After they finished eating, they washed the dishes and put them away. Then they sat on the deck and waited for Xia Hua. Around noon, they finally appeared outside the island.
Xiao Yubai drove the yacht over, and only after the two of them got on did he drive it back a little.
"Huahua, are you in danger?" An Shuyi asked suspiciously.
A careful examination of her body revealed no injuries. Could the two have been playing together in the wild? That seemed unlikely. Yet her clothes were torn and her hair was a mess.
Xia Hua explained helplessly, "It's all for picking grapes. Those vines are not only numerous, but also extremely lush, so I had to crawl inside to find grapes, not letting a single one slip by."
She knew that Shushu would definitely ask when she got back, but she was too lazy to change. She would just take a shower when she got back and then change into something clean.
"It's good that you're alright. I was worried that you might have been in danger."
"Shuyi, don't worry. I'll protect Huahua, she'll be fine. I'm going to wash my face first, and I'll come back for dinner. Have you eaten yet?" Cheng Yumo said.
"Not yet, we're waiting for you all. Huahua, do you want to go wash up first and then eat?"
“No need,” Xia Hua shook her head. “I’ll eat first, then take a shower, and then take a nap.”
She didn't sleep well last night, and this morning, Yu Mo woke her up. She just needed to sleep for a little while.
"Okay, I'll get the food now." He took out a bowl of stewed mutton, sweet and sour pork ribs, soy sauce chicken, stir-fried pork intestines, stir-fried tofu with chili peppers, as well as bowls, chopsticks, and several boxes of rice.
"Come and eat."
After finishing her meal, Xia Hua put all the fruit on the ground. "Shu Shu, put the fruit away. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
“Okay, go ahead,” An Shuyi replied while clearing away the dishes.
"Wife, I'll take the yacht over there and then go get some meat. You can cook it yourself. Call Hua Hua if you need anything," Xiao Yubai said.
It's only 1 p.m., we can still spend a few hours looking for animals.
"Okay, you drive over there, I'll clean this place up and then drive back."
After she finished cleaning up the dishes, she drove the yacht back to its previous position, went to the cabin to wash the dishes and chopsticks, put them away cleanly, and then returned to the deck.
Looking at the fruit, I took out the storage box, put three bunches of grapes inside, and then put it in the warehouse. After storing it all, there were eighteen bunches of grapes and eight apples. Although it wasn't a lot, it was big enough.
I take out a grape, too lazy to peel it, wash it, put it in my mouth, take a bite, and spit out the skin. It's similar to eating a plum, except it tastes like a grape.
When she saw the two return in the evening, she drove the yacht over and then back.
He took out several storage boxes from the warehouse. "Just put the meat in there. What kind of meat is this?"
The meat was skinned and had no head, so she couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.
“This is a Siberian roe deer. We caught one today, and it’s as big as a cow. We’ll skin it and cut it into four pieces,” Xiao Yubai said.
There are many animals on the island, but you have to look carefully to find the ones that taste good. I was looking for sika deer, but I didn't see any.
Those animals weren't strong enough; they were destined to be eaten by other animals. Finding them would be difficult. Remembering his sword, he asked, "Wife, you still have a big knife, right?"
His sword, meant for fighting on the battlefield, is now being used to cut down prey, making it no different from a kitchen knife. It's truly pitiful.
He remembered that his wife had many large knives in her storeroom; he could get two of them so that his sword could be stored away.
An Shuyi nodded: "There are a few more. I'll take out two for you. I'll take out another one if you break them. You should clean your swords and put them away."
She hadn't thought of it before, so she took out the broadswords for them to use. Poor two side swords, now they're in the same state as kitchen knives.
He took two large knives out of the warehouse and said, "I'll put them in the dining room for you. Just take them when you need them."
They left too early. If we leave it in her storage room, they won't be up yet. It's better to leave it in the dining room so she'll remember to pick it up.
“Alright, let’s go clean the sword. Yu Mo, call your wife for dinner.” After saying that, Xiao Yubai sat down to the side, took a towel, and carefully wiped his sword.
Cheng Yumo put down his sword and went to wake his wife. When he entered the room, he found that she was already up. "Wife, when did you wake up?"
"I just woke up a little while ago, and you're back." I feel refreshed after a good night's sleep.
"Just got back. I saw you weren't upstairs, so I came to call you for dinner. We caught a roe deer today."
"Finding a roe deer is impressive." This animal is much harder to find than tigers, lions, or wolves; there might not even be ten on this small island.
"Of course, let's go, honey, let's go eat."
When An Shuyi saw them come up, she took out the food: three servings of braised pork ribs, sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, twice-cooked pork, Longjing shrimp, bowls and chopsticks, and several boxes of rice.
"Huahua, pour out a few cups of deer blood wine. We'll drink that tonight."
When drinking deer blood wine, the maximum amount per person is one cup. Too much wine is too much of a tonic, as this wine has a long shelf life and is very potent.
Xia Hua nodded, sat down, took out a jar of wine and four small cups, filled one cup for each person, put the jar back, and everyone began to eat.
“These bones are delicious!” Cheng Yumo said.
This was the first time he had ever eaten bones. When he saw them on the table, he thought that Shuyi had run out of food and was just taking out some bones to gnaw on.
But now I've discovered that's not the case; the bones are even tastier and more fragrant than the meat.
"If it's delicious, eat a few more. I still have some here. Tomorrow I'll make stewed pig's trotters with soybeans. It's good for your skin and complexion," An Shuyi said while eating.
Having delicious food and sharing it with others is the greatest enjoyment in the world. If you encounter people who refuse to eat this or that, it feels meaningless, and you don't even want to eat.
After finishing their meal, the group sat on the deck, looking at the sky.
"Actually, it's fine not to go back. There's food and drink, and no worldly troubles."
Xia Hua rolled her eyes at her, "If it's only for a few months or a year, that's fine, but if it's for a long time, you won't be able to stand it. Without the internet and without a cell phone, you'll get bored."
"Besides, you'll have to have children eventually. Not to mention what will happen when they're older, even if you're just pregnant, you'll be in trouble. You'll need to have checkups, and then there's childbirth. Who among you knows how to do that?"
It seems she really needs to remind Shushu to be careful with contraception; she can't get pregnant now, otherwise all the tests will be a hassle.
An Shuyi couldn't find a reply to what she said. If she didn't have children, she felt she could stay for a few more years, but if she had children, then it wouldn't work.
"Hua Hua is right, we should leave here."
Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo, who were standing nearby, also felt that it was not the right time to have a child, otherwise it would be a big problem. The two secretly decided that they should not have marital relations with their wives for the time being.
