36.Deep into the forest

Feeling a bit frustrated, I greeted everyone and headed straight out of the cave to search for food. First on the agenda was gathering some wild fruits for breakfast.

Seeing my somewhat gloomy expression, Su Jie seemed to sneak a smile and hurriedly followed me, suggesting we pick fruits together. Shortly after leaving the cave, Su Jie suddenly walked up to me, grabbed my arm, and asked with a playful smile, "Did sister lie just now? You're not mad at me, right?"

Feeling the warmth of Su Jie's arm, I waved my hand and said, "It's fine. Xu Xiaorong has always thought I'm a big pervert, and now she's just more convinced. I don't mind."

Su Jie, pleased with my response, tiptoed and lightly pecked my cheek.

Feeling her cool and moist lips, I was momentarily stunned. When I snapped out of it, I realized Su Jie had already walked ahead, her voice reaching me, "Consider it a reward."

Watching Su Jie's retreating figure, a warm sensation spread through me. Her sturdy and full buttocks swayed with each step, resembling two peaches.

"This little enchantress..."

Muttering to myself, I hurried to catch up, not wanting her to face any accidents.

We first climbed to a slightly elevated area and were delighted to see that the seawater seemed to have receded a bit. I estimated that soon we could check the crashed helicopter. With anticipation, we started collecting fruits. The forest was abundant with fruits, and after gathering them, I also cut some bamboo. We then returned to the cave.

After breakfast, I assigned tasks to Hu Yijian and Xu Xiaorong to cut some wild grass on the nearby hillside. I gave them a few bamboo pieces, carved into makeshift sickles with a small knife. Although not very convenient, they could manage.

"Hu Yijian, work diligently. If it's not enough, don't expect to eat!" I threatened him.

Now resembling a woman, Hu Yijian was doing women's work. He understood his disadvantage and became much more obedient, but occasionally, I could still see the hatred in his eyes.

After they left, I sharpened the longer part of the cut bamboo into two spears. Then, I sharpened some slightly shorter pieces of bamboo that could serve as javelins. I handed one long spear and several bamboo javelins to Su Jie, saying, "Today, with these weapons, let's venture into the forest, head towards the high mountain to the east, and create a distress signal at the summit."

Previously, the fire axe was too short, making close combat risky. I thought it was foolish to engage in close combat with wolves, bears, and other wild animals. When Su Jie heard the proposal of making a distress signal, she showed great excitement, "Xiao Wei, you're so clever! Why didn't I think of that?"

I chuckled, "Lucky guess. My head got hot, and the idea popped up. Let's go quickly; after making the signal, we still need to go hunting."

Seeing us leaving, Li Lin felt a bit worried. Since her body was still weak today, I decided to let her rest for another day.

Su Jie and I set out, heading east. The high mountain was not directly to the east but more towards the northeast. Our cave was in the south of the island, and heading northeast meant going deeper into the island.

The island's vegetation had its characteristics, with sparse and low vegetation near the beach, becoming denser as we moved further inland. Along with this, more animals appeared, increasing the danger. This was also the reason I hadn't dared to venture towards the high mountain without weapons before.
