Chapter 51: Shaking hands with a lover with crossed fingers

Chapter 51: Shaking hands with a lover with crossed fingers

When Zhang Liu and Anya walked around a small circle and approached Qin Rushuang, they realized that the other party had completed the construction of the “burner.”

Qin Rushuang's prowess is indeed good.

She mainly took advantage of the stones that Zhang Liu left in the cave and built two long "stone walls" on the beach.

Furthermore, a fire was lit in the middle of the stone wall, and shells were placed on it, filled with fresh water. Qin Rushuang is boiling water in preparation, but the other end of the stone wall is still empty; this is what she set aside for the shelf, a place for barbecue.

“Here, you guys, drink some coconut juice first.”

Seeing the two people coming, Qin Rushuang glanced at the handful of still blood-stained entrails in Anya's hand.

She then pointed to the three coconuts that had been opened next to her and said, "I feel like it's already late, so I thought I'd get something for you guys to come back and fill your stomachs with."

"Okay!" He unceremoniously threw all the dozens of entrails in his hand onto the shell that he was holding.

Anya ran straight to Qin Rushuang and sat down, then drank copiously from the coconut.

The two spent a lot of time cutting meat.

Zhang Liu, who has thick skin and thick flesh, can still endure hunger, and at this moment, he can still endure hunger and thirst in his stomach.

But as a girl, Anya naturally couldn't wait to eat something to replenish her energy.

“Okay, okay, let’s eat some coconut to soothe our stomachs first, then eat this.” Zhang Liu put down the shell, then sat down next to the two girls, ready to eat.

Then he heard Qin Rushuang whisper, “Zhang Liu, I want to cook by myself to get used to it.”

“Ah…” Zhang Liu was taken aback for a moment, with extreme hesitation on his face.

In the morning, he still clearly remembered the image of the other party vomiting.

Qin Rushuang seriously looked at Zhang Liu and Anya, who were about to speak, and said, “If I want to live here, this is an indispensable step for me, right?”

“But… Xiao Rushuang...” Anya pursed her lips and then fell silent.

Right now, she doesn't know what angle she should stand at to persuade Qin Rushuang.

In fact, the other party is absolutely right.

This kind of thing can be considered a process that will definitely be tried in the future.

"It's okay!" Seeing that Zhang Liu and Anya were still standing in place, Qin Rushuang simply picked up the coconut and stuffed it into Zhang Liu's hand.

She got up herself and walked towards the shell.

The smell of waste comes off very quickly in the hot and humid conditions of a tropical beach.

Even Zhang Liu and Anya had already cleaned themselves several times beforehand.

At this moment, when Qin Rushuang approached, she also smelled a pungent and somewhat suffocating odor.

They looked at the colorful internal organs, as well as the coagulated blood clots on the skewers.

Those horrific scenes in her memory resurfaced again.

Her legs were shaking, her heart was racing, and her instinct was telling her not to go any closer.

But in the end, it's just instinct!

She gritted her teeth, controlling her extremely stiff legs, and stepped in front of the shell, then forced her eyes to focus on the fragments of internal organs.

The suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe spread throughout Qin Rushuang's body.

Now she could only open her mouth wide and gasp to avoid the smell, and her body was unable to make any effective movements at all.

In the end, both Zhang Liu and Anya watched her with anxious eyes.

Qin Rushuang bent down and extended her hand, successfully picking up the shell at the expense of placing her cheek close to the internal organ fragments. She then walked over to the two of them and placed them on the shore.

"The next step is just to put it on, right?" Her lips trembled as she asked Zhang Liu, who was watching her.

“Yes.” Zhang Liu nodded. Qin Rushuang was about to reach out to grab it, but her hand was grabbed.

“Use this.” Zhang Liu worriedly looked at the palm he was holding tightly, then handed two twigs of appropriate length to Qin Rushuang and said, “Your hands...”

This was not the first time he had held Qin Rushuang's hand.

Zhang Liu only had one feeling when he accidentally touched something.

This is warmth and softness, something he was definitely not able to touch many times in his life.

But right now, he only felt cold and stiff.

