Fang Xinxin noticed his heated gaze and looked away with a blush.

She coincidentally noticed the two wild chickens hanging on the rack. They had been cleaned up and their feathers had been plucked.

She could not help but be curious. “Hubby, how did you catch the wild chickens?”

Normally speaking, wild chickens tended to react fast. It was very difficult to catch them, no matter how skilled one was.

However, he had managed to catch two while he had been collecting firewood.

“I first dug a few holes and caught a few worms as bait. I waited for the wild chickens to fall into the trap before covering the holes with lids made from tree branches. I was lucky enough to catch two.” Although he answered her question, he also brought her into his arms.”This isn’t the time to ask such questions.”

He watched her lovingly. “Don’t you think we have more important things to do right now?”

She understood his meaning and blushed again.

As the night grew deeper, the fire remained burning. It added warmth to the frigid night.

The two of them embraced each other intimately.

The next morning, the two of them collected morning dew together. They were able to fill the first aid kit with 2.5 kilograms of water.

That was more than enough drinking water for them. They could even use around five hundred millimeters of water to cook sea snake soup.

They also had more food now. The food they collected yesterday could last them days.

Furthermore, even if they finished everything, it wouldn’t be difficult to collect more.

Right now, they desperately wanted to take a shower.

Their clothes also needed to be washed. They could feel the salt particles on the surface of the fabric and it left them feeling uncomfortable.

Both of them hoped it would rain soon.

However, the more they hope for something, the less things would go their way. Each day, the sun remained burning hot. There wasn’t the slightest sign of rain.

They had more than enough food for the time being. The island was also abundant with large banana leaves. Bai Qinghao spent a day digging five holes beneath shaded trees. He then arranged a layer of banana leaves in it. He hoped to be able to collect some rain water if it rained.

He then found two large rocks with dips in the center. He placed them outside the shed hoping they would fulfill the same purpose.

Fang Xinxin weaved more baskets in the shed. She also made more straw slippers for Bai Qinghao and herself.

She did not leave the shed to work anymore. She wanted to regain her fair skin.

All the work to preserve their food was left to Bai Qinghao.

It was another evening. Bai Qinghao returned from the salt field with a basket of coarse sea salt.

The coase sea salt contained a lot of mineral particles. They needed to filter it before they could consume it.

Fang Xinxin sliced off the bottom of a bottle with the surgical knife. It then became a hollow funnel. She filled the funnel with sand, mud and ash to make a simple filter.

She sliced a small fabric from Bai Qinghao’s clothes and tied it to the mouth of the bottle with rattan.

She mixed the coarse salt with a small amount of pure water and filtered it through the funnel.

They repeated this several times until the filtered water was clear. All the minerals were removed from the coase salt and it eventually became table salt.

As they needed to save up on their drinking water, they only made sufficient salt to have everyday.

When cooking the snake meat, dried fish and dried chicken, they were able to make it taste much better with a small amount of sun.

After a few days, as Fang Xinxin had paid attention to stay away from the sun, her skin became much fairer.. The rough skin texture due to drifting in the water had also recovered and her skin was once again soft and smooth.
