To ensure her safety, Liu Sisi waited for another ten minutes before slowly climbing down the tree.
She looked around cautiously, then started running back the way she came.
To avoid being caught off guard by wild boars, she stayed close to the trees the whole way.
It allows for quick climbing of trees in case of danger.
11 a.m.
"Whoosh~"
With a joyful scream from Ye Feng, the yurt-like frame of the treehouse was fully completed.
They are mostly formed by interlocking and binding the characters "井" (well) or "田" (field).
In addition to the smoke vents, Ye Feng also deliberately left four skylights at the edge of the roof, each large enough for one person to go out.
Furthermore, the four skylights are spaced out, located in four different directions on the roof.
In other words, as long as people stand at all four points at the same time, there will be no blind spots around the treehouse.
Shooting can be carried out from any angle.
The three grown men wiped the sweat from their brows, their faces beaming with a sense of accomplishment.
With the most difficult step completed, all that's left is to fill in the blanks according to the diagram, cover the frame with moss and palm leaves, and you're all done.
"Haha, brother, this house is much more impressive than the one we built before."
The view from this vantage point is incredibly expansive.
Fu Changxiong laughed heartily…
Ye Feng stroked his chin, a faint smile playing on his lips.
The house was indeed much as he had imagined, but he still felt that something was missing.
But I can't quite remember it right now.
"Alright, let's eat something first. This afternoon we'll start laying the roof and try to finish the treehouse before 3 p.m."
After saying that, he took out three smoked monkey legs from his bag.
The three of them each took one and sat down on the edge of the platform to start gnawing on it.
While eating, Qi Xiaojie suddenly sensed something was wrong. After looking around, he asked:
"Huh? It's already...noon...where are my sister and the others?"
"yes."
Fu Changxiong was also taken aback and turned to look at Ye Feng.
"Hey bro, how many hours will it take to do some laundry and collect some pine resin?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly and stopped chewing.
Qi Xiaoyan wasn't worried, as the place to do laundry wasn't far from here.
He saw Qi Xiaoyan while he was tying up the roof frame. If something really happens...
Even if someone is injured, their loud shouts should be clearly audible.
But if Liu Sisi were to go out to find pine resin, and were to encounter any danger, whether from humans or beasts, given her ability to protect herself…
The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He realized that he seemed to have made a wrong decision.
A girl who can't even beat a dog would be fatal if she were alone in the wild and encountered any danger.
"broken!"
He immediately stood up, picked up the compound bow, and quickly climbed down the wooden ladder.
Just then, Qi Xiaoyan slowly walked back to the camp carrying the wooden bucket.
She washed quite a lot of clothes today, including the clothes, pants, and underwear of the corpses, as well as shoes and backpacks.
Because of the injury, the washing process was intermittent and took about three and a half hours.
Ye Feng immediately ran forward and asked:
Xiaoyan, have you seen Sisi?
Qi Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow, only then realizing that it had indeed been a long time since Liu Sisi left.
She had assumed that Liu Sisi might have already returned to the camp, but seeing Ye Feng's current state, it was clear that she probably hadn't.
"I haven't seen her since we parted ways this morning. Could she have encountered some wild beast, or... run into Kodiaz and his gang again?"
Ye Feng shook his head and waved to Fu Changxiong behind him.
"Hurry up and grab your gear and come with me."
"Hey!"
As the two were getting their weapons, Liu Sisi's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Brother Feng!"
A moment later, her figure emerged from the woods, her ponytail swinging back and forth, her head covered in sweat from running.
His flustered appearance clearly indicates that something has happened.
Ye Feng quickly went to meet him and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was not injured.
"What happened? Why did it take so long?"
Liu Sisi, hunched over and panting, said:
"I...I encountered...a wild boar."
Ye Feng first raised an eyebrow, and then a smile of unusual excitement slowly appeared on his lips.
The dried pork that was stored on the hillside was almost gone.
In the past two days, in order to supplement the nutrition of Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaoyan, they have eaten a lot of fish and meat.
He still had a long journey ahead to collect the gift, a trip that would take several days, and he was worried about food.
But now, the food is being delivered to our door, isn't it?
"Really!? Where? How many? What kind of wild boar?"
After catching her breath, Liu Sisi recounted everything that had happened that morning.
Recalling the scene, she still couldn't help but show a hint of fear.
However, Ye Feng showed no intention of comforting him; instead, he looked gloating.
"Liu Sisi, Liu Sisi, you'll die from your curiosity sooner or later."
November is almost here, so don't tell me you haven't done anything yet...
Even if you only appear in the wild boar's field of vision from afar, it will still attack you.
"It's incredibly lucky to have survived."
Liu Sisi was still very confused…
"Why is that? Aren't these wild boars rarely attacking humans?"
Ye Feng did not give a direct answer.
"I'm asking you, did the wild boar that attacked you have eggs? Was it a male boar?"
Liu Sisi tilted her head back slightly and began to recall carefully.
She must have nodded after just a moment.
"Yes, there really is! And it's a huge lump. It swings around when you walk."
"Then that's it. If you don't get beaten up, who will?"
Ye Feng, with a "you deserve it" look on his face, said with a faint smile:
"First, wild boars have a strong sense of territory. If you trespass into someone else's territory, you are likely to be attacked."
Secondly, there are two most important things in a wild boar's life: the right to a good mate and food.
You shouted, startling them. It's normal for the big wild boar, as the leader, to attack you.
But the most important reason is the third point: November is their mating season.
Do you know why those four pigs didn't attack you while they were eating?
Liu Sisi shook her head blankly, her face full of curiosity.
"Because they are all sows. And the boar, as the leader, has the inherent right to choose its mate."
It is currently mating season, its estrus period, so it is open to both its own kind and different kinds of animals.
The moment a boar gets close to the sow, the alpha male will assume you're trying to steal his mating rights and challenge his authority.
"If it doesn't attack you, who else will it attack?"
After hearing Ye Feng's explanation, Liu Sisi suddenly realized that the pigs that were eating did indeed not have any eggs.
