770 -769: Take Off The Clothes

After comforting her with kind words and reassuring her that he really wasn’t injured, Che Xiaoxiao finally stopped crying.

Relieved by this, Hao Jian let out a sigh but soon found himself worrying again.

Not about anything else, but because it was getting late and he couldn’t figure out their direction, nor did he know where there might be signs of human habitation.

Moreover, it was not appropriate to go out and search at night, as it was easy to have an accident.

He didn’t mind for himself, but it wasn’t the same for the young girl Che Xiaoxiao.

Therefore, Hao Jian could only look around nearby to see if there was a place to rest.

His luck seemed quite good—after only a short search, he found a cave.

Although it was a bit small, it was enough for two people to rest.

“Alright, let’s rest here for the night, and we’ll go out tomorrow to see if we can find a way back,” he said.

Walking into the cave, Hao Jian briefly assessed the air and humidity inside, finding it cooler and drier than outside, with no signs of it being inhabited by wild animals.

It was a completely natural cave.

“Hmm.”

Che Xiaoxiao obediently nodded and then walked in.

Just as she did, she heard Hao Jian’s voice.

“Rest here for a bit while I go out and get some dry grass and food.”

This level of wilderness survival was a daily affair for the former Hao Jian.

With his rich experience, he clearly knew what the suitable approach was here.

Speaking of this approach, it was the experience accumulated from the missions Hao Jian used to undertake.

Each place’s wilderness survival situation was different, and what worked in one place might not be suitable in another.

Having experienced this, he summarized his experience after completing his missions.

With this set of experiences, he had devised various patterns for different environments and situations.

All that was needed was to apply these patterns and make minor adjustments according to the specific circumstances.

This time, what Hao Jian chose was a long-established survival pattern from a deserted island.

Here, apart from his hands, he had nothing at all to use—the two cards in his pocket were just ordinary cards in this godforsaken place.

“Still, this guy is reliable…”

Watching Hao Jian leave, Che Xiaoxiao found a spot in the cave, sat down with her chin propped on her hands, and waited quietly for Hao Jian’s return.

At this moment, she felt like a housewife waiting for her beloved to come home.

Thinking of this heartwarming scene, a slight curve formed unconsciously at the corners of Che Xiaoxiao’s mouth, her eyes narrowing into crescents.

“I’ve found some wild fruit to fill the belly, and dry grass too.

Now I just need to gather some dry firewood and head back…”

With the little strength he had recovered, Hao Jian climbed the hill, hoping to find something useful.

His luck was indeed good—he found some edible wild fruits and some dried weeds.

After picking and uprooting them and tying them up, he prepared to head down.

But as he took a step, he suddenly recalled he needed to prepare a source of fire.

It was uncertain whether to call it good luck, but as soon as he climbed the hill, he found some small pieces of flint.

For the current Hao Jian, such things were lifesavers.

Hao Jian didn’t smoke and didn’t carry a lighter with him, and even if he did have a lighter, it would have been ruined by the seawater.

Flint, one of the most common minerals in the world, could be found almost everywhere.

Flint is also one of the raw materials for lighters, and ancient people often used such stones when traveling.

By striking two pieces of flint of similar hardness against each other, sparks could be generated to achieve the purpose of making fire.

Since they were easy to carry, people in ancient times almost always carried flint on their travels.

Picking up some dry branches along the way, Hao Jian was ready to return.

Upon reaching the cave, he casually threw the firewood he had been carrying onto the sandy beach and then walked in with the dry grass and wild fruits.

“Are you back?”

Che Xiaoxiao, who had been waiting in the cave for nearly twenty minutes, said obediently when she saw Hao Jian appear.

“Yes, we’re lucky.

We can spend the night safely,” Hao Jian replied with a smile.

Then he reached behind him and a bunch of wild fruits appeared in his hand.

He placed them in front of Che Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, “You can eat these wild fruits.

They’re not quite ripe and might be a bit tart, but they’ll fill your stomach.”

“We don’t have any fresh water here to wash the fruits, so we’ll just have to make do with eating them as they are.

Anyway, they won’t kill you,” Hao Jian laughed.

He was a bit worried that this young lady might not adapt to the situation since she hadn’t suffered many hardships growing up.

“Don’t underestimate me.

I’ve eaten these kinds of wild fruits before.

When I was little, I would often run into the mountains to pick them.

Just every time…

when my mother found out…”

Grabbing a fruit and stuffing it into her mouth, Che Xiaoxiao spoke with her words muffled, which made Hao Jian smile.

He then put down the dry grass carefully and spread it out.

“All right, the bed is ready!”

After dusting off his hands from putting together the makeshift bed, Hao Jian turned to Che Xiaoxiao and shook his head, “Take off your clothes, I’ll dry them by the fire.

Wearing wet clothes makes it easy to catch a cold.”

Since coming out of the sea, both of them had been in their drenched clothes.

Hao Jian’s body could care less about such things, but Che Xiaoxiao couldn’t afford to be so indifferent—her constitution was relatively weak, and in a godforsaken place like this, catching a cold was really quite a hassle.

“Okay…

alright…”

…

“Let’s try this out and see if it works.”

Walking over to the entrance of the cave, he pulled out the flint he had picked earlier and looked at the pile of weeds before him.

Taking the flint, Hao Jian struck it a few times against the weeds.

“Crack, crack!”

The flint sparked, scattering tiny flames onto the pile of flammable weeds on the ground, leaving a slight scorch mark but failing to ignite the weeds.

“Huh, it works!”

Seeing this, Hao Jian was not discouraged but rather eager to keep trying.

After several attempts, he finally managed to light the weeds.

Carefully, he added more, and the fire grew stronger.

Upon seeing this, Hao Jian hurriedly threw the dry branches he had prepared onto the fire.

He then made a simple clothes rack and hung the wet clothes on it, moving them close to the flames so that the fire could dry the soaked garments.

“Hao Jian, you’re so amazing!”

Jingjing, who had been watching the entire process of starting and maintaining the fire, looked at Hao Jian with starry, admiring eyes.

“Of course, who do you think you’re following?

I am none other than Lord Hao Jian, the young master himself!”

Consequently, Hao Jian couldn’t help showing off a little.

“Alright, come over and warm up by the fire.”

Hao Jian waved Che Xiaoxiao over, cutting off her retort.

Che Xiaoxiao pouted in dissatisfaction and moved closer to the flames.

A wave of warmth instantly dispelled the chill within her body, and Che Xiaoxiao comfortably squinted her eyes…

“Achoo!!!”

Just as they were warming themselves by the fire, Che Xiaoxiao suddenly sneezed and began to tremble slightly.

“Hm?

Xiaoxiao, what’s the matter?!”

Noticing something was off with Che Xiaoxiao, Hao Jian quickly reached out and touched her shoulder, releasing his Palm Power to check on her.

After finding out she was suffering from a mild cold, he breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, it wasn’t anything serious.

The cave at night was rather cool, but Che Xiaoxiao had also been soaking in the water for half the day, and now those wet clothes in the coolness of the night didn’t help matters.

Fortunately, this mild cold could be dealt with simply by keeping warm appropriately.

“Take everything off…”

If she caught a cold, touching anything cold was the last thing she needed, especially since Che Xiaoxiao still had two wet garments on.

If she wore these through the night, she might wake up feverish come morning.

However, asking a girl to take off everything was a bit awkward, and Hao Jian touched his nose before finally speaking up.

After all, Che Xiaoxiao was a girl.

“You…

jerk!”
