Chapter 2532: Daily Foraging
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
If Ning Shu went into a task world where the original host was literate, she too would get the ability to read the scripts that the original host could read. This was the general rule of thumb.
In this world, though Ning Shu could speak the language of this task world, she could not read in their language.
She also didn’t know yet whether Alviss could really read or not.
There was another matter that troubled Ning Shu much more than this. She had realized that, whenever she was out and found something, someone would come to snatch whatever she’d found away from her. This made her suspect that they were following her on purpose.
Whenever she was scavenging, Ning Shu would avoid meeting other people. If she happened to, anyway, she would go to another place and dig there, instead. After all, there was plenty of garbage to go around.
Each time she found something, though, someone would always come to take it away from her.
As she stared at the familiar faces of the little brats, Ning Shu only had one thing on her mind: Couldn’t they just go rob someone else? Why couldn’t they stop singling her out?
In the face of evil, if you couldn’t run away, then you just had to fight.
Ning Shu pulled out her wire and stabbed at them. She got several of them, and they clutched their hurt shoulders and screamed in pain.
Maybe it was because she’d had to run a lot recently, her body had become tempered. She didn’t get as out of breath as she used to.
“You, you…!” One of the little brats pointed at Ning Shu. “You just wait—”
Ning Shu raised the wire in her hand and pointed it forward. “This time, I’ve only stabbed your arms. I’ll pierce your eyes the next time we meet!”
“Hmph!”
The little brats lifted their heads and gave Ning Shu a dirty look before running away.
Ning Shu went back home with a book and some filthy food.
Her daily life now consisted of digging up trash and massaging Alviss’ legs.
Occasionally, Vivian would come over. She would bring some food for Alviss, although it was all dirty and expired.
After living in this world for a while, Ning Shu could conclude that Vivian definitely had feelings for Alviss.
She saw it but didn’t say anything about it. However, in her heart, she thought: If Alviss really got together with Vivian, then she would have to sleep alone. She would be so cold…
No, the current Alviss and Vivian were only about ten years old.
They were still very young. There was still time.
Ning Shu made a floury paste from bread that she’d dug out from the garbage dump. Then, she boiled it to disinfect it.
Ning Shu and Alviss ate only one meal every day. They were always hungry, and it was a miracle that they hadn’t died of starvation yet.
Alviss looked at the book that Ning Shu picked up. He looked very serious as he read it, and this made Ning Shu a little suspicious. Was Alviss actually literate?
How could someone look at pictures that seriously?
After Ning Shu ate, she went to the river to fetch water. She had so many chores to do…
The water level had dropped by a lot. The extremely high temperature during the day had caused much of the water to evaporate.
Moreover, although Ning Shu had been in this world for quite a while, she had yet to see it rain.
If this continued, at one point, the river would dry up and there would be no more water.
Ning Shu thought about it using logic based on her previous worldview. Since this place was hot during the day and cold at night, the cold air should have turned into water droplets and it should rain.
Still, it didn’t rain.
Ning Shu filled the water tank full of water. The water was, of course, muddy.
She was really worried about running out of water to drink, so she went out to find another large water tank and brought it back so she could fill it with water.
Ning Shu didn’t like running back and forth carrying just a single pot, so she found another one and carried them both by balancing them with a pole on her shoulder.
This way, she could fill two pots of water in one trip.
After filling up the water tanks, Ning Shu filtered the water with charcoal and boiled it to make drinkable water, which she and Alviss could drink when they got thirsty.
Alviss looked at the busy Ning Shu and asked, “Aren’t I useless? I need you just to survive.”
Ning Shu couldn’t answer this question.
If she said ‘no’, it was the truth that Alviss did nothing to support their household. There was nothing that he could do except stay at home, considering his situation.
However, if she said ‘yes’, she would be poking at Alviss’ sore spot. It wasn’t as if he knew what was wrong with his leg and could fix it, anyway.
Besides, Alviss would usually pour water for her whenever she came home. Because of this, she could drink water as soon as she came back home.
He had done the most that he could do in his situation.
Alviss lowered his head and said, “Sister, don’t force yourself. I know that I’m a burden to you.”
Ning Shu shook her head. “You’re not a burden to me. You’re my pillar. Look, Alviss, don’t you see? We’re mutually supporting each other to live and survive on this planet. In the future, we’ll leave this place together.”
