Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss

"What? You've only been out for a short while, and you're already so reluctant to leave me that you followed me here?"

Liu Wenying slung the composite bow behind her back and walked up to Jiang Che with cat-like steps. Her watery peach blossom eyes looked at him with a half-smile, her tone carrying undisguised coquettishness and teasing.

Faced with this blatant flirting, Jiang Che coughed lightly, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over her fair collarbone. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Who came looking for you? I came out to cut down trees and collect materials, and I just happened to see this wild boar. I didn't expect you to be faster than me."

"Really?" Liu Wenying leaned even closer, so close that Jiang Che could smell her faint fragrance. "Just now in the tree, I saw you staring at me so intently, I thought you came here specifically to protect me."

Jiang Che blushed. Although they had a deep conversation last night, he still felt somewhat overwhelmed by Liu Wenying's full-on charm and mature allure.

This is no longer the frail and unsteady Grandma Liu we knew; she's now an absolutely captivating enchantress!

"Ahem, I must say, your archery skills are truly impressive." Jiang Che quickly changed the subject, pointing to the dead mutated wild boar on the ground, "From that distance, an arrow pierced its eye. S-rank combat talent paired with this bow, simply amazing."

Seeing that Jiang Che was a little shy, Liu Wenying stopped pressing him.

She walked over to the wild boar, kicked its thick hide with her toe, and nodded with satisfaction: "This bow is really useful. With my enhanced strength and eyesight, hitting a willow leaf from a hundred paces is nothing. With this big wild boar, the food for our group of old ladies in the house is taken care of for the next few days. But this thing weighs at least three or four hundred pounds, I can't carry it back by myself."

"That's easy, just watch me."

Jiang Che stepped forward, waved his hand, and the enormous creature on the ground instantly disappeared, settling steadily into a corner of the dimensional space.

Liu Wenying watched Jiang Che's smooth and effortless movements, her eyes gleaming with admiration.

She stepped forward and, with remarkable ease, patted the wood chips off Jiang Che's clothes, her movements as gentle as a tender wife tidying her husband's clothes.

"Our Xiao Jiang is really capable. Not only can he build things and stockpile supplies, but his physical strength is also... amazing."

When Liu Wenying said the word "physical strength," she deliberately lowered her voice, drawing out the last syllable, and glanced at Jiang Che with seductive eyes.

Jiang Che felt a chill run down his spine. Just as he was about to retort, Liu Wenying turned around with a smile and strode towards the safe house.

"Let's go, we've been out for quite a while. Let's hurry and take this wild boar back so Grandma Li can cook us a good meal to help us recover!"

Looking at the slender, swaying waist in front of him, Jiang Che took a deep breath, shook his head helplessly, and quickly followed.

He discovered that on this perilous desert island, getting along with Liu Wenying might be a greater test of one's willpower than dealing with monsters.

The two returned to the safe house one after the other.

Pushing open the wooden door, the old ladies inside were all awake, chatting around the rice cooker. Seeing Jiang Che and Liu Wenying return safely, everyone's faces showed relieved smiles.

"Everyone, make way! Let's see what good stuff Xiao Jiang brought back for us!" Liu Wenying announced loudly as soon as she entered the room.

Everyone dispersed out of curiosity.

Jiang Che walked to the center of the room and made a thought.

"Bang!"

A mutated wild boar carcass, as large as a small hill, appeared instantly on the wooden floor of the cabin, its two pale white tusks looking particularly ferocious in the dim light.

"My goodness! What a huge wild boar!"

"This...this is the one you killed? Was he injured?"

Although the elderly women had experienced the wolf incident, they were still startled when they saw such a visually striking behemoth, exclaiming in surprise and pointing and whispering among themselves.

Jiang Che explained with a smile, "Don't be afraid, everyone, it's completely dead. Wen Yin shot it with a single arrow using a composite bow in the woods. I was just the laborer responsible for carrying it."

Upon hearing Jiang Che casually call out "Wen Yin," the surrounding grandmothers exchanged knowing glances, satisfied smiles spreading across their faces. It seemed their "strategy" from the previous night had been very successful; the relationship between the two young people had progressed rapidly.

"We have the meat, but this is such a big pig, skin and bones. How are we old folks going to handle it?" An old woman looked at the rough pigskin with a worried expression.

"Leave this to me!"

At this moment, a slightly plump, kind-looking old lady squeezed out from the crowd.

Jiang Che remembered her; she was Grandma Li from the team. Yesterday's panel showed that she had awakened an A-level talent in [Cooking and Decomposition].

Grandma Li stared at the wild boar on the ground, her eyes shining as if she had seen some rare treasure. She rubbed her hands together and said confidently, "My talent isn't just in cooking delicious food, but also in preparing ingredients. As long as you have a knife, leave this pig to me, and I guarantee I'll dissect it perfectly, without wasting a single bit of offal!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che immediately took out several ordinary daggers and kitchen knives from the newbie gift pack from his dimensional space and handed them to Grandma Li.

Afterwards, Jiang Che took out a huge plastic bucket from inside the house and filled it with clean water using a water purifier for everyone to wash.

The cabin immediately became lively. Although Grandma Li was old and not very strong, with the help of her A-level talent, once she held a knife, her method of handling food was simply artistic. The blade moved effortlessly between the pigskin and bones, like a master butcher carving up an ox.

Other grandmothers who were still physically capable, such as Grandma Zhang who had awakened the A-level [Gathering] talent, could not go out to cut down trees, but they still helped out by washing the cut pieces of meat with pure water.

With everyone having a clear division of labor, the originally lifeless refugee group actually managed to create a lively atmosphere reminiscent of slaughtering pigs and eating meat during a festival in the wooden huts on this deserted island.

While the grandmothers were processing the wild boar meat, Jiang Che didn't sit idle.

He went outside the cabin and brought up his building panel.

He now possessed an extremely rich stockpile of timber and stone. With a thought, Jiang Che selected the blueprints for the "Sturdy Wood and Stone Wall".

[Construct a 3-meter-high defensive wall around the current safe house, consuming 800 wood and 400 stone?]

"Construction confirmed!"

As Jiang Che issued his instructions.

A blinding white light flashed around the safe house.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, sharpened, thick logs rose from the ground and were arranged closely together. The bottoms and gaps between the logs were filled and reinforced with hard stones and soil.

In less than two minutes, a tall, thick, and reassuring wooden and stone wall completely surrounded the entire fifty-square-meter safe house.

Directly in front of the wall, there remains an extremely heavy double wooden door with a thick bolt behind it.

Standing inside the wall, looking at the tall defensive fortifications, Jiang Che's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down completely.

With this wall, even when they are asleep at night, ordinary wild beasts and level 1 monsters will absolutely not be able to sneak in silently.

This place can finally be considered a true "base" for establishing a foothold on a deserted island.
