Hearing Lin Xiao's inquiry, Yu Xilin's expression darkened:
"I remember that I should have told you before. I am a concubine born from a concubine. Since ancient times, there have been differences between concubines and concubines. Naturally, I am not as well-received as my eldest brother and the others!"
"later."
Speaking of this, Yu Xilin paused and continued:
"Later, my eldest brother suddenly fell ill. Although his life was saved, his health was always in poor condition. Some people who wanted to be in power began to try every means to get rid of their opponents. Unfortunately, I was one of them."
After saying that, Yu Xilin sighed, with deep sadness in his eyes.
It turns out that Yu Xilin is also like a thin ice in the Yu family!
"Then have you ever thought about leaving the Yu family?"
Lin Xiao asked tentatively.
"Think about it, why don't you think about it? But what's the use of just thinking about it?"
Yu Xilin smiled bitterly:
"It is impossible to break away from the Yu clan. I am born as a Yu clan and die as a ghost of the Yu clan. This is my fate!"
"."
Lin Xiao shut her mouth silently.
"Okay, don't talk about me anymore, let's think about what to do with these wild boar meats!"
Yu Xilin laughed and changed the topic.
The giant wild boar they killed together was so big that they only ate one-fifth of it after devouring it.
The weather on this island is relatively hot. If you don't find a way to preserve the remaining wild boar meat, I'm afraid it won't take long before the meat will stink!
In order to prevent meat from spoiling in the hot season, the only way is to marinate it with salt.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao had an idea. She wanted to refine edible sea salt on the island to marinate wild boar meat!
As for how to extract this sea salt, it is not difficult for her.
She asked the craftsman to make her a clay pot and a clay funnel.
Immediately afterwards, she wrapped sea sand and charcoal in a clean piece of clothing to make a simple filter bag, filtered the seawater into concentrated brine, and finally roasted the concentrated brine into table salt.
Everyone was stunned by Lin Xiao's operation. They never thought that Lin Xiao would turn undrinkable seawater into table salt.
Their eyes were full of admiration. They felt that as long as Lin Xiao was around, they didn't need to worry about their livelihood.
Lin Xiao looked at the adoring eyes of a group of people and felt secretly happy. She said to them:
"Since we have decided to build a big ship on this island, during the period of building the big ship, our life must not be compromised. Only when our life is good will we have the motivation to work, so this
For a while, we have to reclaim wasteland and become self-sufficient!"
Lin Xiao's words were like giving everyone a shot of blood, and everyone's spirits were instantly lifted. Everyone was gearing up, eager to try, and eager to get into their new work right away.
"Okay, let's have a good rest tonight and start construction early tomorrow morning!"
Lin Xiao made the final decision.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly on the earth.
But everyone was already busy on the island.
Cut down trees, cultivate land, find ingredients for cooking, repair homes...
Everyone's body was covered with mud, and they looked miserable, but they didn't show the slightest hint of impatience.
Lin Xiao was not idle either. After finding a piece of land to plant sweet potatoes, she went to the forest to look for wild vegetables.
She plans to transplant wild vegetables so that they can also eat green vegetables.
Two months passed, and the sweet potatoes planted by Lin Xiao had already taken root and sprouted, and the wild vegetables had been eaten several times.
I have to say that this island is really a treasure land. The land is fertile and the resources are so rich that Lin Xiao is speechless.
"Don't make any noise and finish your work quickly! It's been two months and the prototype of the ship hasn't even been released yet. It's really outrageous!"
Lin Xiao sat under the shade of a tree, drank coconut water to enjoy the coolness, and shouted to everyone.
Her face was flushed from the sun, and there were beads of sweat hanging on her forehead, but she had no intention of leaving.
When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads and worked harder, not daring to slack off for a moment.
Lin Xiao sat for a while and felt bored, so she got up and went to collect other types of wild vegetables.
There are many different types of weeds on this island, and they grow so luxuriantly that you can't even see the edge at a glance.
I have to say that this island is really unique, even the wild flowers are much more colorful than those found in other places.
Lin Xiao walked among the clumps of grass and smelled the faint fragrance floating in the air, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort in her heart.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao heard footsteps.
She followed the sound and saw not far away, a black shadow jumped from the depths of the forest to the other end and disappeared in the blink of an eye!
If it weren't for a clear footprint left on the ground, Lin Xiao would have thought that the scene just now was just his imagination.
The speed of the black shadow was so fast that she didn't even see what he looked like.
After she frowned and pondered for a moment, she immediately returned to their base camp and told everyone about the matter.
After everyone heard Lin Xiao's description, they were all shocked!
They have been living on this island for two months, and there are other people besides them?!
This is really weird!
"Mr. Lin, are you sure what you saw is a human being?"
"Could it be a ghost?"
"Don't talk nonsense! If it's a ghost, I'd rather be a human!"
"I heard from an old man at home that there is a place where people like to eat people. Do you think the person Mr. Lin saw could be a cannibal?"
Several people began to whisper, and a few who were a little bolder still doubted whether what Lin Xiao saw was a person or something else.
Lin Xiao was not angry when faced with the doubts. She was now eager to know whether there really were anyone else besides them on this island!
"I want to check it out."
Lin Xiao looked at everyone and said seriously:
"If there is someone else on this island, then we have to figure out whether that person is an enemy or a friend."
As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, solemn expressions appeared on everyone's faces, and they all nodded in agreement.
Lin Xiao is right. If that man is really a man-eating monster, then they need to deal with him as soon as possible!
Lin Xiao took Yu Xilin and Ah Hai and walked quickly deep into the forest.
Not long after Lin Xiao and others left, a figure followed them. This figure was the dark figure Lin Xiao had encountered before.
The black shadow followed Lin Xiao and the others three to four feet away, quietly following them into the forest.
Lin Xiao and the others had been active in the part of the forest where they encountered wild boars.
The forest environment in another part is very complex, with thorns and vines everywhere.
These thorns and vines constantly block the view and can easily cause injury if accidentally touched.
If you are injured on a hot island and are not treated in time, it can easily lead to wound infection, which can be fatal in serious cases.
Therefore, today is their first time setting foot in another part of the forest.
