"Du Lai."

Fu Miaoxue suddenly called him softly.

"Are you asleep?"

Du Lai was stunned for a moment and turned over, "What's wrong?"

Fu Miaoxue also turned around and faced him.

"Tomorrow, if the rescue still doesn't come..." She pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"

Du Lai was silent for a while and said, "Let's find water first. Today we have almost used the accumulated rainwater. The island is densely vegetation, so there must be fresh water resources. We will walk deeper tomorrow."

Fu Miaoxue asked again: "What about after finding the water?"

"Find food." Du Lai said, "The food is still not enough. We cannot eat clams and crabs every day. It is best to catch fish and shrimps. We also need to find out if there are any fruits or beans on the island that can replace carbohydrates."

"But we don't have fishing rods and fishing nets... How can we catch fish and shrimps?" Fu Miaoxue sighed quietly and said, "I didn't feel full tonight. The clams and crabs are too thin and too small."

Du Lai was amused when he heard this and said, "You eat more than me."

"You can't waste it. You're sick and you can't eat too much." She stuttered and aimed at Du Lai, "Are you better? Do you still have a fever?"

Du Lai raised his hand and touched his forehead. The temperature had dropped a lot. If you had a nap tonight, you should be cured tomorrow.

"Go to sleep." He turned over, "You should go to bed early, so that you can keep your energy to avoid getting sick."

"But I can't sleep." She sighed again, "The ground is so cold and hard, and I'm not used to it if I don't brush my teeth at night..."

Du Lai closed his eyes and said, "Tomorrow I will find some leaves for you to clean your teeth and go to bed."

“Can leaves clean teeth?”

"Well, the leaves of many plants have a cleaning effect. When I was looking for fruits, I saw several wild guava trees. The leaves of guava trees can cleanse teeth and prevent bad breath."

"Is it a fruit? Can I eat it?"

"It's already done, and it's not time to mature yet, so you can't eat it."

"Du Lai, you know a lot..."

"Du Lai, fortunately I met you, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do..."

"Du Lai, I will ask my grandfather to reward you well. Don't believe it, I will give you 100 million."

“…Du Lai?”

"Du Lai?"

...

Du Lai, already asleep.

Fu Miaoxue looked at his back and closed her eyes after a while.

...

The next day was a sunny day.

Fu Miaoxue opened her eyes and didn't see Du Lai.

She crawled out of the cave and found him cleaning up the bonfire.

After a night of burning, the bonfire had become very small. He took the thin branches, pulled out the black and gray inside, and added new branches and dead grass to it, repeating yesterday's steps.

Du Lai heard the footsteps behind him and said without looking back: "After finding the water source, you have to find a way to burn some charcoal. Every day, you have to get up and add firewood in the middle of the night, otherwise it will be easy to extinguish."

"You're still burning charcoal?" Fu Miaoxue opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Du Lai looked back at her and shook his head, "I know the production principle, but I haven't tried it."

The bonfire is booming again.

Du Lai stood up and said, "I don't know how far I can find the water source. You follow me and act slowly. Let's act separately. You go to the beach to find food, and I go to find the water source."

If he just digging clams on the beach, Du Lai thought that Fu Miaoxue should be able to do this difficulty.

Fu Miaoxue agreed: "Okay, I'll go find food. Last time I was looking for a place to go to the toilet, I saw a small cave with a lot of sea water inside, and maybe I could catch a big guy."

Du Lai nodded: "Be careful and don't go to places where the water is too deep."
