Chapter 801 - Winston Leaves Home (1) (2/2)
As the light rainy season ensued, the weather grew increasingly warm.
Gradually, Bai Qingqing started wearing thinner clothing, donning flowy elegant white dresses instead of thick coats.
After a few months of recovery, Bai Qingqing’s figure returned to its svelte form. Now that she was wearing light clothing, she felt much lighter from head to toe and was not quite used to it.
Parker and Winston were fully dedicated to their iron weapon-forging work. Bai Qingqing could take care of An’an all by herself now. Furthermore, with Curtis helping out at home, if she got bored she would simply bring her kids along and stroll around in the village. Although it was boring at times, it was at the same time laidback.
The only vexing thing was, every time there was a full moon, An’an would be in great torment.
Just last night, An’an had cried for the entire night. The tiny human now looked incredibly weak, and even when asleep the fatigue on her little face was evident.
There was heartache in everyone’s eyes as they surrounded An’an.
Winston stroked An’an’s reddened eyes and said, “Qingqing, I’m going to Flame City today.”
Bai Qingqing said nothing and simply gazed quietly at An’an. Only after quite a while did she get to her feet and walk to the wooden case.
“Bring along more animal skins. It’s cold at night in the desert,” Bai Qingqing said in a muffled tone with her back facing everyone.
Winston felt his heart brimming with warmth. He wasn’t planning on bringing along anything with him prior to this, but when he heard Bai Qingqing’s words, he didn’t reject the idea.
Bai Qingqing packed up for Winston and even contained about two liters of water with a porcelain jar with a fat body and a small mouth, then capped it with a wooden cork. In order to prevent breakage, she even planned to sew an animal skin cover for the jar.
Winston lowered his head and watched his spouse as she quietly sewed the animal skin, feeling an itch in his heart as though a light-weight feather had gently grazed upon it. He had an urge to pull the female before him into his arms.
“There’s no need to go to all this trouble. I usually don’t bring anything along with me when I go to Flame City. There’s an oasis over there, so I’ll get to drink water once I reach.”
Bai Qingqing glared at him. “You said you’ll have to walk for three to four days to get there. Are you planning on not drinking water all the way?”
That’s right, that was exactly what Winston had in mind. Moreover, that was what he had been doing all along.
Under the glare of his spouse, for some reason, Winston actually felt sheepish.
