Stranded on a Deserted Island and Entangled by a Green Snake 26p1

Chapter 26: Cold p1

“Are you injured?”

Yu Chujin circled the large snake and found that a nail was embedded in its tail, about a meter up. The nail was halfway in.

Yu Chujin gasped, “How did you do that? Aiyo, it hurts just looking at it.”

Not knowing how to handle it, Yu Chujin became flustered, “It’s so deep. What should I do? Should I pull it out for you? Can it be pulled out directly?”

Yu Chujin wanted to pull it out but didn’t dare to. She was not only a novice in wilderness survival, but she also had no idea how to treat a wound.

She was even more afraid that the blood would not stop after the nail was pulled out. There was no medicine here to stop the bleeding.

Just as Yu Chujin was panicking and didn’t know what to do, the large snake coiled its tail, opened its mouth, bit the nail, and with a pop, the nail was pulled out of its flesh.

It had pulled the nail out itself without any hesitation.

The blood-stained nail was spat onto the sand. The large snake looked at her with teary eyes.

Yu Chujin was stunned for two seconds. After she came to her senses, she hurried forward to check, “Why did you pull it out so suddenly? You should have at least notified me first. Does it hurt to pull it out like that?”

She squatted on the ground and looked down at its wound. There was no gushing blood that couldn’t be stopped. There was only a small amount of blood flowing from around the wound.

And the blood was not the usual red, but a cyan color.

Its blood was the same color as its skin.

The large snake’s skin was cyan, its claws were cyan, and even the color of its pupils was cyan. It was a proper large green snake.

But right now, the color of the blood was not the point. The point was that the nail had been embedded halfway deep. Even if there wasn’t much blood, this situation would require a tetanus shot.

But obviously, on this deserted island, let alone a tetanus shot, it was impossible to find even a bandage to dress the wound.

Yu Chujin stared at the wound and frowned, worried, “You’re so big, your resistance should be very strong, right? You should be fine, right? But tetanus doesn’t seem to have anything to do with resistance.”

“You, you had to go and pick up that glass bottle. I don’t need any more glass bottles. There’s already a whole pile. What am I going to do with so many?”

“You can pick them up, but you’re not careful. What are you going to do now? If you really get tetanus, you’ll be a dead snake.”

“What will I do if you die!”

Yu Chujin was both angry and anxious and couldn’t help but scold it. But when she met its teary eyes, her heart immediately softened.

It was useless to scold it now. Yu Chujin sighed, softened her tone, and patted its large head, “Does it hurt a lot?”

The large snake nudged its head into her arms for a hug, and a “wuwuwu” sound came from its throat.

Yu Chujin hugged it and patted it comfortingly, “Alright, alright, don’t cry.”

The “wuwuwu” sound grew louder.

Yu Chujin hugged it and coaxed it for a while, then squatted down to check its wound again. The bleeding had stopped, and even…

There were faint signs of healing.

Yu Chujin’s eyes widened. No, no matter how fast the recovery speed was, it couldn’t be this fast.

It had only been a few minutes, and it had already healed by a third.

Yu Chujin looked at the remaining cyan blood on the edge of the wound, then at the crying large snake, “You can’t really be a monster, can you?”

If it really was a monster, then tetanus probably wouldn’t hurt it. This was Yu Chujin’s first reaction.

The large snake didn’t know what a monster was. The large snake was only asking for comfort, nudging its head over, wanting hugs and pats.

“Alright, alright, hugs, hugs. It doesn’t hurt anymore, it doesn’t hurt anymore,” Yu Chujin comforted it softly.

After comforting it for about ten minutes, the large snake was still whimpering, its large head pressed against her, looking pitiful.

Anyone who knew would know that it had only suffered a small injury. Anyone who didn’t would think its tail had been broken.

The wound looked scary at first glance. After all, half a nail had been embedded in it. But against the backdrop of the large snake’s massive body, it seemed to be just a trivial little wound.

And with its heaven-defying recovery speed, it was already half healed.

Since the wound was almost healed, did it have to whimper and cry non-stop?

Yu Chujin pushed its large head away, “Are you pretending? You’re not really in that much pain, are you?”

She had only intended to test it, but the large snake’s large eyes darted left and right, not looking at her, and it stopped whimpering.

It looked left and right, as if it were very busy.

Yu Chujin laughed in anger. It really was pretending.

Its little tricks were really too obvious, completely on the surface. Whenever it lied or felt guilty, its eyes would not dare to look at her, and it would pretend to be busy.

She had worried about it for nothing.

Yu Chujin squatted down and checked its wound again. In just about ten minutes, the wound had already recovered by two-thirds. If one didn’t look closely, the wound was almost invisible.

This creature might really be a monster. Not only did it bleed cyan blood, but its recovery speed was simply terrifying, not at all like an animal that would exist in reality.

“A monster is a monster. Anyway, as long as you monster doesn’t eat me, it’s fine,” Yu Chujin was very carefree and didn’t care.

Whether it was a human, a demon, a ghost, or a monster, what did it matter? As long as it didn’t hurt her, it was a good snake.

The large snake had just lied, which made it feel too guilty. It ran under a tree to hide by itself, hiding its large head behind the tree, but its tail couldn’t be hidden.

Yu Chujin: “Burying its head in the sand. What a silly snake.”

It was not a regular animal and couldn’t be judged by common sense. The possibility of it getting tetanus was probably low.

After confirming that the large snake was fine and was just pretending to be pitiful, Yu Chujin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was fine, it was fine.

