At this moment, Lu Wuyai was certain that this was not a mirage, but a real thing.
The banks of the stream are covered with pebbles the size of cobblestones. These pebbles form a riverbed, carrying the stream's water from north to south, eventually pooling it in a small pond.
Lu Wuyai jumped onto a rock, then squatted down, picked up the water in his hand, and was about to put it in his mouth.
At this point, Song Xiaoyou stopped her in time.
"First of all, wait a minute, I don't know if I can drink this."
Hearing this, Lu Wuyai was startled, but quickly nodded. After all, this was a desolate place, and no one could tell what was in the water.
The two left one after the other and sat quietly in the woods on the rocky hill.
It wasn't until five o'clock that they saw several rabbits hopping out of the forest opposite the rocky hill. Their hair was gray, as if they had just crawled out of the ground.
Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.
There is not only a stream here, but also living creatures.
Thinking about the roasted rabbit meat he would soon be eating, Lu Wuyai couldn't help but swallow hard. It looked so delicious!
Soon, the little rabbits were squatting by the stream, sticking out their pink tongues to lick the water. Clearly, they came here often.
Seeing that the rabbits were drinking water without any problem, Lu Wuyai couldn't resist his thirst either, so he took Song Xiaoyou to the stream.
As a result, the group of rabbits scattered and went straight into the forest.
At this point, the two lowered their heads and quickly poured out the water.
Looking at the clear water source, Lu Wuyai took a long breath and drank it all in one gulp.
The sweet taste, at this moment, surpasses any other beverage.
Song Xiaoyou couldn't help but say, "That's so thoughtful!"
Lu Wuyai drank several mouthfuls in succession. His thirst of the past few days was finally relieved, and even tears slid down his cheeks.
"We finally survived."
Lu Wuyai roared, causing a flock of birds to fly wildly through the forest.
After resting for a while, Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou filled their water bottles with water and prepared to leave.
Occasionally, Song Xiaoyou would also find some fruit trees on the rocky hill, laden with wild fruits the size of fists. After knocking them down, she would carry them along with her clothes, revealing a section of her fair belly, which was quite tempting.
Lu Wuyai quickly looked away, worried that he would lose control of himself.
Lu Wuyai and Song Xiaoyou almost ran back just to share the good news with others.
When they arrived at the station, it was still dark. Yu Mengru and Ye Meng knelt on the ground weeding, preparing to spend the night there.
Dong Bingling was still asleep; it was rare for her to be so quiet.
"You're back." Yu Yuxia's voice was hoarse, her face bitter, and she could hardly speak fluently anymore.
Suddenly, Lu Wuyai reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"water"
"It really is water!" Yu Yuxia was so excited that she fainted on the spot.
Oh my god
Lu Wuyai glared at her, then quickly supported her and pinched her to bring Yu Yuxin back to her senses.
"You, your hand..." Gu Yuxin's face flushed red. When she first woke up, she felt something strange in her chest.
It turned out that Lu Wuyai was too nervous just now, and while supporting Yu Yuxin, his other hand instinctively covered her chest.
Lu Wuyai suddenly burst into laughter and hurriedly let go of her hand.
Yu Yuxia glared at him fiercely, a slight tremor running through her heart. It seemed that this little brat, Lu Wuyai, had been taking advantage of her ever since they arrived on this island.
But soon, Yu Yuxia's attention was drawn to the fresh water.
Meanwhile, Su Xi was already drinking water. She asked, panting, "Did you find a water source?"
"We've found it, so we don't have to worry about water shortages anymore."
Lu Wuyai's words made them very happy, and some even cried.
"It's still early, let's go right away."
Without waiting until tomorrow, Lu Wuyai told them to pack their things, while he carried the unconscious Gu Yuxin on his back and jogged towards the stone mountain.
Finally, before nightfall, they reached the rocky mountain.
The stream shimmered, reflecting the last rays of the setting sun. Everyone stood on the rocky hill, gazing at the scene before them, tears welling in their eyes.
"We finally have water."
When Dong Bingling woke up, she screamed with joy. However, she lost her footing and tumbled down the rocky hill. A group of people, terrified, rushed after her for help and then caught her.
