Time passed very quickly, and seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

On a sunny afternoon, Lu Ye was sitting on the beach, holding a fishing rod in his hand, bored.

He originally wanted to stay in the house and sleep today.

But Violet insisted on pestering him, and he couldn't do anything.

The reason is simple.

Violet no longer wants to eat mutton.

In the past seven days, there have been eight fewer sheep in the sheepfold. Everyone has to eat an average of more than one sheep every day.

This doesn't seem like much at all. With so many people, eating one sheep every day is simply not enough!

It seems that these soldiers are quite friendly and know how to save sheep for Lu Ye...

But the real situation is that after the novelty of slaughtering sheep wore off, those soldiers were no longer interested in mutton.

The reason is simple.

Not many of those soldiers can cook well, and their skills are not as good as Lu Ye!

In fact, they slaughtered two sheep on the first day. In the following days, the mutton was used as side dishes, and the staple food was still canned food with good sealing.

Lu Ye was too lazy to care.

Both he and Violet occasionally kill a sheep to eat. Such a life of joy in hardship will make the happiness reach its peak the moment they eat roast lamb...

Well, actually if he was slaughtered like this every day, just cleaning the meat and fur would be tiring enough, and he couldn't stand it.

Lu Ye also asked Ye Zhou and Hawkins, are there no cooks or cooks among you?

Hawkins said that there was actually one, but it had fallen into the sea and drowned before.

After saying that, there was still a bit of sadness on his face, but it didn't seem to be out of condolences for the cook...

From this point of view, if the chef with good cooking skills was here, Lu Ye estimated that those soldiers could kill all the sheep in the sheepfold!

But he didn't care.

We have to leave here anyway, these sheep are useless, just do as you like!

But if possible, he would like to leave some sheep for the two bears.

Tomorrow the repair work on the ship will be completed and I will leave the island.

But what to do after leaving the island?

Although the mission is to retrieve the fragments of the stars, I only have some vague clues and am not sure yet.

Luye looked towards the beach.

Violet was squatting on the gravel beach looking for shrimps and crabs, and the white foamy waves washed over her white and pink feet.

Lu Ye was speechless.

I had a lot of fun there alone.

Obviously you want to eat fish, so I came to catch it...

"It's very leisurely." came the hoarse old voice.

Osinlid sat down next to Luye and looked at the sea under the blue sky.

It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful ocean can have rough and violent moments.

Lu Ye recalled that more than two months ago, when he was standing on the top of the mountain searching for a ship, he looked at the sea and saw black waves everywhere, as if they were about to swallow everything.

"Yeah, I'm tired of eating mutton these days, and I want to eat some fish tonight..."

"You are leaving tomorrow, why don't you prepare your luggage?"

"What can be prepared here?" Lu Ye said, "Just stay here. Maybe you can come back to play some time in the future?"

"Come back for fun?" the colonel smiled.

"Yes, I have lived in the city for a long time, and sometimes I want to go to a quiet place to stay for a while."

Osinlid looked around: "Didn't you get your wish?"

"Yes, there are mountains, water and beautiful scenery here, but after staying here for a long time, I still miss human society." Lu Ye said, "Maybe I am not a person who likes purity or excitement, I just live in the same place.

I just can’t live here... maybe I will come here to retire here in the future.”

"Then this would be a good place to go," the colonel said, "provided someone can take you back."

"Yes, my mother often said that if a person wanders outside for a lifetime, no matter how he wanders around, he will eventually come back."

At this time, Lu Ye noticed that the fishing rod in his hand moved.

Coming!

He quickly pulled on it, raised the hook, and then reeled in the line.

But unfortunately, it is a small fish.

But Violet didn't care so much. The moment the fish caught, she was already in front of Lu Ye.

"fish!"

"Don't take it, don't take it," Lu Ye said.

Although she was confused, Violet was very obedient.

She tilted her head slightly, and her golden hair flowed down from her ears, extremely smooth, like the molten gold that flowed down when the ancient emperor built a magnificent palace.

"Can't eat it?" she asked.

"Well, because it is too small, it needs to be released."

"Why release the animals?"

"Because if it is not released, it will not grow big and reproduce more fish."

Violet was thoughtful.

"Then can we use half to eat and half to release?"

"..."

Lu Ye was speechless now.

He took the small fish off the hook and threw it back into the sea.

"Are you speaking Oriental?" Osinlid asked.

"Ah, yes...she asked me why I released the fry."

"Then what did you say?"

"What should I say?"

Lu Ye hung up the bait and prepared to continue casting the hook.

"How about I give it a try?" the colonel said.

Lu Ye was stunned.

"Okay, the colonel can also fish."

"That was before joining the army." The colonel took the fishing rod and pulled the line. "I used to live in a remote village and often fished with my companions. We also have our own dialect, or dialect. Do you want to hear it?"

"Please." Lu Yexin said that I couldn't understand it anyway.

The colonel lowered the brim of his hat and spoke a short and strange language that Luye didn't know.

Lu Ye can be sure that this is definitely not a variant of Western language.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Victory." The colonel smiled.

"Victory?" Lu Ye didn't understand why he said this.

After he finished saying this, Violet turned her head and looked at him, with some curiosity in her eyes.

This was the first time she looked at someone other than Lu Ye.

"Isn't it natural for soldiers to desire victory?" the colonel said.

"Yes, fighting must be very hard, right?"

"Hard work is secondary, victory is the most important. Winning means life, losing means death. Nothing is more important than survival, right?"

"Indeed, compared to surviving, hard work is nothing." Lu Ye muttered.

When I first came to this island, I was exhausted just to survive.

"Young man, let me ask you a question." The colonel looked at the blue sea. "If sacrificing one or two people can end the war faster, what would you do?"

"The one or two people you are talking about who are about to die, do you mean the leaders of both sides who started the war?" Lu Ye stared at him sideways.

"This is casual. I want to see what values ​​people living in a peaceful world would have."

"This is up to me, and it's not up to me."
