After resolving the leopard crisis, Chen Yang and his team spent three days reinforcing the horse pen fence, inserting wooden stakes in some places, and making simple fences with vines.
The next step is to gradually tame these horses; it will take some time for them to adapt to the presence of humans.
In reality, Hou Yu took his girlfriend to a horse farm to learn equestrianism and also consulted a lot of information because Chen Yang had entrusted them with the task of taking care of the horses.
The island is almost fully developed. There are still some places I haven't explored, but I have a general understanding of it. Besides horses and sheep, there are also carnivores on the island, but not many, so the danger is minimal.
Chen Yang plans to use the island in the middle of the lake as a backup base, where some breeding and planting can be carried out.
Guo Zifeng and Bai Jing also expressed their intention to stay on the island.
"There is plenty of suitable clay on the island, as well as soil from termite nests, which is perfect for making pottery. I plan to rebuild a kiln. I've recently learned a lot of techniques and will try to fire a batch of exquisite pottery," said Guo Zifeng.
He was already researching how to smelt iron, but he hadn't found a suitable ore and the technology wasn't mature enough. Iron smelting required first producing charcoal, so he still needed to study charcoal production.
Guo Zifeng and Bai Jing, and Hou Yu and Li Ye, stayed on the island in the middle of the lake, while the others returned to the Xindu camp to continue construction and development. For couples, the island was indeed like a paradise.
The island's food supply was quite stable. Chen Yang handed the leopard over to them; the leopard pelt was used to make clothes for Bai Jing, and the meat was made into jerky. Combined with the island's plants and fruits, it was enough to eat. They could also hunt for themselves, and besides the horses, there were also goats. If they couldn't hunt other food, they could eat the goats.
The two couples were left on the island, while the others returned to the Xindu camp on bamboo rafts.
Inside the cabin at the Xindu camp, the two lambs were finally able to see the sunlight, which made them very happy.
Little Chenliu really liked the two lambs, so Chen Yang entrusted him with the task of taking care of them. Chenliu was very clever, and taking care of the lambs was no problem for him.
Chen Yang plans to keep the two lambs at the Xindu camp, as the Xindu camp is a better place for sheep to live.
"Looks like those two bears are back again."
The campsite was in a mess, and a lot of things needed to be rebuilt.
"Let's set a trap," Wang Bing suggested.
Their current weapons are not suitable for a head-on fight against a tough animal like a bear, but trapping bears is indeed a good method.
"Okay, let's shoot it next to the fishpond."
The men shouldered wooden hoes and dug a large pit next to the fishpond, big enough to hold two bears.
"If you're going to catch them, you have to catch both of them. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome. You have to lay a layer of branches on top, just big enough to support the weight of a bear. Only when both of them are on the ground will the ground collapse."
Jiang Bo directed everyone to find suitable tree branches, then experimented with it himself before finally covering it with bark and dry grass for camouflage.
"Don't come to the fishpond for the next couple of days. Those two bears have gotten used to stealing fish lately, so they won't be wary of the fishpond. We'll just put out the bait."
Chen Yang said.
"I'd like to go to Nightfall Forest. Chen Yang, what do you think?" Ye Wu suddenly asked.
Chen Yang paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, then Li Sen and I will go with you. The rest of you can stay at the Xindu camp to rebuild. Brother Jiang, thank you for your hard work. This time, you need to build it even more solidly so that it can keep out bears."
Jiang Bo nodded and said, "No problem, I'll go ask the older folks in the village, they have more experience."
Jiang Bo still lives in the countryside to take care of his parents, but he really wants to bring them to visit the Micro World Inn.
In fact, Jiang Yining had wanted to bring them to the city for a long time, but the two elderly people were used to living in the countryside and were not happy in the city. They tried to persuade Jiang Bo to go to the city with Jiang Yining, but Jiang Bo was unwilling.
"Uncle Chen Yang, I'd like to stay at the Microworld Inn for two days, is that okay? I've already told my mom, and she agreed."
Chen Liu suddenly spoke, followed by two lambs and the European Emperor.
Chen Yang nodded and asked, "Are your parents coming?"
"My uncle is coming back to pick me up," Chen Liu said, pointing at Ye Wu, which surprised Ye Wu.
"Oh, right, I'll go get it," Ye Wu said quickly.
"Is little Chenliu coming? If he does, will he sleep with his older sister?" Jiang Yining said to Chenliu affectionately.
Unexpectedly, the little guy shook his head and said, "No, I'm a boy, and I'm not a three-year-old anymore, I'm four years old. I want to sleep with Uncle Chen Yang. He has a room by himself, and his bed is big. You all sleep in small beds."
Such a reasonable and well-founded answer left Jiang Yining speechless.
"How are you feeling? Aren't you feeling down?"
Ye Wu, who often suffered setbacks in Chenliu, suddenly smiled.
"Let's get ready. Tomorrow, as soon as we enter the Microverse, we'll head to Nightfall Forest to explore some areas," Chen Yang said.
“I want to go too,” Li Su’er said.
"Take the European Emperor hunting near the Xindu camp. He needs to work on his hunting skills. Besides, the Xindu camp needs meat, doesn't it? Traps alone aren't enough."
Li Su'er pouted and said, "Okay."
Chen Yang smiled and shook his head, then reached out and patted her head, saying, "Practice your archery skills well and strive to become a qualified female hunter."
Li Su'er stared wide-eyed at Chen Yang in disbelief; this was the first time Chen Yang had ever acted so intimately towards her.
She nodded happily and said obediently, "Okay."
Jiang Yining watched this scene with a smile. Li Su'er had been pursuing Chen Yang for so long, and finally she was seeing some results.
Ye Wu paused for a moment, then glanced at Chen Liu. He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Chen Liu playing with the two lambs.
The reason he was willing to use his only spot to let Chen Liu in was entirely because of his brotherhood with Chen Yang. However, he also understood that even if Chen Liu were included, it would be difficult to get Chen Yang and Mo Xi back together.
Furthermore, he didn't think it was a good thing for Chen Yang and Mo Xi to get back together.
Back then, Chen Yang led the school's team in the domestic finals of the International Debate Competition for University Students. In the crucial battle to determine the Chinese representative, Mo Xi's sudden departure left the team weak, and Chen Yang also underperformed, resulting in a crushing defeat.
Since then, Chen Yang has resigned from his positions as student council president and president of the debate club, given up the opportunity to study abroad, handed over the management of his popular Weibo account to his subordinate minister, and closed the entrepreneurship club he had built.
Before that, Chen Yang was unmatched in the school, almost an idol to everyone, popular with men, women, young and old, and arrogant and ruthless!
Now, Chen Yang is running an inn in a very ordinary way. If it weren't for the presence of the Micro Realm, he wouldn't have been able to see the shining qualities in Chen Yang.
Mo Xi's reasons for leaving were also quite legitimate. She was going to inherit her family's company overseas. Her family entrusted her with managing the company, with a professional team to assist her, and also helped her with the transfer procedures.
This was a rare opportunity, and it was extremely tempting even for Mo Xi. Back then, she was full of ambition and was hailed as a perfect goddess. Otherwise, how could she and Chen Yang have become the envy of the entire school?
Mo Xi chose to leave, which was understandable, and Chen Yang didn't say anything. However, even Mo Xi herself didn't expect that she was already pregnant at that time.
Sometimes fate really plays tricks on people. If you're going to complain, you can only blame Durex. Who could have predicted that it would leak?
