Chapter 68 There is a cave nearby

The fish baskets have been recycled, and Xia Tian has made full preparations to prevent extreme rainstorms.

But it didn't rain for the next few days.

Of course, there was no sun these days. It was cloudy all the time, and it was stuffy and humid everywhere. Sometimes I felt like I couldn't breathe.

Xia Tian was always afraid that the rainy season would come unexpectedly. After all, in the original owner's memory, if the rain really fell, it would last for ten days or half a month. So she couldn't bear to eat animal meat. Every day she went to the river to catch fish and dried the extra ones.

Si Ye still came to change her dressing every morning on time.

I don’t know if it’s due to the unique body structure of the orcs, but Si Ye’s recovery is faster and better than Xia Tian’s on Earth, or anyone else in the tribe in the original owner’s memory.

"Your injury should be healed in three days." Xia Tian looked at the wound that was almost healed, and hesitated to speak. "Your body is recovering well. These herbs are used to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. They are no longer necessary. Just be careful not to exert too much force and avoid getting it wet, and you should be able to recover."

"Got it." Si Ye responded neither lightly nor seriously.

If the forest had not been in turmoil during this period, he would not have been willing to let his injuries heal so quickly.

Because... after his injury healed, he no longer had a reason to come and see Xia Tian every day.

On the other side, the girl who was gathering the herbs paused, as if she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right... Si Ye, I want to ask you something."

Si Ye suddenly became a little nervous, and the corners of his eyes drooped unconsciously, "What's wrong?"

Were those people from Dongfang City looking for her?

Xia Tian looked up at the sky and said, "The weather has been so gloomy lately... I just wanted to ask you, since you're familiar with this area, do you know when it's going to rain?"

After spending these few days together, she has completely regarded the man as her own, so she seems to be very familiar and relaxed when getting along with him.

Si Ye adjusted his sitting position and suddenly said, "Your shelter has been reinforced."

Xia Tian continued, "Yes, my shelter is too small and not very safe, so I reinforced it."

"I know there's a cave nearby. It's where I used to live. Would you... like to move there?"

Si Ye looked at her, his emerald eyes as deep as a lake of spring water.

He wasn't sure if the girl would agree, but he kind of... wanted to try.

He really didn't want her to live in such a dilapidated shelter.

"You said there's a cave nearby where we can live?"

Xia Tian's attention was drawn to the possibility of upgrading the shelter, and she ignored the man's deep gaze. "Where is it? Can we move in now? Then I'll pack it up..."

She is a modern person and is not particularly averse to men and women living in the same room.

Not to mention that in the wild, where this is a special situation, of course the priority is to upgrade living conditions, and everything else has to be put behind.

"You promised?"

Si Ye didn't expect Xia Tian to agree so quickly.

He admitted that he had selfish motives in asking this question, as a way to test the other party's feelings for him. He had been cleaning up some miscellaneous items in the cave for the past few days.

Although he did not expect the other party to really become his partner, with his half-orc blood, he would probably be alone for the rest of his life.

But... seeing the girl alone, he couldn't bear to see her suffer.
