The newly moved-in treehouse hasn't had windows installed yet.
Fortunately, the weather has been very nice these past two days, and there's no sign of rain.
So we can ignore this window tonight, but it definitely needs to be put on the agenda tomorrow.
Firstly, to avoid the torrential rain, we were at a loss.
Secondly, if it weren't for this window, many flies and insects would have crawled into our treehouse. I wouldn't care, but the women would have suffered.
Also, Sao Qiang and the others are discussing building fences in front of and behind our treehouse.
This is also a very large project.
Moreover, now that we've moved here, there's absolutely no way to shake off Shiroo and his gang.
However, I've come to accept their existence now; after all, there's strength in numbers.
If I had been with a few women when we encountered that python this afternoon, we would probably be swallowed whole by now.
But because of Wang Ping and his group, we managed to kill the python in the end and have a hearty snake soup.
So as long as they don't come looking for trouble, I'm very willing to get along with them peacefully.
When it was time to sleep that night, the three women each returned to the small rooms I had arranged for them.
I'm the only one without a place to sleep, but if I go to Xiao Qiang's place, Xu Wei will definitely be unhappy.
If I go to Xu Wei's place, Xiao Qiang will definitely overthink things again.
Immediately, I regretted why I had to be lazy. If I had actually built a small house for myself, wouldn't I have saved myself so much trouble?
Just as she was hesitating, Xiao Qiang suddenly came out of her little house.
"You can sleep at my place tonight. Tomorrow we'll partition off a small room for you in the warehouse area, that will be more convenient."
Just as I was hesitating, Xu Wei came out as well. When she saw Xiao Qiang and me talking, she frowned but didn't say anything. After taking a sip of water, she turned around and went back to her own room.
She even used one of my large t-shirts that I had given her before to make a curtain-like structure and put it at the doorway.
Xiao Qiang pouted: "Forget it, if it doesn't work out, I'll just spend the night with Wang Xiaoxiao tonight, and you can sleep here with me."
After saying that, I ignored them and went to Wang Xiaoxiao's room.
I immediately felt like I had shot myself in the foot, and it hurt so much.
But things have already come to this, so tomorrow I'll have to figure out how to carve out another room for myself, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have anywhere to sleep.
In the end, I went to Xiao Qiang's room and lay down on that hard wooden bed. I fell asleep almost immediately.
The next morning, after we had breakfast, I took a few women down the mountain.
We collected a lot of branches at the foot of the mountain, then used ropes to hoist them up to the top of the mountain, and started to mark out a space next to our treehouse.
Wang Xiaoxiao said he wanted to build a small chicken coop behind our treehouse.
In this way, if a heavy rainstorm really happens, these short-legged birds won't get injured or die.
Although it's a bit troublesome, it's definitely necessary.
So when I was marking out my territory, I made sure to extend the area to the back a bit.
Wang Ping and the others saw it, but no one said anything. However, Bai Wei walked over to us and asked a question.
"What do you mean by this? Aren't we going to live together? Why are you marking off such a large area? Won't that reduce the space we have to move around in? Zhao Sihai, you can't be this selfish, can you?"
I knew Bai Wei was a troublemaker.
At first, I was still hesitant about how to tell Bai Wei and his group that we also had to follow the rules here.
After all, nothing can be accomplished without rules. I want them to know that the way we live now is that only through your own efforts can you get food and a warm place to live.
We must make Bai Wei and his group realize that relying on others is useless.
They can't place all their hopes on me, otherwise I'll be exhausted and still not necessarily get any credit.
But I didn't expect that before I could figure out how to clearly tell them what was going to happen, Bai Wei had already come to my door.
I put down what I was doing, stood up, looked at Bai Wei, and cleared my throat.
"Mr. Bai, you still don't understand. We're stranded on this deserted island, where one wrong step could mean certain death. We're not participating in some variety show. You have to be constantly vigilant about the dangers around you, and you must know what's edible, what will fill you up, and what's dangerous. Of course, things were a bit awkward on the beach, and I want to live peacefully with you all here. Even if we're neighbors, we can help each other. Although we all discovered this mountain together, what's it to you if I mark my territory? We're about ten meters apart. Are you going to walk around my house every day for your stroll?"
Bai Wei frowned as he listened to me, about to say something, when Chen Jianli immediately rushed forward to smooth things over for us.
"Mr. Bai, Brother Sihai has his reasons for wanting to claim this yard. He has a lot of stuff here, and he keeps so many short-legged birds. Those short-legged birds can't just roam freely here, otherwise, who knows what might catch and eat them. Once Brother Sihai has taken good care of these birds, if we find any fruits or vegetables to eat, we can come here to exchange them for bird eggs. After all, bird eggs are very rich in protein. And if we can catch these short-legged birds, we can also claim our own territory, just like living in the countryside, living our own lives. That would be quite comfortable."
When Bai Wei heard Chen Jian say that, he turned to look at Chen Jian, frowned, then turned back to glare at me fiercely before turning to leave.
I felt that since Bai Wei had already come to my door, I might as well just tell them everything I wanted to say, so as to avoid any future conflicts.
He called out to Bai Wei at the exit.
"President Bai, I feel that we are all living in one big family, so I have to say some things beforehand, which can be considered as a set of rules."
Bai Wei didn't say anything, but he still stopped in his tracks.
"So what do you mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything, I just wanted to tell you that this exchange method must continue. For example, if I find something to eat, you have to bring something to exchange with me if you want it. After all, I'm not your servant, and I have no obligation to take care of your lives, right?"
Bai Wei's expression changed immediately after hearing what I said.
"But you're the most capable one among us. Don't you want to take care of us and let us starve to death?"
I never expected that the self-righteous Shiro would actually resort to moral blackmail and do so with such conviction.
It's true what they say, you should look at someone with new eyes after just one day apart!
