Including what we just threw onto the beach, this is enough for us to eat today. We should be content with what we have.
I tied the bottom of the T-shirt together and put one hand through the sleeve, thus making a simple cloth bag.
Xiao Qiang reached out and touched my chest, saying, "Young man, you're in great shape, you even have muscles."
I ignored her and handed her one of the spears. "Eat some fruit first. We'll go into the woods later. You protect Xu Wei."
The reason I didn't give the spear to Xu Wei is because she's too frail. In comparison, Xiao Qiang's personality is better suited to perform in dangerous situations.
After I finished eating, I collected the remaining fruit and put it in a simple cloth bag. "Ready to go."
Just then I heard Xu Wei exclaim, "Brother Sihai, look over there, isn't that our company's Manager Lin?"
Following the direction Xu Wei pointed, they indeed saw a person who had just emerged from the woods, carrying something in his arms and running for his life.
Xu Wei shouted excitedly, "Manager Lin, we're here!"
I was just about to stop her when I shouted it out.
I knew I was in trouble, so I grabbed Xu Wei and ran backwards, shouting to Xiao Qiang, "Back up! Get into the sea!"
Xiao Qiang didn't react at first, but instinctively followed me and backed away.
As soon as we retreated into the sea, we saw two black wolves following behind Manager Lin.
At this point, I got closer and could see clearly that this idiot was holding a wolf cub in his hand.
You've already kidnapped their child, do you think they'll let you go?
Manager Lin saw us and, as if seeing a lifeline, her eyes lit up: "Xiao Qiang, save me, please save me, there are wolves!"
After shouting, he ran towards us.
Wolves can swim, I thought to myself, "Oh no, you two get out of here, this idiot is going to get us killed."
As we were talking, Manager Lin was less than twenty meters away from us, and I could even clearly see the fierce glint in the eyes of the two wolves.
"Zhao Si, great! You're here too! Quickly save me and help me block the wolves!" Manager Lin shouted at me in a commanding tone.
When I heard Zhao Si's name, I didn't want to deal with this idiot anymore. Damn it, you only remember me now? Why didn't you do this earlier?
Seeing that I remained unmoved, Manager Lin suddenly burst into a tirade: "Zhao Si, you son of a bitch, have you forgotten who I am? I'm your boss, the HR manager. Believe me or not, I'll fire you as soon as we get back!"
Manager Lin's full name is Lin Xubo. He is always arrogant and domineering in the company. When I joined the company with my discharge certificate, he ripped me off.
That idiot, he wanted my help but then cursed at me. It would be better if he just died here.
I turned and ran, yelling back, "Fine, fire me then! I'll just watch you get torn to pieces by wolves."
Lin Xubo panicked; the two wolves were practically biting his butt.
It's fortunate that he could run so fast despite weighing over 200 pounds; this proves that weight is not the key factor limiting speed.
This idiot rolled his eyes, couldn't catch me, and ran towards Xiao Qiang and the others, shouting for help as he ran.
"Damn it, Lin Xubo, you're not human!"
Now that things had come to this, I couldn't ignore it any longer. I charged at a wolf from the side, raised my spear, and plunged it fiercely into its eye.
Black Wolf's attention was entirely on Lin Xubo, and I stabbed him squarely, splattering blood all over my face.
I retreated after a single strike, abandoning my spear, and plunged into the sea, swimming towards the depths.
Two black wolves chased me, one chasing after the other, who continued chasing Lin Xubo.
I yelled at him, "You idiot, release the wolf cub right now, or you'll kill us all!"
"No, I haven't eaten for two days. If I leave it, what will I eat?"
If you're still thinking about food at a time like this, you'll eat yourself to death.
I was furious. "Then go die, you idiot!"
I turned around and pounced on the wolf that was chasing me, gripping the spear and pressing it forcefully into the seawater.
In the water, this beast is not as agile as me, and it was injured, its blood staining the sea red, attracting many fish.
Lin Xubo, realizing he was scared, abandoned the wolf cub to Xiao Qiang at the crucial moment.
When I saw this, my eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This guy is a complete scumbag!
"Xiao Qiang, stab his eyes with a spear, don't close them!"
I can almost picture Xiao Qiang, Xu Wei, and the black wolf getting bitten.
But the black wolf didn't attack Xiao Qiang and the others. Instead, it picked up a wolf cub, glanced in my direction, and let out a pitiful whimper.
I was taken aback. This beast is quite intelligent; it knows how to feel sadness.
He swam towards the shore with the wolf cub in his mouth, and after returning to the shore, he paced anxiously.
I understand what Black Wolf means. It released Xiao Qiang and the others in exchange for me releasing its wife.
At that moment, I was in a dilemma.
Wolves are vengeful animals. If I release this black wolf, I might make three enemies in the future.
But it's also possible that they'll just let it go and not interfere with each other.
If I don't let go, it will definitely be a fight to the death. When the little wolf grows up, the big black wolf will definitely not let us go.
I made a bold decision and let go of the spear in my hand.
Upon seeing this, the black wolf on the shore jumped into the sea with a splash and swam towards me.
I took the opportunity to swim over to Xiao Qiang's side.
From afar, I saw it carrying the wounded black wolf back to the shore, howling incessantly.
To be honest, I feel that this wolf is much more loyal and righteous than that idiot Lin Xubo.
