Stranded on a Deserted Island and Entangled by a Green Snake 25p2

Chapter 25 p2: Injured

The large snake’s eyes showed eagerness, and its claws stomped on the ground even more eagerly. Why aren’t you licking me? Why aren’t you licking me!

Yu Chujin ignored its eagerness, pretended that nothing had happened, and took the rabbit and the wild chicken to make dinner.

The large snake followed behind, making dissatisfied whimpering sounds.

Yu Chujin: “What are you whimpering about? I’m not going to lick you. Can’t you talk? Say something for me to hear.”

The large snake: “Hiss hiss.”

Yu Chujin clicked her tongue and ignored it. She simply dealt with the rabbit, using the large snake’s claw as a knife in the process.

The large snake was obedient and didn’t move. It was already very used to Yu Chujin using its claws from time to time.

After simply dealing with the rabbit, she skewered it with a stick and roasted it over the fire. After it was cooked, she could eat it.

The prey the large snake brought back was varied, but Yu Chujin’s favorite foods were wild chicken and rabbit.

Of course, it wasn’t because wild chicken and rabbit were particularly delicious, but simply because Yu Chujin recognized them.

As for the other animals the large snake brought back, some of them, Yu Chujin had never even seen before and couldn’t identify what kind of animal they were. She had a psychological burden and naturally didn’t dare to eat them.

A person like her, who had no experience in outdoor survival and only recognized common wild chickens and rabbits, had no advantage in surviving on a deserted island. In fact, it was all disadvantages.

But thankfully, heaven seemed to know that she knew nothing and directly sent her a cheat.

The big-cheat-snake.

Yu Chujin, who had never touched a kitchen knife before, was now extremely skilled at plucking wild chickens and rabbits. She could do it in a flash.

Previously, it would take an hour to clean a chicken. Now, it didn’t even take half an hour. Her movements were exceptionally nimble.

The rabbit was roasted over the fire. As for the wild chicken, she would leave it for tomorrow. She would put it in the water for low-temperature preservation to prevent it from spoiling.

Wild rabbit meat was tougher and chewier than domestic rabbit meat. Every time she ate it, her teeth would ache.

Yu Chujin had never liked to eat animal organs, but organs generally contained salt. Yu Chujin had no other way to supplement her salt intake. Even though she didn’t like to eat organs, she would force herself to eat them after cooking them.

Eating fish could also supplement a small amount of salt, but every time she communicated with the large snake, it was very resistant to catching fish.

Perhaps it was because she had thrown up after eating fish once. This single-minded creature thought that fish would poison humans and would not bring back this kind of food no matter what.

Yu Chujin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this. It was a stubborn snake, and she couldn’t reason with it at all.

Left with no choice, Yu Chujin had to give up on eating fish. If she wanted to eat fish in the future, she might have to rely on herself to catch it, and after catching it, it might even be snatched away and thrown away by the large snake…

In the early morning, Yu Chujin carved another horizontal line on the large tree, representing that another day had passed.

Looking at the row of tally marks on the tree, Yu Chujin was in a daze for a long time.

The large snake slithered to her side and looked at the tally marks on the tree with her.

The atmosphere was quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Chujin was the first to speak, breaking the silence, “Today, we’re going to the forest to find the loquat tree.”

Yu Chujin cheered herself up and arranged another task for herself.

She had to keep herself busy so that she wouldn’t overthink. Yu Chujin was well aware of this principle.

Holding the branch of loquats that the large snake had brought back last night, Yu Chujin simply gestured and communicated with it.

Now, she and the large snake had developed some tacit understanding. Although not much, the communication was much smoother than before.

Previously, when she asked it to take her to the nectarine tree, it had taken a lot of effort. Now, basically, as long as she took out this bunch of loquats, the large snake would know what she meant.

It happily led the way in front.

Yu Chujin was bad with directions and had no sense of direction following behind, but it didn’t matter. With the large snake, she wasn’t afraid of getting lost in the forest.

Most importantly, with the large snake around, she wasn’t afraid of the large beasts in the forest. She felt a full sense of security and even had the mood to touch this and look at that.

Compared to when she had gone to find the nectarine tree before, she was weak and powerless. Now, she was full and had enough strength. Walking was not tiring…

Ten minutes later, she was slapped in the face. She leaned against a tree trunk, panting heavily.

The large snake annoyingly copied her, also “hoo hoo hoo”-ing.

Yu Chujin now ignored this copycat snake’s copycat actions. Let it hoo. If it wanted to hoo, let it hoo. What could she do?

After walking for nearly half an hour, she finally arrived at the loquat tree.

