Chapter 19 – The dying Mr. Food Reserve and Ruan Qiuqiu begin the tale of a wolf and a human’s difficult life in the primitive world (2)

As Ruan Qiuqiu watched Mr. Gray Wolf’s cheeks slowly gaining color, she thought of how that wolf cub had been nibbling the snow.

Ruan Qiuqiu quietly glanced at Mr. Gray Wolf’s emaciated belly, then she touched her own emaciated belly. She silently sighed.

If it wasn’t out of hunger, would this formerly dignified wolf demon be willing to change into his weakest form and nibble on snow?

He was worse off than her. At the very least, she had food and animal skins.

This husband of hers truly had nothing else other than his wolf flesh and this cold cave.

Eyes tearing up again, Ruan Qiuqiu got up from the cold stone bed and strangely felt an inkling of comfort from that thought.

Looking at a certain wolf, who seemed to be unconscious, she teased, “You have to keep living, otherwise, I’ll really make you into wolf jerky, Mr. Food Reserve.”

Little by little, the cold wind blew into the cave. Ruan Qiuqiu spent a few minutes figuring out the cave’s structure and counted her husband’s possessions.

This cave could be considered fairly large with an impressive height. Upon entering, there was an open space of about 20 square meters. Mr. Gray Wolf’s fur and blood had fallen onto this open space.

After taking several steps inside, the cave became narrower. Around the corner, there was a bedroom that was about 30 square meters. In the innermost part of the room, there was a large flat stone bed. It was probably rare to have such a large flat slab of rock. It looked as if it was newly made.

If you didn’t go around the corner and kept walking straight from the open space, you would see a small storage room. It looked to be only around five or six square meters and had a cold stone pot and several wooden bowls. These things looked newly made too.

In addition to the stone pot and wooden bowls, the storage room also had several flat stones, some dried firewood, and two flints. The bedroom also had a stone table and stone stool.

Other than those things, Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t find anything else.

She sighed and wryly smiled. She deeply felt that life was really difficult.

This tale of living in a cave with a forest outside begins with only a wolf as a companion.

At any time, she might be killed and eaten by a demon or a fiend. This life had no guarantees. She wished she could go back to her post-apocalyptic world and sell water. At the very least, she would have enough to eat and have the clothes and shelter to stay warm in that world.

However, Ruan Qiuqiu only briefly entertained the thought about complaining. She quickly pulled herself together.

Picking a spot that wasn’t in the wind’s path, she built up a simple stove with the flat stones in the storage room. She set up the stone pot with a fairly thin bottom on top of the stove and brought in clean snow from the outside with a wooden bowl.

She moved some dried firewood over, picked up the flint with her fingers that were in pain from the cold, and tried several times before she finally started a fire.

While waiting for the snow to melt and boil, Ruan Qiuqiu ran back and forth several times to clean up Mr. Gray Wolf’s fallen blood inside and outside the cave’s vicinity.

Even though she didn’t know if this would be useful or not, the scent of blood could easily attract large beasts. Although she believed that if Mr. Gray Wolf changed into his giant wolf form, he would be able to defeat them, she was sure that a bitter price would have to be paid.

It would be better to avoid risks as much as possible.

The sky had gradually grown dark. Ruan Qiuqiu looked out at the somewhat eerie forest that was full of giant trees and shivered.

Although her current situation was a little bit worse than the worst possibility that she had imagined before she married over here, no matter what, she still had to keep living.
