The brother and sister were soaking in the sea water and looking at each other. Jing Ye was stunned at first, then felt relieved, and then all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined together. He flapped in the sea water and reached out to hug Ming Fu, for fear that his sister would disappear on the sea again.
Ming Fu grabbed Jing Ye's neck, not giving him a chance to struggle, and pushed him from the back, pushing him ashore.
Then she took the small backpack off her waist, put it on the shore first, and then she climbed ashore by holding on to the rocks.
The brother and sister sat on the rocks, both drenched like drowned rats, looking at each other.
Jing Ye's hands and feet are still cold. When Bai Yinyin called for help, he and Shao Yi were looking for bamboo forest nearby. When he heard Bai Yinyin's voice, he rushed over. Who knew that what was waiting for him when he arrived was shocking bad news.
He can still remember how he felt when he learned that Mingfu had not come up after six or seven minutes in the water. His mind was blank, his ears were ringing, he could not hear anything except his own heartbeat, and he could not even control his limbs.
Later, when Shao Yi asked him what to do, he came to his senses. At that time, he had no time to think about anything. He only knew that he had to go to the sea to rescue his sister, and then he drove his stiff limbs into the sea.
Jing Ye's hands and feet gradually warmed up, and his heartbeat slowly returned to normal, followed by a surge of anger.
Although he was very angry and wanted to criticize Mingfu harshly, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he frowned and found the sun-protection jacket that Mingfu had taken off earlier and put it on Mingfu.
He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, but who knew that when he was helping Mingfu zip up his coat, his careless sister would start scolding him first.
"Aren't you going to make a fishing rod? Why did you suddenly go into the water? Do you know that the sea is dangerous? If I don't catch you, do you know what serious consequences will occur?"
Ming Fu was no less angry than Jing Ye. Fortunately, she caught the man in time. If she was a little later and missed Jing Ye, her stupid brother would probably be in danger.
Jing Ye paused, and Ming Fu was amused again. He glanced at his sister, grabbed the corner of her sun-protection jacket with one hand, and pinched the zipper with the other hand, and roughly pulled it to the top in one breath.
"How dare you ask me this? Would I have gone in if you hadn't? You know the sea is dangerous, so why did you go in?" Jing Ye pointed at the terrified Bai Yinyin, "Do you know that you didn't come up and scared me to tears?"
Seeing Bai Yinyin, who was so frightened that her eyes were tearful and still in shock, Ming Fu felt helpless. It was all her fault that she had given the instructions too hastily and did not let Bai Yinyin feel completely relieved.
She sighed: "Didn't I tell you I have a diving license? Why don't you believe me?"
"You said more than five minutes, and I counted to six minutes and you still didn't come up. I-I was panicking..." Bai Yinyin wiped her tears and still sobbed.
Ming Fu: "When I said more than five minutes, it was actually about ten minutes. If I feel uncomfortable, I will come up early. Don't be afraid next time."
Bai Yinyin bit her lip and nodded, indicating that she understood.
Ming Fu turned around and asked Jing Ye, "Brother, you too, why did you rush into the water without asking clearly? I can dive, do you have a diving certificate?"
"Why can't I go in the water? I have a lifesaving certificate."
"Expired." After Ming Fu said this, she suddenly had an idea. Her brother always prided himself on being a lifeguard. Could it be that he drowned because he was saving someone?
Thinking of the possible reasons, Ming Fu sternly warned him: "Don't even think about saving people with an expired lifeguard license. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to save anyone and may even put yourself in danger."
"Hiss!" Jing Ye choked. He calculated his life-saving certificate and found that it was taken during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination to work part-time. The three-year validity period had indeed expired. Now he was busy as a top at work and had no time to review it last year.
After returning, he must take some time to bring his life-saving certificate for inspection, otherwise he can't stand this humiliation.
Even though he was wrong, he still refused to admit defeat: "You are my sister. If you were in danger, I would jump in to save you even if I didn't have an expired lifesaving certificate. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to care."
Jing Ye changed the subject and asked, "But how come you have a diving certificate? How come I don't know when you took the exam?"
Ming Fu curled his lips and said, "I'm 15 years old now, I can take the exam anytime. My dear brother, if you don't come home for a few years, I can take more exams for certificates that you don't know about."
Jing Ye was speechless, his heart filled with bitterness and regret. In just two years, his sister was no longer the same sister she used to be. She had grown from a delicate and weak little girl into an independent and capable young lady.
He was still sighing over missing out on his sister's growth, feeling sad and grief-stricken.
