Chapter 1136: 1136 Drill 2 holes in the underwater cave wall.

Su Qingyue knew he had gone to chisel holes into the wall of the cave and patiently continued to roast the large tiger skin in her hands.

About twelve minutes later, Xiao Yuchuan popped his head up, holding the two fish bladders from the wooden raft, and went back underwater.

This time, it took him half an hour to resurface, which made Su Qingyue so anxious, she started jumping up and down on the raft.

But she dared not rashly go underwater.

After all, third brother had said that the underwater cave was filled with water.

Except for the place where the tiger corpse was caught, which was big enough, only one person could swim through to get inside.

As one got close to the exit, there was a crevice too narrow for a person to pass.

If she went underwater into the cave, the cave, which was filled with water, would become an obstacle for third brother’s return swim.

It might actually block his way out.

She estimated, guessing that Yuchuan had successfully used the fish bladders for breathing.

He had taken two fish bladders and had been underwater for half an hour; this meant he must have used the two fish bladders to breathe twice.

Counting the time, if he did not emerge in half an hour, she would go underwater.

Her facial expression was one of such anxiety that it had turned pale.

If Yuchuan hadn’t succeeded in breathing, then he might have already…

drowned inside the cave wall underwater.

Dangerous indeed.

Considering the coldness here, the entire pond freezing over more than ten meters thick would be an easy occurrence.

When that happens and the pond freezes over, the water in the cave wall hole, located more than two meters beneath the surface, will also freeze.

In a few days, she and Yuchuan would be able to walk on the ice over the pond.

They wouldn’t be able to fly up the steep cliffside or go underwater.

If they couldn’t get outside through the underwater cave within three days, once the ice formed, they would truly be left with no option but a quick dead end.

She kept her eyes fixed on the cave two meters beneath the surface of the water, and finally, Yuchuan managed to swim out.

He surfaced and gasped for air.

After taking several deep breaths, he said, “Dear, I chiseled the crevice open about the width of a fist.

If I chisel away nine more sections of the same width, we’ll be able to get out.”

Excitement tinged his voice.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, he then noticed her eyes were red, “Wife, what’s wrong?”

“I thought you had drowned in the water cave.”

“With you here, wife, how could I bear to die.” He chuckled, and as he spoke, you could clearly see the warm breath being exhaled from his mouth.

With that, he climbed onto the wooden raft.

She pulled him up and, with her own sleeve, helped him dry off.

Then he put on his clothes and warmed himself by the fire.

Picking up the dagger he had been holding, she measured against his body with her fingers.

Shivering from the cold, he chattered his teeth, “Wife, are you thinking of making clothes from the tiger skin?”

“Mm.” She handed him the tiger skin along with the dagger, “You’re the expert at making clothes.

You do it.

Even without needle and thread, just puncture a couple of holes in the skin to stick arms through, we could make two padded jackets.”

Only after he felt slightly warmer, did Xiao Yuchuan spread out the large tiger skin, “Such a large piece of tiger skin, enough to make clothes for both you and me.”

His embroidery work was excellent, and he was very skilled at cutting the tiger skin with his dagger.

He actually managed to make two pieces of clothing from the tiger skin, and they even had sleeves.

How he sewed the sleeves…

After cutting out a piece for the sleeve, he used the dagger to puncture a few holes on each side of the skin, wrapped it around to form a cylinder, and then used the cleaned fish intestines from the pond to bind the holes together on both sides, creating a cylindrical shape.

The sleeves were attached to the arms in the same way, by puncturing holes and tying them together.

At this moment, keeping warm was of utmost importance, so no one cared about using the disgusting fish intestines anymore.

Once they each put on the tiger skin clothes they had made, they were both sufficiently warm.

The sky grew darker, and the night brought even more cold.

At night, the water was pitch black, and Su Qingyue didn’t let Yuchuan go underwater anymore.

The snow fell light and softly, never seeming to stop.

The bright moon did give them a break tonight, showing its face.
