"I need to pee, please turn over."

Lu Wuyai was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose, and finally revealed a meaningful smile in Old Wu's shy and angry eyes.

All right.

Lu Wuyai turned around and soon heard the sound of flowing water.

The atmosphere in the air became somewhat indescribable.

"Okay, okay."

If it weren't for Lu Wuyai's keen hearing, Old Wu wouldn't have been able to hear what he was saying at all.

Under cover, two people sat on one side, and another sat on the right.

The atmosphere was awkward. Actually, Lu Wuyai was too tired to say anything. He was thinking about when the rain outside would stop so he could leave sooner.

Wu Jiujiu would occasionally glance at Lu Wuyai, but seeing him remain silent, she lost interest in speaking to him. As time went on, she discovered she had a fever again.

In her daze, she seemed to hear Lu Wuyai complaining, and then something enveloped her.

This time, Wu Jiujiu slept very soundly. When he woke up again, the sky was completely dark.

"Is anyone home?" Wu Jiujiu asked instinctively.

"Who else but me?" Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes, and seeing Wu Jiujiu's panic after waking up, he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Wu Jiujiu visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lu Wuyai's voice. Although the two weren't that familiar with each other, he still gave her a very reliable feeling.

Soon, Wu Jiujiu noticed the clothes she was wearing. Although he couldn't see them clearly, they were obviously not hers.

"You should rest for a while; the rain might stop tomorrow."

Lu Wuyai sat on the ground, feeling utterly weak. He had already eaten a lot, but now he was so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back.

Knowing something about Lu Wuyai, Old Wu suddenly pulled something out of his pocket.

"Eat something if you're hungry."

"What's wrong?" Lu Wuyai asked cautiously, "You didn't put poison in it, did you?"

"If you don't want it, give it to me. I only have one piece left."

"Haha, I'll give it a try first." Lu Wuyai blocked the woman rushing towards him. It seems this matter is quite important to Lao Wu.

Hearing the sound of the package being torn open, Old Wu remembered something and reminded him, "This stuff is very filling. Don't eat too much, or you'll choke to death."

"You didn't tell me before."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiujiu was speechless for a moment, deeply worried about Lu Wuyai's health.

Because although it is only the size of a palm, it is formed by food being compressed multiple times in a special way.

"Spit it out quickly, or you'll really die!" Wu Jiujiu shouted.

But Lu Wuyai felt that eating this kind of food would not make him feel full at all, so there should be no problem.

"Don't worry, I'm a big eater, the person who eats the most on this deserted island," Lu Wuyai said, his breath reeking of foul odor.

Wu Jiujiu patted her forehead, convinced that she wasn't running a fever, but rather that this Lu Wuyai guy must have something wrong with his head.

But in fact, as time went on, Wu Jiujiu realized that Lu Wuyai really wasn't responding. Half an hour passed, and all that could be heard was the rumbling of hunger coming from Lu Wuyai's stomach.

"How could this person be so perverted?" Wu Jiujiu's heart clenched violently, and then he realized another problem.

Lu Wuyai finished the compressed food, but there seemed to be nothing else to eat...

Wu Jiujiu touched his stomach and felt a little sad.

Then, Lu Wuyai suddenly said, "There's a small piece left in this bag. Maybe I'll give it to you."

Hearing these words, Old Wu almost burst into tears. He took the food from Lu Wuyai's hand and began to eat it bite by bite.

In fact, Old Wu felt full even before he finished eating.

At this point, Lu Wuyai looked at Wu Jiujiu thoughtfully. The other party's identity was undoubtedly mysterious. This compressed food was of higher quality than military rations. It was more like a rice ball. A small bite could feed an ordinary person for a whole day.

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Wuyai asked again.

This time, Lao Wu remained silent, but just as Lu Wuyai continued to remain silent, the other party spoke.

"I am a refugee who came to this deserted island by cruise ship."

"Really?" Lu Wuyai asked.

"real."

Who is the person pursuing you?

