Deep in the desolate grass, half a corpse loomed, its white bones gleaming coldly in the dim light. The flesh had been devoured by the ravenous wolves, leaving only the tattered fragments of a tiger-skin skirt dangling from the skeleton, swaying gently in the wind. Even the head had been torn off, the scene utterly horrifying.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, intertwined with the odor of burnt grass, creating a suffocating stench. On the bloodstained ground, footprints of varying depths were scattered in an orderly pattern. One could imagine how frantically the wolves were enjoying this delicacy.
"This is too... I don't want to watch it, I don't want to watch it..."
Shen Keyin didn't even dare to get close, so she covered her eyes and didn't dare to look directly at him.
Although Leng Mengyao and Yin Yichen were braver than Shen Keyin, they also started to retch when they saw this scene.
"Ugh... I... I clearly dug the hole, why..."
Leng Mengyao resisted the urge to vomit and looked at the scene in front of him, puzzled.
"The pit wasn't dug deep enough, and the filling wasn't tight enough. The smell of blood will still attract wolves. Don't worry, you guys step back. Taylor and I will handle it."
Seeing that it was not easy for these girls to stand upright here, Lu Xuan naturally did not expect to rely on them to collect the bodies.
This kind of dirty and tiring work can only be done by men.
"Thank you for your hard work, I really... vomit..."
Yin Yichen really wanted to go forward and help, but when she got closer, just the smell of blood made her feel so nauseous that she wanted to vomit.
Although Taylor was young, as one of the few men here, he seemed quite calm. He helped Lu Xuan dig another hole nearby and then reburied the body.
Although the girls were unable to lend a hand, under the leadership of Leng Mengyao, they fetched several basins of water from the lake and carefully washed the area around them.
After finishing all this, it was almost noon. Thinking that he had to go to the yacht in the west again in the afternoon, Lu Xuan did not dare to delay and urged everyone to return.
"I'll have lunch, then Keyin and I will go to the ship to the west to look for tools. Taylor, hurry up and get the equipment ready. If you need help, ask Leng Mengyao. Mengyao, Yichen, you and Aphrodite should prepare some more bamboo when you have time. We still need to rebuild and strengthen our bamboo wall."
On the way back, Lu Xuan immediately repeated his afternoon plans.
"Lu Xuan, Keyin, Yichen, I'm sorry, is this all my fault?"
As soon as Lu Xuan finished talking about his task assignment plan, Leng Mengyao began to apologize to him with an apologetic look on his face.
"What are you doing? Why are you apologizing for no reason?"
Lu Xuan was completely confused. Wasn't he assigning tasks? Why was President Leng suddenly apologizing?
"Yes, Mengyao, why are you apologizing?"
Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen also looked confused.
"I'm talking about the incident of digging a pit to bury the body. It was because of me that you were attacked by wild wolves."
After hearing Leng Mengyao's words, Lu Xuan finally understood why this girl suddenly apologized.
"Hey, Mr. Leng, this isn't your fault at all. How many people have experience burying corpses? I never thought of blaming you. Stop worrying about it."
Lu Xuan quickly said a few words to comfort him. It was obvious that Leng Mengyao's old problem had recurred.
"Yeah, Mengyao, this was a complete accident. It has nothing to do with you. We didn't think anything of it."
Seeing that her best friend had started to worry about herself again, Shen Keyin hugged her best friend tightly.
"I'm sorry..."
Leng Mengyao was obviously still immersed in her "admitting mistakes" state.
"Okay, then work hard this afternoon. I'll leave the defense of the backyard entirely to you. But please be careful. Yichen, you too, should always pay attention to your surroundings while you work. The two of you, along with Aphrodite, will work together so we can look after each other."
Lu Xuan also had a way to deal with Leng Mengyao's problem. It was very simple, which was to give her a chance to "make amends". Even if there was no chance, he would create some opportunities for her to prevent this girl from getting stuck in a dead end again.
"Lu Xuan, don't worry. I promise to complete the task. There will be no mistakes this time. Also, I will prepare lunch today."
This trick really worked for President Leng, and this beautiful woman even added some "drama" to herself.
At noon, just as Leng Mengyao promised, everyone had a sumptuous meal.
President Leng personally "cooked" and prepared a variety of delicious dishes for everyone. Lu Xuan even took a sip of red wine.
"Hic...it's getting late. Keyin and I have to hurry on. You all should do your jobs and be safe."
After having a good meal and a good drink, Lu Xuan looked at the sun in the sky and found that it was already past noon. It was time to set off.
"Lu Xuan, are you going by water or by land?"
Leng Mengyao carefully prepared everything the two of them needed to carry for the trip, including dry food, drinking water, tools, weapons, etc. He also specifically asked Lu Xuan which route he planned to take.
"Let's go by water...but the wind seems a bit strong in this weather."
Lu Xuan originally wanted to row over there with Shen Keyin, but when he looked at the sky outside, he saw that there was a southwest wind blowing, and it seemed that the wind was quite strong. If that was the case, it would be difficult for him to row over there by himself.
"Handsome boy, why don't you take me with you? I can row fast. You know my rowing skills, it's very fast."
When Yin Yichen saw that Lu Xuan and Shen Keyin were going to live together, she was full of envy. When she heard that Lu Xuan was going to travel by water, she volunteered to join them.
Judging from their appearance, they are determined to turn a two-person group into a three-person group.
"Forget it, forget it. The wind is too strong. I'd better go overland and climb over the rock face. It's only going to take the two of us. You guys are short on manpower anyway, so you stay and work with Meng Yao and Taylor."
Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't let Yin Yichen follow him. If he did, who knows what kind of trouble this girl might cause him along the way.
"A bit... stingy!"
Yin Yichen stuck out her tongue at Lu Xuan, looking unhappy, and seemed to be muttering something under her breath.
"What are you mumbling about... Just stay home and don't cause trouble for everyone."
What Lu Xuan was most worried about was Yin Yichen. Seeing that she was still muttering something, he gave her a few more instructions.
"I say... you must want to fly together with Miss Keyin, don't you want..."
Since Lu Xuan asked, Miss Yin didn't hesitate to speak out what was on her mind. However, the more she spoke, the more lewd her words became, and her voice became softer and softer...
Especially those last two words...
