70s Island Flower Survivor

Chapter 11: Fragrant Grilled Fish, A Large Basket of Crabs

Gu Ling was caught off guard and fell forward inexplicably. Li Haixia and Zhou Cheng both instinctively went to help Gu Ling as soon as they saw her. 

Although they had only been together for a little over a day, even though Gu Ling didn't talk much, some of the things she said were few but likable. Even if she didn't speak, her demeanor and smile were enough to make people feel a sense of trust and fondness.

Gu Ling was such a person. Every word she spoke was not wasted. She drank coconut water and ate mangoes with Li Haixia and Zhou Cheng, built a tent with banana leaves, and made a fishing net out of vines...

Even a casual thing like this, Li Haixia and Zhou Cheng felt that they couldn't do it. For example, that young coconut, very few people could think of such a clever way to open it!

Or the collapsed house, most people would think of seeking help from the stationed troops instead of building a tent themselves.

So Li Haixia and Zhou Cheng instinctively regarded Gu Ling as the backbone. Even if they didn't admit it, that's what they thought in their hearts. So they didn't want anything bad to happen to Gu Ling!

Both of them rushed over to protect Gu Ling. Zhou Cheng was strong and faster, pulling Gu Ling over, and the two of them quickly fell onto the sandy beach to the right!

In order to save Gu Ling, Li Haixia also flew over and landed straight into the sea!

It was almost dark at this time, and all three of them were soaked, feeling a bit chilly!

Li Haixia, who was a bit older, immediately said, "No, the water is a bit cold. Let's change into dry clothes early, otherwise it won't be good if we catch a cold!"

Zhou Cheng said, "You guys go change, I don't mind. I'm a man and I'm healthy!"

Gu Ling's hair was wet, and her clothes were soaked. Her beautiful face and curvaceous figure were clearly visible, making her look disheveled!

At this moment, Gu Ya, who was leaning against the hospital bed, couldn't help but laugh. The sea breeze was strong, and getting soaked would definitely cause a cold. If it got serious, it could lead to a high fever and pneumonia. At this time, the boats traveling between the island and the mainland had already broken down, and the people on the island couldn't treat illnesses. In the end, there was only a dead end!

So several of their educated youth on the island had died.

She was waiting for Gu Ling to catch a cold, get pneumonia, and then die!

But Gu Ling got up from the beach, just washed her face with seawater, thanked Zhou Cheng and Li Haixia, and then took a closer look. She saw that the spot where she had just fallen actually brushed away a fool, revealing two crabs inside!

"Ah, crabs! There are crabs!" Gu Ling couldn't care less about falling anymore and quickly called Li Haixia and Zhou Cheng!

Crabs were a good thing. After the three of them discovered the two crabs, they immediately went back to change into dry clothes and brought tree branches and a net made of vines to catch the crabs!

Since ancient times, fishing and catching shrimp were activities that people of all ages enjoyed. Watching one crab after another being caught and put into the net, not to mention the excitement of Gu Ling and Zhou Cheng, even Li Haixia, who considered herself serious and dignified, couldn't help but laugh heartily!

"Oh my, I never thought in my life that I could catch so many crabs! Why are there so many crabs! Just think about it, who would be willing to eat crabs at home? Buy crabs once a year and give them all to the family. Just smelling them makes my mouth water! Oh my! This one is so big! Zhou Cheng, Gu Ling, take a look, is it big?"

Looking at Li Haixia, who rolled up her pants and stood in the water, holding a big crab in each hand, Gu Ling and Zhou Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Sister Haixia, the one you caught is big, we've caught dozens of them. Let's eat our fill tonight!"

"Now that we live by the seaside, we won't be able to finish eating seafood like crabs in the future. Maybe we'll even get tired of them!"

The three of them had a great time catching crabs this time. When the net was full, they happily carried the crabs and the fish Zhou Cheng had just caught and went ashore.

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but smile and say, "Sister Haixia, when I first saw you, I thought you were a bit fierce, and I thought Gu Ling was a bit cold. But now I realize that both of you are such good people. I originally thought being an educated youth on a deserted island would be tough, but now I find it really interesting! It's much more fun than doing the same thing every day at work in my hometown!"

There are no people here, no need for scheming. There are so many fish and crabs to catch, and you can pick fruits and drink coconut juice whenever you want. The sky is blue, the sea is vast, and the air is so fresh. Zhou Cheng really likes it here now.

Li Haixia smiled and shook her head, "I was worried too, you know? Speaking of which, we're just starting to feel happy. We're lucky that there aren't many people on this island right now, and we don't even have a place to live. We don't know how we'll survive in the future, so let's not get too happy too soon."

This island is very different from what they imagined.

It's fun to play for a couple of days, but it's difficult to live here long-term!

After Li Haixia said that, Zhou Cheng's smile faded, "You're right. I originally thought that there would at least be some farmland and houses left by the educated youths who came before us. But now, it's almost like a deserted island. What should we do next?"

As they were discussing, both of them looked at Gu Ling. Gu Ling chuckled, "Next, let's grill the fish and cook the crabs. After we eat our fill, we can think about other things. We have to take it step by step. For Chinese people, as long as we have a piece of land, we can grow crops. This island has so much land, and it's all ours. As long as we work hard and don't slack off, we won't starve. The country sent us here to develop the island, so let's build it step by step. I don't think it's a big deal."

Li Haixia and Zhou Cheng were both moved by Gu Ling's words. Develop the island? Yes, that's why they came here!

With land, they can grow crops. With wood and space, they can build houses. They can buy whatever they need by boat from the mainland. What's not good about this place?

If they can create their own little island, it would be like a dream come true!

Thinking like this, Zhou Cheng and Li Haixia also became excited. The three of them set up a fire pit near the tent and happily grilled three fish. They also cooked the crabs in the iron pot left behind by the educated youths. They ate with great satisfaction!

The fresh seafood tasted different! It was so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongues!

After cleaning the plump fish, they sprinkled some salt brought by Li Haixia from her hometown, wrapped them in leaves and mud, and grilled them over the fire until the fish was fragrant beyond belief!

Gu Ling ate with big bites, while Li Haixia and Zhou Cheng blew on the hot food and couldn't help taking more bites...

Gu Ya stared in astonishment at this scene, getting so angry she felt like going crazy!

Why is everything so different from the plot she designed? She was drooling just looking at the delicious grilled fish!

Before Gu Ya could figure it out, her mother slapped her on the head and said, "Did you hear what I said? Come with me later to ask Gu Ling's uncle for money!"
