Chapter 557 - 557 Fourth Brother

557 Fourth Brother

Seeing that she was clinging on to Zhou Zhi like an octopus, she hurriedly let go.

She did not know when her master and the others would find her. On this island, there was only her and Zhou Zhi. If they wanted to survive, they had to build a shelter.

If it was just her, she could sleep in the air with a few vines.

But now, with Zhou Zhi around, he could not do it in midair.

They could only look for materials on the spot.

Su Xiaolu stood up and looked around before walking into the forest.

The forest was lush and filled with spiritual energy. When Su Xiaolu saw the bird’s nest, she flew into the trees to take it. There were four or five bird eggs. These could be their nutrition sources.

When she saw the pheasants, she plucked some leaves and used her Internal force to hit them.

When she arrived at the place where she found the banana last night, she really found a water source and dealt with the pheasants. She looked around and found a cave. She took some water and returned.

When she returned to the fire, Zhou Zhi was not around.

But a crawling trail led down to the beach.

Su Xiaolu put the roast chicken on the rack and went to look for Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi was digging seash.e.l.ls on the beach. He sat cross-legged on the beach and had no image at all. He dug one out with a stick and wrapped it in his clothes.

Perhaps sensing Su Xiaolu’s gaze, he turned around and waved at her.

Su Xiaolu shouted, “Come back quickly. I dug out the bird’s nest and caught pheasants.”

Zhou Zhi nodded. “Alright, I’m coming.”

With that, Su Xiaolu turned around and returned. She did not help Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her disappear. Su Xiaolu was smart. Most of the time, she could understand without him saying anything.

Even if he had to crawl and bear the pain, he did not want Su Xiaolu to help him at this time.

When he returned to the fire, the roasted chicken was already fragrant. There were no seasonings, just the taste of the chicken itself.

Zhou Zhi poured out some sh.e.l.ls from his bag and washed them with water. Then, he wrapped them in banana leaves and buried them in the flint.

“I don’t know when they’ll come looking for us. I found a cave that’s close to the water source and can shelter us. We’ll move over there and wait later.”

Su Xiaolu stirred the fire and added firewood.

Zhou Zhi nodded. “Alright.”

“Xiaolu, what did you call my brother before?”

Zhou Zhi asked. He realized that Su Xiaolu did not officially address him. Perhaps Su Xiaolu did not know how to address him either. The cold Wisdom King was not what he wanted.

“Third Brother.”

At home, Zhou Heng was also her relative. Zhou Heng was younger than Su Chong and Su Hua, so he called him Third Brother.

“Xiaolu, we’re friends now, right? Now that we’re in trouble together, we might have to stay here for a while. It’s not good for you to call me Wisdom King. Why don’t you call me Fourth Brother and treat me like your brother?”

Zhou Zhi smiled gently and asked Su Xiaolu if she was willing.

Su Xiaolu thought for a moment. She couldn’t bring herself to call him Wisdom King. She nodded. “Alright, I’ll call you Fourth Brother.”

Now that Zhou Zhi and Zhou Heng were getting along well and Zhou Zhi was Zhou Heng’s biological brother after all, it was fine to call him Fourth Brother.

Su Xiaolu agreed generously. She looked at Zhou Zhi and said to him, “Fourth Brother, we’ll move over in a while. You’re injured, so it’s good to recuperate in the cave. I can handle the small things like finding food. Is that okay, Fourth Brother?”

Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu. He felt that she was glowing. When she called him Fourth Brother, her tone seemed to be different.

Zhou Zhi nodded. “Okay.”

He agreed as if everything was how it was meant to be.

The roasted chicken was burnt. He watched as Su Xiaolu turned it to the side. He smiled slightly and reached out to help. He said softly, “Xiaolu, you can’t roast chicken like this. The fire here is too strong. It will burn.”

“I’ll do it,” he said again. Zhou Zhi turned the rack. Su Xiaolu had never been talented in handling food.

Su Xiaolu knew her shortcomings. She just had to be obedient.

Zhou Zhi took over roasting the chicken. When the roasted chicken was almost done, the two of them shared half of it and kept the other half.

The sh.e.l.ls they dug up were also cooked. There was not much meat and there was some sand, but it was still meat.

After eating, the two of them started moving.

Su Xiaolu squatted down. “Fourth Brother, come. I’ll carry you. It’s a little far from here. Between us siblings, we don’t have to care about those rules.”

Su Xiaolu knew that disabled people had their own dignity. If Zhou Zhi was the Wisdom King, she would not help him like this. But it was different now. He was her fourth brother.

There was no such thing as embarra.s.sment between siblings.

Su Xiaolu was frank. Zhou Zhi’s expression cracked for a moment. He took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, thank you, Xiaolu.”

Zhou Zhi climbed onto Su Xiaolu’s back. He was tense and stiff.

Su Xiaolu did not mind. She said to herself, “Fourth Brother, you’re not heavy at all. You’re not as heavy as the iron armor Master Gui You asked me and Big Brother to wear when we were practicing martial arts in the past.”

“You think so?”

Zhou Zhi was deep in thought.

Su Xiaolu nodded. “Yes, Master Gui You is very strict. I’m often beaten until I can’t get up. Although it’s hard, I’ve always liked it. In the past, when Big Brother and I were tired from practicing the sword, we would lie in the courtyard. In the winter, when it snowed, the snow would fall on our eyes.”

“At that time, my sister would bring food over and squat down to feed me.”

Su Xiaolu recalled the past and felt a little emotional. Those memories seemed to be yesterday, but from now on, those days would never come again.

Eldest Brother and Second Brother were married, and her sister was also married.

“I can picture it. Warm and beautiful.”

Zhou Zhi smiled lightly. When he heard this, he also felt very warm.

Su Xiaolu smelled good and made him feel at ease.

After a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the cave Su Xiaolu mentioned. The cave was big enough for four people to hide in. It was wide enough for him and Su Xiaolu.

Now, they just needed to clean up the cave, start a fire, and dry the cave.

After Su Xiaolu put Zhou Zhi down, she said, “Fourth Brother, clean up these weeds. I’ll get firewood.”

Zhou Zhi nodded.

Although the sun was out now, the weather at the seaside was unpredictable. They needed a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

He could not move freely and there was a limit to what he could do. Su Xiaolu’s arrangement was very good. She did not let him idle or let him do things that were difficult for him to do.

Zhou Zhi took out a dagger and handed it to Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, take it.”

Su Xiaolu took it and smiled. “Then I’ll go. Be careful.”

Su Xiaolu went to find firewood and cut some wet ones to bring back. She also collected some dry leaves.

At night, the two of them ate the remaining half of the pheasant and ate two medicinal pancakes. Su Xiaolu felt that they would be able to leave in three to four days, but after spending four days on the island, they only welcomed a storm.
