Back to the Wilderness

While thinking in his mind, Ji Fuyun quietly observed Xie Cheng and his party.

When Xie Cheng took out flammable things such as old man's whiskers, velvet grass, withered grass, and a poplar board, Ji Fuyun guessed what he was going to do—to make fire by drilling wood.

Very primitive and tiring but absolutely effective method of making fire.

Others set up a grill made of branches in the cave, and put the dire wolf on it.Xie Cheng took out a dagger and cut a V-shaped gap in the poplar board.

Ji Fuyun's eyes stopped on the dagger, the workmanship was exquisite and low-key, the blade was gray, it looked inconspicuous but extremely sharp.Xie Cheng just scratched twice, and the hard poplar was cut open.

"Brother Xie is going to work hard again?" A worried voice sounded, "Why don't you use a lighter? There are many people here. Every time I see Brother Xie make a fire, his hand hurts."

Xie Cheng turned a deaf ear to these, and continued to find a pine branch as thick as a finger.

"Caicai, Xie Cheng has his own intentions for doing this. We don't know how long we will stay here. Fire is very important to us. If you don't need a tool like a lighter that can start a fire immediately, don't use it. Keep it until Maybe it can save our lives when we are in danger.”

This makes sense.Ji Fuyun followed the voice and saw that it was a woman who was speaking. Maybe this woman was attending a banquet before coming to this world. She was wearing a tight-fitting blue dress, which outlined her beautiful curves.There was also delicate makeup on her face, which was a bit smudged at the moment, but it didn't affect her dignified and intelligent temperament.

Looking back at the woman named Caicai, both in appearance and temperament, she lost a lot of chips to this woman.

"Oh." Xu Caicai responded with a mutter, her eyes fixed on Xie Cheng all the time, and her heartache and worry became more and more exposed.

Ji Fuyun thought it was funny.This person obviously has a secret heart for Xie Chengfang. In such a precarious place, she is still in a nympho mood. I don't know whether to say she is optimistic or naive.

Xie Cheng placed the poplar board on top of a pile of withered grass, inserted the pine branches directly into the V-shaped gap of the board sprinkled with sawdust, and drilled vigorously.

A few minutes passed, but no sparks were produced, and Xie Cheng continued to drill without changing his face. His hands were very steady and strong, and the long-term rotation did not make him tired.

I have to say that Xie Cheng at this time is very attractive, with a resolute and serious profile with a heroic look, giving people a very reliable sense of security.

Of course, Ji Fuyun saw all of the above on Xu Caicai's face. When he looked at Xie Cheng, what he saw was just a man struggling to survive.

With a flash of sparks, the old man must be the first to be ignited.Then, Xie Cheng turned the branches for a while, and there were more and more sparks, and sparks rose one after another from the withered grass under the board.

Huh—Xu Caicai took a deep breath, as if she was the one who drilled wood to make fire.

The person involved, Xie Cheng, took a look at the good fire and stepped aside, allowing a woman to come over and lead the fire to the fire.He didn't show his face, but his wrist was turning, and the other hand was massaging his palm and fingers.

"Ah, your hands are red!" Xu Caicai exclaimed.

Xie Cheng smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious, the branches are rough and just worn red."

Xu Caicai wanted to cry, "Brother Xie, let me rub it for you..."

"Don't forget to put leaves around." Xie Cheng turned and said to Zhang Shijie, and walked straight to the fire in the cave.

Xu Caicai's hand outstretched in mid-air is not closed, nor is it not closed.

After the fire raged, Ji Fuyun understood Xie Cheng's intention of surrounding the fire with a curtain of leaves.The thick smoke from the fire billowed out, but after passing through a layer of leaves, it was diluted a lot. Although the cave is still smoky, the smell is not very choking. It is definitely uncomfortable, but fortunately there is no lack of oxygen a feeling of.

There were several people around the fire tending the fire, and one of the women seemed skilled enough to dig a shallow pit under the fire to allow the trees to burn well.She grasped the timing of adding firewood very well, ensuring that the fire was always in a vigorous state, it would not be too big and it would not go out, at least Ji Fuyun did not see anyone rushing to rescue the fire.

The smell of meat gradually overflowed, and many people stared at the fire with bright eyes. They were all hungry.

He Zhongqing pinched the corner of Ji Fuyun's clothes tightly and pursed her lips.

Ji Fuyun felt distressed, when did the pampered He Zhongqing suffer so much?His eyes fell on the people around him, and his grief was even stronger.Everyone here, regardless of whether they are glamorous or miserable, have never suffered such suffering.

"It's ready." Xie Cheng drew a few daggers on the wolf's meat and came to a conclusion.

Hearing this, Zhang Shijie and another burly man lifted up the wolf meat, Xie Cheng dumped the sand on the side of the fire, and the fire went out instantly.

"Finally done!"

"I'm starving to death!"

The crowd cheered and jumped up.

Xie Cheng took care of Mars and glanced at the crowd.

This glance made everyone quiet immediately, and they lined up obediently as Xie Cheng said before.

Xie Cheng's face didn't change at all, it seemed that he just took a casual look.

In this environment, having a knife can be said to be a lot more convenient.Perhaps Xie Cheng became the captain because he had a dagger.

