Chapter 425

With her guilty expression, Eloise looked like a child who had just done something wrong. She wouldn't lift her head and kept wringing her hands. Anyone could tell that she was really upset. The sun had begun to set as they dejectedly returned to their cave. How were they going to plant corn without water? Were they really supposed to just dig a hole, throw some corn seeds into it, and wait for it to rain? What if they fetched water in buckets? However, the plot was 200 square yards. It would be way too much work to manually carry the water needed for it. Besides, they didn't have buckets for that. The only vessels they had were pots, enamel basins, and bowls. As night fell, the even breathing of the sleeping women echoed throughout the cave. In the middle of the night, Ryan had the sudden urge to pee. He walked out of the cave and undid his zipper. Just as he was about to pee, his bleary eyes managed to identify someone sitting by his feet. He was frightened out of his wits.
