Everyone was shocked when they heard the wild buffalo roaring out of the woods, and they all turned to look at Gu Ling!
Gu Ling also froze for a moment, feeling the terror of the buffalo charging towards her. She took two steps back, but she wasn't too scared because the next second, the buffalo stepped into the pit they had dug today!
The buffalo struggled and tried to jump out, but it couldn't. It could only wriggle around in the pit and eventually lay down exhausted on the ground!
Suddenly, another buffalo appeared out of thin air, and everyone was delighted. This buffalo was a female, and in the afternoon, two calves somehow came to find their mother and fell into the pit one after another. Wow, the whole family was reunited!
It was so easy to catch three buffalo, which made everyone excited!
However, Gu Ling didn't plan to eat the beef. "The calves are still young, and the mother buffalo should be kept for them to suckle. Let's feed the mother buffalo more grass. Maybe we can even get some milk!"
That day, everyone made a rope and tied up the mother buffalo. They also built a fence to make a cow pen. However, because the mother buffalo was still too restless, they couldn't get close to milk her yet. They would keep her for now.
In the trap set by Gu Ling earlier, they also caught two pheasants. They put one in the chicken coop to raise, and the other one was killed and cleaned to make coconut chicken for dinner! They also baked a batch of bread in the newly made bread kiln. The smell made everyone unable to resist their hunger.
However, Zhou Cheng and Wang Haohan had not returned yet, so they had to wait a little longer for dinner.
Peng Xiaoyue became hungrier as she smelled the aroma and muttered to herself that maybe Zhou Cheng and the others wouldn't come back!
The sunset spilled over the sea, and the sky gradually darkened. Finally, Zhou Cheng and Wang Haohan returned in a small boat. They were covered in sweat, but they had smiles on their faces!
"Gu Ling! Gu Ling! Do you know how much money we made? 1,116 yuan! My goodness! We're rich, we're really rich now!" Zhou Cheng was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Even Wang Haohan, who usually didn't smile much, couldn't help but laugh. "There are still many people who know what they're talking about! The moment our goodies were set out at the entrance of the market, and soon people were fighting to buy them! Some even made reservations with us! We told them we'll go back in half a month!"
At this rate, they will definitely be able to accumulate another batch of fish, shrimp, and seafood in half a month. By then, they can bring it to the mainland to sell and make a lot of money!
Li Haixia's eyes lit up: "Just relying on the resources on this island, we can make more money than when we used to work in our hometown. Our lives will be guaranteed from now on!"
Only Peng Xiaoyue sarcastically laughed. She was given over a thousand yuan by her mother when she came, just in case she needed money on the way.
In this shit-hole of a place, money is useless!
Zhou Cheng and Wang Haohan handed the money to Li Haixia, and then took out the list of things that Gu Ling had asked them to buy, including some seeds, cooking condiments, cloth, and some flour. They arranged a storage shelf on Gu Ling's side of the kitchen, and put everything on it. As they looked at the increasingly complete setup of the wooden house, they also felt happy.
The days on the island would get better and better!
Everyone was very happy that night, envisioning the future days and feeling content.
Only Peng Xiaoyue occasionally looked out to the sea, eagerly anticipating the day when Lu Yanchen would come to this island.
They say heroes have a hard time resisting beautiful women. When Lu Yanchen comes, she can just persistently pursue him. Can't she handle Lu Yanchen?
However, she was becoming more and more worried about Gu Ling. Every time she saw Gu Ling, she would feel anxious. What if Lu Yanchen falls for Gu Ling?
No one paid attention to Peng Xiaoyue's worries because the other educated youths were busy working with Gu Ling.
They reclaimed more wasteland in front and behind the house, not only planting crops but also planting cucumber seedlings, chili seedlings, tomato seedlings, and so on, which Zhou Cheng bought from the mainland. This way, the vegetable garden was also ready.
It's not easy to take care of a vegetable garden. It have to be watered every morning and evening. But every time it's watered, the vegetables growing crazily, which brings joy.
For example, chicory grows very quickly. After sowing the seeds, within a few days, the seedlings sprout. Watching the growing vegetable seedlings, Li Haixia couldn't help but squat on the edge of the field and sigh, "Rural life is still better. Before, I worked in the city, and everyone was scrambling to go to the city. But actually, thinking about it, if one doesn't worry about food and clothing, the countryside is more comfortable!"
Looking up at the nearby sea and beach, her heart suddenly opens up, and the previous worries become distant, as if they belong to another world.
Li Haixia turned her head and looked at Gu Ling, who was watering the sunflower seedlings, and couldn't help but ask, "Gu Ling, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry in the future?"
What kind of outstanding male comrade is worthy of such a good girl?
Gu Ling smiled, her bright eyes and white teeth shining like a beautiful magnolia flower. Her voice was faint, "I don't want to get married for now. I'm living a good life every day. Why do I need to get married?"
Li Haixia was surprised to find someone she could talk to about marriage and relationships.
Zhou Cheng ran over eagerly, "I just caught some fish. What do we want to eat for lunch?"
Gu Ling thought for a moment, "What do you guys want to eat?"
There are not many ingredients at the moment. In fact, we have been eating the same few things. To be honest, shenwants to try something different.
Peng Xiaoyue, who was forced to pull out weeds on the side, stood up immediately upon hearing this, "I don't want to eat seafood today. I want to eat some other meat."
As she said that, her eyes were fixed on the chickens in the coop. Last time they ate chicken, she wanted to eat the chicken leg, but everyone insisted on giving it to Gu Ling. She was so angry. If they were to kill a chicken again, she would definitely eat the chicken leg!
But chickens cannot be killed every day, and Li Haixia's smile faded, "If you want to eat something, go make it yourself. We'll eat whatever Gu Ling makes."
Peng Xiaoyue stomped her foot in anger, "You guys are bullying me!"
She turned around and wanted to run. She wanted to go to the woods to see if she could catch a pheasant. She would eat it herself and not give it to anyone else!
But Gu Ling stopped her with a shout, "Peng Xiaoyue! Don't go to the woods today!"
Peng Xiaoyue sneered, "I'm going, what's the big deal!"
Gu Ling was also a little angry: "If you want to die, go ahead! We've been here for so long, don't you use your brain to observe? Whenever there are wild animals, the number of birds and other animals decreases. Today, there are obviously no birds coming out, there is likely to be some wild animal out there!"
But Peng Xiaoyue clearly didn't believe it: "You're fooling a three-year-old child!"
She ran away angrily without looking back. Li Haixia immediately wanted to chase after her because if something happened to Peng Xiaoyue, as the team leader, she would also be responsible!
Moreover, Peng Xiaoyue had connections back home. If someone were to look for Li Haixia, when the time comes, Li Haixia will also be in bad luck.
Seeing the two running towards the woods, Gu Ling immediately called a few male educated youth to stop them all!
The more Peng Xiaoyue thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't understand why everyone liked Gu Ling and listened to her. Every time they went out together, Gu Ling seemed to know everything and caught better things than everyone else!
The woods where nothing had happened every day, what could happen today?
As she was running, she suddenly tripped and when she looked up, she was stunned. Not far away, there was a ferocious wild boar!
