Chapter 17: A Slam

i Wanxue smiled: "I should ask you for this sentence."

After a moment of silence, she straightened up, hit me and said, "Do you want to say again, if the rescue doesn't come, I have to be your wife?"

I shook my head, raised the spear and said, "If I can't go back, I think I can be cruel."

"Don't be stupid." Li Wanxue pushed the spear away: "Killing is not that simple. What if the rescue will take three months or even six months later, how can you kill some of them and go back? "

"Then I won't go back." I really thought so.

"Nonsense." Li Wanxue said: "Do you want to stay on the island alone and be a savage?"

I stared at her, thinking that if I were to kill people, would I still let you go back?

After a short break, we continued on. Carefully observe the vegetation along the way. After entering the woods for a long time, I found a bunch of wild sweet potato vines. After laboriously dug out. She swallowed. I picked the largest two, peeled them with a spear and handed them to her.

She took a big bite and handed it to me: "You have a bite, too."

I shook my head.

"You must eat something, you do all the work. How can you have the strength if you don’t eat anything when you are hungry?" Li Wanxue put the sweet potatoes close to my mouth.

I just took a bite. She did not dislike it, and continued to eat. After letting her hold one in one hand, I also cut two by myself. There is something in my stomach, and my spirit has been restored to a certain extent.

But no matter how desperately we searched, by four o'clock in the afternoon, only four nests of wild sweet potatoes were found, not a few big ones, and only ten catties with one piece.

"Lu Fei, it looks like it is impossible to complete the task today." Li Wanxue said worriedly.

I smiled and said, "I didn't intend to complete the task. Do you think I would really be at their mercy? Try to find two nests to take back. We will find a place to hide these. So we won't be hungry if unexpected happens."

She lowered her head and said with some debt: "I also blame myself for coveting a momentary ease. I have forgotten the sense of crisis. If we leave quietly a day or two in advance, it will be fine."

"It's useless to say it now." I clapped my hands and pulled her to stand up: "Let's go on working. The big deal is to go back tonight and be cleaned up by them."

Li Wanxue said: "But they are deliberately embarrassing you. I think that when I go back tonight, things are not that simple. What if they beat you badly?"

"It's okay. Let me mediate. As long as I bring back some food to eat, it will be considered as a grade." I don't want her to even have no change clothes, and the few empty bottles I collected can help us store rainwater in the future. So they can’t be lost.

Li Wanxue blinked, tears all over.

I soothed a few words and asked her to carry the wild sweet potatoes in the cane net and continue to search with me.

When the time came to seven o'clock, the sun was already close to the sea, and the sky was glowing. And we haven't found any new sweet potatoes. I gave up. I lead her across to the shoreline on the other side, divided the sweet potatoes into two parts, buried them under a big tree, and then I made a mark on the trunk.

On the way back carrying the remaining sweet potatoes, Li Wanxue kept holding hands with me, looking very upset.

As soon as we got out of the woods, Li Ding, who was walking by the beach, rushed into the camp and shouted that we were back.

The muscular man brought everyone to greet us. He looked at what was in my hand with disdain and laughed.

I threw them directly on the ground: "After looking for a day, that's just a little bit, but it should be enough for us to eat at night."

"Then what should we do tomorrow morning?" The muscular man asked, "We have eaten all the supplies we have stored. Should we make everyone hungry together?"

"Don't deceive others too much, please?" Li Wanxue retorted sharply: "It's not only my husband is a man, why don't you four go out to find food too?"

"Because he is the fourth oldest, we are all older than him." The man with glasses yelled.

The muscular man pushed him back and stood in front of the crowd and said, "Lu Fei, you promised to bring back fifty catties of sweet potatoes. This is only a few catties? Since you broke the rules, you can't blame me."

I took off the spear from my back, and Li Wanxue hurriedly stood in front of me and said, "Can we go now? We won't take anything away."

"Wanxue, this matter has nothing to do with you." The muscular man pointed at me and said, "After eating our food, he wants to leave. This is a character problem. Even if I agree, my three brothers won't agree with it."

"Yes, we don't agree." The three people said in unison.

I pushed Li Wanxue away, took a step forward, and said kindly: "Give me another day, tomorrow I promise to dig enough wild sweet potatoes back, so that everyone can eat.

"Tomorrow? Just dig this tonight. How can we believe that you can dig back fifty catties tomorrow?" The muscular man yelled, "If you break the rules, you have to bear the price of breaking the rules. I will give you two way now. Either win all of us and become the new boss, or give me fifty catties of sweet potatoes now."

"Don't deceive people too much." Li Wanxue shouted: "Lu Fei can at least find something to eat. No matter what, he is better than Li Ding."

When Li Ding heard this, he ran to the muscular man and knelt down.

The muscular man laughed and touched his head and said: "He is my little brother, even if he is incompetent, I will protect him. Come on, scream."

"Wow..." Li Ding sticks out his tongue as a dog barking.

Except for the flight attendant, everyone else was laughing. She turned around in disgust.

After pulling Li Ding up from the ground, the muscular man looked at the man in glasses and the eldest brother in his thirties.

The two immediately stood up, rolled up their sleeves and assumed a fighting pose.

I know this battle is unavoidable. Passed the spear to Li Wanxue, turned around and leaned in her ear and whispered: "You step back, and if something goes wrong for a while, you will run first."

"I won’t." Li Wanxue grabbed my sleeves: "Lu Fei, let's run together."

I sighed secretly, how could we run away at this time?

At this moment, the young woman came up with the Japanese girl and pulled Li Wanxue away. After a day of running around in the mountains and forests, I was already weak, and it was not easy to deal with these two guys.

"Go." The muscular man suddenly ordered.

Two people rushed up, and I greeted a few times, only to back off.

Suddenly the man with glasses blinked at me, and I pretended to be weak and continued to back away. My 30-year-old brother tripped me to the ground with a hook. Two people held me down and greeted me with their fists. But he didn't fight too hard.

The spectacle man and the eldest brother glanced at each other, and the two leaned against each other, and the card blocked the vision from the back.
