"Just bear with it." Lu Wuyai gently patted the general's body, and as it roared, he suddenly pulled out the stone with force.
No blood spurted out; the stone had simply pierced deep into the muscle, without causing significant damage.
Alas.
The general looked utterly defeated and lay on the ground groaning incessantly.
Lu Wuyai checked it carefully again to make sure there were no problems, and then started busying himself with moving the stones.
However, to ensure his safety once again, he flew his drone into the bushes. He didn't spot any animals, including tigers, along the way, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Soon, Lu Wuyai had loaded all the stones from the stream onto the handcart.
Because of Lu Wuyai's greed, he brought too many stones, which delayed his return to the off-road vehicle by one day, even though it should have taken two days.
He was exhausted when he saw the off-road vehicle.
After finally putting the stone into the car, Lu Wuyai called the injured general into the car, but an unexpected accident occurred.
This time, the general couldn't get into the car; he was completely stuck in the door frame. Finally, Lu Wuyai exerted tremendous effort and managed to pull him out.
"Have you grown up?" Lu Wuyai looked up at the general and realized that he now had to look up to him.
It was obviously not like this when he came, but now this general is a head bigger than Lu Wuyai in both body and height.
Moreover, looking at the scratch marks on the door frame, Lu Wuyai noticed that the general's claws were sharper than before.
All these changes reminded Lu Wuyai of what had happened before.
Finally, he turned his gaze to the black stones.
The general's transformation began with his injury, and the cause of the injury was that stone.
"When we get back, we need to have Song Xiaoyou study this carefully..." Lu Wuyai said to himself.
Clearly, this stone is not simple.
Since the general was injured and unable to enter the vehicle, after much deliberation, Lu Wuyai had no choice but to arrange for him to be placed on the roof of the vehicle so as not to delay the process.
And so, two days and one night later, Lu Wuyai led the general back to the cave.
Inside the tomb, Song Xiaoyou was clearly pleased to see that Lu Wuyai had brought back so many black stones.
But when she heard news of the general, her eyes fell into a thoughtful expression.
"First, put the stones into the plastic bucket and seal it tightly."
Lu Wuyai quickly understood Song Xiaoyou's meaning. She was probably worried that unexpected things might happen to these stones without a clear study of them.
Soon, Lu Wuyai found several used diesel drums and put the black stones inside one by one. As for the larger ones, he simply threw them near the swimming pool.
By the time I finished all this, it was just getting dark.
Lu Wuyai stood outside, watching the sunset, which, like fire, dyed the clouds on the horizon red.
At that moment, a drone landed in front of him and performed several difficult flying skills, as if showing off.
Soon, two people emerged from the woods opposite the rocky hill. They were Su Xi and Jin Xilu.
The moment Su Xi saw Lu Wuyai, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and then, like a butterfly, she flew into Lu Wuyai's arms amidst Jin Xilu's slightly envious gaze.
The next second, Lu Wuyai felt himself sinking into a ball of incredibly soft and elastic cotton. A faint milky scent made him involuntarily take a few more breaths.
Finally, Su Xi, blushing, pushed Lu Wuyai away. He had almost been executed on the spot.
“There are still people watching,” Su Xi said angrily.
Lu Wuyai touched his nose, raised his head slightly, and found that Jin Xilu had just turned her back, seemingly unable to bear looking at her.
The three people, dressed in the rose-colored clothes given to them by dusk, entered the cave. Lu Wuyai covered the cave entrance, and the stone mountain fell into a long silence.
In the herb garden inside the cave, others were busy continuing to cultivate various kinds of herbs.
Last time, a large portion of the medicinal herbs they received were not planted. The reason was that the medicinal herb garden was still too small. Song Xiaoyou and the others had to grow the herbs in containers.
“We need to expand the area of the medical park.” As soon as Lu Wuyai entered the tomb chamber, he heard Song Xiaoyou say this to him.
"..."
Lu Wuyai was speechless for a moment, but seeing the dense plants in the herb garden, he couldn't help but sigh that they had indeed collected too many herbs recently.
