"Yes, that's much better."

Su Tang tried again, making sure to avoid Hu Shen's back wound, and covered the two of them tightly with leaves before falling asleep contentedly.

Hu Shen had no idea what had happened.

the next day.

When Su Tang woke up, she found herself clinging to Hu Shen like an octopus.

The leaves on their bodies had fallen off, and at first glance, their posture looked quite ambiguous.

"Hu Shen? Is he still not awake...?"

Su Tang blushed and her heart pounded. After discovering that Hu Shen was still unconscious, she shamelessly got up.

When Hu Shen was turned over, half of his face was already red from being pressed down.

Su Tang silently apologized a few more times.

After a night, their clothes were dry. Su Tang quickly put on her own clothes, while Hu Shen was only dressed in an animal skin skirt with a tattered shirt, which he used as a blanket.

While getting dressed, Su Tang accidentally caught a glimpse of it, which startled her so much that she almost poked Hu Shen's wound.

"Gurgle!"

The astonishing scene just now lingered in my mind.

Su Tang couldn't help but swallow.

She patted her chest, trying to reassure herself, "Calm down, calm down. It's just a man. I was saving someone, not trying to take advantage of him..."

After a brief brainwashing session, Su Tang went out to find materials to start a fire.

They can't go back now, and Hu Shen is unconscious. They can't survive without fire; she can't just eat fruit all the time.

Su Jianyuan once said that tinder is very important when making fire by rubbing sticks together.

Yesterday I was in a rush and couldn't find suitable tinder, which is why I couldn't start a fire.

As we emerged from the cave, the wind whipped up waves that crashed against the rocks, creating a loud, clattering sound.

Su Tang then thought of another problem.

There is no fresh water here!

Fortunately, while searching for tinder, they found several coconut trees.

Su Tang was lucky; she cut down a thin, long tree trunk and knocked down several branches.

She stored it directly in the farm space and planted it in the ground.

Leave one, use the dagger to cut open the top layer, find three small dots, and use the twig to poke open one of the small dots.

She held the coconut and gulped it down, finishing her drink.

Firefly is made from dried wild grass that grows like a rabbit's tail and looks fuzzy at first glance.

I'd never seen sugar before, but it looked soft and flammable, so I grabbed several handfuls and brought them back to the cave along with the coconuts.

Hard work pays off!

Finally, on Su Tang's sixteenth attempt, a small flame emerged from a plume of white smoke.

It gradually devoured the tinder and occupied the territory of the white smoke.

Su Tang was almost overjoyed to tears. She wiped her face and carefully placed the firewood on the stove.

Soon, a fire was lit.

This whole ordeal took up half the morning.

Seeing that Hu Shen's lips were chapped, Su Tang did the same thing and fed Hu Shen a coconut that had been grown in her space.

It leaked as I fed it, but I finally managed to get down about half a coconut of juice.

"Why isn't he awake yet? Is he really not going to wake up?"

Looking at Hu Shen, whose eyes were still closed, Su Tang felt increasingly uncertain.

"There are no disinfection tools here, no wound medicine... Wait, medicine!" Su Tang muttered anxiously to herself, then suddenly remembered something.

"Yes, it's the Tai Sui we found in the river last time!"

Tai Sui, also known as meat Lingzhi, is even more effective than Lingzhi.

Su Tang quickly took out the Tai Sui from her spatial storage. She had previously planted it on her farm, and the Tai Sui she took out now was even bigger than the one she had found in the river.

It's as big as half a tiger!

Ignoring the dirt, Su Tang placed it on the ground and cut off a fist-sized piece with a dagger.

I must say, the feel of cutting off this Tai Sui is almost the same as cutting off a piece of meat.

It feels soft, smooth, and yet chewy to the touch.

"How are we supposed to eat this? We don't have a pot, are we just going to grill it?"

Su Tang looked at the Tai Sui in her hand, then at Hu Shen. Putting aside whether this thing could be roasted and eaten, if she roasted it and fed it to him, it would probably choke him to death, right?

...

A dozen minutes later.

Several more stones appeared in the cave, arranged in a circle, with half a coconut placed on top and a small flame flickering underneath.

Su Tang cut the Tai Sui into small pieces and cooked it directly with coconut juice.

After boiling for about ten minutes, the bottom of the coconut was almost steaming.

She quickly took the coconut down, stirred it with a twig, picked up a piece of the jujube meat, and tasted it.

It tastes like mushrooms, with a light fragrance, a smooth texture, and a hint of coconut flavor.

After eating the meat of the Tai Sui, Su Tang felt warm all over, as if she were soaking in a hot spring.

Su Tang fed Hu Shen the soup first.

Even the flesh of the Tai Sui wasn't wasted. It was chopped into a paste with a dagger, mixed with the broth, and fed to the animal.

They fed Hu Shen most of the food before stopping.

"I hope this stuff works and he wakes up soon," Su Tang muttered softly as she wiped his mouth with a leaf.

At noon, Su Tang ate the remaining Tai Sui meat and fell asleep next to Hu Shen, exhausted.

When she woke up again, the first thing she looked at was Hu Shen.

The latter remained motionless, just as she had been before she fell asleep.

"It's over. I'm afraid I'll have to live the rest of my life as a savage on this island, growing old alone..."

Su Tang sighed.

Seeing that the firewood in the cave was almost burned out, they went out to collect more firewood.

She finally understood the hardships faced by orcs.

Starting a fire was difficult, so she had to keep adding wood to keep the fire burning.

After chopping down some large logs with a dagger, Su Tang returned to the place where she had woken up the day before.
