You could say Bai Wei and his group are idiots who never learn from their mistakes, even though they've already suffered so many losses at my hands before.

But they still don't remember, every time they challenged my bottom line.

"You need to understand one thing: if this liger didn't have this gun, do you think the few of you could have killed it?"

When Bai Wei and the others saw the gun in my hand, a hint of fear appeared on their faces.

However, I don't want to make the relationship too strained.

After all, this island is now fraught with danger.

Besides that unknown trap, we have now discovered that there are also large, ferocious beasts on this island.

Perhaps we will need to support each other in the days to come.

Anyway, I don't want to eat the tiger's meat, so I might as well give it to them.

But I want them to understand that giving to them is not a concession on my part, but rather an act of charity.

"Alright, I don't want the lion-tiger meat, but I want the hide."

Bai Wei and his group looked at each other, and then Bai Wei nodded.

"You deserve the most credit, so since you want the tiger skin, we have no objection."

Chen Jian and two male colleagues quickly came over and helped me drag the liger to the beach.

I swiftly drew my dagger and killed the lion-tiger beast, then removed its entire hide.

After that, we dealt with the wild boar. During this time, Wang Ping was watching me and imitating how I dealt with the wild boar.

Then Chen Jian and two male colleagues helped me transport the wild boar meat to the mountain.

Xiao Qiang was awake and in a daze, while Xu Wei was tidying up the dry branches.

Both of them seemed a little nervous when they saw me come back.

Xu Wei put down her work and ran up to me with a worried look on her face: "Why did you come back so late? Did something happen?"

As he finished speaking, he saw the tiger skin I was holding and his face turned pale: "My God, there are tigers in this place?"

I was so hungry that my stomach was practically sticking to my back, so I went straight into the house and started rummaging through the pot hanging over the campfire.

Fortunately, there was soup simmering in the pot, and the aroma was wonderful. Chen Jian and several male colleagues looked on with longing, but I ignored them.

After all, they gave them such a big tiger and a wild boar, which should be enough to feed them for a while.

After delivering the items, the group went down the mountain. I hurriedly drank several bowls of soup, and feeling so full, I collapsed onto the bed.

After I rebuilt this bed, I turned all the straw beds we used to sleep on into one large communal bed.

Before any disputes could arise, Xiao Qiang ran away.

Now that she's back, and because she's injured, she's sleeping next to me, and I'm taking care of her.

At first, I felt a little embarrassed, but Xiao Qiang was unconscious at the time, so I just let it go.

Xiao Qiang is awake now. When she sees me lying next to her, her face turns red, but she doesn't say anything.

Xu Wei's attention was entirely focused on the white tiger skin.

One moment I'm scared, the next I'm overjoyed.

Wang Xiaoxiao and Liu Jiaojiao returned shortly afterward, and they were also surprised to see the lion-tiger pelt.

Wang Xiaoxiao carefully gave Xiao Qiang her medicine again, and we were able to rest completely.

The next morning, I was woken up by Wang Xiaoxiao before I was even fully awake.

She said she wanted to catch a few more short-legged birds.

These things lay eggs very frequently and are not picky eaters, just like domestic chickens. If you catch a few more, you can at least have some dry food if there is no food or if there is a heavy rain.

We were just thinking of digging up some more jicama.

Xiao Qiang was still unable to move, so I left Liu Jiaojiao to take care of her while I took Xu Wei and Wang Xiaoxiao down the mountain with baskets.

As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, we saw Bai Wei and his group standing there drying meat.

Bai Wei and the others are good-for-nothings, but Wang Ping is a thoughtful one. After watching us dry meat and fish, he started to imitate us.

But this is good, it saves them from all depending on me.

And I am willing to teach them.

Seeing that we were about to leave with our baskets, Wang Ping immediately stood up and walked towards me with a fawning expression: "Where are you going? Could you take us with you?"

Remembering their "reasonable" argument with me yesterday over the liger, I deliberately ignored them.

"I'm really sorry, we're just going out for a stroll. We won't be taking you with us today. You have to learn to be self-reliant! The dried meat needs to be dried and marinated quickly, or it will spoil."

After I finished speaking, I led Wang Xiaoxiao and the others to the place where we had encountered the short-legged bird before.

Wang Ping was left standing there, looking embarrassed.

These short-legged birds are very agile, and catching them is very troublesome. After we arrived at the place, I had two women pull the vines, while I wove the vines one by one into a somewhat rough net.

However, this net is perfect for catching this short-legged bird, even though it can't catch anything else.

We brought a lot of shellfish meat with us when we came, because we observed that the two short-legged birds we caught near the hot spring pool on the mountaintop particularly liked to eat shellfish meat.

After we finished setting the trap, we hid to the side. Xu Wei had brought a lot of dried meat and water because she was afraid of being hungry.

The three of us didn't dare to chat; we just sat there in a daze. After more than two hours, we finally heard the chirping of the short-legged bird coming from the woods.

The two women immediately became alert and carefully observed the movements inside. After a while, they saw a flock of short-legged birds gradually emerging from the depths of the woods.

They came to forage, the chicks nodding their heads like pecking at rice as they picked up insects from the grass, a sight that warmed the heart.

Xu Wei smiled, and Wang Xiaoxiao was also happy.

The flock of short-legged birds didn't notice us, and we dared not move or make a sound.

As I watched those short-legged birds gradually walk into the trap we had just set and begin to eat the shellfish meat we had dried, I nervously tugged at the rope in my hand.

The rope instantly lashed out at the flock of short-legged birds, and seven or eight of them were immediately trapped in the net made of vines.

I quickly ran forward, and Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei hurriedly followed, covering the vine tightly.

Several short-legged birds were unable to break free, while the others scattered in all directions. However, catching these seven or eight birds was a pleasant surprise for us.

We quickly used vines to tie all the short-legged birds together, and then strung them all together with a branch.

"Wow, we caught so many short-legged birds! We'll have bird meat to eat when we get back!"

Xu Wei jumped around excitedly beside me, and Wang Xiaoxiao also had a smile on her face. Looking at Xu Wei, she couldn't help but tease her: "All you know is how to eat. These are for laying eggs."

The three of us dug up a lot more jicama and picked up a lot of herbs similar to those that Xiao Qiang had taken us to pick before. Although we don't know if they are the right ones, we'll let Xiao Qiang take a look when we get back.

After working for a while, we ate some dried meat, drank some water, and then set off on our way back.

While passing by the seaside, I also found some fish that had been washed ashore by the waves.

The fish were all colorful and looked very appealing. I don't know if they're edible, but I'll take them home first.
