In my previous life, I was the特种兵王 (Special Forces King) of a chaotic era, but in this life, I am just an ordinary security guard in a peaceful world.
I thought I could finally enjoy this pea...
Soon, the aroma of venison wafted out of the cave. It was the smell of venison fat, which was particularly appealing to the sense of smell and stimulated the sense of taste.
"Grill it well, be careful of parasites," Lu Wuyai reminded him.
"I know, don't worry, but I'm afraid the meat will be too tough if it's cooked too well." Su Xi felt quite regretful.
"That's better than death."
When you're on a deserted island and there's no medicine, you have to be extra careful when eating and drinking.
For example, Song Xiaoyou's diarrhea might have been caused by drinking water. Because the stream water wasn't boiled, the bacteria in it could cause problems.
It's always good to be cautious. Only by staying focused can you turn danger into safety.
Soon, the venison began to turn black, and the hot blood continued to evaporate.
After a while, Lu Wuyai took out a sharp piece of airplane debris, cut the venison slightly to make sure the meat inside was fully cooked. He then added some coarse salt and handed it to the hungry Song Xiaoyou.
The venison must be roasted well; only in this way can some trouble be avoided.
Song Xiaoyou ate two whole pieces. She had been really hungry these past few days, but her introverted nature and patience allowed her to endure it without showing any abnormality.
After eating, Song Xiaoyou felt much better.
Lu Wuyai and Su Xi each ate a piece. The roasted venison didn't taste very good, but they still ate it to fill their stomachs.
“Tell me, what will happen to the survivors on the desert island?” Su Xi suddenly asked.
Lu Wuyai glanced at her and understood that she was referring to the group of Bangzi people who had just arrived on the deserted island that afternoon.
"Otherwise, how can I live? I should try to live." Lu Wuyai chuckled, but in his heart he was thinking that they would soon realize that they could no longer contact the outside world, and the darkness in their hearts would slowly overflow until they completely twisted their humanity.
This also made Lu Wuyai feel a sense of threat.
After a hearty meal and boiling some stream water, Lu Wuyai noticed the bucket was almost half empty and realized that he would have to go to Shishan to fetch water tomorrow, or at the latest the day after.
Song Xiaoyou quickly fell asleep again, snoring softly, and the campfire gradually died down over time.
Darkness enveloped the cave once more.
The next morning, Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi in his arms and felt a delicate yet surging power covering his palm. Lu Wuyai had an urge to transform into an animal.
When I woke up in the morning, my desires seemed particularly strong.
Lu Wuyai gently climbed out of Su Xi's arms, feeling the embarrassment in his lower body and a deep-seated unease that he couldn't express.
I'm unhappy, very unhappy.
"You're awake." Su Xi felt a chill, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked at Lu Wuyai.
But when she noticed the spots on Lu Wuyai's pants, her face instantly turned red.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and exhaled for a long time before saying, "Okay, I'll go get some water and be back before noon."
After speaking, Lu Wuyai left with the bucket. Song Xiaoyou was still very weak and unable to travel long distances in a short time. The only way to get the fresh water he needed each day was to go to the stone sphere.
At 9:30, Lu Wuyai was fetching water from downstream and was about to leave when a commotion suddenly came from the east side of the rocky mountain.
Lu Wuyai thought for a while, placed the bucket in the nearby bushes, covered it with branches, and then climbed up the pile of stones. To his surprise, the people who appeared beneath the stone mound were the same group from Bangzi Kingdom who had arrived the day before.
“They are really lucky,” Lu Jian sighed.
On their first day on the deserted island, the group found a water source. This was a godsend.
Moreover, this group ate a lot of food, including bread, chocolate, and plenty of dried noodles. Lu Wuyai even spotted an iron pot in the crowd. That thing was incredibly useful.
Yesterday, Lu Wuyai only glanced at them before leaving. He truly hadn't realized how abundant their supplies were.
"What happened to them?" Lu Wuyai was very curious, but had to give up due to the language barrier.
Suddenly, someone looked towards the direction of the rocky mountain. Lu Wuyai was terrified and immediately crouched down. After a long time, he started peeking again.
