Chapter 40 Completely Isolated on the Island
"In that case, it's best to deal with these sources of infection as soon as possible!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yizhou strode into the house.
When he came out, he was carrying a can of gasoline.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Haiwang was taken aback when he saw this.
Lu Yizhou ignored him completely, unscrewed the cap, and poured gasoline directly onto the cart and the tattered clothes.
After the bucket was empty, he casually threw it on the ground.
Then he took out a match from his pocket, struck it on the side, and with a "sizzle," a flame shot up.
Lu Yizhou raised his hand and flicked it.
The matchstick streaked through the air and landed precisely on the clothes.
Crash!
The gasoline ignited immediately upon contact with an open flame, illuminating the entire yard in the blink of an eye.
"Ouch!" Jiang Haiwang slapped his thigh in frustration and yelled at the young man next to him, "What are you all standing there for? Go and call for help!"
"……oh oh!"
The young man was so frightened by Lu Yizhou's domineering aura that he shuddered and scrambled out to get help.
The fire spread rapidly and grew larger.
Seeing that the commotion was about to spread to the side room, Jiang Fuhai became so anxious that his eyes turned red and his expression became ferocious.
Ignoring the pain in his buttocks, he rushed into the house, grabbed a basin, filled it with water, and tried to put out the fire.
A drop in the ocean.
The fire not only did not diminish in the slightest, but sparks also splashed onto him, causing him to jump around in agony.
He looked exactly like a monkey.
"Let's go!"
Lu Yizhou, expressionless, pulled Shi Yu out.
...
Once they reached a safe place outside, Lu Yizhou finally released Shi Yu.
He stared at her intently.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Lu Yizhou was just staring at her without saying a word, Shi Yu tilted her head, looking puzzled.
"Shi Yu!" Lu Yizhou rubbed his throbbing temples, his tone slightly reproachful, "Next time something happens, can you please not be so impulsive?"
Was I impulsive?
Shi Yu thought for a moment.
Then, she shook her head seriously and said solemnly, "No! I've always been like this; I repay kindness with kindness, but as for grudges..."
"We will definitely repay them double, and we will not let it go overnight."
As she spoke, Shi Yu raised her hand in a show of defiance and shook her little fist.
"Heh!" With his arms crossed, Lu Yizhou's lips twitched involuntarily, a forced smile playing on his lips. "So, it's something to be proud of, huh?"
"That's natural."
"Do you know how many damp insects are on that cart? If they get on you, they'll bite you to death."
Mentioning this, Shi Yu smiled, her expression becoming even more relaxed. "Don't worry! It's just a tiny damp bug; it can't do anything to me."
"..."
Lu Yizhou was completely speechless.
"It's like casting pearls before swine." With that, he turned and left.
But she already had a plan in mind.
...
When Shi Yu got home, he handed the hundred yuan to Huang Ying.
When Huang Ying learned that the money was from Jiang Haiwang to buy coarse salt, and that he was giving her so much more as a reward, she was shocked.
"He's actually being so kind? Has the sun risen in the west?"
"Who cares? I'll just take it if they give it to me."
Shi Yu smiled.
Then, she took a serious look at Huang Ying.
The clothes she was wearing were black, worn out from being worn for so long, and had two patches.
"Mom, take the five feet of blue floral fabric I bought and make yourself a dress!"
"I'll make it for you! Mother can just wear her old clothes."
"That pattern is a bit old-fashioned and doesn't suit me."
"……Oh well!"
"Oh, and that box of face cream, you have to apply it every morning and night, don't forget."
...
The next day, everyone who passed by the Shi Yu family's doorway avoided them like the plague.
Not only did they walk around it, but they also kept pointing and commenting.
Because the news had spread early in the morning.
Last night, Shi Yu was at Jiang Haiwang's house when he accidentally fell onto a cart full of wet insects.
And since she had offended the Shi family, there was absolutely no way Shi Jiaojiao would sell him the medicine.
If there are large areas of skin ulceration that are beyond medical help, isn't that just waiting to die?
They'll die a horrible death!
Shi Yu discovered this situation while sunbathing in the yard.
Instead of giving these ignorant people disdainful looks, Shi Yu looked relaxed and carefree, completely unconcerned.
Not only that, she was in a very good mood.
She also learned something else from what people passing by outside were saying.
Jiang Haiwang's house was in turmoil for a long time last night.
Although many people went to help later, the fire was simply too big.
When the fire was finally extinguished, not only were Jiang Haiwang's hair and eyebrows ripped off, but his side room was also burned down.
I heard that Jiang Haiwang couldn't withstand the blow, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Due to geological issues, building a house on Heishan Island is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it very difficult.
It's no wonder Jiang Haiwang was so angry that he lost his temper.
"Seasonal fish!"
Shi Yu was enjoying herself when someone suddenly called her name.
Shi Yu subconsciously turned her head to look at the door.
"Lu Yizhou, what brings you here?" Shi Yu asked, looking at Lu Yizhou with a puzzled expression as she walked over.
Now, people on Heishan Island, young and old alike, avoid her house, taking detours and wishing they could stay far away from it.
Why did he take the initiative to approach her?
"Here, take this." Lu Yizhou held out his hand.
"What is it?" Shi Yu looked down curiously. "Shi Jiaojiao's medicine?"
"Hmm! This medicine works quite well. If you get bitten, just apply it to the affected area."
Lu Yizhou pulled Shi Yu's hand and placed the two pieces of medicine directly into her palm.
"Thanks!"
Shi Yu smiled at him.
Although the medicine didn't work, she appreciated Lu Yizhou's kindness, and she never liked owing others anything; she preferred to reciprocate kindness.
"Lu Yizhou, I'll treat you to something nice." With that, Shi Yu took out a piece of milk candy from her pocket and, taking advantage of Lu Yizhou's inattention, stuffed it into his mouth.
She made this candy with leftover goat milk.
It looks rather rough, but it tastes quite good.
Lu Yizhou narrowed his eyes. "What is that?"
Staring at his face, Shi Yu suddenly wanted to tease him, so she deliberately moved closer to him mysteriously, "The antidote for dampness worms! I developed it."
"Believe it or not, it's much more effective than Shi Jiaojiao's."
"Hehe!" Lu Yizhou chuckled dryly twice.
He doesn't believe a damn thing!
At this moment, Shi Yu narrowed his eyes, his expression a mixture of emotions.
As the distance closed, the energy emanating from Lu Yizhou seemed to come alive, making her heart itch with desire.
“Lu Yizhou…”
After taking a deep breath, Shi Yu finally couldn't hold back.
She couldn't help but slowly reach out her hand to him.
Fingertips lightly touched the fabric, gliding slowly like a dragonfly skimming the water...
