Chapter 747: Preparing to Hunt
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The three of them spent an hour scouring the area for walnuts before returning to the camp.
Shane and Dan were sweating profusely as they worked under the scorching sun, but they were still holding on. At this moment, the height of the small house they were building was already around Dan’s waist. They could build another two layers and prepare to seal the roof.
“The two of you can sit down and rest for a while. I think it won’t be a problem to finish building the walls today. Tomorrow morning, we will go and collect wood and pile it on it. Then, lay wild grass and canvas for the tent. When the time comes, we can use the canvas for the door. Make it longer and at night, we can press it down with rocks so that it won’t be blown away.”
Sharon looked at the two of them. Their lips were already a little pale from overwork, but they still had no intention of stopping. She quickly picked up the coconut shell and poured two bowls of water for the two of them.
Shane finished the water Sharon handed him in one gulp and was about to continue working when Sharon grabbed his arm. “There’s no hurry. More haste less speed. Besides, this mission depends more on the two of you and if both of you are exhausted, we girls will have to do it later.”
Sharon said half-jokingly. Shane smiled in embarrassment, but he finally stopped to rest for a while.
Melinda quickly brought over a few washed fruits and handed them to the two of them. “Eat something first. Dinner will take a while. Sharon said that she’ll bring us to catch frogs and pheasants later.”
Dan stared at Melinda’s finger. He looked at the black circle and did not dare to reach out to take the fruit.
Melinda obviously noticed the latter’s gaze and wanted to retract her hand awkwardly, but the other party did not take the fruit, so she continued to hold it up. “This is the juice of the walnut skin. It’s not dirty, and it’s not poisonous.
Don’t worry.”
Dan was a little embarrassed. He actually didn’t have any intention of despising it. He was just curious why her hands became this state when they went out perfectly fine. Hence, he quickly took the fruit from Melinda’s hand and placed it in his mouth to take a bite. He used his actions to show that he didn’t despise it. “You actually found walnuts?”
“That’s right. Sharon brought us to find it. She refreshed my understanding of her again. She actually recognizes the walnut tree. Do you know? That walnut is wrapped in a layer of black stuff. If Sharon didn’t say it, I would have thought it was some rotten fruit.” At the mention of this, Melinda began to excitedly tell the two of them about their experience.
“Sharon, not bad. I realized that nothing can stump you.” After hearing this, Dan praised Sharon sincerely.
“I was lucky enough to see them before, so I recognized them.” Sharon smiled. “Besides, you guys are very amazing too. In the end, we still have to work hard together.”
Shane sat on the ground and finished the wild fruit in his hand. He asked
Sharon, “You’re going to catch frogs and pheasants later. Can you catch them?”
“It shouldn’t be a problem. I observed today and found traces of pheasants. If there’s a river on the mountain, frogs will appear. I can give both of you more food to replenish your strength.” Sharon told everyone the results of her observation on the road today.
As Dan ate the fruit in his hand, he asked vaguely, “Can you catch them? Pheasants and frogs shouldn’t be easy to catch. Don’t force yourself. These wild fruits and wild vegetables are quite delicious.”
The thought of letting a few weak little girls go out hunting made him feel uncomfortable. No matter how he looked at it, this was not something girls should do.
Sharon met their gazes and smiled. “Don’t worry, I have a way.”
Melinda was naturally curious about things like this. Sharon’s mysteriousness made her even more curious. “Tell me quickly, what is it?”
Looking at her curious face, Sharon wanted to tease her. “This is a secret. I can only tell you tonight.”
“You’re not a sorcerer, are you? Waiting until the dead of night to cast magic?” Melinda teased.
“You really think highly of me.” The few of them chatted for a while before returning to their work.
Sharon brought Melissa and Melinda to find some bird eggs and pheasant eggs in the forest and sent them back to the camp. When the sky was completely dark, she brought the two of them into the forest that they had gone to in the afternoon. At this moment, the construction work couldn’t continue, so the two men, who were especially curious about Sharon’s hunting method and worried about the girls entering the mountain alone at night, followed them into the forest too..
