Chapter 245 Cuckoo island

When they were done, they moved on.

In the evening we ate sparingly, but at dawn there were only the same men left, and some of their spears had been stolen. The other guy who got the gun ran off, too. That left us with only ten men in the party.

It was very frustrating for me. We worked very closely together when we dug the tunnel. She finally got out, but she was just taking care of herself. I kind of regret rescuing those slaves yesterday.

I stared at the rest for a long time. "Are any of you leaving? If you want to go, go quickly."

All were silent.

"Then go on walking together." I told myself that if anyone escaped again, I would leave everyone behind and go with Li Wanxue. I could grab two alpacas and run back to Bukgu island.

At the end of the mountain forest, only the prairie is left, and there is no natural place to escape. The only refuge was the river and the haystacks, but now that the weather was getting colder, these two makeshift shelters were becoming harder to rely on.

To get back to Cuckoo island, we have to cross the savannah. We had to make a detour all the way to the edge for safety.

After only one day, we had nothing to eat. The cold wind on the prairie makes people shiver.

During the noon recess, one of the slaves came and said, "Chief, we can only find grass seeds to eat."

"Can you tell which seeds are eatable?"

"You can eat them all. The seeds here are not poisonous. But you need to chew it carefully, or if you swallow it, it will accumulate all the time. You won't even be able to pull the shit out. You'll get gas and you'll die."

"Use the seeds for a day or two. There's game on the prairie. I've seen it. It won't last long." I was comforting them as well as myself.

He nodded and beckoned everyone to pick their own seed. I took Li Wanxue also chose a place with strong weeds, brush down the grass seeds, get rid of the grass seeds, and then put the grass seeds into his mouth a handful of different grass seeds taste is different, sweet bitter astringent.

Those who chew frown.

Li Wanxue vomited up.

I began to distinguish grass seeds, find sweet for her to eat, just a little better.

"I remember when I came here there were so many animals, but now I can't find them." Li Wanxue said gloomily.

"Who knows, maybe it's the presence of monsters that scares them to remote places." I gave her my hand. "No, let's go to the river and drink some water."

"She said. She walked a little light.

The cold water of the river, which on a hot day would have been pleasantly frozen, was hard to swallow. The horse's skin had also been stolen, so I couldn't find anything to keep her warm.

Back in the group, I saw someone weaving with grass. So I walked over.

When he had made it, he held it up to show me. It was a windbreaker that hung over his shoulders, which covered the body, but could not make a sleeve.

"Chief, I'll give you the first one I made." "He said enthusiastically.

"Thank you." I turned to Li Wanxue hung up. You look like a scarecrow.

"Is it warmer?"

Li Wanxue nodded. "Well, it's not so cold anymore. Just my arm can't cover it."

"Deal with it first."

We had a long delay in getting them to make as many straw MATS as possible. After nightfall, they spread straw on the ground and use straw MATS as quilts.

Li Wanxue closely nestled in my arms: "it's all my bad, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have come to suffer this."

"What nonsense, this is all I should do."

"In this life I must be good to you, will let you know I did not let you love in vain." Li Wanxue is more emotional.

"It's enough to be gentle from now on." I still feel bad about what she did to me when she was in the company. But when I think of the scenes in which we were forced into the cave, I am filled with emotion.

Plain night wind is very strong, has been blowing non-stop, Li Wanxue almost put the whole person into my arms. I was shivering with cold. But here we only li Wanxue a woman, unable to huddle together with others to warm, can only carry this cold.

When they got up in the morning, both of them had cold hands and feet.

Cold and hungry, we moved slowly across the prairie like a group of refugees.

When they had gone a long way, a herd of goats suddenly appeared from the grass in front of them. This made everyone excited, scrambling to run past, but the speed of the people can not compare with the goat. The goat, sensing danger, made a swift run for it. I quickly drew my gun and fired. Six bullets in a row from the wheel stopped two goats.

By the time I caught up with Li Wanxue, the others were already fighting for the goats.

I shouted loudly: "have share, rob what rob."

Some of them let go of their hands, while others pushed their luck and lifted the goat to their shoulders.

"Put the goat down, or SHALL I shoot?"

A few people this just bitterly spread a hand. I chose two people to skin with me, and let the others pull the grass for the fire. It was difficult to make a fire on the prairie because of the lack of trees.

When we had got the haystack and the mutton ready, the two men who had been looking for supplies came running back. They are all skilled at drilling wood for fire. The fire was soon kindled. But the hay burns so fast that it can't be roasted. I had to think of another way. I wrapped the mutton in mud and buried it under the fire.

"Ready to eat, chief?"

"Wait a little longer." If lamb isn't properly roasted, it's not as easy to rewrap and cook, and more importantly, you lose a lot of meat.

Ten of us and two goats will only give us enough food for a few days.

After I had left the fire burning, I took the two sheep skins with me, and when I had peeled off the innermost layer of the goat skin, I was ready to make a Sheepskin Coat. It's not as warm as a straw mat.

After peeling a good, I set on Li Wanxue, and then cut off the leg of sheep skin, cut into line, cut a small hole in the sheep's skin incision, with the leg of sheep skin line to do the rope, after doing a good job, directly to Li Wanxue put on.

By this time the mutton should be almost cooked. When the fire comes out, there is a smell of funt and meat. There were no condiments, but everyone ate enthusiastically.

After eating a lot, Li Wanxue suddenly smiled. "If we hadn't experienced so much, we would never have thought this kind of mutton would taste good."

"Sure, everything I eat tastes good now."

"Because there's nothing to eat."

Li Wanxue close to me, blew a breath: "you smell my mouth there is no odor."

"It's too strong." I waved my hand hard.

"Screw you." Li Wanxue smiled and hit me twice.

After eating, I divided the meat equally among everyone.

When I had finished, I said, "Everyone take your meat with you. If any of you want to go, you can have a bite to eat on the way."

"We will follow you, chief."

"Yes, if it wasn't for you, the chief, we don't know how hungry we'd be."

"I hope we can go back to Cuckoo Island together." I'm trying to be nice to them, and I don't care what happens.

Continue to begin to move forward, I continue to peel the inner layer of a piece of sheepskin, peeling in Li Wanxue's waist. On the way, I finished the sheepskin skirt for her and planned to make a pair of sheepskin shoes with the extra part.

"Must you give me both the sheepskins?" Li Wanxue felt sorry to say: "you can do a sheepskin jacket."

I shook my head. 'You're my woman, and I'm going to do the best I can for you. And I'm so strong, I'm not so cold."

Li Wanxue leaned close to me and whispered, "But what about the others? You gave me the best. They're going to have a problem with it."

"There's only one woman on our team. If you were a man, would you fight that woman for things?" I asked.

Li wanxue smiled and shook her head.
