Chapter 5

The purpose of cutting banana leaves is simply because they are large, which makes it easier to wrap food or cushion things. The leaves picked up at sea before were too small. Although the newly cut coconut leaves are also large, their shape is definitely not suitable for wrapping things.

Qiao Sheng took a large banana leaf and used a rope to pass it through the edge of the leaf. Then he stacked the banana leaves on top to form a net bag, so that he could put the freshly picked coconuts and bananas in.

Considering the load-bearing capacity of the banana leaves, he did not dare to hang them directly on his body. He was afraid that if he dragged them on the ground, the banana leaves would be worn out and he would not be able to reach the float.

Finally, she put a wooden board on the place where the banana leaves touched the ground, and tied a rope between the wooden board and the banana leaf stalk, so that Qiao Sheng could hang the rope on her shoulder and pull the things back like a cart.

The temporary cart loaded with more than a dozen coconuts and a few bunches of bananas had reached Qiao Sheng's load limit. Looking at the supplies on the ground, she stuffed some large leaves into the cart without giving up, and then walked towards the float with heavy steps.

As soon as she walked out of the forest on the island and saw the location of her float, she found a man standing on the shore looking at her float. Not far away, there was another 4*4 float parked, which was obviously a circle larger than Qiao Sheng's nine small floats.

Qiao Sheng, who originally wanted to hide and observe secretly, suddenly remembered that she was still a novice and could not attack others. In addition, although she had been trying her best to pull the rope close to the wooden board, the banana leaves on her newly made leaf cart were also severely worn and would soon break under the heavy load. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to walk towards the floating board with the iron gun in her hand.

When she passed by the man, she politely said "excuse me". The other party not only stepped aside to make way, but also lent a hand when she was struggling to pull the cart onto the floating board.

This action confused Qiao Sheng. What did this big brother mean? Was he here to help others?

"What's the matter with you?" After unloading the burden on her body, Qiao Sheng took a bottle of fresh water from the rope tied to her body and asked while drinking.

"You are the first living person I have seen in two days. I came here to say hello, but I found that for some reason, I can't get on your boat." After finally seeing someone, Li Mu opened up immediately. In fact, he doesn't talk that much usually, this time he was just holding it in.

"Can't get on?" Qiao Sheng heard the other party say this and quickly checked the status of his boat. Sure enough, a prompt appeared: [Stranger Li Mu wants to get on the boat, do you agree? Note: In the stranger status, each time you get on the boat, you need the owner's consent. ]

This setting is pretty good. People who don't know can't get on the boat, which directly prevents bad people from getting on the boat to steal things when she is not there.

"It seems to be a game setting. You need the owner's consent before you can get on the boat." Qiao Sheng told the other party the information she saw. It's not that she is not on guard against others, but the setting that you can't hurt others during the novice period makes her a little braver. Most importantly, as a face control, she can't be aggressive when she suddenly sees a gentle boy. It's too embarrassing.

"So that's how it is. Then I'm going to explore the island. Do you want to join us?" Li Mu's behavior is completely due to the human habit of living in groups. If there is a chance, he still wants to travel with others.

"You go first. I just came back. I have to rest for a while. I have to go in and move the planks I cut down later." A calm attitude does not mean that you have to travel together. Just watch from a distance to cultivate your eyes. At this stage, she is still wary.

Li Mu did not react to being rejected. He said goodbye to Qiao Sheng cheerfully, went back to his own float, packed up, and left with his small leather bag. Qiao Sheng looked at the other party's equipment with considerable envy.

Seeing the other party walking away, Qiao Sheng got off his own float, approached the other party's float to observe it, and came back with resentment.

How could the difference between the other party and mine be so big when we are both trying to survive? The difference between the other party's float and mine is not in the number of floats, but in quality!

The most obvious thing is that the other party's float has been hung with fishing nets around it, while mine has a simple water filter and grill. The water filter on the other party's float is obviously much more advanced, and it seems that it does not even need to add fuel. It is an automatic filtering glass product.

As for eating this piece, there seems to be no simple grill on the floating board opposite, but there is a grill, and there is even a stove next to it, with a big iron pot on it, and a small stove next to it, which is filled with various pots and bowls.

Qiao Sheng is still drying them on the floating board. Several drying racks have been set up opposite, and several fish and meat are drying at this moment. As he looked at them, he realized something was wrong. Those pieces of meat drying were obviously not fish. Did this brother go hunting? Why are there other kinds of meat?

These were enough to surprise Qiao Sheng. She felt even more sad as she continued to watch. He actually had a bed. Although it was made of wooden boards and banana leaves, the pillow and quilt on it were made of cloth. She hadn't seen cloth for two days! She just slept anywhere on the floating board these two days. What

made Qiao Sheng most curious was that there was a corner on the opposite floating board. Two sides were blocked by wooden boards, and the other two sides were blocked by huge banana leaves. She stretched her head to look for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. Qiao Sheng decided that she must talk more with the handsome guy and his belongings when he came back. Tears of envy flowed from the corners of her mouth.

