Because many of our dried meats have been stolen and eaten by lynxes.

Chen Jian and the others were reluctant to eat during this period, and the remaining dried meat was only used to supplement Liu Jiaojiao with some normal protein.

That's why they went to the woods together to dig for wild vegetables.

Because we were exhausted from our long journey, and Chen Jian felt guilty, we had a fairly substantial dinner.

It was a wild vegetable soup made with dried meat, along with some salted fish and pickled vegetables, and for the first time ever, a pot of brown rice and sea cucumber porridge.

During this period, DouDing and DouDing's mother became the only main force in the camp to find food.

I haven't seen my little one for over ten days, and he's grown so much! His little belly is all bulging, and he's so happy to see me. He insists on sleeping with me tonight.

Wang Xiaoxiao said that since we left, Douding and Douding's mother have gone out to the camp every day to pick fruit for them. Although the two of them are small and they only pick a small amount each time, it is enough for them to supplement their vitamins.

Wang Xiaoxiao and I talked for a while about things between camps. She told me to rest assured and that Liu Jiaojiao's mood hadn't been very good lately, and they were worried that Liu Jiaojiao might have a premature birth.

Because she hadn't been eating or sleeping well during this period, and was also under a lot of stress, she ate much less.

Wang Xiaoxiao also told me that if we wanted to come back during this period, we should try not to leave again, so as to avoid causing any other trouble.

This time I'm back, and I don't plan to leave again. Firstly, I always feel uneasy about Xiao He and the others coming to this deserted island.

If they're really just here to pan for gold on this deserted island and don't pose any threat to us, then it doesn't matter.

But I'm afraid they won't find what they want here and will end up focusing their attention on other things.

If they really intend to enslave us by force, our current situation and weaponry are probably not even on the same level as theirs.

If a fire really breaks out, our chances of winning aren't very high, so we need to reset all the safety measures around us to prevent any further accidents.

Furthermore, the relationship between these indigenous people and those lynxes is so chilling that it sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it.

I have no idea. If these indigenous people can train lynxes, what if they can train other animals?

Although lynxes are very powerful, they are small animals after all. If things get really heated, two men can usually kill a few lynxes.

But if these indigenous people can train larger wild animals, such as wolves and tigers, in addition to lynxes, wouldn't our situation be even more difficult?

Therefore, the most urgent task now is to set up more traps around the area to prevent anything from trying to rush up.

We must be more fully prepared to protect ourselves.

“I already know what happened at the camp. Don’t be too sad. I’m already very happy that we were able to save so many things. Xu Wei and the others have been in a bad mood these past few days, and they’ve been relying on you to keep them going. You’ve worked hard too. Go back and rest early.”

Hearing what I said, Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, but your clothes are so tattered, it's heartbreaking to see. We've caught quite a few rabbits these past few days, but with the weather so hot, clothes made from rabbit skins are unwearable. Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang have been researching what to use to replace cotton or silk to make some clothes, but so far there hasn't been any progress. But don't worry, I'm sure if we keep trying, we'll find something to replace it."

I nodded, and was about to tell Wang Xiaoxiao not to worry. Even if this place really has a winter, we just need to catch some wild boars and wolves, skin them, and we'll be able to survive the winter.

But before I could speak, I heard Xiao Qiang's voice suddenly coming from the doorway. When I looked up, I saw Xiao Qiang carrying a clay bowl as she entered my cubicle.

He saw Wang Xiaoxiao and me sitting on the wooden bed and his expression froze.

Then, she smiled and nodded at me: "Sihai, you really don't know how to be considerate. Xiaoxiao is already tired, why don't you let her go and rest?"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Xiaoxiao and nodded, "Go and rest. I'll take care of Sihai. Oh, right, Liu Jiaojiao might be hungry. There's some steamed egg custard in the pot for her. Go and take it to her so she can have some."

Wang Xiaoxiao listened to Xiao Qiang's words without saying a word, nodded without any change in expression, and then left my cubicle.

After seeing Wang Xiaoxiao leave, Xiao Qiang took a wolf skin and hung it on the door of my cubicle, covering most of the door. Then, she turned to look at me, her eyes reddening, and she threw herself into my arms.

"I miss you so much... but you don't miss me at all!"

Seeing Xiao Qiang like this, I couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in my heart.

To be honest, when I was being chased by that huge python in the woods, I thought I was definitely not going to survive.

But then I thought, what would happen to the women waiting for me in the camp if I really died?

I practically gritted my teeth and squeezed myself into the crevice of the rock, leaving myself behind.

I gave my life to come back and see them. Seeing that Xiao Qiang and the others were all safe and sound, I felt much more at ease.

Hearing Xiao Qiang say this now makes me feel even more upset.

Actually, if I hadn't gone out with those foreigners to look for Yang Rui and his group, this wouldn't have happened. Xiao Qiang and the others were left facing so many terrifying lynxes in the camp. I don't know how scared and desperate they must have been.

Looking back now, I realize that I was definitely wrong in this matter.

I patted Xiao Qiang on the shoulder and gently hugged her: "It's alright. I will never leave like this again after I come back, leaving you all here on your own."

Xiao Qiang wrapped her arms around my neck and reached out to touch my body, which aroused me. However, the wound on my back had not fully healed yet. If I were too unrestrained, the wound might reopen, and I didn't know how long it would take to recover.

Xiao Qiang was already somewhat confused and infatuated. Her small hands wandered over my back, touching my wound. I cried out in pain, and Xiao Qiang immediately jumped up and took off my clothes.

When she saw the wounds on my body, her eyes reddened again.

"Sihai, you must live well. What will I do if something really happens to you? You are my support..."

I patted Xiao Qiang to stop crying, but to my surprise, she looked up and kissed me on the lips.

To be honest, I've been exhausted these past two days, but seeing Xiao Qiang like this, I can't bear to refuse her. And I know that if I force myself to suppress my desires now, I won't be able to hold back for long.

Then I blew out the fish oil lamp and pressed Xiao Qiang directly onto my wooden bed.

Xiao Qiang murmured softly, but before she could even shout it out, I swallowed it directly into my mouth.

I pinned Xiao Qiang down tightly and whispered in her ear how much I had missed her during this time. I could even feel Xiao Qiang's body temperature rising rapidly.

Inside the room, there were only the two of us, covered by a huge wolf skin. At that moment, I pressed Xiao Qiang down beneath me, feeling as if I were embracing the whole world...