Ming Fu couldn't wait to check her catch of the day. She jumped off the reef, stood on the beach, grabbed the backpack she brought from the sea and poured it onto the beach. One by one, the lively seafood fell onto the beach.
There are sea urchins as big as duck eggs with twisting black spines, shrimps and prawns as long as palms, and a pile of abalone, the largest of which can be ten, and the smallest has twenty.
Add to that some shells, conches, and a few shallow-sea fish, and it would probably weigh more than ten kilograms.
"You've only been down there for a few minutes, how come you brought back so many things?" Shao Yi was stunned.
"The waters around the island are rich in resources, and there are no fishermen to catch them, so it was easy to catch so many."
Shao Yi recalled Mingfu's performance that day, and while he admired him, he couldn't help feeling ashamed.
"It's better to have many skills, so you don't have to worry about anything. Unlike us, we don't know anything, so no matter how many good things there are in the sea, we can't catch anything."
Jing Ye thought the same. He should have taken a diving certificate together, so that he could go fishing by himself, instead of having to rely on such an inefficient method as fishing.
Besides, his sister already has a diving certificate, so he can't be worse than his sister. He must have one at least, otherwise it would be a loss of his style as a brother.
Jing Ye said resentfully, "When I get back, I'll take the OW exam like you."
"I took the AOW exam," Ming Fu said.
"AOW is AOW, it's not like I can't take the exam."
"Is there any difference between the OW and AOW you mentioned? I'm also very curious and want to take an exam for one." Shao Yi asked curiously.
He thinks diving is quite useful. Even if he is not recording a program, he can dive and catch seafood himself. Eating it will definitely give him a sense of accomplishment compared to buying seafood at the market.
Mingfu explained: "OW and AOW are both diving certificates, but they have different levels. The standard diving depth for OW is 18 meters, and the standard diving depth for AOW is 28 meters."
Bai Yinyin was stunned when she heard this: "18 meters is six stories high, so 28 meters is almost ten stories high."
Shao Yi couldn't imagine the depth. The concrete description of six floors made him back off.
He smiled and waved his hands: "I thought it would be four or five meters at most. I definitely can't do 18 meters. I'd better forget it."
Jing Ye spoke with the tone of a veteran, casually sharing his experience with Shao Yi: "The main problem is still the water pressure and lung capacity. 18 meters and 28 meters sound scary, but they are actually not scary at all."
Ming Fu: "Brother, you should just focus on making money. Why bother getting a diving license? You won't need it anyway."
Jing Ye didn't like to hear this: "Why can't I use it? Can't I go diving and relax when I have nothing to do?"
Ming Fu rolled his eyes at him and snorted, "You don't even have time to go home, and you still have time to go diving? It's not that you don't have time to go home every year, it's that you don't want to go home."
Ming Fu was very good at touching his heart. With just one sentence, Jing Ye stopped talking. It was his fault that he had no time to go home, and he shouldn't spend his time with his family on these hobbies.
I can see that my sister is about to get angry, so why should I take the exam? It’s pointless.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I won't take the test. Don't be angry, okay?"
Jing Ye kept smiling, so Ming Fu didn't bother to argue with him.
"I don't have time to be angry. I still have to prepare for the next trip to the sea."
"You still want to go down?" Bai Yinyin was still frightened by what had just happened.
Jing Ye stopped laughing after hearing this and firmly disagreed, "No, this is enough for us to eat."
Ming Fu: "It's enough to eat today, but what about tomorrow? I'm already soaked, so why not just catch a few more at once and keep them? I don't want to go into the water every day and get soaked."
Ming Fu's arguments were well-reasoned and her attitude was firm. Jing Ye had no chance to persuade her. Although he was reluctant, he finally nodded in agreement.
But not all of them were guarding the beach, everyone had a division of labor.
Bai Yinyin continued to wait for Mingfu at the beach. Shao Yi dug a pond for raising seafood, and Jing Ye was responsible for bringing back fresh water.
Jing Ye arrived at the place where fresh water was collected and gestured to the drone above his head, asking it to go away.
The drone didn't understand and didn't move at all.
He tugged at his wet clothes again and waved his hand impatiently: "Go away, I want to take off my clothes."
The drone hovered for a while, then flew away with its propellers spinning.
The scenes related to Jing Ye were also cut off, and the audience shouted "no".
[Stop! Don't cut it, let me see it, I want to see it! Son, let mom see your abs!]
[Just take it off and let Mommy see what’s wrong. Why are you being so reserved with Mommy?]
[Damn, this man is so virtuous]
[It's so funny, how can he be a man? When he had six-pack abs, he was so coquettish at the concert that he even ripped several pieces of clothes. I was worried that no one would see his hard-earned abs. Now he suddenly observes the manliness, I'm afraid he only has one abs on his stomach.]
