You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 300 What Do You Want Me To Do

Worried that the scent would attract predators nearby, he wasted no time. He strode fast to the shore and started skinning it.

Meanwhile, Bai Rong stacked up stones to create a wall. This was to ward off the wind so that they could start a fire.

Due to the heavy rain the night before, most of the twigs and branches were soaked. After collecting a bunch of them, she left them out to dry under the sun.

Gu Mingchen noticed she was getting a sunburn. He reflexively handed her the umbrella. After making sure she was fine, he started crafting the tools to start a fire.

He began by making two holes in a piece of wood. Next, he inserted a thin rope into the holes. All Bai Rong had to do was pull the ends of the rope in a rotating motion. The repeated friction would eventually start a fire.

This was far more efficient than starting a fire with their own hands.

Once again, they were lucky. She could start one within an hour.

Meanwhile, Gu Mingchen had drained the blood and butchered off the boar’s head.

Since this was his first time, he was not sure what to do with its head. He decided to wrap it up and bury it later.

Bai Rong walked up to him.

He had cut open the boar’s stomach, revealing its inside. Looking at the gross mess, he suggested, “Let’s just eat its meat. I don’t really eat intestines anyway.”

Bai Rong contemplated for a moment. She had experience cooking animal intestines. However, they lacked the proper ingredients and tools. Even if she tried, it was impossible to get rid of its strong odor.

“All right. Just the meat.”

Hearing her, he cleared the intestines into the same bag with the head.

She interjected, “Leave the suet. We can use it to substitute oil. We might find some vegetables to fry. Oh, and the pig’s heart as well.”

He was slightly taken aback by her instructions.