Fortunately, no one noticed him; the group of people on the east side of the stone mountain were still chatting.
"This is only the first day." Lu Wuyai shook his head and noticed that the women in South Korea all looked like goddesses, each with a different temperament.
However, Lu Wuyai only sighed, knowing that soon these women would become the open targets of men's abduction.
This group of people, just like they were back then, will have their humanity turn into demons, invading their minds, controlling their behavior, and eventually completely devouring them.
Before leaving the rocky mountain, Lu Wuyai counted the number of people on the opposite shore; there were still eighteen. This meant that from yesterday until now, this group might not have encountered the bloody side of the deserted island yet.
Before noon, Lu Wuyai returned to the cave and saw Su Xi and Song Xiaoyou hanging out laundry.
Just as Su Xi and the others left after their fruitless search, a lot of clothing-related items suddenly appeared.
Even so, Su Xi still liked to wear denim shorts with a white shirt on top. Perhaps such a combination easily stirred up the evil thoughts deep within a man's heart.
As for Song Xiaoyou, after several days of diarrhea, today is the day she has the most energy.
Her long, white legs reflected a mesmerizing glow in the sunlight.
After lunch, Song Xiaoyou went to take a nap.
Seeing that Song Xiaoyou had completely entered the cave, Su Xi suddenly grabbed Lu Wuyai and arrogantly pushed him to the ground.
Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi, who was lying on the ground. At first, he thought there was some bloody scene involved.
As a result, Su Xi tripped over a tree root and accidentally dropped Lu Wuyai to the ground.
Lying on the ground, looking at the delicate body in his arms, Lu Wuyai felt a little nervous, especially when he raised his head and saw that Su Xi's collar was wide open, causing Lu Wuyai to feel that he was bleeding from his nose.
Fortunately, Su Xi stood up quickly. Lu Wuyai thought to himself that life on this deserted island was indeed exciting enough for him.
Su Xi blushed. She found that she easily became shy whenever she was with Lu Wuyai. This wouldn't happen if they were together.
After experiencing the darkness of the deserted island, life is now like paradise for Su Xi.
Without Su Xi and the others, Su Xi felt it was easier for her to enter Lu Wuyai's heart.
Thinking of this, Su Xi glanced again at a rock near the cave entrance, where a cell phone was buried. To this day, she hardly remembers it.
“Liu Gongming, he should be dead by now,” Tang Xin murmured, a hidden murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
For Su Xi, the time she spent with Liu Gongming was initially purely for the sake of gaining support for surviving on the deserted island. It wasn't until she gave up her most precious possession that she realized that some things are only truly cherished once they are lost.
Lu Wuyai turned around and looked at Su Xi, who was deep in thought, and said, "Let's hurry up and go, it'll get hot soon."
Su Xi nodded, looking at Lu Wuyai's impatient face, she felt inexplicably happy.
They took their axes and went to the nearby forest to chop firewood. First, they were preparing for a bonfire party. Second, they were familiar with the surrounding forest, so they could plan ahead should any unexpected situations arise.
The rescue team arrived three times, but failed each time, which almost made Lu Wuyai give up the idea of leaving the deserted island.
Since you're going to be staying on a deserted island for a long time, you must have a fairly detailed understanding of it.
The cave is too obvious today. Even with the entrance narrowed, the scene surrounded by rocks easily attracts the prying eyes of other survivors.
The best solution is to find a new cave or a place to camp.
As for the fate of Su Xi and the others, Lu Wuyai and his group had no way to continue searching. After all, wandering aimlessly through the forest like headless flies was destined to be an extremely dangerous thing.
Furthermore, since they hadn't seen a body at first, Lu Wuyai always felt that the other person was still alive, but hadn't immediately joined their ranks due to some special circumstances.
"Lu Wuyai, are these trees made of wood that has aphrodisiac properties?" Su Xi asked, blushing, pointing to a row of dark red thorn trees in front of her.
Although she really wanted to give herself to Lu Wuyai now, she still couldn't help feeling a little shy when she thought about what happened back then.
Lu Wuyai gave her a strange look. She had blatantly seduced him before, but now this woman could blush.
