Let’s go back to ten minutes ago.
The burning firewood in the stove continuously radiated heat, and the stone bed was very warm, but Ruan Qiuqiu felt that something was wrong.
She felt as if something was pressing down on her. Yuan Jue suddenly appeared in her dream where she had been happily eating barbecue.
His long, sinister-looking scar was covered in frost, and he was staring at her with his gray-blue eyes.
When Ruan Qiuqiu suspiciously looked over, she saw her that wretched-looking gray wolf was sweetly smiling at her. Her sickly husband’s eyes were full of loneliness as he softly said to her, “... Sleep.”
Sleep?
Ruan Qiuqiu regained a bit of consciousness, but she still felt as if there was an unknown pressure that kept her submerged in sleep. She couldn’t open her eyes.
She struggled hard and succeeded in stretching an arm out from underneath the animal skin.
The slight chill diluted her strong sleepiness. Ruan Qiuqiu increasingly felt there was something wrong. She hadn’t been particularly tired yesterday. It should have been impossible for her to sleep so deeply.
Was Mr. Gray Wolf responsible for her unnatural sleepiness? What was he up to?
Ruan Qiuqiu felt a bit doubtful. She also felt the situation was somewhat humorous. Little by little, she struggled to raise her hand. She wanted to touch Mr. Gray Wolf’s arm.
But when she put her hand down on his side of the bed, there was the only animal skin with fading warmth.
Could that wolf have changed into his wolf pup form and led that predator away?
Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t have time to bother with her random thoughts. She rushed back into the cave, took a long piece of wood from the storage room, and simply wrapped it up with tattered animal skins to fashion it into a torch.
Then, she rushed to the stone table and picked up the only weapon she could use in the cave, the bone knife.
When she picked up the bone knife, Ruan Qiuqiu noticed that the clothes she made for Mr. Gray Wolf had been moved.
Her lips were trembling as she picked the clothing up to take a look. She found a handful of long silvery-gray fur inside.
Ruan Qiuqiu saw that fur. Choked up with emotions, her eyes and brows curved.
That gray wolf Tianluo was too outrageous. Since he was leaving, why did he leave behind fur?
Also, she just noticed that firewood had obviously been added to the stone stove. Someone had poured the backup melted snow in one of the two basins into the stone pot too.
It looked as if he had done this deliberately.
Ruan Qiuqiu laughed, and her eyes gradually grew bright and determined.
She hugged the black animal skin clothing that she had made for Mr. Gray Wolf, clutched the bone knife in her left hand, and lit the torch with her right hand.
She was going to find him.
