Using this method, Yunwen and I converted seawater into half a plastic box of fine salt. Due to time constraints and fear of arousing suspicion from the Song sisters, after making these, we took everything and followed the original path back to the Huoquan old house.

On the way, I saw Yunwen's mood written on her face, and she looked a little disappointed, so I asked, "Don't you like these two sisters?"

She shook her head and said nothing.

"Actually, it's like this. I don't like them very much either, but you still have to rely on Song Bailu to recover from your wound, so..." Before I finished speaking, Yunwen shook her head to stop me from continuing.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. I just miss home and my parents." Yunwen said in a low voice.

When I returned to the old house, I saw Bai Lu had made this meal with the meat from half a crab leg that was left over from yesterday. The soup was still the same as last night, but three more clams were added. This kind of seafood soup becomes more fragrant as it is boiled, and it can also quickly add flavor to the newly added ingredients.

When Bailu saw me coming back, she called Yingchun over to eat. I handed the biscuit box to Bailu and said, "I have prepared the fine salt. When you have time today, pickle the fish and make it into dried fish so that it can be preserved."

Bai Lu smelled it, looked delighted, and gave me a thumbs up.

Each person had a bowl of clam soup. My earthen bowl had been used as a filter, so I could only clean a metal cup and use it to hold the soup. I gulped down two mouthfuls and it was quite delicious, but the fishy smell was inevitable.

To celebrate the appearance of salt, I sprinkled some fine salt into everyone's bowl, so that we could taste the salty taste of the civilized world again. Everyone savored it for a long time, Yunwen even choked up a little, and I was also very moved.

Just as everyone was immersed in this beauty, Yingchun slowly got up from the mud house and walked towards this side.

"Oh, you've eaten it all. It seems you don't intend to leave any for me. You're planning to starve me to death, right?" Song Yingchun said.

"Yingchun, the food is here. Help yourself to the pot. Zhou Bo specially left some clams for you. Pick up two and eat them later. Don't make trouble..." Song Bailu was almost silent when she finished speaking.

Song Yingchun looked at me with sharp eyes and said, "Zhou Bo, you treated me badly yesterday, isn't it time for you to apologize to me?"

After these words were spoken, everyone lost interest in eating and the air was filled with smoke.

"Yingchun!" Song Bailu scolded.

"Shut up! This is a matter between him and me, don't meddle with it." Song Yingchun shouted at her, and then looked at me like that again.

"Yingchun, Zhou Bo knows that you didn't eat last night, so he left some extra food for you. Let's eat. Food is hard to come by, so let's eat first, okay?" Yunwen said to Song Yingchun.

"Shut up! Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak? Don't forget the agreement between you and me. If you dare to offend me, I will tell you everything." Song Yingchun threatened.

Yunwen held back her tears and didn't dare to continue speaking.

Presumably, she has been worried these past two days because she was coerced by Song Yingchun. Fortunately, now that she knows what happened, she can solve it and eliminate the hidden danger.

"Song Yingchun, can't all these delicious foods satisfy your appetite? If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner. We can have a good talk. Food is precious now and will expire soon. I don't want to waste my precious time arguing with you at this time." I said.

"Eat shit! This bowl was made by me, don't use it. I, your aunt, have been wronged, and you still have the mind to eat." Song Yingchun cursed.

Then he smashed the bowls in Bailu and Yunwen's hands into pieces...

Bailu didn't dare to say anything to her, and Yunwen was even more threatened by her. Only I stood up, and Song Yingchun tried hard to grab my metal cup. I held it tightly, and she couldn't move at all. When she saw that she couldn't pull it hard, she bit my wrist with her mouth and teeth.

The teeth marks left deep marks on my wrist, but I remained motionless.

"Apologize to me, you bastard, you made me go hungry all night!" Song Yingchun shouted.

Bang!

I slapped her in the face, and she fell to the ground, covering her face, looking at me with tears in her eyes, and said, "You dare to hit me? You..."

"I said that violators will be punished. Do you think that's the end of it after beating you? Clean up your own bowl and pot and get out. You are not welcome in my team. If you dare to stay here again, I will have to treat you as an enemy. Don't blame me for being ruthless then." I said in a cold voice.

"What? How can you...Sister, talk to him, sister! He wants to drive me away, he wants to drive me away! This beast actually wants to drive me away!" Song Yingchun shouted at me.

Bang!

I showed no mercy and slapped her in the face again. She was so scared that she curled up there, confused...

"Zhou Bo, this girl is young and doesn't know how to speak..." Song Bailu came over and begged.

I just stopped her from continuing.

"I'm telling you two, this is a deserted island. There is a shortage of food, wild beasts are everywhere, and it's a matter of life and death. If you're not careful, it doesn't matter if you die, but you may implicate others. Not to mention the distant consequences, the owner of the deserted house was wiped out within a day, and not a single body was left. And they are all soldiers with the same field experience as me. This is a lesson for you! Do you understand? This is not a holiday villa. If you want to be pretentious or play the role of sisterhood, get out and have fun by yourself." I said.

My tough attitude scared the two of them quite a bit; they rarely saw me get so angry, so they became quite timid.

"Song Yingchun, what are you doing standing there? Get out of here! What I need are teammates, not lazy pigs. Those who have no contribution and want to disrupt order cannot be tolerated here." I said again.

"Then...then you should also drive Zhang Yunwen away...otherwise it would be unfair!" Song Yingchun cried.

"Yingchun, you!" Zhang Yunwen wanted to stop her, but failed.

"Zhang Yunwen is working even though she is sick. Why should I drive her away?" I asked.

"Because she is cheating on you, she is teasing you, and you are so stupid as to not be able to tell the difference. She had an engagement ring, but she kept it in her pocket and she never wanted to throw it away. On one hand, she is using your emotions to protect herself, while on the other hand, she is thinking of another man. Shouldn't you drive away someone who treats you in this way? What did I do wrong? My sister has done everything for me. I smashed something I made myself. Why are you angry?" Song Yingchun cried loudly.

I glanced at Zhang Yunwen. She lowered her head guiltily and her body was shaking.

I also realized that this was the reason why she had been restless and always wanted to be alone with me ever since she came back from the cave with me.

"Are you married?" I asked.

She shook her head, her long eyelashes were covered with crystal tears, and she kept sobbing.

I sighed and said, "Whether she is married or not has nothing to do with me. At least she didn't violate the rules and won't be punished. As for you, Song Yingchun, reflect on what you did. Your sister is your sister, and you are you. This is the minimum discipline. Song Bailu, discipline your sister. Today is a warning. If you do this again next time, I will show no mercy."

Song Bailu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back and tell her, Brother Zhou Bo, don't be angry."

I walked away and said to Song Yingchun as I passed by her, "Fix the broken things for me as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even have this little contribution and will be nothing more than a waste."

After saying that, I left straight away, but even with my back to Yunwen, I could feel that she was looking at me deeply, and I could feel the heat of her gaze, but I chose not to look back.

After leaving the campfire, I went to the fields, filled a clay jar with water, and watered the wheat I had just planted. Then I sat down, feeling lost...
