Chapter 26

After swimming in the sea for a while, I only picked up some seafood and kelp, dug some mud and sand, and didn’t see any rare metals. I swam in the sea for several hours without giving up, until I felt that I was about to run out of energy, and then I went straight back to the shore. Although I didn’t find any rare metals, my bag was full.

I walked slowly towards my boat along the shore in the direction I had just swam from. Not long after I walked, I saw the wreckage of the boat. Only then did I understand what was wrong when I first landed on the island.

The forest on this island had obviously been cut down by someone. There was a missing piece here, and there was a missing piece there. The system asked again after shouting it out. After confirming that there were no players nearby, it approached the wreckage of the ship.

When it got closer, it was clear that the ship was blown to pieces, and many wooden boards were burnt. Qiao Sheng did not dare to board the charred ship, so he could only stand on the shore and look inside.

This ship should also have wooden walls, but now it has been destroyed. There are only a few roots of the wooden walls left on the burnt floating planks.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that the number of these floating planks was wrong. There were too many. Her own ship had been upgraded to level 2, and she knew very well how many floating planks were needed to upgrade the ship by one level. There was no need for floating planks to go up.

Standing there and carefully counting the number of floating boards left on the ship, it suddenly occurred to him that this should not be one ship, but two!

Because they were too close, the large ship with wooden walls exploded, and when it burned, it also burned the other first-level ship with only floating boards.

After coming to this conclusion, Qiao Sheng knew that there must be a player who harmed people. The owner of this large ship was probably tricked, otherwise it would be impossible for the entire island to be without a single player.

He could no longer see the flowers, and Qiao Sheng moved away from the wreckage and prepared to return to his ship. As soon as he stepped back a little, he saw a few unburned wooden boards on the shore, with blood stains on them.

After walking closer and looking carefully, she found that there were more than a dozen such wooden boards in different places. She didn't dare to go on the wreckage. Just looking at these bloody wooden boards, she knew that the situation was still quite intense.

"Did someone get blown to pieces? The blood sprayed all over the wooden boards? No, there are only a few places with blood spraying, and the rest are just a whole pool of blood." Qiao Sheng frowned slightly.

He lowered his head and fiddled with the bloody wooden boards a few times. Suddenly, he figured it out. The wooden boards with blood spraying were near the wreckage of the ship. It should be that someone was close to the explosion point and was directly blown to pieces. The others were affected and seriously injured and died.

As for not seeing the body yet, it should have been refreshed. Fortunately, she came a little late, otherwise she might not be able to bear the broken limbs and dead bodies that had not yet refreshed. The forensic dramas that she used to watch while eating were different from this kind of direct attack without mosaics.

After rubbing his hand that had just touched the wooden board on the rock next to him, and even kicking the bloody wooden boards in disgust, Qiao Sheng walked back.

After returning to the boat, she sorted out the supplies in her backpack, changed into clean clothes, and quickly went back into the forest. This time, she was going for the trees. She was careless on the last island and didn't cut down a lot of trees. Yesterday's rain consumed a lot of supplies, such as nailing door sills and making water buckets. Even though there was still some stock in the storage box, she decided to prepare for a rainy day and prepare more in advance. With food in hand, she would not panic. People

had been on this island before, and many supplies had not been refreshed. Qiao Sheng didn't bother to look for other ones. She started cutting wood from the forest next to the shore. When it was completely dark, she walked out of the forest. When she was about to get on the boat, she looked back and saw that the forest on this island was even more barren.

After returning to the boat, she first collected the wood planks, leaves and fruits she had cut from the forest. She had sent supplies to the boat three times during this logging trip, and her backpack was still a little small.

With these planks, she didn't have to worry even if it rained again in the next two days. At most, she could use wooden walls to seal off the first floor of the cabin and build a second floor. This was a boat, not a building, so the second floor deck would not be flooded. If that happened, she wouldn't have to struggle, she could just do it.

After a busy day, she had a quick dinner and steamed the last five buns and ate them.

Sure enough, there was lightning and thunder again at night. The rain had been suppressed for a day, and it came hard and fast. It poured down in a few minutes. Even on the shore, her boat was shaking violently.

Qiao Sheng got up from the bed and checked the floating board. Because it was parked in the rocky area, the floating board was hit against the rocks by the waves. The sound scared her. She always felt that the whole boat might be destroyed.

After collecting the anchor, putting on a raincoat and a hat, Qiao Sheng jumped off the boat fully armed, untied the rope tied to the rock, returned to the boat, and waited for the boat to drift away from the island.

But the wind was blowing towards the island. Even without the ropes and anchors, the boat still didn't leave the shore and kept hitting the rocks.

At this moment, Qiao Sheng felt that his brain must have cramped. He knew the weather was bad, but he didn't leave in advance. Now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

Standing at the bow, watching the several floating boards that were hit and gradually cracked, Qiao Sheng decided to save himself. It was not a good idea to just wait for the wind to change.

He took out several wooden boards and long bamboo poles from the storage box, held the bamboo poles against the rocks, and tried to push the boat away from the shore. Qiao Sheng felt that he had used all his strength.

