Chapter 1129: 1129 Cliff Survival 14 Chapter 1129: 1129 Cliff Survival 14 “It’s not a stone, it feels like…

I poked something that’s part of an animal.” She looked a bit surprised, “And it’s a very large animal, it seems like…

the dead tiger!”

Xiao Yuchuan was also very pleased, “If it is really that dead tiger, then we won’t have to worry about food for the time being.”

The snow was still falling on and off.

Su Qingyue glanced at the night sky, estimating by modern-day time, it was probably around ten o’clock at night.

The two relied on the fire on the wooden raft for light.

The fire was not extinguished by the snow because third brother had built a small shed over it.

The water in the pool looked pitch black at night, and if you entered the water, it would be like a blind person groping in the dark, unable to see anything at all.

They would have to wait until tomorrow.

Su Qingyue took a silk handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and tied it to a bulging wall stone above the part of the pool where they had noticed something.

The cliff face of the pool was steep and straight, every part looked very similar.

In case the wooden raft was accidentally blown away by the wind, they could directly find this place.

Seeing a rock bulge about two meters ahead, although it was not big enough for a person to stand on, they could tie the raft to it.

Xiao Yuchuan took a piece of vine rope, one end tied to the raft and the other tied to the rock bulge, so the raft leaned to the side and wouldn’t drift.

Leaning to the side offered some protection from the wind by the cliff, and it was not as cold as paddling in the middle of the pool.

“Third brother, you haven’t slept for a day and a night, you should sleep.” Su Qingyue spoke up.

He shook his head, “You sleep, wife.”

Su Qingyue insisted, “If you don’t sleep, even an iron man can’t withstand this, don’t worry, I’ll tend to the fire.” Someone needed to constantly watch over the fire, otherwise if it spread beyond the boundary of the broken stones mixed with soil on the raft, the whole raft would be destroyed.

Thinking that tomorrow he would need a lot of strength to pull the dead tiger out of the water, Xiao Yuchuan, after taking the wound medicine, lay down on the wooden raft and fell asleep.

Su Qingyue looked after the fire, conserving the wood as she burned it.

However, the remaining wood on the raft was depleting.

Seeing him shiver involuntarily in his sleep from the cold, she was tempted to take off her clothes and cover him, but that would be a foolish act.

Without spare cold-resistant clothing, if she got sick from the cold, she would only become a burden.

The sensible thing to do was to ensure both of them maintained their best physical condition.

She resisted the urge to add more wood to the fire and instead gently pressed her body against his, sharing some of her warmth.

If they burned a few more pieces of wood, the fire would indeed blaze stronger, but once the wood was gone, they would quickly freeze to death.

Although the firelight illuminated a certain area, the cliff walls were pitch black; climbing to gather wood in such poor visibility was too dangerous.

Everything would have to wait until tomorrow.

The later it got into the night, especially being over the water, it truly felt so cold that one could turn into an ice block.

Snowflakes fluttered down, stopping and starting intermittently.

If it wasn’t for the fire, she and he would indeed have frozen to death.

Fortunately, though it was cold, it was still bearable by the fire.

The next day, as soon as it got light, there were only a few sticks of wood left burning on the raft.

Xiao Yuchuan woke up tantalized by the smell of grilled fish.

Opening his eyes, he saw that under the shed above the fire, a pole was strung by vine ropes at both ends with a grilled fish hanging in the middle.

There had been four fish in total, and the other three were also grilled, now resting on the unburned wood beside the fire.

All the four remaining fish had been grilled.

“Third brother, you’re awake,” Su Qingyue yawned.

“Dear, you’ve worked hard,” Xiao Yuchuan sat up, having indeed slept well the night before.
