After living on a desert island, they all plotted evil against me.

When Gu Qingrou placed a large bunch of snake skin fruits in the shelter and walked back to the woods.

Qin Ruoyan had already lifted a snake that was two fingers thick and more than one meter long with its head cut off from the ground with her hands, with a somewhat happy smile on her face.

If the snake's head was not still twisting after being cut off, and the incision site was dripping blood, this scene would still feel slightly healing.

But right now, all that's left is the feeling of terror.

"Ah..." Looking at the scene in front of her that could definitely be called terrifying, Gu Qingrou swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously, and then exclaimed: "Snake!"

But seeing her reaction, Qin Ruoyan also smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's a dead snake. We have meat to eat tonight!"

eat meat!

These two words directly hit Gu Qingrou's heart.

At this moment, the snake being picked up by the other party began to look a bit pleasing to the eye from being scary.

However, Qin Ruoyan and Gu Qingrou, who had other clear goals, did not dwell on the snake for too long.

After being beheaded, the body was still squirming slightly and he threw it next to the banana tree that had accumulated a lot of water.

After they used banana tree stems for simple water replenishment.

The two discussed it, and then based on the rough memories they had in their minds, they started to go to the large pyrite mine behind the snakeskin orchard.

When the sun moves from the center to the southwest.

Qin Ruoyan and Gu Qingrou also walked back with a bag of pyrite.

Probably because of the age, the stone surface of this pyrite is still relatively crisp.

At least for the metal piece held by two people, it only needs to be pried with a slight force to pry a lump off from above.

As for the specific harvest, they didn't count.

But among these pyrite ores, there were only five standard cubes similar to the two in Zhang Liu's hand.

Others are round and lumpy.

"The next thing is to make a fire."

He took off the old man's beard hanging in front of him and stuffed it into the pocket of his school skirt as a tinder.

As she spoke, Qin Ruoyan's face was filled with smiles.

She was very happy indeed.

After the pyrite is obtained, the biggest task is completed.

All that was left to do was to return to the rock ledge and start making a fire to roast the snake meat.

Then tomorrow, he and Gu Qingrou can embark on the return journey.

First, I met my sister and Xiang Lingying who were waiting in the cave, and finally met Zhang Liu, who had been away for a long time...

Chapter 4: I feel like you two don’t match each other (monthly ticket reward plus Chapter 11)

When Qin Ruoyan fantasized about how she would make a fire and roast snake meat later.

Her sister Qin Ruoshuang was already sitting side by side with Xiang Lingying, fishing for pieces of mutton and eating them.

The time came before noon.

Move the fire under the cave and add a lot of thick wood inside to prevent it from burning out.

After a simple breakfast and lunch, Qin Ruoshuang set out on the road carrying rabbit legs and sea salt.

Without any water storage container at hand, the only thing she could do was to head to her belly and pour some water.

And he held a coconut in his hand as a source of water.

In Qin Ruoshuang's opinion, it was just a day without drinking water. Even if she gritted her teeth, she could bear it.

But after walking for a while, she saw a rocky plain not far away.

A black figure was walking toward him with long strides.

From the current angle, Qin Ruoshuang felt that the other person was about the same size as a black bean.

"Xiang Lingying!"

But even if it was just a figure that she couldn't even tell who it was, it was enough for her to jump and wave, and shout out the other person's name with all her strength.

Qin Ruoshuang really shouted with all her strength.

The sound was loud, echoing across the plain of rock and grass.

But unfortunately, in this situation where she couldn't see clearly, her voice had no way of reaching the other party's ears.

After a few seconds of silence, Qin Ruoshuang chose to walk forward again with the rabbit legs on her back.

But what was different from her original plan was that she drank the coconut directly in her hand.

When the sun just reached the top of the head, Qin Ruoshuang, who was carrying rabbit legs, and Xiang Lingying, who was carrying lamb legs, met successfully.

Boil water for a leg of lamb, remove the hair, then cut it into pieces and stew it in an alloy pot!

There was no need to communicate anymore. The first time she heard the other person say that there was a leg of lamb on her back, she thought of this cooking technique.

There were two bottles of water on Xiang Lingying's waist. She had drank one bottle along the way, and the other bottle was given to Qin Ruoshuang.

The sun was so strong that it scorched the entire rocky plain.

The grassland next to the rocky plain has a layer of steam that is like steam.

So on the way back, the two of them had almost no conversation except for a few words they had just met.

When they came to the entrance of the cave, the two of them acted in unison.

That is not to go up first, but to drink heavily from the small clay pot next to the puddle.

"Ah... I'm saved..." Xiang Lingying couldn't help but sigh as he felt his thirsty throat being instantly moistened by the clear liquid.

Beside her, Qin Ruoshuang was also slightly embarrassed.

Although the rabbit legs combined are not as heavy as two woolly lamb legs, they are definitely not that light.

She was very tired after all the hard work.

The two walked into the cave one after another along the small steps next to the cave.

Feeling the unique coolness and comfortable straw mat inside the cave, Xiang Lingying returned to the cave and lay down to catch up on his sleep after not sleeping well last night.