However, Lu Wuyai noticed the redwood across the way. He had noticed it before. There was a lot of redwood nearby. This kind of thing was perfect for inciting others.
Lu Wuyai cut some redwood branches, wrapped them up, and left them in the forest. He then continued walking through the forest with Su Xi.
As dusk fell, the two returned to the cave and found Song Xiaoyou awake and in high spirits. He was even playing in the mud at the cave entrance and had built a stone platform nearby. It seemed he was preparing to bake bread again. (Earthenware pot)
"How are you feeling?" Su Xi walked over and asked Song Xiaoyou.
Song Xiaoyou looked up and saw Lu Wuyai and Su Xi, a slight smile appearing on her face.
"Drink some water. Those who are sick shouldn't work too hard." Lu Wuyai poured a cup of cold water from the earthenware pot. Song Xiaoyou reached out to take it, but Lu Wuyai drank it himself.
Su Xi rolled her eyes at him and poured Song Xiaoyou another drink.
As a result, Song Xiaoyou took a sip in one go, leaving Lu Wuyai and Tang Xin dumbfounded.
“You drink like a cow.” Lu Wuyai glanced at Song Xiaoyou’s chest. It seemed he shouldn’t underestimate it.
"I... I still want to." Song Xiaoyou lowered his head, a little embarrassed. His naive attitude was unbearable.
Lu Wuyai shook his head and went to carry the bundled firewood he had prepared that day, while Su Xi stayed behind to take care of Song Xiaoyou.
Before nightfall, Lu Wuyai checked the traps he had set that day and was surprised to find two cat-like beasts hanging in the air by nooses. He felt extremely pleased with himself.
However, cat meat wasn't very tasty; it was rather lewd. Lu Wuyai thought for a while, then skinned the dead cat and rearranged several traps using the scraps of internal organs.
There are many carnivores in this forest.
Lu Wuyai hoped that more animals would appear tomorrow.
When he returned to the cave, it was completely dark. The cave was covered by a blanket of heat, making it difficult to detect light. On the cave ceiling, Lu Wuyai poked a few more ventilation holes, where the smoke from the campfire could dissipate.
Caves shrouded in darkness are much harder to spot than during the day.
Upon entering the cave, Lu Wuyai discovered that Su Xi was already asleep, while Song Xiaoyou was still boiling water. Her clear eyes, untouched by dust, radiated a pure and beautiful aura, like two lotus flowers.
“You should rest too. I’ll go boil some water,” Lu Wuyai said.
As a result, Song Xiaoyou shook his head and said that he had slept all afternoon but couldn't fall asleep at all.
Lu Wuyai sighed. He couldn't sleep either. The wound on his back was very itchy, probably because he hadn't rested properly these past few days.
So Lu Wuyai lay on the ground, the fire in the stove not far away flickering, and a faint minty scent filled the air.
Mint, a plant often found on desert islands, has become a natural aromatic agent for eliminating body odor, and is also Song Xiaoyou's favorite plant.
At that moment, the method of making soap flashed through Lu Wuyai's mind. This knowledge, which he had been exposed to in high school, now surged forth one by one.
"The hide oil from the three wild deer is still lost in the forest. This stuff is animal fat. I'll get some wood ash and mix it with pine resin. It not only purifies the body but also has antibacterial properties."
"Adding a little mint would make it feel wonderfully refreshing."
Lu Wuyai grew increasingly excited as he thought about it. During this time, his body had become filthy. Even though he washed with water every day, he couldn't change the situation.
If we could actually make soap, it would be a huge help in our survival on a desert island.
With his eyes closed, Lu Wuyai went through the soap-making process, occasionally asking the brilliant student Song Xiaoyou for advice.
"Make soap." Song Xiaoyou's eyes widened, and for the first time, his tone rose slightly, sounding somewhat excited.
Lu Wuyai smiled and nodded, secretly thinking that making soap should be possible, since they did not lack the materials or utensils for it.
As they waited in anticipation, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou gradually drifted off to sleep.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, Su Xi watched Lu Wuyai walk out of the cave with an excited expression, and then realized that he actually wanted to make soap.
"Really?" Su Xi was also a little excited, but quickly became worried: "Will it succeed?"
