Of course, due to the narrow and concealed entrance of the cave, we didn't have to worry about the wolf pack getting in. To ensure safety, I even made a makeshift gate with thorny shrubs and a bolt. Any outside animals attempting to enter would first have to contend with the thorny shrubs and then break the long wooden stick securing the gate. Achieving both of these simultaneously would be very difficult.
Although the wolf pack couldn't enter, it became extremely dangerous for the girls to go out searching for wild vegetables and fruits. I suggested they stay in the cave as much as possible, and the task of finding food would be solely my responsibility. The scar-faced monkey played with us for a while and then disappeared into the forest.
We continued organizing the cave, and soon, Li Lin screamed. Her silver bell-like voice exclaimed, "Come and see, there are writings on the wall! What is this?"
Li Lin's words piqued our interest. We found that one side of the cave's stone wall was covered with chaotic and unreadable Japanese characters. Although we couldn't understand the writing, it seemed to be done by a woman judging from the elegant handwriting.
"It's a pity we don't understand Japanese; otherwise, we could know what these say!" Su Jie said regretfully.
I also felt a bit disappointed but smiled, "It's okay. I think these might be just some nonsense written by Japanese women stranded on a deserted island out of boredom. It probably won't be of any use."

Listening to me, Li Lin nodded, "Living alone for a long time, a person is bound to go a little crazy. Fortunately, I met you guys. If I had stayed alone for a day or two earlier, I would probably have been lonely to death!"
"I think Xiao Wei is right. These characters look sloppy, and the woman who carved them must have been in a bad mood, maybe just bored..." Xu Xiaorong, rarely, agreed with my opinion.
Only Peggy, although she nodded, seemed a bit absent-minded, staring at the characters.
I vaguely felt that Peggy might understand Japanese, but since she didn't want to say, I didn't press her further. In the following days, we gradually settled into this new stone cave. With the new residence, I slept well for a few nights, fully rejuvenating my spirits. Nights were no longer so tense, and with improved rest, I was more energetic for hunting.
However, relying on just me for hunting and the girls foraging for wild fruits and vegetables, our food supply was still somewhat tight. Fortunately, the girls occasionally caught fish in the spring water of the cave, providing a temporary solution to our survival problems.
"Although the conditions in this cave are much better than the previous one, it's still unsafe due to the wolf pack. Su Jie and the others stay in the cave every day, and they're about to go crazy. Taking everything into consideration, the previous place is still better..." I decided to intensify the search for Hu Yijian and his gang, find them as soon as possible, solve the issue, and then move back to our previous residence.
Every day, in addition to hunting, I spent over an hour, sometimes even two, searching in the northwest direction. It was after about four days that I finally made a discovery!