"They were company employees. I stole their things, so I had no choice but to run away," Old Wu said, feigning nonchalance. In reality, she had been running for a long time and had run out of food and water. Before encountering Lu Wuyai again, she had considered suicide or surrendering.

Lu Wuyai asked, "Where is your ship?"

"On the other side of the island."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai suddenly asked curiously, "The other side of the island. You mean there's a perfectly navigable ship on the other side of this deserted island?"

"All right."

Have you ever sailed around the island?

“This island is very large, and as far as I can remember, no one in the company had any plans for it.”

Old Wu mentioned this company several times in his conversation, which aroused Lu Wuyai's curiosity.

"The company you're referring to is some kind of organization or dark force."

"They were a disaster relief company, but I only recently found out they were all scammers. They claimed to be rescue workers. In reality, after they tricked us into boarding the boat, they just wandered around aimlessly. They're considered sea pirates."

Old Wu said that she had been tricked onto a ship on another island, and many women even sacrificed their bodies and lives.

"So, can you take me with you?" Wu Jiujiu looked at Lu Wuyai pitifully.

The other person had a really good figure; the dangerous peaks formed by squeezing his chest with their arms made Lu Wuyai feel thirsty at the same time.

"Stay away from me for now." Lu Wuyai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other person sit back down.

"Tell me what you stole first."

“Only this bracelet,” Wu Jiujiu said, holding up the wooden beads in his hand. “It’s said that the company’s information is all here. I haven’t seen the specific details yet.”

"How did you steal it?" Lu Wuyai continued to ask.

"Why do you have so many questions?" Wu Jiujiu rolled his eyes, but since he had nothing else to do, he simply repeated himself.

"It's all because of my good figure that I caught the eye of a sleazy guy in the company. You know, in that kind of environment, it's very difficult for a weak woman like me to survive..." Wu Jiujiu said pitifully, but Lu Wuyai sneered inwardly. What weak woman carries so many hidden weapons?

“That day, he forced me into the tent. After a fierce resistance, I escaped with this bracelet, but was chased all the way here.”

“You should come up with a decent story.” In the darkness, Lu Wuyai revealed a hint of disdain, which finally angered Wu Jiujiu.

What's wrong with me?

"You have to listen to it yourself, am I begging you?"

\"that's the truth. I was almost raped, but I cut off the grandson's lifeblood and escaped with the bracelet."

Believe it or not.

"snort"

Strangely, Lu Wuyai felt a chill in his lower body.

“That person is really pitiful,” Lu Wuyai said with emotion.

"Hmph, that's the company boss's son. I guess I did something good for the common people." Wu Jiujiu patted Erlang's leg, making him look like he definitely needed a beating.

Lu Wuyai subconsciously distanced himself from her, as if he felt a sense of security.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Wuyai turned his head and glanced at Wu Jiujiu in the darkness, finding that Wu Jiujiu was breathing steadily and had fallen asleep again.

The next morning, Lu Wuyai opened his eyes and found that the heavy rain had stopped, and there was a sense of vitality in the air.

In the deadwood forest, many places have sprouted, one after another, which is very gratifying.

"It's time to go," Lu Wuyai thought to himself. He turned to look at Wu Jiujiu, who was still sleeping. After thinking it over carefully, he decided to wake her up.

Wu Jiujiu rubbed his eyes and found that he was in pretty good spirits.

"The rain has stopped, what are you going to do next?"

Upon hearing Lu Wuyai's question, Wu Jiujiu was stunned for a while before naturally saying, "I'll follow you."

Lu Wuyai rolled his eyes: "Aren't you afraid I'll sell you off?"

In fact, Lu Wuyai was very worried about Wu Jiujiu. Although they had only spent a few days with her, he could still tell that this woman was too proactive.

“I’m not afraid,” Wu Jiujiu said with a smile, seemingly unprepared for what others might say.

Lu Wuyai frowned, and before he could think of what to say, he rejected the woman.

"Let's take a walk first," Lu Wuyai said finally.

