Chapter 14: Chapter 8: Good Person? Making Fire for Food! _2
"This guy is so annoying, has such a strong desire to show off, and shameless. It was obviously your idea, but he acted as if he thought of it himself. You're so easy to bully. If it were me, I would not resist killing him!"
Cat was very upset.
Qin Yu: "When our interests don't conflict, I don't care whether he's acting stupid or arrogant. The more he performs, the more I can be sure that he's not the employer."
Huh? You already have a judgment on this?
"The core purpose of the Golden House is to punish the wicked and promote the good. It's just a show, and it couldn't be that evil. Besides, it's clear that I was asked to help. I can't help a wicked person, so it means that the employer is a good person."
"So you think this Chen Yifeng is not good?"
"Whether someone is good or not depends on each person's standards. Anyway, to me, he's at most selfish, not evil. But as far as the Golden House is concerned, they definitely don't favor this kind of selfishness."
One person is excluded from the seven, leaving only six.
Good-hearted? It doesn't seem that difficult to find out.
"So who do you think is kind? Qi Zhiyuan is kind, right?"
"I don't know."
Qin Yu thought there was no need to jump to conclusions without really getting to know someone.
As they were talking, suddenly white smoke began to rise.
Success! They continued drilling, and when sparks appeared, they used some of the wood shavings from earlier to start the fire.
As expected, the sparks turned into flames, and the fire started! With fire, their food and temperature were guaranteed at night.
Chen Yifeng smiled, and the camera gave him a close-up.
"I'm leaving. You keep an eye on the fire, don't let it go out."
After Chen Yifeng left, Qin Yu stood up and dragged some large wood over to the fire. She was good at fire-making.
Using large wood as the main body and adding small pieces, she calculated the time and it should last about half an hour. But after burning for two rounds...
In the meantime, Qin Yu moved stones from the side to build a medium-sized stove, transferring the red-hot charcoal inside and adding more firewood to keep the fire going and block the wind.
This method, combined with the transfer, could last a long time.
All she had to do was occasionally check the fire.
So... what should she do next?
"We need to survive for four and a half days. The priority is to ensure we can survive."
She wasn't eager to mingle with those people because the separation between them would inevitably be broken.
Find food first!
"Didn't he go to find food? Why are you wasting your energy?" Cat found Qin Yu to be contradictory.
"Reasonable allocation and sitting around waiting for food are two different things. I can let him do the heavy lifting when it comes to building the house, but if he takes the lead on getting food, I'll have to watch his face no matter how much I eat."
As Qin Yu said this, she walked towards the nearby reef pile.
Cat sighed, "Oh, you're such a dignified and thoughtful mistress."
Qin Yu ignored him.
What was in the reef pile? At first glance, nothing, and Qin Yu was a bit disappointed.
Suddenly, she felt that the cat in her mind was breathing a little unsteadily, but it managed to control itself!
Instead of leaving, she immediately stopped and turned around, looking carefully at the crevices in the reef piles.
Upon close inspection...
Crabs!
When Qin Yu saw the crab claws flashing in the crevices, she raised her eyebrows.
The crab claws were not small, and at first glance, they looked like hairy crabs, dark gray, similar in color to the reefs, no wonder she didn't notice them earlier.
This was a great find! Better than fruit!
It was just a bit troublesome to catch, but as a countryside girl, she had caught plenty in the fields and streams before. Qin Yu quickly checked the left and right sides of the stone crevices and found a hole on the left side.
She took out the raincoat, covered it over the left crevice, and secured it tightly with stones. Then she poked the wooden stick into the front hole several times.
The crab resisted for a while, but seeing the powerful enemy, it quickly retreated... When the raincoat bulged out, Qin Yu rushed over and pulled out a bundle.
"Wow!" The cameraman also exclaimed.
Was it there? Was it there?
When she opened it, there was a palm-sized crab inside.
"What kind of crab is this?" Xu Qingke asked the photographer, who had received training and knew it right away: "This is an East Timor mud crab."
"Huh? There's no mud." Qin Yu blurted out.
Photographer: "..."
Are they not allowed to bathe?
However, East Timor is known for producing valuable mud crabs, with most adult mud crabs weighing more than 600 grams, making them the largest of domestic crabs.
"There's a mud flat nearby. It must have sneaked over here."
Qin Yu wrapped the crab in her raincoat and hung it on her waist, then went back to check the firewood once before quickly heading towards the mud pit.
There were indeed many mud crabs in the mud pit, but they were difficult to find, especially since they would burrow into the mud. Qin Yu acted cautiously, observing for a long time from the edge of the pit.
"How are you planning to catch them?" The cameraman couldn't help but ask.
"It depends on my luck..." She said, as she went back to find a long wooden stick and then entered the mud pile.
After walking for a while, she stopped. Was this like Jiang Taigong fishing?
The cameraman couldn't help but wonder, and just when he was about to remind her, suddenly, there was movement in the mud, and something large crawled out...
A very large mud crab, covered in mud, looking to weigh about 700 to 800 grams.
As half of its head emerged, Qin Yu made her move!
She gripped the long wooden stick with both hands...
Swung it!
Slap!
In a flash, the crab, which was three to four meters away from her, was knocked away by the stick.
With a thud, it hit a big rock on the right more than five meters away.
It should be dead now. It laid motionless on the ground.
Cameraman: "..."
Cat: "..."
After pondering for a while, the cameraman hesitantly asked: "Do you play golf?"
The posture seemed a bit like swinging a club, and they had never seen anyone catch crabs like that before.
Was it a coincidence?
"No, I've been catching mud crabs like this since I was a kid," Qin Yu said.
"It looks very similar."
"I must be a natural," Qin Yu joked with a smile, but Cat chimed in: "It looks like shoveling poop."
Qin Yu: "..."