The meat was cut off with one knife, and Xie Cheng shared a piece with each of them.

Ji Fuyun noticed that the meat from Xie's ingredients was not the same size.

Zhang Shijie and the other three who captured the dire wolf all got the biggest piece of wolf belly meat, which was soft and easy to chew.The burly man who had been on guard at the entrance of the cave got a slightly smaller piece of meat, but it was much better than the others who were only as big as a palm.The few people who lit the fire also got a relatively large piece of meat.

Others, such as Xu Caicai and women in dresses, were all treated equally.

Seeing that Ji Fuyun didn't go to line up, Xie came over with two pieces of meat after dividing and handed them to the two.

"We have it too?" Ji Fuyun was surprised.

Xie Cheng said with a smile: "As long as you are a member of our team, you still need to show your own skills if you want to eat well."

Ji Fuyun nodded, looking at Xie Cheng's distribution method just now, he knew that the team's rewards were determined by their contributions.

Is the harvest determined by contribution?

These words kept flashing in Ji Fuyun's mind, he finally understood what he had overlooked!

Raising his head suddenly, Ji Fuyun only saw Xie Cheng's leaving back, doubts stuck in his throat, but he didn't know how to ask Xie Cheng to clarify.

Of course, it is true that the reward is determined by the contribution. This is the distribution method that a team should have.The strange thing is, why did Xie Cheng accept a group of people who did not contribute?For example, a weak woman like He Zhongqing knew at a glance that she would not bring much gain to the team, but he stayed without asking, and even distributed food.

Before Ji Fuyun, what Zhong Qing was worried about was because she was afraid that she would be rejected because of her incompetence. When he saw so many women in the cave at first, he ignored this strange point with peace of mind.

Through this brief observation, Ji Fuyun can be sure that Xie Cheng is not the Holy Mother, and will not take in these people just out of sympathy.

Then what is his purpose?Wild beasts are everywhere, and useless people seem worthless.

Ji Fuyun glanced at the small piece of meat in his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Brother Fuyun, what's wrong with you?" He Zhongqing asked cautiously.

Ji Fuyun smiled and shook his head, he didn't want He Zhongqing to panic, "Eat quickly, it won't be good if it's cold."

"Yeah." He Zhongqing nodded heavily, but she didn't expect that her whole face would be distorted after one bite.

"Swallow it." Ji Fuyun shouted hastily.

He Zhongqing looked at Ji Fuyun aggrievedly, saw his serious face, but swallowed the wolf meat forcefully despite the desire to vomit.

"We have no food to waste." Ji Fuyun said softly.

He Zhongqing's tears flowed down instantly, and emotions such as grievance, pain, sadness, fear and so on surged out all at once.

Patting He Zhongqing on the back, Ji Fuyun comforted softly: "Everything will be fine, don't be afraid."

It wasn't until Ji Fuyun ate a mouthful of wolf meat that he realized that He Zhongqing was extremely brave to swallow the meat.The dire wolf was running in the prairie woods, the meat all over its body was very hard, and it took great effort to bite.Not to mention that the barbecue has not been seasoned.

It would be fine if it was completely bland, but wolf meat is still full of pungent fishy smell.Although such meat is also precious, a small piece can only barely satisfy the hunger, and there is no room for any waste.

Ji Fuyun looked at the others, and stuffed the meat into their mouths one by one through gritted teeth.

"What, it's unpalatable?" Zhang Shijie came over and said with a smile.

Ji Fuyun gave a wry smile, and took another bite, "To say it's unpalatable is to exaggerate it."

"It's good if you can eat it." Zhang Shijie sighed, his eyes were empty. "Yesterday, a friend of mine just ate an unknown wild fruit and died suddenly on the spot."

Ji Fuyun was silent, Zhang Shijie said it lightly, but he could imagine the tragedy at that time.

"Hey." Zhang Shijie suddenly stretched out his hand in front of Ji Fuyun, with a small piece of wolf meat on it, which looked soft, "Give this piece of meat to your little sister, she is too young."

"I can't have this..." Ji Fuyun hastily declined.

"What nonsense!" Zhang Shijie pretended to be angry and interrupted Ji Fuyun, "Your brother Zhang has already eaten enough, and I can still bring back a wolf tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about food."

"Then thank you, Brother Zhang." Ji Fuyun followed his words and asked He Zhongqing to thank him.

Zhang Shijie waved his hand, "It is fate that we came to this terrible place, so please help if you can."

Speaking of this, Ji Fuyun's eyes flickered, and the doubts in his heart became more and more intense. He glanced at the women sitting in a group, and said euphemistically: "Yes, my sister and I and those people would not have your help. It’s not long to live.”

Zhang Shijie laughed when he heard this, and looked at Ji Fuyun with teasing eyes.

Ji Fuyun was embarrassed, Zhang Shijie probably heard something in his words.

"You wait first." Zhang Shijie dropped a sentence.

Soon, Zhang Shijie left and returned, with Xie Cheng by his side.

Xie Cheng walked up to Ji Fuyun, sat on the ground, and twirled the strange dagger in his hand, "Smart people are qualified to know the facts."
