The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 1115: 1115 third brother, I love you Chapter 1115: 1115 third brother, I love you The limited space on the thick tree trunk has her currently seated on his thigh; she looks around and says, “Third brother, we need to find a solution.

Since heaven let us survive a fall into the abyss, we certainly have no reason to freeze to death on this tree trunk extending from the cliff.”

He rummages through his sleeve pocket and pulls out a thin bamboo tube; inside are fire strikers, which are unfortunately wet and unusable now.

She also has fire strikers on her, equally soaked, and unable to ignite.

Forget about starting a fire; even if they could, where on this tree trunk, which is sitting on water, without firewood or a place to stand, could they light a fire?

Su Qingyue surveys the surrounding cliffs and says, “Third brother, the urgent matter at hand is finding a foothold and a way to start a fire.”

“Hmm,” he nods slightly.

She looks at the virtually ninety-degree vertical cliff with its uneven surface, lamenting that the stone is incredibly hard, “I really wish I could smash a hole into this cliff, but we lack tools, and even if we had them, we’re almost frozen stiff and don’t have the strength.

I’m afraid that aside from professional drilling awls, no other tool would be able to chisel out a large hole in the stubborn rock face for two people to find footing, let alone for starting a fire.”

Xiao Yuchuan surveys the surroundings while seated and says, “Wife, why do you need to dig a hole?

The foothold you’ve found right now is perfectly good, isn’t it?”

“What’s good about it?” she says.

“It’s just a bit of branch.

Our main concern is starting a fire for warmth, which is urgent. The source of this content ɪs Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt

How can we start a fire on a tree trunk?

We do have firewood.” She looks up and sees several trees growing horizontal out from the cliffs directly above and to the side.

Xiao Yuchuan points to the ‘trapezoidal’ branches they are sitting on, “Wife, you’re really getting flustered.” He points at the trees above, “If we take down some branches from the trees above, not only will we have firewood, but also a place to start a fire.

You’ve already made a ‘ladder’ arrangement that kept me from falling into the pool while asleep.

If we make a wider and denser wooden raft and lay it between the cliff and the tree trunk, we can have a better footing.

Starting a fire won’t be difficult either.

We can put some broken stones and mud from the crevices on the raft, layer it thick, and light the fire on top of this layer of mud and stones on the raft, thus giving us a spot for the fire.

It’s just that the fire strikers are wet…”

His piercing gaze shines as he looks around the rock wall and points to a stone about two meters diagonally above, “The material of that stone, if we can knock it down and break it in two, could be used as flint.”

Surprised and bright-eyed, Su Qingyue impulsively kisses Xiao Yuchuan’s face, “Third brother, I love you.

You’re truly brilliant!”

Now it’s Xiao Yuchuan’s turn to be stunned; just because he thought of a way to start a fire, she loves him…

Although she’s admitted to liking him before, this seems like the first time she’s told him she loves him.

His pale, frostbitten handsome face blushes, his heart full of her love, he whispers softly, “I love you too.”

She doesn’t seem to hear what he has said and stands up abruptly, filled with newfound hope and ready to act immediately!