"Please be a little more steady," Yu Mengru said angrily, raising her hand to slap Dong Bingling's bottom.
Therefore, Lu Wuyai saw Gu Yuxin's curves rolling in waves, and his eyes went straight ahead.
I haven't eaten or drunk anything for the past few days, but I feel that these women have gotten better figures.
After a while, it got dark, and Lu Wuyai said, "It's getting dark now. Let's go upstream first thing tomorrow morning."
Over the next few hours, everyone took flashlights and returned to the other side of the rocky hill, collecting firewood along the way, and soon a campfire was lit.
Flame is both warmth and light.
Although we finally found a water source and everyone ate fruit to fill their stomachs, no one could sleep and everyone was planning what would happen after tonight.
Then, Lu Wuyai remembered the wild rabbit he had seen earlier and turned to look at Song Xiaoyou.
"Is the laptop still there? Let me see it."
Lu Wuyai remembered that the rescue team members had some traps listed in their notebooks. They could try them. Maybe they'd have food by this time tomorrow.
"Here you go." Song Xiaoyou handed the notebook to Lu Wuyai.
Opening his notebook and flipping through the pages, Lu Wuyai quickly found what he needed.
This is a bird trap. With a little modification, it should be able to catch a wild rabbit.
However, the most important capture container—the upside-down cage—needs Lu Wuyai and the others to figure out how to make it themselves.
When he couldn't sleep, Lu Wuyai brought up this question. After all, the whole team was together.
As a result, others discovered that Song Xiaoyou could indeed weave cages from tree bark.
"Sister, you are so precious," Gu Yuxin couldn't help but say.
In this team, Song Xiaoyou has the best temperament. She doesn't talk much, is meticulous, and is quite pretty. Now she even has this skill.
Once the cage is successfully woven, it can be used not only for capture, but also for moving supplies and building shelters.
After listening to Song Xiaoyou's description of the entire weaving process, Lu Wuyai and the others suddenly realized why Song Xiaoyou didn't use tree bark to weave the basket.
First, not all tree bark can be woven; second, even if suitable tree bark is found, simply soaking it in water overnight will not achieve this result.
Things are different now. A stream has opened up a new life for them.
That night, no one deliberately kept watch.
The next day, because of the discovery of the stream, everyone woke up late. Lu Wuyai finally got up at nine o'clock in the morning.
This nap completely made up for Lu Wuyai's fatigue over the past few days.
But when he opened his eyes, he found that he was all alone and could not see anyone else.
Standing atop the rocky hill, Lu Wuyai looked down. By the stream, four women were washing their faces and combing their hair. Seeing the green hills and clear water, Lu Wuyai's heart warmed instantly.
At this moment, they hadn't noticed Lu Wuyai yet. For so many days, each of them had been busy dealing with the sweat and grime on their bodies.
A mountain breeze blew by, and Gu Yuxin, with her back to Su Xi and the others, opened her arms, closed her eyes, and stretched.
Immediately afterwards, the fabric on her chest made a crisp tearing sound.
When Yu Yuxin was awakened, her impressive upper body was completely exposed to Lu Wuyai's view.
Even so, this vague circularity still caused Lu Wuyai to spit out a nosebleed.
Puff puff
At this moment, Gu Yuxin's face turned bright red. She grabbed a piece of clothing from the ground and used it to cover her uniform, concealing her alluring and voluptuous figure.
"Lu Wuyai!" Yu Yuxia screamed in shame and indignation, drawing the attention of everyone else.
"I didn't see anything," Lu Wuyai hurriedly explained, raising his head as his hands were covered in blood.
At this point, Yu Yuxin looked at Lu Wuyai's disheveled appearance and felt a strange sense of distress flash through her mind, which made her panic.
Song Xiaoyou ran up to him, tore a piece of cloth from his shirt, and stuffed it into Lu Wuyai's nostril to stop the nosebleed.
Su Xi joked, "Lu Wuyai, what exactly did you see that caused such a big reaction?"
Yu Yuxia immediately glared at Su Xi, then turned and pointed at Lu Wuyai: "Stop talking."
