After being stranded on a deserted island, they all plotted against me

The three of them followed behind and started to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths.

At this moment, the rain in the sky is still continuing and there is no sign of it slowing down.

At least there were green bean-sized raindrops falling continuously on the ground, making sounds in the trees.

Compared to the dry feeling inside the tree hole, when everyone walked outside, they immediately felt the uncomfortable feeling that was so suffocating that they couldn't speak.

"Well……"

Compared to Zhang Liu and other girls who endured silently, Anya pouted her lips and looked impatient.

What she hated most was the situation where three kilograms of water could be squeezed out of the air.

But no matter how annoying it is, the most basic hygiene issues still need to be taken care of.

The alloy pot was placed outside to collect water last night, and it was already full.

Although part of it had been used by Zhang Liu and others, it was enough for Anya, Zhou Fang, and Gu Qingrou who came out later to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths.

When Anya came out, Zhang Liu had already finished cleaning.

He silently glanced at Gu Xixi, whose face was slightly red but who was brushing her teeth seriously, making it clear that she was not prepared to communicate.

Then he turned and walked into the tree hole to prepare breakfast.

Behind Zhang Liu, Lan Yueting had a conflicted expression.

Although I don’t know why Gu Xixi left that bamboo tube.

But based on her woman's intuition, she judged that it was most likely related to Zhang Liu.

Her eyes fell on her chest. For Lan Yueting, this was the place she was most proud of...

"???"

Su Yan and Anya noticed Lan Yueting's eyes at the same time.

The two little lolis, who were already envious and jealous of each other's breasts, suddenly became a little angry.

Zhou Fang and Gu Qingrou, who came out last, looked at Gu Xixi silently. The former still couldn't understand the source of the milk, while the latter was a little confused.

Gu Qingrou, who had tasted that kind of feeling on Zhang Liu's body, now felt even more reluctant to let him go.

When the girls started brushing their teeth with their own thoughts, Zhang Liu was scratching his head and thinking about his breakfast and itinerary arrangements for the day.

Breakfast is easy to say.

There is no need to eat jerky in the morning; it is too greasy.

Simply put the taro powder into the alloy pot and start stewing.

As for the itinerary.

Originally, he was planning to go over diagonally to collect the coffee berries, then return to the eight banyan trees to process the coffee berries.

The final result is that Zhou Fang and Lan Yueting will return with coffee fruits tomorrow, while he, Anya, Su Yan and the other two will work together to continue the subsequent forest exploration and acquisition of eggs.

But now Zhang Liu has a new idea.

That is whether you can first reach the coffee tree and then walk north from the coffee tree.

Try to reach the ridge grassland below the highest peak, and finally hunt chickens and eggs for Zhou Fang and Lan Yueting to take away.

This has two benefits.

The first benefit is that we can make full use of the two laborers, Teacher Zhou and Lan Yueting, to build Shelter No. 4.

The second benefit is that I can bring eggs as a birthday gift to Xiang Lingying who didn't receive any birthday present.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, in Zhang Liu's concept, eggs were a good thing to eat on birthdays...

While considering the overall plan changes in his mind, he did not forget to use the branch in his hand to stir the taro powder in the alloy pot.

When Anya and others came in, breakfast was already prepared and they were just waiting to be eaten.

After eating taro flour porridge for breakfast.

Zhang Liu, Lan Yueting, Zhou Fang, Anya and Su Yan also began to prepare luggage for Gu Xixi and Gu Qingrou who were about to embark on their return journey.

Anya and Su Yan, two little girls, are responsible for boiling rainwater to prepare fresh water resources for them.

Zhou Fang and Lan Yueting took up the curtains and hung them next to the fire to dry, so as to ensure that the two of them could sleep comfortably tonight.

As for Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi, they were asked to sit on the ground to rest and digest their food.

Zhang Liu sat next to the book basket that Gu Xixi was going to carry. He carefully checked the contents, confirming whether there were any signs of water leakage or moisture on the food, candles, fire, and flints. He said, "Sister Xixi, please take good care of Qingrou."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the young lady and make her safe."

Gu Xixi glanced at Gu Qingrou beside her, then spoke with a smile.

Gu Qingrou didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

She liked and was extremely happy about Zhang Liu's calling her "Qingrou".

After everything was prepared, Gu Xixi set off with Gu Qingrou, carrying a basket of books.

In her double-layered book basket, the upper layer was covered with curtain cloth, and on top of that was a sheepskin bag filled with boiling water.

As for the bottom layer, there were twelve portions of taro powder, six sticks of bacon, half a sausage, two portions of flints, six portions of fire, and a candle.

Although there was less fresh water, everyone had already left bamboo tubes filled with fresh water in the "pioneering shelters" along the way for later use.

In this way, it can basically ensure that Gu Qingrou and Gu Xixi can trek leisurely in the forest for about four or five days.

"Hey……"

I sighed slightly and walked in the forest. Although I hadn't walked far, I could still see the "landmark" of eight banyan trees in the rain.

But at the moment, Gu Xixi was really nervous.

Because the young lady beside her didn't speak for a long time...