There was also the small leather bag that the other party carried out. She clearly saw that the other party stuffed a lot of water and food into it. The small bag was not bulging at all. It must be something from the game, just like her storage box, with grids inside to store things.

What should I use to exchange good things with the other party? Qiao Sheng returned to his float and tried to open coconuts with a gun while thinking about how to trick the other party into exchanging. The unhandy tools and hard coconuts almost stabbed his hands several times.

Abandoning the gun, Qiao Sheng found the rare metal steel that he had opened from the drifting bottle in the storage box before, and added other materials to make a machete. As expected, the rare materials were used, and the tool was sharp and handy.

He quickly cut off the outer hard shells of a dozen coconuts. He thought that after cutting off the outer skin, he would be able to see the tender white coconut meat, but he didn't expect that there was a layer of fiber inside. After tearing off the coconut fiber, there was another layer of hard shell. Qiao Sheng felt overwhelmed. In the past, when he bought coconut products in the market, the stall owners either dug a hole for him to drink the coconut milk directly, or he bought the young coconut in small plastic boxes.

Who would have thought that after picking the coconut from the tree, there would be three layers inside and three layers outside. Considering that the coconut meat and coconut water should be found after opening, Qiao Sheng first picked out more than ten coconuts, and then looked for something to hold coconut juice on the floating board. After all, her family was poor, and all the glass bottles had been filled with fresh water. She

felt bad about pouring out the coconut water directly, and while she was sitting in front of the storage box looking for a container, she heard someone greet her.

"Hello, look, this pile of wooden boards is yours, right? I saw you brought back coconuts and bananas, so I went to cut some too. You left these things over there, so I just took them back so you don't have to make another trip. Check to see if the quantity is correct. I'll remove the ropes, otherwise it will be difficult to put them in your bag." Qiao Sheng turned her head and saw the handsome guy squatting a little awkwardly near her float, constantly taking wooden boards out of his small leather bag. Soon there were quite a few wooden boards next to him, and even her ropes on the boards.

"Oh, thank you so much. I was just thinking of moving these coconuts after I packed them up. Thanks for your help. By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Qiao Sheng. I was inexplicably dragged into this game two days ago. Here, I'll give you a freshly opened coconut to taste." Qiao Sheng, who originally didn't want to communicate with strangers, compromised. His attitude can be described as amiable.

The gap between the rich and the poor is too big. If you don't act actively when you are clinging to the big guys, you have a problem with your brain.

"Nothing, nothing. No need to be so polite. Thank you. My name is Li Mu. I was also pulled into the game two days ago." Li Mu was a little confused when he saw Qiao Sheng's attitude change so much. Just now, this guy had an expression that rejected him a thousand miles away. How come he changed so much when he just helped to move some wooden boards? He opened the coconut in his hand with a few bangs and handed it to him without any refusal.

Qiao Sheng bared his big teeth and told Li Mu happily that he was going to collect more supplies on this island. The first step was to learn how to make a big iron pot. He wanted to boil some coconut oil, but he had no tools.

As soon as the topic was brought up, there was no need for any lead-in. Li Mu automatically continued to talk along the lines of what Qiao Sheng said, like he had a cast-iron pot, he could build a stove, and he even had some coconuts that had been dried in the sun.

As he was talking, he returned to his own floating board and moved to Qiao Sheng's side one trip at a time. When Qiao Sheng agreed to let Li Mu get on the floating board

, she was ready to put the machete in her hand. After all, the other party was so aggressive that she had to be on guard. Unexpectedly, Li Mu seemed to be here simply to deliver goods, one trip after another. After Qiao Sheng had arranged everything, he even got off the floating board considerately and stood at a distance to look at Qiao Sheng.

This action completely confused Qiao Sheng. Was he laying out bait to catch a big fish, or did he meet a kind person?

Under Qiao Sheng's questioning gaze, Li Mu scratched his head and said embarrassedly that he was a kitchen idiot. Some of these things were made by him, and some were made by him using diagrams. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to use them. These days, he only ate dried meat and boiled meat, so he was so excited when he heard Qiao Sheng say that he could make coconut oil.

As a social person, Qiao Sheng thought he was quite accurate in judging people. Li Mu was obviously someone who had not worked for a long time, was not good at socializing, and put everything on the table. The key point was that he was not on guard against people, as if there were no bad people in his eyes. Such people would easily suffer losses when playing games.

Thinking that he could remind the other party when they separated, it was better not to say too much now, as it would be too depressing. Qiao Sheng took the coconuts that Li Mu had already dried and began to clean up. During this time, Li Mu returned to his float and took clay to make two large water tanks for Qiao Sheng.