She moved little by little with the bamboo pole. The rain was so heavy that she didn't know how far she had moved or how long it had taken. Slowly, she could no longer hear the sound of the float hitting the rocks. Even though

the sky was covered with dark clouds, when the sun rose, a little light still shone through the thick clouds. During these few hours, Qiao Sheng felt that she was almost exhausted, and she finally rubbed the island to the left side of the boat little by little

. There was no island blocking the way ahead, and the waves finally pushed her boat up on the sea. When the boat was getting farther and farther away from the island, Qiao Sheng put away the broken bamboo poles. She didn't use the wooden planks, but they were all wet because they were kept beside her.

These bamboo poles have been subjected to great force and have been chopped into pieces, but Qiao Sheng thinks they can still be used.

Anyway, when making items, as long as it is bamboo, it should be fine. She usually saws bamboo to make items, so it shouldn't make much difference whether it is bamboo strips or bamboo tubes. Even if she

can't make bamboo tables or chairs, at least she can make a bamboo basket or something. Even if she can't make anything else, she can just dry them in the sun and use them as firewood to burn when cooking. In the final analysis, they can't be wasted.

Qiao Sheng took off her raincoat and hat and hung them on the wooden wall. She was soaked all over. It wasn't because the rain gear was of poor quality, but because she sweated too much. She used an iron pot to make several pots of hot water.

I took a hot bath, washed my hair, changed into clean clothes, and washed all the dirty clothes before leaving the bathroom.

It was raining outside, so I hung the washed clothes in the cabin. If there was no sun, I would dry them in the shade first, and then take them out to dry in the sun when the weather got better.

After I cleaned myself up, I felt so hungry that I was a little dazed. I quickly took a freshly picked apple and ate it while preparing to cook.

She wanted to go to bed directly, but her stomach would not allow it. She was almost hungry. She simply cooked some pork chop soup and steamed some sweet potatoes. She ate and drank enough before going to bed.

When she woke up, there was still a storm outside the cabin, with occasional thunder and lightning. Qiao Sheng looked up at the sky along the bow. Although it was still dim, there was still a ray of light in the dark clouds, which meant it was daytime. First, she

put away the fishing nets in the cabin, put away the cotton in the planting pots, and planted sweet potatoes and peppers again. She put peppers in the dishes every day, and there was not much left.

The reason for planting sweet potatoes is that I want to make some sweet potato starch to thicken rice and make oyster sauce. I made sweet potato vermicelli before, but now the stock is running low.

Since she couldn't go outside the cabin to collect supplies, Qiao Sheng found work for herself inside the cabin. The main thing was that she couldn't be idle.

When she was ready to make dinner, she habitually checked the trading system and saw that the little girl Xia Beibei brought another bottle of vinegar to exchange for rice.

This thing made Qiao Sheng very interested. Where did this thing come from? Although it can't be taken out now, looking at the icon, it is obviously in the drift bottle they picked up. If you say that Xia Beibei made it herself, she doesn't believe it. Making salt and sugar should be in books, but which serious high school teaches the job of making vinegar! Even the high schools in the vinegar-producing provinces don't teach

this! I've never heard of seasonings coming out of a message in a bottle. Even if they can be opened, they can't be in a message in a bottle. It's likely that Xia Beibei exchanged it in the trading system. Maybe because of the bad weather, she didn't have the opportunity to use the colander to collect supplies, so she stayed in the trading system and picked up something.

Still, two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, were fried, with a pot of kelp and fish soup. For the staple food, she had two roasted corns, and she also brought ten apples from the island yesterday.

After completing the order and getting the vinegar bottle, Qiao Sheng solemnly placed it on the stove. He decided to make dumplings tomorrow! And stir-fry some shredded potatoes with vinegar!

Before closing the trading system, I saw that player No. 18 had finally completed the order for the ten buns. I was still curious about why it took him so many days to complete the order. I really couldn't figure it out.

After dinner, I moved a bamboo chair to the doorstep of the bow, watching the heavy rain outside. I was looking down at the shape of the water splashes on the floating board when I heard movement in the rabbit nest behind me. I

walked over and saw that the pregnant female rabbit had actually started giving birth. Qiao Sheng panicked and stood beside the rabbit nest in a panic, not knowing how to help.

It was not until the first little rabbit came out that she realized that she seemed to have a serious illness. Why was she panicking? It was not her who gave birth. The mother rabbit looked calm and had no signs of dystocia. She gave birth one by one, and soon several pink little rabbits came out from her body.

Qiao Sheng looked sideways to observe the newborn rabbits. If it were not for the two little ears that were slightly larger than the body, she would have thought they were mice. They were bald and had no hair. She was caught off guard and saw the mother rabbit breaking her umbilical cord and eating the placenta. This made Qiao Sheng, who had never seen the world, dumbfounded. What kind of operation was this? It was agreed to be a simple birth of a baby, but why was it so bloody and violent?

In the end, she didn't dare to stay away. After the mother rabbit gave birth, she helped count the babies. There were eight, eight in one litter. It was amazing. She wanted to pad these little rabbits with cotton to keep them warm, but she didn't know if the mother rabbit would protect her cubs.

Qiao Sheng carefully stretched out her hand, pretending to touch the little rabbits, but her eyes were fixed on the mother rabbit's reaction. If the other party attacked, she would quickly retreat.

Unexpectedly, the mother rabbit didn't react at all when she saw her hand stretched out, and even kicked the little rabbit to the side, as if she was ready to enjoy it.