Ginseng alone occupies one-eighth of the land, not even counting its cultivated "offspring".
"We need to collect more medicinal herbs." Song Xiaoyou took out a few more sheets of paper from the table and handed them to Lu Wuyai.
Lu Wuyai glanced at the items and sighed to himself. The work of collecting herbs was probably far from over, and he didn't even know if these things actually existed on the deserted island.
"Next week, the second phase of plant essence development will begin." Song Xiaoyou looked at the two women lying on the bed, her eyes slightly tired.
Here, Lu Wuyai told Song Xiaoyou to take good care of herself, but not to overwork herself.
Song Xiaoyou nodded, her beautiful face always appearing calm.
While the others were still busy in the herb garden, Lu Wuyai didn't want to join in the fun. He stayed in the cave for the time being, watching Song Xiaoyou work on various machines.
As time went by, Lu Wuyai felt that Song Xiaoyou seemed to have become a different person, completely different from the one she was in her student days.
A long silence ensued in the cave, which caused subtle changes in the hearts of the two.
As Lu Wuyai watched Song Xiaoyou's retreating figure, he unconsciously thought of what had happened in the container that day. That moonlit curve appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in his heart.
His relationship with Song Xiaoyou seemed to have undergone an irreversible change from that day on.
Finally, it was Song Xiaoyou who broke the ice.
"White Wolf is due to give birth in the next few days. If you have time, prepare some blood-replenishing food."
“Yes.” Lu Wuyai spoke up, then nodded, thinking about how to prepare blood food for the white wolf.
Around 8 o'clock, several women came out of the herb garden, looked at Lu Wuyai who was standing on the ground in a daze, and began to complain about why he hadn't prepared dinner.
"I really admire you." Su Xi tossed the shovel in her hand to Lu Wuyai, and together with Yu Mengrou, they crawled into the hole to prepare dinner.
Jin Xilu lagged behind, bending down to clean the mud off his feet.
Perhaps the clothes were too tight, but more likely they were too voluptuous. When Jin Xilu bent over, Lu Wuyai's full figure made Lu Wuyai unable to straighten up, especially with the wide-open neckline facing him and her two trembling legs. This mountain peak suddenly ignited a lustful fire in Lu Wuyai.
If Song Xiaoyou hadn't been by his side, Lu Wuyai might have revealed his bestial side.
As for Jin Xilu, she wiped the mud off her feet, looked up at Lu Wuyai, whose eyes were red and he seemed impulsive. Her face suddenly flushed, she turned around and ran into the tunnel.
Watching the woman disappear, Lu Wuyai took a breath, closed his eyes, and suppressed his thoughts.
"Spending too much time with these women is really making my self-control weaker and weaker." Lu Wuyai opened his eyes again, looked at the small umbrella beneath him, and shook his head.
After finishing their meal, everyone went to their own cubicles to rest, but not long after, the faint meowing of stray cats could be heard, which made everyone feel ashamed.
The next morning, Lu Wuyai emerged from the container, feeling refreshed and invigorated. Thinking back on the dramatic events of the previous night, a smile lingered on his face, suggesting he hadn't quite gotten over it.
"It's time to prepare blood food for the white wolf."
Soon, Lu Wuyai left the cave and appeared on the stone mountain bathed in the morning light.
Today is a good day; the sky is cloudless and filled with golden light.
Lu Wuyai stretched and gazed at the tranquil forest beyond the rocky mountain. Recently, the grass and trees here had grown wildly, returning to their pre-tsunami state, and even more lush than before.
During the hot summer, forest animals are more active than in winter and spring.
"General!" Lu Wuyai called out a few times as he entered the forest, and a huge sheepdog immediately ran out. Its mane was covered with cold morning dew, its black tongue lolled out, and it looked very docile.
Not far away, a huge white wolf walked with elegant steps and stopped five meters away from Lu Wuyai.
Seeing this, Lu Wuyai was not surprised; instead, he praised Bai Lang's vigilance.
