“Then don’t eat it.”
Su Xiaoling said coldly.
Cruel. Who could be as cruel as her?!!
She could even kill her own son. Why was she pretending to be a saint now?
She was very tired, and her body felt a little cold. She felt that there might be some mild poison in the bird’s beak. She didn’t have the strength to clean it up. She only cracked open a hole in the bird’s egg and buried it in the ashes.
The corpse of the baby bird was casually stuck by the fire and roasted.
The baby bird in the egg was still alive, but after moving a few times, it stopped moving.
Su Xiaoling moved her hands closer to the fire to warm them.
The fragrance of meat gradually filled the small cliff cave.
When it was cooked, Su Xiaoling gave the baby bird’s corpse to Wei Ling. She ate the bird egg.
There was also very turbid soup in the bird egg. Su Xiaoling drank it in small sips.
She ate the meat and glanced at Wei Ling. Although she said that it was cruel, she was still eating deliciously.
Wei Ling was fake. If she really felt that it was cruel, there were still wild fruits in the small cliff cave. They were not delicious, but they could still fill her stomach. However, Wei Ling still chose to eat meat. Heh—
Wei Ling felt very unhappy. She didn’t want to eat it, but she was really too hungry. She hadn’t been full for the past few days and her body felt very uncomfortable.
Su Xiaoling was right to mock her. She was a hypocrite.
The baby bird was a little bigger than a fist. After eating such a big piece of meat, she finally felt a little full in her stomach.
The cooked fruits were dug out of the ashes and the two of them ate quietly.
After eating, Su Xiaoling asked Wei Ling if she wanted to use the toilet. Wei Ling nodded.
She ate little and controlled herself to go to the toilet only twice a day.
She was afraid that Su Xiaoling would be impatient with her. She couldn’t stand the provocation. She was angry but helpless and couldn’t change the truth.
After returning to the small cliff cave, Wei Ling couldn’t sleep, but Su Xiaoling had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Her shoulder hurt too much, and her head was spinning. When she’d checked it herself with her hand just now, she’d realized that the clothes on her shoulder had been pecked open by a bird. Her shoulder should be bleeding. The bird’s beak was poisonous.
At this time, there was no medicine, so she could only endure it.
Su Xiaoling curled up her body and approached the source of the fire. This was much warmer.
But she still felt cold.
In a daze, she felt as if a hand was on her face and there was a faint muttering sound. She could not hear what it was saying.
Wei Ling noticed that something was wrong with Su Xiaoling because she kept trembling.
Wei Ling couldn’t move, but seeing Su Xiaoling like this, she crawled towards Su Xiaoling with difficulty. She touched Su Xiaoling’s cheek and was shocked. She quickly shouted, “Su Xiaoling, Xiaoling, wake up. Don’t sleep— Su Xiaoling had a fever.
This was very bad. In such an environment, there was no doctor and no medicine.
Wei Ling’s heart sank. If Su Xiaoling died, she wouldn’t be able to live either.
Su Xiaoling was confused by the fever. No matter how she called out, there was no response.
Wei Ling checked around in a panic. Why did Su Xiaoling suddenly have a fever? Was she injured? Where was she injured?
Wei Ling took off Su Xiaoling’s coat and looked at her bruised back and shoulders. Wei Ling was silent.
Even though Su Xiaoling had suffered when she was young, it had been so long since then.
These days were hard for her, but it was also hard for Su Xiaoling.
Seeing that her shoulder was red and swollen, Wei Ling determined that this was the cause of Su Xiaoling’s fever.
She roasted the small dagger on the fire and gently made a cross cut on Su Xiaoling’s swollen area.
She squeezed out all the pus and blood inside. There was no medicine, so she could only wash it with a little water and bandage it casually.
After doing all this, Wei Ling tore off another piece of her clothes, dipped it in water, and roasted it by the fire. She placed a little heat on Su Xiaoling’s forehead.
There was not much she could do. This was the first time she had hoped that Su Xiaoling would survive.
Wei Ling woke up several times in the middle of the night and added firewood.
She looked at the still unconscious Su Xiaoling with worry.
The sky gradually brightened and darkened again.
Wei Ling’s eyes were red. Once Su Xiaoling fell, she couldn’t do anything.
One physiological excretion was enough to destroy all her pride.
She had also used up all the water.
Wei Ling didn’t know what to do. She had already lost count of how much tears she had shed.
The wood was about to run out. If Su Xiaoling did not wake up after tonight, she and Su Xiaoling would be in danger tomorrow night.
Wei Ling took Su Xiaoling’s hairpin and pricked Su Xiaoling’s fingers to let her bleed.
She placed the bamboo tube by the fire and fed it to Su Xiaoling when the water was warm.
Another night passed. Wei Ling’s eyes were bloodshot. She moved the firewood numbly.
When Su Xiaoling regained consciousness, it took her a while to calm down. Her shoulder didn’t hurt so much anymore, and she felt tense. The wound had been treated.
Her lips were not dry, Wei Ling had fed her water.
Su Xiaoling turned around and looked at Wei Ling, who was not far away from her. She seemed to have lost all hope and she was very gloomy.
Su Xiaoling said in a hoarse voice, “Mother, how long was I unconscious?”
Hearing Su Xiaoling’s voice, Wei Ling was stunned at first. Then, tears of surprise surged out. She couldn’t care less about her sorry state and hurriedly wiped them away. Then, she looked at Su Xiaoling and said, “You were unconscious for almost two days. You finally woke up. There’s almost no firewood left…’
Wei Ling’s voice became softer and softer. She had no choice. After all, Su Xiaoling was so weak now. So what if she woke up?
Su Xiaoling looked at the firewood piled up. There was indeed not much left. There was not enough for the night.
The corpses of the two big birds were already stiff, so Wei Ling didn’t deal with them.
Su Xiaoling slowly sat up. She could already imagine how Wei Ling broke down yesterday.
After calming down for a while, Su Xiaoling began to burn fruits to eat. Wei Ling looked at her worriedly and asked, “Xiaoling, how do you feel?”
“I’m okay, Mother, you should eat too. After you eat, I’ll go chop firewood. Mother, you can deal with the corpses of these two big birds here.”
Su Xiaoling said calmly and made arrangements.
“But I can’t handle it. I’ve never done such things!”
Wei Ling almost blurted out.
She had only eaten this roasted but not delicious fruit all day yesterday. The meat was right in front of her, but she did not touch it.
But now. Su Xiaoling actuallv wanted her to deal with it. Wei Ling broke down again.
Su Xiaoling looked at Wei Ling coldly.
Wei Ling also looked at her. She said confidently, “Su Xiaoling, you were unconscious for an entire day yesterday. You had a high fever. I was the one who helped you reduce your fever. I was the one who treated your wound.”
Su Xiaoling only asked coldly, “So?”
Wei Ling was stunned. She meant that she had saved her, so she had to be grateful, but Su Xiaoling’s cold gaze made her speechless.
She couldn’t look into Su Xiaoling’s cold eyes. She gritted her teeth and said again, “I don’t know how to. I’ve never done it before. It’s still early. If you’ve calmed down, take your time. I won’t rush you. There’s still time.”
“Heh—We’re here because of you. You deserve it now. It’s fine if Mother doesn’t want to do it. These wild fruits are enough to last you a few days.” Su Xiaoling’s expression was cold. She would never indulge Wei Ling..
