Chapter 1125 - Chapter 1125 1125 Cliff Survival 10

Chapter 1125: 1125 Cliff Survival 10 Chapter 1125: 1125 Cliff Survival 10 Xiao Yuchuan smiled, well aware that his wife was just joking around.

The cold wind whistled through the winter day, especially fierce in the mountains.

Just over a meter below was a pool, even colder and damper, and even in the daylight, one had to stay by the fire to avoid freezing stiff.

Visible to the naked eye, the thick smoke was completely dispersed by the wind after reaching a few dozen meters high, unable to reach the cliff top.

Given the height of the cliff, even if someone stood at the top and shouted down, the sound wouldn’t carry that far or be heard.

The fish slowly cooked, its fragrance wafting through the air, and both of them, famished, couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.

The fish, weighing over three jin, was actually quite large, but Third Brother had great strength and usually ate a lot, so even such a fish might not be enough for him alone.

However, there were benefits to having great strength.

If it weren’t for Third Brother’s strength yesterday, he couldn’t have possibly made a wooden raft from tree branches despite his serious injury.

His strength and perseverance were well above that of ordinary people.

Yesterday, climbing the sheer cliffs on an empty stomach to gather wood, she was physically drained by the time she descended; if he hadn’t assembled the raft, she wouldn’t have had the strength to make one.

Su Qingyue looked around at their surroundings and sighed.

Were they really going to die trapped here?

The fish was cooked.

Xiao Yuchuan handed it to Su Qingyue, “Wife, have a taste.”

She took the grilled fish, divided it in two, and handed half back to him, “Third Brother, yours.”

“Dear, you are weak.

Eat more…”

“You’re seriously injured and can’t go hungry either,” she said.

“If it weren’t for fear that you’d refuse, I would’ve satisfied myself with a couple of bites, and let you have the rest.”

His heart was full of touched feelings.

Wasn’t it what he himself wished for?

The two shared the grilled fish, which, without any seasonings, didn’t actually taste that good.

In such a desperate situation, having the warmth of the fire and steaming hot food was already a considerable blessing.

Su Qingyue stood on the wooden raft, surveying the surface of the pool.

“Wife, are you still looking for that dead tiger?” Xiao Yuchuan asked.

“Yes,” she nodded.

“This pool is unfathomably deep, and falling from such a height, we sank I don’t know how many meters due to inertia.

The deeper the water, the stronger the buoyancy should be.

Logically, that dead tiger should have floated up.

Who knows where the tiger corpse has gone.

If we could find the tiger and figure out how to pull it up, we could have food for a long time.”

“Maybe it’s entangled in the aquatic plants in the water, or perhaps there’s an undercurrent that swept it away.”

Su Qingyue thought for a moment, “The tiger fell into the pond at a spot not far from us.

When I was in the water, I didn’t see any aquatic plants, but as for the undercurrent…

the tiger was much heavier than you and me.

It would have sunk deeper…

It’s also possible that aquatic plants deeper down have entangled the corpse.”

“Wife…” He held her close, wanting only to spend another moment with her.

She noticed a few withered leaves on the surface of the pool.

Though the leaves appeared still in the water, which looked dead, she remembered that a few hours ago, the withered leaves were about ten meters from the raft where she stood, but now were around twenty meters away.

Although the wind on the surface could easily blow the leaves farther, they had drifted twenty meters in the opposite direction of the wind.

That meant the water in the pool was moving!

It wasn’t a stagnant pool after all.

Even though the wind blew the leaves in the opposite direction, the active water in the pool carried them along with the current.

This discovery excited her greatly.

Xiao Yuchuan clearly noticed this too, “Wife, the water in the pool is alive!”
