Chapter 531: Chapter 531: The Wolfâs Gift (4)_1 Chapter 531: Chapter 531: The Wolfâs Gift (4)_1 Ruan Jiaojiao had long left through the backdoor of the Ruan Familyâs house and still felt like she could hear the sorrowful howls of Rou Rou, which made her burst into laughter.
Xiaobai walked ahead, leading the way. After some time, Ruan Jiaojiao couldnât help but start scratching her hands and feet frequently.
It was already autumn, and the weather was getting cooler. She wore long clothes and pants, but these mountains were untrodden by humans, full of branches and grass everywhere. She, who hadnât even been to a vegetable patch, had skin that couldnât withstand the slightest scratch. The mere touch of the flowers, grass, and trees made her itch unbearably, and she had to scratch herself from time to time.
Xiaobai, sliding ahead, immediately stopped upon seeing this. It had been twisting its body as it moved, with the tip of its tail pointed upwards. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao plagued by red scratches from the plants, it felt somewhat annoyed, flicked its forked tongue, and then changed its sliding posture.
It pressed the tip of its tail against the ground, rolling over like a big stick, flattening all the flowers and grass on the ground.
Walking behind, Ruan Jiaojiao didnât have the plants tripping her up anymore, and the trees beside her were all broken by Xiaobai.
Seeing Xiaobaiâs actions, Ruan Jiaojiao felt a warmth in her heart and said with a smile, âXiaobai, youâre so kind.â
âHiss, hissâŠâ Thatâs right, Little Cutie, youâve just realized that now, huh?
It said, twisting its body coquettishly, with a somewhat smug air.
Behind them, the pairâthe human and the Changchongâtalked and laughed all the way, quickly reaching the place Xiaobai intended to take her to.
Could it be a steep slope?
The slope wasnât very steep, around a forty-five-degree angle. Ruan Jiaojiao hadnât been to this spot before, so she didnât know what it used to look like. But she knew it definitely wasnât like this now because the soil above was fresh, and there were many broken roots and branches on the ground, clearly cleared by someone.
She didnât understand why Xiaobai had brought her here.
However, she soon found out.
Because Xiu Xi suddenly appeared at the top of the slope, waving at her.
âBrother Xiu?â Ruan Jiaojiao called out in confusion. Just as she was about to climb the slope, Xiu Xi ran down from above.
He took her hand and led her to the side of the slope, âFor you, a gift.â
Ruan Jiaojiao was genuinely curious, what kind of gift could there be in this place?
But when she arrived at the other side of the slope, she was completely stunned by the sight before her.
The other side of the slope was vertical, and within this vertical surface, there was actually a cave! A cave that was clearly man-made, and even the soil inside was particularly fresh!
âBrother XiuâŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao was truly shocked.
âThere are no cliffs here, only small hills,â Xiu Xi said a bit regretfully.
Ever since Ruan Jiaojiao mentioned missing the cave in the forest, he had started choosing a location in these back mountains. However, the soil here was very loose, unlike some of the forest mountains which were composed of rock, making the caves hard and sturdy.
Even with harder soil, he couldnât find a vertical wall that was suitable for digging a cave.
So, in the end, he settled for a small hill.
He split the small hill right down the middle and then dug out a cave.
Of course, he now knew how to use his abilities more effectively than before. To split the small hill, he enlisted the strength of many animals from the front mountain, but the cave was his own handiwork, taking him a full two months of effort.
Moreover, he dug the cave so large that it was the size of Ruan Jiaojiaoâs room.
