  One could fall sick without consuming sufficient salt. Thankfully, the ocean was a treasure trove and it was more than easy to obtain some salt.

  If she had enough time, she would make a salt field. She could obtain as much salt as she wanted from the ocean.

  However, neither of them planned on remaining on this island for too long.

  At the moment, they were only intending to recover their minds and bodies here.

  She arranged the fish to dry on a piece of rock, while Bai Qinghao finished hanging the sea snakes up on the rack. He placed all the skin aside and headed afar to dig a hole.

  She watched as Bai Qinghao left the rack aside and headed near the beach to dig a hole with a thick tree branch.

  Fang Xinxin immediately understood that he was trying to obtain some salt.

  She wanted to help him. However, the sun was extremely bright and she did not wish to be tanned even more. It was easy to make a salt field and it was more than enough for him to handle it alone.

  She was exhausted from killing all the sea snakes earlier. Thus, she rested in the shed.

  The sand was very soft. In around two hours, he had dug a salt field around the size of five square meters.

  The ocean’s waves were powerful. They crashed against the sand and gradually filled up the salt field he had dug. The waves receded into the ocean soon.

  In this manner, the salt field was filled up with seawater.

  Once the sunlight dried up the moisture in the salt field, they would obtain the rough sea salt.

  However, it would take time for the sea water to dry up.

  The salt field wasn’t too deep. The sunlight was also very bright. Perhaps they would be able to obtain salt in a day’s time.

  Bai Qinghao returned to see his wife standing by the shed. She was watching him.

  He smiled gently.

  Fang Xinxin saw that he was covered in sweat. When he approached, she realized that he smelled strongly of the sea snake’s fishy scent.

  Although she had layered the basket with leaves, it also smelled extremely fishy at the moment.

  However, they did not have any pure water they could use to shower with.

  As evening approached and the sun began to set, Fang Xinxin and Bai Qinghao headed to the shallow waters to wash up.

  They could feel the sea salt remaining on their skin after. This wasn’t good for their skin.

  However, it hadn’t been easy for them to collect dew water. They only had enough to drink and could not use it to shower.

  They could not bear to even use a little to wipe themselves down.

  They also soaked the basket and his shirt in the ocean to remove the fishy scent.

  A while later, they retrieved the basket and opened up his shirt. They scrubbed it well before bringing it back to the shed.

  The temperature was starting to drop again. It was always especially cold at night.

  They placed the half-dried fish and sea snakes in the basket and brought it back to the shed with them.

  They weren’t afraid of the cold anymore. Bai Qinghao had collected enough firefood to last them days.

  The two of them sat by the fire. They had built a rack next to the fire and hung up all the sea snake meat so that it could slowly dry up from the heat of the fire.

  The fish were also arranged on top of leaves on the ground. Soon, the moisture would evaporate and they would become preserved dried fishes that could last them for a while.

  In the evening, Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin did not have anything to do besides occasionally adding some wood to the fire.

  Although the day had tired them out, Bai Qinghao was still full of energy.

  He felt that they could perhaps do something before sleeping.

  Bai Qinghao’s gaze shifted onto Fang Xinxin. She had grown much thinner. Still, her figure was curvaceous and attractive. Her shirt was now sleeveless and her thin arms were showing. The tan gave her a beautiful, healthy look and it left his heart aching dearly.

  Despite her sun darkened skin, she remained as charming as ever to him.