Soon, he took off his duffel bag, wrung it out, and began looking for the marks he had made earlier, preparing to continue walking around the edge of the deadwood forest so that he could find familiar places at any time.

Wu Jiujiu followed closely behind Lu Wuyai, walking with great energy and without any weakness as before, and they walked for several hours.

Lu Wuyai glanced at the matter from the side, secretly taking it to heart.

After noon, a layer of mist appeared in the deadwood forest, and the humidity in the air continued to rise, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling. So, the two of them distanced themselves from the deadwood forest and walked far away into the grassland.

"The fog is back," Wu Jiujiu shouted.

“Booster.” Lu Wuyai urged her to follow him closely.

In the blink of an eye, the two had run several hundred meters forward. When they stopped, their clothes were soaked with water vapor.

The air temperature is also rising. Winter has just passed, and the temperature difference between day and night has become so huge.

Both of them took off their down jackets. The dampness was making it hard to breathe. The down jackets were soaked through, and even after wringing them out, they were still very stuffy to wear.

The fog in the forest didn't gradually dissipate until after 3 p.m.

As dusk fell, Lu Wuyai found that the familiar scenery was still nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat frustrated. He secretly thought that the area of ​​this forest of withered trees was larger than he had imagined.

During this time, Wu Jiujiu also asked Lu Wuyai where he was going.

Lu Wuyai didn't talk much about it, still not quite trusting Wu Jiujiu. Her previous words always made Lu Wuyai feel like she was making up stories.

“You don’t believe me,” Wu Jiujiu said bluntly.

Lu Wuyai looked at the other person, nodded, and offered no explanation. It would be better to explain the matter.

Wu Jiujiu glared at Lu Wuyai, then finally looked away, took the string of Buddhist beads, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Watching the woman's retreating figure, a hint of hesitation flashed in Lu Wuyai's eyes, but it ultimately turned into determination.

Lu Wuyai didn't rest that night. He had been gone for two days. If he didn't go back, he didn't know how worried the people in the cave would be.

In the early hours of the third day, an exhausted Lu Wuyai suddenly noticed something familiar, such as a piece of abandoned wood on the grass in the distance, which seemed to be the place where the cowshed was built.

Seeing this, Lu Wuyai almost cried. After traveling for so many days, it seemed he was truly reaching the end. He hadn't felt this way in a long time.

Lu Wuyai staggered towards the ruins, looking at the familiar scene, certain that this was the original cowshed, but it had been destroyed by a giant snake.

After confirming, Lu Wuyai did not linger and ran directly towards the stone mountain.

When he saw Su Xi climb out of the pool, Lu Wuyai took a long breath. It felt really good to see someone he knew.

"Lu Wuyai." Su Xi also saw Lu Wuyai, put down the bucket in her hand, and almost ran towards him.

The two hugged each other, feeling each other's heartbeats, and only let go after a long time.

"Where did you go? We were so worried," Su Xi said, her eyes red. Everyone was anxious during the three days Lu Wuyai had been missing, especially Su Xi. She was pregnant, and she couldn't hide it from anyone she lived with.

"Let's go see her first." Su Xi pushed Lu Wuyai into the cave.

In the laboratory at the foot of the rocky mountain, Gu Yuxin has a small, private room, while at this moment, Youli is lying on a large hospital bed surrounded by constantly rotating frames, which look very high-tech.

As soon as Lu Wuyai entered, the two women's eyes immediately focused on him.

“Lu Wuyai.” Youli felt her heart race and her eyes welled up with tears. Since becoming pregnant, she had become very sentimental.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wuyai immediately stepped forward and embraced Su Xi.

"I'm sorry," Lu Wuyai said.

"As long as you're alright." Su Xi nudged him and told Lu Wuyai that she was going for a prenatal checkup.

Gu Yuxin's operating table had been completely reassembled during this period and tested without any problems.

"Let's see what our baby looks like first," Gu Yuxin said softly as she operated the operating table, and clear images gradually appeared on the nearby screen.

