We carried these short-legged birds and food back with us. One of the short-legged birds died on the way, but it wasn't a pity. We could just stew some jicama when we got back and have a good meal of bird meat.
Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei took the remaining good short-legged birds to the top of the mountain, where they were given water and food.
I was afraid the birds would jump off the mountain, and I couldn't keep them tied up with ropes forever, so I found a lot of branches and arranged them into a large fence to keep the short-legged birds inside.
Now we've become professional chicken farmers.
However, having these things made us feel more at ease. Besides the fact that they lay eggs every day, these short-legged birds have a lot of fat and very firm meat, which tastes delicious.
Xiao Qiang's leg swelling has subsided, but it is still bruised and purple, so she can't get out of bed and has to stay in bed every day.
At first it was fine, but after a while she couldn't stand it anymore and kept asking to go out and sunbathe.
The cave was indeed damp, but luckily the weather was quite nice in the afternoon, so I carried Xiao Qiang to the top of the mountain for a stroll.
Xiao Qiang was very happy. She took a quick bath and changed her clothes by the hot spring, feeling refreshed.
"Sihai, thank you for saving me time and time again."
Xiao Qiang apologized to me and thanked me.
She also told me that she regretted running away that day. She was really angry at the time, but she ran far away and started to get scared after dark, but she forgot the way back.
After walking around for a while, I heard some noises coming from the woods. In a panic, I ran inside and ended up falling into the deep hole.
“At the time, I thought I was definitely dead, but I didn’t expect you to come looking for me. I will never be so willful again, so as not to implicate you.”
Seeing how humble Xiao Qiang was, I couldn't bring myself to complain about her anymore.
Moreover, Xiao Qiang has been punished.
"As long as you keep a calm mindset and always remember that on this deserted island, we are the closest people to you now. When you ran away, Wang Xiaoxiao and Xu Wei were terrified."
Xiao Qiang and Wang Xiaoxiao had long since reconciled. After all, during the time she was injured, Wang Xiaoxiao had been taking care of her, giving her medicine, wiping her body, and preparing food and water for her every day.
Zhao Xiaoqiang nodded, a hint of shyness on her face. She bit her lip and looked at me hesitantly, saying, "When I ran away that day, were you worried? Were you scared? Were you afraid I would die? Or be eaten by wild animals?"
Women always want others to care about them. Although I've never been in a relationship, I still know this.
Looking at Xiao Qiang, he nodded solemnly: "Of course, I was terrified when you ran away, but who knew you ran so fast. By the time we got down the mountain, you were already gone. You can't be so reckless next time."
After saying a few words, Xiao Qiang's mood improved a lot. She struggled to stand up, but she still dared not put any weight on her injured leg. I reached out to help her, but Xiao Qiang, whether on purpose or because she really lost her balance, fell directly into my arms, wrapped her arms around my neck, and looked at me with a flushed face.
"Zhao Sihai, I know you like me, right? Now that I'm here, I have nothing to repay you with, so why don't you... take me?"
Hsiao Chiang seemed very shy when she said this, and lowered her head without making a sound.
"You don't need to repay me, you just need to be a good girl and listen to me..."
But before I could finish speaking, Xiao Qiang suddenly raised her head and kissed me.
Caught off guard, Microsoft's smooth interface captivated me.
I couldn't help but deepen the kiss again.
Just then, Wang Xiaoxiao's voice suddenly came from down the mountain: "You two come down quickly, it's time to eat! I made bird soup today!"
I quickly and gently pushed Xiao Qiang away. Xiao Qiang's face was still very red, and she looked shy and timid with watery eyes.
She threw herself at me several times, and even if I were a block of wood, I would know what she meant.
But there are other people in the cave. Even if I have this thought in my mind, I can't do it in front of so many people.
It seems I can only bear with it for now. Once I get them all out of here, I'll teach this woman a lesson and show her what I'm capable of.
I helped Xiao Qiang down the mountain, and when we returned to the cave, Wang Xiaoxiao had already prepared all the food, and even put a bird's leg in Xiao Qiang's bowl.
The other bird leg was given to me.
Xu Wei smiled and handed us chopsticks made from tree branches: "Eat quickly, Sister Xiao Qiang, we put a lot of shrimp in here! We caught a lot of seafood at high tide this time, and although some of them are small, they taste incredibly fresh!"
Xiao Qiang looked at Wang Xiaoxiao, Xu Wei, and Liu Jiaojiao and thanked them softly. The women laughed heartily.
I wolfed down the bird leg and ate quite a bit of bird meat. The stewed jicama inside melted in my mouth and tasted delicious. It also had kelp and small shrimp. Although it looked like a haphazard stew, it was really delicious.
After we finished eating, Wang Xiaoxiao frowned as she looked at me.
“We don’t have much rice left, and we only have a little bit of noodles left. I’m afraid we won’t have any staple food to eat next. So I think we should hold off on eating rice and noodles unless we really want to.”
Xu Wei nodded: "Also, we don't have much firewood left in our cave. But you've already given Bai Wei and the others so much food, so it's probably impossible to get them to help us collect firewood again. So I was thinking that we should go to the woods tomorrow to collect some dry branches and build up more firewood, which is always safer."
After Bai Wei and the others helped us gather firewood before, they now want me to go out and do it myself, but I'm a bit lazy.
However, we did give them so much food yesterday, so it's probably not a good idea to ask them to help us gather firewood again.
But they didn't know where to find fruit, so they ate some sour, astringent, and unidentified green fruits, which certainly didn't taste as good as apples.
Using fruit as a form of exchange is also a solution.
I reassured Wang Xiaoxiao and the others that I had a plan for gathering firewood.
After a few people quickly packed their things, I leaned on Xiao Qiang and got into bed. As I lay down on the edge of the bed, Xiao Qiang actually reached out and held my hand, her little finger tickling my palm. This made me feel like I was being scratched by a cat, and I couldn't wait to turn around and take her right there and then.
Just as we were getting intimate, a commotion suddenly broke out down the mountain. Listening closely, it sounded like a chaotic scene involving men and women.
Xiao Qiang was taken aback, and I immediately picked up the revolver that was lying next to me and went to the cave entrance to take a look.
They then discovered that there were also people standing opposite Bai Wei and his group for a while, and the two sides were on the verge of a fight.
Upon closer inspection of the number of people, it became clear that this was not an internal conflict among Bai Wei's group, but rather that the additional group seemed to have just arrived at the shore.