As a result, when Yu Yuxia reached out, the clothes covering her chest fell down, and Lu Wuyai was once again stunned by the familiar sight of her breasts.
Puff puff
This time, the nosebleed stained the rag red. Lu Wuyai felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.
"Fairy"
Gu Yuxin also stared intently at Yu Yuxia's imposing figure, feeling as if the other person was about to catch up with her.
Could there really be a second phase of development?
Yu Yuxia blushed and ignored Lu Wuyai. She quickly changed her clothes, carefully checked herself over, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Wuyai sat up on the ground, taking a long time to wake up. When he turned around and saw Yu Yuxin, his expression suddenly turned awkward.
He snorted.
Yu Yuxia rolled her eyes at Lu Wuyai angrily, feeling a little sorry for him.
"Is it pretty?" Gu Yuxin suddenly asked.
Lu Wuyai was taken aback. He quickly looked around and found that there was no one there. He then chuckled twice.
"You bunch of cowards with the desire to steal but not the courage, you deserve to have nosebleeds," Gu Yuxin muttered for a while.
"Sister Yuxin, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing, you must have misheard me. I'll go now."
Yu Yuxia turned and left, leaving Lu Wuyai alone in the stream at the foot of the rocky mountain.
Lu Wuyai scratched his head and realized that the other person had already disappeared into the forest on the other side.
Half an hour later, the four women dragged the bark back. Lu Wuyai was very curious because the bark was in large, intact pieces that had been peeled off.
"This is in preparation for the cage," Lu Wuyai asked.
As a result, Yu Yuxia stepped forward and shoved him, saying angrily, "Get out of the way, don't interfere with our work."
Lu Wuyai was somewhat unhappy, but after thinking about what had just happened, he backed down.
Soon, the bark soaked into the stream and was slowly washed away by the current.
During this time, Song Xiaoyou began peeling off the outer layer of bark again, leaving the white inner layer.
After doing all this, the bark had been soaking for almost two hours.
At this moment, the midday sun begins to shine, and even the stream occasionally produces white mist, looking like a veil covering the water's surface.
"Lu Wuyai, if you have nothing else to do, go find us something to eat."
By the stream, Yu Yuxia yelled at Lu Wuyai again.
"What is this woman doing?" Lu Wuyai had a strange feeling. He had a nagging feeling that Yu Yuxin had made her move. He seemed very unhappy today. Could it be just because he accidentally saw her...?
Lu Wuyai was depressed for a long time. He didn't see this scene on purpose; it was purely an accident.
However, after thinking for a while, Lu Wuyai stood up, picked up his axe, and prepared to set off.
After all, the cage won't be finished until tomorrow at the earliest. Whether we'll actually catch the rabbit is another matter entirely. In the meantime, none of us have had enough to eat. If only they could find some food.
More importantly, Lu Wuyai is indeed doing very well now.
Carrying two bottles of water, Lu Wuyai walked into the forest alone.
"He went in alone, is he alright?" Su Xi asked.
Yu Yuxia glanced at Su Xi, feeling inexplicably displeased, and said, "He didn't say anything about men, what are you worried about?"
Su Xi raised her eyebrows: "Yu Yuxin, I feel like there's something off about you today."
"What's wrong?" Gu Yuxin's heart skipped a beat.
“Okay,” Ye Meng thought for a moment, then shook his head and continued tearing at the bark.
Gu Yuxin suddenly said, "I really want to smell the sourness if any of you are jealous."
She snorted. "Just do your job. You talk the most." Yu Mengru glared at Dong Bingling.
"Yu Yuxia, you took your medicine today. I haven't even looked at your chest."
"Could you repeat that?"
Less than two minutes after Lu Wuyai left, Gu Yuxin and Yu Mengru started fighting again by the stream.
Here, in the forest at midday, it was extremely quiet.
Lu Wuyai casually chopped off some tree branches to make the road ahead look better.
Why is there so much fog in the forest?
Lu Wuyai rubbed his eyes and, after careful observation, discovered that there was indeed a lot of moisture here, probably related to the stream.
Three minutes later, Lu Wuyai scratched his back, thinking to himself, "These mosquitoes are not only invisible, but they bite through clothes too. They're really vicious."