It was a very small loquat tree, probably only a meter high, maybe even less. She could pick the loquats with her bare hands, and there weren’t many fruits on the tree.

Yu Chujin was a little disappointed. She had thought the loquat tree would be as big as the nectarine tree, but it was pitifully small.

Not a big problem. It was enough to satisfy her cravings. She didn’t lack food. Loquats were at most a snack.

Half of the loquats on the tree were ripe, and the other half were not. Yu Chujin picked a pile of ripe ones and put them in the bag she had brought with her in advance.

The army green bag was one she had picked up on the seaside. It was very sturdy, with three large words printed on it: “Pig Feed.”

How should she put it? As long as it was sturdy and durable, it was fine. Yu Chujin had no room to be picky. It came in handy for picking loquats.

A one-meter-high loquat tree didn’t have many ripe fruits. The bag was only less than a third full. As a snack, it was only enough for one day.

There were still half of the unripe loquats on the tree. She would come back to pick them in a while.

She paused and turned to ask, “Why don’t I just come back to pick them in a while? Don’t you like to eat sour things? You can eat them.”

She couldn’t always eat alone. At least she should be polite.

The large snake was interested in sour nectarines, but it didn’t seem to be very interested in sour loquats. It didn’t move.

Since the large snake wasn’t eating them, she would just wait for them to ripen and come back to pick them in a while.

After picking the loquats, Yu Chujin was not in a hurry to go back. Since she was already deep in the forest, she might as well take the opportunity to find a water source.

In a month, it had only rained four times, and two of those times were very light, so she hadn’t collected much water.

Yu Chujin’s water source was already in a state of emergency. Although she had coconut water as a backup, finding a fixed water source would definitely be more convenient than now.

Drinking water was actually secondary. After all, she had something to drink now and was not lacking. The important thing was that she wanted to take a bath with fresh water.

Although she could also wash with seawater, it was very dry and uncomfortable after washing. After it dried, salt particles would adhere to her body, making her feel as if she hadn’t washed at all.

At first, Yu Chujin would take a bath with seawater every day, mainly for psychological comfort. She would feel a little more comfortable after washing. But after washing a few times, she couldn’t take it anymore.

After that, she would choose to run out and take a bath whenever it rained, but it was still very uncomfortable after washing.

The large snake, on the other hand, was very clean. She had never seen it take a bath, but it was very clean. Even if it got very dirty sometimes, it would be clean again after rolling in the sand.

A clean snake and a dirty person.

If she could find a small waterhole, she could take a comfortable bath. She really wanted to take a bath in her current state.

“Snake, do you know where there’s a waterhole or a small stream? A place with enough water for me to take a bath.”

“Hiss hiss.”

“Where do you usually drink water?”

“Hiss hiss.”

Yu Chujin gestured the action of drinking water. The large snake tilted its head, seemingly understanding.

Yu Chujin tried hard to gesture, trying to make it understand. Her efforts paid off. The large snake seemed to understand and led the way in front.

Yu Chujin happily clenched her fist and immediately followed.

In order to accommodate the slow human, the large snake’s slithering speed was extremely slow.

Yu Chujin was not worried that the large snake would not wait for her. She walked slowly behind, touching this and looking at that. Along the way, she also saw a lot of mushrooms.

But she didn’t dare to pick them because she didn’t recognize them. She didn’t want to pick poisonous mushrooms and then die.

Although her current state was extremely wretched, like a savage, it didn’t affect Yu Chujin’s cherishing of her life.

It was better to live a wretched life than to die a good death.

Looking at the large snake slithering easily in front, a small idea popped into Yu Chujin’s head.

Could she get the large snake to carry her?

Walking on foot was too tiring. Even though the large snake had already cleared a path in front, it didn’t change the fact that Yu Chujin felt tired.

“Snake,” Yu Chujin called it.

The large snake’s small ears first twitched, then it turned its head, “Hiss hiss.”

As long as she called it, it would definitely answer, no matter when.

“Can I discuss something with you?” Yu Chujin smiled fawningly.

Yu Chujin was a mischievous person. When she had something to ask of the large snake, she would have a fawning expression. When she didn’t, she would shoo it away, tap its head, and be fierce.

Very realistic.

It was a good thing the large snake didn’t have so many twists and turns. It was stupid and didn’t care about these things.

Yu Chujin walked to its side and patted it, “Can you carry me? I’m very light, especially since I’ve lost so much weight recently. It would definitely be easy for you to carry me.”

The large snake tilted its large head, its eyes dazed.

Yu Chujin directly assumed it had agreed and immediately started to climb onto its body.

