"Brother, let's be patient a little longer. After our shift ends, I'll take you guys hunting some wild game."
"real!?"
The two immediately beamed with joy.
But less than two seconds later, they remembered what Cairnster had said.
"The three of you remember this: if you want to end the game, you must keep a close watch on Ye Feng."
This kid is very cunning; we must not give him any chance to turn the tables.
I need to know their every move. If I find out that the three of you are slacking off halfway through…
I swear to God, your fate will be even worse than his!
Thinking of this, the two immediately stopped smiling, their expressions turning sour again.
"Forget it, boss. If that guy finds out, we're dead."
"Yeah, that guy is elusive, didn't you notice? He walks in the jungle without making a sound."
"Tch~"
Sundar curled his lip in disdain.
"Don't worry, I checked before I left. Cairnster and the others went hunting."
Besides, I have the binoculars, how can he monitor us? It's alright, just come with me in a bit.”
The two of them instantly smiled again.
After monitoring for more than an hour, it was past 4 p.m.
At this time, Raj was in charge of monitoring.
Sundar and Wilma were injured in the night raid the previous night and had been doing hard labor all along.
They lay down right there at the arrow point and fell asleep, their snoring faintly audible; after all, that way they wouldn't feel hungry.
Raj is also feeling drowsy now.
But just then, a noise came from the treehouse in the distance.
Ye Feng was the first to appear on the wooden ladder, and slowly climbed down with his backpack on his back.
Next came Tang Weiwei, Zhan Pengwu, and others…
Without exception, they were all carrying bags and weapons, fully armed, clearly indicating they were about to go out.
"You just got back not long ago, where are you going again?"
Puzzled, Raj quickly woke up the two people beside him.
"Boss, Wilma, wake up! Ye Feng and his men are making a move!"
"ah?"
The two of them immediately woke up and rubbed their eyes.
Sundar snatched the binoculars. Ye Feng and the other eight were there, and they were walking in the direction he was heading.
Seeing this, he quickly directed the two men.
"Damn it, they're coming this way. Let's find another place quickly. That kid Ye Feng has two Sentinel Monkeys on him."
The three quickly got up and moved briskly towards another part of the forest.
"Boss, has that kid spotted us? Or is he trying to run away?"
Raj asked, puzzled…
No, it won't.
Sandar, having survived to this day through sheer strength, immediately recognized that Ye Feng was heading out to search for something.
"Why make such a big show of running away? It's broad daylight."
I think they must have realized they didn't have enough food. Eight people, locked in a room all day, they must have run out of food.
Let's get some distance away, so we don't get spotted!
About twenty minutes later, they followed Ye Feng and the others, watching as the other party entered a depression.
The three, initially filled with doubt, were astonished when they saw Zhan Pengwu pull a taro root the size of a baby's head from the ground...
Their eyes widened immediately.
Saliva kept dripping from the corners of my mouth...
That's taro! It's a delicious taro that's very filling and rich in carbohydrates.
Not to mention in the wild, even in the city, this is a well-known delicacy.
For the three hungry people, it was incredibly tempting.
They never imagined that there would be a taro field in the middle of nowhere.
And so they watched for twenty minutes, until Ye Feng and the others left.
The three of them were like famine victims at this moment, and they didn't care about the surveillance mission at all. They rushed to the taro field.
Seeing the nearly twenty taro plants still standing, the three of them were overjoyed, as if they had seen a lizard.
He jumped down and started pulling...
But not long after, Sandar quickly reminded the two of their own.
"You two, don't pull too many! These are so big, three are enough to eat."
This thing won't last long, it'll rot soon, I'll come back tomorrow!
Remember to cover up all the footprints later, so Ye Feng doesn't find them.
"knew."
The two nodded repeatedly, and soon the three of them pulled out three taro roots.
Raji held the large taro covered in mud, couldn't help but lick his lips, wishing he could take a bite right now.
"Hey boss, do you think... we should report this to those guys?"
"Tsk..."
Sandar, exasperated, slapped him on the head.
"Are you fucking crazy? Do you really think Cairns is some kind of Brahmin noble family? You think you have to hand over everything good?"
Those beasts! If we give it to them, will we have anything to eat in the future?
Wilma continued:
"Stop talking, boss, let's find a place to grill, I'm starving."
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately tidied up the taro field, covered up their footprints, and then left.
Driven by hunger, they even forgot that their mission to monitor Ye Feng still had more than an hour to go.
So they didn't realize that a pair of eyes had been watching them for a long time in the woods next to the taro field.
11 PM —
Inside the treehouse, Ye Feng and the others had already finished dinner. The only sounds inside were the crackling of the fire, Ye Feng weaving something, and Fu Changxiong sawing.
Meanwhile, the others were all holding bows and arrows, intently leaning against the edges of the four windows.
They cautiously surveyed their dark surroundings.
They didn't know if Cairnster would actually come, but none of them wanted to be woken up by smoke again tonight.
Even though they couldn't see each other that way, Ye Feng had everyone scatter some dry branches around the area after they returned in the afternoon.
As soon as the other party gets close, they will surely break the dry branches and make a sound.
At that time, all you need to do is turn on your flashlight and shoot.
However, they had been waiting for more than an hour, and apart from the chirping of insects, there was no other sound at all.
Ye Feng, on the other hand, was oblivious to everything else and focused solely on weaving his shield.
Actually, this skill isn't that difficult; most of the older generation in rural areas know how to do it.
The method is similar to weaving a frame. First, use rattan to weave a "well" shape, and then slowly expand the shape outwards in circles.
It's a bit like making a pot out of mud. First, you shape it into a rough form, and then you build it up layer by layer with mud strips.
The shape can be modified according to your own needs, that is, use less rattan in some places and more rattan in others.
This was very simple for Ye Feng, because he could weave small baskets when he was only fourteen.
At that time, he still lived in the countryside, and his old house hadn't been demolished yet. His grandfather was still alive…
They supported his education by weaving bamboo baskets and growing crops.
He was naturally intelligent and learned things very quickly.
Through long-term exposure, I also learned a somewhat unorthodox, but passable, weaving skill.
