65.Set up traps

Both of them stared at me disapprovingly. "Isn't it fascinating? You like these brainless bimbos with big breasts? Look at you, so insensible!" Su Jie asked with a stern face. I wanted to say, "Actually, you are quite big too, just don't compare yourself with aggressive Western girls like Peggy."

"Pervert! Disgusting! Why don't you just die!" Xu Xiaorong, as always, retorted venomously.

After they finished speaking, they exchanged a glance and unexpectedly showed expressions of mutual appreciation. I was puzzled; weren't these two women at odds just a few days ago? It seemed that after Peggy arrived, the relationship between Su Jie and Xu Xiaorong suddenly improved. Could it be because both of them strongly opposed Peggy?

"I don't care about this; it's a normal physiological reaction!" I said while hastily using the little Jap's military coat to cover myself below, or else my little brother wouldn't calm down anytime soon, and walking around with a tent was too embarrassing.

After hearing my explanation, Su Jie rolled her eyes, and Xu Xiaorong looked at me with disgust, turning her head away.

"What's wrong with you two so early in the morning?" Peggy also woke up, innocently stretching and revealing her well-endowed figure even more. Looking at her like this, she seemed unaware that her dreams had already caused me quite a bit of trouble!

Feeling that I might embarrass myself further if I continued to be enticed by her, I quickly said I was going out to find some food and hurriedly left the cave. Once outside, the biting cold wind cleared my mind considerably. I collected some wild fruits for breakfast and headed towards the location where I set traps yesterday.

After entering winter, wild fruits outside became very scarce. I walked for half a day, with little harvest and a heavy heart. However, when I arrived at the first trap I set yesterday, my mood improved a bit because there was prey caught!

Yesterday, I dug three pits, but only the first one had hay and bait. The other two traps were incomplete. This first trap was intended for testing. I had noticed that these cat-wolves only came to the beach area for food in the early morning and forenoon, so I wasn't worried about alarming them with this test trap set last night.

Now, as I checked, I found that the hay and twigs covering the test trap had fallen, and in the pit, there was a small and vigilant canine animal looking at me. I hadn't seen this creature on the island before, likely some nocturnal hunter. It looked a bit like a wild dog but was half the size.

I decided to call it a small wild dog. Standing outside the trap, I used a bamboo spear to stab the creature, quickly killing it. However, I also discovered a problem—the pit, about the height of a person, seemed insufficiently deep. The creature inside had jumped a few times and almost leaped out.

This made me cautious. Fortunately, it was just a test trap. I hadn't considered it thoroughly earlier; these cat-wolves were larger and likely had formidable jumping ability, being feline creatures. The pit was still too shallow. I went back, had breakfast, and quickly returned to dig both traps much deeper before setting them up properly.
