"Looks like we'll have grapes to eat tonight."
When Qin Lan saw me come back, she hurried over to help me get my things.
"That's more than that."
I put the grapes aside and slowly took the coconut out of the bag.
"Wow, what a bountiful harvest."
Qin Lan looked at me with admiration. It was obvious that she had not expected that I could bring back so much food.
"Not only this, but there will be more to eat in the future."
I leaned against the rock wall somewhat exhausted, touching Qin Lan's pretty head lovingly, but this time, Qin Lan did not resist.
"There are two more coconut trees like this there, and on the way back I found a few grape vines. I think I can pick some and eat them in the next few days."
It was already half dark. Qin Lan had woven the bed this afternoon. Of course, we couldn't sleep on it like this, so we still needed to put palm leaves on it.
Since it was the first day we arrived at this nest, we didn't make a fire to prevent other dangers. I cut a hole in the coconut and handed it to Qin Lan. Although she could only eat some fruit tonight, she was very satisfied.
As for why I need coconuts so much, we don’t have bottles to fill the drinking water here, so the coconut shell becomes a convenient container for our mouths. In this way, we have containers to hold food and water.
After dinner, I found a few stones outside the cave. After all, the cave was too small and couldn't accommodate anything. I temporarily piled up the stones into a small bed, then put some grass and trees in the middle and placed the bed I had made in advance on it.
"You sleep on it tonight."
I pushed Qin Lan, indicating that she should sleep on the bed.
"What about you?"
Qin Lan didn't lie down immediately, but asked where I was going.
"This is our first day here, and we're still unsure if there will be any danger in the middle of the night, so someone has to keep watch. You go to sleep tonight, and I'll keep watch."
"No, how about I stay here and you take a nap? You're exhausted after a long day."
Qin Lan said this considerately, which made my heart feel warm.
"I was a soldier before, and I've encountered all kinds of situations. But if you get sick and exhausted, I still have to take care of you. Wouldn't that make me even more tired?"
"Well...ok then. If you're sleepy, just wake me up and I'll take your place."
Perhaps because she felt that what I said made sense, Qin Lan stopped arguing with me and went to bed obediently.
The night passed quickly, and I woke up outside the cave the next day. I fell asleep with my hands on my knees. When I woke up, I was covered with several palm leaves. I knew without guessing that it must be Qin Lan.
"Awake so early?"
I awkwardly accepted the coconut handed to me by Qin Lan. I was amazed that this woman could get up so early in the morning.
"That's nothing. When I was in the company, I had to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning."
While drinking coconut juice, I unconsciously looked up at Qin Lan. Actually, this girl didn't look that bad at this moment. It was just that the world had changed and she was not used to it yet.
"What are we going to do today?"
After a simple breakfast, Qin Lan asked about the itinerary again.
"Still - survive, today we build a house."
"Build a house?"
Qin Lan looked at me in surprise. Of course, I didn’t understand that my thoughts were a bit crazy.
"We are now on the other side of the island, but one day other people will come here. If we don't have our own shelter, we will probably be eaten by others."
Today we only brought a shovel and two backpacks. As for the other things, I covered them with vegetation.
I took Qin Lan to the depression where I visited yesterday.
"Remember, we only want clay today, not coconut."
After saying that, I started digging vigorously with a shovel. This time, Qin Lan didn't ask me why, but just focused on working hard.
It took Qin Lan and I an entire morning to go back and forth 6 or 7 times, and we finally built a small mound in front of the cave.
The next thing we need to do is build a house.
There is an endless supply of fresh water in the cave, but the flow is too small, so Qin Lan and I have to wait a long time every time to drink water.
Now that I have the clay, I diverted the spring water to the right side of the cave, and then built a pool with stones and clay. This makes it much more convenient for us to get water.
After finishing the pool, I used stones and clay to build the bed. After finishing these things, I suddenly remembered the things in my backpack.
I walked outside the cave and found a small clearing.
The soil in the open space is relatively loose, so the military shovel works very well.
I dug a big hole and then took the bag out of the hole.
After determining the location, I planted the bag.
"What are you doing?"
Qin Lan was a little puzzled seeing my strange behavior.
"This bag contains a black box. I'm afraid I might lose it, so I'm hiding it. If we're rescued in the future, it will be useful."
The black box records the criminal evidence of the terrorist organization, so I can't lose it no matter what. Instead of carrying it with me all day long in fear, I might as well put it safely here first.
As for Xiao Chen, I always believe that he is closely related to the terrorist organization, but all this is still unknown. It is not convenient for me to tell Qin Lan about the secret of the black box at this time.
It was getting late, and it was another night. Qin Lan still didn't try to keep me tonight. I fell asleep alone hugging the earth. If the cave was big enough, I really wanted to install two beds in it. It would be so painful.
