Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 474 The Retirement Life of a Down-on-His-Luck Tycoon 11

in the afternoon,

In the end, Vale did not go on the planned jungle hunting trip.

It wasn't that they were in a hurry to venture into the depths of the forest as soon as the weapons were produced.

However, during a recent reconnaissance, they discovered animal tracks in the jungle not far from the base. The footprints were dense and strange, making it difficult to identify the species at first glance, but it was clear that they had been looking at their base.

Through repeated surveillance and lurking, they have become targets of the unknown beasts.

Not long after the discovery, Wale and Xia Youmi worked together to identify the animal and could tell that there was only one. It was possible that it was a scout. If they couldn't handle it properly, it wouldn't be surprising if a whole group followed.

Taking the initiative not only nipps the threat in the bud, but also prepares the fur for winter.

but,

Given Xia Youmi's current state, her original intention to persuade Waler to continue making arrangements was merely to observe from a high vantage point, at least to ascertain whether there were any unusual changes or whether a trap needed to be activated.

They know

Without Xia Youmi's assistance, an attack would be impossible, but she didn't want to delay the progress of uncovering the truth.

Ultimately, due to the third severe spasm, Valer was unable to leave the base, leaving her alone. The original plan to manage to stitch up a few gray bandages also fell through.

"Hey!"

"Change somewhere."

When she felt the urge to feel unwell, Valer immediately carried her to his awning, which was closer to his armory and base supplies.

and,

Blood and energy easily attract unwanted attention.

In a situation where we must contend with external forces, simply placing the person in front of us is the more worry-free approach.

Even before lunch, Waler had cleared out half of his awning and divided the straw mat in two, so that even if one piece was destroyed, there would still be a spare.

After putting Xia Youmi down, Valer took back the half-dry school uniform trousers, wrapped them with new warm stones, and then tucked them into Xia Youmi's arms.

The girl, in pain, kept her eyes tightly closed, occasionally murmuring the names of her family members, her tears and sweat blurring her vision once again.

"Tsk."

"Smell it!" A bowl of fragrant balls was placed next to Xia Youmi by Valer. Perhaps having seen Xia Youmi sniffing her trench coat, he thought the scent could alleviate her discomfort.

After observing for two minutes and seeing that she didn't frown at the extra items, Valer returned to the shed where Xia Youmi had been resting, dragged out the bloodstained straw mat, soaked it in a rainwater puddle to wash it, put in a lot of deodorizing products, and finally exposed it to the sun in the ventilation opening on the beach.

then,

He cut off the hem of his vest, compared it with the gray strip, cut out the most conservative size, and sterilized it with boiling water.

The plates for holding dry ash, as well as the hemp thread used for the ash strips, were all stored together, which Valer could easily find. He placed them all near the spot where Xia Youmi was resting.

During breaks from work, we only replenished some dry food and didn't have time to cook. We made do with what was most important first.

Every year, Xia Youmi's mind is filled with jokes, all collected from multiple worlds, catering to their tastes, and still making them laugh even after they've seen them before.

Fortunately, Valé was focused on comparing the stitches, using his sharpened bamboo needles to sew hemp thread onto the cut vest fabric. If he stitched in the wrong place, there would be a gap, and the patched thread would look messy and rough.

Fortunately, apart from a slight setback at the very beginning, Valle's performance went smoothly afterward.

Because he was too focused, he failed to notice that Xia Youmi's whimpers contained not only pain but also an uncontrollable, insane laugh.

Every year, I would observe her condition closely, and when her body gradually calmed down and showed signs of sleepiness, I would adjust the mode in time and switch to the gentle channel of lulling her to sleep.

......

night,

Beside the fire, Valer piled dry clothes to keep them warm, while the semi-dry new ash belts were given priority to dry next to him.

My mind is unusually calm.

In fact, he may be unhappy about his plans being put on hold, but in the midst of being busy, and not busy according to his own plan, he also finds peace and tranquility.

The unknown threats of the jungle should have been more interesting to him; just thinking about what kind of beasts were waiting would excite him.

but,

Today, his attention was completely drawn to the kitten's playful antics.

Surprisingly, he didn't even spare a glance for the wild animals in the forest.

While Valer was sewing two new gray strips for disinfection, he filled the cloth that was to be used as a sample with new dry ash, tightened it with thread, and placed it in the awning for her to take when needed.

