"Brother Feng!"
The long-unheard voice rang out, and before Ye Feng could return to the treehouse, Liu Sisi, who had been waiting there, threw herself into his arms.
"I thought something had happened to you. I was so scared."
Ye Feng patted her head, his face showing lingering fear…
"Indeed. I have to thank you for everything, otherwise something really bad would have happened."
Liu Sisi raised an eyebrow and suddenly noticed Ye Feng's tattered sleeve...
The claw marks were clearly visible; she realized something must have happened…
"What happened? This is made of wild boar hide. Did you run into those black guys too? Or did you encounter a jaguar?"
Ye Feng waved his hand...
"It's not something that can be explained in a few words. Let's go back inside. There's still a lot to do..."
The three of them quickly climbed up to the treehouse.
Ye Feng quickly took out the meat from his backpack and smelled it. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it still smelled fishy.
If the things we risked our lives to bring back spoil, we'll lose a lot of money.
He immediately used some wood and rattan to build a smoked meat rack.
"Sisi, you should be able to cut some meat now, right?"
Liu Sisi nodded. Although she was still a little dizzy, she could still do what she could.
"Leave it to me."
She readily agreed.
The three of them immediately got to work...
Liu Sisi cut the meat, Qi Xiaojie was in charge of smoking it, and Ye Feng picked up a frying pan and fetched some spring water from outside the camp.
He was exhausted after a long day. He only ate a few pieces of dried meat and a piece of fish, and spent the rest of his time drinking water.
Carrying over 200 pounds for such a long distance, that little bit of energy was long gone.
Moreover, he was constantly in a state of high tension.
Later on, he relied entirely on willpower to get through it.
He was hungry, tired, and exhausted...
Ye Feng cut off a piece of meat weighing at least fifteen pounds, sliced it into pieces in a few quick motions…
I also sliced the fish liver and threw it directly into the pot.
Add a dollop of lard, and it's all done.
And now, all that's left is to wait.
Looking at the familiar flames, the frying pan, and the familiar companions…
Everything seemed to have returned to that little hillside from before.
His heart finally calmed down.
Every day he spent there was thrilling, and dinner was his most relaxing time.
He stared at the fire, a satisfied smile on his lips.
Although the three of them were each doing their own job, they were all chatting and laughing.
Liu Sisi felt very guilty about everything that had happened recently.
But Ye Feng didn't blame her at all; on the contrary, he thought she did a good job.
If she didn't have a fever, Ye Feng believed that Liu Sisi definitely had the ability to lead everyone to find him safely.
After all, he had witnessed the torrential rain that day.
Girls are generally more susceptible to illness, so it's normal for them to catch colds and fevers. This is due to reasons beyond their control.
"Brother Feng, there's something I've never quite understood."
As Liu Sisi cut the meat, she said:
"When we crossed that river, we used wooden rafts and paddled across one by one."
However, when we were cutting down trees around here, we did not find any traces of you cutting down trees.
And you were alone, with an injured hand, so how did you manage to build a raft in such a short time? And where did you collect the wood?
Ye Feng poked at the fire with a twig and blew on it a couple of times, but was choked by the thick smoke and coughed repeatedly…
"Cough cough cough... I didn't make a raft, I just swam there."
"What!?"
Liu Sisi stopped...
"Did you poison them before swimming over there?"
Ye Feng shook his head…
"It was almost nighttime, and by the time the poison took effect, it was too late."
I used a feint, swimming across the river while they were fighting over the dead crocodile.
He almost died there because of it.
Liu Sisi was greatly shocked, blinked her big eyes, and asked again:
"With such a strong smell of blood downstream, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of other crocodiles?"
You dare to go down into the Amazon River?
"Um."
Ye Feng dipped his chopsticks into the soup and smacked his lips…
"When I was halfway through the swim, I was indeed spotted by an adult black caiman."
I was terrified, but I was more skilled and lucky, so I managed to kill it.
Upon hearing this, both Liu Sisi and Qi Xiaojie were stunned.
Even someone who has never seen a crocodile in their life knows that underwater is the crocodile's absolute territory.
They are usually the ones who kill others, how could they possibly be killed by others?
The man in front of them claimed that he had single-handedly killed a fully grown black caiman underwater.
If it weren't for the fact that this man was Ye Feng, the two of them would have thought he was just bragging.
Liu Sisi felt this was going to be very exciting, and with an excited smile on her face, she sat down next to Ye Feng.
"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, tell me about your experiences these past few days. I love hearing stories like this."
Ye Feng poked the fish in the pot and found that it was not fully cooked yet.
Since I had nothing else to do, I started to recount my experiences over the past few days.
The two listened with great interest, as if they had never been so attentive in class...
After Ye Feng finished speaking, both of them raised their eyebrows.
They thought they had already experienced enough setbacks these past few days.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng's work was far more arduous than theirs.
Even so, Ye Feng still wanted to clear obstacles for them.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn't have been able to cross that river so easily.
At this moment, Liu Sisi looked apologetic. All along, it was Ye Feng who had been dragging them along.
If it weren't for this man, I probably would have died countless times by now.
Seeing their companion injured, they were still willing to risk their lives to collect food and travel through the night.
Thinking of this, she felt a surge of emotion and wanted to say thank you.
But these words seemed too inadequate compared to everything Ye Feng had done for them.
So, blushing, she simply kissed Ye Feng on the cheek…
"Brother Feng, you've worked hard. I promise I'll never cause you any more trouble in the future."
This bite left Ye Feng bewildered, feeling somewhat awkward.
Because in his heart, he had always regarded Liu Sisi as a younger sister...
But before he could say anything, Qi Xiaojie suddenly pouted and quickly brought her face close to his.
Ye Feng reacted quickly, pressing his hand against the man's face and glaring at him as he asked:
What are you going to do?
Qi Xiaojie's lips twitched slightly, revealing a shy expression...
"My sister... no... isn't here, so I'm the only one who can... express... my... gratitude."
"No…"
Ye Feng pushed his face away...
"From now on, as long as you obey my orders, follow them without question, and don't cause trouble, that will be the greatest gratitude you can give me..."
