Chapter 429 - 429: Beast
Chen Wei’er was delighted. She subconsciously thought He Xun had woken up! She moved slightly and looked up along her arm.
In the end, Chen Wei’er saw He Xun’s tightly shut eyes. Then…what was breathing on her arm?
Chen Wei’er instantly woke up. She slowly raised her head and saw a white, fluffy ball.
She sat up and finally made out what it was. It was the little fox she and He Xun had saved that day!
“Why are you back?” Chen Wei’er knew that it was not a dream, nor was it a terrifying incident, so she was relieved. She patted the little fox’s head, and the little fox meekly rubbed against her hand. Then, it moved to the side with its long, sharp snout.
Chen Wei’er looked over and saw a pheasant that had been bitten to death! “Are you giving this to me?”
The little fox kissed her arm again, then turned around and ran out.
Before Chen Wei’er could say anything, the little fox was already at a distance. She suddenly felt a wave of warmth. This was simply a timely rain for her and He Xun!
Although He Xun might not be able to eat it, she could make soup. It could still be considered chicken soup without the rest of the ingredients. It could also replenish He Xun’s strength.
Chen Wei’er couldn’t care less. She carried the pheasant to the water in the cave and washed it.
But how did He Xun deal with the pheasant he caught last time?
She looked at the pheasant in her hand and was at a loss.
Chen Wei’er once again sighed at He Xun’s excellence. No matter what the situation was, he could guarantee her life and let her not have to worry about anything! At the thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes. She snuffled.
He Xun could let her live comfortably and let her feel at ease in dangerous situations! Chen Wei’er must compensate He Xun!
The young fox she saved knew how to repay a debt of gratitude, so she could not be inferior!
With such thoughts, Chen Wei’er was no longer in the mood to worry! The most important thing was to clean up the pheasant!
She remembered that plucking the feathers of a pheasant required scalding it with hot water…
With that in mind, she rolled up her pants and walked slowly into the hot spring water.
She carried the pheasant and probed around the spring. When she found the hottest spot, she soaked the pheasant in it.
Chen Wei’er didn’t know how long she had been soaking, but she felt that it was about time. She took out the pheasant and walked to the entrance of the cave.
It was indeed easy to pluck feathers after soaking the animal in hot water… However, she still had to take out its internal organs. She did not know where to start…
In the end, Chen Wei’er closed her eyes and made up her mind. She used a sharp stone to cut open the chicken’s stomach. She soon cleaned up the pheasant. Then, she put it into the pot and started a fire…
Chen Wei’er had never done these things before, but she was doing them now. This made Chen Wei’er somewhat satisfied! Especially when the fragrance of pheasant wafted from the pot!
She could finally do something for He Xun.
After the pheasant was cooked, Chen Wei’er quickly scooped the soup into a bowl. She carefully lifted He Xun’s head and fed him a bowl of soup.
Seeing that He Xun had drunk it, her worried heart gradually relaxed.
Chen Wei’er touched He Xun’s forehead. It was still scalding hot. The only thing she could do now was to use ice water to lower his temperature and pray that Ma Qiang and the others would find them soon.
After busying herself for half a day, Chen Wei’er finally had time to eat some pheasant. Although the taste was really terrible, she still ate a lot under extreme despair and fatigue. After she was exhausted, Chen Wei’er hugged He Xun and fell asleep.
The next morning, she heated up the remaining meat and soup, fed it to He Xun, and then went out to look for food again. She didn’t know when Ma Qiang and the others would find her, but in the meantime, she could only save herself.
While she still had strength, Chen Wei’er had to try her best to stock up on food!
She went to the place where she dug up the radishes last time, but this time, she only found two radishes.
Chen Wei’er carried the two radishes and walked around. She hoped she would be lucky.
Perhaps the heavens were watching over her, for she actually discovered a small river not far away!
Where there was a river, there must be fish! She didn’t care if she could catch it or not. This was a new hope for Chen Wei’er.
She quickly ran to the river, stood on the shore, and looked around for a suitable opportunity.
Perhaps it was because the area was immensely remote and there was less pollution, any river had clear waters.
After waiting for a while, Chen Wei’er saw a small fish the size of a palm!
She was too excited to care about anything else. She quickly took off her shoes, rolled up her pants, and carefully walked into the river. She bent over and stretched out her hands. She waited for the small fish to come in her direction.
However, just as Chen Wei’er was focused on the fish in the water, she suddenly heard the roar of a beast behind her..
