Chapter 10: Unifying Thoughts

On the way back, Yang Wenyuan unexpectedly found that there were tuber plants like kudzu on this island.

He was pleasantly surprised.

The harvest is too unstable, and in addition, the body can't stand eating those seafood and other things. Although this tuber plant is not eaten directly like potatoes, it can still refine a lot of starch when it is smashed.

He hurriedly dug up several large pieces with his knife and brought them back.

By the time he got into the cave, Xue Jiao and the others had already grilled the eel. But they didn't eat, but waited anxiously for Yang Wenyuan, which made Yang Wenyuan very satisfied.

"Brother Yang, you're finally back, everyone is worried about you!" Xue Jiao hurriedly greeted her.

But Cui Ying stood by the fire and did not move.

"Mr. Yang, since we can be in the same boat, I think you should tell us what you think. If you don't go out alone and think about what you see, how do we know what you're thinking? ”

Although Su Jin didn't speak, her eyes were also full of questions.

It seems that they don't want to be fools and blindly worship Yang Wenyuan like Xue Jiao.

"Do you think the rescue team will really find us soon?" Yang Wenyuan knew that at this time, it was time to speak his judgment.

When Cui Ying and Su Jin heard this, they were stunned.

Because they also realize that the rescue may not be so timely, but they don't want to admit it.

Then, Yang Wenyuan spoke out his inferences and concerns about safety.

"And what are you going to do?" Cui Ying and Su Jin were anxious when they heard this. Xue Jiao was even more frightened and was about to cry.

"It's better to rely on no one than on ourselves, we can only think of self-help!" Yang Wenyuan looked at the three women and said slowly.

"Hmm. We believe in you! At this time, Cui Ying and Su Jin finally understood Yang Wenyuan's painstaking efforts, and supported Yang Wenyuan's idea, first built the shelter, and prepared to live on the island for a long time.

Of course, there must be conditions to persist in the long term.

Yang Wenyuan is ready to weave more fish cages and catch more fish and shrimp while the weather is good. And he was going to lead these women to the jungle to gather edible food. That way, they won't starve to death.

Cui Ying and the others also rose in confidence when they heard this, and immediately agreed to Yang Wenyuan's suggestion.

After eating, they did not rest, but went out of the cave to gather food.

As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, with the addition of Cui Ying and Su Jin, Yang Wenyuan and the four of them quickly dug back more starch-rich tubers.

Su Jin also found wild vegetables such as wild onions and mountain peppercorns.

It turned out that she had studied Chinese medicine in medical school, and became a pediatric nurse because of the hospital's dispensing and dispensing, not her best specialty.

With Su Jin, a medical professional, Yang Wenyuan is even more confident. After all, there is no one who eats whole grains and grains without getting sick, especially in a harsh environment like a desert island.

So he also took special care of Su Jin and didn't let her do too heavy physical work. But Su Jin is very strong, she refuses to be special at all, and she works quickly and neatly, which makes Yang Wenyuan feel good about her.

When they returned to the cave with a lot of wild vegetables and rhizomes, Yang Wenyuan found that the wood that was originally used to block the entrance of the cave had been moved.

"Has anyone ever taken advantage of the fact that no one has entered the cave?" Yang Wenyuan's face immediately became serious.

"Niu Lili, they are too disagreeable, how can they enter our shelter without permission!" Cui Ying complained loudly as she looked at the bag she was carrying.

Xue Jiao and Su Jin also felt very angry.

They have made it their home.

But Yang Wenyuan soon discovered that there was no trace of passivity in the cave.

Did they just come in and take a look and leave?

Despite this, Yang Wenyuan still felt that this shelter should be strengthened. After all, in addition to guarding against the arrogant and rude rich cow Lily, he also has to beware of possible bad guys from outside!

Yang Wenyuan said his thoughts, and the three women all agreed with him, after all, women are naturally timid, and they only feel safe when they make the shelter stronger.

A few people put down the food they had gathered and went out to look for building materials.

There is a lot of wood in the jungle that has been blown down by typhoons, and although many of these woods are rotten, there are also hardwood species that have a hard trunk although the bark is rotten and peeled off.

Yang Wenyuan took them back with a lot of such wood. He planned to use these woods to make two wooden doors to block the two entrances and exits of the cave, as for the other gaps and small holes in the cave, except for leaving a ventilation, Yang Wenyuan was going to block them all with wood and stones and camouflage.

However, because there are no corresponding tools, the project is very huge.

Despite this, in order to sleep peacefully at night, Yang Wenyuan still made two sturdy wooden gates before dark.

The rest of the wood, in addition to being used as firewood, Yang Wenyuan built another shelf, ready to store the collected food later.

At this time, Yang Wenyuan and the three women, who had been busy all day, were already tired.

Fortunately, they dug up a lot of kudzu, and Su Jin and Xue Jiao smashed these kudzu roots and filtered out a lot of starch with water.

They poured starch mixed with chopped wild vegetables on a hot stone slab and baked some "vegetable cakes" to satisfy their hunger.

At this time, there were dark clouds outside, and the wind was howling, and it seemed that a storm was brewing.

The three women were glad to follow Yang Wenyuan to have such a sturdy and warm shelter.

"Niu Lili, I'm afraid they're going to be doused again tonight!" Cui Ying said with some schadenfreude.

But Yang Wenyuan didn't squeak, he saw that Cui Ying was a jealous and competitive woman, and she had been trying to please herself during the day. The reason why she said such things was just to please him.

But he wasn't so careful.

If something really happened to Niu Lili and them, he wouldn't fall into the trap.

"Sister Xue Jiao, you can sleep with us tonight." Cui Ying saw that Yang Wenyuan didn't react, and turned to Xue Jiao.

"Hmm." Xue Jiao originally wanted to sleep with Yang Wenyuan, although she was a little shy, but there was an inexplicable steadiness in her heart. But since Cui Ying brought it up, she was embarrassed to insist.

Yang Wenyuan glanced at Cui Ying, feeling that this woman didn't seem to want to be so innocent. She called Xue Jiao over to sleep, not because of how good she and Xue Jiao were, but because she didn't want Yang Wenyuan to spoil her alone.

"You guys have a good rest tonight, and I'll keep watch over the fire." Yang Wenyuan said.

The tropical weather changed quickly, just after a gust of wind, it immediately crackled and rained, and the sound of the waves crashing on the reef outside was deafening, which also made Yang Wenyuan frown.

"In such sea conditions, even if nearby countries want to search and rescue them, the ship will not be able to go to sea!"

He was thinking about it when he suddenly felt a knock on a wooden door, as if something was about to enter.

"Who?" Yang Wenyuan shouted and immediately got up to check.

Could it be that Niu Lili and the others couldn't stand the storm and came here to take refuge?
