Chapter 22: Zhu Xingxing's Guard
Wang Ruoyi and himself had just known each other for a short time, and they hadn't fully trusted themselves, Duan Mo didn't want to leave a bad impression on the other party because of such a trivial matter, so he didn't say much, so he stood in the distance with his back to Wang Ruoyi and asked her to dry the clothes on her body one by one.
In fact, there is no difference between looking at it and not looking at it, Wang Ruoyi's clothes are in tatters, and the lines of his body can already be seen at a glance when he is wet. It is difficult for any man to resist this temptation, and Duan Mo is no exception. It's just that Duan Mo thinks more long-term - now that his camp has three members, he, as a man, is naturally the master of this camp, whether it is Zhu Xingxing or the newcomer Wang Ruoyi, they are his women, he doesn't have to rush for a while.
Soon Wang Ruoyi dried her clothes, she put her shirt on her body again, and returned the replaced animal skin clothes to Duan Mo. After Duan Mo took the animal skin coat and put it on, he immediately smelled a burst of aroma, and he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart again.
"How far is the camp from here?" After Wang Ruoyi got dressed, the posture of the little daughter just now disappeared without a trace, and her tone became cold again.
"On the front of a lake. Duan Mo replied. After a short period of repair, the speed of the two of them was significantly faster, and Wang Ruoyi also consciously shared part of the weight of the meat for Duan Mo, plus Duan Mo's heart was like an arrow, and he didn't want to be so abrasive when he came, so it didn't take long to see the small wooden house by the lake.
"This house...... Did you build it?" Wang Ruoyi looked at Duan Mo, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Duan Mo smiled, "This is my proudest shelter. ”
There was a glimmer of fire in the wooden house, and it seemed that Zhu Xingxing had not rested. As Duan Mo and Wang Ruoyi got closer and closer, Wang Ruoyi's eyes began to burst out.
She was a clever person and immediately spotted the beauty of the cabin – each wall was made of thick planks of hardwood, covered with viscous resin, which was both strong and insulating, and could keep out the beast in general.
Not only that, but the location of this wooden house is also very particular. Behind the hut is a gentle hillside overgrown with trees and ferns, and some large herbivores can be seen in the forest, indicating that there are no strong predators nearby, and in front of the hut is a small lake, not very deep, which ensures a source of water without attracting other animals.
Crucially, the hut sits on a clean sandy area, which avoids the pervasive and annoying bugs that can harass you.
In this way, this man is more reliable than he thinks - underneath his funny outfit, there is a powerful survival master.
But then again, their group of "players" have been on the desert island for nearly a month, and those weak, clumsy humans have already become food for the beasts, and those who have survived until now are all strong.
"What are you doing? Come in. Duan Mo had already walked to the door of the wooden house and beckoned to Wang Ruoyi.
Zhu Xingxing in the house had not rested yet, she had been waiting for Duan Mo to come back, and when she heard Duan Mo's voice, Zhu Xingxing immediately opened the door and rushed out. When she saw Duan Mo, a smile immediately appeared on her face, but then she noticed Wang Ruoyi behind Duan Mo, and immediately put on a defensive posture again.
"Who is she?"
After the previous experience of being kidnapped, Zhu Xingxing was full of wariness of other humans except Duan Mo, and when he saw a stranger at this time, he subconsciously thought that the other party was a bad person.
Duan Mo hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, your own people." ”
"Your own people?" Zhu Xingxing asked suspiciously, "What own people?"
"I met her on the road and looked like she was freezing to death, so I rescued her. Duan Mo explained: "She's not a bad person. ”
"Freezing to death?" Zhu Xingxing's gaze crossed Duan Mo and looked at Wang Ruoyi behind him, "I think she is quite energetic, she wears so little, she doesn't look like she is frozen." ”
"Ahem......" Duan Mo was a little embarrassed, "Her clothes themselves are rotten, I didn't do it......"
"This companion of yours, it seems that I am not very welcome?" Wang Ruoyi, as a woman, immediately sensed the hostility in the air.
