Awakening

Akira Hiroshi remembered the light from the campfire this morning, and then saw Lei Yin’s playful eyes. He can’t help but feel a bit idiot.

“The food problem is solved, the only thing to consider is how to get enough clean water. How about this, you are responsible for picking up enough shellfish for five people to eat, and I will go look for the water.”

“Very well.”

If this was only him and Amy, he could just use the seawater evaporation to get enough fresh water for two people to drink. But now, with the elderly couple, as well as Akira Hiroshi, they have a total of five people in their group. Using this method to collect fresh water was too slow, so he had to find other sources of fresh water. This place is an island and not a dessert, so looking for water should not be too difficult.

After shaking Amy to wake her up, he said to her: “Kid, I am going to find you fresh water to drink. Wait here until I come back. Remember, don’t walk away, understand?”.

The little girl hurriedly pulled his hand, “Lei, I want to go with you.”

“No, there are a lot of bugs in the woods, aren’t you afraid?”

Hearing that there were many bugs in the woods, the little girl showed a frightened eye.

Lei Yin continued to say: “You wait here for me, I will be back soon. And remember, don’t walk away, you know?”

“Em.” The little girl finally nodded her head.

After gently patting her little face, Lei Yin picked up the pot-like signal receiver that he took down from the boat. This receiver was mounted on the top of the roof to receive TV signals. He swam back to the boat last night just to take this stuff. He was going to use this to get fresh water from seawater evaporation, but now it will just be used as a water container.

On the beach, there were a lot of shellfish. Three hours later, Akira Hiroshi has picked a lot of scallops, as well as oysters, enough for six or seven people to eat. He took off his t-shirt and put all of these together in it, and then he brought them to Lei Yin’s campfire.

When he arrived, he did not see Lei Yin. There were only the cute little girl and the foreign old couple.

After putting that pile of shellfish near the campfire, he said to the little girl: “Your brother is not back yet?”

Seeing the little girl did not answer him, he remembered that she could not understand Japanese.

He turned around to see that old couple and saw that they were unblinkingly looked at the shellfish on the ground.

Akira Hiroshi knew that they were hungry. Actually, so was he. Therefore, he immediately put those shellfish by the campfire one by one to roast them.

After ten minutes, under the high temperature, the scallops and oysters slowly opened their mouth, revealing the meat that was beginning to cooked. Akira Hiroshi constantly heard the calling from his hungry stomach. The elderly couple had the same expression as him, all wanted to immediately pick them up to eat.

A few minutes later, Akira Hiroshi thought that they should be ready. Therefore, picked up the biggest scallop with a twig, and then, after it slightly cooled, he delicately took the meat inside using a fine tree branch and hastily put it into his mouth.

Seeing his expression, the elderly couple also bluntly copy his method and picked up the meat to put it into their mouths.

Seeing the three people eating while constantly fanning with their hands to cool down the meat, the little girl could not help but laugh.

Akira Hiroshi handed her the already opened scallop. But the little shook her head and did not accept it.

Thinking that she has yet to know how to eat, Akira Hiroshi personally demonstrated it again to her. He then offered another scallop for her, but the little girl still shook her head.

The expression of the first year law student was confused. Seeing her expression, he knew that she understood how to eat the scallop, but why won’t she eat?

That foreign woman also found it strange. So she asked her why.

Hearing the answer from Amy, the woman was very touched. It turned out that the little girl wanted to wait for Lei Yin to come back and then eat it together with him.

Looking at her serious little face, the woman’s motherhood instinct could not help but flare up, so she tightly hugged her in her bosom.

Seeing the foreign woman burst into tears as she hugged the little girl, Akira Hiroshi was confused. Do all foreigners act strangely like this?

But there was no time for him to think because his stomach has called up again, so he immediately picked up an oyster and continued to eat.

At this moment, a burst of messy footsteps suddenly came from the woods.

Someone’s coming? Akira Hiroshi immediately stood up and tried to see.

Not long after, he saw a lot of people came out of the woods. They were the students who went to look for people.

Compared to when they started in the morning, they seemed more frail and weak. Some of them even leaned against the tree trunk, struggling to walk.

Seeing their look, Akira Hiroshi knew that they failed to find what they were looking for. However, when they left in the morning till now, the time was not that long. Therefore, they should not go too far. The reason for why they came this early probably because they cannot endure the heat.

The several boys walking in the front saw Akira Hiroshi, but soon, all their eyes were focused on the foreign couple who were eating scallops.

“Bastard, you’re actually eating in hiding here.” The lead student loudly roared and ran toward them.

Several other equally hungry boys also rushed over to them.

Seeing the boys’ angry appearance, Akira Hiroshi knew that they have misunderstood. Therefore, he loudly said: “Don’t misunderstand, these scallops....” But before he finished speaking, a student punched him to the ground.

“Beast, you actually kept these foods for yourself.” Influenced by hunger, the lead student, who has lost his ability to think, grabbed Akira Hiroshi by the neck.

At this time, several other male students rushed to the campfire to grab those scallops.

But because the shells were very hot, they immediately screamed and threw those scallops on the ground.

By this time, the people coming out from the woods also knew that there were foods at the front, therefore, they all came running.

For a time, this group of students from a well-known University in Tokyo was like a mob, constantly pushed and shoved each other to pick the shellfish from the ground. The scene suddenly became extremely confusing.

In this ‘constant pushing’ situation, that elderly foreign couple was shoved to the ground.

Amy had never seen such a crazy scene, and cried in fear.

But by this time, no one noticed the crying little girl, everyone has been caught in a crazy battle for food
