Chapter 32 I Want to Steal the Wolf Cub

However, Su Nuan was very happy when she heard the wolf howling. If there were wolves, there would definitely be wolf cubs. Stealing two would not be too much, right?

Now that she knew Qin Shou was dead, there was no need to continue watching, so she returned to the cave.

"Mom, I want to steal some wolf cubs."

Xue was so frightened that she staggered and dropped the dried wild vegetables in her hand.

"You...what did you say?"

Su Nuan repeated, "I'm going to steal wolf cubs. Even half-grown wolves would be fine. Then we'll have dogs in the future."

Xue was at a loss for words. "Are you stupid? They're wolves. If you steal a wolf cub, the whole pack will come out to look for it. Even this cave won't be able to stop them."

Su Nuan was silent. Indeed, wolves are social animals and attach great importance to their offspring. Unless you can find a lone wolf that has been abandoned by the pack, don't even think about raising one.

The plan to steal the wolf cub was shattered, but Su Nuan did not give up. "I'll go to the mountain tonight and see if I can catch some prey."

Xue was furious this time, "You are not allowed to go."

Su Nuan was frightened by her seriousness. It turned out that the mother-in-law could be quite scary when she got angry.

Then how did she always greet me with a smile in her previous life?

It’s not that the Xue family is not good now. On the contrary, the Xue family now truly regards themselves as family.

Xue also felt that her tone was too harsh. She took a deep breath and said, "You are not allowed to go. We have so much food that we won't starve to death. As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters. Got it?"

Su Nuan shrank her neck and quickly hugged Xue's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, can't I just not go? Don't be angry, it's not worth it to get angry."

Xue glared at Su Nuan and poked her forehead with her finger. "You silly girl, do you want to scare me to death?"

Su Nuan smiled apologetically and began to change the subject.

"Mom, can you make elm bark noodles?"

Xue shook her head, "I can't."

The old lady was originally cleaning up the remaining wild vegetables. Upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Nuan girl, I can cook. Do you want to eat some?"

Su Nuan's eyes lit up and she ran to the old lady, "Grandma, you can do it. Tomorrow I'll go peel some elm bark and we can make noodles."

The old lady looked at her lovingly and said, "Okay, but there are some things missing."

Su Nuan asked quickly, "What are you missing? Dong'er has a lot of miscellaneous items, maybe there's something we need."

There are plenty of things in the space, so using Dong'er as an excuse won't arouse suspicion.

The old lady smiled and said, "You need a stone mill. If you don't have one, you need a stone mortar, but that will be very slow."

"After collecting the elm bark, you have to tear off the white layer inside, dry it, then pound it into powder and mix it with flour to make noodles."

Su Nuan understood, "I understand. I'll go check it out later and send two more ribs to Dong'er."

No one in the Ling family was stingy, and they all liked Dong'er's kindness and righteousness, so no one objected.

Su Nuan filled a clay pot with wild vegetable and mushroom soup and two spare ribs, and said, "Mom, I'll send it over."

"Go ahead and come back early." Xue didn't stop him.

Su Nuan immediately ran away. She wanted to hurry up and go to the mountain to take a look.

Although it would take half an hour to walk with Xue, I could get there in less than a quarter of an hour by running.

She came to Dong'er's carriage and Ada opened the door.

Su Nuan went in and said, "Dong'er, eat quickly. I'm going back first."

Before Dong'er could say anything, Su Nuan had already gotten out of the carriage and ran away.

It was still raining outside, and Dong'er thought she was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't call her again.

Su Nuan left the carriage and headed straight for the mountain. It was still some time before dark.

She went to another mountain, which was covered with dense forests. There must be large wild beasts here, otherwise she would not have left Qin Shou here.

When they reached the mountain, Su Nuan didn't look for traces of wild animals, so she simply entered the space first.

This time she appeared in the house in the space. She looked around and found no changes. The wild vegetables she collected should be in the underground warehouse.

She went out to the yard and tentatively walked towards the river. Unexpectedly, she came directly to the river this time.

She took off her shoes and walked into the river, but after about four feet she could go no further.

"It seems that there are some conditions that can cause this invisible wall to expand. What could they be?"

Su Nuan couldn't think of it, so she simply gave up. Now that there was a river, it meant there was clean, endless water.

I originally thought that the spring water collected in the space was not enough to drink, but now it’s good. Using this river water to cook is definitely cleaner than the water outside.

She happily splashed the water with her hands, but after just two splashes, she was bitten by a grass carp weighing more than 20 kilograms. Half of her body was dragged into the river. If it weren't for the transparent wall, she would have been dragged into the deep river.

Su Nuan struggled frantically, but the grass carp had teeth stuck in its throat and her palm couldn't be taken out. She could only swing her fist and hit the fish's head hard.

The fish was knocked unconscious and lost its power, and Su Nuan dragged the big fish to the shore.

She pried open the fish's mouth and carefully took out her scraped and bleeding hand. She washed her hand in the river water, and a magical scene appeared. The wound on her hand was healing rapidly.

"Wow... this river water is a treasure. It can actually heal wounds."

Su Nuan excitedly scooped up the water and took a few sips. The water was sweeter than the mountain spring water, and seemed to be invigorating.

"Oh my god, this is absolutely priceless. With it, I can better recuperate my family's health, and it can also make Ling Cang get better."

Su Nuan patted the grass carp excitedly and said, "Thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have discovered the function of this water. As a thank you, I'll braise you."

But now is not the time to cook fish. Su Nuan is still thinking about the wolves outside. She thought about it, chopped off the fish head, strung it with a rope, and carried it out of the space.

She made a trap with a rope, then hung the fish head on the trap, and then entered the space to cook braised fish.

The room was not big, so Su Nuan put the tables and chairs on the grass outside and built an open-air dining room.

After the braised fish was ready, Su Nuan divided the fish into several portions and put them into Tao Wan's bowl.

After doing all this, she left the space to see if there was any prey. If there were no wolves, catching a pheasant or a rabbit would be fine.

But she was shocked when she came out of the space. There was a fat white cat in the trap. It was struggling violently and had started rolling its eyes. If Su Nuan came out later, she would have to collect its body.

Su Nuan frowned and walked over, grabbed the noose and untied it. "What kind of cat is this? Why is it in the mountains?"

"Are you the mountain cat the old folks always talk about? Smaller than a leopard, but your hunting ability is no less than a leopard's."

As she spoke, she put the big cat on the ground. The big cat actually bit the fish head and refused to let go. What a foodie.

Su Nuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're really willing to risk your life just for a bite of food."

She saw the bite marks on the cat's hind legs, and the wounds were beginning to fester. She said with some reluctance, "I'll help you heal them. Can you please not bite me?"