Zhang Liu really wanted to convince Qin Rushuang not to hold out if she felt really uncomfortable.

But looking at the stubborn but serious expression on the other person's face at this moment, no matter how much he said, he couldn't help but swallow it down in his stomach.

"Okay!" Qin Rushuang showed a hint of embarrassment on her face after Zhang Liu asked her to use chopsticks.

She felt like she was a bit stupid and actually forgot the wise saying, "The biggest difference between man and animal is the use of tools."

One of her hands felt warm and comforting in Zhang Liu's palm, while the other hand was preparing to pick up the pieces of internal organs and place them into the shell.

Just when Qin Rushuang was about to do so, she realized that she seemed to have grabbed Zhang Liu's hand.

She accidentally formed a "lover's fist" with five crossed fingers.

Her face instantly turned red, and her originally cold body became hot due to the shame that spread from the depths of her soul.

Qin Rushuang quickly released the palm she was holding, then began to quickly clamp down the internal organ fragments.

Maybe it's because I was distracted.

After putting all the internal organ parts into the shell, she could look at the raw skewers face-to-face in amazement.

It was like being able to stand there and watch Zhang Liu beat the goat to death last night.

Is this because of my increased adrenaline?

Qin Rushuang inhaled heavily, and there was still a strong smell of blood in her nose.

But she was no longer afraid, but calm.

Subconsciously spreading the palm of the hand that Zhang Liu was holding in front of her, Qin Rushuang could feel the palpitations in her body and mind at that moment.

This feeling of relief that made her whole body tremble and then calm down left her with some unforgettable memories.

“Qin Rushuang, please eat more liver later; Zhang Liu cut two more skewers specially for you.” Anya looked at Zhang Liu’s palm, then said to Qin Rushuang, “It can replenish blood!”

She changed her name to Qin Rushuang again.

From Xiao Rushuang to her full name.

Anya felt a little uncomfortable, especially when Qin Rushuang was about to grab Zhang Liu with his fingers crossed.

She had a feeling that something precious was about to be taken from her.

Anya put the half-drunk coconut juice in her hand, placed the leftover skewers on both sides of the “stone wall stove,” and began to rotate them just as she had seen when she went to eat the roast duck.

When Qin Rushuang designed the space between the two “stone wall stoves,” she specifically referred to the coconut meat sticks that Anya had thrown aside after finishing it the last time.

Therefore, offal skewers can be stuck on both sides, completely exposing tender meat that needs to be grilled over a charcoal fire.

This makes Anya use it very comfortably.

Soon the soft entrails began to secrete something resembling a mixture of blood, water, and grease.

After the liquid dripped onto the charcoal fire, the smell that only occurs when red meat proteins are burned gradually began to mask the smell of blood in the air.

The color of the parts of the internal organs inside the cochlea also gradually changes.

A unique aroma of cooked meat also began to blend into the air, and at the same time, a layer of white foam appeared on the surface of the soup, which only appeared after the blood had frozen.

“Gulu…” When Zhang Liu sensed the scene in front of him, he quickly picked up the coconut shell and started extracting the foam, and at the same time, his stomach began to growl.

Next to him, Anya, who was grilling the skewers, and Qin Rushuang, who was adding firewood, also had longing expressions on their faces.

"It should almost be done!"

After some time passed, the sun gradually became hotter.

Anya removed the fully cooked skewers from the heat.

She and Zhang Liu each had ten skewers, and Qin Rushuang had twelve.

Looking at the ten skewers of internal organs that were boiling in oil in front of him, Zhang Liu couldn't take it anymore.

He picked up a handful at random, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.

Grilled offal without any seasoning is not delicious, and Anya's roast is not perfect, and some of the edges are charred.

But with the double hunger and lack of oil and water, he tasted almost nothing and had already finished a whole batch of roasted scraps.

The same was true for Qin Rushuang and Anya, next to Zhang Liu.

For a while, the three lost the ability to speak and could only listen to the sound of the entrails boiling inside the shell.

Then they ate the skewers—not necessarily tasty enough, but really delicious.
