After unanimously deciding to stay on the island for a short period of time, they sometimes fished for shrimp, rabbit snakes or seaweed in the forest and on the beach. The uneaten parts were hung on the rope in front of the tent to dry.
After three days, the number was extremely impressive.
"Let's set off tomorrow." The raging waves no longer appeared, and Chi Yue felt it was time to leave.
"Okay." Xie Changxiao had no objection.
He heard that Qizhou had analyzed that there were still many disasters that would occur in the future. Only by going to a place with flat terrain and not close to the sea could we provide them with a relatively safe environment.
Therefore, he did not think about staying for a long time.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. When they woke up the next morning, there was thick fog outside the tent, and the yellow-white fog enveloped the entire island without them knowing it.
"Don't pull it." Wen Qizhou pressed Xie Changxiao's hand covering the zipper, sat up and said, "Let's put the mask on first."
He heard Chi Yue mention the thick fog.
Dense fog is non-toxic, but it has a certain impact on the human upper respiratory tract. Direct exposure to the air can cause diseases.
"Do you have masks there?"
"Yes." Chi Yue gave him two masks, then put on his coat and walked out with them.
In the thick fog, everything becomes blurry. Even in the daytime, the surrounding trees cannot be clearly seen.
"The visibility is too low." Xie Changxiao mistakenly thought that the thick fog only appeared on this island: "Let's leave quickly."
"I'm afraid I can't leave." Chi Yue couldn't tell him directly, so she said in a guessing tone: "There should be fog outside the island."
"Isn't it?"
"Just take a look and you will know." Wen Qizhou went into the tent to get a flashlight, thinking of taking this opportunity to collect some firewood and come back to prepare.
He circled around in the fog to find the direction in which they landed on the island, slowing down and frequently leaving marks on the surrounding trees.
It was not easy to walk in the fog. Fortunately, this was a tourist area rather than a deserted island. They were not tripped up by dead trees, and it only took them more time than before to reach the beach.
There was a vast mist on the calm sea. Neither the naked eye nor a telescope could see through the thick fog into the distance. It was like a natural barrier standing in front of them.
"Tsk! You really got it right." Xie Changxiao gave up completely, and his anxiety turned into helplessness at this moment.
They really couldn't leave.
Before the thick fog appears, it is easy to encounter danger while traveling by Zodiac. Now the risk factor has been raised to the full level.
He couldn't care less about how long it would take for the thick fog to clear. He was more concerned about survival issues: "We will hunt more recently."
Hearing Qizhou responded: "Yeah."
As they were walking back, he asked Xie Changxiao to help pick up firewood. He picked up firewood along the way, and finally carried several large bundles of firewood that could be burned four or five times and placed them next to the tent.
Xie Changxiao, who was full of urgency, thought about going to the river to collect water. Chi Yue was too lazy to move, so Wen Qizhou accompanied him.
She took out the battery and connected it to the line, hung a lighted lamp outside the tent, and read a book quietly.
When they came back with two buckets of river water, the three of them sat around in a tent with enough space, played cards to kill time, and lived a peaceful and comfortable life on the island.
But Chi Yue couldn't stand eating snakes, rabbits and seafood. She took Wen Qizhou's arm and wandered around in the dense forest, carrying the pots, pans and vegetables she had "picked up" to eat vegetarian food for two days, and then " Pick up some white flour and make noodles with them.
Xie Changxiao, who had sensed something was wrong very early after "picking it up" more and more times, no longer believed their words.
He slowly ate the piece of cheesecake that Wen Qizhou "picked up" for him this morning, his heart as scratching as a cat.
I wanted to ask but didn't know where to start. I could only stare at the profiles of him and Chi Yue, wishing to make a hole out of them.
"Isn't the cake delicious?" Chi Yue could not ignore the sight and turned to look at the eyes that had not yet suppressed doubts.
"It's delicious." But something is wrong! Which island produces its own creamy baked cheesecake?
"Do you want a drink then?"
"What drink?"
"Milk tea or coffee?" Chi Yue hadn't drank coffee for a while. She really missed the silky and delicate taste, but she didn't want to go outside to "pick up" things in the thick fog.
Anyway, the other party saw that she was being naughty, and she was too lazy to mess around. She should eat and drink when she should, and satisfying her taste buds was the most important thing.
Xie Changxiao: "...Coffee?"
He tentatively stated his choice. Wen Qizhou looked at his wonderful expression, raised his thin lips slightly, and couldn't help laughing.
"He likes to drink iced mocha." He knew that Chi Yue didn't want to act any more, so he added thoughtfully for Xie Changxiao.
Chi Yue took out three cups of coffee.
When the coffee cup that was common before the end of the world was handed to Xie Changxiao, he went from being speechless to being confused.
He took it tremblingly, and when he felt the coolness coming from the cup, he couldn't help but shiver. Then he cast his eyes on the label on the cup, clearly seeing the date at the bottom.
2150-04-29
"Am I dreaming?" He put down the cake and pinched his thigh mercilessly. When the pain reached his senses, he took a breath and looked at them with burning eyes.
Wen Qizhou picked up the coffee cup and took a few sips, raising his eyebrows with unknown meaning: "You will know if you give yourself two more slaps."
"...What's going on?" He leaned forward and closed the distance between them: "Can you tell me?"
"Can you keep it a secret?"
"Absolutely!"
Chi Yue gave him a Malisin called "poison" with a sullen face, and said very seriously: "Then take one first."
Xie Changxiao, who had seen her take things out of thin air, never doubted the authenticity of the poison, nor did he hesitate to take it in one gulp.
He asked seriously: "Is this the kind of thing that will bleed to death if I betray you?"
"Absolutely." Wen Qizhou suppressed his smile and cooperated with Chi Yue's operation to fool him: "Can you understand us?"
Xie Changxiao's head was like pounding garlic.
He knew what was at stake, so it was a good thing that they were on guard, and they wouldn't complain at all.
"So, what's going on?"
"I have the ability to retrieve objects from across the air." Chi Yue continued to make up: "As long as I want it, I can get it from the past."
"Damn! So awesome?" Xie Changxiao had read a lot of fantasy stories when he was studying, and he probably understood her abilities.
His worldview was overturned at this moment, his heart was beating like a drum, and he quickly took a sip of mocha to calm down.
The long-lost taste filled his mouth. He was excited and nervous. He lowered his voice and asked, "Who else knows about this?"
"there's only us."
"That's good." He breathed a sigh of relief and told her uneasily: "Don't tell outsiders in the future, otherwise it will be troublesome if they risk their own lives to report your situation!"
"Ok, I know."
Chi Yue understands the reason why holding a jade is a crime.
If Xie Changxiao hadn't been alone and had many years of friendship with them, she would not have been exposed at all.
