This was a lush and verdant little valley. Despite the harsh winter, it was filled with the breath of spring, adorned with blooming flowers, lush green grass, and vibrant colors. The misty water vapor lingered and meandered, casting the entire valley in an enchanting ambiance, resembling a fairyland. The warm-scented water vapor made the proximity exceptionally comfortable.
Undoubtedly, what lay before me was a hot spring in the valley! Though small, slightly larger than a basketball court, the hot spring nestled within the embrace of the valley appeared like a colossal gem. The serene surface of the hot spring resembled a delicate and charming woman from the Jiangnan region.
I could barely contain myself and immediately considered plunging in. After all, in this deserted island, I had bathed by the stream, but soaking in a hot spring was an unparalleled luxury. However, mindful of the need for caution and vigilance on the deserted island, I refrained from acting impulsively and observed the surroundings carefully for a while. Soon, I realized there seemed to be no imminent danger nearby.
Firstly, the hot spring water was crystal clear and not too deep, allowing a clear view of the moss and some shrimp and crabs on the bottom. Some fish were swimming in the water, and many foolish birds occasionally flew in, snatching small fish and swallowing them. I hadn't guessed wrong; these foolish birds were indeed close relatives of ospreys!

They must have been attracted by the warmth of the hot spring valley and the abundant food! Secondly, the hot spring water source was abundant, flowing down from the mountain and unlikely to be toxic. To ensure safety, I dipped my fingers into the water for a while, finding no abnormalities. Satisfied, I jumped into the water.
Taking a hot bath in the middle of winter was undeniably blissful; it felt like there could be nothing more enjoyable in life. However, I resisted the temptation and, noting the lateness of the hour, rose to walk back in the direction of the cave. I wanted to share this good news with the women. They would undoubtedly be happier than me, especially because women generally had a greater interest in bathing than men.
Imagining them frolicking naked in the water, my heart fluttered with excitement, full of anticipation.
However, after some contemplation, I began to think it might be unlikely. They didn't seem like the type to play in the water with me, especially Xu Xiaorong. If she didn't take the opportunity to scold me or belittle me, that would already be quite surprising.
