Xiao Yubai refused, "Your wound has just healed, you need to rest for a while, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
These past few days, seeing her lying in bed, and feeling utterly helpless, has filled me with deep regret for not being able to protect her.
"Alright, let's wait until we've rested a bit more before going." She didn't want them to worry anymore, so she decided to rest for a while longer, since the weather was hot anyway.
After everything was settled, it was soon time for dinner. She ate in her room; it was prepared by Hua Hua and Yu Mo. After dinner, her older brother and sister-in-law came to see her.
Yang Yahan was relieved to see that she had finally woken up and was alright. "Little sister, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault that you got hurt."
If she had shot her directly in the head instead of in the chest, or even fired several shots, the girl wouldn't have been injured and had to lie in bed for so many days. Thankfully, she's alright, otherwise I would feel terrible.
An Shuyi shook her head, "How can this be my sister-in-law's problem? It's that woman's fault. Don't worry, I'm fine, my injuries have already healed."
She naturally wouldn't tell her sister-in-law about her time travel, nor would she tell her brother-in-law about her marriage. Family members wouldn't tell others, but her sister-in-law couldn't, since she also had family.
"Although it wasn't my fault, I was still too indecisive. Luckily, that woman is dead, otherwise I would have shot her a few times."
"My sister-in-law is really amazing. She was so decisive on her first try. I admire her so much."
She really admired her. If she had known, when she and Hua Hua killed someone for the first time, she was so scared that her hands were trembling, but Hua Hua was not. Instead, she was calmer. After the murder, she had nightmares every night.
The second time was much better. After that, we started discussing how to kill someone quickly without getting blood on ourselves.
“I’m scared too, but like your older brother said, everyone has a first time. And if Wang Huiya hadn’t died, who knows how many more people would have died at her hands.”
That woman was truly wicked. Not only did she love to cause trouble, but she also enjoyed pushing others into dangerous situations and causing them to die without feeling any remorse.
"Yes, she was so vicious, she should have died sooner." And she was so stupid, she couldn't even aim properly when throwing something.
An Shuheng waited until they finished speaking before saying, "Shushu, since you're alright, we'll go to the island tomorrow. You should take good care of your injuries."
They had already discussed it today and decided to go to the island tomorrow. Since the younger sister was alright, they were no longer worried and could go without any concerns.
“You guys go ahead, I’ll focus on recovering. But it’s too dangerous and inconvenient for my sister-in-law to go with us. Why don’t we let her stay here? You can dig up the herbs and let her extract them.”
Anyway, now only my sister-in-law is a researcher; all the others are dead, and no one else knows how. Once they dig up some herbs, she can refine them for a long time.
"That's what I was thinking. I've already told Hua Hua, 'You rest, we're going back.'"
"Okay, be careful tomorrow, brother." After watching her brother leave, she went to take a shower. Although her husband usually helped her wash up, it wasn't with water, so she felt unclean.
Moreover, the injury was on the head, and it was already past nine o'clock, and I hadn't washed my hair. Now the wound has healed, and as long as I don't touch it hard, it'll be fine, and I can wash my hair.
After washing up, she asked her husband to dry her hair before lying down to watch a movie. It was still early for bed, and even though she had been sleeping for nine days, she didn't feel tired at all.
After getting up and washing up in the morning, I went up to the deck. By then, my older brother and the others had already gone up to the island. Only the injured and two people who were cooking remained. The rest of them went up to the island.
While they were having dinner together at the restaurant, Xia Hua said, "Shu Shu, tomorrow we're going to the island to dig for medicinal herbs. You stay on the cruise ship and don't go far. Just stay outside the island and don't go deep into it."
Now that Shushu is alright and her head injury has healed, they can go to the island to find medicinal herbs, animals, and fruits. Many fruits are ripe this season.
An Shuyi nodded, "Okay, you guys go ahead. If you're too tired to come back, you don't have to. I can take care of myself." As for her sister-in-law, she can just share some food with her at mealtimes.
“We’ll be back by the time we arrive, and we’ll cook for you. We can also find medicinal herbs outside, so don’t worry about anything and just focus on recovering,” Xiao Yubai said.
We'll leave her alone on the cruise ship for a few days. Once she's recovered enough, we'll take her to the island. She won't have to do anything; she can just follow along. But that'll have to wait until the other injured people on the cruise ship are almost fully recovered.
"I understand, you can make the decision." Given her limited influence, she decided to follow their arrangements.
The day passed quickly. When the sun rose, Xia Hua and the other two boarded a kayak and headed to the island. This time it was the island on the right. An Shuyi and Yang Yahan waited for them to leave before going to the restaurant for dinner.
Xiao Yubai prepared their breakfast in the morning: a simple congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and rice noodle rolls. It was prepared for lunch and could be heated in the microwave at noon.
As for dinner, they would return at five o'clock and use the walkie-talkie to ask them to take the cruise ship to pick them up. After the two of them finished eating, they would go back to their rooms, as it was too hot on the deck and they could only stay in their rooms.
After Xia Hua and the other two arrived on the island, they flew directly up into the trees to search for fruits or animals. As for medicinal herbs, they could only look for them under the trees, as the trees were too tall and even those with excellent eyesight could not see them from above.
Before long, Cheng Yumo spotted a huge tree with red fruit hanging from it and said to the two of them, "Look at that tree, don't the fruits on it look like apples?"
Although he asked that question, he knew it wasn't an apple, because apples wouldn't be this small; the apples on this tree were the same size as normal apples.
Taking out the binoculars and looking at the tree, Xia Hua shook her head. "This isn't an apple tree, it's a lychee tree. Shu Shu is in for a treat. She loves lychees, and these are even apple-sized Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms. There are so many, and several more. That'll last her a long time."
Although we haven't gotten close yet, I can see several lychee trees there through my binoculars. I didn't expect to be so lucky.
“Let’s go pick some!” Cheng Yumo said, carrying her and flying towards the tree in front of them. They landed under the lychee tree and said, “I didn’t expect there to be four. I’ll pick one and eat it to see if it’s sweet.”
I flew up to the tree, picked three lychees, gave one to each of them, peeled them, took a bite, and said, "They're very sweet, and so big, but I can't tell what variety they are."
After they arrived in the modern era, they learned that fruits also come in varieties. Lychees alone have more than ten varieties, some with small pits, some sweet, some sweet and sour—if you can imagine it, you can buy it.
Although lychees existed in ancient times, only the emperor and his concubines in the palace could eat them. Other officials could also eat them, but only as a reward from the emperor. Unlike today, where you can buy fruit at any fruit shop if you want to eat them.
