The water gradually boiled. Shi Shen used a wooden barrel to collect the water and tested the temperature. When it was about right, he called her up and said, "Drink it."

Xi Lu dazedly brought the wooden tube to his mouth.

Shi Shen held the wooden barrel with his hand, "Be careful not to burn yourself. I'm not sure if you will feel the heat."

His skin was thick and rough, and the temperature he felt was probably different from what she felt.

The warmth of his palm covered the back of his hand, and Xi Lu became a little more sober, his eyes falling on his hand.

Shi Shen silently withdrew his hand and looked at her.

Xi Lu held the wooden barrel and took a sip carefully. The temperature was just right. Seeing that he was looking at her, she asked, "Can you turn around?"

I'm not used to it.

Are all orcs like this?

Shi Shen turned around and said, "Give me the barrel when you're done drinking."

"oh."

"Here." Xi Lu finished drinking and handed the food over, saying a little embarrassedly, "Where is the toilet?"

Shi Shen looked back at her.

"I mean, I need to pee."

"I know. I was just thinking about where to take you. It's cold outside." He leaned over and picked her up.

Xi Lu hastily pulled her hand back from his firm chest muscles, blushing as she said, "I can walk by myself."

I don’t know who is taking advantage of whom.

“Your feet will hurt.”

Xi Lu stopped talking.

After leaving the cave and away from the fire, Xi Lu felt a chill and couldn't help but sneeze.

Shi Shen hugged her tighter and walked to the stone cave in the corner. Then he changed his right hand into a tiger claw and with one claw, a hole appeared under the stone cave. The bottom was empty and there was the sound of flowing water.

He had nothing to do before, so he dug a row of caves here. There is a river underneath the two caves on the far right.

After a bang, Xi Lu heard the sound of something falling into the water.

He put Xi Lu down, thought for a moment, and turned around, "Go ahead... pee, don't fall down."

"Can you please go out?" Xi Lu had never felt so embarrassed in her life, and it was dark and cold around her.

I want to go home again.

Shi Shen hesitated for a moment, but still went out. "If you don't move, you won't fall. Call me when you're done."

Xi Lu quickly went to the toilet and then called him.

Here, she felt like she couldn't live without him.

It feels very bad to depend your safety and survival on others and not be able to control your own destiny.

His vision was still quite good at night, and he quickly locked onto her position and picked her up.

"I want to wash my hands."

"Yeah." Back to the previous cave, Shi Shen took another wooden barrel and poured water for her to wash her hands.

After lying down, Xi Lu thought that she had finally experienced what it was like to be an ancient landlord.

After waking up for a while, Xi Lu tried hard to fall asleep and wrapped the animal skin around his head.

Shi Shen was lying not far away, listening to her tossing and turning, and it took a long time before he stopped.

Xi Lu woke up at night and the cave was still dark, without any light, so he closed his eyes.

She didn't know how long it had been, she opened her eyes again, it was still dark outside, she closed her eyes again.

When she opened her eyes for the third time, she sat up and moved towards Shi Shen, "Shi Shen."

Shi Shen opened his eyes while lying down, "What?"

"When will it be dawn?" She felt like she had slept for a long time and felt dizzy.

"If you sleep as long as before, it will be dawn."

"Ah?" Two moons and twice the night?

Shi Shen sat up and asked, "Can't sleep?"

"Yeah, I'm still a little hungry."

Shi Shen got out of bed upon hearing this, blew out the sparks under the ashes, and continued to make a fire to roast meat for her. "I'm going to be out for a while, it won't be long."

Xi Lu watched his back disappear into the night and scratched his hair.

He is a nice guy.

Xi Lu went to the fire and warmed himself.

Shi Shen didn't walk too far. After picking some more fruits, he went back to the cave next door. He took the meat he had processed yesterday to the stream to wash it again, strung it up, and then went back.