When Lu Wuyai saw the child's silhouette, he found his heart pounding wildly, and he felt as if he were about to leave him.

"Boy or girl?" Lu Wuyai couldn't help but ask.

As a result, Su Xi said, "Don't tell him."

"Why?" Lu Wuyai couldn't help but raise his voice.

"Can we save the surprise for last?" Su Xi said softly.

Lu Wuyai was silent for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?"

“I was a little nervous before, but I’m so glad to see you back now.”

"I will not leave you again before the baby is born."

"Really." Su Xi held Lu Wuyai's hand tightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"don’t worry."

Lu Wuyai and Su Xi looked at each other, completely forgetting about Gu Yuxin who was busy beside them.

"Fine, if you have nothing to do, don't stay here." Gu Yuxin spat.

Finally, Lu Wuyai was kicked out, and Gu Yuxin told him to hurry up and get more black stones. In recent years, black stone mines have been consumed in large quantities.

And so, on the very first day after Lu Wuyai returned to the cave, he drove back to the mine in the Deadwood Forest.

This black stone mine is enormous; Lu Wuyai hasn't even managed to dig to its edge yet. As for depth, the average depth of each mining area is currently 5 meters. The black stone evokes a sense of abyss.

At this point, Su Xi got out of the car, looked at Lu Wuyai in the pit, and angrily said to Gu Yuxin beside her, "It's outrageous! We just got back and you're already ordering us around."

Jin Xilu smiled and ignored Su Xi. After spending so many days and months together, they had a clear understanding of each other's personalities.

"Let's get to work, it's about to rain."

"Why?" Su Xi sighed, rolled up her sleeves to reveal a pair of gleaming arms, and began to move the black stones that Lu Wuyai had thrown up.

The mining of Black Stone Mine relies entirely on a person's physical strength and endurance, and these are the two things that Lu Wuyai has the most of.

His digging speed alone was enough to keep Su Xi and Gu Yuxin busy.

As darkness fell, Lu Wuyai jumped out of the black stone mine and saw two pickup trucks filled with people. The women were backing up, preparing to leave the withered forest.

"Lu Wuyai, get in the car quickly!" Su Xi called out.

Just then, Lu Wuyai turned his head toward the end of the Black Stone Mine, where he vaguely heard some breathing sounds.

But when he tried to distinguish it again, he couldn't feel anything at all.

Su Xi urged him again, and Lu Wuyai put away the electric drill, took a running start, and jumped into the car.

After leaving the Deadwood Forest, Lu Wuyai looked back at the vast natural landscape, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Back in the cave, feeling the warmth in the air, those who had gone outside took off their down jackets and prepared to have dinner.

"The temperature difference between day and night has been too great lately, so everyone should take precautions against catching a cold," Gu Yuxin reminded.

ah.

Rou Rou lay on her small bed, looking at the food in everyone's bowls, drool dripping from the corners of her mouth.

Looking at that chubby little face, Gu Yuxin remembered something and asked, "Rou Rou, isn't it time to eat complementary foods?"

“Alright, considering the time, it should be almost time,” Morroy said.

However, many people are confused and ask what complementary foods are.

“It’s for the children. I remember I brought some from the cruise ship. Let’s go look for it,” Song Xiaoyou said, seemingly aware of the importance of complementary foods.

After eating, everyone searched the cave where the containers were piled up and found some so-called supplementary food.

"Let's eat it in six months." Gu Yuxin put these things away, thinking that Su Xi might need them in the future.

It was late at night, and everyone was sleeping soundly. On his first night back in the cave, Lu Wuyai found himself unable to sleep.

Why?

Lu Wuyai got out of bed, walked to the lobby, found the private room where Su Xi was sleeping, and found her sleeping on her side with her belly sticking out very clearly. An air purifier was running slowly next to her.

Click it.

Hearing the noise, Lu Wuyai turned around and saw Gu Yuxin. She stood up to drink water. The two looked at each other, a faint scent spreading in the air.
