“It’s okay, she just asked me to go collect honey!”
Tang Chen smiled at her, looking at her foot and asking: “How’s your foot, feeling any better?”
“Yeah, much better…” Yang Mi blushed, remembering the scene just now: “Thanks, Captain, if it wasn’t for you, I’d probably have trouble even walking tomorrow!”
“It’s alright, we’ll change the dressing again tomorrow, it’ll be much better then!”
Tang Chen sized her up and told her: “You should rest well tonight, don’t worry about going honey hunting.”
“Yes, Captain!”
Yang Mi nodded obediently: “I’ll listen to you!”
After saying that, a different kind of smile appeared on her lips: “Captain, were you satisfied with my response to your concerns just now?
Please forgive my impoliteness, we’re on a deserted island right now, and I don’t have a phone, so this is the only way I can express my feelings!”
“Good, this method is very good!” Tang Chen chuckled, nodding at her and saying: “More of this kind of method in the future…”
“Hee hee…”
Yang Mi gave a playful smile, stood up and said: “Captain, I’m going back now, tomorrow… I’ll come to you to change the dressing again!”
“Okay!”
Tang Chen met her gaze, nodding at her.
With such a beautiful woman coming to him, who would be cruel enough to refuse?
After seeing Yang Mi slowly leave on her injured foot, Tang Chen began to prepare his equipment for tonight.
A mesh face mask is essential for honey hunting.
However, resources are scarce on a deserted island, so they can only use other things to replace them.
For example, the mesh face mask used to block bees can be replaced with the mosquito net from the tent.
The mosquito net is very fine, perfect for blocking bees from getting close.
All they need to do is wear protective gear, and pair it with their self-made smoke gun, they can collect honey smoothly.
Bees are most afraid of smoke.
If smoke is used to fumigate them, the bees will immediately lose their aggression.
Even if you collect honey right next to them, you won’t be attacked by the bees.
After packing up his things, Tang Chen went directly to the bonfire.
Besides Di Li Reba, Liu Shi Shi was also there, both of them were talking excitedly about something.
Upon seeing Tang Chen, they quickly got up from the ground.
“Captain, you’re here…”
“Shi Shi?” Tang Chen looked at Liu Shi Shi in front of him, questioning: “Why are you awake too?”
Liu Shi Shi smiled and explained: “Captain, I couldn’t sleep, so I wanted to come with you to collect honey!”
“You want to come too?” Tang Chen shrugged and told her: “This isn’t like catching coconut crabs, bees sting, you need to think carefully!”
“Captain, I’ve already thought about it!”
Liu Shi Shi smiled, her lips slightly pursed: “You and Reba are going to collect honey, right? I’ll be the logistics support, like… making tools and so on, just tell me if you need anything!”
“Logistics support?” Tang Chen chuckled, thoughtfully nodding: “You know what, we do lack a logistics support person!”
Before they go collect honey, they need to use the mosquito net to make protective masks.
And after they take the honeycomb back, they need someone to help them extract the honey.
Tang Chen will make a manual honey extractor later, and let Liu Shi Shi be responsible for extracting the honey.
“Really? That’s great…”
Liu Shi Shi was overjoyed upon hearing this: “Thank you, Captain, as long as I can act with you, I’m willing to do anything!”
“Alright, let’s make two suitable protective hats first!”
Tang Chen nodded, handing the mosquito net in his hand to her.
They have nothing on the island, so they need to make do with what they have.
For example, the hats for the protective masks need to be cut from banana leaves.
The banana leaves in Madagascar are strong and flexible, making them great DIY materials.
Tang Chen cut the banana leaves into suitable shapes according to his and Reba’s size.
Then Liu Shi Shi and Reba sewed the mosquito net onto them.
Amidst laughter and chatter, two protective masks were finished.
“Wow, Captain, this protective mask feels so safe!”
Di Li Reba couldn’t put down the protective mask in her hand, her face filled with excitement: “With this, we don’t have to worry about being stung by bees…”
“Not enough!” As Reba’s words faded, Tang Chen spoke: “Besides this, we still need to make a smoke gun!”
“Huh? A smoke gun?”
Liu Shi Shi and Reba were both stunned after hearing Tang Chen’s words.
“That’s right!” Tang Chen nodded: “Bees are most afraid of smoke! Whenever they encounter thick smoke, their desire to attack becomes very low!”
He paused, then continued: “So, with a smoke gun, we’ll have enough time to collect the honey!”
“A smoke gun is that important? We have to make one!”
Reba and Liu Shi Shi looked at each other, and they spoke in unison: “Captain, what materials do we need to make a smoke gun? We’ll go find them right now!”
“No need, I’ve already found it!” Tang Chen chuckled, picked up a bamboo tube from the side, and said to them: “Guess what this is?”
“Huh? This is?”
