Mu Qing didn't sleep all night. In the first half of the night, he squinted his eyes and pretended to sleep. In the second half of the night, he opened his eyes and watched the few inches of moonlight that faintly filtered through the roof.

She thought for almost a night, wondering why she ended up in such a situation after being struck by lightning, and where on earth was she? Could it be that there are still savages living in the hinterland of the vast primeval forest, and the man lying sprawled next to him is exactly the kind of legendary savage? As for why she woke up in a trap again, only God knows.

She later accepted the explanation. Although this explanation seemed far-fetched even to her.

At dawn, she finally fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already bright outside.

She was still lying on the haystack, her hands and feet tied. The man was sitting next to her, looking through her backpack.

Although Mu Qing's limbs were a little numb and he wanted to stretch his body immediately, he remained motionless and only opened his eyes slightly to look at her secretly.

There is a buckle protecting the zipper closure of her backpack. Mu Qing saw the man pull it open and tried to pull it open, but it didn't move. She broke it off again with her hands and kept fiddling with it. Just when she thought he would break the buckle with brute force, there was a click and the button came loose. He held the zipper handle, opened the backpack, and poured out the contents, scattering them all over the floor.

The man looked very curious. The first thing I picked up was the survival whistle she had blown. I imitated her and put it in my mouth, and blew it hard. It seemed that it was fun, and I blew it for a dozen times before stopping. I picked up the compass and flashlight again, looked at them for a while, and then threw them away. I only turned over my cell phone and wallet and didn't move it. I only picked up the Swiss Army knife, fumbled for a long time, and finally pinched the protruding blade. He actually pulled out the main knife.

He scraped the blade of the main knife against the palm of his hand, looking very excited. Soon he displayed the remaining tweezers, scissors, descaling knife, saw blade, etc. in the same way, and fiddled with them for a long time. Then he pushed it back carefully.

Seemingly noticing the peeping eyes from behind, he suddenly looked back at Mu Qing. Mu Qing was startled and quickly closed his eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the man had already opened the telescope and looked through it over and over in his hands. Finally, he brought his eyes to the two holes, as if he wanted to look inside. He held it in the opposite direction, let out a slight sigh, thought for a moment, turned it over again, and looked from the other direction. This time, he was obviously surprised, and the telescope fell from his hand to the ground.

The telescope body is made of aluminum alloy, which is light and strong. Such a fall will naturally have no impact. Mu Qing saw him pick it up again, bent down and walked out of the wooden house door, probably standing on the branches outside and looking out.

She heard a loud yell coming from him outside. The cry was extremely frightening, yet extremely exciting. When he came back, he had the telescope hanging on his chest and his expression looked very satisfied.

When Mu Qing saw him looking in her direction, he quickly closed his eyes again. Suddenly she felt a pain in her buttocks. The man reached out to pat her, then opened his eyes and sat up.

The man murmured a series of words. Mu Qing was confused for a while. Seeing that there seemed to be some displeasure in his eyes, he nodded hurriedly.

The man seemed a little relaxed now and took off the rope from her hand. There is a circle of deep bruises around the wrist. Mu Qing didn't dare rub it in front of him.

The man tied her feet with a rope to a wooden pillar in the wooden house. The wooden house was a bit short, so he bent down when he stood up. He said something to Mu Qing and pointed outside.

Mu Qing understood a little this time, and guessed that he wanted to go out, and he probably ordered her to stay here and not escape.

Mu Qing nodded vigorously.

The man hummed in his throat, turned around and went out.

Mu Qing finally let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly rubbed his wrists, which were already itchy and numb from being tied up. Just as he was thinking about what to do next, suddenly the light in the room dimmed, and the man leaned over and appeared at the door again.

Mu Qing paused and looked at him motionless. I saw him throwing a few of the coconut-like things I drank last night in front of me, as well as a few wild fruits. After doing this, the man disappeared.

This should be the real departure.

Mu Qing waited for a moment. There was no movement around, and the only sounds left in his ears were the chirping of various birds awakened by the morning sunlight in the forest outside.

She immediately reached out and untied the restraints on her feet, rubbed them for a while, and then tried to stand up when she felt her blood was flowing again. The roof was barely level with her.

Mu Qing walked out of the wooden door, stood on the branches and looked around. There was no edge of dense forest in sight. The ground was covered with ferns that were taller than her and other shrubs that she didn't recognize. The sunlight occasionally shone from tall and dense trees. The light was not very bright coming from the gaps at the top of the tree crown.

The air was unusually fresh and moist, with a slight fishy smell, which was the smell of animal carcasses and plants rotting in the soil.

Mu Qing made a decision quickly.

She couldn't communicate with the savage, and even if she could, she couldn't see the possibility that he would send her back to the civilized world.

She estimated that she should be in the hinterland of the primeval forest. If so, she relied on the compass and luck. If she was lucky enough, she would not be eaten by beasts and snakes along the way, and kept walking south. You should be able to walk out of the dense forest and return to the edge of the forest before the accident.

