Chapter 156: Chapter 155 A Pile of Bones

If you don’t use enough force, you can’t get the feathers off; but if you use too much, you tear the skin and flesh apart, which is both disgusting and terrifying, not to mention it affects the taste.

As two mutes were expressing their affections by the coffin, Gu Youyou was left alone to pluck chicken feathers. She plucked them one by one, disdainfully tossing each one aside after pulling it out, and it took her half an hour just to pluck both wings of that wild chicken!

Finally, the two opposite her completed their emotional exchange and turned their heads to find that Gu Youyou still hadn’t finished plucking the chicken clean. The wild man uncle’s restlessness instantly flared up.

He strode over to Gu Youyou with a dark face, grabbed her arm, and forcefully threw her aside, causing Gu Youyou to cry out in pain.

I’m not a punching bag!

The wild man uncle glared fiercely at Gu Youyou, picked up the pitiful wild chicken, and strode towards the tomb entrance.

The entire process happened in one fluid motion, leaving Gu Youyou stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Did the wild man uncle get so mad that he went outside to eat alone?

Gu Youyou smiled at the man in the coffin and said, "I was thinking that you guys love chicken skin, and I was afraid of damaging it, so I was going a bit slower."

Obviously, the fool opposite her wouldn’t give her any response, just staring at her dumbfounded.

However, the wolf cub that might be put in the pot tomorrow was bravely, though limpingly, attempting to approach Gu Youyou.

Its cautious demeanor mirrored her own, didn’t it?

Perhaps it was a sense of shared suffering, but Gu Youyou felt a pang of pity. She sighed, crouched down, gestured to it, and whispered, "Come here, I’ll take a look at your leg!"

Sensing her goodwill, the wolf cub, after a few tentative attempts, indeed drew closer to Gu Youyou.

Gu Youyou smiled, gently stroking its head, just as she would pet the big dogs at her modern-day home.

The wolf cub gradually lowered its guard with Gu Youyou, rubbing purposefully and inadvertently into the palm of her hand, its pair of wet, amber eyes nearly brimming with tears.

Gu Youyou knew its leg was in pain and that it was scared!

Her heart softened, and she picked it up to examine the injured foot. Even if it was to be eaten tomorrow, it deserved to be treated well today!

The skin was torn, and the bones were somewhat misplaced, but it wasn’t too serious.

Setting the wolf cub down, Gu Youyou softly said to it, "I’m going to find something to stabilize your leg, so just sit here and don’t move. If you move, your leg will really become crippled."

It was unclear whether the little wolf cub understood her words or whether it was simply too tired to move, but it truly stayed put, without stirring. However, those amber eyes followed Gu Youyou’s movements as constantly as the man in the coffin did.

Perhaps the wolf cub saw Gu Youyou as a lifeline, fearing she would ignore it, so it kept its gaze fixed on her. As for why the man in the coffin was watching her, that was a mystery.

There were two ear chambers in the tomb, and Gu Youyou headed towards one of them, stepping down the stairs, only to discover several decaying corpses turned into white bones.

The sudden sight caught her off guard, and she instinctively let out a shriek.

As a doctor, she had seen her share of dead bodies and more.

But this was the first time she had come across a pile of bones.

It was unclear which of these skeletons was the original owner of the tomb, who ended up naked and discarded like trash here after having their coffin stolen by others.

While Gu Youyou was not superstitious, she also felt the two mutes outside had been somewhat indecent. After taking over someone’s resting place, the least they could have done was to dig a pit and bury these bones properly; didn’t the ancients value a peaceful resting place in the earth? Just leaving them here, what was that about!
