Actually, although cassavas were slightly poisonous, one could not eat more than one at a time. Moreover, the most correct way to eat cassava was to turn it into cassava flour. However, Zhou Ye didn't have the tools, so he could only make do with roasting it.
However, the roasted cassava was also very delicious.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Ye used his hand to feel the temperature of the cassavas. When he felt that it was no longer hot, he picked up a cassavas and tore open the charred skin to reveal the edible part inside.
He split half of the cassavas and gave it to Wukong. He smiled and said,
"Here, you can eat now. Don't worry, it's still very hot inside.”
However, before Zhou Ye could finish his sentence, Wu Kong snatched the cassavas from Zhou Ye's hand and took a bite.
Then, the anxious Wukong was scalded by the cassavas. He squeaked and jumped on the ground.
Although Wukong was scalded badly, he was reluctant to spit out the cassavas in his mouth.
The roasted cassavas tasted quite good. Wukong had always lived in the wild and had never eaten cooked food, so he had no resistance to such delicacies.
Having learned his lesson from the first time, no matter how gluttonous Wukong was, he patiently blew on the cassavas to cool them before eating them.
While blowing on the cassavas, Wukong quickly ate the cassavas. He was very busy.
Zhou Ye laughed out loud when he saw Wukong's funny expression. He ate his portion of cassavas and sighed.
"With you as my joy, my days in the future won't be too boring. The biggest enemy of survival on this deserted island isn't the danger or food in the wild, but loneliness.”
After all, humans were social animals. If they were not in contact with the outside world for a long time, the psychological pressure would gradually increase.
This was especially true when it came to survival in the wild. In order to solve the problem of survival, humans would invest all their energy into survival.
However, as time passed, many of the negative emotions that had been suppressed would surface.
With the increase of negative emotions and loneliness, if one could not adjust their emotions, it was easy to drive them crazy.
Zhou Ye knew very well what crazy things humans would do when they were in despair.
Human emotions were very unique. Sometimes they were unusually tough, and sometimes they were extremely fragile. Many people said that the collapse of an adult was often in a single thought.
Zhou Ye wanted to survive on the deserted island for three years. It was very important to relieve his emotions.
Now that Wukong was with him, Zhou Ye's chances of winning the grand prize would be greatly increased.
After tasting the delicious cassavas, Wukong quickly finished the cassavas in his hand and immediately went to get other cassavas.
With Wukong fighting with him to eat, Zhou Ye couldn't help but speed up his eating speed. He wanted to compete with Wukong to see who could eat faster.
A man's happiness was sometimes very simple, and sometimes very childish.
When they saw Zhou Ye and Wukong fighting over the cassavas childishly, the audience in the live streaming room was infected by the warm emotions of a human and a monkey.
"I'm so envious of the host. He has such a cute pet to accompany him.”
"Yeah, with Wukong's company, the streamer shouldn't feel lonely anymore.”
"Tsk, who can you blame? It was all the host's own doing. If the host had teamed up with others from the beginning, he would not be in such a depressed state now.”
"Shooter, get lost. The streamer is living a very comfortable life. It's much more comfortable than those team participants.”
"That's right, that's right. The other contestants can only drag the streamer down. What's the use of having them? It's not enough to cause trouble for the host."
"Speaking of dragging us down, Scarlet and Alice, the two sisters, are simply making me laugh to death. The two of them have all the tools, but they still haven't been able to start the fire.”
"It can't be, right? Living such a miserable life? I'm going to climb the wall. If the host has any new updates, remember to call me.”
Zhou Ye didn't know how many viewers he had attracted when he fought with Wukong for food.
At this moment, Zhou Ye looked at Wukong, who had turned black because of eating roasted cassavas. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wukong's comical appearance.
"Haha, you little glutton. Look at what you did. It's too dirty! He had golden fur all over his body, but now he had turned into a black monkey.”
While complaining about Wukong's clumsy appearance, he brought Wukong to the waterhole and got some water from it to clean Wukong's hair.
Although there was a shortage of fresh water, there was still water for Wukong to clean up.
Moreover, even if he ran out of water, Zhou Ye had other ways to get more water. Therefore, Zhou Ye didn't have the concept of saving water.
After cleaning up the dirt on Wukong's body, Zhou Ye started chopping wood again.
He worked until evening, and he had chopped about 200 catties of wood. With this wood and some thin branches for starting a fire, he could make at least 100 catties of charcoal.
After resting for a while, Zhou Ye picked up the rattan basket and walked towards the small mound where he found the soil yesterday.
If one wanted to make charcoal, clay was an essential material in the absence of a professional cellar.
When he arrived at the small mound, Zhou Ye quickly dug out a basket of clay. After he carried it back to the camp, Zhou Ye dug out another basket of clay.
At this moment, the sun had already started to set. Zhou Ye didn't dare to rest. He wanted to retrieve the fish cages by the sea while there was still some light.
"Wukong, come with me. We'll go and retrieve the fish cage. Whether or not tonight's dinner is sumptuous will depend on the fish cage's harvest.”
When Wukong heard that Zhou Ye wanted to bring him out, he immediately ran to Zhou Ye excitedly. He pulled Zhou Ye's clothes and ran out of the camp.
Zhou Ye looked at Wukong in amusement when he saw how anxious it was.
"Why are you so anxious? Do you know where the fish cage is? Besides, the fish cage was right there, and it wouldn't run away.”
"Squeak squeak…"
Wukong squeaked anxiously. Its bright eyes looked at Zhou Ye with great desire.
Zhou Ye consoled Wukong when he saw the longing in his eyes.
"Alright, alright. I know you're bored in the camp alone, but aren't you injured? When you recover, I'll bring you with me whenever I go out.”
Upon hearing Zhou Ye's promise, Wukong jumped happily. He hurriedly extended his injured arm in front of Zhou Ye and squeaked.
Zhou Ye patted Wukong's head and said with a smile when he saw Wukong's anxious look.
"How can your injury heal so quickly? Although your bones are not broken, it will take at least three days for the swelling to subside, so you should behave yourself for a few days.”
Hearing that he had to endure for a few more days, Wukong immediately became anxious. He scratched his ears and cheeks while squeaking.
"Of course this herb is effective. Why would I lie to you? Let me tell you, if I didn't use this herb to treat you, it would take at least a week for your injury to recover.”
When Zhou Ye heard Wu Kong questioning his treatment, he immediately retorted. Although he had never used cassavas leaves to treat his injuries, the herbal medicine of Chinese medicine wasn't undeserved.
