There are currently dozens of pheasants in the coop. Under normal circumstances, each hen will lay eggs within 1-2 days. The number of eggs alone is sufficient to meet their daily needs.
However, accidents can happen, so they must plan ahead, especially with measures to protect themselves from the cold.
“Wild boar hide is very good,” Jin Xilu said, while Song Xiaoyou translated for everyone.
Lu Wuyai nodded. Pigskin is indeed very useful for keeping warm, but the smell of pigs is really strong, and it needs to be exposed to the sun and washed for a long time to be effective.
However, it is currently unknown whether sun-dried and washed pigskin has any effect on keeping warm.
As part of the plan to keep warm, pigskin is also a natural candidate.
On the way back, Anna and the others lamented that they had fewer and fewer clothes. They were afraid that in a few months, even covering their bodies would be a problem, let alone keeping warm.
When the topic came up, Su Xi punched Lu Wuyai, warning him not to have any bad ideas.
Lu Wuyai shrugged, his expression gradually becoming serious.
Warm clothing is of utmost importance.
The problem now is that they can't buy clothes. They can't just sit on the beach and wait for clothes to fall from the sky.
Lu Wuyai shook his head and suddenly noticed some fresh animal droppings on the grass where he had come from.
“It’s a wolf,” Song Xiaoyou said.
Living on a deserted island for five months made each of them particularly sensitive to certain things.
These fresh animal droppings, even if not from wolves, are still from other predators.
However, the chances of encountering wolves during the day are really low. At least for Lu Wuyai and the others, they had never encountered a pack of wolves directly in the sunlight.
But this time, they completely miscalculated.
A mountain breeze blew by, and Lu Wuyai sniffed, a faint fishy smell wafting towards him.
At that very moment, a dangerous signal flashed through Lu Wuyai's mind, like a bullet piercing through him. Lu Wuyai instinctively stepped in front of him to block it.
His hand was on his waist, and he was holding an axe.
At the foot of the mountain north of the precipitous peak, in the grass more than half a meter high, a wolf leaped up, opened its blood-red maw, and bit Lu Wuyai hard.
The wolf ran very fast. By the time Lu Wuyai reacted, he was already about to be bitten, and the axe in his hand was instantly blocked in front of his chest.
A man and a wolf collided, creating a tremendous impact. Then, more wolves appeared in the grass.
At that moment, everyone panicked, and Anna immediately ran towards the dangerous peak.
However, the wolf is obviously faster.
A huge gray wolf caught up with Anna at a sprint of 100 meters, stretched out its claws, and pulled hard on her heavy rump.
As a result, both the man and the wolf slipped and fell to the ground because of the slippery road due to the rain.
Looking down at the foot of the mountain, a pack of wolves suddenly appeared, and Lu Wuyai, who was the first to be hit, was almost cut into pieces.
Finally, Song Xiaoyou fired his gun, scaring away the wolves and saving the lives of the others.
Air is the most terrifying form of security; the previous harrowing experience is unforgettable for everyone.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, looking at his pants that had been torn by the wolves, while Jin Xilu suddenly burst into tears.
It turned out that a wolf had just bitten Kim Seok-rok's arm. The wound caused by the wolf's sharp teeth reminded the woman of rabies from being startled.
Lu Wuyai's heart sank. Those wolves before were all madmen. It was impossible for Jin Xilu to have contracted this virus with a 100% fatality rate.
Although Lu Wuyai usually only treated her as a tool, no matter how much he used, he would develop feelings for her, especially since Jin Xilu was also an extremely beautiful tool.
Thinking of this, Lu Wuyai urged everyone to return to Xianfeng quickly and treat their wounds as soon as possible.
Jin Xilu, who was crying loudly, quickly went to the stream and thoroughly washed the wound with soap to ensure that it would not be infected.
“Let’s observe for a few days. These wolves may not carry the rabies virus,” Su Xi reassured her.
Everyone returned to the station, but because of what happened with the wolf, no one was in high spirits, especially Kim Hee-ro, who looked depressed and dejected, as if she thought she was going to die.
