Irritation arose without reason.
Ever since she had met Flossie Wright, there had been an unusual alertness. Even to this day, though Flossie Wright had yet to do anything "bad", she still couldn’t shake off the wariness in her heart.
Flossie Wright...
What are you scheming by getting close to Sandy Cruz?
It took Flossie Wright five minutes to catch the second fish.
By comparison, Mariana Buck’s skills were slightly inferior; she was still staring at the fish swimming in deep water.
She didn’t pay them any attention.
Once she got back to shore, Flossie Wright put on her shoes and socks, dealt with the two fish, and followed the direction Sandy Cruz had come from.

It wasn’t long before she saw Sandy Cruz, who was cutting wood.
He was chopping pine trees, specifically longleaf pines, which contain up to eighty percent flammable resins and can easily catch fire even when soaked with rainwater.
They were ideal kindling material.
He had already felled two trees.
"Need help?"
Carrying the two fish, Flossie Wright squinted her eyes slightly, asking with interest.
This one, he had also almost chopped through.
"Not necessary."
Without lifting his head, Sandy Cruz continued to chop the tree with the Dagger in his hand.
The Dagger was small, and although sharp, it was somewhat problematic to chop a tree with a twenty-centimeter diameter.
Standing by his side, Flossie Wright asked again, "Really?"
Sandy Cruz’s movements paused for a moment.
With a sidelong glance, he caught sight of the two fish in her hands, the surprise in his eyes difficult to hide.
How long had it been?
Standing up, Sandy Cruz looked at her and suddenly asked, "Where is she?"
"Still catching fish."
Flossie Wright answered bluntly.
Sandy Cruz’s brow furrowed slightly.
"Fine," Flossie Wright tossed the fish on the ground, grabbed his arm, and gave a push in the direction they had come from, "Don’t say I haven’t been a help, now I’m giving you the chance, hurry along."
Sandy Cruz steadied himself, his grip on the Dagger tightening slightly.
Flossie Wright had already drawn her own Dagger.
"Don’t come back for half an hour."
Raising an eyebrow and saying this, Flossie Wright smiled with a raised corner of her mouth, spinning the drawn Dagger in her hand a few times.
She turned her head slightly, her smile bright and carefree, her relaxed demeanor so captivating that it was hard to look away.
Sandy Cruz’s gaze softened.
Having said those words, Flossie Wright now stood beside the pine tree, beginning to chop the one that was half cut through.
Soon after, Sandy Cruz turned and left.
Flossie Wright looked quite content with herself.
It took some time, but Flossie Wright chopped down the tree, then treated all three trees with her own Dagger.
While she was at leisure, she didn’t mind spending some extra time on it.
For each tree, she cut it into one- to two-meter sections, then chopped the round logs into pieces. When all the round wood had been chopped, what appeared were piles of firewood, stacked like pyramids.
When Sandy Cruz and Mariana Buck came by, they saw the stacks of firewood accumulating at the entrance of the cave.
It was as if they had been delivered from the Market.
Sandy Cruz frowned slightly.
He had always known Flossie Wright liked to play, but this was playing a bit too much.
Mariana Buck, on the other hand, was dumbfounded, not understanding what Flossie Wright was actually doing.
"Is the fire burning?" Sandy Cruz asked Flossie Wright.
Upon finishing the last piece, Flossie Wright lifted her eyes slightly to the sky.
As expected, it had darkened.
As Flossie Wright spoke, she tilted her head and glanced over at them.
Mariana Buck had a cool expression, her arms folded across her chest, regarding her indifferently.
Sandy Cruz stood to one side, holding a fish in his hand.
