Lin San said word by word.

  "Alright! I'm listening!" Gu Jialan agreed readily.

  "Let's go, follow me." Lin San said, turning around and heading in a northeasterly direction.

  Gujarlan followed closely behind.
