After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

In the bamboo forest, Zhang Liu, who was walking in front, had already had his first harvest. It was not the bamboo rat that everyone else was anxiously waiting for their next meal after they had finished eating.

But it is the bamboo fungus that is equally remembered by everyone for its taste.

Since it was morning, he just happened to see the bamboo fungus popping up.

This scene stunned Xiang Lingying and Xiang Wanying, who had returned empty-handed last night.

"Su Yan, I'll leave the job of collecting bamboo fungi to you. Sister Wanying, Xiang Lingying and I will make weapons." Zhang Liu used a machete to cut off a bamboo fungus that was opening its cap, held it in his hand and suggested to Su Yan, who had her hands empty, "Why don't you go up and get a bamboo bowl or something to hold it?"

"Ok!"

Nodding, Su Yan had no objection and started running towards the mountainside.

Behind her was Zhang Liu's instructions.

"Run slower."

"Take a few more!"

"Okay!" Su Yan responded while running away. After that, Zhang Liu, Xiang Lingying and Xiang Wanying also started the first wave of collection.

All three held palm leaves in their hands.

This tree can be seen everywhere next to bamboo forests, and its leaves, which look like cattail leaf fans, are also a good choice for storing things.

The smell of fresh bamboo fungus is very strange, like the smell of wood oil, but it is not unpleasant.

Moreover, its shape is also very strange. The cap will have mucus or directly soften and rot depending on the timing of flowering.

Cutting off the roots to collect the seeds is not a good idea.

After placing the cut bamboo fungus on the palm leaves, it will secrete a slightly whitish liquid, which obviously means the nutrients or flavor inside are being lost.

But there is no sufficient water source to wash the bamboo fungus.

The three of them had no choice but to do this to ensure that the subsequent cleaning process would be simple and quick. It would be absolutely foolish to waste too much water on non-protein food. This was the consensus reached by Zhang Liu and others after they went hungry and thirsty.

Xiang Lingying was holding a small knife about ten centimeters long in her hand and was collecting the fourth bamboo fungus.

But out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a hint of red moving in the pile of fallen leaves at her feet.

In nature, this color is basically synonymous with danger, especially when it moves.

The sixth sense came into play at this moment.

With a chill on his back, Xiang Lingying didn't even turn around to confirm what it was. The knife that was slowly cutting the root of the bamboo fungus suddenly flew horizontally and tore the bamboo fungus into two halves in an instant.

At the same time, her knife picked up a long oily green snake about one meter long from the ground.

Being in a state of high mental tension, Xiang Lingying could see the long oily green snake tumbling and twisting in the air, trying to adjust the trajectory of its head to calibrate the landing point.

This was something she had never thought of. When she caught a glimpse of red just now, she drew the knife directly towards Wanying, which was just a subconscious action.

At this moment of danger, her concentration was extremely high and her thinking was extremely sharp.

Perhaps human courage lies in the decisive attitude when facing danger and fear.

Xiang Lingying hated the twisted and sticky feeling of snakes.

This may be the fear inherited from ancient humans after they witnessed their own kind being bitten by snakes and dying immediately.

But anyone who was not afraid had been destroyed by the snake.

But at this moment, she was not frightened to the point of freezing, but instead took the initiative to attack.

He reached out and grabbed the snake's tail, which was still twisting in the air, then stood up and lifted the entire snake.

Unconsciously, Xiang Lingying imitated the way Zhang Liu dealt with the snake before, which was to simply grab the tail and swing it hard.

"Snapped……"

With a simple and rough sound, the snake's body was thrown onto the bamboo like a green whip.

Theoretically, Xiang Lingying's approach is correct, as it allows the snake's head to be moved as far away from the body as possible.

But from a practical point of view, his approach was wrong, because the bamboo was only as thick as an arm and could not constitute an effective impact surface.

After Xiang Wanying grabbed the snake's tail and hit it, the one-meter-long snake body went around the bamboo directly, and the snake's head automatically wrapped around and tied a knot to fix on the bamboo.