[Hahahaha, that's right, he has a terrible sense of manliness. He really likes being watched. The one with real manliness is Xu Weixing's younger brother.]
My friend has a terminal illness, and her only wish is to see Xu Weixing's abdominal muscles. I wonder when Xu Weixing will be able to fulfill my friend's wish and let her pass away peacefully.
[I want to see it too. Chi Chengcheng said that his younger brother has a great figure and pays great attention to body management. Every time I see him, I can make him envious.]
Amid the audience's heated discussion, the scene on Jing Ye's side was restored.
This time he was shirtless, with water droplets hanging all over his body, even his hair was wet.
The washed clothes were wrung out and hung on the branches without being worn, while he himself was busy collecting water.
So the audience was confused.
[The abdominal muscles are still there, why didn’t you want us to see them just now?]
[Are you embarrassed to be watched taking off your clothes? This is unlike his character. He has more than just a thick skin.]
[Could it be that he was just about to take his pants off? They look like they've been washed.]
[What? Taking off pants? If it's such an exciting scene, why don't you show it to me? I can pay for it.]
"Programmers, just tell me straight up, how much will it cost to hand over the footage you just cut? I have money, I want to buy footage of my son without clothes, I want to monopolize the source, and watch it secretly at night, shashasha."
[Sister in front, please put on some clothes]
A narcissistic person like Jing Ye knows that many fans are eyeing his □□ at this moment. If it were any other time, he would have to pose in a few ways to live up to his fans' love.
Right now, he was only thinking about getting the water back as soon as possible and had no intention of showing off his muscles.
Mingfu will be coming ashore soon, so he has to quickly bring the fresh water back and boil it into hot water to give his sister a bath.
He brought all the bamboo tubes made by Mingfu on this trip, a total of six, each more than one meter long, and a full tube could hold at least ten liters of water.
Jing Ye took the nearly 60 liters of water back to boil water.
Since they didn't have a pot, Jing Ye put the bamboo tube directly on the fire. He strung his short-sleeved shirts with branches and placed them next to the fire. They were dried in less than an hour.
However, he didn't wear his short-sleeved shirt even though it was dry, and continued to dry it in the sun.
At this time, Ming Fu returned with a full load.
This time she brought back even more seafood, which filled up the pit that Shao Yi had dug in one go. It was enough for them to eat for three days.
Shao Yi, who was digging a hole until he was half dead, said: "..."
If Sister Jing Ye were more capable, his pit would be too full to accommodate her.
He was ashamed of the hole he had dug.
Mingfu came back just in time, and the water temperature was just right.
As soon as she put down her things, Jing Ye urged her to go into the house to take a shower. Jing Ye also gave her his dried T-shirt.
Ming Fu naturally wouldn't be polite with her brother. After taking a shower, she put on Jing Ye's clothes directly. She washed the wet clothes she had taken off and hung them in the sun.
When they were all done, it was still early, so they began to leisurely prepare the seafood dinner for the evening.
Ming Fu was sharpening her stone knife when she suddenly thought of Jiang Meng: "I wonder if Sister Jiang Meng has found food."
She knew that Jiang Meng had given all the food to the brother and sister in the morning, and the alliance between Tong Wenping and Pei Haotian seemed unreliable. It was very likely that Jiang Meng would not have anything to eat at noon if she followed Tong Wenping.
Jing Ye said without hesitation: "Call them over to eat together later. We have food now anyway, so we don't need two mouths to feed."
"Still calling her husband?" Ming Fu had never thought of letting Jiang Meng's husband come along.
"She came secretly this morning. Can she still get rid of her husband if she comes this evening? If you want to invite them, invite them all together. Do you think Sister Jiang will come alone if you let her come?"
Ming Fu pouted in compromise: "Alright then, let's treat everyone together."
"Look at how aggrieved you are. It doesn't matter if her husband has food to eat, but don't let my Ah Fu get mad at you. If you don't want to invite her, then don't invite her. I'll find a way to trick Sister Jiang out alone."
Ming Fu thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea: "Sister Jiang Meng's husband is not stupid. Don't let her husband find out and cause trouble for Sister Jiang Meng."
"Alright, you have the final say." Jing Ye looked up at the sky and clicked his tongue. "He's so lucky today. Bones fell from the sky today."
Bai Yinyin listened quietly to the brother and sister talking, and unconsciously thought of Pei Haotian.
Jing Ye and Pei Haotian don't get along, so he definitely won't ask Pei Haotian to come.
