158: Chapter 157: Carrying Waterlon Rind in Mouth 158: Chapter 157: Carrying Waterlon Rind in Mouth Gu Youyou wasn’t sure if the wild man uncle was still outside guarding, so she didn’t dare to open the tomb door.
Instead, she idly teased the wolf and lay beside the coffin chatting with the idiot.
“Hey, what’s your relationship with him?”
The other party ignored her.
She asked again, “When did you start taking this dicine?
Let tell you a secret, I’ve also taken it, but ever since I knew it was poison, I stopped drinking it.
Look, I’m all better now!”
The man still didn’t react!
It was not until much later that the wild man uncle finally ca back.
This ti he didn’t have any at with him, but he was holding a big waterlon.
In the sweltering heat of July and August, eating waterlon could cool you down.
Gu Youyou watched eagerly, but didn’t dare to make a sound.
Even if it was for cooling down, it certainly wasn’t ant for her.
It must be for the man in the coffin.
She and the little wolf cub could only watch enviously.
A human and a wolf, both starving, listened to the slurpy noise coming from the two silent figures eating the waterlon—this added to the discomfort.
She could only try to take the little wolf cub and squat a bit farther away.
When the wild man uncle finished eating, he threw the waterlon on the ground and gestured to the little wolf cub, which imdiately betrayed its own integrity and scampered over to nibble on the waterlon rind.
Gu Youyou felt a surge of frustration inside her!
There’s no difference between a wolf’s leg and a dog’s leg—go to whoever offers you food!
Gu Youyou spent many anxious days in the tomb, always at the brink of survival with just enough food to hang on to life.
During this ti, she was locked in the coffin to sleep three tis; she reckoned it must’ve been three days.
The man in the coffin still took advantage of her sleep to lick her face like it was jelly, so these past three days, she had barely slept properly; now she could almost fall asleep standing up.
Without daylight, the wild man uncle would always appear in the tomb chamber unexpectedly.
His routines were a puzzle, and Gu Youyou had thought several tis about trying to open the door when he wasn’t around, but she never dared.
At least now she could keep her life; if the wild man uncle found out she wanted to run, whether she could stay alive was another matter.
Gu Youyou sat in a corner, staring at the stone door and sighing over and over again.
She was torn between whether to open it or not.
The little wolf cub dragged its injured leg over to Gu Youyou with a small piece of dried-out waterlon rind in its mouth and dropped it at her feet, as if offering her the waterlon rind to eat.
Gu Youyou’s face was full of dismay.
Why didn’t it bring her so when the waterlon was fresh a couple of days ago?
Of course, even when it was fresh, she wouldn’t eat it; she wouldn’t eat waterlon rinds nibbled by others.
“Co here,” Gu Youyou gestured to the little wolf cub, and the little guy, very understanding, dragged its la leg over to her.
Gu Youyou picked it up and while pulling its leg said, “Be good, okay?
I’m going to see if I can take off the bone that’s been tied on.”
She gently moved the leg and seeing that the little thing wasn’t in too much discomfort, she figured the leg was mostly healed.
Since the injury wasn’t severe to begin with, and she had corrected it in ti, it naturally healed quickly.
After removing the human bone, she put it back in the ossuary room, warning the little wolf cub, “You must not eat the bones there, okay?
No matter how hungry you get, you have to endure.
You can’t eat them.”
Gu Youyou had thought that the little wolf cub would sacrifice itself in its hunger, but it turned out the wild man uncle ignored it, without any indication that he wanted to eat it, and it simply survived.
The little wolf cub looked at Gu Youyou with its big watery eyes, tilting its head, not quite understanding, perhaps.
After removing the bone, its foot was still slightly limping due to the wound on its thigh not being fully healed, but it was no longer a significant problem!
