Chapter 1110: Deflation
4-5 minutes 23.07.2022
After resting for a while, Bai Zhi got up and looked around. The beach was full of shells and conch shells, and dead branches were everywhere. The forest and grass in the distance were as tall as a person. It didn’t look like a place where people lived.
She got up and said to Xiao Qing: “Let’s deflate the boat first. This is our life-saving boat. We can’t stay here. I’m not at ease.”
Xiao Qing didn’t understand: “What is deflation?” She didn’t even know where the boat came from.
Such a strange thing, only she can come up with it. She still remembers how surprised their young master was when he saw the things in Bai Zhi’s box.
Bai Zhi didn’t respond to her. She first took out a bag from the box. The bag contained several sets of clothes and some red gold jewelry.
She pulled out a light blue dress and handed it to Xiao Qing: “This color suits you, change it quickly.” Then she took a set of embroidered plum blossoms on a white dress.
The two hid in the boat and changed their clothes.
Bai Zhi took the baggage and the box out of the boat, found the air vent, pulled out the valve, and used a small tool with a particular shape to poke it in. The sound of deflation sounded immediately. The rubber boat kept shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In this kind of situation, in the eyes of modern people like Bai Zhi, was normal. However, in the eyes of ancient people like Xiao Qing, it was as strange as watching mortals perform immortal arts.
“This, this, why did this suddenly become smaller? What’s going on?” Xiao Qing rushed forward and grabbed the rubber boat that was still shrinking in her hands with a panicked look on her face.
The rubber boat shrunk so small like this, how can it hold the two of them in the future?
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “The pump you gave me is still there. Don’t be afraid, we just pump it up when we need it.”
Bai Zhi said lightly, but Xiao Qing didn’t quite understand it.
While talking, the rubber boat has flattened.
Bai Zhi called Xiao Qing to help her squeeze the rubber boat with their hands, squeezing the remaining air out.
After all the air was squeezed out, the size of the rubber boat was only as big as a skirt. Bai Zhi carefully folded it and stuffed it into the medicine box.
“This, this, what is this thing made of? How can it become bigger or smaller at will? It’s the same as the immortal art in fairy stories. Miss, are you an immortal?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “Silly girl, what kind of immortal art is this? It’s just that the material used to make this boat is rather special. You haven’t seen it before, so you find it strange, in our—” After saying those words, she stopped. Once a person opened their mouth, it was easy to slip their tongue.
“Forget it, let’s stop talking, let’s go.” She buckled the box and was about to pick it up.
Xiao Qing was very strong. When she saw this, she quickly took it and picked up the medicine box. “Let me do it!”
Bai Zhi didn’t argue with her. In this situation, she didn’t have the strength to carry such a heavy box. It would be nice if she could walk.
The two turned around and enter the forest. The first thing to do was to find water and then find food. They can’t let themselves die of thirst and starve. They can only think about other things if they wanted to survive.
Bai Zhi held a scalpel in hand. Unfortunately, her pistol had no bullets, otherwise, she doesn’t need to use the scalpel.
Xiao Qing had a dagger on her body and she knew martial arts. She walked in front to open the way for Bai Zhi.
There was not much difference between the forest and the ordinary mountain forest. There were weeds and wild trees everywhere. The only difference was that the trees here were all trees that can adapt to the ocean climate, such as coconut trees.
The was also a sea pear tree, which bears fruit.
Bai Zhi has eaten this pear before. It has a sweet taste. However, the tree was very tall, even taller than a coconut tree. Its fruit was even more challenging to pick.
