After they picked the fruit and set it aside, she put it in a basket, arranged it neatly, and casually removed the rotten ones, but there were very few. Several bunches were free of rotten ones. Once the basket was full, she put it into the warehouse.
They harvested all the grapes, filling four baskets to the brim. Five baskets were still a little short, but it was already very good, considering the size of the baskets. They continued searching for other things and soon spotted a herd of deer in the distance.
The group exchanged glances, drew their knives, and charged towards the deer herd. Unlike the deer of ancient times that would run away at the sight of people, the sika deer here would choose to attack.
Their horns were their sharpest weapons, but the group wasn't afraid at all. An Shuyi and Xia Hua each took charge of one, while Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo took charge of the others.
Compared to other animals, the sika deer were not as formidable, and the group was able to handle them. In the end, they killed five sika deer. Originally, there were seven, but two of them were clever and were wounded by the knife. In addition, they had to kill the others, so they could only watch them escape.
After putting the sika deer into the warehouse, An Shuyi said, "Let's rest on the cruise ship tonight and clean it tomorrow."
Although they only picked grapes and hunted a few deer today, time flew by, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
It's so hot, I don't want to sleep outside. It's better to take advantage of the early hour to go on the cruise ship to shower and eat, and then have a nice sleep. Otherwise, I'm so dirty, and I really can't sleep in this outfit.
Xia Hua could tell from her eyes that she thought it was dirty. "Alright, let's go sleep on the cruise ship then. It's not far anyway. Let's go!"
It's quite a distance to the outer edge of the island from here, but it's still quite a distance for Yu Mo and Yu Bai, so they can get there quickly, since they're using light-footed skills to travel.
"Huahua is the best, let's go!" She reached out to her husband beside her, then was hugged and flown up a tree trunk, then flew to other trees, and before long, they reached the outer edge of the island.
After taking out the kayak, the group sat on it and paddled a little further before An Shuyi released the cruise ship, leaped up, and landed on the deck.
As soon as I stood still, I couldn't wait to run back to my room, rush into the bathroom to take a shower, and then come out looking completely refreshed. The weather was unbelievably hot; I was sweating profusely in just a short while.
Moreover, the sweat was oily, like the body was expelling its own oils, so you had to scrub it a couple more times, otherwise it would be sticky. Fortunately, the cruise ship had air conditioning, so it wasn't too hot.
"Honey, dry my hair!" she said to Xiao Yubai, who was sitting on the sofa.
My hair is too long, and since there's a free and quick hair dryer available, I naturally have to ask him for help, otherwise it would take forever to dry it.
Xiao Yubai got up, put his hand on his hair, and his hair dried. He kissed her cheek and said, "Wife, I'm going to take a shower."
"Go ahead!" She sat in front of the mirror, combed her hair, and tied it into a bun. It was too hot to leave it down her back; it would sweat and stick to her neck, and she would scratch her skin every time.
After her husband finished showering, they went to the dining room for dinner. Xia Hua and her husband were already waiting there. They went over and sat down. "Hua Hua, what would you like to eat?"
Although the food is with her, I still have to ask them every time we eat, because I always feel like I've already eaten these, and I don't want to eat those, plus I have trouble getting enough rest.
"It's so hot, let's have some cold dishes. Cold pig's ear salad, cold kelp salad, cold preserved egg salad, and also twice-cooked pork, or braised pork with preserved mustard greens. What else do you two want to eat?" Xia Hua said.
Cheng Yumo continued, "And another serving of cold beef salad. As for drinks, bring out a bunch of grapes, make grape juice, and add some ice."
Those store-bought juices are no good, but they're fine drinking them. As for Huahua and Shuyi, they should drink the good ones, the original flavor, without any additives.
“I won’t order any more; they’ve already ordered enough,” Xiao Yubai said.
This is more than enough to eat.
An Shuyi nodded, took out the food, along with bowls, chopsticks, and four cups. Xia Hua put ice cubes into them, and Cheng Yumo used a juicer to make juice. Once it was ready, they would eat.
After finishing their meal, they cleaned up the dishes and went back to their rooms.
"Honey, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'll wash and hang up the clothes I just changed out of."
"I'm not sleepy, I'll watch a movie, you can do the washing!" Anyway, she's been wearing very small pieces of clothing lately, so they're not hard to wash.
Xiao Yubai nodded and went into the bathroom to wash clothes. Two sets, plus the bed sheets and duvet covers she had changed that morning, were quickly washed and hung outside to dry.
In this hot weather, we can collect the goods tomorrow morning without even letting them dry in the sun. When I got back to the room, I saw my wife sitting on the bed looking at the shop, so I sat down next to her and looked at it together.
I wait until a movie ends before going to sleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, we set off on the cruise ship to the island. Then we boarded a kayak, stowed up the cruise ship, and headed to the island.
They saw a small river yesterday, but it was too late to wash it. They can wash it today. Although seawater can also be used for washing, river water is cleaner and doesn't smell fishy.
This time, we didn't walk, but were carried to the riverbank, which was faster. We stood on the tree for a while to make sure no animals came before we went down to the riverbank.
An Shuyi took out all the sika deer she had killed yesterday, and Xia Hua took out the basin and started washing them. All they had to do was cut the meat into small pieces and put them into the storage box.
Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo were responsible for cleaning the internal organs and removing the skin. Some of the internal organs were kept, and some were discarded. The unwanted ones were taken out and set aside to be thrown away later.
With several people working together, the process was relatively fast. However, even at their fastest pace, they didn't finish cleaning the deer until the afternoon. Some of the deer were as big as cows, and some were even bigger than cows.
Even if four people are fast, it still takes time. They've been busy all day and haven't even had a meal. Looking at the time, it's already four in the afternoon. They don't need to think about hunting anymore, so they go straight back to the cruise ship.
After washing up and eating, they went to sleep. The next morning, they had to set off for the island again to continue searching for and killing animals. Yesterday, they had more than ten boxes of venison alone.
Compared to the meat of other animals, what they need to find most is the meat of the sika deer. Not only is it delicious, but it is also nutritious, and every part of the deer is valuable.
But they weren't so lucky today, because they encountered a tiger. Although it wasn't a deer, tiger meat would do, since it was edible anyway, just not as delicious.
The two were placed on a tree, and Xiao Yubai and Cheng Yumo were responsible for dealing with the tigers. If there were many tigers, they would ask for their help; if there weren't many, they would deal with them themselves. This was agreed upon from the beginning.
Of course, the two of them weren't just sitting there doing nothing. They took out their bows and arrows and fired an arrow every now and then. Although it wasn't fatal, it was enough to distract the tiger.
Xiao Yubai and his companion were quite fast, and with their light-footed skills, they managed to kill the tiger after some time.
