Finally, it was Chen Jie who spoke, breaking the silence.
"Everyone, let's go get some sleep. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow. It's no longer safe here. We need to move faster tomorrow and try to get there as early as possible."
The three women looked at each other and said in unison.
"We're not sleepy." After saying that, the three women laughed heartily. They didn't expect that they had such a tacit understanding after spending so much time together.
"If you can't sleep, you have to lie down to recuperate your energy and replenish your strength. You girls are not like rough guys like me."
"..."
In the end, the three girls returned to the cave to sleep. Only Chen Jie and Miracle stood around the fire, thinking quietly.
"Ouch..." Miracle let out a few sobs, as if to comfort Chen Jie.
"Suffer it, Miracle! It seems I was too impulsive." Chen Jie reached out and touched Miracle's head.
One person and one dog talked for a long time, and finally everyone went back to their respective dens and went to sleep.
Early in the morning, Chen Yanyan was still the first to get up. This time Chen Yanyan walked lightly and walked outside the cave.
As soon as I walked out of the cave, I saw Miracle standing under the awning, looking towards the dense forest.
"Miraculous, what are you looking at so early in the morning?" Chen Yanyan said hello to Miracle and followed Miracle's gaze towards the dense forest.
A scorched forest appeared before our eyes, looking extremely miserable.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's so miserable! Fortunately, they were short-handed and didn't blow this place up."
Miracle sobbed twice, as if echoing Chen Yanyan's words.
"A bunch of damn beasts, they just throw bombs in there regardless of whether there are people or not. If I encounter them, I have to kill them." Chen Yanyan gestured towards the woods twice.
"Yanyan, what are you dreaming about again? You were so scared that you wet your pants last night." Lisa walked out of the cave and heard Chen Yanyan's heroic words, and couldn't help but make fun of her.
"Sister Lisa, don't you look like those pirates?" Chen Yanyan turned her head, pouted, pinched her waist, and looked at Lisa.
Lisa nodded and walked to Chen Yanyan's side. What she saw was a scorched forest. Thinking of the beautiful scenery in the past, now it has become like this, Lisa felt a little distressed.
"What are you doing? Go to the toilet." Xiao Baihe walked out of the cave, her stomach hurt. She was worried about bombs last night and forgot to go to the toilet. Now she was woken up by peeing.
.
Chen Yanyan and Lisa looked at each other and smiled, then turned and walked towards Xiao Baihe. The three women went to the toilet together.
When Chen Jie woke up, he found that he was alone in the cave, and the smell of grilled fish floated in along the entrance of the cave.
"These little girls are really becoming more and more sensible." Chen Jie smiled, got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
As soon as he came out, he saw Chen Yanyan grilling fish, Xiao Baihe fetching water from the river, and Lisa packing clothes. Seeing everyone working in an orderly manner, Chen Jie showed a knowing look as he was not bothered by yesterday's accident at all.
smile.
"Captain, get up, breakfast will be ready soon." Chen Yanyan shook the grilled fish in her hand and looked at Chen Jie with a smile.
"Well, I'm going to wash up." Chen Jie responded, turned around and walked towards the back of the cave.
Looking at the mess in the dense forest, Chen Jie sighed and silently said sorry to the dense forest.
After peeing, Chen Jie turned around and looked in the direction of the stone steps, then turned back to the entrance of the cave.
Everyone ate together, cleaned up briefly, and started heading towards the stone steps.
Everyone was very energetic today, and Chen Jie also cheered up and led everyone to start burning weeds.
When they are tired from burning, everyone will rest for a while and then continue burning the road.
I've been busy all morning, but I haven't burned much road.
"Captain, I'm hungry." Chen Yanyan sat down on the stone steps and touched her hungry belly.
Chen Jie felt a little distressed when he saw the three women sweating profusely.
The scorching summer heat is already unbearable, and it will naturally become even more uncomfortable if you burn grass by the fire. It is commendable that these women can persist in not saying anything.
"Let's take a rest. I'll see if I can get some fruit to fill your stomachs." Chen Jie said, raising his legs and walking towards the grass.
"Captain, I'll go with you." Xiao Baihe raised her legs and prepared to follow Chen Jie.
Chen Jie stopped, turned around, and said with a smile.
"You should also rest for a while. I'm nearby. It'll be okay."
Seeing Chen Jie's serious look, Xiao Baihe could only nodded and watched Chen Jie's figure.
"You are the only one who has many things to do." Lisa watched Chen Jie leave and couldn't help but say something to Chen Yanyan.
Chen Yanyan pouted and spoke coquettishly.
"I'm really hungry. I just ate a small fish this morning and there's no wild boar meat left."
"Okay, stop arguing. The captain will feel uncomfortable hearing this later." Xiao Baihe interrupted the quarrel between the two people.
I have to say that they were indeed a little hungry at this point, but they held back from saying anything because they didn't want to cause trouble to Chen Jie. However, Chen Yanyan was a real person and would definitely tell her when she was hungry, which made Lisa dissatisfied.
The two of them fell silent. Since what happened last night, no one dared to mention it easily for fear of hurting Chen Jie's self-esteem.
…
Chen Jie walked out along the lawn to see if there were any fruit trees or coconut trees nearby. Not only were the three girls hungry, but he was also so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
"Cluck cluck..." A colorful pheasant suddenly broke into Chen Jie's eyes.
I thought, this is really a gift from God. As soon as I said I felt hungry, this chicken was delivered to my door. God was really helping me.
Chen Jie knelt down and reached for the ax at his waist, preparing to ambush the pheasant.
The pheasants crowed for a long time, and then came the chickens with gray-colored coats, which seemed to be a male and a female.
Chen Jie held the ax tightly and watched the pheasant walking towards him little by little, without any precautions against Chen Jie.
Seeing the right moment, Chen Jie raised his hand and threw the ax. The chicken was stunned for a moment, and was hit by the ax just as he was about to leave.
The pheasant's fighting ability is not limited. Even if it was hit by an axe, it still waved its wings and rushed towards Chen Jie.
"Holy shit, are you so fierce?" Chen Jie didn't expect the rooster to be so protective. He quickly rolled on the spot, picked up the branches on the ground, turned his head, and watched the rooster rush towards him angrily.
Chen Jie also became serious, saw the right moment, picked up the branch and thrust it hard into the neck of the rooster that was rushing over.
With a puff, the pheasant let out a scream, its whole body was still struggling wildly, and it died completely within a few moments.