Lu Wuyai shook his head, checked the pistol, and led the three puppies back to the lawn.
Song Xiaoyou had previously shot and killed a wolf, its body still exposed in the air.
Half an hour later, Lu Wuyai dragged a gray wolf, about the size of a calf, to the stream and washed the carcass as quickly as possible.
When he cut open the wolf's stomach, he found an undigested hand. From the outside, it looked like a woman's arm.
For some reason, seeing this scene made Lu Wuyai feel very heavy-hearted. He couldn't help but think of Su Xi and the others, especially Yu Yuxia, and his heart ached slightly.
By the stream, Lu Wuyai skinned the wolf. Animal hides are a good natural material for making clothes. Of course, they really smelled terrible.
The wolf pelts were quite large. Lu Wuyai tried them on and found that two pelts could make a set of clothes. If they could kill a few wolves before winter arrived, they would be able to get through the cold winter relatively easily.
Unfortunately, as wolves are at the top of the food chain, they are really difficult to kill.
Lu Wuyai wasn't that skilled; he actually managed to kill the wolf with a gun. After all, it was a moving target. Their marksmanship wasn't superb, so naturally they used fewer bullets.
Therefore, we still need to find another way to make winter clothes.
At 2 p.m., the temperature had reached its highest point of the day, but the mountain breeze brought a slight chill.
Lu Wuyai was wearing a t-shirt. He and Song Xiaoyou were going to the forest west of the lawn to find something useful for them.
After all, the vastness of the deserted island had already won them over, and they were now conquering the forest with their own footsteps.
Before leaving the station, they determined their route and tried to get back to the station before dark.
Stepping down from the lawn, Lu Wuyai looked at the messy weeds and sighed inwardly, remembering the wolf he had encountered here before noon.
"I hope everyone who is alive can live in peace and safety." Lu Wuyai shook his head and strode after Song Xiaoyou.
It's already 3 o'clock, and there are still three hours until it gets dark.
Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou kept walking along the way, keeping their bodies very low, for fear of encountering any unnecessary trouble.
In this forest, the air is dry, and the trees are not very dense. Occasionally, you might see some cats and wild animals, but most of them won't cause you any harm.
Some felines are very afraid of people, but during the day, even when they are in groups, they prefer to live in shady places and rarely appear in the forest.
Rarely, Lu Wuyai looked at the few withered cat corpses on the ground. There were many such incidents along the way.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Xiaoyou suddenly ran forward and dug twice with a shovel.
After a while, a yellow stick appeared in Song Xiaoyou's hand.
"What the hell is this thing?" Lu Wuyai was completely baffled.
"Astragalus is a kind of Chinese medicine," Song Xiaoyou said calmly, handing the stick to Lu Wuyai and telling him to go back and make old mountain chicken soup.
Out of curiosity, Lu Wuyai put the astragalus on the tip of his tongue and tasted it. His face immediately contorted in shock.
"Winnie's is too bitter."
"Good medicine tastes bitter, but it is good for the disease."
"What is this?" Lu Wuyai looked at Song Xiaoyou as she suddenly squatted down and followed her gaze. He saw a dark green plant dotted with red pills.
Ginseng
As a result, half an hour later, Song Xiaoyou had a ginseng root in his hand that looked very good. It had a lot of ginseng veins, densely packed together and exposed to the air, giving people a refreshing and invigorating feeling.
"It really is ginseng." Lu Wuyai's mouth dropped open. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever seen the entire process of a ginseng being discovered and dug up.
Song Xiaoyou smiled and stuffed the ginseng into Lu Wuyai's arms.
"Let's go back and make chicken soup."
"Hmm," Lu Wuyai nodded, looking at Song Xiaoyou's voluptuous figure under her clothes, and suddenly felt that this trip was more fruitful than expected.
However, Lu Wuyai also realized that this mountain forest seemed different from before, otherwise why would Song Xiaoyou have found these things here.
"Song Xiaoyou, what did you do at home before?" Lu Wuyai asked curiously. Having acquired this ability, Song Xiaoyou stuffed a piece of yellow earth into her belly, claiming it was a medicinal herb that would help her conceive in the future.
