806.Building Shelter (Part 1)

She received it and the two of them happily had a meal of raw shellfish.

Right after, Lisa began collecting large leaves, vines and branches to build a shelter for them.

As he was building it by hand, his progress was extremely slow.

The only knife which they had needed to be kept for slicing food. He did not wish to use it on the vines in case it turned blunt.

Jennie wanted to help. However, Lisa did not allow her and she could only watch from the side.

After discussing it, they decide to build their shelter next to a hill near the beach. It was only slightly taller than them and was suitable for blocking off the wind.

There was a large, empty land before the hill and was suitable for constructing a shelter.

Lisa tied the branches up with vines and began building a large roof. Every so often, he would add large leaves and grass onto it.

Four thin and dried up tree trunks were used as poles to hold the roof above the ground. He dug them into the ground firmly.

He moved a large rock over and stood on it to attach vines onto the top of the tree trunks.

Next, he began adding tree branches to make the entire structure stronger...

Jennie watched him for a while before she left to look for food.

Lisa instructed her to avoid walking too deep into the forest in case she met with danger.

She agreed to this and only planned to stroll around the area. After heading around three hundred meters into the forest, the forest became much thicker and there were many more mosquitoes.

Her shoes had already fallen off when they had been drifting. She truly could not make it far with her bare feet.

After a few hundred meters, her feet were already scratched by the ground.

She scanned her surroundings and did not find a single fruit. It seemed like there were no hopes of eating any fruit.

However, it had already been eleven days since they had any fruits or vegetables. If they did not eat something nutritious, they would quickly fall ill.

Vegetables and fruits were the best options.

She scanned the thick vines....

All of a sudden, she felt that this was also a good option.

She squatted down and began to dig for the plant roots.

As it was too difficult to dig with her hands, she searched for a large rock to use. She uncovered a large amount of grass roots and saw that they were plump with moisture. She patted away the dirt and began to nibble on the roots.

They tasted clean and sweet... they were delicious!

The grass roots were also a form of vegetable. At the very least, it would provide them with some nutrients.

She nibbled on enough to get full before digging another pile out for Lisa.

However, there wasn't anything she could use to carry the grass roots.

Lisa normally wore his shirt and only took it off when they needed to carry something.

She saw that bamboo of various sizes were growing by the side and decided she would weave a bamboo basket.

She broke off as many thin bamboos as she could and tied them up with a rattan string. She then carried it back to Lisa and tossed them next to the shelter he was building.

She saw that Lisa was shirtless as he used the vines to strengthen the structure.

His features were stern and he had a set of sharp brows and bright eyes. Accompanied with his sharp nose and thin lips, his charisma was through the roof.

As he busied himself beneath the sunlight, his back was dripping with sweat and his muscles were taut with the strength he was using. His waist was thin and his arms were thick. He appeared as masculine and charming as a leopard. Every movement he made was filled with strength.

He was truly, unbelievably seductive!

Jennie watched him fixatedly and swallowed her saliva subconsciously.

As though sensing her gaze, Lisa's sharp eyes shifted onto her. He saw her slender figure beneath the sunlight and realized that her cheeks were bright red. Her expression also appeared especially love struck..