Chapter 268: Gu Xixi Begins to Read Micro-Expressions

"Sister Xixi... do you like Zhang Liu?"

When Gu Xixi secretly turned her head to look at the expression of her own young lady for the N+1th time.

Gu Qingrou suddenly asked in a low voice.

Although she already had the answer in her mind, Gu Qingrou had no choice but to speak up in advance as she wanted to continue the topic.

"Yes... yes!" After a few seconds of silence, Gu Xixi admitted it directly.

"call……"

Faced with such a direct answer, Gu Qingrou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, what she was most afraid of hearing was her maid's denial, as that would be really troublesome.

At this moment, turning her head to look at Gu Xixi, Gu Qingrou's eyes were full of seriousness.

"Miss?" Feeling a little numb at the look in her eyes, Gu Xixi asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!" He shook his head vigorously to show that he was really fine, and then Gu Qingrou said, "Sister Xixi, do you know that I like Zhang Liu?"

Pursing her lips slightly, Gu Xixi did not answer immediately when faced with this topic that might very likely spark a conflict between the two of them.

She processed the news she received quickly.

The eldest lady first shook her head, and while shaking her head her eyes were fixed on herself.

Judging from the body language, this means that the other party is currently taking the initiative.

If your eyes are looking diagonally upwards, you may be imagining a certain scene.

He didn't raise his eyebrows, which meant that there was nothing wrong with his emotions.

The arms and hands are open, which shows a welcoming mood.

After interpreting the body language, Gu Xixi began to recall what Gu Qingrou had just said to her.

"Sister Xixi" "Then" "What"

The combination of these three words does not seem to be intended to provoke conflict.

After taking a deep breath, the maid of the Gu family, who had roughly guessed her young lady's thoughts, answered: "Young lady, I know that you like Young Master Zhang Liu."

"Then Sister Xixi, are you still competing with me for it?" Just as Gu Xixi had predicted, although she spoke in a tone that sounded like blaming, at the moment Gu Qingrou looked away in a standard posture of diverting the subject.

This means that the other party is not angry at all...

"I don't want to compete with you, young lady. I'm going to compete with the head maid Xiang Wanying." Gu Xixi cleverly opened her mouth to lead the young lady to the enemy who should also be a headache for her. She gradually began to master the rhythm of the conversation, and she did not forget to walk forward slowly.

This was another way of doing things by Gu Xixi. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that Gu Qingrou had to follow her footsteps to completely control the right to talk.

Although doing so did seem like she was plotting against her own young lady, Gu Xixi, who had already vaguely guessed why she had been depressed for so many days, wanted to solve this problem once and for all!

At the same time, on the mountainside, Xiang Wanying, Xiang Lingying, Song Shuyao, Zhao Yiran and Little Leopard, the four people and one beast were gathered in bamboo house No. 3.

They had finished their breakfast and had tidied up the pigsty, the goat hutch, and the rabbit hutch.

Now everyone is preparing to come and check the brick firing progress yesterday.

After a whole day of cooling, the earthen kiln that was originally burning fiercely in Bamboo House No. 3 has entered a state of complete cooling.

Just open it and you can tell whether yesterday's hard work was worth it.

But now the girls all had hesitant looks on their faces.

Because they were all unsure about the results of the brick firing, some of them were too bold to open the lid.

After all, what if something like the mud bricks are burned?

That means that the four of them directly ruined at least one day's work for everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, and at this moment everyone was under great pressure and hoped that the other party could give some "unboxing" suggestions so that they could know the answer.

But no one wants to say it out loud...

"Wow……"

With a soft cry, the little leopard jumped onto the lid of the earthen kiln first.

It didn't know what the four people in front of it were struggling with.

The little guy now just relies on instinct to choose a flat and dry place to lie down obediently, just like avoiding the sun.

I haven’t gone back to sleep since I was woken up this morning!

However, the little leopard's actions also made the girls make up their minds.

"Come here." With a coquettish voice, Xiang Wanying reached out to pick up the little leopard who had grown a lot and held it in her arms.

Xiang Lingying and Zhao Yiran worked together to push open the lid of the earthen kiln.

"Zi la..."

With a grinding sound that made one's teeth ache, the dark entrance of the earthen kiln was opened.

Because it was a rainy day outside, it was really hard to see what was going on inside.

Standing at the edge of the earthen kiln, looking at the dark environment inside with a slight red color.

The girls showed conflicted expressions on their faces again.

how to say.

Although I know that the most inside is wood ash or charcoal, and the dirtiest thing is just burnt bricks.

But they instinctively didn't want to go down.

Because that would make me look like a "dusty" little cat in front of other people.

"Let me go down!" When everyone was in a state of confusion, Song Shuyao, who wanted to perform and gain acceptance from the team, made up her mind and then she said in a low voice.

Then he didn't wait for anyone else to speak.

I squatted next to the earthen kiln and confirmed with my hand that the temperature inside was fine.

Song Shuyao simply climbed down along the edge.

The kiln body is about one meter high, and the depth below the soil line is half a meter.

The distance was only up to her neck.
