Ancient Eden - Chapter 129
~End of chapter 128
In the evening, Mu Qing cooked mushroom soup in a jar, and the whole cave was filled with the aroma of wild mushrooms and air-dried chicken. Once it was done cooking, the soup was fresh and flavorful, and with the steamed potato roots, not only she and Li Mang ate with great relish, but even Xiao Hei just cared about licking his own special bowl, purring with its head lowered.
Suddenly, Mu Qing felt that she wanted to have a child. A child that belonged to her and Li Mang.
Chapter 129
(40.3)
Previously, she had always felt that it would be cruel and unfair for her child to be born into a world like this, unable to enjoy in the future all the materialistic pleasures and higher education that she knew and had taken for granted.
So she had always been a little resistant to the idea of having a child.
But now she suddenly felt that even if her child didn’t know student grades, didn’t know about space shuttles, or would grow old hunting in the jungle for a living just like his father, what was so wrong about it ? His father would teach him to be brave, she would teach him to be grateful and content with his situation, and he would grow up in his own world until he meets the girl he loves, just as his father had met her. How could she deny him the right to enjoy all of this just because of her own preferences?
With a child, she and Li Mang’s life would be fulfilled, and the two of them would be truly linked by bone and flesh as a man and woman.
This night was the best time to get pregnant. She used all of her body skills to entrap him. The person underneath her was gasping, it was unsure whether from pleasure or pain, as the tip of her dexterous tongue kept spinning, one moment light, the next hard, traveling on his body, suddenly sucking, and when he started trembling, the tongue’s pressure tightly increased.
He grasped her long hair from the back, wanting to pull away from the torment coming from her, but also wanting to make this torment last longer, one circle at a time, one round at a time, until his moans came crushing down, he let go of her hair, and pressed her under his body……
It had been three days and two nights since Li Mang left here to go out hunting.
Mu Qing did her best to try and stop him. She told him over and over again that they had stored up enough food to last them until the beginning of spring. But he wouldn’t listen. He said he had found the track of a giant saber-toothed tiger. If he could hunt it, it would be his last hunt, and they would not have to worry about hunger at all this winter.
And more importantly, she could get a tiger skin to keep her warm. The cold winters here were just as extreme as the summer heat, and without a thick enough pelt, he was worried she wouldn’t survive. He assured her again and again that he wouldn’t put his life in danger, that he would set traps around the tiger’s surroundings, and that he would be very careful to protect himself.
“Let me go and try. I can handle it. I promise to be back very soon.”
He said so as he held her shoulder and looked her in the eyes.
Mu Qing knew there was nothing she could do to stop him.
Although he usually listened to her instructions like a gyroscope, doing whatever she wanted non-stop, always listening to her in all matters, but she also gradually came to an understanding, that he was actually a very stubborn and decisive person. Once he really set his mind on doing something that he thought was right, even if she had the strength of nine oxen, she would not be able pull back his head.
She could only let him take Xiao Hei out to go with him. This was her last compromise. She hoped that as the days went by, Xiao Hei would be able to help him more or less, this way she could also feel more at ease.
Later, Li Mang accepted her arrangement.
With a full bag of arrows sharpened with the swiss knife, a few sharp spears and some other tools and ropes for setting traps, Li Mang took Xiao Hei with him out of the valley.
Mu Qing suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forced herself to keep doing things. Collecting and drying firewood, fishing, sewing hats and boots with the fur she already had…… She didn’t dare to stop working, fearing that once she stopped, she wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about Li Mang and worrying about his safety.
Sometimes she even hated Li Mang a little, thinking that he was not thinking about her at all. What she needed was not a tiger skin to protect from the cold at all, but the sense of security he gave her by being by her side.
He seemed to be very optimistic, and she also believed in his ability. But …… d*mn it, she would just get scared.
