Chapter 1121: 1121 Cliff Survival 6 Chapter 1121: 1121 Cliff Survival 6 She halted his actions, “Third Brother, you can’t do this.

It’s really too cold at night, and if you don’t wear an outer garment, you will certainly get sick.

I know you’re concerned for me, but taking care of your own health is equally important.”

Helpless, he could only hold her tight.

Resting her head on his thigh, she was indeed exhausted and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

When Su Qingyue woke up the next day, she was lying on her back and saw a small tent above her.

Upon closer inspection, it was a shelter constructed from firewood, supported by just two columns on one end and propped against the cliff on the other.

The roof of the shelter was covered with Yuchuan’s inner garment, on top of which lay some branches and tree leaves, and the shelter was put together using some of the vines she had collected yesterday.

The fire was burning right under the shelter.

Even though it was snowing now, Su Qingyue, sleeping beneath the shelter, wasn’t touched by the drifting snow.

“It’s snowing!” she exclaimed.

“It started snowing just before dawn,” he said.

“Seeing you asleep, I erected a simple little shelter.”

Right now, she was lying in his arms.

She must have been asleep while he built the shelter; she hadn’t noticed when he got up, a testament to how tired she was and how deeply she slept.

To prevent the fire from damaging the roof, the fire inside the shelter was kept small, also to conserve firewood.

Scarcely any snowflakes drifted into the shelter, thanks to its position against the cliff face and the angle of the falling snow.

However, some snowflakes still made it to the shelter, melting into water as the fire heated the roof.

He had angled the roof so that the water ran off to one side, dripping off the outside, not onto the fire but hitting the wooden raft on the periphery and then into the pool below.

The shelter was low, just over one meter in height, too low for a person to stand upright.

Stepping out of the shelter, Su Qingyue stood at the other end of the wooden raft outside, watching the heavy snow fall from the sky, disappearing traces as it hit the pool below.

The cliff walls around her were covered in a layer of white snow in many places, the branches and tree barks heavy with its weight.

The walls rose so high on all sides that the tops were invisible.

Surrounding the pool at the bottom, she had climbed dozens of meters up in search of firewood and still hadn’t seen the top.

The cliffs were at least a hundred meters high.

At dozens of meters, she barely managed to climb up by finding small protruding stones.

Looking higher up, there were no wall stones to graspaEUR”everything was smooth.

Unless one could fly, reaching the top seemed impossible.

And now, it had begun to snow.

Damn!

The first snow of winter in this place had to fall at such a time.

It was truly adding frost to the snow of her and Xiao Yuchuan’s predicament.

Under normal circumstances, she might have been in the mood to enjoy the snow, but now she just wanted to curse.

Looking at the weather, it seemed to be around ten o’clock in the morning.

She had slept soundly.

Glancing at Xiao Yuchuan who had also emerged from the shed, she noticed his eyes were bloodshot with fatigue.

Since yesterday, he hadn’t slept in a day and a night.

She said with concern, “Third Brother, you should sleep for a while.”

He shook his head, “I’m not tired.”

“Oh right, you need to take your medicine…” She reached into her pocket for the medicine bottle, but he said, “I’ve taken the medicine bottle from your pocket this morning and took the medicine myself.

I’m sorry, wife, I shouldn’t have done that without asking.

It’s just that you were sleeping so soundly; I didn’t want to wake you.

I also wanted my injury to heal earlier.”

“It’s okay,” Su Qingyue said indifferently.

“At times like these, we can’t be too formal.”

He wrapped his arms around her from behind, saying with sorrow, “Wife, it’s my fault that I have dragged you down.

If you hadn’t bothered with me and let me fall off the cliff, you would have been able to save yourself by jumping onto the flat ground above the cliff when the boulder broke away.”
