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

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

The rain in the sky is still continuing at this moment, and has no tendency to get smaller at all.

Raindrops at least the size of mung beans continued to patter on the ground, making sounds on the trees.

Compared to the dry feeling inside the tree hole, everyone immediately felt the uncomfortable smell that could make people speechless when they walked outside.

"Well……"

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

What she hates most is this situation where three kilograms of water can be squeezed out of the air.

But hate it, you still have to deal with the most basic hygiene conditions.

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 still enough for Anya, Zhou Fang, and Gu Qingrou who came out later to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths.

When Anya walked out, Zhang Liu had already finished cleaning up.

He silently glanced at Gu Xixi, who looked slightly red but kept brushing his teeth seriously to show that he was not prepared to talk.

Then he turned around and walked into the tree hole to start preparing breakfast.

Behind Zhang Liu, Lan Yueting's expression was a little tangled.

Although I don't know why Gu Xixi left the bamboo tube for.

But she judged with a woman's intuition 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 lolita who were already envious and jealous of each other's breasts suddenly became a little irritable.

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

Gu Qingrou, who had tasted that feeling from Zhang Liu, now felt even more reluctant to let go.

While the girls started brushing their teeth with their own thoughts, Zhang Liu was also scratching his head and thinking about his breakfast arrangements and itinerary today.

Breakfast is pretty good.

There's no need to eat jerky in the morning, it's too greasy.

Just put the taro powder directly into the alloy pot that has been brought in and start stewing.

As for the itinerary.

Originally, he planned to go straight over to collect coffee cherries, and then return to the eight banyan trees to make coffee cherries.

The final result is that Zhou Fang and Lan Yueting will return tomorrow with coffee berries, while she and Anya Suyan will join forces to continue the subsequent forest exploration and egg acquisition.

But now Zhang Liu has a new idea.

That is, can we go to the coffee fruit tree first, and then walk north from the coffee fruit 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 the two labor forces of Teacher Zhou and Lan Yueting can be fully utilized to build Shelter No. [-].

The second benefit is that he can bring eggs as a birthday gift to Xiang Lingying who has not received a birthday gift.

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

While thinking about changes to the overall plan, he did not forget to stir the taro powder in the alloy pot with the branch in his hand.

When Anya and others came in, breakfast had been prepared and was just waiting to be eaten.

After a breakfast of taro flour paste.

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

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

Zhou Fang and Lan Yueting picked up the curtain cloth and hung it next to the fire to dry, so as to ensure the comfort of the two of them sleeping tonight.

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

Zhang Liu sat next to the book basket that Gu Xixi was carrying. While carefully checking the contents to confirm whether there were any traces of water leakage or moisture on the food, candles, tinder, and flints, he said, "Sister Xixi, please You took good care of Qingrou."

"Don't worry, I will take care of the eldest lady to be safe."

Gu Xixi glanced at Gu Qingrou beside her, then smiled and said.

Gu Qingrou didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

She liked the word "Qingrou" in Zhang Liu's mouth very much and was extremely happy.

After preparing everything, Gu Xixi set out with Gu Qingrou carrying a book basket.

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

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

Although there is a little less fresh water, everyone has already left bamboo tubes filled with fresh water in the "opening shelter" along the way for subsequent use.

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

"Hey……"

I sighed slightly and walked into the forest. Although I hadn't gone very far, I could even turn around and see the "landmark" of eight banyan trees in the rain.

But now Gu Xixi was really nervous.

Because the eldest 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 eldest daughter for the N+1 time.

Gu Qingrou suddenly asked in a low voice.

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

"Yes...yes!" There was silence for a few seconds, and then Gu Xixi admitted directly.

"call……"

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

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

Now, when she turned to look at Gu Xixi, Gu Qingrou's eyes were full of seriousness.

"Miss?" Gu Xixi asked in a low voice, feeling numb after being looked at by the other party's eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!" She shook her head vigorously to show that she was really fine. 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 was likely to spark conflicts between the two of them.

She quickly processed the news she received.

The eldest lady shook her head first, and when she shook her head, she stared directly at herself.

From the interpretation of body language, this means that the other party is currently taking the initiative.

Looking diagonally upward, you may be imagining a certain scene.

He didn't raise an eyebrow, which showed that there was nothing wrong with his mood.

The hands and arms are open, indicating that the mood is mainly welcoming.

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

"Sister Xixi" "that" "what?"

The combination of these three words cannot possibly mean someone who wants to provoke a conflict.

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

"Sister Xixi, are you still fighting with me?" Gu Xixi's prediction did not go beyond Gu Xixi's prediction. Although she was speaking in a tone similar to blaming, Gu Qingrou's eyes turned to the side in a standard way to divert the conversation.

This shows that the other party is not angry at all with this behavior...

"I'm not trying to compete with you, the eldest lady, but I'm preparing to compete with the head maid Xiang Wanying." She cleverly guided the enemy who should also be a headache for her eldest lady. Gu Xixi began to gradually grasp the rhythm of the conversation, and she didn't Forget to move forward slowly.

This is another way of Gu Xixi, she wants to take advantage of the fact that Gu Qingrou has to follow her footsteps to completely control the right to talk.

Although this is indeed a plot against his eldest lady, Gu Xixi, who has vaguely guessed why the other party has been depressed for so many days, wants to solve this problem at once!

At the same time, on the mountainside, Xiang Wanying, Xiang Lingying, Song Shuyao, Zhao Yiran and Little Leopard, these four people and one beast were gathered in Bamboo House No. [-].

They had finished breakfast and finished cleaning up the pig pen, sheep nest and rabbit house.

At present, everyone is preparing to come over to check the firing status of yesterday's bricks.

After a whole day of cooling, the originally burning earth kiln in Bamboo House No. [-] has entered a state of complete cooling.

Just turn it on and you'll be able to tell whether yesterday's hard work was worth it.

But right now, the girls all have hesitant looks on their faces.

Because they had no idea about the results of the brick firing this time, everyone was a little too daring to open the lid.

After all, if there is a situation such as the mud bricks being burned.

That means that the four people directly ruined everyone's work for a day.

Looking at each other, each one is so stressed at the moment and hoping that the other person can make some "unboxing" suggestions so they know the answer.

But everyone doesn’t want to have to say it himself…

"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, dry place to lie down obediently, just like avoiding the sun.

I haven't gotten back to sleep after being woken up this morning!

However, Little Leopard's actions also made the girls determined.

"Come here." With a coy voice, Xiang Wanying reached out to lift the little leopard, which had grown up 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 feel sore, the dark earthen kiln mouth was opened.

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

Standing on the edge of the earth kiln, looking at the dark and slightly red situation inside.

The girls' faces once again showed tangled expressions.

how to say.

Although I know that the most it contains is plant ash or charcoal, and no matter how dirty it is, it is just burnt bricks.

But they instinctively don't want to go down.

Because that will make you look like a "gray-headed" little cat in front of others.

"Let me go down!" When everyone was in a tangled state, Song Shuyao, who wanted to show off and gain acceptance from the team, was heartbroken, and then she whispered.

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

After squatting next to the earthen kiln, I checked with my hands that the temperature inside was okay.

Song Shuyao climbed down directly by pressing the edge.

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

This distance only reached her neck.
