Chapter 863: Do It or Not
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoling was really tired. Her hands hurt terribly. She found a cliff cave, took grass, and so on. Her hands were too worn, and the more she rubbed them, the slower they became. The fire could not start at all.
She didn’t expect Wei Ling to, but when Wei Ling took the initiative to offer, she was stunned for a moment before handing over the two sticks.
It took a wooden block and a sharp stick, surrounded by some dry velvet grass.!!
If it was fast enough, with enough sparks, the fire could start.
Wei Ling had never done these things, but she watched for two hours. That was what Su Xiaoling did. She leaned against the stone wall blocked by the straw pole and began to rub it.
She had never thought that such a thing would be so difficult.
After just a while, her palm felt painful.
Wei Ling could feel Su Xiaoling looking at her. She gritted her teeth and continued to rub.
How many years had passed since Su Xiaoling’s bitter days? After living in luxury for so many years, her hands were as delicate as hers. Her hands should be blistered and might even be broken. If she could last for so long, why could she not?
Gradually, there was smoke. Wei Ling was overjoyed.
Seeing the sparks, Wei Ling was so excited that she almost cried.
The fire started. Su Xiaoling kept the fire and quickly ignited it.
With the fire, their vision lit up and they felt warm.
There was already a lot of dry wood in this small cliff cave. It should be enough for them to survive the night.
After the fire started, Su Xiaoling tidied up the snake. She removed its skin and threw it far away. Then, she pierced it with a stick and stuck it by the fire to roast.
She went to the side of the small cliff cave to cut the tree.
She had a small dagger.
The dagger was a gift from Uncle-Master Gui You. Everyone in the family had it, it was small and could be carried with them. Her hairpin was also Uncle-Master Gui You’s gift.
These were all given to her just in case.
It took effort to cut down the tree as thick as an arm, but for the safety of the night, it had to be cut.
Her hand hurt and her mental strength was a little overdrawn.
In this mountain, she was always vigilant.
After cutting this tree into a few pieces, Su Xiaoling was so tired that she did not want to move.
She also sat by the fire to rest.
She looked at her tattered hands and cut small pieces from her clothes to bandage them.
She burned the herbs to ashes and applied it to the tattered part of her palm before bandaging it.
Wei Ling was a little moved. Seeing that Su Xiaoling could not tie it up, she said, “Come here. I’ll help you tie it up.”
Su Xiaoling looked at Wei Ling and walked over.
After bandaging her hand, Su Xiaoling began to split the snake meat.
The snake meat was already cooked.
She gave half to Wei Ling.
Then she started eating herself.
Wei Ling looked at the grayish-black snake meat. She pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and took a bite.
Surprisingly, it didn’t taste bad.
Wei Ling was also a little surprised. There were no spices, but the fire was controlled well. It was actually very tender.
There was not much snake meat. She had been hungry for so long, but she did not feel full after eating this piece.
Su Xiaoling had already carried the snake bone back to the fire.
She said calmly, “Snake bones are edible too. Just roast them until they’re crispy.”
Wei Ling followed suit.
She was really too hungry.
The snake bone was burned and slowly turned yellow. Wei Ling paid attention to Su Xiaoling at all times. She quickly flipped when Su Xiaoling did.
Not long after, the crispy and fragrant snake bone could be eaten.
Wei Ling suddenly felt emotional. This was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten.
When had she ever made food herself? In the past, when she was still sweet with Zhou Zhao, she personally cooked for him, but it was actually made by servants. She only served it.
The most she did was to watch from the side.
But this snake bone was different. She had really roasted it herself.
After eating the snake bone, she was still hungry.
Su Xiaoling took out the grass roots and buried them in the flint.
Wei Ling looked regretful. This was sweet and edible. Why didn’t she want to eat it?
Su Xiaoling didn’t ask her. Wei Ling sighed secretly. She didn’t expect to be reduced to begging for a few grass roots to eat one day.
Su Xiaoling stirred the grass roots in the flint. When the grass roots passed by the flint, they also made a sizzling sound. There was a faint sweetness in the air.
Su Xiaoling dug out all the grass roots and gave half to Wei Ling. She said, “Eat it. This can fill your stomach when it’s cooked.”
With that, Su Xiaoling cleaned up herself.
It was the texture of the flour. There was very little sweetness.
Wei Ling watched as Su Xiaoling ate and ignored her. She also began to clean up. Su Xiaoling did not treat her as her mother-in-law, so she did not dare to have such extravagant hopes. Even now, she could not understand why Su Xiaoling would save her.
The two of them were especially quiet as they ate the grass roots.
The fire was warm. Su Xiaoling added some firewood and closed her eyes to rest.
The dry grass under her kept out the cold, and she slept peacefully.
Wei Ling looked at the grass roots. After cleaning them up, she kept some.
In her current state, it was better not to eat too much.
She pressed her legs, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.
It was dawn.
When Su Xiaoling woke up, her body hurt a little. It was the aftereffect of exhaustion and the bruises from her previous injuries.
Wei Ling had long woken up.
Su Xiaoling said, “Do you want to use the toilet? I’ll carry you there.”
Wei Ling looked embarrassed and nodded with difficulty.
Here, every day felt like a year. Su Xiaoling and she were not close. She was so embarrassed in front of Su Xiaoling, but she was helpless.
Su Xiaoling didn’t care about Wei Ling’s feelings at all. She didn’t mock or comfort her.
After preserving the fire, she brought Wei Ling to the toilet.
After sending Wei Ling back, she cut two small trees and said to Wei Ling,
“Mother, your mission today is to saw these two trees to the size I made yesterday. We need to use them tonight.”
Weilai looked at the finger-sized dagger and resisted. “I have never done these things…”
“You can learn it. It’s not like you haven’t seen how I did it yesterday. If I come back and you haven’t done it, don’t even think about eating the food I found.” Su Xiaoling’s cold words cut off Wei Ling’s thoughts.
Would Su Xiaoling really do that? Wei Ling believed that she really would because Su Xiaoling didn’t care about her at all previously. She left just like that. She didn’t care about any other possibilities.
“What if they find us today?”
Wei Ling spoke softly. It would be tiring to saw so many segments using such a small dagger. The people outside should be able to find them soon. It had been an entire day yesterday, so they might find them today.
“If Mother thinks so, then it’s up to you. However, if they don’t come, you can forget about eating for the entire day.”
With that, Su Xiaoling threw the dagger to Wei Ling and turned to leave.
She wouldn’t try to persuade Wei Ling. She only let Wei Ling make her own decisions. If Wei Ling didn’t want to do it, she wouldn’t eat the food she brought back. Anyway, they were not on good terms. There was no need to pretend to have a good relationship..
