Chapter 32: It's getting late; go to bed first.
"But this is just a physiological idea." Zhang Liu looked at Anya, who was wary of him again, then at Qin Rushuang, who was full of surprise, rubbed his hands and continued, "You are so beautiful; the current situation is that 'The Law is Temporarily Useless'. So it must come to my mind: Bad ideas!"
When he said this, he laughed maliciously.
"Zhang Liu... you... you... you..." Anya was so frightened by Zhang Liu's actions that she almost burst into tears.
She leaned over Qin Rushuang tremblingly, completely unable to speak.
Anya never expected that Zhang Liu, whom she had briefly considered Prince Charming, would suddenly do such a terrible thing.
"Zhang Liu, please don't scare Anya." Qin Rushuang carefully observed the expression of the boy in front of her, especially the almost irrepressible secret smile at the corner of his mouth. "Let's get to work first," she said helplessly.
"Relax." Zhang Liu said it with a smile, and then his expression gradually became serious.
Although Anya was still a little frightened by the change in his expression, she still obediently sat next to Qin Rushuang.
The two put on an expression of listening carefully.
"I will not have any evil thoughts towards you because, for me, the most important thing is to leave here." Zhang Liu extended his finger and pointed at the solid ground, took a deep breath, and then said in an extremely serious tone, "The fact that rescue has not arrived is now considered a confirmed fact."
"Then, according to the previous plan, we should start saving ourselves effectively. The best situation is to escape from here. The bottom line is to be able to stay here."
"Currently, we don't have any tools at hand, only manpower, so I want you to face reality first and stop thinking about love and romance!"
With a few words as his keyword, Zhang Liu removed the last thoughts of love and affection from Qin Rushuang and Anya's hearts.
But there was one sentence he didn't say.
This is what actually happens in a place like this, and the cost of pregnancy and childbirth is extremely high.
After taking a deep breath to calm down, Zhang Liu looked at the two girls, who were serious, and continued talking.
"Currently, we have stable water sources, shelter, and fire, and the seashore can provide all kinds of basic food. In terms of survival knowledge, this can be considered a combination of basic survival conditions."
"But if we want to build a ship that can go to sea safely, that alone is not enough. If we want to stay here for a long time, that is not enough."
While he was speaking, Zhang Liu looked out of the cave.
It was already night, and everything was dark.
But he still aimed for the tallest existence among the neighboring mountains through the darkness.
The highest peak is Zhang Liu's target, and the current, specific situation can be determined.
Moreover, wood and rattan found in the mountains and forests are necessary resources to build a large ship.
"I only have two requests for you."
"The first point is that on this desert island, we must abandon the so-called differences between men and women and live with all our might to get out of trouble!"
"The second point is that before we get out of trouble, I will do my best to protect you and take care of you, but after we get out of trouble, I hope you can repay me!"
Zhang Liu explained as he looked at the confused expressions on the two girls' faces.
"For you, when you return to a civilized society, you can still rely on your family to live a privileged life."
"But I will definitely be out of time. Even if I go back, I won't have a good future. My two younger sisters are expected to see drastic changes in their lives next year because they can't afford study fees."
"So my return will undoubtedly increase the burden on my family."
"At that time, I just ask that you lend me some money so that I can go through the most difficult adjustment period."
By the end of the sentence, his expression was a little depressed.
As for Zhang Liu, if he didn't have two younger sisters to take care of at home and had a reason to go back, he wouldn't really want to leave here in a few years.
After experiencing social separation for several years, returning to social life is basically equivalent to the slow death of an ordinary person without a high school education.
"What are your plans, Zhang Liu?"
Zhang Liu's words were a strong reassurance to Qin Rushuang.
She already clearly knew that Zhang Liu had no ill intentions towards her or Anya.
Qin Rushuang also agreed to reveal to Zhang Liu his ultimate goal at this moment: escape.
But she still didn't know what she should do next with Zhang Liu.
In the same situation, after listening to Zhang Liu say so many words, Anya had already sat upright, with an expression on her face that said, 'I am very reliable, so please trust me in everything after I get out of here.'
"The first thing is to look for resources." Zhang Liu put a thick piece of firewood into the fire, watched it quickly engulf and ignite, and then started talking about tomorrow's plans.
"Tomorrow during the day, I will go to the seashore and the forest to search for food."
"You two work separately. Qin Rushuang, you are in charge of monitoring the fire and filling the water. Anya, you will go with me to the beach tomorrow. We will pick up more oyster shells and the like to store water."
"Okay." Qin Rushuang and Anya nodded at the same time, indicating that they had understood.
"The purpose is so that I can go to the plane wreckage with peace of mind in the future." Zhang Liu looked at the two girls and said, "A piece of rusty metal can be used to cut fish, not to mention a piece of meat; the entire plane wreckage and all the materials on it are things that we cannot get in this barren mountain!"
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that before?"
Hearing Zhang Liu, she gently patted her head, and Anya suddenly felt enlightened. At the same time, she truly understood Zhang Liu's importance in the three-person team. The physical work he can provide is actually secondary. What a boy can do, both girls can also achieve with hard work. But only he can complete this kind of planning and thinking for the future.
"Then, starting tonight, I suggest you begin night watches." The work order did not stop; he took a sip of boiling water. Then, Zhang Liu spat out a few grains of sand and continued, "Everyone should have heard the wolves howling at night. Before, it was pitch dark, and there was no way to deal with it. Now there is a fire. On the one hand, we need to monitor the fire to prevent it from going out. On the other hand, we can also make early plans in case of an emergency."
While listening, Anya kept nodding her head. At this moment, Anya was deeply moved by Zhang Liu's arrangement, and her clear eyes staring at him were full of brilliance. There is no longer the natural feeling of contempt that comes with different origins.
"Leave it to me tonight." At this moment, Qin Rushuang smiled and said to the two of them, "I have been taken care of by you these days, and now I have to do some work."
"No, I suggest that Anya and I take turns." Zhang Liu shook his head, rejecting Qin Rushuang's recommendation. He then said to Anya, "Sooner or later, you will have your period. Now you are helping Qin Rushuang, and she can help you in the future."
"Then... what about you?" The small, white, and soft hands kept crossing each other, then quickly let go. Anya was now truly attracted to the boy in front of her.
"Me? What's wrong with me?" Zhang Liu was a little strange; he didn't know what Anya asked.
After hesitating for a long time, Anya looked at Zhang Liu anxiously and said, "With this arrangement, doesn't that mean that there will be night watch at midnight every day? Doesn't that mean that you won't be able to sleep well every night?"
Zhang Liu looked at Anya for a long time and frowned deeply. When he was in school, he was used to Anya using him as a tool. But now, Zhang Liu could never imagine that this girl would use him as a night guard!
"My colleague Anya, when my period ends, you and I will take turns being awake." When Qin Rushuang's voice sounded beside her, Anya's cheeks began to turn red. She knew she was worrying in the wrong direction.
"Ah! Yes! In fact, I'm still thinking about taking ten days off a month." Looking at Anya, Zhang Liu, who thought she was treating him like an expendable tool, said, "So, it's already late; how about you two go to bed first?"