The large snake twisted its neck, its eyes wide, looking at the two-legged creature climbing onto its body.

Yu Chujin smiled and acted coquettishly, “I’m not heavy. Just carry me for a bit~”

Yu Chujin acted shamelessly and fiercely, “I don’t care. I’m staying on top. You’re carrying me!”

The large snake tilted its large head and looked at her, its forked tongue hissing. The expression in its usually dazed eyes changed, becoming dark and unreadable.

Yu Chujin couldn’t analyze its meaning. Anyway, she just acted shamelessly and wouldn’t get down, hugging the large snake and not letting go.

The large snake twisted its neck, drew closer to her, and licked her cheek affectionately. Its gaze deepened, and its tail slowly coiled around her waist.

Yu Chujin was shocked.

No way. Just because she asked it to carry her, it was coiling around her waist again.

“It hurts, it hurts. Let go of your tail.”

Yu Chujin wasn’t afraid of it. This kind of behavior had happened several times in the past month. Although Yu Chujin didn’t understand it, she had already become desensitized.

At worst, she would just hit its tail. After hitting it, it was guaranteed to cry.

This was the experience Yu Chujin had summed up after several times.

“You’re not letting go, are you? I’m raising my fist,” Yu Chujin threatened.

The large snake pouted, its ears drooped. Bad mate! Bad snake!

She didn’t have to wait for Yu Chujin to actually hit it. It let go first.

Yu Chujin breathed a sigh of relief. She didn’t want to hit it unless she had to. Mainly because it would cry after being hit.

A snake like a little crybaby, whimpering non-stop. After whimpering, it would sulk and ignore her. Although its sulking only lasted for a short while, and it would be fine after a little coaxing.

Yu Chujin lay on the snake’s body and didn’t get down. Except for when she had just climbed on and the large snake had coiled around her waist, it didn’t seem to have resisted.

The large snake accepted it well and carried her away.

Yu Chujin felt it was very novel. She hugged the smooth and soft large snake tightly, afraid of falling off, and looked around.

Really nice. This feeling was inexplicably cool.

Yu Chujin patted the large snake’s head, and the large snake hissed twice in response.

The large snake no longer had to wait for the slow human. Its slithering speed increased, and it soon brought Yu Chujin to a small stream.

Yu Chujin’s eyes lit up. She quickly jumped off the snake’s body and ran to the stream, extremely excited.

“There’s really water! That’s great!”

She squatted by the stream, cupped some water in her hands, and splashed it on her face.

The cool water on her face instantly dispelled the summer heat, and she felt much more refreshed.

“Snake, we’re not in a hurry to go back. I have to take a bath. I’ve been sticky all over this month. Finally, there’s water for me to wash in.”

“You’re not allowed to leave either. If you leave, you’re a bad snake. You have to stay by my side and protect me. You know, friends have to protect each other.”

She spared no effort to PUA the snake.

The large snake’s small ears twitched, “Hiss hiss.”

After giving her instructions, Yu Chujin was relieved and took off her clothes without another word.

At first, she had a bit of a burden taking off her clothes in the wild, but now she had none at all. She was already used to it. Habit is a terrible thing.

Just as Yu Chujin took off her clothes, the large snake came over.

The large snake was no longer surprised by the two-legged creature’s ability to shed its skin at will, but it was interested in Yu Chujin’s T-shirt.

The two-legged creature had two layers of skin, and it wanted both.

Yu Chujin could naturally see that it was interested and vigilantly held her clothes tightly in her hands.

“Don’t even think about it. My jacket is still hanging on the tree and I can’t get it down. You still want to steal my T-shirt? If you steal this, I’ll really have to be naked!”

Her tone was fierce, a serious warning.

The large snake was aggrieved and didn’t move again, just looked at her T-shirt reluctantly.

Yu Chujin’s mouth twitched. She didn’t understand why this snake was so interested in her T-shirt.

The water in the stream only reached her knees. The water was very cold. When she first got in, Yu Chujin shivered from the cold.

After adapting for a moment, she felt very comfortable. After all, it was summer, and taking a cold bath was always comfortable.

This was a hundred times more comfortable than taking a bath with seawater or rainwater. Yu Chujin stayed in the water, scrubbing left and right. She felt like she could scrub off a layer of dirt.

Downstream, the large snake was drinking water with a gulping sound.

Yu Chujin was speechless, “Are you stupid? Are you stupid? If you want to drink water, go upstream. This bathwater is so dirty.”

The response to Yu Chujin was its small ears, which twitched, but it didn’t stop drinking, continuing to gulp.

Yu Chujin: “…”
