Chapter 1386 -1370: Saw Everything_2

Qingluan said: “Something to eat? Then I’ll go look for it.”

Song Xiaodong said: “Wait, let’s go together. If we encounter danger, we can face it together and take care of each other.”

“The way you are now, taking care of each other, it’s me taking care of you, right? You have a point. If I leave, and something appears, it might just eat you right away. Humph, then you better stick with me.”

“Thank you, Miss Qingluan, for your concern.” Song Xiaodong grinned.

“Ah! You scoundrel, I didn’t tell you to open your eyes, how come you opened them?” Qingluan raised her hand, pretending to slap Song Xiaodong’s head, but quickly pulled her hand back, blocking first her chest, then her legs, and rapidly switching hands back and forth.

Seeing Qingluan’s frantic look, Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but laugh out loud, saying: “Stop blocking, I’ve been looking for so long, blocking now won’t help.”

“You… you…” Qingluan gritted her silver teeth, suddenly turned her body, and said: “Follow me.”

Song Xiaodong immediately stood up, hopping on one foot to catch up with Qingluan, keeping his injured left leg still, so the wound could heal faster.

Chapter 1371 Dead End

“Not bad, you can move pretty fast with one leg.” Qingluan glanced sideways at Song Xiaodong and teased.

“No choice, you, the young lady, wouldn’t possibly support me, so I can only hop by myself.” Song Xiaodong said with a cheeky smile.

“Dream on, just hop on one foot.” Qingluan proudly raised her chin, always staying ahead of Song Xiaodong so that if he were to see her, he would only see her back and not the front.

For a girl, the front is so important, and since it can’t always be avoided for Song Xiaodong to see, keeping it from view is the best solution.

This current situation can only be considered a minor episode, Qingluan knew that the most important thing now was to figure out the situation here, find a way out, and resolving little details with Song Xiaodong was not feasible.

While they were bickering, they were actually seriously observing the situation here. Due to the refraction of crystals, the lighting was good, and with their eyes adjusted to this light, they could practically see far distances.

“This place is huge, we shouldn’t just wander aimlessly. We should follow along the cave wall and mark our trail so we know where we’ve already been.” Song Xiaodong suggested.

“Hmph, why should I listen to you?” Qingluan glared at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong shrugged and said: “Then what do you suggest?”

Qingluan pointed to the clearing in the middle and said: “Let’s head over this way, I hear water sounds from over there, there might be giant snakes.”

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said: “Whether there are giant snakes or not, we must face it, and where there’s water, there might be fish. At least those giant snakes wouldn’t all hunt for prey in that pond.”

“Alright, this is to help you regain your strength, I’m not listening to you.” Qingluan raised her chin again and led Song Xiaodong towards the cave wall.

Upon reaching near the cave wall, they saw a small river, or rather a stream, since the water flow was small, not deep, crystal clear, barely half a meter deep.

Qingluan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, saying: “Doesn’t look like there will be giant snakes here.”

Song Xiaodong nodded and said: “Indeed, those giant snakes with such large bodies shouldn’t be here.”

“Fish, fish! There are fish here, and big ones!” Qingluan pointed at the water surface, shouting excitedly, truly like a child.

Song Xiaodong exhaled, saying: “At least, we won’t starve here.”

Qingluan was already in the water, stretched out her hand, grabbed the fish, and turned around to show it off to Song Xiaodong: “See, I caught it.”

Song Xiaodong’s face lit up with a bright smile, raising his thumb: “Nice, you’re really capable.”

“Of course!” Qingluan raised her chin again, and with a casual swipe of her other hand, caught another fish weighing more than a pound.

Jumping onto the bank, Qingluan said proudly: “I’ll reluctantly roast a fish for you again.”

Song Xiaodong gave a wry smile and asked: “What are you going to use to roast it?”

“With fire, ah, there’s no wood, no fire here.” Qingluan’s face turned grim.

“Yes, so we have to eat it raw.”

“Raw?” Qingluan’s face immediately looked unpleasant.

Song Xiaodong said: “Yes, haven’t you eaten sashimi? It’s raw fish slices.”

“No, I don’t eat that.” Qingluan frowned.

“Then give it a try. The stream water here is clean, and the fish shouldn’t taste bad, though it could be a bit fishy due to lack of seasoning.”

“I won’t eat it.” Qingluan said firmly.

Song Xiaodong didn’t force her, knowing Qingluan wasn’t hungry yet. If she gets really hungry, she’ll eat even if she doesn’t want to.

Song Xiaodong took a fish from Qingluan’s hand, went to the stream, and selected a stone, sliced the fish open, cleaned it, and sliced a piece of fish meat before putting it in his mouth.

Qingluan’s throat moved, she quickly turned her head away, saying: “You’re just a beast, eating raw things.” Then hurriedly walked aside.

“Hey, I just saw everything again.” Song Xiaodong joked, taking a bite of raw fish.

“You jerk!” Qingluan cursed, throwing another fish to Song Xiaodong but didn’t react much. Despite her attention, in this situation, it’s hard not to be seen by Song Xiaodong.

“Alright, just see if you want, I’ve seen you too.” Qingluan consoled herself internally, her mind on Song Xiaodong’s appearance, which suddenly made her feel more frustrated. Even if she saw Song Xiaodong, she seemed to suffer more loss?

A woman’s mentality is entirely different from a man’s. When a man sees a woman, he feels privileged, and even if seen by a woman, he feels a bit thrilled.

But a woman being seen feels she’s suffered, and when seeing a man, she feels the same loss.

Song Xiaodong devoured the fish, despite its fishy taste, the meat was quite delicious, mainly needing to replenish energy in such a perilous place, lacking strength would be too dangerous.

After eating, Song Xiaodong had more energy, and they resumed exploring the cave.

After walking along the cave wall for over two hours, they stopped as they realized they’d looped back to the starting point.

This meant the cave was a closed circular cave, and there were no paths leading elsewhere.

“We’re stuck here.” Qingluan’s mouth twitched.

Song Xiaodong shrugged and said: “It seems so right now.”

Qingluan looked at Song Xiaodong, her eyes suddenly showing a fierce light, surprisingly displaying a murderous intent.

Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes and asked: “You want to kill me?”

Qingluan gritted her teeth and said: “Yes, you scoundrel, would we be trapped here if it weren’t for you?”

“Big sis, can’t you be reasonable? In that pond, I called you up, if you had come up earlier, would we be here?”

“Hmph, I shouldn’t have saved you, just leave you to be caught by the snakes, at least I wouldn’t be stuck here.”

Song Xiaodong didn’t argue, just smiled at Qingluan.

Facing Song Xiaodong’s gaze, Qingluan suddenly became quiet, feeling stifled, she said: “Yes, you wanted to save me, it’s also my choice not to let go, I’m just annoyed, I came to kill you, why did I save you then, I’m so foolish!”