"I need to talk to her. Duan Mo snorted, pulled Zhu Xingxing and walked into the house. After entering the house, Duan Mo whispered to Zhu Xingxing: "She is really not a bad person, you believe me." ”
Zhu Xingxing frowned, "Even if it's not a bad person, what are you bringing her back for." ”
"She has activated her profession, she is a cook, according to her, it is a very powerful profession! If we want to live better on this island, we must continue to recruit members to strengthen the tribe, and only when people of different professions are combined together can we exert greater strength." ”
Zhu Xingxing did not positively deny Duan Mo's explanation, and asked again: "But you didn't agree to let me stay by your side at the beginning, why do you actually take the initiative to bring people back now?" Is it because she is older than me!"
"What's bigger than you?" Duan Mo didn't understand for a while.
Zhu Xingxing straightened his chest angrily, glared at him and said, "What do you think?"
Duan Mo glanced at Zhu Xingxing's barren chest and immediately laughed.
"What are you laughing at?!" Zhu Xingxing was even more angry, "Men really don't have a good thing, no matter where they are! What if she is a bad person? You see that she wears so little, who would be like this for a serious person?"
"Sister, it's not that I don't wear much, it's just that my clothes are scratched. Wang Ruoyi's voice suddenly came in from outside the house.
It turned out that Zhu Xingxing's voice had been raised unconsciously, causing Wang Ruoyi outside to hear it clearly.
Zhu Xingxing's face turned red instantly, and it was too embarrassing to say bad things about people and be heard by the parties.
Fortunately, Wang Ruoyi didn't dwell on it too much, she said very calmly: "Sister, I'm not a bad person, I just think you can help me live, so I want to join you." Don't worry, I will make my congratulations, and I will definitely not let you suffer. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Xingxing really had no reason to refuse Wang Ruoyi to enter the door anymore, she snorted and turned her back, which could be regarded as allowing Wang Ruoyi to join this camp by default.
Duan Mo hurriedly opened the door for Wang Ruoyi, and after Wang Ruoyi walked in slowly, her face was a little not good-looking.
A smart woman like her will generally have a cold temperament. Zhu Xingxing has obviously expressed his unwelcome attitude towards her, with Wang Ruoyi's character, he should have turned around and left. But now that Wang Ruoyi has seen Duan Mo's strength and this safe cabin, if she leaves in anger at this time, her fate is likely to be death in the mouth of some fierce beast.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Ruoyi could only swallow his anger. She's smart, but on this pristine island, intelligence doesn't solve everything, and she must find a man to rely on.
What's more, her profession as a chef is completely a supporting profession, and she must have a team to support her in order to find enough food ingredients.
The area of the wooden house was very small, with beds and some furniture around the room, and a fire in the center, so there was not much room left for Duan Mo and the others to move. Wang Ruoyi and Zhu Xingxing sat at opposite ends of the fire, and Duan Mo was among them, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Duan Mo was not good at dealing with this situation, he could only silently cut the slices of meat he brought back into small pieces, roasted them and put them in his pocket, while looking forward to the dawn in his heart—because after dawn, he could use the excuse to go out to work and stay away from this Shura field.
Fortunately, Zhu Xingxing's bad mood didn't last long—on the one hand, because she had been hungry for a whole day, and on the other hand, she realized that Duan Mo's approach also had some merits, so after being silent for a long time, she took the initiative to stretch out her hand to Duan Mo and signaled that she wanted to eat meat.
Duan Mo immediately handed over the fragrant slices of meat, and at the same time seized this opportunity to ease the atmosphere.
"It's crocodile meat, how about you taste it? It took me a lot of effort to kill that crocodile, I'll tell you......"
Duan Mo began to talk endlessly about the encounter throughout the day, describing the battle between him and the pig and crocodile, and even deliberately exaggerated some of the details - for example, the pig crocodile's fangs were originally only about one meter, but Duan Mo insisted that it was three meters long.
Zhu Xingxing is a little girl after all, Duan Mo's description successfully diverted her attention elsewhere, she looked at Duan Mo, listening to the story nervously, as if she was in that quagmire.
"In the end, I deftly dodged and stabbed the spear directly into the brain of the pig crocodile, and completely understood its life!"
After some boasting, Duan Mo breathed a sigh of relief, he was not a person who loved to brag, but if bragging could make Zhu Xingxing's mood better, he wouldn't mind doing it.
However, Duan Mo forgot that Zhu Xingxing was not the only one in this room, and when Duan Mo told his brave experience with his eyebrows fluttering, Wang Ruoyi also listened to these words......
