Chapter 865: Fake

When she woke up, Su Xiaoling had already cut down a few trees for her to saw.

Wei Ling looked at the unfinished food from last night and was very puzzled. “Isn’t there still so much left? Why do I still have to do this today? Yesterday, my palm was already blistered!”

Wei Ling attacked. Several blisters on her well-maintained hands had already dried up.

“Heh—

Su Xiaoling sneered. She reached out her hand. The blood soaked in the bandage was already dry.

“If Mother is unwilling to do it, I can’t force you. Similarly, if I’m unwilling to do something, no one can force me.”

Su Xiaoling’s voice was cold. She looked straight at Wei Ling.

Wei Ling’s expression gradually weakened. She looked at the gray sky outside and felt despair.

She lowered her eyes and picked up the dagger on the ground. She answered with her actions.

Su Xiaoling turned around and said calmly, “It’s getting cold. It might be snowing soon. When it snows, it’ll be even harder to find food. It’s also difficult to get wood.”

With that, Su Xiaoling turned around and left.

Wei Ling looked at Su Xiaoling’s back and felt her vision blur.

Su Xiaoling searched for a long time, but she could not find any traces of wild animals. There was not even a snake.

She sighed under the wild fruit tree and plucked all the fruits. There was no meat, so she could only eat these wild fruits to fill her stomach.

There was nothing on the ground. As Su Xiaoling walked back, she began to look above her head.

She really saw a few big bird nests.

However, she did not know if there were still bird ezzs in such cold weather.

Su Xiaoling observed and only saw big birds flying down from the sky occasionally. There was no sound.

She returned to the small cliff cave.

Wei Ling’s numb expression lit up a little. She said, “You’re back.”

“Yeah.”

Su Xiaoling replied calmly and piled the fruits in a corner. It was not dark yet. She only sat for a while before going out again. If she could not find meat, she could still get some dry grass.

When she returned, it was already dark.

But this time, she brought back some grass roots.

Wei Ling looked at the lack of meat today and licked the corner of her mouth. The fruit was not delicious after being cooked, but this was the only thing to eat now.

If not for Su Xiaoling’s dry lips, Wei Ling would have thought that she had secretly eaten her fill outside.

In the latter half of the night, there was rustling outside and gusts of wind.

It was snowing, and there was also rain.

Wei Ling looked at the sleeping Su Xiaoling and thought that she was right.

In just one night, the sky outside was already covered in white snow. This made it even harder to find food and get firewood.

It was not easy to start a fire, so they could only use the wood sparingly.

In the morning, both of them only ate one fruit.

Su Xiaoling bled Wei Ling again and carried her to the toilet. Then, she prepared to go out. She remembered the route yesterday. If she had a goal today, she wouldn’t have to go out early.

“Are you still going out?”

Wei Ling said in confusion.

Su Xiaoling nodded. “When I came back yesterday, I saw a few bird nests. I’ll go up the tree to see if there are any birds.”

Eating this everyday consumed a lot of stamina. If she didn’t replenish enough, her body would become weaker and weaker. She didn’t know why there were no other wild animals in this land. She had only encountered snakes a few times. If she had known at the beginning, she wouldn’t have let them go.

The bird’s nest was a hope. She wanted to take a look while she was still strong and had enough energy.

“Xiaoling, be careful.”

Wei Ling said awkwardly. The trees were very tall. She was worried about Su

Xiaoling. If something happened to Su Xiaoling, it would be difficult for her to live too.

Su Xiaoling didn’t answer. Her figure disappeared from Wei Ling’s sight.

Wei Ling’s eyes dimmed. She looked at the snow-white world with a myriad of emotions. If she had never been sad for Su Xiaoling, Su Xiaoling would probably comfort her now that she was so sad.

As she thought about it, Wei Ling couldn’t help but mock herself.

She always said that it was useless, but now, she actually wanted to hear comforting words.

If it was like this here now, she did not dare to imagine what would happen when they returned to the capital.

Her lower body was numb. She clenched her fists tightly. She was afraid that her fear was turning into reality bit by bit…

Su Xiaoling came to the tree. Because of the heavy snow last night, she had more resistance climbing the tree.

She wrapped the vines around her, made sure they were firm, and began to climb slowly.

From time to time, snow would fall from the trees and land on her head and face. It was quite painful.

She didn’t dare relax. Her face was red. As she got closer and closer to the bird’s nest, she heard some movement inside.

She began to concentrate her mental strength, capture the consciousness of the bird, and attack fiercely.

The big bird in the bird’s nest did not understand what it was experiencing. It just suddenly struggled crazily and fluttered out of the bird’s nest. Then, uncontrollably, it fell fiercely.

It let out a dry bird cry. “Hiss—

Su Xiaoling did not know what kind of bird it was. The sound of the bird was unfamiliar, and it was not loud.

Another bird flew out of the nest and saw Su Xiaoling. It attacked Su Xiaoling fiercely.

Su Xiaoling was sweating profusely. She could only brace herself and continue to attack the big bird with her mental strength.

The big bird did not have much intelligence. It did not know how she did it, but it knew that she was an invader.

Its sharp mouth pecked her shoulder fiercely.

Su Xiaoling felt that half of her shoulder was numb.

She drained all her mental strength and attacked the big bird. The big bird’s body was unstable and it fell.

Su Xiaoling held the vine tightly and panted heavily.

Her face was pale. The big bird pecked her shoulder. She felt no sensation in her entire shoulder. After the pain, she felt numb.

Su Xiaoling raised her hand and began to dismantle the bird’s nest.

Neither of the big birds was in the nest anymore. She wanted to see if there were any more bird eggs in the nest.

After dismantling a gap, she saw a bird egg and a naked and trembling baby bird.

Su Xiaoling reached out and took the fist-sized bird egg. She also caught the baby bird.

The big bird was dead, and the baby birds could not live.

She started down the tree.

When she reached the bottom of the tree, she could barely stand steadily. She panted for a while before shaking her head. Then, she walked towards the corpses of the two big birds. It had not been long, and they were still warm. These birds were very big, and each weighed eight to nine catties.

There would be no need to worry about meat for many days.

Su Xiaoling pulled some fur off the bird’s neck and bit it. She really couldn’t hold on anymore. She didn’t know if it was because she was hungry or because she was injured, but she felt her head getting heavier and heavier.

The bird’s blood was not delicious, but it was hot and had some spiritual energy. After drinking it, Su Xiaoling felt that her vision was much clearer.

The fist-sized baby bird also stopped breathing in her arms. Su Xiaoling dragged the two big birds back.

When she returned, Wei Ling smiled when she saw her gains.

Wei Ling frowned when she saw Su Xiaoling take out the bird egg and the baby bird’s corpse. She subconsciously said, “Isn’t this too cruel?”

As soon as she finished speaking, she met Su Xiaoling’s mocking gaze..
