Holding those two eggs, I felt a little excited.
If we raise these chickens well, we won't have to worry about eggs anymore!
I happily took the egg back to the cave. Wang Xiaoxiao and the others were also quite happy, but Xiao Qiang was listless and couldn't move at all; if she moved, she would...
This is a bit awkward, since I have four women here, and they all do this; it's still quite troublesome without modern amenities.
Therefore, we still need to find some alternatives.
But right now, the most important thing is to get to know the island properly.
It has been almost half a month since the accident, and the rescue team has yet to arrive. Although the women haven't mentioned it, everyone wants to get back as soon as possible.
After a simple breakfast, I held a meeting with a few women to share my thoughts with them.
“Although we don’t have to worry about food and drink now, if we keep waiting for rescue, it’s not good to be stranded here as wild people. So I think we should find a way to save ourselves.”
Wang Xiaoxiao sighed.
"Self-rescue? But we have no equipment right now, and this sea stretches as far as the eye can see. We don't even know where it ends. Wouldn't it be more dangerous to just recklessly go out to sea like this?"
I know what Wang Xiaoxiao said, but I'm losing more and more confidence that we'll just stay here and wait for outside help.
Although we can now find food and have no shortage of fresh water, all of this is predicated on us being in good health.
If someone gets sick but there's no medicine to treat them, won't they still die?
"Getting out of here won't be a matter of a day or two. I think we should first take a look at the environment around this island before thinking of other ways. Only by thoroughly exploring this island and writing distress symbols or marks in every place, no matter which country's territory this is, someone will definitely find it, and then there will still be hope."
Xu Wei nodded in agreement after hearing what I said.
Liu Jiaojiao naturally had no objections.
Xiao Qiang was feeling unwell and was curled up on the straw bed, half asleep and half awake.
"In that case, starting today, after we finish eating each day, we'll pile up stones on the beach to signal for help, and then slowly walk around the island. I also want to see just how big this island is."
The matter was settled, but the trouble was that the trip would take several days, since the island was so big and it was hard to know how long it would take.
Wang Xiaoxiao was the first to look at me.
“Let’s go together. I’m stronger than them. They can stay here and watch the house. If we go together, we can get back faster.”
Xu Wei immediately retorted after hearing Wang Xiaoxiao's words.
"That won't do. If Brother Zhao leaves, what if Bai Wei and his men come and cause trouble? We'll be finished! The three of us definitely can't withstand them!"
Liu Jiaojiao's expression was complicated, but she quickly echoed Xu Wei's words.
"Bai Wei and the others know we have food here, so they'll definitely come back. It's really not safe without Brother Zhao."
That means there's no hope for them to take the island for a spin.
With me here, Lin Xubo still dares to bring people to provoke us. If we abandon these women here, things will only get more complicated.
I felt a little uncomfortable, after all, I didn't want to stay here forever, but I really couldn't leave right now...
Feeling very agitated, I got up, left the cave, climbed to the top of the mountain, sat on a rock, felt the wind blowing, and looked at the boundless sea. My heart ached.
That bastard Bai Wei, he didn't even bother to find a decent boat when he went out to sea for fun. Now everyone's been stranded on this unknown island, living in fear.
"Why don't we build a ship first? Since you want to go out, you should be prepared."
I turned my head and saw Xiao Qiang standing behind me, wearing a wolf skin.
"Building ships is no easy task, especially since we currently have nothing..."
Xiao Qiang sat down on the rock next to me, her long hair brushing against my face, which eased my restless heart.
"You're our pillar of strength now. What will we do if you lose heart?"
As Xiao Qiang spoke, she turned to look at me and suddenly smiled slightly.
Xiao Qiang is very beautiful, with big eyes and an oval face, but she has never smiled at me before. Now that she has suddenly smiled at me, I am a little taken aback.
"Where am I discouraged? If we really can't get out, so be it. Anyway, I'll have you all with me. I'll make you all my wives! How great is that! And then we'll have a few more kids!"
Xiao Qiang wasn't angry; instead, she chuckled, her eyes crinkling into crescents. For a moment, I was completely captivated by her.
"You're really a toad trying to eat swan meat, dream on!"
I felt that Xiao Qiang was very close to me, so close that I could kiss her on the face if I just turned my head.
Just as I was lost in my fantasies, Xiao Qiang suddenly leaned over and gave me a quick kiss.
I felt soft, wet lips touch my lips.
My mind went blank for a second, and by the time I came to my senses, Xiao Qiang had already gotten up and gone down the mountain.
This woman is quite adept at being a scoundrel!
My heart was racing, and I kept replaying what had just happened in my mind.
After washing my face and drinking some water, I gradually calmed down. Right now, I really need to make preparations. I can't just sit and wait to die.
I took a deep breath and returned to the cave, where the women all looked worried.
"Brother Zhao, don't worry, we'll find a way to leave."
Xu Wei leaned closer quietly, biting her lip, looking so pitiful that it made me laugh.
"No rush. Let's build the boat first, then pile up the stones, and then reinforce the entrance to this cave properly. We must make sure we can hold out until we get out."
Without further ado, several women quickly followed me down the mountain and built a large SOS sign on the beach using big rocks.
I went into the woods to look for suitable trees.
We didn't rest for several days in a row.
Once Xiao Qiang recovered, she quickly joined the group. Many piles of stones were set up on the beach, and a large scarecrow was made of tree branches on the mountain, which was very eye-catching.
Without a shovel, they used stones to chip away at the stones little by little.
Since there was no rope, I used a knife to make wedges little by little.
Although we were clumsy, at least we had something to look forward to.
The big tree was incredibly heavy, so I used vines to tie it up and slowly dragged it to a sunny spot to dry.
There was no shortage of stones; I smashed out a large stone slab, which could even be used as an axe.
Xu Wei and the other women spent their days collecting various tough and unbreakable vines and bark, and then using branches of uniform thickness to make rafts.
We discovered a coconut grove on the other side of the mountain.
Besides being edible, coconuts also provide buoyancy, which can be used to tie them to the bottom of the boat to increase its buoyancy.
But just as we finally finished making the simple little boat, Bai Wei arrived, bringing everyone with him.