Yu Chujin returned to the bonfire and picked up the iron can she had placed on the side. The strawberry and loquat jam had already cooled and was ready to eat.

She picked up her self-made chopsticks, scooped up a small piece, and put it in her mouth to taste.

The sweetness of the wild strawberries, the sweet and sour taste of the loquats, and a faint coconut flavor, all mixed together.

Yu Chujin nodded. Not bad. She had invented a new food. She was full of a sense of accomplishment.

When she ate the rabbit meat later, she would spread a little of this jam on it. The taste would probably be very good.

As she was eating the jam, she turned her head to look at the large snake still hiding behind the tree.

The large snake was furtively peeking.

Yu Chujin was amused and beckoned to it, “Stop hiding. Come over. I’m not holding it against you.”

Seeing her beckoning gesture and her gentle tone, the large snake’s drooping ears instantly pricked up.

The two-legged creature wasn’t angry!

After getting permission, the large snake shot over in a hurry. It was so fast that it kicked up a cloud of sand.

Yu Chujin had the foresight to cover the iron can with her hand. Otherwise, with so much dust kicked up, the entire can of jam would have been ruined.

“Here, you try some too,” Yu Chujin scooped up a small chopstickful and, with great foresight, warned it in advance.

“Eat gently. Don’t bite my chopsticks, and definitely don’t take my arm in your mouth. You know?”

She chattered on with a bunch of warnings. Of course, the large snake didn’t understand a single word.

But it could judge her tone and knew that the two-legged creature was not to be trifled with at the moment. It had to be a little more careful.

The large snake didn’t carelessly bite the chopsticks, but gently licked them.

Yu Chujin nodded, very satisfied. This creature finally knew to be a little gentler when eating.

She was a little proud. How could this not be called being good at training snakes? She was really amazing.

As Yu Chujin was being narcissistic and smug, she heard the large snake go “ptooey,” spitting out the jam it had just licked.

Spitting it out wasn’t enough. It even stuck out its tongue, looking as if it had eaten something incredibly disgusting.

Yu Chujin: “…”

As expected, she and the large snake couldn’t eat together. Their tastes were too far apart.

Perhaps in the large snake’s eyes, Yu Chujin was a person who loved to mess around with these disgusting things, who liked to turn all the delicious ingredients into unpalatable ones.

“Go, go, go. If you don’t like it, go far away. You’re always the most disappointing one.”

After saying that, she shook her head and smiled, “But it’s also good. At least I have you by my side to be a wet blanket.”

If it weren’t for the large snake, she would have probably gone crazy after living on this deserted island for a month. Or maybe she wouldn’t have gone crazy, because with her survival skills, she would have probably starved to death before she could go crazy.

In her daily self-reflection, she had to be a little nicer to the large snake and not always be so fierce with it.

The next second, the large snake licked her face.

Yu Chujin’s self-reflection failed. She opened her mouth and scolded, “Licking and licking again. I see you’re asking for a beating.”

The large snake shrank its head and blinked aggrievedly.

After a simple meal, Yu Chujin played with the nail in her hand.

It was the nail that had injured the large snake. She had picked it up, thinking about whether she could use it to make a fishhook.

She felt like eating fish. She was really tired of rabbits and wild chickens and wanted a change of taste.

But the problem was that the large snake refused to catch fish, insisting that fish were poisonous…

This single-minded, stupid snake.

Wanting to eat fish for a change of taste was one reason. The second reason was that she was too idle and wanted to find something to do. Fishing could pass the time.

Yu Chujin went over the process of making a fishhook in her mind. She could first grind the nail on a stone, then heat it over a fire until it was red-hot, and then find a way to bend it into the shape of a fishhook.

As for the fishing line, there were still a lot of ropes left from the paraglider. They should be usable.

The production process didn’t seem difficult, but she didn’t know if it would be difficult to implement.

Yu Chujin put the nail away for now. She could try to make a fishhook on a day when she was bored. Fishing could also be considered a recreational activity and could be included as one of her tasks.

The sky was getting dark.

Another day had passed. She had done a lot today. She had picked wild strawberries and loquats, made jam, and even found a water source and took a bath.

Her days on the deserted island were becoming more and more like a proper life. Living like this didn’t seem particularly painful. It seemed she was getting used to it.

But what could she do if she didn’t get used to it? Yu Chujin gazed at the sea at night, countless times hoping that a ship would appear on the sea, but countless times she was disappointed.

Early morning.

The first thing she did when she got up was to shoo away the large snake blocking the entrance. When the shelter was small, it would block the door with its head.

Now that the shelter had been expanded and was larger, it would coil into a ball and block the door with its entire body.

In short, it had to block the door.

Yu Chujin yawned, and the large snake next to her also yawned.

Yu Chujin rubbed her eyes with her hands, and the large snake also rubbed its eyes with its claws.

Yu Chujin stretched her body and turned her head. The large snake stood up and also turned its head.

Yu Chujin glanced at it, helpless and speechless, “You’re such a copycat.”

The large snake: “Hiss hiss.”

She went to the tree and carved a horizontal line on the trunk, marking the beginning of a new day.

For breakfast, she simply ate the leftover roasted rabbit from yesterday, dipped in some jam. She stopped after eating about half full.

The taste was too bland, and the weather was too hot. She had no appetite for anything.

She took her pig feed bag, filled it with a pile of water bottles and a bottle of collected wood ash, called the large snake, and set off for the stream.

Yu Chujin struggled to climb onto the large snake’s back, “Let’s go, let’s go to the stream to wash our faces, take a bath, brush our teeth, and collect some water.”

The large snake hissed twice and carried her towards the stream.
