Chapter 209: Suddenly Seeing Fire
Watching a ship leave, everyone felt despair for the first time in these few days.
They didn't know whether it was because the island was too small or because it was too far away from the fishing route to avoid being discovered.
"Should we leave here and seek help at sea?" Song Wan's sister-in-law pursed her lips and suggested cautiously.
Everyone was silent, and they didn't know whether they should do this.
"But we don't have a boat." Shen Yitian sighed.
She actually felt that it was not a good idea to wait for rescue on the island.
However, there were only some coconut trees and some small shrubs on the island, and they had no experience in shipbuilding.
Even making a small raft is not an easy task.
What's more, the space was temporarily closed. She only had a small fruit knife in her hand that she had taken out from the space. It took a lot of effort to cut the small shrubs used to tie the cloth strips. If she tried to cut larger wood, she was afraid that she would not be able to do it.
If they stay on this island, they will not be in danger, at least in the short term.
As for leaving the island, we have to wait until her space is opened again.
There is no boat in the space, but there are the wood she stored and various tools.
It’s not impossible to try to make a raft or a boat when the time comes.
Thinking of this, she shook her head: "We can't leave now."
Everyone was silent again.
Although no one knew why, since she said it, no one refuted it.
Song Wanshi believed in her, while the others simply thought that they should not go against the Dragon Queen at this time.
The boat had left, and everyone was in low spirits, so they simply went to higher ground to continue looking for water.
Fortunately, they were unlucky twice in one day. After everyone had used up two buckets of water, they finally found the first water source on the island.
It was a small stream of mountain spring water seeping out from the cracks in the rocks.
After a long time of struggling, several people finally used a fruit knife to carve out a small wooden slip to collect the water from the cracks in the rock.
After it was connected, the water could only flow down from the wooden slips.
Despite this, it made everyone happy for a long time.
After finding the water source, Shen Yitian immediately asked everyone to take two empty buckets and fetch two buckets of water.
She just stood there, wondering if she could use the water to wash her hair.
After being soaked in sea water and being stuck on the island for three days, she felt her hair was about to get tangled.
People are like this. They can endure anything when they don't pay attention to it.
Once she noticed it, she would feel uncomfortable everywhere, and she would feel awkward all over if she didn't wash her hair.
She rubbed her hair with her hands and wished she could cut off all of it.
Mrs. Song Wan accidentally glanced over here, and seeing her like this, she couldn't help but smile: "Miss Shen, I'll boil a pot of water later, you can wash your hair."
This young lady had never been so embarrassed before, even when she was on the road of exile.
Shen Yitian's eyes lit up immediately: "Is it okay?"
Mrs. Song Wan said, "Of course, there's water here. I'll come over to get more water after you wash your hair."
They have food and drink thanks to this lady, so washing their hair is nothing.
The others didn't react as quickly as Song Wanshi, but no one thought it was excessive for Shen Yitian to wash her hair in this situation.
Before dark, all the women on the island washed their hair.
Since there was nothing else they could use, they would put burnt wood ashes on their heads, rub them and then rinse them off.
It wasn’t as effective as the usual shampoo, but after washing away the oil and mud on her head, Shen Yitian felt that her head felt a lot lighter.
Another day passed. During these days of being trapped on the island, Shen Yitian seemed to have experienced what it meant to live a long life in the mountains.
At night, everyone lay on the beach and chatted, and life was actually not that difficult.
The moon shines on everyone's face, and everyone's face is filled with the carefree and cheerful joy that is far away from the world.
After chatting, everyone prepared to return to their accommodations to rest. The beach was comfortable, and they all wanted to rest here. However, the tide would be high tomorrow morning, and no one wanted to be soaked in the sea again.
But before she had taken a few steps, Shen Yitian suddenly stopped again.
When she turned around, she seemed to see a light on the sea?
Her first reaction was to wonder if there was anything else she could stock up on.
But then she thought again, the stockpiling task was completed, and the space was closed for upgrades, so she shouldn't be able to see anything glowing.
However, you can clearly see some bright lights on the sea.
Wait, could it be...
The bold guess made Shen Yitian's heart move. She didn't even have time to say anything and took out the flashlight.
Fortunately, she remembered to take out a flashlight when she was getting something, so she could find light at night.
Turning on the flashlight, she didn't shine it towards the bright light on the sea, but pointed it upwards.
The white light shot up into the sky, shocking the others so much that they opened their mouths wide.
"This night-shining pearl can shine so far!"
Shen Yitian chuckled and didn't respond.
Song Wanshi silently moved towards her, blocking the view of the people behind her.
Who understands? She saw the appearance of the night pearl.
Whose night-shining pearl is long and pink...
Song Wan's sister-in-law was not as clever as her, but she had figured out in the past two days that this Miss Shen was different from everyone else.
Now the whole family depends on Miss Shen's help. She has to help her sister-in-law and protect this eldest lady.
So she silently took a step forward, blocking the view of the people behind her.
The others didn't know what was going on. They just saw the two sisters-in-law blocking Shen Yitian one after another, and wondered if this night pearl was afraid of the wind like a candle?
That won’t do. The night pearl Miss Shen took out must be useful, and we can’t let it be blown out by the wind.
So they lined up like a queue, some first and some last, standing one after another behind Song Wan's two sisters-in-law, and it was unclear whose view they were blocking.
Shen Yitian didn't pay attention to the actions of these people. She only looked at the spiritual light on the sea.
In the dark night, she could see the fire on the opposite side, and the people on the opposite side should also be able to see her flashlight!
The lighthouse guidance I read about in books before should be like this.
Or perhaps she should find a higher place.
But she was afraid that if she went to a higher place, the light would be dimmer and it would be harder for the people on the other side to see the flashlight.
Although the flashlight is very bright, she is not sure whether the light can penetrate the vast ocean.
Fortunately, her flashlight seemed to have some effect, and the fire over there became bigger and closer.
At first, no one knew what Shen Yitian was doing, but when they saw the fire growing brighter and brighter on the sea, they understood.
Shen Yitian is asking for help!
Song Qiao was so excited that she shouted out, "Hey! Is that a boat? Help!"
