Chapter 30 - Live and Work in Peace
I don't know what heaven looks like, but I think it's what heaven looks like right now.
When I looked up, I could see the fish in the river, and I could see the white clouds in the sky, and the sun was shining through the river, and the waves shone on the hole, and everything in the cave became fantastic.
"It's beautiful. Liu Yue said.
"No wonder the plants in this cave survive. Ling Han said.
"But what's the matter with this transparent roof? Is it glass?" said Jones.
"No, there's nothing modern on this island. John said.
"It should be crystal. I said.
"Yes, it should be crystal. Paul chimed in.
"Wow, natural crystal roof, translucent sea view room. Liu Yue said.
"But why didn't we notice it last night? I said.
"Maybe it's not light at night, but it's light during the day. Ling Han said.
I don't know if it's really that amazing, but it couldn't be better now.
"Now that the light is so good, let's find out where the source of water is mentioned in the diary. I said.
"yes, I don't want to drink outside bath water anymore. Liu Yue said.
Everyone began to search in the cave, and sure enough, they found a spring in a corner of the cave, the spring water was clear and cold, and the entrance was still a little sweet.
"If you take it out, it won't be too much to sell you ten dollars a bottle. I said with a smile.
"Now we don't lack anything, we can live here. Ling Han said.
"How can you just eat vegetables, you guys, let's go hunting. I said as I turned back to get my weapon.
John Paul and I went to the entrance of the cave and reinforced, and by the way, we strengthened our ladder, which was so large that there was no need for a rope ladder.
Removing the stone slab at the entrance of the cave, I went out to take a look, and the three of them set up a ladder and went down to the hole behind the waterfall.
"Wait a minute, I'll go out and see if there's anyone. I said to the two of them.
The water of the waterfall is at the mouth of the cave, we can't see the outside, we can't see the inside from the outside, and the water is so loud that I can't hear the movement outside.
The previous cave was occupied, and I had to keep an eye on it.
I slowly dived into the water, swam towards the shadows, and poked my head out for a moment, but I didn't see any animals coming to drink.
I didn't dare to go any further, so I had to hide in the water and continue to look, and sure enough, I saw a few people popping up in the woods, but not the ones who robbed our cave.
I have some impression of these people, it should be from Ma Gongzi's side, it stands to reason that this place can't only have this water source, and these people should have found this along the traces of the activities of the gang who robbed our cave.
Now that the animals are hiding, it's impossible to hunt, and now that people are here, I can't let our place be exposed.
I dived into the water and swam back to the mouth of the cave, and when they saw me returning, they quickly greeted me.
"How's that? Are there any animals?" asked John.
"Yes. I said.
"Then let's go. Paul said.
"People. I said.
"And you say there is?" said Paul.
"Humans are animals, too. I said with a smile.
"Hahahaha. John laughed.
"It seems that the hunt will not be able to be done today, and the venison jerky with vegetables is not bad. I said.
"Then let's go back. Paul said.
I nodded, and the three of them climbed up the ladder and closed the hole.
When the women saw us coming back, they also ran up to ask questions, and when they learned that there were people outside, everyone was also sad.
"Don't worry, they won't find it here. I said.
"What if they really find out?" Ling Han said.
"It's okay, even if they find out, they won't be able to come up. As I spoke, I raised my bow and arrows.
This time, if you provoke me again, I really won't be merciful anymore, and I'm sure I won't be able to leave here anyway, and no one will care about me if I kill people.
Put away those bad emotions and look at the dishes prepared by the women in front of me, I feel a lot more relaxed.
"Today's staple food is potatoes, so I'll cook it. I said, stepping forward.
I don't know if the bird we hit earlier will lay eggs, but now that the tomatoes are available, it would be perfect if we could have a tomato scrambled egg.
"I think we still have to go out. I said as I got busy.
"If you don't say that there are people outside, what are you going to do outside? Ling Han said.
"This place is here, we have to get some decent furniture, tables, chairs and benches, right? I said.
"Thinking about it a lot, will you get all of this?" Liu Yue said.
"Of course. I said.
I want to say that I have been getting these things with my adoptive father since I was a child, but I can't help it, and I want to start a new life on this strange island.
"You're amazing. Rumeng, who had been silent, finally spoke.
I didn't reply, just gave her a smiley face.
Cooking over a fire has now become my forte, and people like my cooking, and there is nothing else to do on the island, so I am happy to do it.
"Mashed potatoes, tomato soup, boiled corn, and our venison jerky. I said to the crowd.
Actually, I enjoy people complimenting me on my cooking, after all, in my original life, I always got more criticism than praise.
"The taste is amazing, it's the best I've ever tasted, it's a pity that you don't open a restaurant with this skill. John said.
"If I can leave, I will definitely open a restaurant with you. Paul said.
"And I and me. Jones said.
"I'm going to join in, too. Luna said.
"I don't have any money. I said with a smile.
"We pay. Everyone said in unison.
In the midst of laughter, everyone was well fed, and after a short rest, the three of us got up and left the cave.
As usual, I went to explore the way first, but fortunately, the previous people had already left, and we rushed directly to the bamboo forest.
The furniture I want to make requires a lot of bamboo, and the more the merrier, and we need bamboo for our bows and arrows, and the three of us chop them one by one, and keep moving back until it is almost dark, and we do not return to the cave until it is almost dark.
"I think we're going to bury the captain well. I said.
"It's a good thing, I didn't dare to sleep that night. Liu Yue said.
It's that I can't sleep well at night, okay? But I didn't say that.
"Where are you going to bury him?" Ling Han asked.
"Just find a place in this cave, it's so big anyway, he's spent his whole life here, I don't want to bury him outside. I said.
"Well, I agree. John said.
"I think I can, too. Paul said.
When they had unanimously agreed, I found a place in a corner of the cave where no crops were grown, and buried the captain's remains, and according to all of them, I tied a cross and put it in the grave.
"What about this little cabin?" Ling Han asked.
"Tear it down, burn it as firewood, and see what can be used in it, and leave it. I said.
It may not be necessary to build people, but I believe everyone will demolish things.
What's more, this little wooden house has been around for some years, and it didn't take much effort for everyone to turn the small wooden house into small wooden blocks, small wooden strips.
Since I decided to build a house, the first thing I wanted to do was to divide the site, and everyone worked together to start leveling the ground in the location I had chosen.
And I was holding a wooden stick on the ground and planning the drawings in my mind.
"Actually, it's not that troublesome, we have sleeping bags, just sleep on the ground. Ling Han said.
"Sleeping on the ground for a long time is not good for your health. Liu Yue said.
"I'm worried that Qingyang is tired, this project feels so big. Ling Han said.
"It's okay, idle is idle, and besides, you can help, and I'm not alone. I said.
"I'll help you. Rumeng said first.
After speaking, I realized that I was too excited, and I lowered my head a little embarrassed, I just wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, and Rumeng spoke again.
"I'm sorry for everyone before, I haven't had a chance to thank everyone for saving me regardless of my past suspicions, I just want to do more and do more, I know that everyone has always disliked me, but it doesn't matter, I don't care, I can stay here, I can survive, I am already very satisfied. Rumeng said.
It is said that the environment can change a person, and the present is the best proof, if it is put before landing on the island, I don't believe that this will come out of Rumeng's mouth.
However, Rumeng's true feelings were really moving, and before I could answer, Ling Han spoke.
