Two or three days passed like this. During this time, Yingchun came to ask me how long it had been. I didn't give a correct answer because I was honest and hadn't thought it through.

After a few times, Yunwen also became nervous. Sometimes when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she would ask me what I thought. I could only say a few words to comfort her.

The most important things for survival on a deserted island are supplies and living conditions, so I habitually picked out the supplies I still had. The only tools left were a saw and a folding engineer shovel, and hammers, axes and the like had all been lost. I also had a backpack, a metal cup, and a rope. As for food, there were 27 cans of food left, one and a half bags of flour, a snakeskin bag of dried medicinal herbs, and a snakeskin bag of wheat seeds.

These are enough for us to transition safely into the winter, and the flour may be enough to last until winter and spring. If we plant wheat seeds in winter, we can continue to harvest next year to ensure that we have enough food.

Although the living conditions are sufficient, the living environment needs to be improved. After all, the mud house is not as convenient as the post station. Moreover, there is an underground factory to the east, which is affected by the nuclear radiation. There is also a wolf spider's nest to the west. Although there is an earth slope blocking the north and rear, there is a natural air vent to the south. Once the sea breeze blows strongly in winter, it will be strange if you don't get chronic rheumatism.

The most important thing is that when winter comes, ice forms everywhere and the tributaries can no longer store water. One can only go to the pool to chisel ice to get water, which is extremely dangerous. Not to mention that falling off the ice may lead to drowning or freezing to death, there is nuclear radiation here, and there is no guarantee what strange things may be under the deep pool.

I also talked a lot about these things with Bai Lu and gave her some advice, but she expressed disdain.

For the past two or three days, Yunwen and I have been feeding mosquitoes outside the house. If we get a little closer to the mud house, we will be ridiculed. I plan to build a mud house for myself, but Song Bailu obstructs me in every way. She told me in some obscure words that I am planning to split up the family, and it would be awkward for us to be neighbors. If we are awkward, they will be reluctant to give us the medicinal herbs. Of course, I am afraid that this will affect Yunwen who is recuperating.

Yunwen and I both depended on her for our health care. She knew that Yunwen had learned a lot about using medicine, so she always stopped her, telling her the cause of her illness and not letting her go to collect medicine easily. Even if she did collect medicine, she would not let her use fire or earthenware pots. She still used the same routine to control resources! She just changed to a softer method.

The purpose remains much the same as before.

Fortunately, I took relatively good care of Yunwen this time and did not order her to do chores. I just hinted at me from time to time to let me accept the bet between Yingchun and me, saying that Yingchun would feel happy if she won, and the estrangement between us would be eliminated, and perhaps we could return to the relationship as before. I mostly said I would think about it.

Three days later was the deadline Song Yingchun gave me. I opened my eyes very early that morning. It was daybreak and Yunwen was still lying beside me. Her delicate skin was covered with red bites and she was scratching herself even when she was sleeping. There should be a lot of mosquitoes in this mountain, and it was such torture to lock the two of us outside.

I have also thought about it carefully for two days. Now that the deadline has come, I should make a decision.

"I'm sorry, Yunwen, I don't want to see you suffer, nor do I want to go through so much trouble to still not be able to avenge the beautiful fox fairy. In this dilemma, I have no other choice. As the saying goes, a great success is like a flaw, and its use is not exhausted. Nothing in the world is perfect, especially under such harsh conditions. We can't expect it to be so. I should stand up. I hope you will be understanding and understand that everything I have done is for you and to avenge the beautiful fox fairy. You will understand me." I muttered softly, with very complicated feelings in my heart.

I both hope that she can hear it at this moment and I don't want her to hear it. My biggest wish is that this undercurrent will not lead to huge waves.

I thought about it for the last time, and after making up my mind, I stood up and walked to the adobe house, knocking softly on the door. Not long after, Bai Lu came over and opened the door. When she saw me, she glanced at me from behind. Although she was still sleepy, she immediately showed a cunning look and said, "Come in."

