This mountain does look very big, and there is a small waterfall at the bottom. The water in it is indeed sweet and delicious, and it can survive in fresh water.

This situation is much better than living by the sea. However, there is still some trouble. Once we move here, if we want to eat fish or shrimp that have been washed ashore, we will have to travel a long way back.

Moreover, if we move here, we won't be able to get the news immediately if a rescue team or a ship from another country appears at sea, and we might even miss the rescue opportunity.

I hesitated for a moment and looked at Wang Ping: "We need to discuss this matter carefully. Moving here is not a good solution if we don't have a foolproof plan."

Chen Jian's face darkened upon hearing this, but after I shared my thoughts with them, the male colleagues fell silent and began to hesitate.

Seeing Chen Jian's disappointed face, I felt a pang of unease. I sighed, patted Chen Jian's shoulder to comfort him, and said, "Don't worry, if we can find a way to have the best of both worlds and move to this hilltop, I'll help you build a house if you want to start your own household."

Chen Jian's expression softened, and we observed the area again, even going up to the top of the mountain for a look.

However, there are indeed no caves on the mountaintop. Fortunately, the mountain is very flat and has an area of ​​about 1,800 square meters, which is quite large.

If we could build a treehouse here, it would be an absolutely wonderful place for us.

We can build a lot of houses here. Chen Jian wants to set up his own separate house, and I have no objection, nor does Wang Ping.

If Bai Wei and the others still want to live together, it will be even simpler.

We will still live next door to each other then, and we can take care of each other.

Most importantly, it would be difficult for even a wild beast to climb up this mountain.

The only slight regret is that I'm a little reluctant to leave my mountain hot spring.

Although the waterfall was clean and cold, it was still cold water. The men were fine with it, but the women suffered.

We walked around for a long time before finally sitting down to rest by a rock and eating what we had brought with us. Only then did we begin our long journey back.

When they returned to the cave, Bai Wei and his group were collecting food, and the deck was already filled with the seafood they had gathered.

Xu Wei and the others were also collecting seashells on the beach, all with smiles on their faces. It seemed that Lin Xubo and his group hadn't come to cause trouble, which put my mind at ease.

When Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei saw me return, they immediately ran to my side and asked me how things were going. I explained the situation over there, and Xu Wei's expression immediately improved.

"So, are we going to move? When are we moving?"

Xiao Qiang didn't say anything. I knew she must have some concerns, after all, Xiao Qiang understands me best.

Xiao Qiang turned her head to look in the direction of our cave, her face somewhat gloomy: "Does that mean we can't keep this cave?"

"It's still uncertain right now. After all, we haven't thoroughly checked that area, so we don't know how safe it is. But if things go well, this cave might be..."

Before I could finish speaking, Xiao Qiang nodded: "I know, it's okay. As long as you're here, it doesn't matter where we go."

Hearing Xiao Qiang say that, Xu Wei pursed her lips, her face darkening. She didn't say anything and turned to go to the beach to continue collecting seashells with Liu Jiaojiao and the others.

In the evening, we killed a short-legged bird and made a big pot of soup.

Liu Jiaojiao was probably still thinking about Chen Jian, and she sat there foolishly with a bowl of soup but didn't drink it.

Wang Xiaoxiao chuckled mischievously, "I know you miss him, so I've saved some for them. You can take them to him after you finish eating."

Liu Jiaojiao blushed: "What are you saying, Sister Xiaoxiao? I wasn't thinking about him at all..."

After saying that, he held his soup bowl, head down, seemingly lost in thought.

It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home.

However, Chen Jian is a trustworthy young man.

If Liu Jiaojiao really likes him, I really have no objection. After all, after getting to know her for a while, I've really come to regard Liu Jiaojiao as my sister. Of course, I'd be happy if she could find a good match.

Xiao Qiang chuckled and said, "Oh, it's natural for men to marry when they're of age, and for women to marry when they're of age. Although our situation is a bit tense and complicated right now, I think Chen Jian is quite handsome. I was really touched when he risked his life to save you that day."

After saying that, she glanced at me and gave me a sidelong look. I found it amusing, but with so many people around and no way to get close to Xiao Qiang, I could only eat a piece of meat to ease the awkwardness.

Wang Xiaoxiao took the rest of the soup to Bai Wei's camp. Chen Jian and Liu Jiaojiao stood to the side, unsure what to say.

Looking down from the cave, I genuinely felt that this was the first thing that made us happy after being stranded on this deserted island.

After resting for a while at noon, I decided to go and weave a few more fish baskets to catch some new fish in the afternoon.

If we really have to move, then once we're far from the sea, we'll need to make more markings along the shore so that passing ships can see that there might be people living on this island.

Wang Xiaoxiao and the others were busy picking apples and jicama.

Without those foreigners causing trouble, I felt much more at ease with just a few male colleagues around.

They went in the afternoon and returned just as dusk fell, having made a great haul. After preparing at the campsite for a few days, we returned to the foot of that mountain once again.

This time, we carefully examined the entire surrounding environment, and apart from some animal skeletons, there was nothing else amiss.

I was overjoyed, and Chen Jian was also very excited. He kept looking at the trees and then at the surrounding grass, chuckling to himself.

Just when we thought we could migrate smoothly this time, we found a strange pile of stones in the forest on our way back.

Moreover, there were bones covered in blood and flesh next to the pile of stones.

Although we had seen such scenes before, we were still shocked when we saw them again.

It seems that the island's native inhabitants once lived here.

Wang Ping's expression was somewhat grim: "Sihai, you said there are signs of their presence in this place. If we move here, wouldn't it be unsafe?"

Another male colleague immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, although animals can't come up here on this mountain, they are still wild people! They still have the title of 'human' after all. If they really pounce on us and take us away, that would be too terrible. I think it's better if we don't move and stay by the sea. If things don't work out, we can build a few wooden houses at the foot of your mountain and live there just the same."

Now I had some doubts. If there really were wild men around here, then moving here was not a good idea. After all, once we reached the top of the mountain, we probably wouldn't even have anywhere to run.

But if we're really afraid of them, then there are traces of them everywhere on this island. Do we even want to live?
