I was still holding the basket in my hand, which contained the shrimp and crabs I had just picked up, and I couldn't help but feel my hands trembling a little.
When I killed the wild boar, I was scared, but not this terrified.
Although I was somewhat apprehensive when I killed the liger, it wasn't as dramatic as Peking Opera.
But when I saw Xiao Qiang at that moment, I felt that this seemingly weak and delicate woman was more terrifying than the monstrous creatures I had ever seen.
I took a deep breath, waiting for Xiao Qiang to come and kill me, but to my surprise, Xiao Qiang slowly walked to my side, looked at me and actually curled the corners of his mouth, his expression becoming somewhat gentle.
I was stunned and before I could react, Xiao Qiang had already reached out and taken my basket, pulling me to sit down on a rock nearby.
The waves crashed against the rocks, and the setting sun made the water shimmer and sparkle.
I dared not make a sound, much less look at Xiao Qiang, not knowing what she would say in a moment.
After a long while, Xiao Qiang finally took a deep breath.
"I know Xu Wei likes you, maybe even longer than I did, so if you really think about it, I'm the mistress..."
I quickly waved my hand and explained to her.
"No, no, that's not how it is. You know I've never accepted her before! The two of us, the two of us are the perfect match."
After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed, because no matter what, things between the three of us are now complicated.
Xiao Qiang looked at me and chuckled, tossing her long hair: "So I want to tell you that we've already talked it over. As long as you have me in your heart and her in your heart, I can get along with her peacefully. Besides, I don't dislike Xu Wei. It's just that I'm older than her, and she still has to call me 'sister,' which makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
I was even more surprised to see Xiao Qiang looking at me so openly and honestly.
Has Xiao Qiang been brainwashed by Xu Wei?
But considering Xu Weiping's personality of blushing when she speaks, I feel that something is still not right. Could it be that the two of them really had a fight?
"You and Xu Wei really only went to pick apples and catch some short-legged birds this afternoon and came back, and did nothing else?"
"What else would you want? Do you really want us to fight tooth and nail for you, and then one of us to die? You think too highly of yourself. Don't worry, we really didn't have any argument. We just had a calm chat. I think everyone's feelings deserve respect. She likes you, and I like you too. That's an indisputable fact. You can't choose, and I understand. So, as long as you have me in your heart, I don't care about anything else!"
Xiao Qiang speaks so clearly and deliberately, it's very pleasant to listen to her.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. I'm so hungry. We only ate two apples this afternoon, but my stomach is still growling. The other two have already started making hot pot broth in the cave. Do you want to come up and have a bite?"
To be honest, I've been eating too much soupy food lately, and I'm not interested in this so-called hot pot at all.
I said, what kind of hot pot broth could they possibly make on such a deserted island?
However, seeing that Xiao Qiang's stomach was indeed growling with hunger, I couldn't bear it and took her back to the cave.
While Wang Xiaoxiao and the other two were busy at work, a delicious aroma wafted from inside the cave. With the addition of chili peppers and wild vegetables, the hot pot became even more flavorful than before.
I collected so much seafood, and when I soaked it with the dried bear meat I had prepared earlier, the taste was surprisingly unique. But it was really delicious.
After dinner, Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang lay down on either side of me as usual. I held their hands tightly, feeling as if this was a gift from heaven.
If I hadn't ended up on this deserted island, how could a loser like me have these two beauties all of a sudden?
I slept exceptionally well that night, and the next morning, before I even opened my eyes, I felt someone tapping me on the shoulder.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Xiao Qiang looking at me and chuckling, while Xu Wei had already washed a tattered piece of clothing that we had just opened to use as a handkerchief and handed it to me.
"Brother Sihai, wipe your face and then eat something quickly. Chen Jian has been waiting for you at the bottom of the cave for a long time."
Xiao Qiang immediately chimed in, "Yes, I think Chen Jian seems quite anxious. You should go down and take a look."
After I finished eating, I kissed Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei before I finally descended the mountain, completely satisfied.
Chen Jian was squatting at the foot of the mountain, drawing circles with a twig. When he saw me, he immediately became excited: "Yesterday, we found a broken box under the ship's hold. Inside the box was a toolbox with lots of nails and a very, very big chainsaw. Although it's out of power, the chainsaw is very sharp and should still work. Shall we go to this cave today and take a good look?"
Having settled things with Xu Wei and Xiao Qiang, I was full of energy, and when I heard Chen Jian say that, I nodded in agreement.
"Then hurry up and tell someone to pack our things, let's leave now."
Chen Jian cheered happily and skipped to Baiwei's cabin. Not long after, Wang Ping and the others came out carrying a large box.
Wang Ping looked at me with a happy expression. The chainsaw inside was very sharp, and there was a replacement saw blade next to it. This way, we wouldn't have to use the knife to chop wood anymore.
"This saves a lot of trouble, and the big rope we got from Lin Xubo has come in handy. I think we should go today!"
I nodded and prepared many more torches. We also brought our own homemade fire-making tools, and a large group of us marched to the mountaintop.
This deserted island has no shortage of trees, but we can't cut them down in large swaths.
Finally, it was decided to collect tree trunks by cutting them down one by one near our mountain.
After arranging all the procedures, I finally followed Chen Jian to the top of the mountain. We selected the four strongest trees on the mountain, tied them together with rope, and made a fulcrum based on the principle of a lever. We were ready to transport the logs up one by one after they were cut.
Chen Jian was the most energetic, always busy running around doing things.
Fortunately, there's a small waterfall nearby where we can get fresh water, and the water here is very clear and sweet with no pollution.
Our plan for this trip is that we won't go back until we've built this treehouse, so time is very tight.
Everyone was busy as bees. Wang Ping and I weren't resting either. We started by searching the neighborhood for wooden sticks of similar size, and then we began expanding our territory and building a fence.
However, these white-collar workers from big cities had absolutely no experience in this area, so I was the one giving instructions on almost everything and procedures. I never imagined that I would one day become a contractor.
But this feeling is really great!
