"How about this: you take the land route, and I'll help you pick the cotton. After I'm done, I'll bring the cotton and meet up with you."
This method...
After a long silence, everyone looked at Sang Ning.
Sang Ning had a headache. "The method you mentioned is feasible, but it's very difficult to actually implement it."
"First of all, you have nothing to stuff with cotton."
"Secondly, after you pick and pack all this cotton, transporting it away is also a problem."
Fang Jingxiu, "..."
Fang Jingxiu was stunned for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "You can teach me how to weave baskets, and I can use the baskets to pick cotton."
"As for something simpler to transport, I can make a raft, put the baskets full of cotton on the raft, secure them with vines, and then drag the raft along."
At this point, his eyes sparkled as he asked Sang Ning, "Do you think this is okay?"
Sang Ning nodded decisively, "Okay."
Looking at Emmanuel and the others, she said, "Let's still take the sea route. Louis will take care of the sea transportation. Fang Jingxiu is in a bad situation because he is alone. With so many of us helping and looking after each other, it should be much easier. What do you think?"
Emmanuel was the first to speak up, "I have no objection!"
Elliott: "I agree."
Clyde raised his hand. "I agree too, and I also agree on behalf of Peach and the others."
Luo Tianya looked left and right, then raised his hand. "I'll follow the main group."
Then, all eyes fell on Louis.
"And you?"
"My agreement is useless."
Louis spread his hands helplessly and said, "You've got a very crucial point wrong. The most important thing about traveling by sea is the means of transportation. The sea turtle is obviously the safest and most secure means of transportation."
"But the key problem now is that I don't know where the sea turtle is."
This is indeed a big problem.
"Can we summon the giant sea turtle?"
Mu Tao, who had returned at some point, said something to Louis, whose lips twitched as he replied, "I'm an armor maker, not a summoner, okay?"
"Summoning a giant sea turtle? That thing isn't mine, where am I supposed to summon it?"
"We have to give it a try."
Clyde earnestly advised, "Go and try to summon the giant sea turtle. If you can, we'll ride it; if not, we'll have to build a raft."
Louis, “???”
Louis looked at Sanning and the others and saw that their faces all showed their approval. He suddenly felt terrible.
He realized that his teammates not only dared to think, but also dared to put their ideas into action.
Can I refuse?
Louis wanted to refuse, but based on the principle of majority rule and the need to ensure he could eat in the future, he chose to compromise.
"I...I'll give it a try."
He said with great distress, "But I'm warning you beforehand, don't have too high hopes."
It's impossible not to have hope, but it's also certain that we can't place all our hopes on him.
So, in order to bring back plenty of cotton, Sanning began to assign tasks to Emmanuel and his men, implementing a division of labor system.
Emmanuel and Elliott went to cut down suitable trees to make a raft, while Clyde and Lothar went to cut bamboo and pick some fresh wild fruits and mushrooms.
While you're at it, bring back some game, anything that's meat will do.
Mu Tao and Mo Nai Nai returned from picking green coconuts and some mangoes as well.
As for Sang Ning and Fimonloya, they were busy preparing food for their trip.
Since flatbreads are filling, Sang Ning took out the flour and started kneading the dough to make flatbreads.
Boil wild eggs and bring them along, as well as dried duck, dried mushrooms, wood ear fungus, dried vegetables, and so on. Bring everything you can.
A day later, Louis still couldn't summon the giant sea turtle, but he did manage to summon a big fish.
However, this fish is not suitable as a means of transportation. Not only is its skin too slippery, but its body is also round, making it impossible for a person to maintain their balance when sitting on it.
Therefore, the big fish was abandoned.
In the end, Sang Ning and his group chose to travel by raft.
Only four people went on this trip; the rest stayed home to collect food, guard the house, and gather firewood to prepare for winter.
The day after the personnel were finalized, Sanning, Emmanuel, Elliott, and Louis, accompanied by Philoya and the others, arrived at the seaside with large baskets and backpacks filled with food and tools, as well as a raft for their journey.
"Be careful on the road!"
"Bon Voyage!"
"Hurry back, don't linger on the road, I'm worried we'll starve to death if it takes too long."
The sadness of parting vanished the moment Mu Tao said those words.
Sang Ning was both amused and exasperated. "It's not that exaggerated. There's also Clyde."
Clyde was utterly dejected. "I don't object to cooking, but I'm worried that these guys will make things worse when I'm cooking."
This is something Mu Tao and his group would do.
They're clearly terrible cooks, but they still like to act like they're giving you a grand tour of the country, pretending to teach you how to cook, and saying things like adding this or that will make the food taste better.
If you disagree, they might take advantage of your inattention and do it first, throwing the food into the pot without consulting you first.
As it turns out, food that they recommended or added ingredients to, while not necessarily so bad it could kill you, also provided an experience and taste that you would never want to try again in your lifetime.
Emmanuel bluntly stated, "Let them help you if they want; they're the ones who will suffer the consequences anyway."
Elliott hummed in agreement. "At worst, you can cook for yourself and let them eat the bad stuff."
That's a great idea! Clyde's eyes lit up immediately.
Mu Tao and the others turned pale and raised their hands to swear that they would absolutely not help.
However, their credibility had long since collapsed. Sang Ning and the others didn't know whether others would believe what they said, but they certainly wouldn't.
"Anyway, take care of yourselves, we're leaving now."
Sang Ning instructed, "Remember to take good care of the monkey head mushroom."
The monkey head mushroom that was supposed to see them off didn't show up today; Sang Ning sprinkled it with sweet dream powder instead.
My main concern is that she will follow me.
Therefore, to avoid trouble, it's best to just let her fall asleep.
By the time she wakes up, Sang Ning and the others will have already left. So, any trouble she causes will be directed at Mu Tao and the others, and won't concern them.
So, after seeing Sang Ning and the others off, Mu Tao and the others returned to find a crescent-shaped bear that had woken up to find no one there and was throwing a tantrum.
Then···
That was the end of it.
Mu Tao and her companions, who were plunged into a miserable life, lived a life of love and hate with the monkey head mushroom.
Sang Ning and the others boarded a raft and headed towards Fang Jingxiu's location.
The vast ocean stretches as far as the eye can see.
The scorching sun shone down from the sky, scattering golden light across the sea, making it shimmer and sparkle.
A salty sea breeze blew by, and ripples spread across the sea.