She's pregnant. Lu Wuyai doubted if he had heard it.
Song Xiaoyou said, "I used to get sick often, but my family didn't have any money, so I often went up the mountain to get medicine myself."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wuyai could imagine a girl carrying a basket, struggling to go in and out of the mountains.
Seemingly noticing Lu Wuyai's strange look, Song Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "Actually, it's not bad, not as bad as you think."
“My neighbors help me cook and do laundry. There are still many good people in this world.”
Lu Wuyai nodded, his attention gradually returning to him as he kept a close eye on the situation on the mountain and in the fields.
Before they knew it, it was 4:30, and a cliff appeared before them. Lu Wuyai was about to tell Song Xiaoyou that they could go back, but a mountain breeze blew in, bringing with it a strange, spicy smell.
A sneeze.
Lu Wuyai sneezed. At first, he thought he had caught a cold, but he soon noticed that the pungent smell in the wind was getting stronger, and Song Xiaoyou also started sneezing.
"What is this?" Lu Wuyai rubbed his nose and subconsciously looked up at the cliff.
As a result, Lu Wuyai's eyes widened in surprise.
"chili"
"Song Xiaoyou, there are chili peppers at the bottom of the cliff!" Lu Wuyai's excited voice made Song Xiaoyou tremble. Then, he walked over with the same excitement, lay down on the cliff, and looked down.
Three dark green plants stretched out from the bottom of the cliff. Their tops were covered with bright red berries, creating a vibrant display of color. One of them had already exploded, and the spicy aroma that had wafted from it was coming from there.
"Oh My God."
"How do we rescue them?" Lu Wuyai asked.
The first time Lu Wuyai saw chili peppers, he wanted to keep them for himself. Although he had plenty to eat and drink during this time, he always felt something was missing, and chili peppers were an indispensable part of the food.
Song Xiaoyou swallowed hard, leaned out, and tried to grab the chili peppers.
However, the chili pepper's position is awkward. To catch it with bare hands, you would have to extend two-thirds of your body, leaving you almost entirely suspended in mid-air.
Lu Wuyai stood up and began to untie the rescue rope around his waist. When he went out, he and Song Xiaoyou each took two ropes, which were now usable.
There was a large tree on the cliff with deep roots. Lu Wuyai tied one end of the rescue rope to the tree trunk, and then tied the other end to his waist and legs.
"I'll go downstairs, you can take a look at it for me."
"Xiaoxiao, be careful."
Lu Wuyai nodded to Song Xiaoyou, then began to lean out of the cliff.
In less than an instant, he was suspended in mid-air, his heart pounding wildly, and he felt his entire soul slowly leaving his body.
Fortunately, a familiar spicy smell wafted in the air, instantly waking him up.
"Don't think too much." Lu Wuyai bit his tongue and slowly floated towards the pepper seedling.
On the other side, Song Xiaoyou was constantly monitoring the friction between the rescue rope and the rocks, and was also very nervous.
Although he had made preparations beforehand, Lu Wuyai's speed was still much slower than expected.
Below the cliff, Lu Wuyai's eyes suddenly widened. Between three chili pepper trees lay a small green snake. He hadn't looked closely before, but now he was about to touch the peppers. This sight filled Lu Wuyai with dread once more.
“We can’t get any closer.” Lu Wuyai grabbed the rope and swung it violently, then slowly moved his body closer to the rock wall to the side.
Gulu
Lu Wuyai nervously swallowed. The small green snake opposite him had raised its triangular head, its scarlet core swallowing and spitting. It looked extremely ferocious.
Lu Wuyai took out a homemade sickle from his pocket, and when he stepped back into the rock wall, he waved it at the green snake, trying to drive it away.
Unexpectedly, the little green snake jumped up on the spot, its mouth wide open, and the venom dripping from its long, thin fangs was clearly visible.
Startled, Lu Wuyai brandished his weapon on the spot. In his haste, he accidentally cut his own rope.
