That night, I also helped a little. I helped to get a basin of water and put it at the door of the house. They used the washcloth for convenience, and then I helped to pour it out. After that, Yunwen came out and told me that everything was fine, so I went downstairs to sleep. I lay on the place made of hay and straw mats, covered with animal skins that were rough and rubbing against my skin, and lying on the pillow made of wheat bran and rags. I felt a lot of emotion in my heart.

As the saying goes, take everything into consideration and treat everyone equally. With Hu Lingshang's reminder, I also realized that I have not been able to do it well.

How well do I know Song Bailu? At most, I can only perceive her as an ugly person through her every conspiracy, but human nature has good and bad, just like what Hu Lingshang said at the dinner table, there are good and evil monsters, and there are also people who kill and save people. There are two sides to the same coin. This is the perspective from which to look at things.

Now I understand that this island has been hit by endless disasters. If I rely on myself alone, I don’t know how many times I would have died. But if I follow the kingly way, rally people’s hearts and unite as one, only then can I truly protect myself and everyone, including my Yunwen.

Isn’t this exactly what I want?

After some painstaking meditation, before I knew it, my eyelids were drooping and I slowly fell asleep to the sound of these words replaying in my mind.

When I woke up the next day, the girls were already chatting at the dining table. The room was filled with their voices. I stood up and felt extremely uncomfortable in my back and spine. The concrete floor was even harder than the mud floor. I felt really uncomfortable after a night's sleep. I wonder if Song Bailu wakes up the same way as I do every day.

I got up and went out of the dark corner. When I got outside, the three girls saw me coming out and looked at me. Yunwen saw that I had a drooping back, so she came over and helped me massage my back. She was very distressed and helped me to sit down.

Bai Lu said with a sense of guilt: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhou Bo, I made your sleep uncomfortable."

I shook my head and said, "If you can sleep well, then I can sleep well too. I will get used to it after sleeping for a while."

She thought about it carefully, her face turned pale, she stood up, took two steps back, and said, "Brother Zhou Bo, you mean you sleep in that place, give the second floor to Yunwen and Sister Lingshang, and drive me away, right? Because you already know that I'm not pregnant, so you still want to send me away!"

She was a little emotional, her eyes were full of fear, I immediately stood up and supported her, saying: "That's not what I meant. What I meant is that from now on, you three sisters can sleep upstairs, and I can sleep downstairs. As for why, maybe it's because of a sense of guilt. You did nothing wrong. Everyone hopes to survive. When forced into a desperate situation, the only way to save yourself is to find a way to reach the life-saving things. This is instinct, just like you used those methods only because you were afraid of death, which is also instinct."

Her emotions calmed down a little, but she was very surprised. Perhaps it was the first time she heard me say such words.

"You're not going to chase me away? Aren't you afraid that I will harm Sister Yunwen again? Weren't you wary of me last night? Why did you suddenly change?" Bai Lu said.

I held her hand, patted the back of her hand gently, and said, "If you really want to hurt Yunwen, it's because I didn't take care of you enough, which made you feel uneasy. I have to take responsibility because I am the leader and you feel biased. I can admit that I really only love Yunwen in my heart, but from now on, I can also tell you that I am also your leader. Your life safety is as important as Zhang Yunwen. This is my responsibility. You follow me, and your life is also involved with my responsibility. From now on, I will no longer treat you specially and treat you equally."

Except for Hu Lingshang, the other two girls looked confused and thought I had taken the wrong medicine.

"So, Brother Zhou Bo, what you mean is that you want to keep me and treat me and Zhang Yunwen equally?" Bai Lu asked.

"It's still a little difficult to treat everyone equally, but I will try my best. But I also admit to you that I do have feelings for Yunwen, so I can only ensure that the treatment is as balanced as possible, but I may not be able to do it emotionally." I said.

Song Bailu understood what she heard. Her eyes were full of tears. Perhaps it was because today was her special day. Her emotions were much more intense than usual. At this moment, her eyes were full of tears and she cried bitterly, saying, "Have you really forgiven me? Do I really deserve to be forgiven? I thought today would be the day I would die. I thought I would be buried in a lonely land like Yingchun, and soon I would be forgotten by you. I thought... In short, I am very lucky to be able to stay. As for the rest, I really dare not even think about it."

I held her in my arms, and she sobbed for a long time. The long-standing sadness, sorrow and grievance burst out in an instant, and her tears kept flowing down my clothes. I patted her back and glanced at Yunwen. Yunwen was quite satisfied with the way I handled it. Perhaps under the influence of Hu Lingshang, or perhaps after so much time had passed, her grudge against Bai Lu was no longer so strong. Sometimes a girl's emotions come and go quickly, and it's just like this.

Besides, I made my words very clear and they didn't cause any misunderstanding on her part. Perhaps this is a way of taking all aspects into consideration.

Looking at Hu Lingshang again, she gave me a thumbs up, but her movements were a little weird and unfamiliar. I guess she just learned it from the girls last night.

After Bai Lu finished crying, I helped her sit on the chair and then said, "Okay, everyone listen to me now. After so many ups and downs, we should not split up. Now we are facing a powerful enemy, so we should unite as one, otherwise our strength will only become weaker and weaker. I also hope that everyone can behave themselves and abide by the rules in the future, and not destroy the unity of the team. Taking Song Yingchun as a precedent, her death was due to her disobedience and self-righteousness! Since we are a team, not only I am responsible for the team, but everyone needs to be responsible, otherwise the result will be the same as Song Yingchun's. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" the girls answered together, and Song Bailu answered the most vigorously.

"Right now we have two most important things to solve. The first is to investigate the whereabouts of the Cursed Peter recently. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will ensure that we have priority in intelligence and can decide whether to attack or defend. The second is to deal with our survival problem. Now that the population has increased and there are many little foxes, food, shelter, etc. need to be arranged, so we need to arrange manpower for food picking. In addition to the above issues, in terms of the future system, we will still return to the system of taking turns to watch. Lingshang, if you don't understand, I will let Bailu explain it to you later." I said.

The girls nodded, and this basically sorted out the situation.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about today's arrangements. Bailu, you've had a special day recently, so just go upstairs and rest. Yunwen, you'll be mainly responsible for taking care of Bailu today and stewing some soup to replenish qi and nourish the blood. In addition, you'll have to pick up some firewood nearby when you have time. You'll also be responsible for the three hottest days of summer. Hu Lingshang will come with me to water the fields, and there will be some other chores to help you get used to it. After we finish breakfast, the two of us will go around to investigate the traces of the curser, and collect some fruits and the like to ensure that there is enough food. Do you have any objections?" I asked.

"No."

After that, we each went about our business. What I didn't expect was that the foxes didn't eat the food we cooked. Instead, they were taken outside by Hu Lingshang. I saw them just drinking some nectar and morning dew, and at most eating some wild fruits to fill their stomachs. However, Hu Lingshang was very strict and didn't let them eat meat, so they basically didn't touch the food we cooked.

Today's breakfast is a bowl of beef bone noodle soup, with some side dishes and a plate of pickles, which is enough to fill me up.

Not long after, Hu Lingshang also came back and drank two sips of ginseng tea and finished her breakfast.

So I took her to the fields and taught her how to use water to irrigate the potatoes. She was curious and took the initiative to learn. After that, I said goodbye to Yunwen and went out.

Just as Hu Lingshang was about to take me to the clouds, Yunwen came out of the house, held my hand, and said, "Go early and come back early."

I still felt a sense of urgency. After all, Hu Lingshang was so beautiful. I immediately kissed her on the lips. Her face turned slightly red and she felt much more relieved. I whispered in her ear, "I will."