Bai Yinyin was very conflicted. She came to the show just for Pei Haotian, but she didn't dare to talk to him and even gave up the opportunity to be in the same group with him.
Seeing Pei Haotian worried about supplies, she became anxious too. She had food but didn't have the courage to give it to him, and she was always worried that Pei Haotian had no food to eat.
In Bai Yinyin's impression, she couldn't imagine that a gifted child like Pei Haotian would go hungry.
In the end, Bai Yinyin couldn't sit still anymore and found an excuse to leave.
Bai Yinyin returned to her tent. She did not touch the supplies she shared with Shao Yi. She only took the part that Shao Yi gave her. The nut biscuits and self-heating rice contained Shao Yi's allergens. After getting the supplies, Shao Yi gave these things to Bai Yinyin.
She carried the supplies and went to where Pei Haotian was stationed first.
Pei Haotian was not there, and only Shan Yanli was there. She was so hungry that her face turned pale and she sat slumped on the beach to save energy and reduce emissions.
Shan Yanli's attitude was normal, and she asked calmly, "What are you doing here?"
Bai Yinyin didn't want to talk to her. She looked around but still didn't see Pei Haotian.
As soon as Shan Yanli saw her movements, she knew what Bai Yinyin was here for.
She laughed mockingly and said, "You came to my door in just one day."
After she finished speaking, she noticed what Bai Yinyin was holding in her hand, and instantly realized that Bai Yinyin was coming to bring food to Pei Haotian, or rather, to bring food to her.
In an instant, Shan Yanli's attitude changed 180 degrees. She happily got up from the ground and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Are you here to bring us food? Yinyin, you're so kind. I didn't have lunch today and I'm starving."
As Shan Yanli spoke, she reached out to snatch the thing from Bai Yinyin's hand.
How could Bai Yinyin let her succeed? She held the food tightly and took a step back, leaving Shan Yanli empty-handed.
Shan Yanli's face changed slightly, her mind raced, and she deliberately shouted loudly, "What's wrong? You brought food here, weren't you bringing it to me? Then who are you sending it to?"
She just didn't believe that Bai Yinyin dared to admit her relationship with Pei Haotian on the show and dared to say that she came specifically to deliver food to Pei Haotian.
As long as Bai Yinyin dared to say it, she would be scolded to death by Pei Haotian's fans.
Bai Yinyin really didn't dare, and her hands that were tightly holding the food gradually relaxed.
Shan Yanli saw that her plan had succeeded, and she smiled and stretched out her hand to Bai Yinyin again: "You must be tired carrying her all the way here, so give her to me first."
Bai Yinyin was still reluctant in her heart. When Shan Yanli touched the food in her arms, she subconsciously hugged the food she brought tightly.
This time, Yanli stopped being polite and grabbed the food with both hands, saying, "You brought us food today. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Not only me, but Teacher Pei will remember it too."
When Bai Yinyin heard Shan Yanli mention Pei Haotian, she was stunned and didn't dare to use any more force. As soon as she lost strength in her hand, the thing was snatched away by Shan Yanli.
She rummaged through her pockets with satisfaction and waved Bai Yinyin away: "It's getting late, I won't keep you here."
Bai Yinyin stood in the scorching sun for a while, wanting to say something, but knowing that nothing she said would be appropriate, she turned around and left silently.
Shan Yanli held the bag of food in her arms like a baby. She poked her head out and saw Bai Yinyin walking away. Then she sat back in her original seat and couldn't wait to open the bag.
Peanut crumb cookies, Kung Pao Chicken self-heating pot, and corn sausage are all her favorites. She can't stop drooling just by seeing the patterns on them.
She was about to open the bag and eat it when a hand suddenly appeared beside her and snatched the thing from her hand.
Shan Yanli turned around and saw that it was Pei Haotian who came back.
Shan Yanli, who was about to eat alone, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately changed her expression to joy: "Teacher Pei, you are back. I was just about to look for you. Guess who brought this?"
Need we guess? There were only two people who could produce the cookies and the self-heating pan, and only one person could deliver them.
"Who asked you to accept it?" Pei Haotian's face looked ugly.
"They came all the way here to send it to me, it would be wrong not to accept it."
If he accepted Bai Yinyin's help, where would his face be?
Pei Haotian put the things Shan Yanli took out back into his pocket and said, "I'll send it back to her."
Shan Yanli was immediately distraught: "Why should we send it back? We haven't eaten anything today. They sent it to us, so why can't we eat it?"
"If you're hungry, go find something to eat. If you just lie there, you'll starve."
Shan Yanli muttered, "There's a portion for me in there, you should at least leave me half."
