Chapter 262 Star's Holographic Deserted Island Life 7
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the people in front of her. They were really a bunch of idiots. She grabbed a handful of pebbles and threw them at the snakes without hesitation. The pebbles hit the target accurately like bullets, instantly smashing the snakes into a bloody mess.
Zhang Xiaojia tied up all the dozen snakes and said to the others: "There are fifteen snakes here in total, and I have helped you get rid of them. In return, you need to work for me for fifteen days. If anyone dares to refuse, then give it a try! Also, do you want to know why these snakes appeared here? If you want to know, then use something to exchange for the answer!" After that, Zhang Xiaojia showed a sly smile.
The five people were angry but dared not speak out. Jian Bai had no choice but to go up and say, "Zhang Xiaojia, you can take whatever you want from here. But could you please tell us what is attracting snakes here?"
Zhang Xiaojia looked at him, pointed at the lemons and said, "Tell me where these lemons are and I'll sue you."
Jian Bai told Zhang Xiaojia the location of the lemon and also told Zhang Xiaojia the location of the fresh water.
Zhang Xiaojia took the lemon and said bluntly, "Cnidium monnieri, snakeberry, and seven-leaf lily flower are three things that attract snakes. Throw them away. If you dare to throw them at the entrance of my cave, I will beat you into pig heads. It's late today. If you scream again, I will kill you."
Zhang Xiaojia returned to his cave, took out the snake gall and put it in a plastic bottle. This can be used as medicine.
She will skin the snake, add more salt to marinate it, and wait to dry it tomorrow. These will be her food reserves.
She took out a snake and made soup with it, and then took out a skirt and some clothes. She wanted to take a shower, otherwise she would stink to death.
The next day, when she woke up, only Jian Bai and Li Yang were there, the other three were gone.
Zhang Xiaojia didn't care. She just washed up and took them to the shelter she had chosen.
"These four large rocks here are perfect for me to use as pillars. This is my shelter. I plan to build a small hillside hut, and I was going to use two of the rocks. Now, do you want to join me, or go back?"
Jian Bai directly said, "Hang with you."
Li Yang said proudly, "I'm hanging out with Jian Bai."
Zhang Xiaojia drew a square with a military shovel.
Zhang Xiaojia looked at the square in front of her, her eyes gleaming with determination. She picked up a branch and drew a clear outline of the foundation on the ground. She turned to look at the two people beside her and said in a serious tone, "This will be our shelter. There are many typhoons in September, so we must speed up. We must build it within a month. You two will be responsible for digging one meter downwards, and I will be responsible for using the excavated soil to build the walls. Then, we will build a roof with branches and cover it with grass and leaves. This will be waterproof and warm. This place is spacious enough to separate four rooms: a kitchen, a shower room, and two bedrooms."
Hearing Zhang Xiaojia's plan, Li Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes and said disdainfully, "Why not just surround the cave? Isn't that the same thing?"
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaojia slapped him on the head without any hesitation and shouted, "Do you think I don't know? What if there's a typhoon? A huge typhoon could flood the cave entrance. Besides, this place is on higher ground and won't be flooded. Secondly, facing the sea in winter, are you crazy? It clearly states that there are four distinct seasons here, which means that the temperature here in winter is likely to drop to around -10 degrees Celsius. Do you have enough clothes to withstand the cold?"
Jian Bai nodded and said, "Okay, we'll work, but will you provide the food?"
Zhang Xiaojia nodded and said, "We can have dinner together. You can bring all your luggage to my cave later. You two can give me one backpack. It doesn't matter if it's an empty backpack. Today we are going to make tools. For example, make an adze, a tool for digging soil from the Stone Age. Pick up some stones and mix them with the soil you dig out to build a wall."
Li Bai raised his hand and said, "Excuse me, why don't we build a house out of wood? It will be simpler that way."
Zhang Xiaojia casually pointed to a tree and said, "Come and cut down this tree for me."
Li Bai was not convinced, so he took the engineer shovel and started chopping. In less than 5 minutes, the engineer shovel broke.
Zhang Xiaojia scoffed and said, "I have the tools, and I still need you~ I can build a nice wooden building by myself."
Li Bai had no choice but to start working according to Zhang Xiaojia's requirements. He first made a few adzes, then found stones and hay, and moved them back.
Zhang Xiaojia actually saw a field of sweet potatoes and picked some leaves. She didn't dig up the rest of the sweet potatoes for now. This was her backup food: sweet potato steamed bread, dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato vermicelli, and sweet potato cakes...
Looking at the time, it was 5 o'clock, and Zhang Xiaojia said directly, "Let's go back and eat."
After returning to the cave, Jian Bai brought the luggage over, and Zhang Xiaojia went to collect the fresh water equipment. He carried the basket and went to the beach and reef in front to catch mussels, conches, crabs, fish and the like.
When she came back, she saw Jian Bai. Zhang Xiaojia didn't ask any questions. She washed the snake that had been dried yesterday and divided it into three portions. She wanted the one in the middle to roast it later.
The other seafood is still boiled, but sweet potato leaves are added.
Jian Bai said calmly, "Aren't you going to ask Li Bai?"
Zhang Xiaojia looked indifferent and said calmly, "When you are here, I will do less work. When you are not here, I can do it well on my own, so I don't ask. You can come if you want. I won't force you."
Li Bai was about to leave when Wen Yueyue stopped him. He couldn't help but feel helpless. In the past, he did have a certain fondness for Wen Yueyue, but now he gradually realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.
As Jian Bai said yesterday, Zhang Xiaojia had nothing to do with them, so why did Wen Yueyue take the initiative to provoke her? Initially, Wen Yueyue's concern for Zhang Xiaojia was reasonable, but when she was beaten by Zhang Xiaojia, she continued to take the initiative to care for her again and again, which really made people question her motives.
If you think about it carefully, Wen Yueyue seems to be deliberately using her interaction with Zhang Xiaojia to win the audience's favor. She uses Zhang Xiaojia's indifference to contrast her own kindness, and uses Zhang Xiaojia's cruelty to contrast her own gentleness... Such behavior is really disgusting.
Compared to Wen Yueyue's complex thoughts, Zhang Xiaojia seems more genuine. She doesn't hide her inner feelings, is straightforward and frank, and even has some violent tendencies. It is precisely this consistency that makes Zhang Xiaojia easier to get along with than those who are good at pretending.
At least you don't have to worry about her stabbing you in the back, because she will kill you head-on.
Wen Yueyue said, "Li Bai, do you want to team up with Zhang Xiaojia?"
Li Bai nodded without saying anything bad. After all, he was the one he liked. He said gently, "Zhang Xiaojia helped us catch snakes yesterday, so we have to help him."
Wen Yueyue said unwillingly, "Will you come back?"
Li Bai smiled without saying anything, picked up the things and ran to Zhang Xiaojia