It wasn't until the evening when her stomach began to growl that she was woken up again by the smell of the pot.

Without enough time to speak, Xiang Lingying took the handed chopsticks, said a simple thank you, and started to eat the meat pieces side by side with Qin Ruoshuang.

Qin Ruoshuang's cooking method can be regarded as simple and crude, making the most of the additives.

But the price she paid was that she didn't have any rest for the entire afternoon.

First, the fire burning outside the cave was moved inside the cave.

Then use a metal sheet and hot water to remove the wool from the two lamb legs.

One of the lamb legs was cut into dried meat and marinated for preservation. The lamb leg bones were crushed with stones and then put into an alloy pot to stew with the other leg of lamb.

After eating a few pieces of mutton, I filled my originally empty stomach.

Xiang Lingying also shared with Qin Ruoshuang all the things that happened during the time when he and Zhang Liu were together.

"Well, Zhang Liu's place has no salt, so the grilled offal skewers have a very bland taste."

"There's no one else but him."

"We dug the hole together."

"And there was a confrontation with the wolves."

The whole eating process was very long, from dusk until the sky gradually turned dark.

Qin Ruoshuang barely used her chopsticks, holding a piece of "sour" mutton in her mouth, and she kept listening silently to Xiang Lingying's words.

It wasn't until Xiang Lingying put down his chopsticks, picked up a half-cooled lamb leg bone and started to slurp it, that Qin Ruoshuang suddenly whispered: "Xiang Lingying, can I ask you something?"

Xiang Lingying, who was trying hard to enjoy the bone marrow of the mutton leg, was stunned for a moment when she heard the words of her companion in front of her, and she also felt a little inexplicable nervous in her heart.

Because Xiang Lingying heard that Qin Ruoshuang's tone was very serious.

But then she nodded and said, "Hello."

"Do you like Zhang Liu?"

Looking at the eldest lady of the Xiang family in front of her, whom she had a friendship with but not a very deep one, Qin Ruoshuang spoke in a very serious tone.

She is not stupid, nor is she blind.

The smile that the other party showed when he talked about Zhang Liu just now was enough to explain a lot of things.

The reason why she asked Xiang Lingying so frankly was because Qin Ruoshuang considered the other party's identity.

In her mind, Zhang Liu and herself, the second young lady who could marry outside, were a perfect match.

And the eldest daughter of the Qin family, her sister Qin Ruoyan, can barely do it without getting a certificate...

But with Xiang Lingying, an eldest lady who will definitely have a place in the political arena in the future, she is definitely incompatible!

With the idea of ​​​​cutting the mess quickly, Qin Ruoshuang prepared to have a head-on discussion with Xiang Lingying.

And relying on his eloquence developed from quarreling with his sister since childhood, he directly persuaded her to give up.

Do you understand what it means to be a good match?

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile. She felt confident that "the eldest lady versus the second lady, I have the advantage."

Qin Ruoshuang never thought that one day she would feel so satisfied with the identity of the second young lady of the Qin family.

"me……"

Putting down the bone stick in his hand, Xiang Lingying lowered his head and looked at the pieces of mutton that were tumbling in the alloy pot, his tone still hesitant.

But after hesitating for a long time, she still whispered under Qin Ruoshuang's silent gaze: "I like it!"

The reason why I was so hesitant and didn't say it out for a long time was not because Xiang Lingying was shy.

It's because the love education she once received from her head maid is "Don't reveal your feelings casually."

And now the reason why I still say it.

It was because Xiang Lingying's instinct as a woman told her that she had to start a serious discussion with the second daughter of the Qin family in front of her, who she barely had a relationship with!

"Yeah, but I feel like you and Zhang Liu don't match well in terms of class." Looking at Xiang Lingying, Qin Ruoshuang said in a firm tone: "Because you are the future heir of the Xiang family, and he is just an ordinary person. Boys!"

Chapter 4 Girls who want to eat but can’t open their mouths...

Qin Ruoshuang looked a little embarrassed.

Xiang Lingying wanted to subconsciously make movements with the fingers of his left and right hands to relieve the shyness in his heart.

But considering that her hands were full of juice from the lamb bone, she had no choice but to give up.

However, after a long silence, Xiang Lingying said in a very serious tone: "I will not be the future heir of the Xiang family, my child will be. Dad said that I am not suitable to take on the responsibility of the head of the family."

Qin Ruoshuang was dumbfounded by her words.

As the second young lady of the Qin family, she still has a certain understanding of social relations, so she knows it very well.

The news that Xiang Lingying told himself at this moment.

If it is said to the outside world.

In fact, it is the kind of "secret" that can affect the future of too many people.

The current head of the Xiang family is 43 years old.

Although it is still before the war, in another twenty years, he will be over 60 years old. By then, it is natural to think about the transfer of power and abdication.

According to common sense, all the handovers of the Xiang family's business and relationships will naturally fall on Xiang Lingying, the only daughter.

Therefore, when many families "bet" in advance, they usually have no other second choice.

Including the Qin family, their top priority is to establish a relationship with this person.

But now, Xiang Lingying directly said that the future heir to the Xiang family would be chosen among his own children.