This distance was precisely the optimal distance from which Lu Wuyai could react.
Animals need to eat meat, especially wild wolves like white wolves, which need a lot of fresh meat every day.
Moreover, now that White Wolf is pregnant, eating only military rations and human food will only lead to malnutrition in the long run, causing irreversible consequences.
"Let's go to the orchard," Lu Wuyai said, stroking the general's chin. The general murmured contentedly.
After playing
Soon, the general came to Bai Lang's side and rushed into the fruit grove with Lu Wuyai.
The reason we went to the orchard was because behind it was a sparsely wooded forest full of rabbit burrows. A large part of the reason the eagles liked to come to the orchard was because of the wild rabbits.
Lu Wuyai ran ahead, his body making the sound of the wind in the forest.
Unbeknownst to him, even he was surprised by the change in speed, because even the general and the white wolf could hardly keep up with his pace.
Of course, Lu Wuyai always felt dizzy when he stopped, which seemed to have drained a lot of his energy.
An hour later, Lu Wuyai stopped outside the orchard, his eyes sparkling. He waved to the general and the white wolf behind him. There were already many wild rabbits in the forest.
Perhaps because of the previous tsunami, the eagles no longer appeared in the orchard as frequently, so the number of wild rabbits increased significantly.
When they saw the rabbits, the general and the white wolf immediately rushed forward.
Although the white wolf was pregnant, his skills were clearly no less than the general's. He bit a rabbit that had just jumped out of its burrow to death, then threw it aside and continued hunting the next rabbit.
In this way, Lu Wuyai became the freest, and could take a walk in the orchard whenever he had time.
Speaking of which, he had never been to every corner of this fruit tree.
Starting from the edge of the cliff, Lu Wuyai walked around the outermost edge of the orchard, looking at the fruit trees that grew from small to large, and slowly wondered why so many fruit trees grew in the same place.
He had never thought about this question before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he finds it incredible.
Moreover, the orchard contains many kinds of fruit trees. If someone hadn't deliberately planted them here, Lu Wuyai would never have believed that this was a naturally formed forest.
However, after so many visits to the fruit orchard, Lu Wuyai still could not find any trace of any other humans or survivors.
It seems that this orchard is Shiqiu's backyard, and only they themselves know it.
Lu Wuyai took out a few plastic bags from his pocket, picked some yellow-skinned wild pears, and prepared to take them back for others to taste.
After walking for about half an hour, Lu Wuyai looked back at the cliff. At this time, there was no trace of the white wolf or the general, but he could hear a faint hissing sound.
There are now a large number of wild rabbits in the fruit orchard where Lu Wuyai is located and at the foot of the cliff. After a spring "stimulation", there are even signs that they have become an infestation.
"Speak it out."
Lu Wuyai pulled the trigger, and the arrow immediately struck a wild rabbit.
"Recently, my eyesight seems to have become much sharper," Lu Wuyai whispered. Whether it was marksmanship or archery, he felt like he could hit wherever he pointed.
It's like the illusion that your hands can instantly grasp something.
Continuing to circle the orchard, Lu Wuyai arrived at the woods on the cliff. The fruit trees here weren't very large, and the sunlight was rather weak. This resulted in the wild fruits nearby being mostly dark green, including some so green that they could be seen at night. There were many of them.
Even after a spring has passed, the branches are still laden with green fruit.
Regarding this amazing fruit, Gu Yuxin and Song Xiaoyou discovered that it contains a certain volatile substance, making it difficult to study what it actually is.
Lu Wuyai looked up, searched around, and found some particularly large, greenish-yellow fruits. He was thirsty, so he picked them and ate them directly.
"A hissing sound." Lu Wuyai took a breath. The sourness was several times stronger than that of the small green fruits. It almost gave him a toothache.
But the aftertaste is surprisingly sweet.
This juice, which is sour at first and then sweet, gives people an absolutely refreshing feeling in the middle of summer.
At first, Lu Wuyai thought it was because of the season that the unripe fruits tasted more mature, but in fact, those small unripe fruits were still sour.