Su Xi felt that soap was a bit too high-end for a deserted island.
"It should be possible." Song Xiaoyou sat at the cave entrance, her mind replaying the scenes from last night when she discussed soap making with Lu Wuyai.
For some reason, just thinking about the scene of the two of them discussing by the campfire made Song Xiaoyou's face inexplicably turn red.
Su Xi glanced at her and felt something was off.
Not long after, Lu Wuyai emerged from the forest, carrying several intact deer hides in his hands. He finally felt relieved.
The deer hide, which had been left in the forest for the past few days, had not been eaten by any other animals, and the oil on it had been preserved very well.
Back at the foot of the mountain, Lu Wuyai immediately used tools to carefully scrape off the grease from the deer hide.
At this point, Song Xiaoyou and Su Xi also got busy.
First, they found a pine tree in the forest. Using Professor Lu Wuyai's method, they cut the bark into a V-shape. Then they hung a plastic bag underneath and waited for the resin to drip down. The whole process was destined to happen. Quite slowly.
Back in the cave, they began to build a stove with stones, preparing to make soap.
Lu Wuyai scraped the grease off the three deer hides. Unfortunately, perhaps because these wild deer roamed the forest year-round, they had very little body fat. Even when full, they could only fill a small earthenware jar.
"What should we do next?" Su Xi asked.
Song Xiaoyou explained, "The main components of soap are oil and alkali. Nowadays, animal fats only lack alkali."
"Wood ash contains alkaline components, and the ash from burning wood should be usable."
After listening to Song Xiaoyou's explanation, Su Xi quickly understood the entire process of soap making and was eager to try it herself.
"Go get some plant ash first." Lu Wuyai clapped his hands, stood up, and went to look for firewood in the forest.
In fact, there was a lot of campfire ash in the cave, but some impurities that dripped from the previous barbecue had mixed in, which would affect the soap making to some extent.
In addition, collecting rosin takes time. During this time, they can use some cleaner ash.
Soon, a bonfire slowly rose outside the cave.
To ensure that the soaps made were neat and clean, Lu Wuyai tried to use the same type of wood when burning the ashes.
An hour later, when the fire was extinguished, there was a pile of slightly black ash on the ground.
Here, Song Xiaoyou carefully transferred the ashes to a larger ceramic jar, then poured in water and stirred it to ensure the ashes were in contact with water as much as possible.
After the ashes had been submerged for some time, Lu Wuyai said something to Tang Xin, and Tang Xin's face immediately turned red.
Su Xi rolled her eyes and finally headed towards the cave.
When she came out, Su Xi was holding a pair of black stockings and handed them to Lu Wuyai.
"It feels pretty good," Lu Wuyai muttered to himself as he touched the stockings.
Su Xi immediately retorted, "Sexual embryo. You have the desire but not the courage."
Lu Wuyai touched his nose, and seeing Su Xi's beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but lick his dry lips.
However, he quickly calmed down, placed the stockings on a larger earthenware jar, and then filtered the water, which had been soaked in ash, through the stockings several times to ensure there were no impurities.
After completing this step, the preparations for making soap are basically finished.
"I'll go check on the rosin." After saying that, Su Xi pulled Song Xiaoyou out of the cave.
About an hour later, Tang Xin and Song Xiaoyou returned with a small bag of rosin.
Although the quantity is small, the function of rosin is limited to antibacterial purposes, and its impact on soap making is negligible.
In addition, Song Xiaoyou also prepared some mint leaves, crushed them, and used a nylon stocking to extract some clean mint juice, which she planned to add after the soap had solidified.
On the stone platform, the filtered ash water was being heated, and Lu Wuyai poured in the scraped wild deer oil.
For the next while, the three men kept their eyes fixed on the boiling earthenware pot. After it boiled a second time, they simmered it over the fire for a while, allowing the liquid in the pot to evaporate.
During this period, they added rosin and peppermint juice to the liquid, which not only acted as an antibacterial agent but also provided a cooling sensation when using the soap.
Seeing that the water vapor had almost completely evaporated, Lu Wuyai removed the earthenware pot from the fire and let it cool naturally. This is also a crucial step in the formation of soap.
