Xia Hua was digging potatoes. It wasn't the season for them to ripen, but she didn't care. She figured they'd be big if she dug them up. She glanced at Xia Hua and said, "They are quite big. Hurry up and look for them. Aren't you hot?"
This silly woman, why can't she tell us what she found at night? Wouldn't it be better to hurry up and find more?
"It's hot, I'll find some right away!" He put the yams in the warehouse and continued searching.
There are many things here, and finding them isn't difficult. The challenge lies in digging them up, as it takes time. Sometimes, digging up a single plant can waste a lot of time.
On the other side, An Shuheng led thirty people into the jungle. Unlike An Shuyi and her group, who started from the outside, they encountered a wild boar foraging for food as soon as they entered, and everyone became alert.
When I first came in, I saw those huge trees and bushes. Although they seemed a bit tall, I could accept it. But when I saw the wild boars, I couldn't accept it anymore.
Wang Huiya, in particular, screamed as she watched the wild boar rushing towards her. She tried to grab something to block it, but there was no one around. Fortunately, no one would watch her die, so they all took out their weapons and started shooting.
For a moment, all the bullets hit the wild boar, but to no avail. In the end, the only solution was for the thirty-one men to work together to surround the wild boar, taking turns firing shots.
Although wild boars have thick skin and tough flesh, they still have weaknesses. The thirty-one men targeted these weaknesses and avoided the boar's attacks. Two hours later, they successfully killed the wild boar.
Everyone collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Fortunately, no one was injured, but they all began to worry. If one wild boar had left them so weak, what about other animals?
"We'll rest later. Let's leave here first, take our weapons, and you guys, hurry up and follow us." After An Shuheng finished speaking, he pulled his wife aside.
He had just witnessed Wang Huiya's actions; she not only yelled but also tried to pull the people around her to block her. Fortunately, he had already told his wife to stay away from that woman.
After walking a short distance, "Rest here first, watch your step, those ants and spiders, don't ignore them, if you see them you must step on them, and make sure your clothes are properly covered."
Fortunately, he had already sprayed medicine on his wife. The small insects would stay away from her scent and wouldn't come near her. He only needed to watch out for large animals.
“Miss Wang, when you came to this world, I clearly stated that it was very dangerous here, with many large animals. Why did you still make noise? Don’t you know that this could kill people?”
"You'd better control your emotions and stop screaming all the time, or you should go outside."
Upon hearing this, Wang Huiya immediately said, "Captain An, I want to go back to the cruise ship."
She didn't want to stay here. Yang Yahan had someone protecting her; An Shuheng always protected her and even had to hold her hand while walking. But she had no one to protect her. What else could she do but cry out?
If I had known it was this dangerous, I wouldn't have come. It would have been so much better to stay at home. Anyway, they weren't married yet. If I went back, I would have had the same opportunity. Even if we got married, we could still get divorced.
"Miss Wang may not have understood what I meant. When I said 'outside,' I meant the outer perimeter of the island, not the cruise ship. There is no danger there, and you are safe there."
"Captain An, how can you be so sure there's no danger if you leave a weak woman like me on this island? And why can't we go back to the cruise ship?"
"Because the cruise ship belongs to my sister, she has already sailed it back to where it was before and is waiting. It's impossible for her to sail it back because of you. If all else fails, the kayak is still on the outskirts of the island. You can paddle there yourself to find them."
As for whether he could find it or even board the cruise ship, he didn't know. It would be better to die sooner rather than later, so he wouldn't just be screaming and be of no use except for attracting animals.
His wife knew there was danger, so she took it out and joined in the fight without causing any trouble. If this woman stayed here, they would have to be careful that she didn't lay a hand on his wife.
"How can I go alone, Captain An? Please send someone to protect me when I get there."
An Shuheng sneered, "Fine, who among you is willing to escort her back?"
But after a long time, no one spoke. Instead, they sat on the ground to rest, looked at their shoes, wiped the sweat from their brows, and just remained silent.
"Miss Wang, do you see? Nobody wants to go back. It's up to you to decide whether to stay or leave."
“I told you to give them instructions, not to ask them.”
“They are not my subordinates, but my comrades-in-arms and family. I cannot order them to rest and search here, and then go further in, where they will surely encounter other animals.”
After saying that, he took his wife's backpack, climbed up the tree, hung on it, and slid down. It was safe up there because it contained food, serum, antidote, and poison.
Shushu said that when sleeping at night, one should not stay on the ground, but go directly up a tree for safety. However, the trees here are very tall. They can climb up, but the others probably can't. They have to think of other ways.
Others began searching for medicinal herbs and plants, and soon they made some discoveries.
Yang Yahan looked at the ginseng in front of her, took the box next to her, opened it, took out the tools inside, and started digging. However, after digging for a few minutes, she dug through some mud and found a little ginseng.
"Wife, this won't do. You're digging so slowly, we won't find anything before dark." An Shuheng was looking for something, but seeing how seriously she was digging, he came over to take a look and discovered it was ginseng.
“If I don’t dig it this way, how else can I dig it? Other methods will damage the roots, which would be such a waste. But judging from the appearance, this ginseng is quite large.”
Once it's dug out, she'll extract the components, store them properly, and then use a lot of equipment. They only brought a portion of it; they'll retrieve more from the cruise ship when they're done.
“You’re right about whoever you are, but there’s no need to be so careful. You can dig wider and stand aside and watch while I dig.” He waved the small hoe in his hand and started digging.
"How can you use a hoe like that? You'll damage the ginseng roots."
"Don't worry, it won't happen... This was purely an accident. If you hadn't been talking to me, you wouldn't have dug it up. Don't be angry, it's just a little root. I never thought it would grow here. I'll dig it up carefully this time."
He squatted down and, imitating what his wife had done, started digging from the top. Fortunately, the soil was soft, and it took him an hour to dig out a section. He was sweating profusely from the heat.
Yang Yahan didn't watch him dig; she squatted down and dug with him. The area they dug became wider and wider because there were so many roots. By the time it was almost dark, there were still some roots left to dig out.
"Let them climb the tree first and put their things away. I'll finish digging up the rest. There's not much left. If I don't dig it out, I won't be able to sleep tonight. I have to dig it out tonight."
This ginseng is so big, and there's only a little bit left. If it's not dug out, she'll definitely keep thinking about it. She's heard that ginseng can even move, but she doesn't know if it's true. But no matter what, she has to dig it out tonight.