Rather than sit here and be a prisoner of the savages, she would rather give it a try, even if there is a risk of losing her life.

Even if she stayed here, she could not guarantee that the savage would not execute her later.

She bent back to the cabin.

Fortunately, the man only took away the telescope. Returning the remaining items, especially the compass, is now very important to her.

She put everything into her bag and stuffed the fruits into it. After leaving the wooden house, she lowered her head and looked down, and then she noticed that the fork of the branch was actually higher than she originally thought, about five or six meters high. Although the ground was not hard, she didn't want to risk injury by jumping down.

She tied the rope to a thigh-thick branch, climbed the rope herself, and climbed down slowly by stepping on the depression in the thick bark of the trunk.

Mu Qing followed the direction of the north compass and headed south.

There are no roads on the ground, and ferns and large trees are everywhere with intertwined and protruding roots. Some even overlap like a hill, with thick slippery moss attached to them and strange-shaped insects and ants infested. Mu Qing moved forward slowly and laboriously.

As noon approached, the forest became very hot and muggy. Mu Qing was sweating profusely with every step he took, and he could hardly breathe. Along the way, she was surprised by countless strange-looking animals that she swore she had never seen before, just like... She would occasionally glance at the prehistoric animals that had long been extinct on earth in the science column. Fortunately, they were all smaller than her, so most of them were startled by her and flew away.

Mu Qing felt thirsty for a long time. Too much sweat had already taken away the moisture in her body, and her clothes stuck tightly to her body, making her very uncomfortable. When she was so thirsty that her mouth was about to burn, she finally stopped, leaned against a section of the big tree protruding from the root, and took out a coconut-like fruit from her backpack.

She doesn't have the strength of that man and can break it open with her hands. She has a knife. Fortunately the man only took the binoculars with him.

She pushed the tip of the knife into the hard shell, and it took a long time to open a small crack. This is enough.

She put her mouth close to the slit and slowly sucked the juice flowing out from inside. Although she wanted to drink it all in one go, her body would excrete the excess water after absorption, which was a complete waste of a lot of water. She couldn't afford to waste it.

She took a few sips, closed her mouth and swallowed it slowly. After a while, she took a few more sips, closed her eyes and felt the comfort of her mouth, tongue and throat being slowly moistened by moisture.

She put the still-moist fruit back into her backpack. After resting just now, her body felt that she had regained some strength. She was about to get up and head south again when she suddenly smelled a strong fishy smell, rushing towards her like a gust of wind.

In the dense forest in front of her, a huge bird emerged from nowhere.

She never dreamed that such a huge bird existed in the world. It was all gray, standing at least two meters tall, with a head as big as a horse, a pair of arms with claws growing out of its wings, and a bird's beak that was a bit thicker than her arms.

She noticed that its abdomen seemed to be injured, and some dark red blood was flowing down its legs and claws, which were thicker than her waist. But this didn't stop it from coming over and holding itself down with its claws, and tearing her apart with its hooked mouth.

Mu Qing was a little scared. The big bird had already spotted her, and a pair of dark eyes were staring at her coldly as he slowly walked towards her.

She only had the saber in her hand. But using this knife to deal with this bird is obviously a fantasy.

Her mouth, which had just felt moisturized just now, suddenly became dry again.

Mu Qing stood up slowly, trying not to let Big Bird notice her intention to escape. Then, when she was ready, she turned sharply and bolted.

She went in the direction where the vegetation was lush.

The big bird is too big and may be blocked by lush vegetation, but she can escape by taking advantage of her smaller size.

But she was wrong.

The strange bird spread its wings like two iron wings, and the branches that were entangled along the road were swept and broken by it.

It must have been very hungry and found its prey, so it chased after it desperately.

Mu Qing tried her best to escape, but her speed was obviously no match for the bird that lived among her. She had already heard the sound getting closer and closer behind her, and was even hit **** the back of the head by a tree branch that the big bird used to break off its wings.

Mu Qing tripped over a protruding tree root and fell to the ground.

The big bird caught up quickly.

She smelled the birdy smell again, and felt the pressure of a heavy object on the back of her head.

She used her strength and rolled to the side suddenly.

The big bird pecked the ground and splashed a piece of sawdust.

Although Mu Qing escaped the blow just now, he was stuck between the roots of the tree and could not move.

The big bird was knocked into the air with one blow. It must have been a little angry. It raised its beak and pecked at Muqing again.

Mu Qing cannot dodge.

She suddenly regretted that she should have stayed in the wooden house just now. The man might hurt himself, but he might be able to save his life.

It was too late.

She let out a scream.

There was a sound of sharp objects tearing through the air, followed by a dull pop.

The big bird did not peck her. Instead, it stood motionless.

Mu Qing raised his head tremblingly and saw that a spear-like object had been inserted through the chest of the big bird, like a big turkey on the grill.

The big bird softened and fell towards the root of the tree, just on top of Mu Qing.

Mu Qing felt a sharp pain, his vision went dark, he couldn't see anything, and his nose was filled with the strong smell of the feathers of the big bird.
