We sat in the cave, contentedly rubbing our stomachs, feeling extremely comfortable. It had been a while since we had eaten something so delicious.
After a short rest, I called Li Lin to start working again. We had just eaten a wild chicken and a rabbit, and there was still one wild chicken left. I asked Li Lin to marinate that chicken with sea salt. Meanwhile, I went outside, shaved a tree branch, and returned to skewer the remaining wild chicken. I inserted the branch into the cave's wall, effectively hanging the chicken.
"Let's consider this chicken as our reserve food. In case we can't find anything to eat unexpectedly, at least we won't go hungry," I said with a smile.
"You're really considerate," Li Lin admired, looking at me like a little sister would gaze at her elder brother. Indeed, Li Lin had a neighborly little sister-like quality. Being with her always made people feel comfortable and at ease.

After processing the preserved meat, I planned to go outside to chop some branches for making a gate. As for the reeds, I had no intention of indulging Huyijian. I directly shouted at him, "Huyijian, come with me. Let's go cut some reeds. You have to work; otherwise, you won't get your share at the next meal!"
Upon hearing my words, Su Jie and Xiaorong nodded in agreement. We couldn't afford to let Huyijian slack off.
Seeing everyone's approval, Huyijian's expression turned extremely unpleasant. He glared at me with deep resentment but had no choice but to stand up and follow me outside.
Qianyi wanted to come along, but I turned back and coldly said, "Don't come. You can work when we bring back the reeds."
I intended to let Xiaorong and Qianyi handle the reeds later. We had to finish making the gate today; otherwise, we would suffer from the cold again at night. Another chilly night could lead to someone getting sick.
After Huyijian and I went out, he looked at me with a very dark expression. Filled with hatred, he shot me an angry look but had no option but to follow me.
"Little beast, you're feeling proud, aren't you? Don't be too arrogant. Believe it or not, I have a thousand ways to make you suffer!" Huyijian shouted at me with red eyes, unable to contain his frustration.
