Su Tang was dumbfounded.
These claws are incredibly useful.
She had tried it before; her own claws were not as effective as a dagger!
Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.
Seeing Su Tang's surprised look, Hu Shen's lips curled up slightly.
"The male's claws are used frequently and honed over decades, so they are naturally much sharper than the female's," he explained gently, as if he had seen through Su Tang's thoughts.
Su Tang wanted to take more coconuts, but Hu Shen took them from her again.
"I'll do it."
The pot next to Hu Shen was already set. His hair was messy and he had a short stubble on his lips, but he didn't look sloppy at all.
Instead, it added a messy, wild masculinity.
Su Tang watched him slice a coconut in just over ten seconds, then looked at herself and couldn't bear to look at him.
So he simply stayed on the side and twisted the rope.
She would steal a glance every now and then.
During the day, the sea breeze blows in, ruffling his messy hair and highlighting his sharply defined profile, which is so striking that it makes one's heart race.
Su Tang secretly admired the handsome man, and suddenly remembered the scene of sleeping with him in her arms these past two nights.
And there were things I accidentally saw while helping him change his clothes.
"Cough cough cough..."
She choked on her own saliva.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Hu Shen looked over with concern when he heard the voice.
"N-nothing, I just choked on the water, I'm fine..." Su Tang quickly waved her hand, made an excuse to gather firewood, and slipped out of the cave.
noon.
Su Tang cooked the Tai Sui in a stone pot newly made by Hu Shen.
Thinking that Hu Shen needed to replenish his body, she even went to the beach and picked up a bunch of oysters.
There were fifty or sixty oysters, each bigger than Hu Shen's fist, and Su Tang grilled them all at once.
Since it was just pulled from the sea, it still has the taste of sea salt, so there's no need to add any seasoning.
What is this?
Hu Shen looked at the strange creature in Su Tang's hand, his brows furrowing involuntarily, a hint of resistance in his eyes.
He had never eaten this kind of thing before.
Because he had always lived in the mountains, he ate wild animals that roamed the mountains.
"I found this on the beach yesterday. It's delicious and very good for your health. It's very nourishing. Eat more of it, and you might recover quickly."
Su Tang was very generous and gave most of the oysters to Hu Shen.
Hu Shen frowned and picked up an oyster.
The shell was roasted until it turned a bit black, but the meat inside was still white, and a lot of juice had been rendered out.
For Hu Shen, who had never eaten seafood before, it was quite difficult to swallow.
"Eat it, it's delicious. I'll teach you, just pour it directly into your mouth." Seeing that he didn't move, Su Tang demonstrated for him.
Take a bite and the delicious juices instantly overwhelm your taste buds.
Su Tang really likes seafood. The seafood she's eaten before is nothing compared to the seafood from the ancient continent.
It's a pity there was no wasabi; it would have been even better with some soy sauce and wasabi.
Hu Shen's face was full of resistance.
But remembering what Su Tang had just said, that this thing could help him recover faster, he pinched his nose and swallowed it in one gulp.
It even saves you the trouble of chewing.
To him, oyster meat was no different from insects.
In order to recover as soon as possible and take care of Su Tang, he devoured all the oysters in front of him like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Su Tang smiled and cleaned up the mess.
With this two-pronged approach, Hu Shen should be mostly out of danger now!
After eating several meals of Tai Sui, Hu Shen was able to get up and move around.
In the afternoon, Hu Shen suggested going to find a water source.
Su Tang was worried. "Your injury hasn't healed yet. How about I go with you?"
She was afraid that Hu Shen might faint outside and be eaten by wild animals without her even knowing.
“Okay.” Hu Shen nodded. He was also worried about leaving A Tang alone in the cave.
“I’ve searched the area, but there’s no water source. I’ll probably have to go further,” Su Tang said as they exited the cave.
"fine."
Hu Shen glanced at the terrain, then transformed into his beast form, gesturing for Su Tang to come up.
Su Tang wanted to refuse, but thinking that if the two of them went like this, they probably wouldn't be able to come back at night, so she quickly climbed up.
She carefully avoided the wound and hugged Hu's waist.
Hu Shen has indeed recovered well, and he walks swiftly through the forest. If it weren't for the wounds on his body, it would be hard to tell that he was seriously injured.
After running for about an hour, Su Tang felt that if they continued searching, they would cross the entire island.
Suddenly, the sound of flowing water came from ahead.
The sound was very soft, but Su Tang still heard it.
Hu Shen also stopped, looked around, and quickly locked onto a direction.
The man and the tiger walked through a dense forest and, sure enough, saw a stream.
Behind the bushes was a small, low rocky hill, and the sound of flowing water was coming from up on the hill.
Upon closer inspection, a stream of water, as thin as a finger, was trickling out of the crack in the rock.
The water jet flowed onto a rock, forming a pit the size of a basin, from which it began to overflow.
"It's water!"
Su Tang, beaming with joy, jumped off Hu Shen's back, ignoring the injury on her foot, and ran to the water column with a grimace.
I dipped my index finger in it and tasted it.
“It’s fresh water, this water is drinkable, Hu Shen, let’s fill some up and take it back.”
I drank coconut juice for two days straight, and even the soup was made with coconut juice.
She feels that her urine now tastes like coconut juice.
Fearing the water might not be clean, Su Tang didn't drink it directly. With the water flowing continuously, she couldn't wait to cup her hands and wash her face, then poured some on her arms. The gritty feeling on her body finally felt much better.
The empty coconuts were tied together with straw ropes and hung on Hu Shen's back, eight on each side, perfectly balanced.
Hu Shen immediately transformed back into human form. Seeing Su Tang about to run over, he strode over, put his arm around her waist, and made her sit on a nearby rock.
"Don't move, I'll do it."
After saying that, he bent down to fetch water.
Su Tang was taken aback and wanted to jump down to help.
"It'll be ready soon. There's a snake over here; it might bite you in a minute."
Hu Shen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, knowing Su Tang's intentions.
Su Tang paused, then looked around. She saw no other creatures in the lush grass, but felt a cool shade.
Thinking that there might be a snake hiding in some corner, she sat still obediently.
Soon, Hu Shen filled all sixteen coconuts with water and plugged the two holes with wooden stoppers so that the water wouldn't leak out unless he turned them upside down and shook them violently.
After filling the water tank, Su Tang thought Hu Shen was about to leave, but then she saw him suddenly bend down and move the stone with a dent from the ground.
Place it at her feet.
"Hu Shen, what are you doing..."
Before she could finish speaking, Hu Shen had already taken her foot and put it into the water.
The large rock is like a stone basin filled with water, but the basin is quite thick, probably weighing over 100 kilograms.
Hu Shen didn't speak, but lowered his head to carefully clean the wounds and mud off Su Tang's feet.
