Chapter 788 - An Arduous Outing (2/2)

At this moment, she did regret leaving the house. Even if no ferocious wild beasts appeared to eat her up, simply some small poisonous creatures would be enough to claim her life.

By the time she finally reached the cave, Bai Qingqing was panting heavily as she propped her hand against the stone wall, unable to even straighten her back.

There was a layer of water droplets upon her hair and clothes, but she wasn’t soaked entirely. With a shake, more than half of that moisture fell off, and merely her pants were wet.

There wasn’t a single drop of water on the well-protected An’an.

As for the leopard cubs, they were in a disheveled state—having moved through the grass, their bodies were completely drenched. They stood at the cave entrance and shook off a large patch of water droplets.

“Little snake?” Bai Qingqing smoothed her hair and arranged her clothes as she sized up the cave and called out.

On the contrary, the cubs forgot their original intention and carefully surrounded their mother.

Roar! Roar!

Understanding what the cubs were trying to say, Bai Qingqing stroked their heads with her uninjured hand.

“Mommy is fine. Search in the cave and see if your snake brother is here.”

Roar! The cubs responded loudly, then dashed right into the cave.

Since the little snake didn’t even come out with this great commotion, seemed like he wasn’t in.

It took her so much trouble to come here, yet she didn’t get to see the little snake and was now even stuck at this cave. Bai Qingqing felt incredibly vexed right now.

Drenched from the rain, Bai Qingqing felt a tad cold. She blew upon the wound on her right hand and said, “Let’s light a fire. Babies, can you help me find some firewood?”

The cubs let out a whimper in response.

Bai Qingqing chose a windless spot in the cave, then carried a pile of soft grass and set it down beside her, before untying An’an from her chest and carefully placing her on top of it.

The cubs came to and fro ferrying dry firewood, and also brought back a flint between their jaws.

Bai Qingqing was about to try lighting a fire with the flint when An’an started flailing her tiny arms and legs. Seems like the baby was hungry.
