It turned out to be an old turtle, the king of turtles, which was even bigger than the one he caught last time.
"This... where did this come from? Could it have crawled here on its own?" Lu Xuan stared at the turtle in Yin Yichen's hand in astonishment.
"We caught it when we were bathing in the lake. Is it big? Hahaha!"
At that moment, Yin Yichen was so proud that she showed off everywhere with this old turtle in her arms.
Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao looked at each other and shrugged at the same time.
It's a pity that we were worried about these two girls on the way back. Now it seems that without us, they are not only living without any problems, but can be said to be quite comfortable.
God was afraid that these two would starve, so he sent them lobsters and soft-shelled turtles, and almost all of them were delivered to their doorsteps free of charge.
I guess these two were really the daughters of the Dragon King of the East China Sea in their previous life, and they should have been lucky koi.
An hour and a half later, Lu Xuan, who had been exhausted all day, finally enjoyed the lobster rice porridge and old turtle soup.
This meal can definitely be called the most sumptuous meal I have had since arriving on the island.
By the end of the meal, Lu Xuan was almost full and kept burping.
"...Ah, how could these men take away my boat? That's so despicable."
"That's right, these people are so despicable. If I meet them again in the future, I will definitely chop them alive!"
While eating, Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao had to tell the two girls about their experiences in the past two days.
The two girls were not idle either. They listened and expressed their opinions at the same time.
But after hearing the last sentence, Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen's faces turned even paler.
"Lu Xuan, did you see any wild men?"
"It seems we're not the only ones on this island, so you two must never go out rashly again. Starting tomorrow, we won't be going anywhere. Our first priority is to reinforce this cave and our front and back yards. I'm also planning on trying to make a bow and arrow, and I'll need everyone's help when that happens."
After being busy for many consecutive days, Lu Xuan was really exhausted. Not to mention that he had encountered the indigenous people on the island who could bring great danger to him and his friends. Even if he hadn't encountered them, Lu Xuan decided to adjust himself.
"Bow and arrow? That doesn't seem that easy to make, does it?"
Making a bow and arrow is not as simple as making a bamboo paddle or a harpoon. Girls who grew up in the city probably have never actually played with a bow and crossbow, let alone making one.
"It's really not that simple, so I'm just giving it a try. The first step is to choose the right wood. We need trees like mulberry orange, yew, ash, and acacia to make the bow body. Use wood like oak or maple to make bows and arrows..."
After Lu Xuan arrived on the island, he had thought about getting himself a bow and arrow. After all, having a long-range weapon was excellent for hunting or for personal use. However, as Shen Keyin said, the manufacture of this bow and arrow was extremely difficult. From finding the right materials to the final formation, it would take at least ten days or half a month to complete.
If it weren't for this encounter with the savages, which made him deeply aware of the threat, Lu Xuan would probably have postponed this matter indefinitely.
"That's so troublesome...why don't we just go to those savages and take their bows and arrows? That would be much more convenient. What do savages look like? And that little girl you saw, where did she go?"
Yin Yichen still has the look of a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. Looking at her posture, she seems to be eager to go and fight those natives right now.
"All of you, keep quiet. From now on, you can move around a little bit nearby except for chopping wood and bamboo. The rest of the time, you can't go anywhere. Our next mission is arduous. I'm also going to block the road to the jungle ahead. And this huge back garden is actually half-open. If those savages come from this direction, we won't be able to defend ourselves at all."
Lu Xuan thought about it on the way back.
My current residence, aside from the bamboo wall in the front yard that provides some protection from human attacks, is completely exposed. Anyone could easily enter my cave. Therefore, I must upgrade and strengthen my defenses again!
"Lu Xuan is right. The primitive people we encountered this time not only use bows and arrows, but also seem to be able to use firearms. If they really find our residence, I'm afraid it will really cause us huge trouble. So we really need to improve our defense system."
As someone who had actually witnessed that group of primitive people up close, Leng Mengyao naturally stood firmly on Lu Xuan's side. After all, nothing was more important than safety.
"When did you two start singing in unison?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao were making plans, but Yin Yichen, with her keen intuition, heard some clues between their words.
It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but when this girl brought it up directly, Leng Mengyao's cheeks immediately blushed.
"Ahem... Yin Yichen, stop talking nonsense! I haven't criticized you yet. Tell me what you deserve for your rash decision to go out to sea today!"
In order to prevent Leng Mengyao from being exposed, Lu Xuan could only cry "the thief is thief".
"We...were out to sea to find you because of our revolutionary friendship. Not only was we innocent, but we actually did something meritorious. We are good comrades with deep loyalty and righteousness. It's you, on the other hand...who have the problem..."
It turned out that Yin Yichen over there was not so easy to fool. While bragging to the two of them, she did not forget to secretly glance at Leng Mengyao and Lu Xuan.
"Okay, it's getting late. I'll break down the specific work arrangements tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower."
Yin Yichen is a cunning woman, and sometimes Lu Xuan can't do anything with her, so the best thing to do is to run away.
But as soon as Lu Xuan ran away, Yin Yichen immediately set her eyes on Leng Mengyao, and like a pug, she kept sniffing around Leng Mengyao.
"Yichen, what are you doing? Does Mengyao smell like anything?"
Only Shen Keyin stared with wide eyes, completely in the dark, not understanding what Yin Yichen was doing.
"Yes, there is definitely a smell... a man's... smell, hehehe..."
The corners of Yin Yichen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a naughty smile.
"You keep talking nonsense every day. I'm going to take a shower too..."
Leng Mengyao felt even more uneasy when the girl looked at him so closely.
But after taking just four or five steps, the back foot stopped.
Lu Xuan is still bathing in the lake. If I go there now, wouldn’t that confirm the truth?
But when he turned around and looked at Yin Yichen, Leng Mengyao felt that anywhere was safer than here.
