It was a very clever, furry creature. It peeked out from the bushes, looked around, and then darted out like lightning and disappeared into the moonlight.
Also disappearing were the peeled varietal bananas that Sang Ning had left under the banana tree.
In the following period, Sanning and Emmanuel did not discover any new species, but they did find freshwater resources.
There was a small puddle on the edge of the woods. Although the puddle was small, the water was very clear and plentiful, and it was running water.
Let's prepare dinner here.
Sang Ning suggested, "It's more convenient to use water."
Emmanuel hesitated for a moment, "Louis and the others don't know."
"Go back and inform them."
"Your safety?"
Sang Ning patted his waist and said, "Don't worry, I brought all the medicine powder with me. I'll use it if there's any danger."
"It's not very lethal, but it can alleviate my crisis."
Then she asked Emmanuel, "Are you feeling any more at ease?"
No.
However, "yes".
Looking at her face, which seemed to glow in the moonlight, Emmanuel instructed, "Then take care of yourself. I'll be right back."
"Know."
Sang Ning waved his hand, signaling him to hurry up.
Then, Emmanuel left, looking back every few steps, clearly very uneasy.
Sang Ning found that look in his eyes very strange.
Once Emmanuel was out of sight, she picked up stones to build a stove and said, "I felt like Emmanuel was looking at me strangely."
The audience, with their God-like perspective, found the sound delightful.
[That's strange, isn't it? That's the look of a father worrying about his daughter.]
Aren't you a couple?
[Upstairs, do you have something wrong with your eyes? Is that how you look at a couple? What couple would look at their partner like that? Whenever I want to do something, and my dad doesn't want to but doesn't want to refuse, he likes to look at me like that.]
The same look Emmanuel gave Sanning just now.
Yes, my dad sees me that way too. Every time he looks at me like that, he hopes I'll succumb to his gaze and do what he wants, but the truth is, I always disappoint him.
Now that you've mentioned it, I think I understand why Emmanuel kept turning back. I reckon he hopes Sang Ning will change her mind and go with him, or that Sang Ning will ask him to stay.
[What will happen to Louis and the others if Sang Ning really does what he wants?]
[Don't worry too much. Two big men like them can't be carried away by a fish, they'll come looking for themselves.]
This viewer's words proved prophetic; Louis and his group really did come looking for them.
On the way, they met Emmanuel. Seeing that Sunning was not there and only Emmanuel was there, Elliott, who was carrying three large lobsters, asked worriedly, "Where is Sunning?"
"You're leaving her alone? She won't be able to handle any danger that might arise."
His words were full of disapproval of Emmanuel leaving Sanning alone.
Louis looked at him with displeasure.
Emmanuel sighed and explained, "She brought the medicine powder. If we go and come back quickly, there shouldn't be any problems."
"OK!"
Their concern for Sanning being alone outweighed everything else, and Elliott and the others didn't bother to attack Emmanuel anymore. They quickly followed him to meet up with Sanning.
They also carried a basket to hold mangoes along the way.
Almost as soon as Sang Ning finished setting up the stove and lighting the fire, Emmanuel and the others returned.
“You’re back, Emma,”
Her words trailed off when she saw the giant lobsters Elliott was carrying. Looking at the three lobsters, each as long as her arm, she exclaimed in surprise, "Where did these lobsters come from?"
She didn't know what kind of shrimp it was, but she was sure it was a deep-sea shrimp.
Even if it's not from the deep sea, it couldn't possibly be a shrimp from a shallow sea area.
Shrimp from shallow waters don't grow this big, and they look delicious.
She could already imagine how fresh and plump the meat inside these lobsters would be after they were shelled.
"We can finally have a proper meal."
Looking at these large lobsters, a string of ways to eat them popped into Sang Ning's mind.
I wasn't very hungry after eating a big mango, but mangoes aren't exactly a proper food. They were filling at the time, but the hunger returned soon after.
She wanted to eat rice, meat, and some leafy greens.
Leafy greens might be a bit difficult to find, but that's okay, they brought dried black fungus, kelp, nori, and dried mushrooms, among other things.
Black fungus, mushrooms, and kelp need to be soaked, which may take too long, but seaweed can be made into soup in no time.
So, after swallowing hard, Sang Ning decisively said, "How about we have white rice, lobster, and some egg drop and seaweed soup?"
"A bit too little."
Louis took down the basket from his back and handed it over. "There are still crabs and mantis shrimp here. Shall we cook them together?"
"good."
Sang Ning took the basket and looked at it, finding that there were quite a few crabs and mantis shrimp.
She asked in bewilderment, "There's no high or low tide here, where did you catch these lobsters, crabs, and mantis shrimps?"
"Found it in the sea."
Sang Ning responded with an "oh," and while directing them around in circles, she also got busy herself.
They have two pots, one made of shape memory metal and the other large iron pot from Clyde.
The large iron pot was left to Clyde and his group, while the one made of memory metal, Sunning and his group took it with them.
Crabs are steamed directly, while lobsters are grilled because they are too big.
Emmanuel and the others each roasted one bamboo tube, while Sanning was in charge of preparing the dipping sauce and making bamboo rice.
That's right, the staple food is bamboo rice.
Bamboo was sourced locally; there was a bamboo grove not far from the water pit. Sang Ning had Emmanuel cut down a large bamboo and bring it back. Seven sections were taken to make bamboo rice. The remaining bamboo was not wasted; it was all cut into sections and made into bamboo cups to hold fresh water.
Because they didn't know where the next island was, or even if they did find an island, they wouldn't know if they could find freshwater resources.
As I said before, it's fine to drink coconut juice occasionally, but it's not really enough to quench your thirst and replenish your fluids.
Therefore, the more fresh water the better.
Anyway, once boiled and cooled, it can be stored in a bamboo tube and covered without spoiling.
Forty minutes later, Sang Ning announced that dinner was served.
The four sat on the ground, bathed in the bright moonlight, with the sound of waves in their ears and the salty sea breeze blowing in their faces. Taking a bite of the plump, tender lobster meat was an indescribably wonderful experience.
Sang Ning and the others ate heartily, even though it was so hot they had to blow on it, they couldn't stop eating one bite after another.
The audience watched, swallowing hard, shamelessly craving the food.
I ordered takeout, but it didn't taste as good as what Sang Ning and her place ordered.
[Because they lacked atmosphere, the ambiance they created is truly amazing; I really want to experience it in person.]
[Going to a holographic capsule is possible, but it will most likely leave you feeling increasingly empty and unsatisfied.]
Hehehe, I'm on Ocean Star. I've already packed my gear and called my family to head to the beach.
