Yunwen went there not only to check on Bailu and the others, but also completed the task I assigned to her accurately. Not only did she collect a lot of wild vegetables, but she also went to the bison area and squeezed half a kettle of bison milk. Therefore, this evening, our meal was obviously much better than last night.

I saw Yunwen busying around. She washed the shells in the spring pool and then simmered them in a pot. She hung up one of the two fish and skewered the other one on a tree trunk after cleaning its internal organs. She then roasted it with seasonings. She also roasted the wild vegetables at the same time. She then heated the wild milk in the military kettle over the fire. After it was cooked, she poured it into the metal cup that she brought back. Yunwen and I took a sip each and shared the cup.

Since we didn't have time to make bowls and plates, the way we ate was to roast one skewer, each person finished it in one bite, and then wait for the next skewer. So the two of us took a bite of roasted wild vegetables and a bite of roasted fish in the moonlight, and drank some wild milk to moisten our mouths. After we felt full, we each took one of the cooked shells as snacks to supplement our protein. I also kept all the empty shells as they will be of great use tomorrow.

After eating all of this, they finally soaked some flower petals that Yunwen brought back in a silver wine pot. After rinsing the metal cups clean, they each took a sip to rinse their mouths and get rid of the greasiness.

Although this is the simplest meal we have had since we came ashore, without even bowls or plates, it is the most comfortable and intimate meal, with no interruptions, no worries, no unpleasantness, no disappointment. We can fully enjoy the taste buds brought by the food, with the moonlight bright, the breeze blowing on our faces, and the beautiful woman by our side, and we have no distractions. This feeling is much better than the big fish and meat we had in the past.

"Zhou Bo, do you think the Song sisters are also having dinner now? Are they eating and living comfortably like us, and gradually getting used to the days without us?" Yunwen asked.

"The delicious food, castles and manors, and all the top-notch facilities on this island have been handed over to them. They must be living a carefree life and will soon forget about us. Even if they think of us, they will only think of us being there, so they will add a pair of bowls and chopsticks and eat more food. They will soon feel that our leaving is a kindness to them. Don't worry about them. We have our own lives too. Don't be affected by them." I said.

"Maybe that's the case. I'm almost used to the days without them. But sometimes I still think of the scene when Sister Bailu saw us leaving and slit her throat to commit suicide. I'm still a little worried. Today, when I went down to the deep valley area, I saw the sisters outside the iron fence. Song Yingchun was not restrained among the hyenas, but Sister Bailu was left alone. She seemed very lonely. I don't know what happened there." Yunwen said.

"Maybe the sisters had a quarrel. As for what you said today, I think it might just be a coincidence. The two sisters were planning to buy something in the black market, and it happened that her craftsmanship was once again popular. This is the most likely situation. Song Bailu certainly couldn't get a say in this regard, so she could only be turned away. This is my estimate, but based on the analysis of the situation of the two sisters, it should be almost certain." I said.

"What about the voices of the hyena people in the castle?" Yunwen asked.

"It's simple. Song Yingchun often goes to the black market to trade her wood carvings, and some hyena people came here alone." I said.

Although I said so, I was also very worried. This situation had never happened when Yunwen and I were here. Why did it happen so soon after we left? Moreover, although the IQ of hyenas is similar to that of humans, they are a race left after the brains of grafted humans were transformed by Kaiyuan and then reproduced, but they don't seem to have the concept of buyers picking up goods at their doorsteps. Otherwise, since Yingchun asked the ugly monster to trade on the black market, there should have been an endless stream of buyers coming to greet them.

But no, in addition, the furnishings in their territory's nests are all blacksmith shops, and there are several of them, but other hyena people stay in their own nests at the foot of the mountain, and have never gone up the mountain to buy goods directly. I have seen this when I had previously ventured into the hyena people's territory. Except for the market, they would only stay in the house, and there was no other idle people on the hillside where the blacksmith shop was.

It can be seen from this that it is not popular for suppliers to contact buyers directly!

If that's the case, then why would the hyena people go into the castle, and why would Yingchun be having fun in the hyena people's territory in broad daylight? This always gives me an indescribable feeling of weirdness.

After that, Yunwen and I didn't talk about those things anymore. After we finished cleaning up, we had been busy with this and that all day and were tired, so we prepared to take a rest. We went to sleep in the tunnel again. This night we felt much more adapted and just slept in each other's arms. We fell asleep quickly, not as strongly as last night.

After a nap, Yunwen woke up earlier than me. After a simple meal of hot pot dishes and milk, I began to arrange today's tasks.

"From today on, let's just take care of ourselves. Let them live their lives as they please. They can't control us, and we are too lazy to control them. So from now on, we have to take good care of our own lives and try to restore the post station as soon as possible, build the ancestral hall, and also be able to... Let's not talk about this. So now our focus is on this, and don't think about anything else. How about it?" I asked.

Yunwen nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."

"In addition to building the house, our daily life is also very important. I can take my time to build the house, but we also need to take care of our daily life. So my arrangement is that you take care of the situation in the wheat field for a while, and also make use of the stove to bake some earthenware pots, earthen bowls, earthen plates and the like for our convenience in the near future. Then take Sanfu for a stroll. I will go to the old house of Huoquan to find some limestone there. You should try to wait for me to come back before leaving." I said.

"To make your work easier, I will use charcoal to draw the foundation lines for you to facilitate bricklaying." Yunwen said.

"Okay, since you drew the line straight, I'll take care of it," I said.

"It's what I should do." Yunwen smiled.

I put on my backpack, carried the Golden Que Sword, and set off. I used the same old strategy. When I reached the coast, I walked along the woods. If I encountered a pack of wolves, I would hide in them to avoid disaster. But it was very quiet along the way and I didn't hear any unusual noises. In addition, with my hearing, it would be difficult for them to ambush me in such a quiet environment.

There was no smell of wolf feces or urine in this area, perhaps it had been a long time since I had been here. Soon I arrived at the old house of Huoquan. On the right side was the rocky area. Since it was not far from the sea, I could find a lot of white limestone. It looked like ordinary rock, but it was light white all over and powdery. I put them all in my backpack. These can be used directly as lime water, which is an important item for making cement.

In a blink of an eye, I collected a whole bag. I didn't dare fill it too full for fear that it would be too heavy and damage the backpack. Backpacks are very precious on this deserted island.

Moreover, this big bag began to put a lot of pressure on my shoulders, so I stopped carrying it and would do it again when needed. I planned to go back home. However, when I was about to go back, I heard a gurgling sound. I was startled and quickly hid behind a larger rock. I had some impression of this sound and pronunciation. It was the way those hyena people communicated.

Not long after, I saw two hyena men walking towards me from a distance, each carrying a rough iron bucket on their back. After passing the rock in front of me, they continued to move forward without noticing me. I heard a clanging sound from the iron bucket, and the tools in their hands were shaped like mattocks, so it seemed that they were going to mine.

They seemed to have come out of a secret passage, which was the secret place where the Sea Monster was located before, and the secret passage when they came up from the Mermaid Coast. There were a lot of dirt stains on their bodies. And since they came right after me, and I didn't hear any other sounds when I came just now, it meant that they were not going the same way as me.

If this is the road, it is no wonder that we never had any encounter with them when we lived in the old house in Huoquan.

It seems that they have a very good relationship with the mermaids.

But one thing surprised me, why is Hello Kitty engraved on their tin buckets?