In the early morning, Yunwen also got up. She yawned and stretched, then touched around, but didn't touch me. She was a little surprised. Then she looked up and saw Bailu, Yingchun and I were sitting at the dining table. Her expression changed a lot at once. When she walked towards me, she kept looking at me, and I avoided her.

"Sister Yunwen, go wash up quickly and then come over for breakfast. We're going to have buns today. Brother Zhou Bo has been craving for them since early morning and asked me and Yingchun to make them." Song Bailu said deliberately.

Yunwen frowned and turned her head away, as if she heard it, but also as if she didn't.

Not long after, she came over. She had just finished chewing willow branches and rinsed her mouth with tea. There was a special fragrance in her mouth. Her face looked especially white after washing. She leaned close to my ear and whispered, "Zhou Bo, why did they listen to you so much today? They made the buns as soon as you asked? And why did you get up so early?"

How should I answer this? I could only look at her awkwardly, and her eyes changed a little bit.

Seeing Yunwen had come to the table, Bailu put the buns in a clay plate, brought them up, and placed them on the table. She also specially placed wooden chopsticks, a bowl of scented tea, and a plate of appetizers for Yunwen, and said, "Sister Yunwen, try it and see if it suits your taste. Today's filling is beef, specially made for you."

"Sister Bailu, you don't have to do so much for me. It would be embarrassing for me if I didn't do anything. Let's eat together after we finish cooking." Yunwen said.

At this time, Bai Lu smiled and said, "No need, we have all eaten, but what my sister said is right, no reward without merit, and I just happen to have something to discuss with my sister."

Yunwen immediately became alert. She looked at me, put down her chopsticks, and said with a strange look on her face, "What's going on, Sister Bailu? Such a big scene?"

"You also know that my sister has always admired Brother Zhou Bo. As for you, you are already engaged and shouldn't flirt with other men. So sister only asks you one thing, keep a distance from Zhou Bo, just be a friend, okay? Zhou Bo has already agreed to be my sister's boyfriend. If you have other intentions, wouldn't it be a bit too immoral?" Bai Lu said very calmly.

I felt something was wrong, so I slammed the table and stood up. I was about to yell because I said in the morning that it was just a kiss and I didn't mention being a boyfriend! But Yingchun stood up and leaned close to my ear and said, "Zhou Bo, think about it carefully. Do you still want revenge? Do you still want us to treat Zhang Yunwen well? A boyfriend is not a husband, what are you afraid of? Besides, you kissed me in front of everyone. Do you think you won't give me any status? After all, I am still a virgin, right?"

"Song Yingchun..." Before I could say anything, Song Yingchun pulled my neck and kissed my lips hard. She pressed hard against me, not allowing me to move for even a moment.

Once words are spoken, they can be taken away. I promised to kiss you for one minute this morning, but now I can only count with my eyes closed, one, two, three...

Yingchun deliberately hugged me tighter and pressed her whole body against me. I could hear her heartbeat accelerating. The passionate kiss lasted for sixty seconds. I decisively pushed her away and saw that Yunwen's face was deathly pale. My heart was immediately in my throat.

"Yunwen..." I wanted to explain, but she decisively reached out to stop me.

Two lines of tears flowed from her eyes. She tried hard to restrain herself. Even though her fingernails had dug into the flesh of her palms, causing them to bleed a lot, she still couldn't hold back her tears. She bit her lips, trying not to cry. Her body was trembling, and she stood up tremblingly. She tried to put on a smile, but almost failed, so she quickly lowered her head to cover it up.

She grabbed a bun and stuffed it into her mouth, making a humming sound. I wanted to go over to help her, but she immediately pushed me away. After a long time of effort, she finally chewed a bite and said, "Very good, it's true that they are a match made in heaven. I, Zhang Yunwen, congratulate you and hope that you can be together forever and get married soon. As a woman who is engaged, I will abide by my duties, so please rest assured."

After she finished speaking, she uttered a cry and blood spurted out, splattering on the plate of bun skins. I hurried over to help her, but she pushed me away and shouted, "Please respect yourself!"

After shouting, she fell forward and lost consciousness.