And so, Lu Wuyai understood that only large, green fruits with black spots on their skin were both sour and sweet and delicious.
Back at the cliff edge, Lu Wuyai ate no fewer than ten large green fruits by himself. He felt his ears and eyes were clear, his body seemed to have been completely drained, and he felt extremely relaxed.
"There are so many wild fruits that we can't eat them all, and they grow back again with the spring breeze." Lu Wuyai clicked his tongue in surprise.
At this moment, the cliff was covered with a layer of rabbit carcasses, which did indeed give people a slightly terrifying feeling.
However, the white wolf ate very slowly, just like a normal person eating. The general even groomed its fur to make it as comfortable as possible.
Alas.
When the general met Lu Wuyai, the latter threw several apples at him.
“You should eat something too.” Lu Wuyai took a large green fruit out of the bag and placed it in front of the white wolf.
The white wolf didn't refuse, gently touching the fruit with the tip of its nose, revealing a surprised expression. It even approached Lu Wuyai, tore open the bag with its canine teeth, and rolled the large green fruit inside onto the ground.
Lu Wuyai was a little confused, but seeing Bai Lang's actions, he immediately knew that these large green fruits were definitely not simple.
Because the white wolf is not simple; it doesn't look like an ordinary white-haired wolf at all.
However, Lu Wuyai did not stop the other person from eating the large green fruit. After all, there were many more like it at the bottom of the cliff; in the worst-case scenario, he would gain more when he returned.
It was already noon. Lu Wuyai looked at the wild rabbit on the ground and rubbed his belly. He suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
He immediately decided not to return to the cave. Instead, he lit a fire and began to deal with the rabbits on the ground.
Perhaps because they live far from society, the animals on the island are mostly very clean, without deformities or strange parasites. Therefore, sometimes they don't clean them but just barbecue them, so there aren't any major hygiene problems.
Soon, the aroma of roasted rabbit began to fill the air. It was a cooked smell, unlike the smell of bloody food.
"Try it," Lu Wuyai said to Bai Lang.
The wolf's large head nodded slightly, then took a bite of the roasted rabbit in Lu Wuyai's right hand.
Seeing the wolf chewing heartily, Lu Wuyai stood up, squatted down next to the white wolf, and gently stroked its chin with his hand.
The white wolf immediately stopped chewing the rabbit, tilted its head, and looked at Lu Wuyai.
On the other side, the general also stood up, whimpering as if afraid that the white wolf would bite Lu Wuyai to death.
A few seconds, or perhaps a few minutes later, the white wolf continued to eat the rabbit with its head down, while using one of its legs to move the bloody rabbit on the ground to Lu Wuyai's side.
Seeing Bai Lang's actions, Lu Wuyai could neither laugh nor cry.
In fact, when we were in the cave, we often fed the white wolves cooked food, but they always ignored us.
Judging from her current appearance, it is highly likely that White Wolf's tastes changed during her late pregnancy.
With that in mind, Lu Wuyai began to deal with the rabbit carcass on the ground.
Meanwhile, perhaps finding the flames too small, the general left the cliff and returned with a large amount of dry firewood in his mouth.
This gave Lu Wuyai a new understanding of the general's intelligence.
So the rabbit barbecue lasted for the entire afternoon, finally ending at dusk and sunset.
By this time, in the orchard, the rabbit's carcass had become a pile of bones. A wolf, a dog, and a man lay on the ground, seemingly unfinished.
"By the way, have you two eaten enough?" Lu Wuyai let out a soft burp. He had probably eaten more than thirty meals that afternoon, but he still felt hungry.
Alas.
Bai Lang and the general each let out a low cry, arching their heads and leaning against Lu Wuyai, as if urging him to return to Shishan.
So, under the twilight lights, Lu Wuyai began to walk back. As for the general and the white wolf, they vanished in an instant.
Back at the hill, Lu Wuyai didn't immediately return to the cave. Instead, he stood on a pane of glass, watching the busy woman inside.
