I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 397: Pheasant Nest

Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Pheasant Nest

Ye Chen went out to gather some branches and then lit a fire to fend off the chill on his body.

"Ye Chen, should we look for something else to eat?"

Lin Xiaoxi voiced her concern.

After all, they had been there for a month, and they hadn’t brought anything with them, with only a bottle of water on them.

"It’s okay, this island is so big, we’re bound to find food one day!"

"Just rest easy, leave the rest to me!"

Ye Chen said with a smile.

They had already been searching for a day without any findings, to continue would be a fruitless effort.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxi said no more, burying her head in Ye Chen’s chest to enjoy the rare tranquility, and gradually drifting into sleep.

Ye Chen also closed his eyes and soon entered dreamland.

Unaware, the two of them slept until dawn.

As soon as daylight broke, Ye Chen immediately opened his eyes.

He got up, looked at Lin Xiaoxi sleeping soundly beside him, frowned slightly, wondering if the girl had worn herself out.

Ye Chen walked over, touched Lin Xiaoxi’s forehead with his hand, and finding no fever, felt somewhat relieved.

"Hmm..."

Lin Xiaoxi hummed softly and slowly woke up.

"Right, did Liu Yuting and the others find their way here?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "No, they might have gone elsewhere. Don’t worry, the program divides us into groups, and now we two are a group."

"You rest in the cave; I’ll go out to look for supplies and food."

After saying that, Ye Chen walked out of the cave.

He casually took a tree branch as a walking stick, which saved some effort while walking.

Strolling along the beach, he kept searching, hoping to find something to take back.

With this thought in mind, Ye Chen soon found a suitcase.

Finding a suitcase in such a place was quite a surprise to Ye Chen.

Then, he hurriedly hooked the suitcase closer with the tree branch.

Clearly, the case had been soaked in seawater for a long time and showed signs of rot.

Therefore, Ye Chen easily broke open the locked case.

"Wow, there are clothes!"

Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised to find a particularly large plastic package inside the suitcase, which contained several outfits, both men’s and women’s.

On this deserted island, surviving with clothing was not allowed.

So changing into fresh clothes was a problem.

Now with these clothes, they’ve perfectly solved this major challenge.

With this find, Ye Chen became even more excited and continued to search on the beach.

Unfortunately, after more than an hour, besides the suitcase, Ye Chen didn’t find anything else.

"Hey, what’s this?"

Suddenly, just as Ye Chen was about to give up, he spotted some metal scraps.

These metal scraps had also been soaked in seawater for a long time and were rusted.

"Better take them, might come in handy."

After picking up the metal scraps, Ye Chen continued onwards.

Soon, he found a coconut tree.

"Hehe, good thing I can climb trees."

Ye Chen warmed up his body and hugged the coconut tree, climbing up it quickly and reaching the top in no time.

"In about twenty minutes, he managed to get down more than ten coconuts."

On the Deserted Island, clothing and food were the most important supplies.

Now that he had clothes and coconuts as food, one could say that their life would be much better for the coming days.

After that, he took the clothes and coconuts back to the cave.

"Look what I’ve brought back!"

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoxi, Ye Chen said happily to her.

Hearing the sound, Lin Xiaoxi came over and, upon seeing the clothes and coconuts, was also very surprised.

After eating their fill, Ye Chen and Lin Xiaoxi began to rest.

Being on a deserted island, there were no entertainment facilities, so they both lay there quietly, not speaking.

Soon, night fell.

...

Perhaps having adapted to the environment here, both of them slept soundly.

On the second day, it wasn’t until the sun was high in the sky that Ye Chen woke up.

Compared to the beginning, being able to sleep until naturally waking up was a form of bliss.

Seeing that Ye Chen had woken up, Lin Xiaoxi came over, holding her slightly hungry stomach, and said, "Ye Chen, what are we eating today? Are we still eating fish and coconuts?"

"That’s the only option we have, hang in there. This place is just like that," Ye Chen consoled.

He knew these young ladies were all well-known singers, and though they weren’t considered big stars, they were people who had never worried about clothing or food.

In their previous lives, they probably never ate the same meal twice in a day.

Now having suddenly come to this kind of place was indeed a huge ordeal for them.

Looking at Lin Xiaoxi, who seemed a bit aggrieved, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Alright, today we’ll go to the other side of the hillside to see if we can find some new food."

"These past couple of days of eating fish and drinking coconut juice is indeed a bit miserable."

"Amazing!" Hearing what Ye Chen said, Lin Xiaoxi jumped up, "Then I’ll come with you, to have someone to watch out for each other."

"No need." Ye Chen thought for a moment; taking her with him might not be much help, and in fact, she could become a burden.

So Ye Chen told Lin Xiaoxi to wait for him in the cave, while he took his metal shard and left.

Soon, he arrived at the other side of the hill.

He was in a forest, and as Ye Chen walked along, searching, he thought that there must be plenty of food on such a large deserted island.

If he searched carefully, he would definitely find something.

Walking through the woods, Ye Chen was like a patient hunter looking for his prey.

Being a fisherman by trade, he had the patience, and he wouldn’t grow irritated just because he hadn’t found anything for a while.

After walking around three to four hundred meters, suddenly Ye Chen heard some noises ahead.

He quickly crouched down, using the bushes to conceal his figure.

Peering through the foliage, he saw not far in front of him several birds that resembled hill chickens foraging for food.

Ye Chen was overjoyed.

This was the first time he had seen mountain chickens on the deserted island, and if there were mountain chickens, then there must be nests nearby, and perhaps he could even find some chicken eggs.

Thinking this, Ye Chen stealthily moved forward.

It didn’t take long for Ye Chen to discover a well-hidden nest, neatly filled with a dozen eggs.

"Fantastic!"

Ye Chen couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.

Then, using the plastic bag he had prepared beforehand, he carefully placed the eggs into it one by one.

When Lin Xiaoxi sees the eggs later, she will probably be so happy that she cries.

These past few days, she hadn’t had a proper meal. Once he cooked her an egg, she would probably be thrilled to death.

In five minutes, Ye Chen had emptied the nest of its eggs.

With the bag in hand, he retreated.

He initially thought to return, but then reconsidered; he had just come out and it was still early, so why not continue exploring. He might find even more.