It really helped a lot.

Xia Youmi endured this round of pain, and was able to change into a new gray belt when she went to the toilet, which was a lifesaver. When she came back, she was able to fall back asleep and replenish her energy.

Midnight,

"Youmi, wake up."

"Ah."

Every year, I would wake Xia Youmi in my mind and show her what was happening in the forest.

Such chaotic and unusual sounds also alerted the alert Valer.

"Big brother... what is that...?"

Xia Youmi gently called to the people guarding outside the shed, not daring to make a loud noise.

"fine."

Valer got up and covered the rest of the fire.

The stars twinkled on the sea. Looking down from above, if you were too far away, the first thing you would probably see is not traces of human activity, but rather swaying trees and a jungle constantly being torn apart.

"Roar--"

"Woo——"

The voices were closer, yet still distant.

Valer laid out knives of varying lengths before him and wiped the short arrows on his hunting bow. Although unsuitable for long-range, precise shooting, their power was probably no less than that of long arrows.

Clearly, it was in the direction of the jungle, the direction from which they had previously discovered traces of wild animals.

More than one group of animals has been observed moving about, and roars have been heard, seemingly from more than one species.

Xia Youmi shivered as she put on her clothes that had been dried in the sun, making sure she wore the complete set.

If danger approaches, wearing only a trench coat is simply not suitable for fighting or escaping.

Valle, who had been shirtless all day, also needed an outer coat to provide him with proper protection. His trench coat was not made of simple material; in addition to basic wind and rain protection, it also had a certain degree of toughness to prevent punctures.

"Gloves."

"know."

Xia Youmi dressed herself up, tying her hair, which was only long enough to be tied up, high up. If you ignored her pale complexion, she looked every bit the capable fighter. She also had Valer bring them gloves to wear; these were now upgraded versions, with both half-palm and full-coverage gloves.

The exclusive shell blade also comes with a matching scabbard, which can be tied to the waist with hemp rope.

"Back basket".

"Ah."

Xia Youmi tried to conserve her energy, so she had to trouble Waler to carry things back and forth. Her basket was just as important as Waler's armory, filled with spare knives and food.

It's also waterproofed, so it'll be fine even if it's just drifting at sea for a short while.

Xia Youmi also put the two brand-new gray belts made from the Valer vest into the basket. The ones she had changed out of that night had already been washed and were now hanging empty by the fire, not yet fully dried, so they were just barely dripping wet.

Xia Youmi didn't put the rice in the basket to let the other food get damp, but instead hung it on the beam of the awning so she could discard it if necessary.

Besides these, the two also ate a few pieces of lightly flavored dry food.

After drinking some water, regardless of whether it was a wasted rest, they did not choose to relax.

Besides,

With Nian Nian's assistance, Xia Youmi can see images inside the jungle.

It was almost cruel.

An entire pack was hunting a ferocious leopard-like male beast.

The leopard was clearly strong, but it was being relentlessly attacked by the hyenas, and no matter how agile it was, it was at a disadvantage.

Based on the observation of the traces, the large leopard may have been the creature that had recently observed them.

Xia Youmi couldn't predict whether they would turn their attacks on the beach and invade the two-person base after they finished tearing them apart.

She has to protect the fact that she has to pause watching live every year.

Yet, they still frequently check on her every year, worried about her safety.

under the moonlight,

Wale and Xia Youmi were ready, their expressions more serious than ever before.

However, compared to Xia Youmi's somewhat strained performance, Waler was rather excited.

As the roar intensifies, the wiping motion slows down.

But careless,

But it can unleash even more killing intent.

Separated by a curtain, although their bodies were very close, almost back to back, their expressions, facing different directions, each revealed a sense of ease and mockery.

Xia Youmi appropriately portrays a fearful yet strong young girl.

For some reason, Waler cooperated like never before.

"Big brother, what if we get eaten by something?"

"will not."

"But now I'm useless. I can't even lift a knife. I'll only cause trouble for my brother."

"Ah."

"Brother, can I be buried with you? Or perhaps, scatter some in the sky and sea, and let the wind decide?"

"Can't die."

"But they are a group."

"Can't die."

"What if there is?"

"No, there's no 'what if'."

but,

Where did the leopard come from on the island?
