Their teamwork was exceptionally seamless. They took turns slashing with their swords without hurting the black bear. Instead, they toyed with the bear, leaving it only able to howl in anger and swing its paws. With a burst of energy, the two of them leaped up the tree and jumped down.
While the black bear was still searching, Xiao Yubai slashed down with his sword, piercing straight through the bear's head, but got stuck. Seeing that he couldn't kill it, Cheng Yumo leaped up, his sword landing on the black bear's neck.
With both hands gripping the sword, and then exerting force, the black bear's neck was slashed, though half of it remained below. But that was enough. Seeing the lifeless bear, An Shuyi and the other person ran over and put the bear into the warehouse.
"Let's leave here first, otherwise, with such a strong smell of blood, animals will come over," Xia Hua said.
"No need, we can just go up to the tree, otherwise we'll smell of blood." After saying that, Cheng Yumo picked her up and flew up to the tree.
Xiao Yubai also picked up An Shuyi and flew up into a tree. Soon, several animals came from a distance. Perhaps they didn't see any other animals, so they sniffed around and left.
After the animals left, the group was surprised to find several dinosaurs running towards them from a distance. Looking around, they realized they weren't deep in the jungle, so why were dinosaurs coming?
To avoid being discovered, they could only stay in the trees and try not to make any noise. In addition, there was a bloody smell in the area, so the dinosaurs did not notice them. They looked around and then left.
After the dinosaur left, the group didn't leave either, but they didn't plan to continue searching. Instead, they took out some food to eat, rested afterward, and planned to continue their search the next day.
The next morning, after washing up, I climbed down the tree to continue digging for medicinal herbs and picking fruit. By the end of the day, I had gathered quite a lot. There were so many good things here. After more than half a month, the contents of the warehouse were increasing.
But as soon as they got up that day, they saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, which meant it was going to rain. They didn't dare to delay, so they took out their pagers and asked their older brother to come and pick them up in the cruise ship so they could go outside.
After boarding the cruise ship, the rain started to fall, and it was extremely heavy, practically a downpour. Luckily, they were fast; otherwise, they would have been soaked to the bone, since the rain here is ten times heavier.
"Honey, I'm going to take a shower first, then I'll make you breakfast later," Xiao Yubai said.
During the more than two weeks they stayed on the island, they took showers, but only every few days, which was nothing compared to being on the cruise ship.
"Don't make breakfast, just make lunch. It's already 10 o'clock. If you're hungry, just grab something to eat."
Lunch is just breakfast, there's no need to cook again. He's not tired, but I'm tired just watching him.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first." After saying that, she went to her room.
An Shuyi watched him go to his room, then continued looking at the rain outside. "Huahua, do you think there are wild mushrooms on the island after the rain?"
She doesn't have many fresh wild mushrooms left in her warehouse, and not many dried ones either. If there are any here, they're edible. She can pick some and put them in the warehouse. After the rain, the sun will come out, and she can dry some more then.
Moreover, the things here are ten times bigger. How big must the wild mushrooms be? The wild mushrooms we picked before were already quite good. Now they must be the size of two palms. One wild mushroom is enough to stir-fry a plate or stew a pot of soup.
Xia Hua looked out the window and said, "There are definitely some. It's still the season for wild mushrooms. It's raining now, so there must be a lot of wild mushrooms. We just don't know if they're edible. But we can catch an animal to try. If there are no problems, then we can eat them."
The islands here are full of medicinal herbs, plants, and wild mushrooms, probably in abundance, after all, this is a world that has existed for thousands of years.
"If we're going to test it on animals, shouldn't we cook it thoroughly? After all, wild mushrooms need to be cooked to remove their poison." Cooking wild mushrooms for animals, haha.
"Are you stupid? Can animals and people eat this? They eat it raw, without cooking it. Besides, some wild mushrooms contain mild toxins, so they won't eat them even if they're cooked."
An Shuyi nodded, "Then we'll go to the island to look for it when the rain stops, but with such heavy rain, we don't know how long it will last."
A few days is the minimum; if it takes a long time, it will take at least ten days to half a month.
"No matter how long it rains, we've found quite a lot of things, so there's no rush. Let's rest for a while. Anyway, there's no blue light right now, and we can't go out."
"You're right, let's go take a shower and have dinner." Her husband must have already showered, so now is the perfect time for her to shower as well.
The two separated upon entering the room. Her husband wasn't there; he must have already gone to cook. She went into the bathroom to shower, put on a dress, and used a hairdryer to dry her hair until it was half-dry before heading to the dining room.
Passing by Hua Hua's room, she knocked a few times but received no response, assuming she was helping in the kitchen. She had no choice but to go to the dining room herself. When she arrived, they were already serving the dishes and setting out the bowls and chopsticks, so she didn't have to do anything.
As soon as she sat down, her husband filled her rice bowl and placed it in front of her. Then he sat down next to her, picked up his chopsticks, and served her food. Whenever they ate together, he would serve her food. When eating fish, he would remove the bones, and when eating shelled food, he would peel off the shell.
He took such good care of her, attending to every detail. Every time I saw him like that, I felt like I had struck gold.
She picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of mutton, and put it in his bowl. "Husband, eat some too. I still have a lot in my bowl. I'll take more after I finish this."
Xiao Yubai nodded, "Eat up, I'll get you more after you finish. Give me the rest." Only then did he begin to eat.
The other two noticed this and quietly served food to their wives before eating their meals with normal expressions.
After finishing their meal and washing the dishes, there was nothing to do, so they went to play mahjong. However, An Shuyi didn't go. Instead, she sat on the side watching a movie. She didn't want to play those brain-taxing games. Most importantly, she didn't have to use her brain.
I thought this rain would last at least a few days, or at most ten days or half a month, but I didn't expect it to last for a whole month. And by then, it was already late August, and September was just around the corner.
When he woke up that day, it had stopped raining outside and the sun was shining. Xiao Yubai looked at his wife who was still sleeping. Although he didn't want to wake her, it wasn't raining now, and she was sure she was going to the island, so he had no choice but to wake her up.
"Honey, get up. It's stopped raining. We still need to go to the island. If you're not coming, then we're leaving."
An Shuyi groggily opened her eyes, glanced at the bed, and nodded. "I'll go, you guys wait for me." She then rubbed her eyes and sat down on the edge of the bed.
I helped her sit up, picked up her clothes and helped her change, then put on her shoes before taking her to wash up. After she finished washing up, we went to the restaurant.
Xia Hua and Cheng Yumo got up early, went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and brought it to the dining room. They saw Shu Shu and Cheng Yumo coming over. "Yu Bai, go and call your older brother and sister-in-law to have breakfast. We'll set off after we finish eating."
With such beautiful weather, once the sun dries up the grass, it's the perfect time to go looking for wild mushrooms.