I rushed over and punched Lin Xubo in the fat face. "Fuck your mother, are you even a man? Using a woman as a shield!"
Lin Xubo was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back, but he still kept cursing and saying he'd make me pay when we got back.
I grabbed him by the collar and dragged him ashore, then slapped him twice across the face. "Fine, you can fire me when we get back, you can have someone kill me, but I can kill you right now!"
Lin Xubo was stunned by my beating and trembled for a long time without being able to speak.
"Brother Sihai, please don't kill anyone." Xu Wei grabbed my hand nervously.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him."
Hearing me say that, Lin Xubo breathed a sigh of relief.
I grinned and pointed at the blood in the sea, saying, "I'll just throw him in the sea to feed the fish."
Lin Xubo shuddered. I smelled a foul odor, and he actually peed himself in fear.
He knelt down before me with a thud. "Brother Zhao, Brother Hai, please forgive my rudeness. I was just scared out of my wits. I'm so sorry."
Seeing that I remained unmoved, he went to ask for Rose.
Rose is much more cold-blooded than me. She took a step back and said with disgust, "Don't touch me. Didn't you try to sleep with me at the company before? Get out!"
Lin Xubo then turned to Xu Wei and pleaded, "Clerk Xu, please persuade Zhao Sihai. He can't kill me, or he'll go to jail when he gets back."
I was just trying to scare him. I didn't really intend to kill him. The main problem was that with these two women around, it would be hard to explain if I actually killed him.
"Alright, get up. Do you know where the others are?"
Lin Xubo felt like he had been granted a pardon, bowing and scraping, just like when he used to fawn over the company's CEO.
"I saw it. The day before yesterday, I went into the woods with Xiao Xu and Xiao Wang and even caught two fish to eat. But then two wolves appeared out of nowhere and chased us for two days. I got separated from them. Coincidentally, I later saw a wolf cub. I had been hungry for two days and was thinking of feeding it to him when I ran into the black wolf that was coming back. And that's how I met you guys."
I looked at him with disdain and asked, "Did they get separated, or did you leave them to feed the wolves?"
"We got separated, we got separated." Lin Xubo avoided eye contact, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
I couldn't be bothered to argue with him. You have to be careful when dealing with this kind of person, always on high alert, because you never know when he might betray you.
I asked again, "You said you caught fish, do you have fresh water?"
He nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's over there not far away."
I clicked my tongue. "Alright, lead the way."
Lin Xubo's eyes darted around as he stared at my simple cloth bag. He licked his lips and said, "I haven't eaten or drunk anything for two days."
I pretended not to see the resentment in his eyes, took out two fruits from my bag and tossed them to him, "Okay, eat them quickly, then we'll be on our way."
He stuffed the two fruits into his mouth like a starving ghost, as if afraid someone would take them from him, a stark contrast to his usual respectable demeanor at the company.
After we finished eating, I said, "Let's go, lead the way."
Once inside the woods, the scorching heat from the sun lessened considerably, replaced by a humid, muggy feeling.
After walking for about two kilometers, the two women were so tired they were out of breath. Finally, I heard a rushing sound.
"There's water, and it's not far!"
I grabbed Lin Xubo, who was leading the way, and raised my hand to signal the two women behind me to stop.
"Wait, don't rush over. Where there's water, there are wild animals. You wait here, I'll go scout ahead."
Lin Xubo said in a very soft voice, "Tch, what a coward."
I glanced at him but ignored him. Someone like him would never survive more than ten chapters in a novel.
I carefully approached the edge of the rainforest, crouched down, and saw a stream about two meters wide not far away.
The current was rapid, but the water was clear and had a refreshing scent.
I looked around and stared intently at the grassy area by the river.
If there is feces, it means that this place is dangerous and animals often come to drink water.
We've been lucky; it's safe here, and the grass is clean.
I called out in a low voice into the woods, "Come out, it's safe."
Upon hearing this, the two girls rushed out immediately, and I even doubted whether their earlier display of exhaustion was genuine.
With water available, I no longer have to eat sour and astringent fruit, and I am very happy.
I took off my pants and jumped in, taking a refreshing shower that made me feel completely comfortable.
I scooped up some water and took two sips; it was sweet and delicious, and completely free of any pollution.
I looked up and saw Xiao Qiang staring at me from the shore. "You guys go away, Xu Wei and I need to take a shower."
"Uh..." My gaze slowly shifted from her face to her chest, and I swallowed hard.
"Hey, where are you looking?" Xiao Qiang glared at me. "Don't even think about peeking, I'll be watching you!"
I gave a guilty smile. "Am I that kind of person?"
Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei said in unison, "It's you!"
Unable to gain any advantage with their eyes, they could only try to win with their mouths: "Fine, fine, I won't look. They're just two lumps of meat, what's so interesting about them?"
Xiao Qiang's face turned red with anger. "You scoundrel, get out of here!"
I never imagined that I could reach a consensus with Fatty Nenglin and agree to go to the river to spy on them.
As soon as I peeked out of the woods, I saw Xiao Qiang staring at me with a smile, with Xu Wei's clothes lying next to her.
Well, these two women are quite shrewd; they even know to wash them one by one.
Rose looked at me with a smile, "What, didn't you say there wasn't much to see?"
I scratched my head awkwardly and made up an excuse, "I was just worried you might be in danger, so I came to check on you."
No sooner had I finished speaking than I heard Xu Wei scream from not far away.
