"Anlan, I'm back!" Lu Fan shouted at the top of his lungs before even reaching the shelter.

Upon hearing the sound, An Lan immediately came out of the shelter.

Behind Lu Fan, a horse was carrying a deer and several bunches of wild grapes. She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "Wow, where did you go? How did you bring back so many good things?" An Lan asked with a face full of surprise.

Lu Fan jumped off his horse triumphantly, patted the horse, and said, "That's a long story. Today I experienced a thrilling adventure. First, a cheetah tried to steal my ibex, then I finally managed to catch this deer, and unexpectedly discovered these wild grapes—what a pleasant surprise!"

An Lan smiled and took the wild grapes, saying, "You're really amazing! I knew you could do it. These wild grapes look so fresh!"

At this moment, the live stream room also became lively.

"Wow, I really miss these round purple grapes."

"This was my favorite food when I was a child. It was sweet and sour, and although it wasn't as sweet as the current Sunshine Rose brand, I still loved it."

"The grapes nowadays are all improved varieties. They are sweet, but they don't have the original flavor of grapes."

"It's like society today; it looks big and wonderful, but its essence has changed."

"I don't understand what you're saying upstairs."

The two men unloaded the deer from the horses and began preparing to process it.

Lu Fan was in charge of skinning and cutting the meat, while An Lan assisted him by handing over tools and water.

While processing the venison, Lu Fan vividly recounted his adventures to An Lan, describing the ferocity of the cheetah and the tenacious resistance of the deer. An Lan listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

"This is too dangerous. If I were in this situation, I would be terrified," An Lan said.

Lu Fan patted his chest and said confidently, "With my skills, if that leopard dares to come, I'll take it down and make it into a leather coat."

The two talked and worked at the same time, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

A warm fire lit up the shelter, filling the air with the aroma of roasting meat.

Lu Fan roasted the venison over the fire, while An Lan simmered wild grape jam on the side.

The aroma of the jam mingled with the scent of roasted meat, filling the entire shelter with a warm and inviting atmosphere.

"It smells so good, I can hardly resist it." Lu Fan kept swallowing as he smelled the aroma.

An Lan smiled and said, "Outside, this venison isn't something ordinary people can afford to eat."

Soon, the roasted venison and wild grape jam were ready.

The two sat at the dining table, enjoying the sumptuous dinner.

The roasted venison is crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, while the wild grape jam is sweet and sour with a rich flavor.

"Mmm, this is delicious! Miss's cooking skills are getting better and better." Lu Fan praised as he ate.

An Lan replied with a smile, "It's all thanks to you today. If you hadn't brought back so many good things, we wouldn't have such a sumptuous dinner."

The two ate and chatted, sharing their joy and happiness.

In this scorching wilderness, their lives, though filled with hardship and challenges, are made incredibly warm and beautiful by these small gains and the companionship they share.

After dinner, the two of them cut the remaining venison into pieces and prepared to store it for later consumption.

Anlan also packed the wild grape jam into containers and stored it in a cool, dark place.

"Today was so fulfilling, I need to get some rest." Lu Fan stretched and yawned.

The next day, as soon as the dawn broke through the thin mist, Lu Fan jumped out of bed.

A delicious meal and plenty of sleep last night left him full of energy, like a wound-up little motor.

He yawned and muttered, "I'll have to clean this deerskin properly today. I can make a cool deerskin coat and maybe even become a trendsetter in wilderness fashion!"

He hasn't found suitable materials to make clothes yet. He gave his shirt to Anlan to wear, and he himself wore pants and sheepskin.

After all, a girl wouldn't wander around in a sheepskin like him, and he wouldn't wear Anlan's clothes, so this deerskin was especially important and it was necessary to keep it.

An Lan was still asleep when Lu Fan tiptoed out of the shelter, afraid of waking her.

Arriving at the place where the deerskin was stored, and looking at the deerskin that still smelled of blood, Lu Fan rubbed his hands together, eager to try his hand at it.

He first found a clean, large rock, laid the deerskin flat on it, and then went to the spring to fetch a bucket of water, preparing to give the deerskin a "clean water bath".

"This deerskin is really thick. It will definitely be warm and durable when used to make clothes." As Lu Fan spoke, he splashed water on the deerskin, picked up a shovel, and began to scrape it vigorously.

The shovel rubbed against the deerskin, making a "swish, swish" sound, as if playing a unique song of labor.

After scraping and washing for a while, the bloodstains and impurities on the deerskin were cleaned away, revealing its original color.

Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction, then took out some special juice extracted from plants from the storage box.

These juices are all made by Anlan, and are said to have excellent preservative and tanning properties.

"Hey, little ones, it's your turn!" Lu Fan smiled as he evenly spread the juice on the deerskin, muttering as he did so, "Put on more, put on more, make my deerskin soft and strong."

After applying the juice, Lu Fan hung the deer hide on a thick tree branch to dry in the sunlight.

He stood to the side, staring at the deerskin, muttering from time to time, "Not bad, not bad, as expected of high-grade leather."

Just as Lu Fan was filled with anticipation, a mischievous little bird flew over and landed on a branch next to the deer hide.

It tilted its head, looking at the deer hide curiously. Suddenly, as if it had discovered something interesting, it pecked at the deer hide with its sharp beak.

"Hey, where did this silly bird come from? Stop messing around!" Lu Fan quickly ran over and waved his arms to scare the bird away.

The little bird was so frightened that it fluttered away. Lu Fan looked at the tiny peck mark on the deerskin and felt a pang of heartache: "Luckily it's just a small mark. If you had pecked a hole in it, I wouldn't have let you off the hook!"

After dealing with the bird's "attack," Lu Fan returned to the deer hide and continued to observe its drying process.

After a while, he felt that one side of the deerskin was almost dry, so he carefully turned it over and continued to dry it.

Before they knew it, the sun was high in the sky, and Anlan came out of the shelter.

She saw Lu Fan standing in front of the deerskin and asked with a smile, "Are you going to use the deerskin to make clothes?"

Lu Fan excitedly ran over and pulled An Lan to the deerskin: "Look, the pattern looks pretty good, right? Once it dries, I'll make a deerskin coat!"
