Shen Ruoyun is rarely impressed by someone's words, but today such a person appeared: Li Zhe.

A simple arrangement of a few words made Shen Ruojun's mouth turn from a small "o" to a large "O," and his silence was deafening.

"Then... your family must be a scholarly family, right?"

Li Zhe was meeting such a smart person for the first time, and excitedly grabbed Shen Ruojun's arm.

"Holy crap, bro, how did you guess that? Is it because I have the face of a highly educated intellectual?"

Upon hearing his words, Shen Ruoyun's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. She glanced at Li Zhe, thinking that some people always misjudge themselves.

"Uh... no, it's just that educated people wouldn't kill someone themselves."

Li Zhe: "???" What does that mean? I don't quite understand.

Looking at his expression, Shen Ruoyun suddenly felt a little insecure. "Is your family really a scholarly family?"

When Li Zhe heard Shen Ruoyun mention this, his face was full of a proud little expression.

"That's definitely true. My parents, grandparents, maternal grandparents, and all my uncles and aunts are basically Ivy League graduates."

Shen Ruoyun thought to herself that this family was indeed quite powerful. She reached out and cut a vine to get some water, and casually asked, "That's really impressive. Are you one too?"

"No, I have a college diploma."

"Pfft—" Shen Ruoyun couldn't help but choke on his words, "Cough cough cough!!!"

Li Zhe knew he would react this way; he had heard far too many rumors and gossip over the years.

Back when he worked day and night to get into a junior college, his father took him to get a paternity test that very day.

Unfortunately, he really is his father's biological son.

Despite failing his college entrance exam, Li Zhe wasn't upset at all. Instead, he had to comfort his parents, telling them to take it easy and not to value fame and fortune too much.

Shen Ruoyun suddenly felt that this person was quite remarkable. To be able to thrive in that kind of environment was a mindset that not everyone could cultivate.

With that thought in mind, and having rested enough, Shen Ruoyun decided to find a shelter as soon as possible and also get some food.

When Li Zhe saw him get up, he quickly got up as well.

"What's wrong with your foot?" Shen Ruoyun asked with concern when she saw Yi walking with a limp.

"Oh... I just tripped over a vine yesterday and fell flat on my face. It's nothing." Li Zhe waved his hand dismissively.

Shen Ruoyun stopped, squatted down to examine her, and said, "It's better to take a look, otherwise it might get more troublesome if it gets serious."

Li Zhe immediately stretched out his foot; his body was covered in wounds of various sizes, and he was filthy.

"Luckily it's just a minor sprain. With some rest, it should be fine." Shen Ruoyun said as she helped Li Zhe remove the leeches that were sucking blood from his foot.

He turned around, found some herbs nearby to stop the bleeding, chewed them, and applied them to the wound.

Li Zhe was completely unaware that something was sucking his blood, and he was slow to realize what was happening.

If Shen Ruojun hadn't discovered it, he probably would have been in serious trouble.

At this moment, his admiration for Shen Ruoyun reached its peak, and he immediately recognized Shen Ruoyun as his elder brother, vowing to follow him for life.

Shen Ruoyun recruited a henchman and then found a new place nearby to build a shelter.

"We need to set up the shelter quickly, or it will be bad if it gets dark. I'll go put a fish trap first."

Shen Ruoyun fixed two long sticks between two trees and told Li Zhe how to build the shelter.

The two of them must divide the work; otherwise, one person alone cannot complete the task.

Li Zhe may be a little slow-witted, but he is quite capable of taking action.

In short, he's not very capable, but he's very hardworking.

Shen Ruojun then wove several more fishing traps and put them into the nearby stream.

After confirming that there were no problems, he turned around and went into the nearby woods to look for something to eat.

The trees were tall and the forest was dense, so the sunlight could hardly penetrate. Fortunately, Shen Ruojun had good eyesight. If Lin Yanshu hadn't brought his glasses, he probably wouldn't have even noticed that he had fallen into the pit.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyun suddenly started laughing for no apparent reason.

The two cameramen were suddenly a little confused. There was nothing to eat, so what were they laughing about?

However, the smile on Shen Ruoyun's face suddenly froze, as if she had seen something extraordinary.

The two cameramen, confused, followed his gaze and instantly froze.

.....

“We have contacted the police. In this situation, they should contact the victim’s family, and the body will be taken back.” The director patted Shen Ruoyun on the shoulder to comfort her.

Shen Ruoyun glanced at the pile of tattered clothes on the ground; the corpse appeared to be an adult male.

There was also a filming device and a backpack nearby, which looked like it was for an adventure, or maybe it belonged to a blogger.

The body was skeletal but still relatively intact, suggesting it wasn't attacked by a wild animal; there were still many insects crawling on the bones.

The director found a blanket and carefully covered the body. Shen Ruoyun bowed to the body and then left.

This situation is not uncommon. In the rainforest, regardless of the climate or environment, dangers are everywhere. If you are not careful, you may lose your life.

That stark white skeleton seemed to serve as a warning from this dense forest: do not easily provoke nature, but learn to respect it.

Shen Ruoyun returned to the stream. The current was stronger there, so the fish were bigger and more plentiful. Shen Ruoyun's haul this time was quite good.

After bringing the fish ashore, Shen Ruoyun cut some bamboo sections nearby, drilled holes on both sides, threaded soft vines through them, filled them with water, and hung them directly around her neck.

The fishing basket was put back into the stream, and on the way back, some fresh wood ear mushrooms were found on the rotten wood.

"Try not to eat fresh wood ear mushrooms, as they contain a component called porphyrin."

When a person consumes fresh wood ear mushrooms, porphyrins enter the human bloodstream.

If the skin happens to be exposed to sunlight and ultraviolet radiation, porphyrins will undergo a photochemical reaction, which will damage skin cells.

The skin is likely to become itchy and swollen, and may even develop blisters or ulcers.

This phenomenon is called "phytophotodermatitis," so try to dry the food in the sun, blanch it, and then eat it.

However, my quantity is very small, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

In short, I'm not afraid to die.

After harvesting the wood ear mushrooms, we headed straight for the shelter.

When Shen Ruoyun returned to the shelter with food, Li Zhe had already built most of it according to the method he had taught her.

Although the design is a bit ugly, it still has the basic functions.
