77.Hunting deep in the forest

"Alright, Xiaowei, don't be angry anymore. Getting angry won't help now. You've worked hard all day. Take a rest, and we'll go out to find some food. Today, we'll rely on ourselves!" Li Lin came over, using her fair and delicate hands to comfortingly hold mine, giving it a light pat. Then, she and Peggy prepared to go out to search for food.

"I'll go with you. It's too unsafe outside right now, and I'm worried about those people. Since they've attacked us once, it's likely they'll strike again. In the future, you can't go out without my consent," I declared straightforwardly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaorong and Li Lin looked somewhat fearful, nodding repeatedly. Su Jie also agreed, but Peggy hesitated, seeming like she wanted to say something. I glanced at Peggy, feeling that something was off about the British girl.

Even though Peggy and I had been intimate earlier today, almost reaching the point of having a relationship, for some reason, I felt there was something strange about her. It seemed like she was hiding something from us.

"I hope it's just my imagination," I thought to myself. I handed Su Jie a machete and a bamboo spear, instructing her to take care of Xu Xiaorong. Then, I left with the other two women.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"Hopefully, we'll have better luck and catch a couple of island raccoons," I silently prayed. On this island, there was a small mammal resembling a mix between a raccoon and a rabbit. They had thick fur, and sometimes, we could spot them moving around. Despite their cute appearance, they tasted good, and their fur was soft and durable.

We had successfully caught a few before, making a pair of gloves and several pairs of foot covers. Life became much easier with these products since we had no shoes on the island. Unfortunately, our luck didn't seem to be on our side today. We roamed the area for most of the day, but the harvest was meager. In the previous days when we had meat, we could afford to eat fewer vegetables. But now, without meat, relying solely on vegetables meant consuming a significant amount of our food. After all, the energy provided by vegetables was far less than that of meat!

"I'll drop you off first, then try my luck in the forest to the north!" I frowned, reluctantly saying this.

In this cold weather, nearby animals had decreased, and even the crabs on the seashore were nowhere to be found. To find food, I had to head towards the slightly warmer depths of the forest.

Observing the situation, Peggy and Li Lin could only nod in agreement.

"Be careful on your own, we can skip a meal if needed," Li Lin looked at me worriedly.

Peggy encouraged me with a smile, "Zheng, I believe in you. Look forward to hearing good news from you!"