The snake is no longer in a situation where it has no support, and it has space to fight back.

The place for collecting bamboo fungus is near the bamboo roots, so the distance between Xiang Lingying and the bamboo is less than half a meter.

After seeing the snake's body tangled in knots, she was caught off guard and was immediately startled.

But his hand was still stupidly holding the snake's tail, forgetting to let go and run away.

Originally, after seeing that the other party was so huge, the snake had planned to run away according to the advice passed down from its ancestors.

But the tail was still in the enemy's hands and could not escape.

So it decisively raised its green triangular snake head and bit the culprit in front of it that it had picked up from the ground.

Xiang Lingying widened her eyes in horror. Her whole body was numb and she couldn't even move or shout.

This is caused by the secretion of adrenaline, which increases the intensity of the reaction after resistance has failed.

The only thing the body can do is to ensure that it is attacked in a relatively "comfortable" manner.

This long process actually only takes five seconds to be exact.

But it was enough for Zhang Liu to notice it in the third second, after all, he was less than three meters away from Lingying.

As soon as the other party made a move, Zhang Liu turned his head to look.

And he also saw Xiang Lingying holding the snake's tail and throwing a long oily green snake onto the bamboo.

From the third second to the fourth second, Zhang Liu took two steps forward, and the three-meter distance was shortened to only one meter.

There is more than one second left.

Between the fourth and fifth seconds, he had already raised the knife in his hand.

The time is just right!

Because the next attack won’t even take a second!

Chapter 225: The Maid Who Fears Her Plan Will Fail (Monthly Ticket Plus Chapter 28)

At the point where the fifth second had just ended.

Zhang Liu's knife had already chopped off the snake's head as it raised its head in the air to attack.

The opponent had already bitten his head forward for some distance, which caused the original decapitation attack to turn into a body chopping attack.

All in all, he could only use less than two seconds within these five seconds.

However, Zhang Liu was not a step slower than that invincible man.

He successfully rushed to Xiang Lingying before the snake bit him, and with a sharp move of his knife, he cut off half of the body and head of the long oily green snake.

The machete had a strong momentum, but it was not very sharp. It was not sharp enough to cut off the snake's head, and then it could not cut off the snake's tail held in Xiang Lingying's hand. He could only knock it out of the opponent's hand.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Liu also used a machete to insert into the ground to clamp the snake's head to prevent it from jumping up and biting people.

After confirming that the snake could only twist and wait for death and would not move or attack, he finally felt relieved and turned his head to shout to Xiang Lingying beside him: "The snake didn't bite you, did it?"

Xiang Lingying shook his head silently, indicating that he was safe and sound for the time being.

Zhang Liu did not see the other party's failed counterattack by swinging the snake under the burst of adrenaline.

At this moment, he just thought that Xiang Lingying was frightened by the snake and couldn't move, so he comforted her softly: "It's good that you didn't bite..."

Xiang Wanying had already walked a little far while collecting bamboo fungi. After hearing Zhang Liu's words, she quickly put down the bamboo fungi in her hand and ran over.

Seeing the long, oily green snake stuck in the soil by the machete, Xiang Wanying said in surprise, "This must be a bamboo snake!"

Then she looked at Xiang Lingying who was still standing there motionless, with worry in her eyes.

"It's okay, I reacted quickly." Noticing Xiang Wanying's worried expression, Zhang Liu spoke up to stop her from asking his young lady, "The snake was almost about to bite me, but I just chopped it off!"

It was not until this moment that Xiang Lingying came back to her senses from the failure of her counterattack. She turned her head and looked at Zhang Liu, who was smiling proudly in front of her. She said, "Thank you, Zhang Liu."

"It's okay, it's okay, just be careful." Zhang Liu waved his hand, and then his eyes also saw the little pink rabbit running over not far away...

That's Su Yan.

There was a bamboo forest starting from the mountainside, so she left and returned very quickly, only a few minutes.

