"Brother, you haven't mentioned this at all," Ye Zi sighed.

Tongtong covered her mouth and chuckled. That's why she had to admit it. Anyway, Yezi was the one who said it, and she was just going along with it. She wouldn't lose anything.

"Call me brother," Ye Zi said fiercely.

Tongtong turned to look at the two honey badgers and changed the subject:

"Look, the guy who wanted to challenge you to a duel is eating."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zi turned her head and looked over. The male honey badger was indeed eating meat, but it was struggling to eat. It had just woken up from its serious injuries and didn't have the strength to tear the meat apart.

The female honey badger tried to help, but after several attempts, she managed to pull the entire piece of meat away.

"I was careless and didn't cut it."

Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Tong Tong, thinking, "If you want my help, just say so. You were too careless and didn't cut it."

This is a line from the master of Lightning Five Whips; can you just use it like that?

However, Ye Zi still got up and walked towards the two honey badgers.

The female honey badger was much more relaxed this time, but the male honey badger, who had just woken up, began to bare its teeth and threaten.

With a glare, Ye Zi squatted down, pulled out her military knife, and began cutting meat.

After cutting the meat into small strips about the size of a finger, he got up and left.

Then the female honey badger began to eat, and the male honey badger paused for a moment before slowly starting to eat as well.

One piece of meat wasn't enough. After the female honey badger finished eating, she stared longingly at Yezi. Yezi understood and took another piece of meat, cut it into small strips, and sent it over, while also pouring a bowl of water.

The two honey badgers had eaten their fill, and the male honey badger quickly fell asleep. Not long after, the female honey badger also lay down next to her husband to rest.

In the afternoon, after Fairhead woke up, he was in much better spirits, and his mother circled around him several times.

Are we still traveling today?

Ye Zi rolled her eyes at Tong Tong and said:

"If you want to take care of these two, just say so. Stop beating around the bush. Luckily, I'm smart, otherwise I would have already started packing."

Tongtong rolled her eyes at Yezi, as if to say, "You're not going to let this issue of how you address someone get over it, are you?"

"We can't finish all that meat, and it's so hot that Big Black and the others can't stand it either. Let's rest for a day before we set off again."

"Okay, I'll give you face. I've decided not to leave and will rest for a day."

Tongtong pretended to be angry and said:

“I admit it, I’m eighteen, you’re a teenager, call me big sister.”

"Okay, Auntie."

What did you call me?

"Auntie, you're an adult now. I'm just a teenager. What else should I call you if not auntie?"

"This matter can't be resolved, can it?"

"..."

Time passed amidst the noise. In the evening, Ye Zi lit a fire to cook, but his keen sense of smell revealed that the wildebeest meat was only enough for this one meal and would spoil by tomorrow morning.

However, after this meal, there won't be much left.

If he didn't want to face Tongtong's strange gaze, he would have already put all that wildebeest meat into his spatial storage. He'd rather have as little of it as possible.

Ye Zi and her companion were preparing to cook when the female honey badger noticed a large piece of meat in Ye Zi's hand and immediately began to stare at it intently.

Feeling that she was being watched, Ye Zi instinctively looked over and saw the longing in the female honey badger's eyes.

Then he handed the meat to Tongtong, went to the car to take out the rest of the meat, cut it into strips, and delivered it to the honey badger couple.

The female honey badger didn't eat much this time, but the male honey badger had a good appetite and went to sleep as soon as it finished eating.

Ye Zi glanced at it speechlessly, then continued with her own business.

After she and Tongtong finished eating, the weather wasn't so hot anymore. Yezi groaned and then lay down to rest.

The surroundings were very quiet. Big Black had already gone out with several of his wives. As a water buffalo, he was quite sensitive to changes in the moisture content of the air.

Moreover, water buffalo migrate every year, so they know exactly where the water sources are. Since it took several mates with it when it went out, it must have known that there were water sources nearby.

After chatting with Tongtong for a few minutes, the two of them quietly enjoyed the rare tranquility.

Tongtong only opened her half-asleep eyes when Yezi started snoring.

Yezi was already asleep, and because she had no pillow, only a wildebeest skin, she was snoring.

Tongtong chuckled, went to the car to take Yezi's cowhide rug down and spread it out, then got in the car to rest.

In the middle of the night, Ye Zi heard a noise and instinctively asked the system, only to find out that Da Hei had returned with several of his wives.

Looking around, Tongtong had already gotten into the car to rest. His leather blanket was ready, and he moved to a spot to sleep with his gifts. Just then, he saw a female honey badger with a wary expression staring in the direction where Dahei had returned.

Ye Zi ignored it and lay down to continue sleeping.

After Dahei returned, it lay down in the spot where it had rested during the day and began to rest.

Nothing happened that night. When I opened my eyes again, it was already the thirty-fourth day of my struggle for survival.

Ye Zi had a rare good night's sleep, mainly because she had killed off most of the hyenas that were lurking in the forest during the day; otherwise, she would definitely have had to get up and cause trouble in the middle of the night.

That should be the only hyena pack in the vicinity. Having witnessed Ye Zi's power, they certainly won't come back, and besides, there aren't many left. Coming back would just be suicide.

After a night's rest, not only was Yezi full of energy, but Dahei, who had drunk his fill in the first half of the night and rested in the second half, was also full of energy.

I stuffed a few pieces of beef jerky into the car awning, and Tongtong didn't show up at all until she finished eating.

At this moment, Dahei had already harnessed himself to the ox and was ready to set off.

Both honey badgers are in good condition. The female honey badger is just exhausted, while the male honey badger, having eaten and drunk his fill and rested overnight, has recovered considerably and is already able to walk.

The meat that Yezi delivered last night is still there. Although it's a bit spoiled, it's not a problem for honey badgers. It's still barely fresh and edible.

Yezi planned to travel a distance before the sun reached its peak heat, and then, depending on the situation at noon, find a place to rest as she walked if it became too hot.

If it gets this hot, Yezi might even be thinking of resting during the day and traveling at night.

Stopping is out of the question; there's a pile of money waiting for him at the finish line.

They set off at dawn, rested when it got hot, continued their journey after sunset, and rested at midnight to prepare for the next day's journey.

This plan is relatively good, but I'm worried that the big black cows won't be able to handle it. If they can't find a shady place to rest, it'll be almost like traveling.

There are two buckets in the leaf space. One of them is empty. It's not an ordinary bucket; it can hold 500 liters of water.

The water was used up in just one month, so he and Tongtong had been drinking bottled water. The water in the bucket had been used on the big black cows these past few days.

Whenever they encountered a pond along the way, Yezi would fill her bucket with water while taking a bath.

It's easy to imagine how much the lack of water would affect wild water buffalo.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, the oxcart set off. Not far from the woods, the system told Yezi that two honey badgers should follow behind.

Ye Zi peeked out and saw that the female honey badger was in front and the male honey badger was behind, indeed following behind the oxcart.
