However, as it had taken them ten days before they previously found land, it was possible that their journey on a wooden raft would take just as long.

If they were unlucky, they could even be separated by the rough water and be left adrift once more.

Thus, they discussed with each other and decided that it was likely that the corpse they found had been an inhabitant on this island when he had been alive.

In other words, there had to be other inhabitants on this island.

Furthermore, the corpse was dressed in modern clothes. He had to be part of modern society.

This island was especially large. Even when she stood from a height, she could only see the thick forest and not beyond it.

They concluded that this island was separated into two parts. Their side of the island was not inhabitable due to the poisonous mist. Thus, it was not suitable for anyone to live on it.

Perhaps, things would be different on the other end?

Fang Xinxin could not help but imagine if there was a newly developed resort on the other side of the island.

However, with the sheer number of venomous snakes they had encountered, it was unlikely anyone would think of building a resort here. They could easily lose their lives.

In any case, the thought that they were about to head to a place inhabited by people meant that they would find a boat to leave the island.

This made her very excited.

Bai Qinghao began chopping wood and searching for thick vines to bind them together. He needed to ensure that the raft would be sturdy, hence he made sure to look for trees that were as thick as his arm. He also used the strongest vines he could find.

This took up a lot of energy.

He worked hard by the side. Each time he lowered his head, he would see the straw slippers which his wife had made. The sight of them always left his heart feeling warm.

The wooden raft was completed in three days.

They could not wait any longer. They hurriedly placed all their food reserves into a basket and did not forget to bring their first aid kit as well as the only life jacket they had with them.

The raft was around three square meters wide. It was filled up with their items.

Bai Qinghao even brought the natural ‘wok’ they used to cook with, insisting that he would keep it as a souvenir.

Fang Xinxin sat on the wooden raft while Bai Qinghao stood half-submerged in the ocean as he pushed the raft deeper into the waters.

When the water came up to his waist, he climbed onto the raft and used a large oar he had made with the hatchet to move them forward.

It was around 8:00 in the morning.

Fang Xinxin stood on the raft and glanced at the island. She watched as the island got further and further away from them. The bright sun cast a golden light on the land and left the sand on the beach sparkling dazzlingly. She looked further ahead and saw their shed located right before the thick forest. The sight appeared just like a paradise. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Qinghao stood by her side as he glanced at her beautiful features.

“I suddenly feel like I’ll miss this place a little.” she pursed her lips lightly.

He opened his firm arms and embraced her, speaking in heartache. “If you like it here, we can stay for a few more days.”

“No.” She shook her head. “Our family must be going mad with worry. It’s better that we hurry home.”

Although they had intentionally avoided talking about their family, they were both worried about them.

Speaking more about the matter would only worsen their misery.

They could only keep their worries in their heart.

He nodded lightly and guided the raft to move along the outskirts of the island.

However, the ocean waves appeared to be moving against their intended direction. He guided the boat alone and their progress was very slow.

At times, they would travel thirty meters with much difficulty only to be pushed right back.

When Fang Xinxin saw this, she could not help but reach for the other oar to help him..