At this moment, Su Yan was holding two bamboo bowls in her hands. The bamboo membranes inside were still there. They were the ones that Zhang Liu had broken open last night but had not started using yet.

It is just right for holding ingredients like bamboo fungus.

"I brought back the bamboo bowl. It should be able to hold a lot of bamboo fungus!" Su Yan said as she ran closer. She was startled by the long green snake on the ground and then asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that Xiang Lingying seems to be frightened." Zhang Liu looked at Xiang Lingying, who was pale, and said, "How are you? Do you want to take a rest?"

As he spoke, he looked towards Wanying with a questioning look. Zhang Liu wanted her to take Xiang Lingying to the shelter on the mountainside to rest.

After all, Xiang Wanying can actually do the job of confirming whether the bamboo spear is suitable for use.

Xiang Lingying was called because she was the thinnest among the girls and could be used as the lower limit of weight and length.

If the other party goes to rest, the worst that can happen is that the weight that Xiang Wanying has to get used to will be reduced a little bit, and that should be enough.

"I'm fine!" Xiang Lingying took a deep breath, her body still trembling. She looked at the boy in front of her who was already extremely tall in her mind and said, "Zhang Liu, I can do it!"

Zhang Liu pursed his lips and said nothing, but there was indeed some hesitation in his eyes.

He thought that the person in front of him was the key for him to escape from the poor class completely after getting out of trouble, and even marry Qin Ruoyan and Qin Ruoshuang at the same time.

So if it involves personal matters.

For example, if today's work is to make bamboo spears, Zhang Liu will prepare to do more work himself and take over the other person's work, so that he can be in a more relaxed state.

Of course, he had to ask other girls to do more work so that Xiang Lingying would be given preferential treatment.

Zhang Liu was absolutely unwilling to do so.

Even if he wants to give preferential treatment to a girl, he will only do so by spending money from his own body.

Just like he gave his mutton jerky to Anya yesterday to ensure that Gu Qingrou would have mutton jerky to eat.

This is Zhang Liu’s principle in life.

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

"Miss..." Next to Xiang Lingying, Xiang Wanying also gently persuaded: "Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

"It's okay! Sister Wanying!" Xiang Lingying turned to look at Xiang Wanying behind him, and then said seriously: "With Zhang Liu here, I'll be fine!"

"Hey?"

Compared to Zhang Liu, who had not yet realized the significance of Xiang Lingying's words, Su Yan and Xiang Wanying were both stunned for a moment, and then showed a bit of surprise on their faces.

And he began to look back and forth at Lingying and Zhang Liu...

"Zhang Liu, let's make bamboo spears quickly. I will cooperate with you!"

Turning around and looking at Zhang Liu, Xiang Lingying showed a happy smile for the first time.

Before the matter of killing snakes came up.

In fact, she has always had an "admiring" attitude towards the boy in front of her.

The other person is really nice and responsible, and is very suitable to be a husband.

Moreover, she is the type of person that Sister Wanying will be able to live a good life with after she marries her as a dowry in the future.

But in Xiang Lingying's heart, Zhang Liu's current help to her and his care for her in her future life and work can be repaid a hundred or a thousand times with the Xiang family behind her.

However, after killing the snake.

What Xiang Lingying realized at the critical moment was that she was not as "high" as she imagined, and that future rewards were completely insignificant at the current critical moment.

The bamboo pit viper is poisonous. Once you are bitten and injected with venom, the probability of death on this deserted island is basically 100%.

So Xiang Lingying began to desire a sense of security.

And Zhang Liu, who had just saved her, is undoubtedly the epitome of security.

Standing beside Zhang Liu and trimming the felled bamboo for him, Xiang Lingying, who had lost the last bit of his pride, secretly glanced at Zhang Liu who was cutting the third bamboo.

There was no longer any trace of "admiration" in her eyes, but only tenderness and dependence.

Plus a bit of trust.