Crunch crunch
The rope immediately made a taut sound, a sound that served as a warning, causing Lu Wuyai's entire body to stiffen.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai was so frightened that his sickle brushed against the rescue rope, almost completely severing it.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Lu Wuyai picked the pepper seedlings and carried them up little by little, thus avoiding the danger of the rescue rope breaking down.
As his feet touched the ground, Lu Wuyai's entire body went limp. Thinking of the terrifying scene just now, of how he almost died and how he had miraculously survived, he couldn't help but break out in a few more beads of sweat.
"I'm not dead yet," Lu Wuyai suddenly looked at Song Xiaoyou and said.
Song Xiaoyou blinked, but before she could react, Lu Wuyai hugged her tightly, his fair cheeks instantly turning red to his neck.
Fortunately, Lu Wuyai only stood there for a few seconds, then laughed like a madman looking at the chili pepper in his hand.
"Song Xiaoyou, this is a chili pepper."
On the cliff, Lu Wuyai stared at the red chili peppers with the ecstasy of a fool. They looked more like fruit. Each one resembled a cherry tomato, but emitted the same spiciness as chili peppers.
Song Xiaoyou smiled. Back in her school days, she could afford to eat a few red chili-flavored steamed buns.
The roots of the three chili pepper plants were almost intact. If planted properly, there should be another harvest before the cold winter arrives.
More importantly, the discovery of chili peppers on the cliff suggests that similar things are likely to exist elsewhere on the deserted island.
"Let's go back first, and we'll look for it again when we have time," Lu Wuyai said to Song Xiaoyou.
By this time, it was already getting dark, and the light in the forest was becoming increasingly dim. The two moved quickly back and forth, and in less than an hour, they saw a gentle slope in the distance.
Anna was washing clothes along the gentle slope. Because she was far away, she didn't see anyone coming.
In this way, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou arrived on the gentle slope the moment Anna emerged from the water.
The beautiful woman emerged from the shower; she was also a large, curvaceous woman. The stunning visuals and the kind of figure only seen in comic books made any man want to pounce on her.
As a result, Lu Wuyai's nose started bleeding.
With a whoosh.
Even so, Lu Wuyai's eyes remained fixed on Anna; her perfect body could never be erased from his mind.
Anna's face turned as red as blood. No one expected Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou to return at this time.
With an hour to go before dark, Anna had assumed they wouldn't be able to get back to the station before nightfall.
A blush rose to Song Xiaoyou's face. She lowered her head, turned around, and blocked Lu Wuyai's view.
At that moment, Anna was already dressed and, with her long, snow-white legs, left this place of trouble.
Lu Wuyai swallowed hard, feeling a pain in his throat.
"This is so exciting," Lu Wuyai thought to himself.
When Anna returned to the station, she noticed that Lu Wuyai seemed very uncomfortable. While the people of the Eagle Nation are known for their generosity and open-mindedness, there are limits.
As for Lu Wuyai, his eyes were filled with burning passion as he looked at Anna; the demon in his heart was always stirring.
On a deserted island, once a person's desires are guided, they can easily get out of control.
As a result, the atmosphere in the crowd became somewhat unfamiliar and quiet.
As darkness fell, Lu Wuyai looked at Su Xi with red eyes, but in the end, he left the station alone and came to the woods at the foot of the gentle slope.
When he returned, the campfire was already lit. Lu Wuyai had vented his desires and was much calmer.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Xi asked, feeling that Lu Wuyai's previous returns were strange.
“Okay, Lu Wuyai shook his head, but then he suddenly thought of these three chili pepper plants and asked if they were grown well.”
Su Xi pointed to a corner of the station. Three chili pepper trees stood intact on the ground. Even in the darkness, the red chili peppers looked exceptionally tempting.
At this point, Kim Seok-rok reached into a pile of charcoal and pulled out a roasted chicken, a faint spicy aroma wafting out.
Without a doubt, the aroma of chili and lard on this roasted chicken made Lu Wuyai's mouth water.
"This is so delicious!" Lu Wuyai couldn't help but say, his hands already tearing a chicken leg off the roast chicken.
