Shane looked at the blisters on Sharon’s hand, his heart filled with admiration.

Just pulling off the tree vine made his hand hurt. He felt that a capable girl like Sharon who is willing to do tough jobs would be dazzling no matter where she went.

Dan held the fish cage Sharon had made in his hand and looked at it carefully.

He also praised, “You’re too strong. Is there anything you don’t know?”

Sharon looked at the rough little fish cage. Some parts of it were unevenly woven. If this kind of fish cage was sold on the market, it would definitely be defective goods that couldn’t be sold. She said in embarrassment, “It’s not well woven, but this can be used.”

[Sister Sharon is too humble. It’s already very good that she can make it up like this.]

[When Sharon sat on the ground weaving fish cages, I felt that her entire body was glowing.]

[Sharon can clearly rely on her looks, but she insists on relying on her abilities.]

Sharon made another small fish cage according to the same method. The two

fish cages were put together to form a simple fishing device. Then, she placed the earthworms in the fish cage as bait and it was done.

A few leaves with earthworms wrapped in it were coiled tightly by the grass rope, like small rice dumplings. Dan used a small wooden stick to poke a few more holes in the “rice dumplings”. This way, the smell would spread and facilitate the attraction of their prey.

Sharon placed the fish cage behind a large rock in the stream. The water here was relatively calm, and the fish would like to stay in such a place.

The previous fish trap had been destroyed, but with this fish cage, they could definitely obtain a stable source of protein.

Sharon placed a large rock in the fish cage to prevent it from being washed away by the water.

Sharon was very satisfied in her heart. She felt that as long as she was willing to try and persevere, she could rely on her own strength to do anything she wanted to do but felt that she couldn’t do it.

After a busy day, it was already dusk. The setting sun coated the forest with an orange light, revealing a hazy and dreamy beauty.

“Let’s go and fish out the cassava we soaked previously.” Sharon was very happy that she could finally eat some food that was more satiating. The few of them followed the stream for a distance and found the location of the cassava.

The color of the cassava had changed. It was edible now.

“How do we eat this cassava?” Melinda weighed the cassava in her hand. It was quite big, and this big fellow that looked like a sweet potato looked more filling.

“Do we boil or roast them?” Shane had never eaten cassava before, but it looked especially like a sweet potato. Shane suddenly felt a strong urge to eat roasted sweet potatoes.

“Did you eat roasted potatoes when you were young?” Melinda asked excitedly as she recalled her childhood.

“I’ve never eaten it before,” Shane said. He had grown up in the city when he was young. Although his living conditions were good, attending a lot of classes had caused him to lose a lot of the fun of his childhood.

“When I was young, my grandfather would often roast potatoes for me to eat in the winter. He would peel off the charred outer skin and the hot potatoes inside would taste amazing,” Melinda said as she felt herself drooling.

“I’ve never eaten roasted potatoes, but I remember that there was a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes at the entrance of the university. That young man sold peeled roasted sweet potatoes. That taste was simply amazing,” Sharon recalled. “The funniest thing was the banner at his stall—You got into university, and I got into sweet potatoes.”

“Hahahahahahaha, he’s too funny.” Dan’s laughing trigger was activated.

“I really want to eat roasted sweet potatoes,” Melinda said with a sigh.

“Don’t we have nectar today? We can pour nectar on the cassava. It should taste good too,” Sharon said as she patted Melinda’s shoulder. Although there was a lack of food in the wild, they could maximize the benefits of nature and use the abundant resources.

“I ate roasted sweet potatoes at my grandma’s house when I was young. It’s the taste of childhood,” Dan suggested. “Then let’s roast this cassava.”

“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s hurry back to the camp and eat roasted cassava tonight,” Sharon said excitedly.

After returning to the camp, Dan first used the flint to start a fire. He placed some dry firewood that he had picked up in advance to make the fire burn increasingly brighter..
