Chapter 161: Not Even a Mouse!

With Xiao Yi's return, the vicinity of his camp returned to peace; perhaps there was still slaughter and hunting in the shadows, but here at Xiao Yi's, it was all peace and harmony.

Xiao Yi had originally planned many times to feed the two bears and send Heidan and Gou Dan off to hibernate once his injuries healed.

After returning today, Xiao Yi pondered again—should he really do that?

Although Xiao Yi hadn't fully recovered yet, he was mostly better and had no obstacles to movement.

However, the big brown bear currently in the vicinity was a thorn in Xiao Yi's side, and in the end, he had to temporarily abandon that idea.

After all, facing a brown bear alone—Xiao Yi wasn't afraid, but he didn't want to; it would increase his chances of getting injured.

With the existence of the two bears, Heidan and Gou Dan, they could help him stand at the very front, allowing Xiao Yi to just sneak attack and smash them with a club.

Of course, there was another reason: Xiao Yi had somewhat underestimated the madness of this wilderness.

After all, even that cougar, which was so afraid of Xiao Yi, dared to eye his food because of hunger; other guys would probably be even crazier.

Furthermore, the most dead-silent and icy moment of this wilderness hadn't arrived yet; that time might also be the bloodiest time on this wilderness.

Having two bears watching the house could indeed help Xiao Yi solve at least ninety percent of the troubles in this wilderness.

So much so that Xiao Yi was now a bit reluctant to let them leave to hibernate.

Let's just kill that big brown bear first! It can only be said that plans can't keep up with changes!

The night passed without incident, and the next day the sun rose as usual; Xiao Yi woke up early for a change today.

It was mainly because of that little lynx!

Maybe it had eaten something bad, or maybe it was some other reason; in any case, it had been making a fuss in the log cabin all night and only fell into a quiet sleep near dawn.

It had been so noisy that Xiao Yi hadn't slept well all night, and Xiao Yi didn't have any good way to deal with the little lynx's illness.

After all, this was the wilderness, and Xiao Yi wasn't a veterinarian; being able to treat Heidan was just a case of a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

However, seeing the little thing quiet down, Xiao Yi soon caught up on some sleep.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

But not long after he fell asleep, it became noisy outside again; the two bears were roaring constantly.

Xiao Yi hurried to get up, picked up a wooden stick, and walked outside, thinking that some blind guy had come to cause trouble again.

But who knew that after going outside, there were no intruders; the two bears were just roaring for no reason.

Looking at the rising sun, Xiao Yi naturally knew what was up with the two bears!

It had been a while past their mealtime, and clearly, they were hungry now, which was why they ran over to shout for Xiao Yi to feed them.

Now that they were hanging out with Xiao Yi, the two bears' feeding times were basically fixed.

Xiao Yi then untied two strings of hanging fish meat and threw them directly toward the two bears.

Although he was a bit unhappy that the two bears had disturbed his sleep, it was indeed his own oversight, so Xiao Yi wasn't overly angry.

Although Xiao Yi was sometimes irritable and petty, an emperor doesn't starve his soldiers; Xiao Yi had never been stingy regarding the food issues of his two bear henchmen.

Unless the two bears made a mistake on their own, in which case Xiao Yi would punish them and not feed them.

But looking at the dwindling food, Xiao Yi felt a headache coming on.

He had originally thought the five or six hundred jin of fish meat he had stored would be enough, but now it seemed it wouldn't last at all!

Unless he sent these two clumsy bears away right now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi no longer felt sleepy; he simply roasted some meat, ate it, and then looked at the two bears and said.

"We're going out again today to find the tracks of that big brown bear, and at the same time, we'll get some more food. Same old rule: one of you two stays to watch the house."

"Roar!"

Hearing this, Heidan roared excitedly; it had been bored to death in the camp yesterday.

However, Heidan then looked cautiously toward Gou Dan.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yi rolled his eyes; sure enough, this clumsy bear had such deep psychological trauma from Gou Dan that it might never get rid of it in its lifetime.

As for Gou Dan, it also noticed Heidan's gaze and didn't make a sound, which counted as tacitly agreeing to watch the house today.

Yesterday, it had been depressed and wanted to go out to find the big brown bear to vent its revenge; after all, Gou Dan had the same petty nature as Xiao Yi.

But after bumping into that group of unlucky wolves and venting on them, Gou Dan's obsession with revenge wasn't as deep now.

So it returned to its nature—isn't it nice to be warm in the nest? Why go out and freeze for no reason?

"Roar!"

Seeing that Gou Dan didn't object this time, Heidan was even more overjoyed.

"Alright then, Heidan comes with me, Gou Dan watches the house!"

Xiao Yi said, then led Heidan away from the camp.

After Xiao Yi left, he realized: leaving Gou Dan to watch the house—would the little lynx and Huang Mao be okay?

As long as they didn't go out the log cabin door, the two little guys should be fine! Without Xiao Yi's permission, Gou Dan wouldn't dare to barge into the log cabin.

Hopefully, the two little guys wouldn't be stupid enough to go out on their own today, otherwise...

Leaving the shelter at almost the same time as Xiao Yi was Liu Hong from Broadcast Room No. 8.

She also chose to go out early in the morning.

Unlike Xiao Yi's leisurely tracking of the big brown bear, Liu Hong's main goal this time was to find food.

After this sister took a bath and died—causing herself to catch a cold—she had been so scared that she huddled in the shelter for five or six days before daring to go out again.

Although the cold was better now, she had also been out of food for two days.

If she didn't have food today, she might really have to consider whether to choose to go home from this program.

"Oh! Friends, look at what's there? A cute mouse. Although I usually hate mice, seeing its figure here now makes me feel it's very cute. If this arrow can really hit it, I think I'll ultimately choose to eat it."

Not long after Liu Hong left the camp, she had some new discoveries, but this discovery made her feel conflicted.

Liu Hong was very decisive; an arrow flew out, and then... the mouse ran away.

Liu Hong: "......"

Audience: "......"

Seeing this scene, many people in Liu Hong's broadcast room burst into laughter.

"I was originally going to advise my Sister Hong not to eat the mouse, but who knew my Sister Hong's arrow didn't even hit the mouse."

"Haha, same, same. I had already typed out words like 'mice carry viruses and pathogens' and was just waiting to send the barrage to advise Sister Hong, but who knew Sister Hong would make me worry for nothing."

"Friends, does anyone want to bet on whether my Sister Hong can eat a full meal today?"

"I bet my Sister Hong won't be able to eat!"

"Who said that? I think Sister Hong can at least have some harvest today!"

"Sister Hong's physical condition looks very poor right now; I don't know how much longer she can hold on!"

"At the very least, she has to hold on for five more days! After all, the prize money for passing sixty days is much more generous than fifty days."

"Hope so! If Sister Hong still can't harvest food today, she might not make it tomorrow."

Although the audience was joking, Liu Hong herself didn't care.

Instead, she was in the mood to joke toward the broadcast room.

"Heaven knows I don't like eating mice; it looks like Heaven has already helped me decide that I don't need to eat mice today. I hope I can have a good harvest in a while."

After saying this, Liu Hong continued to search!
