Chapter 862: Eat It Or Not

Su Xiaoling did not answer.

Wei Ling couldn’t help but whimper. She closed her eyes numbly and bit her lip.

“If Mother is hungry, the gra.s.s roots beside you can be eaten.”

Su Xiaoling’s voice came from afar.

After that, there was no more sound.

Wei Ling’s gaze landed on the gra.s.s around her. Eat gra.s.s roots? How?

These were all eaten by cows and horses. How could she eat them?

Betting her life was the most regrettable thing she’d ever done in her life.

At this moment, there was already a commotion outside.

When Dou Fu found out that the empress and the crown prince consort had fallen off the cliff and disappeared, she wanted to go down the cliff to take a look. However, the temple monk said that the cliff was thousands of feet high and was connected to the foreign land below. She could not go down.

Dou Fu suspected that it was the empress’s plan, but even she herself fell down.

Dou Fu didn’t have time to guess either. A few days ago, there were still messenger pigeons, but now that the pigeons couldn’t be found, she immediately went down the mountain and returned to the capital overnight.

At dawn, she arrived at Guiyuan Academy. She could not hide her panic and said to Su Xiaolu, “Fourth Miss, Young Lady fell off the cliff.”

Su Xiaolu frowned. “What’s going on? Wasn’t everything fine a few days ago?”

Today was the day they would return. Yesterday morning, the letter of safety had also arrived. Why did something still happen?

Dou Fu swallowed and told her what had happened.

Su Xiaolu frowned and said to Dou Fu, “Go back to the palace and tell the Crown Prince to leave the palace in an hour to meet me.”

Her sister had fallen off the cliff with the empress. No matter what, they had to find her.

Dou Fu nodded.

After Dou Fu left, Su Xiaolu immediately went out. If she wanted to enter the foreign land, she needed help. It was best to have Little Niu accompany her.

Fortunately, Junior Brother was teaching in the academy.

Su Xiaoling walked far away. She was afraid that she would get lost in the wilderness, so she made marks along the way. These marks were convenient for her to find her way back.

There were many snakes and insects in this forest. Along the way, she was vigilant, so she avoided many snakes and insects.

She finally found a small cliff cave. The hole was not big, but it was not small either. It was enough to accommodate four or five people. It was enough for her and Wei Ling.

The rock layers were considered clean. The top was filled with trees, and so was the bottom. This small cliff was not tall, about twenty feet.

She was not in a hurry to pick Wei Ling up. Instead, she found some dry gra.s.s to pave the way inside and picked up some dry firewood to put away.

Seeing that it was already afternoon, she returned to pick Wei Ling up.

She was also very tired today, so on the way back, when she encountered a snake, she stabbed the snake’s sea of consciousness with her mental strength and brought it along after stabbing it to death.

There were many snakes and insects, but she did not encounter rabbits.

Snake meat was edible too.

Su Xiaoling returned. Before she could approach, she heard Wei Ling’s frightened voice. “Su Xiaoling, is that you?”

Su Xiaoling replied calmly, “Yes.”

Wei Ling heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the answer.

Looking at the sky, it was probably almost past midnight. Wei Ling thought that Su Xiaoling would not come back, but she did not expect her to come back.

Apart from joy, there was extreme embarra.s.sment.

Wei Ling’s face was terrifyingly pale. She found it difficult to move. From yesterday to today, going to the toilet was a big problem.

After Su Xiaoling left, she couldn’t hold it in anymore, but she couldn’t move far.

She was the empress. She was already so embarra.s.sed that she wanted to die immediately.

Now that Su Xiaoling was back, she would definitely see her. What would she think of her?

Wei Ling closed her eyes in despair. She grabbed the weeds beside her tightly and her body trembled slightly.

She heard footsteps, but she didn’t even have the courage to open her eyes. Would Su Xiaoling mock her?

For the first time, Wei Ling had the thought of not wanting to live.

However, Su Xiaoling didn’t care about this at all. She casually threw the snake aside and began to dig for gra.s.s roots beside Wei Ling.

She had said that these gra.s.s roots could be eaten, but Wei Ling had never touched them.

Su Xiaoling did not have the time to guess why she did not move. Anyway, there was no time today. With this snake and some gra.s.s roots, it was enough.

As for Wei Ling’s excrement, Su Xiaoling naturally saw it. She didn’t think anything of it. Everyone excretes. Wei Ling wasn’t a superpower users. This was normal. It was already very good that she didn’t dirty herself.

However, Wei Ling was so arrogant and was born a n.o.ble person. This probably made her so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die.

She didn’t even need to say anything. Wei Ling tortured herself to death.

It was obvious from her trembling body.

Su Xiaoling dug up a lot of gra.s.s roots. She shook the soil clean from the roots and wiped it on the hem of her skirt. She chewed it in her mouth. It was sweet and instantly made her mouth feel satisfied.

Wei Ling opened her eyes, trembling. She saw that Su Xiaoling was actually eating gra.s.s roots. Her throat felt dry and painful. She wanted to speak, but she couldn’t.

Su Xiaoling handed one over. Wei Ling was a little hesitant, but seeing Su Xiaoling’s gaze, she was afraid that if she hesitated again, Su Xiaoling would not give it to her. She took it with trembling hands and Su Xiaoling stopped looking at her. She focused on handling the gra.s.s roots and tied them into small bundles.

Wei Ling put the gra.s.s root into her mouth and chewed it with a complicated expression.

It could really be eaten. She thought that Su Xiaoling was spouting nonsense. She had never had a hard life. As far as she knew, no one ate gra.s.s roots.

Therefore, for the entire day, she was hungry and groggy. She also broke down several times because of her excrement.

This made her mouth no longer bitter. She couldn’t help but look at Su Xiaoling.

Su Xiaoling braided her hair neatly. She looked focused and determined. Wei Ling saw the headless snake.

She pursed her lips, her thoughts surging. She couldn’t help but say, “Did you learn all this when you were young?”

Su Xiaoling packed the things up and replied calmly, “Yes.”

During the worst years of their family’s life, they couldn’t even eat the snake meat they killed.

But she knew what to eat.

She had so much work to do, so how could she have the time to dig for gra.s.s roots? She only quietly pulled a few strands and chewed them in her mouth.

After Su Xiaoling packed her things, she tied Wei Ling with vines again and carried her on her back.

Wei Ling watched Su Xiaoling walk with a stick. She saw many small wounds on her hand. Wei Ling didn’t feel good.

She did not strangle Su Xiaoling. Occasionally, she would see branches coming at her. She reached out and brushed them away.

When it was almost dark, Su Xiaoling carried Wei Ling to the small cliff cave.

She placed Wei Ling on the hay and went to start the fire.

Without flint, she could only use the most primitive method, drilling wood to start a fire.

This process was very difficult. One had to keep rubbing their hands.

Su Xiaoling’s hands were already covered in blood.

It was already completely dark. Wei Ling’s voice was dry.. She couldn’t help but say, “Su Xiaoling, why don’t I try?”
