Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 194: Minnie Ann Drinks for the First Time

Minian's father was a shipbuilder, so she learned some shipbuilding skills from her father since she was a child.

"There are some extra planks piled up behind the cabin, as well as a hand plane and a stone axe. Feel free to use them."

Before Minnie Ann could say thank you again, Xia He continued, "The condition is that you give me all the fresh water and half of the food."

Minnie Ann: “.”

All that fresh water?

He turned around and looked at the three buckets placed outside the cabin.

Apart from this stuff, she remembered that there should be a lot of drinks in the wooden box left on the beach.

Even though her father had warned her that minors were forbidden to drink alcohol, it seemed worse to let a half-year-old baby drink alcohol to quench his thirst than to let herself do it... right?
Besides, this place is probably not too far from Karavis Island, so half of the food should be more than enough.

Thinking of this, Minnie Ann nodded, "But, aren't you going to leave here?"

"I'll wait for a while before leaving."

Xia He took out a toothpick made of bamboo and started picking his baby teeth. "The winter wheat I planted is not yet fully mature. What's more... the weather is so cold now. If I encounter a storm at sea, even if I am not swept away by the waves, there is a high probability that I will be frozen to death. So I plan to wait until spring to find a way to leave."

"That's it..."

After hearing this, Minian thought about it for a while and felt that what Xia He said made sense.

But the key point is that her parents are still waiting for her to return home. The longer she stays on the uninhabited island, the more worried her family will be. What if something unexpected happens when she goes out to look for her by boat...

So, although feeling a little scared, Minian still chose to pick up her tools and walked to the beach alone.

Xia He was left looking at her back, pouting at first, and then he started picking his teeth.

……

boom!
Boom!

Even though Minian is only fourteen years old, according to the standards set by Xia He's system, her strength is at least forty or fifty points. I don't know if she can break poles, but it is definitely enough for chopping trees.

After pushing the fallen log all the way to the beach, Minnie carefully examined the small cargo ship that was only half of it, and then looked at the wreckage scattered around. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, this level of damage should be completely repaired in less than a month at most."

I hope nothing unexpected will happen in a month.

"Father, Mother, please wait for me to come back."

She muttered, then picked up her tools, trying to speed up her journey home.

But now it seems that a new problem has emerged.

That is……

Do I really want to live in that cabin with that kid for a month?

Even though the baby is only half a year old, there is no need to avoid suspicion, but it is not a good idea to "occupy" someone else's house like this, right?

How about I just build myself a house before I repair the boat?

……

As a result, at noon, when she returned to the farmland, she found that Xia He had not only laid hay for her in the wooden house, but also demolished one of the walls of the wooden house and started the expansion in full swing.

"What are you doing?" Looking at the young figure holding a stone hammer and hammering, Minian inexplicably felt a little strange in her heart.

"Just consider it as the money for noodles at noon today." Xia He said without turning his head.

Well, he is actually free.

After watering and fertilizing, the game and fish he hunted and caught in the past two days are enough to eat. If he doesn't expand the farm, what else can he do?

Xia He, who was tired of sleeping during the day, wanted to find something to do.

despair!
blah blah blah!

The hammer in his hand swung faster and faster.

"Thank you."

Seeing this, Minian gave up the idea of ​​building another room and decided to concentrate on shipbuilding.

She walked to the wooden house, picked up a sesame cake, a piece of dried meat, and took out a bottle of wine. She had no intention of staying and went straight back to the beach to continue working. However, this time, Xia He did not watch her leave, but touched Xiao Hui's wolf head and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Ouch~~!"

As if he really understood, Xiao Hui let out a howl and quickly followed the direction Minian left.

……

"Hey, why is that wolf here?"

From a distance, Minnian, who was chewing on dried meat, suddenly noticed Xiao Hui, who was lying under a big tree, staring at her.

I remember there seemed to be two wolves with very similar fur colors...

This should be the small one, right?

She muttered to herself.

After spending a whole day together, she had already let down most of her guard. She only observed for a while and then continued to eat her lunch.

After a while, all the dried meat was gone, Minnian pulled the cork off the red wine bottle and took a sip.

"belch!"

Is this what wine tastes like?

It seems... quite delicious?
This is her first time drinking.

In the past, her father would always drive her away from the wine cellar with a stern face, and tell her that "minors should not drink alcohol", "especially girls", "getting drunk will give bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of you" and other similar truths.

So much so that every time she felt curious, she would immediately give up the idea of ​​trying a bite.

"I drink to survive."

"Even if my father knew, he probably wouldn't blame me."

"Gulu gulu~~"

“It’s really delicious.”

"No wonder my father likes this thing so much."

"It's just... after drinking... why do I feel a little dizzy?"

The feeling of drunkenness suddenly surged to my brain.

"Okay... after dinner... let's take a nap first..."

Minnian, who could barely speak clearly, fell headfirst onto the sand and fell into a deep sleep.

Little Gray, who was lying not far away: “.”

……

in the afternoon.

The sun begins to set.

Xiao Hui, who had been lying there for nearly six hours, couldn't help but yawn again.

A mouthful of fangs was exposed to the air.

However, just when it was about to stand up and change its posture to continue guarding Minnie Ann...

Suddenly, a huge monster jumped out from the sea. It was undoubtedly the sea monster that Xia He had encountered before!

The shadows blocked out the last rays of the setting sun.

However, Minian, who was in a deep sleep, showed no signs of waking up.

The sea beast was getting closer and closer to the beach.

"Ouch!!"

With a howl, Xiao Hui rushed forward like an arrow from a bow.
