This fishing net is what Lu Xuan has been looking forward to for a long time. Now he mainly relies on the harpoon in his hand to catch fish.
However, the efficiency of a harpoon cannot be compared with that of a fishing net, especially when it comes to catching sea fish, the harpoon has its limitations.
"Come on, take the fishing nets and your precious map, and let's go home."
After a busy whole day, it was quite fruitful. Although the arrow was still missing and a strange treasure map appeared in the middle of the journey, overall, today was a very fulfilling day.
With the lifeboat full of supplies, the four of them returned home.
However, due to the large size of the Simmons mattress, the way back was really difficult. In the end, it took nearly an hour of pulling and tugging to successfully transport the supplies on the ship back to his cave.
Before entering the cave, he was greeted by the hungry baby bird. As if it heard the voices of Lu Xuan and others, the baby bird started calling from a distance.
Lu Xuan naturally had no time to take care of the bird, but Shen Keyin, the mother, immediately brought food to the baby bird.
The four of them spent a lot of effort and finally moved the Simmons mattress into the cave.
Seeing a big cargo entering their cave, Chen Keyin and Yin Yichen were extremely excited. After all, the girls had been using dead branches and leaves as bedding for so many days. How could the comfort of these dead branches and leaves compare to this Simmons mattress?
"Haha, it's so comfortable."
Yin Yichen simply rolled around on the Simmons mattress.
"Lu Xuan, come and try it, it's very comfortable." While enjoying the six-foot-wide Simmons mattress, Shen Keyin did not forget to take Lu Xuan with her.
"As long as you like, I have enough sleeping bags."
Lu Xuan didn't care much about the bedding itself. As long as he had a sleeping bag and stayed away from Leng Mengyao, who had a wild sleeping posture, he could have a good sleep.
"Mengyao, the three of us will sleep on Simmons mattresses tonight."
Seeing that Lu Xuan was indifferent, the two girls went to fool Leng Mengyao again.
Lu Xuan took the fishing net he had just acquired to the lake in the backyard to try it out.
Only one third of the backyard fence project has been completed, and there are several piles of bamboo piled up in the backyard.
It was already late today, and Lu Xuan naturally would not stay up late to work by candlelight, so at the moment, Lu Xuan just tried to lower the fishing net into the lake, then returned to the cave and had dinner with the girls.
The three girls had already enjoyed the comfortable Simmons mattress. Now they were probably done with their fun and were hungry, so they were grilling fish.
"Don't stay up too late today, everyone. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow, and there are still many rooms on the yacht to explore. We have a long way to go."
Lu Xuan took out a grilled fish and started eating it with relish, while not forgetting to give a few instructions. He was really afraid that the girls would have a new "bed" and stay up all night with him until dawn.
Fortunately, what Lu Xuan was worried about did not happen. Perhaps they were really tired, Chen Keyin and Yin Yichen fell asleep early. However, Leng Mengyao was still studying the "treasure map" that Chen Keyin had found.
"Have you figured out anything?"
Lu Xuan yawned and glanced at Leng Mengyao with one eye squinted.
"This picture is probably just a partial view, but I've thought of something. Do you think the captain and the first officer will argue over this?"
Obviously, Leng Mengyao did not get any useful information from this map, but she put forward a hypothesis.
"You mean to get this treasure? Haha, I didn't expect you would believe such a thing? If this really was a treasure map, those people would have taken it long ago. How could it be our turn?"
Lu Xuan had always treated this map as a child's toy. Moreover, as he said, if this really was a treasure map, it would not have been their turn to get it. It would have been taken by the group of men first.
"What if...that group didn't even know about this picture?"
Leng Mengyao did not directly refute Lu Xuan, but changed his approach.
"Okay, then don't study too late. I'm going to bed first."
Lu Xuan wasn't in the mood to study a "treasure map." He'd rather spend his time thinking about how to improve and strengthen his own home, such as how to deal with wild animals and attacks by wild men...
…
"...Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, wake up, wake up..."
Just when Lu Xuan was dreaming of owning the entire island, he was pushed awake by someone.
When I opened my sleepy eyes, I saw none other than Leng Mengyao, the last person to sleep last night.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Lu Xuan was feeling sleepy right now, and was suddenly woken up by someone. He was a little grumpy...
"There seems to be some movement behind..."
It was not until he heard Leng Mengyao's words that Lu Xuan suddenly woke up and jumped out of his sleeping bag.
"Are you sure you heard it right? That sound coming from behind?"
This backyard has always been Lu Xuan's biggest concern. After a few days of busy work, the security of the front yard has made a qualitative leap. It can be said that it can play a good defensive buffer role whether it is against wild beasts or humans with bad intentions. However, the defense project of this backyard has only been completed by 10% at most to date.
If there really were some bad guys or ferocious beasts attacking their group from the backyard at this time, the danger would be quite great.
"I don't know what it is, but I can confirm that the sound came from the backyard."
Obviously, Leng Mengyao had confirmed it many times, otherwise he would not have woken up Lu Xuan rashly.
"The back cave was sealed with bamboo rafts at night, right?"
Although the defense project in the backyard was indeed not completed, Lu Xuan still had a trick up his sleeve. He had already made a simple bamboo raft to serve as a bamboo gate. At night, he would insert the raft into the ground to serve as a bamboo gate.
"It's sealed, so I didn't dare open it. Do you want to wake them up?"
Leng Mengyao nodded affirmatively, then pointed at Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen who were still sleeping soundly.
"No need for now, I'll go check it out. Light a torch and follow me closely."
Before confirming what Leng Mengyao had heard, Lu Xuan felt there was no need to wake up the two girls.
Holding a harpoon in his hand, carrying a flashlight, and accompanied by Leng Mengyao who was holding a torch, Lu Xuan slowly walked to the back door of his cave.
The two men crouched down and squatted in front of the bamboo raft door, listening carefully to the movements outside.
“Huff…”
The two listened quietly for a while, and it seemed that they heard no other sound except the sound of the wind.
"Are you sure you heard it right? Could it be the wind?"
Although Lu Xuan always believed in Leng Mengyao, it was late at night and he was tired after a long day, so he might have been hallucinating.
"Definitely not. It's that kind of deep voice..."
“…Ahh…”
As he was speaking, a creepy low voice came from far away and reached Lu Xuan's ears...
