Ancient Eden - Chapter 131
~End of chapter 130
Mu Qing puffed a few breaths towards her frozen hands and struggled to make her way down the rock, barely able to stand on her feet.
Her feet were frozen too, a few of her toes were so numb she could barely feel them.
She sat on the ground, took her feet out of her shoes, slowly rubbed her toes, and only when she felt the blood flow through her skin again and that she had regained some sensation did she stand up again.
Li Mang would surely return. She hadn’t eaten all day. She needed to get something to eat. With the calories coming from the food, she would have the strength to continue waiting for him.
Chapter 131
(41.2)
Mu Qing chanted this to herself as she went back to the outer cave to try and lit a fire. When she started the fire, her hand were moving completely out of her control. The flint in her right hand hit her left thumb hard, wounding a large section of skin, and blood immediately started to flow out.
Mu Qing cursed and put her bleeding thumb in her mouth to suck on it, before spitting out bloody water.
She felt the pain from her hand. But this pain was like a thread, tugging at her gradually sinking cold heart to awaken it.
She started cooking a large pot of wild vegetable and meat soup. Li Mang might come back in the middle of the night, and he would most likely be very hungry at that time, this way he could also eat. If he still wasn’t back by then……, it was okay, she would eat the rest tomorrow, and after eating, she would then go sit on that boulder and wait for him.
The soup in the pot gradually bubbled, and vapor started to soar up, filling the entire roof of the outer cave, and she could smell the vegetable and meat soup aroma all around. She took a bowl and stirred the pot of soup with a large spoon.
Suddenly she heard heavy “da da da” sounds.
This sound was familiar to her. It was the sound of Xiao Hei’s four paws landing on the stone surface when he was running.
She suddenly turned back, her hand made a sudden movement, and the pot overturned, falling down from the stone shelf on the fire, the soup poured over the fire, making “chi chi” sounds, and the fire was doused.
Mu Qing did not care about picking up the pot, she dropped the soup spoon in her hand, and ran outside, almost in a leap. Just as she reached the entrance of the cave, a black shadow came at her head-on, almost knocking her to the ground.
It was Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei leaped up high and jumped into her arms, its two front paws affectionately grasped her shoulders, and its warm wet tongue was already licking her neck and cheeks.
Mu Qing hugged Xiao Hei tightly.
Xiao Hei was now much heavier than when she had first picked it up a few months ago, and with all the motions and twisting around, Mu Qing couldn’t hold it firmly, and Xiao Hei slipped off her hands.
Since Xiao Hei was back, where was Li Mang?
She couldn’t continue to pay attention to Xiao Hei anymore, she stretched her legs and ran in the direction of the valley entrance. When she turned around the corner, she ran head-on into a man’s chest.
It was Li Mang.
His chest was very hard, and when she crashed head first hard on it like this, her nose hurt a little.
She looked up and looked in a daze at Li Mang who was standing in front of her gasping for breath, it was obvious that he had been running all the way back.
Perhaps it was because her nose was hit and she felt pain, and it was not only painful, but also felt sour, but the next second, she could no longer control the tears that fell down.
She suddenly raised her hands and made two fists, beating him desperately on his chest, one blow after another, using the strength of her entire body.
Li Mang kept holding her body, letting her pound on him, while coaxing her in a low voice, until her hands gradually slowed down, and she then climbed on his shoulders, hanging on his neck.
She stood up on her toes, not caring about her tear-stained face, and pulled his head down with force to kiss him on the lips.
She didn’t dare admit that every moment before, she had been afraid. Afraid he would get hurt, afraid he wouldn’t come back, afraid he would die out there and leave her alone in this valley to wait in vain until she becomes hopeless.
All she wanted to do now was kiss him, as a proof that he was really back. As for brushing his teeth and what not, she put that matter aside for now.
When Li Mang came in contact with her soft lips, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately wanted to avoid it.
He still firmly remembered that she gave him the rule that he was not allowed to kiss her mouth without brushing his teeth.
Out there, he hadn’t brushed his teeth for already several days.
But before he could move away, she was already holding his head on place with force, pressing herself hard against him. Not only did both their lips and teeth meet, but even her tongue probed into his mouth and intertwined tightly with his, with the fluids crossing. It wasn’t until both of them couldn’t breathe anymore that they slowly let go.
