So, we all started to dissect the large cat-wolf together. Catching fur-bearing animals and making fur clothing were two different things. The crafting of fur clothing is a complex process, and although we discussed it for a while, our understanding in this area was limited. We knew that we needed to skin the animal first, clean off the meat and fat, and then dry and soak it in salt.

However, for us, the fur didn't need to be too beautifully crafted; it just needed to provide warmth, which wasn't too difficult to achieve. The intricacies of external fur crafting are mainly for aesthetic purposes, to preserve the quality of the fur. However, if we were to make leather, that would be even more challenging, and the few of us amateurs were unlikely to accomplish it.

That evening, we slaughtered several fish, roasted a large amount of meat, and everyone enjoyed themselves, in high spirits. While feasting on the meat and feeling the tender glances from the girls, I felt a bit triumphant and spoke up, "Feasting on meat feels great. It's a pity we don't have any alcohol; otherwise, this night would be perfect."

My words cast a bit of a shadow over everyone. I wanted to drink alcohol, and they wanted soft drinks or milk tea, making the atmosphere a bit somber. In this deserted island, these aspects were indeed not as developed as in the city.

However, upon further thought, were we being too greedy? When we first arrived on the deserted island, every morsel of food was a heaven-sent gift. Now that we could feast on meat, we wanted alcohol too. I chuckled at my own thoughts and buried the desire for alcohol deep within.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

The revelry from the night before made me regret a bit. In the following days, I managed to catch two more, one of which was the one I wounded earlier.

The next morning, I found it barely alive in the nearby forest. Beside it was a small cat-wolf, snuggling closely to its mother. Seeing me approach, it looked a bit frightened but dared not leave its mother's side. I brought this little fellow back too and enclosed it in a bamboo cage.

Xu Xiaorong thought it was cute and wanted to tame it. I was skeptical about this; taming a dog took generations, and it would be extremely difficult for us to tame this little fellow. I just wanted to have some fresh food in the future.

Over ten days passed like this, and the weather became colder. One morning, I noticed that it was snowing outside, and the jungle was covered in a white blanket. Even inside the cave, the chilly air made our breath visible when we spoke.

Fortunately, we had completed the production of fur clothing in advance, and everyone was wrapped in thick animal hides, enough to withstand the severe cold. These fur clothes were meticulously sewn by Li Lin using bone needles. Although a bit rough, they looked decent overall.

With the fur clothing, the women could also go outside, and my burden lightened considerably. The nearby wild fruits had almost disappeared, but Li Lin and Su Jie found a wild vegetable similar to peas. Paired with preserved meat, it brought a unique flavor.

However, due to the cold weather, my hunting yields significantly decreased. Even the nearby cat-wolf pack seemed to have disappeared, perhaps migrating to the warmer interior of the deserted island.