An hour later, Lu Wuyai discovered that his shoes were also wet, making it very difficult for him to walk.
The puddle was filled with rotting leaves. Lu Wuyai squinted at his surroundings, feeling a little dizzy. He hadn't found any fruit or animals along the way, but there were many animal carcasses.
After thinking it over carefully, Lu Wuyai started walking back.
After a while, he was dumbfounded. He had clearly marked the way he came, but now he couldn't find it.
"This is my brain."
Lu Wuyai covered his head, feeling a buzzing in his head. As for what happened next, he completely lost consciousness.
...
At 2 p.m., after processing all the tree bark, Song Xiaoyou looked around by the stream and suddenly spoke.
"Lu Wuyai, has Lu Wuyai returned?"
Su Xi shook her head: "No, you didn't see it either."
"Maybe he's still looking for food in the woods. It's impossible for a living person to be missing." Dong Bingling seemed relieved, even thinking that Lu Wuyai must be eating somewhere alone.
But by 5 p.m., as darkness fell, the four girls panicked when they saw that Lu Wuyai had not returned.
"Let's go."
Let's go look for him in the woods.
The four women packed their things. Su Xi glanced at the time and frowned.
"It's already 5:30 PM, and there's still more than an hour until dark. Do we really want to go in?"
"It's getting dark, what should we do if we can't find Lu Wuyai?"
Although Ye Meng's words weren't unreasonable, after living together for so many days, they were far too unfriendly.
Gu Yuxin then resigned.
"Su Xi, you're so cold-blooded." Yu Mengru looked at her with her beautiful eyes, filled with disbelief. Shouldn't she be saving people first at this moment?
"Yuxin." Su Xi grabbed Yu Yuxin's hand, but it was quickly shaken off.
Su Xi sighed and could only say, "Lu Wuyai will definitely be fine. If we can't get out, and Lu Wuyai comes back to find us all gone, wouldn't that be causing him trouble?"
"Let's wait a little longer..."
"How do you know Lu Wuyai will be alright?" Yu Yuxia suddenly became excited, which surprised Su Xi.
"You, you!"
"Dong Bingling, Song Xiaoyou, are you leaving?" Gu Yuxin shouted.
Song Xiaoyou glanced at Su Xi, picked up the harpoon, and walked towards Yu Yuxin. As for Gu Yuxin, he hesitated for a moment, then followed him.
For a moment, Su Xi was the only one left by the stream.
Watching her three companions disappear into the forest, Su Xi checked the time again and sighed inwardly.
For many years, Su Xi had never felt this sense of powerlessness again, as if everything was out of his control.
In the end, Su Xi could only catch up with Yu Yuxin carrying a life-saving kit.
...
Soon, an hour later, at the last moment before darkness fell, four women carried Lu Wuyai out of the forest.
“What happened to him,” Gu Yuxin said anxiously.
Half an hour ago, they found Lu Wuyai unconscious on a mountain not far from the stream, and four people carried him out.
But to this day, Lu Wuyai remains unconscious. His face is completely bloodless. At first glance, there are no external injuries. His body appears intact.
"Song Xiaoyou, Dong Bingling, go and start a fire to boil water," Ye Meng shouted.
"Okay, okay," Song Xiaoyou stammered for a while, clearly very nervous, and immediately pulled Gu Yuxin to go into the forest to gather firewood.
At this point, Yu Yuxia almost burst into tears and began to examine Lu Wuyai's body.
"What, what is this?"
When she took off Lu Wuyai's t-shirt, she discovered that Lu Wuyai's neck and back were covered with a dense mass of strange things.
"It's a leech."
Su Xi recognized what these constantly moving creatures were at a glance.
At this moment, Lu Wuyai had at least twenty or thirty bloodstains on his body, each one soaked in blood, glistening with oil, giving one goosebumps.
However, Su Xi's expression changed immediately. He quickly said to Yu Yuxin, "Quickly check your body. We've already gone to the forest."
Yu Yuxia froze, but she still cried out, "Don't panic, can't you see Lu Wuyai is about to die?"
