He had no choice but to listen to her.

She reached out with two fingers to feel his pulse, carefully taking his pulse and a hint of a smile appeared on her lips, “Look on the bright side, I was with you yesterday soaking in the cold pool water, wearing wet clothes for so long, and yet I didn’t catch a cold.

That’s quite lucky.”

He gently caressed her tender cheek, “Luck accounts for half of it, but our good health also plays a part.”

“Mmm.” She stood foolishly with him on the wooden raft, as if they were sitting in a small shed warming themselves by the fire, “Third brother, your injury has gotten a bit better.”

“The medicine my wife prepared is especially effective.” He looked at her exquisitely beautiful features, “Dear, you are truly a talent.

If you were to perish like this, even the heavens would be heartbroken.”

She slightly lifted her chin, “That’s right.

But sitting like this won’t do, I want to climb the cliff to gather firewood…”

“I’ll go.” He volunteered eagerly.

She pulled him back, not allowing him, “You’re injured, you’re not allowed…”

Both of them refused to let the other climb the slippery cliff wall because it continued to snow, making the cliff too slippery and easy to fall from.

Anyway, she gathered extra firewood yesterday, and he conserved it when burning, so there should be enough to last another night.

So, neither of them went to gather firewood.

The snow kept falling intermittently.

Su Qingyue’s gaze often searched the lake surface, hoping to see a fish swim by.

When evening came, a fish indeed swam by, and she immediately picked up the long pole fork she had used to pick flintstones yesterday.

The pole fork was more than two meters long, and the wooden raft on which she stood was just over one meter above the surface of the pool.

As the fish swam close enough to be reached by the stick, she took the top of the stick, extending the pole fork and plunged it into the pool.

The fish, which was about to swim away, was speared squarely.

In the past when the Xiao Family was poor, Su Qingyue had speared countless fish, so her technique and strength were naturally precise and unmatched.

Lifting the stick towards the sky, she then grasped the stick and shifted it downwards bit by bit, a method to retrieve the fish to prevent it from flipping back into the pool in its dying struggle.

Having caught the fish, Su Qingyue was delighted, “I estimate it weighs about three jin.

Third brother, we’re in for a full meal.”

“Three jin and two taels.” Xiao Yuchuan provided a more accurate figure.

“I forgot that you’re a vendor, spot on with assessing weights using a balance rod,” she said with a laugh.

“Too bad there’s no scale; otherwise, I would really want to weigh this fish.”

Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes brightened at the sight of the plump fish.

Both of them had been hungry all day, stomachs aching with hunger.

Catching a fish naturally brought them joy.

Looking at her happy eyes, his heart felt a sour pang.

He took the fish from her hands, “Dear, I’ll grill it.”

“Okay.” She nodded.

He took the stone knife he’d prepared earlier for cutting meat and descaled the fish, then opened its belly, removing the intestines and internal organs.

He didn’t throw them away, but placed them beside the fire.

After they finished eating the fish, if they were still extremely hungry, even if the fish intestines were distasteful, they could still roast and eat them, which was better than going hungry.

He skewered the fish with a stick and grilled it over the fire.

The fire was small, but Su Qingyue, excited that they had food, added two more sticks to the fire to intensify the heat.

Using an extra couple of sticks hurt, as firewood was limited.

To gather firewood, one had to climb high on the sheer cliff, which was no easy feat, risking one’s life for it.

Starving, Su Qingyue watched the fish grilling and almost drooled, “Third brother, perhaps we won’t die.

The fire hasn’t gone out, and now it’s mostly green wood, burning with heavy smoke.

Maybe second brother will come looking for us if we don’t return.

If he sees the smoke from the top of the cliff, he may guess we’re at the bottom.

No matter how high the cliff, they could tie a long rope and lower it to rescue us, and we could get pulled up by the rope.”
