This way, the water droplets that condensed on the surgical knife in the early morning would flow along the surgical knife to drip into the first aid box.
The first aid box was used to contain the surgical knife.
But the lid itself could also be used to collect water.
Thus, Bai Qinghao took off his expensive, waterproof watch. He arranged it to similarly hang above the lid. This way, there would be another source of pure water.
For the time being, he could not locate any other items suitable for collecting drinkable water.
Bai Qinghao returned to where Fang Xinxin was lying beneath a tree.
She was still asleep.
They had been too unrestrained last night and she was thoroughly exhausted.
After drifting ashore for so long and enduring countless dangers, both of them had been overwhelmed with emotions.
The shells he had stored in his shirt earlier had fully dried up. Even their clothes had fully dried up by yesterday afternoon.
After embracing her earlier, they had gotten fully dressed again.
He unbuttoned his shirt and wrapped it around her. It would be good if it warmed her up even slightly.
He had thought to leave to collect some dew water from the leaves. However, as he watched her sleep, he realized that she was trembling.
He was worried she would fall sick. Thus, he sat down on the ground and lifted her into his arms, allowing her to rest in his embrace.
Fang Xinxin was thoroughly exhausted. She opened her eyes drowsily and when she saw that it was him, she quickly fell back asleep.
Her husband’s embrace was indeed much warmer.
As Bai Qinghao held her, he swore internally that he would build a shelter for them when the sun rose. He would not let her sleep on the ground again.
By the time the morning mist had faded and the sun had risen, Bai Qinghao had to put Fang Xinxin down to ensure the water he had collected would not evaporate. He then went to check on the first aid box nearby.
He approached and saw that there were around three hundred millimeters of water in the box. There was also around two hundred millimeters of water in its lid.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
As expected, this island was much more humid and they could collect more water than they did when they were adrift.
Although five hundred millimeters of water was not sufficient for them to last through the day, at the very least, they would not die of thirst.
If he failed to collect more water or was unable to locate a water source, perhaps he would look for edible fruits to hydrate them.
He carefully poured the water on the lid into the box before closing it.
He then searched for an area with a lot of shade and buried the box there.
This would prevent the water from evaporating when the temperature became too high.
Bai Qinghao then returned to the beach to search for edible shellfish once again.
After an hour, he finally collected around a kilogram of shellfish.
There were barely any edible shellfish on this beach.
The island itself seemed to have very few sources of food.
His pockets were stuffed with shellfish. He held another pile in his palms as he returned to Fang Xinxin.
She had just awoken when Bai Qinghao placed the pile of seashells by her side.
He then brought more out from his pockets. The two of them resolved the breakfast situation like that.
“It sure is good to have a husband.” She smiled beautifully as she teased him. “I get breakfast the moment I wake up.”
Bai Qinghao saw that she was smiling sincerely. However, this only caused him to feel more guilty. “Silly.”
She was the only one who would think that there was anything good about this situation. If any other woman had to suffer with him like this, they would most definitely have resented him to death.
“You’re the silly one.” Fang Xinxin asked him for the surgical knife to continue removing the meat from the shellfish but he did not hand it over.. Instead, he removed several pieces of meat and sliced them thinly before placing them on a clean leaf for her.
