Chapter 59: Was he really worthy of being called her husband? (2)

Ruan Qiuqiu sat up all the way and condensed several drops of healing water to feed the gray wolf. Then, she put on another layer of clothes and started to deal with the trifles of life: add firewood, clean, cook, take care of the wolf, wash animal skins, and working on making her weapon.

By the time Ruan Qiuqiu had finished doing all of this, not only had her physical strength plummeted, she felt mentally exhausted too.

Since she was trying to improve Mr. Gray Wolf’s physical condition, she planned on going out to hunt. In addition, she fed the wolf meat, but only allowed herself to eat soup mixed with tuber power.

Despite this, the amount of meat they had was being quickly used up. There was also a more urgent need for replenishing the supply of herbs.

After she had changed the medicine on Mr. Gray Wolf today, there were only one and half herbs left.

At most, this would only last two days.

Ruan Qiuqiu was about to become bald from worrying too much. Sitting on the side of the bed, she clutched the fur on Mr. Gray Wolf’s tail. With some bitterness seeping through her voice, she said, “Mr. Food Reserve, when will you get better?”

Ruan Qiuqiu listened to his shallow breathing and truly hoped that he would get better soon.

On the fourth night of the blizzard, Ruan Qiuqiu once again used the fiend core to help Mr. Gray Wolf restrain the spread of the fiend energy. Seeing that their food had dwindled to almost nothing, she grew restless.

In the past few days, she had finished making a spear using the sharpest part of the fiend that Mr. Gray Wolf had brought back, dug through the storage room, found some straw, weaved the straw into straw sandals, and used scraps from the animal skin to make the straw sandals into warm shoes.

She had also chosen a white animal skin and made it into a backpack.

In addition, Ruan Qiuqiu had used the bone knife to carve small wooden cups with lids from ordinary wood. Whenever she finished cultivating, she would condense droplets of healing water and store them in the wooden cups.

She tested out how long the healing effect would remain in the water. It was about a day.

She was doing all these things in preparation for going out tomorrow morning.

She also stopped restraining herself from eating meat. With her dieting improving a bit, her physical condition was much better. Even in the blizzard, she should have a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

“I’m going out tomorrow morning.” Ruan Qiuqiu sat down on the side of the stone bed, placed her hand on Mr. Gray Wolf’s dry and furry tail, and somewhat despondently said, “I don’t know if I’ll make it back here. If I come back late and the fiend energy is acting up again, drink the water I prepared.”