Pei Haotian scoffed, "Give it to you? Does she know you?"
Pei Haotian kept his word and left with the food Bai Yinyin brought.
Shan Yanli looked at his heartless back, stomped her feet in anger, kicked the sand, sat back in her original seat and pulled the grass beside her to vent her anger.
Pei Haotian was fast and caught up with Bai Yinyin in less than ten minutes.
He threw the things into Bai Yinyin's arms: "Take it back, I haven't fallen to the point where I need your help."
This was the first time Bai Yinyin had spoken to Pei Haotian in the past two days. Facing Pei Haotian's questioning, she thought she had done something unnecessary and was a little overwhelmed: "Have you solved the food problem?"
This question made Pei Haotian depressed. The alliance he had with Tong Wenping in the morning collapsed. He tried to make a fishing net according to Tong Wenping's method, but the result was just as Jing Ye's sister said, it was unrealistic and it was impossible to weave a fishing net with straw ropes.
In the end, he could only follow Jing Ye's sister's advice and go to the woods to find food. He was lucky enough to find some wild fruits and tomatoes, as well as a nest of bird eggs.
Although I had something to fill my stomach, it didn’t solve the food problem at all.
Pei Haotian's face was gloomy: "Don't worry about this."
Bai Yinyin bit her lip, thinking that her guess was right. Pei Haotian had enough food now, but she had rashly gone to disturb him, making Pei Haotian unhappy.
Bai Yinyin felt a sense of grievance.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you. I know you can find food, I was inconsiderate." After apologizing, she hugged her things, lowered her head and trotted away.
Pei Haotian looked at Bai Yinyin's back and frowned. He wanted to catch up with her, but then he remembered that the current situation was inappropriate.
He was standing there and hadn't had time to move when he suddenly smelled the aroma of food, like barbecue.
This reminded him of the fragrance he smelled last night, and the feeling of being tempted by the gluttony came up again.
He followed the source of the fragrance as if possessed, and unknowingly arrived at the home of Jing Ye and his sister.
A beautiful little house was newly built next to the wooden house that collapsed yesterday. A fire was built in front of the house, and something was roasting on the fire, emitting an enticing aroma, full of the breath of life.
Compared with his own life over there, Pei Haotian could only think of two words: desolate.
The answer was revealed last night, and what lay before Pei Haotian was the cruel truth, a truth he didn't want to face.
He couldn't bear to see Jing Ye living better than him, and didn't want to see it anymore because he was prone to heart attack, so he planned to leave quietly.
But Jing Ye had sharp eyes and spotted him immediately.
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Haotian? How did you find time to come over and visit? Come on, come on, sit down quickly."
Pei Haotian failed to leave, so he had to bite the bullet and stop.
Jing Ye greeted him warmly over there, asking him to come and see what they had accomplished today.
"Brother Haotian, come and smell it. This is a big lobster that my Ah Fu found while diving. Come and smell it and see if it smells good."
"There are also abalone as big as the palm of your hand. Have you seen them? They are all caught one by one from the sea by my husband, Ah Fu."
"Look at this sea urchin. Isn't the color beautiful? It's a horse dung sea urchin. Do you know how sweet a freshly caught horse dung sea urchin is?"
Jing Ye was showing off his sister, showing off his capable sister.
Pei Haotian didn't pay any attention to what Jing Ye was saying. All he had eyes for was the seafood.
He thought there were only small shells and conchs to pick up on the beach, but he never expected that he could catch such large lobsters, abalone and sea urchins.
Since Jing Ye’s sister can catch lobsters, why can’t he?
Pei Haotian was extremely excited and wanted to run to the beach right now.
"No, I'm just about to go to the sea to catch some seafood."
Jing Ye laughed as if he heard a joke.
"You want to go fishing for seafood?"
Pei Haotian was very unhappy with Jing Ye's attitude. He said with a dark face: "Why? Is it not possible?"
"You'd better not go into the sea." Ming Fu advised him enthusiastically, "It's risky for someone without diving training to go into the sea."
Don't let her brother get involved because of your involvement in the adult entertainment industry.
Jing Ye smiled even more happily when he heard his sister supporting him.
"Did you hear that? My sister has an AOW diving certificate. Oh, you must not know what an AOW diving certificate is. With an AOW diving certificate, you can dive to a depth of 28 meters and hold your breath for more than ten minutes. Isn't that amazing?" Jing Ye raised his chin proudly.
"My sister, who has an AOW diving certificate, said, 'You're a person with no skills at all, and you still want to go into the sea to find food? That's like a dung beetle going out to eat, looking for shit.'"
The author has something to say:
