After two hours of trekking through mountains and rivers, everyone finally saw the familiar lake in their backyard at noon.
"I'm finally back. I missed my Simmons bed so much."
At that moment, Chen Keyin wanted to lie down on the spot. Taking one more step was a luxury.
In fact, let alone the girl, even the two grown men, Lu Xuan and Taylor, were so tired after all the busy work that they didn't even have the energy to speak.
"Everyone go back and rest first. I need to take a nap anyway."
Lu Xuan himself now has only one thought, which is to hug his Simmons mattress and bedding and sleep until dawn.
"Finally home, oh yeah, I'm the first one."
Ever since crossing that ravine, Yin Yichen has become energetic again, but when she saw Lu Xuan, she turned her head away, as if deliberately avoiding Lu Xuan's gaze.
Lu Xuan didn't want to say anything or think about anything at this moment, so naturally he knew nothing. After returning to the cave, Lu Xuan didn't care about his image and was too lazy to take off his clothes. He collapsed directly on the Simmons mattress.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard Shen Keyin's scream.
"Little one, little one is missing..."
The little one that Shen Keyin mentioned was the baby bird that her group picked up. Shen Keyin had been taking care of it all along. The girl even made a nest for the little guy with bamboo and dry leaves and gave it a name.
But this little guy grew bigger and bigger, and his fur also changed.
After a long trip, as soon as she returned to the cave, Shen Keyin couldn't wait to see her "pet", and then she found that the little guy was missing and the original nest was empty.
"Keyin, it probably... flew away. Birds are like people. When they grow up, they need to fly freely. Returning to nature might be their best destination."
Leng Mengyao saw Chen Keyin staring at the empty bird's nest with a lonely look on her face, so he quickly went forward to comfort her.
"Mengyao, do you think it will come back? Will it recognize me?"
All I can say is that, with everything in this world, when we spend time together, it's inevitable that we'll develop feelings for each other. And once we face separation, or even a farewell forever, how can we not be heartbroken and tearful?
"It's okay. Maybe it's just out for a stroll and will be back tomorrow. You built such a nice nest for it, and it's stupid not to come back... Come on, come here, catch up on some sleep. You guys, stop busying yourself and take a break. If you're hungry, just find something to fill your stomach. I need to catch up on some sleep anyway, so don't call me even if the sky falls."
Lu Xuan squinted his eyes, comforted Shen Keyin, then greeted everyone with a yawn, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Although Lu Xuan said this, Shen Keyin was still a little sad. She sat alone at the entrance of the cave, staring at the sky in a daze.
It wasn't until Leng Mengyao handed her a piece of smoked fish that she was pulled back from her sadness.
"You're already an adult, why are you still the same as when you first joined the company? Sometimes, you should learn from Yin Yichen and not think about anything... uh..."
Leng Mengyao originally wanted to comfort Shen Keyin a few more words and mentioned Yin Yichen, but suddenly glanced into the cave and found that the girl was already sleeping with her legs spread out, and her left leg was still on Lu Xuan's thigh.
"This Yin Yichen... must have done this on purpose..."
Seeing this, Shen Keyin instantly forgot her previous feeling of loss and angrily pulled Yin Yichen away.
Lu Xuan and the others had a very fulfilling sleep. It was almost dark when Lu Xuan woke up due to the pushing and shoving of Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen.
"Lu Xuan, get up and eat something first. It's getting dark."
"Handsome boy, you've been sleeping all afternoon. Wake up and eat something delicious."
The two girls didn't expect that Lu Xuan could sleep so well. He went to bed earlier than them, but woke up later than them.
Only after seeing Lu Xuan open his eyes did the two girls let go. However, what really woke Lu Xuan up was the aroma of grilled fish wafting from the front yard.
"Eat, eat, I'm starving..."
People are relatively resistant to hunger when they are asleep, but once they wake up, their stomachs start to protest. What's more, Leng Mengyao and Aphrodite have already prepared delicious food, and the fragrant smell of grilled fish filled the entire cave.
Lu Xuan jumped up from the ground and went straight to the barbecue grill in the front yard. He grabbed two skewers of grilled fish and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Delicious, delicious, I've never eaten anything so delicious... You don't know, I eat skewers in my dreams, but they don't smell this good in my dreams."
While Lu Xuan was talking, he did not forget to mumble a few unclear words.
At this time, the six of them took a collective nap and ate delicious food. They were living a very happy life.
But a man on the other side of the island was complaining hungrily.
"Damn it, did you catch anything to eat? It's been the whole afternoon, and you're going to let me eat air?"
When Richard came back, he was starving. He was sitting on the ground, angrily urging the savages to get him food. However, this was a deserted island and food would not come to him easily.
Thinking about his trip, he not only did not find any parchment scroll, nor did he gain any benefits. Instead, he suffered heavy casualties and even got injured. Moreover, his hometown was raided.
Richard was getting more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He wanted to just pick up a weapon and go find that Japanese woman to take revenge.
It’s a pity that now, this group of people can’t even get enough food to eat, let alone take revenge. I’m afraid they don’t even have the strength to walk.
"Boss, how about we eat this?"
The new man pointed to the man hanging from the pole.
"Damn it, Mr. Qin, if you want to eat it, go ahead and eat it. I don't have such a strong taste."
Richard rolled his eyes at Qin Jicheng. Although Qin Jicheng had committed many murders and robberies since landing on the island, he could not accept the idea of eating human flesh, and was even quite resistant to it.
At this time, the new man actually asked him to eat human flesh. Naturally, Richard did not give him a good look.
"Boss, this human flesh is very nutritious. Really, if you really don't want to eat it raw, how about I grill a piece for you?"
"Get lost...I'm not interested."
Qin Jicheng was still thinking about flattering Richard, but he didn't expect Richard to respond at all. Instead, he kicked him hard with a look of disgust.
"Boss, Boss, I got him, I got him!"
Just as the two were debating whether to eat human flesh, two savages excitedly ran back from the southern jungle...
