Tang Chen only had a sharp blade in his hand.
It was enough to deal with a small wild boar, but against a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds, there was no chance of winning.
Therefore, he could only go back and prepare, then come back and fight this big wild boar.
“Whew…”
After the wild boar ran away, the actresses beside him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“My goodness, I was scared to death…”
Liu Shi Shi patted her chest and asked in shock, “Aren’t all wild boars only a few dozen pounds? How come there’s such a big wild boar here?”
“Yeah, this wild boar shook the ground as it ran, it’s scary!” Reba grabbed Tang Chen’s hand and discussed, “Captain, let’s not eat this braised pork, okay?”
“It’s okay, don’t be afraid!”
Seeing their nervous looks, Tang Chen shrugged and said, “A wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds is just as easy to deal with as one weighing a few dozen pounds, it's just a different method!”
He paused and said, “Besides, since there’s a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds here, that means there will also be wild boars weighing a few dozen pounds!”
“Captain’s right!” Yang Mi nodded, “It’s good that this big wild boar ran away, we’ll make our move when there are small wild boars.”
The feeling of the ground shaking had indeed terrified them.
If they really managed to hunt down such a big wild boar, it would be enough for them to eat for a month.
“Captain, should we continue exploring forward?”
Liu Tian Xian looked around and asked, walking forward.
“No need…” Tang Chen shook his head, “As long as we find signs of wild boars, that’s enough!”
After speaking, he pointed to the surrounding environment, “There are a lot of wild mushrooms here, everyone, go pick some wild mushrooms, we’ll have dumplings tonight!”
“Yes, Captain!”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.
In the jungle near them, there were many wild delicacies that had just sprouted.
Wild mushrooms were everywhere on the ground, every few steps, they could see different varieties.
“Huh, aren’t these the wild mushrooms we commonly see?”
After searching around for a while, they suddenly heard Yang Mi shout.
Everyone gathered around, and saw several colorful, different shaped mushrooms quietly growing on a patch of soil covered by dead leaves, emitting an enticing aroma.
“It’s really the type we used to eat!”
Liu Shi Shi, Liu Tian Xian and the others looked at them for a while, thoughtfully nodding their heads.
Yang Mi looked around, getting more and more surprised, she couldn’t help but look at Tang Chen, “Captain, there are way too many wild mushrooms here!”
“Yeah!” Liu Tian Xian nodded, “Captain, how do we tell which ones are poisonous and which ones aren’t? Some types of mushrooms should be inedible, right?”
“That’s right, many types of mushrooms are poisonous!”
Tang Chen nodded, telling them, “Poisonous mushrooms have brightly colored caps, while non-poisonous mushrooms have relatively plain colors, such as common coffee brown and pale purple.”
After speaking, he casually picked up a common wild mushroom from the ground and reminded them, “For safety’s sake, we only pick the wild mushrooms we are familiar with, and all other types are a no-go!”
“Yes, Captain!”
The actresses nodded and quickly began to search carefully.
Seeing their serious expressions, Tang Chen also squatted down and carefully identified the wild mushrooms on the ground.
You know, this was an unpolluted forest, filled with many precious mountain delicacies.
Just casually picking some would be enough for them to eat for three to five days.
Moreover, some of the wild mushrooms they couldn’t finish could be dried and stored, and used for soup later.
The jungle had rich wild mushroom resources, and not long after, everyone had their baskets full.
Tang Chen looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he quickly led the actresses back to camp.
…
When they arrived back at camp, it was almost dusk.
At this time, the setting sun’s afterglow shone on the camp, casting a mysterious and gentle veil over this deserted island.
Yang Mi, Liu Tian Xian and the others were already exhausted.
After placing their backpacks filled with mushrooms aside, they quickly leaned back against each other, sitting by the campfire, panting heavily.
Yang Mi was closest to Tang Chen, taking advantage of the others not paying attention, she quickly put her head on Tang Chen’s shoulder and looked at him with a smile.
Tang Chen turned his head and met her gaze, questioning, “How’s your foot, still hurting?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore…”
Yang Mi smiled brightly, her smile like a spring breeze, “Thank you for your concern, Captain, I’ll come to you on time tonight to change the bandage!”
“Okay!” Tang Chen nodded, looking at her with suspicion, “Really not hurting? You don’t have to hide it from me, we walked a lot this afternoon!”
Their feet already had injuries, and the uneven terrain in the jungle would further worsen the injuries.
“This…”
Yang Mi’s face turned red, she lowered her head and said, “Nothing can escape Captain’s eyes, actually… it still hurts a little, but it’s not too bad, I can hold on!”
“See, I told you so?” Tang Chen shrugged and said, “I told you to rest well in camp, you just wouldn’t listen, such a high-intensity jungle exploration, you definitely can’t handle it!”
“Captain, I know I was wrong…”
Yang Mi stuck out her tongue, “But I’ll still dare to do it next time! If there’s another situation like this, I’ll still go with you!”
“Go again?” Tang Chen smiled helplessly, “It seems you’re really not afraid of pain!”
“I’m afraid of pain, but I want to be by Captain’s side even more…” Yang Mi bit her lip, “Captain, I’d rather have my foot hurt than go on an adventure with you, I feel safer by your side!”
Yang Mi leaned on Tang Chen’s shoulder, her breath warm on his ear, making Tang Chen feel uneasy.
At this rate, Tang Chen really couldn’t guarantee that he could remain chaste.
If Yang Mi wanted to snuggle in his arms again tonight, he might really just take matters into his own hands.
“Captain, everyone picked so many wild mushrooms, are we going to dry them all?”
As Tang Chen and Yang Mi were talking, they suddenly saw Reba walking over with two backpacks.
They all picked a lot of wild mushrooms today, if they dried all the harvest in their backpacks, they probably wouldn’t be able to finish it in half a month.
