~End of chapter 8

Mu Qing just kept sitting on the ground with her head bowed, letting him roar, while she wrapped her hands around her ribs to slowly probe.

She was afraid that her ribs had really been broken, in that case, it would really not be a joke.

She touched all around, but it wasn’t as painful as just before.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Probably because he had noticed her movements, the man stopped yelling and squatted down in front of her.

Mu Qing hurriedly removed her hands from her ribs and stood up at once, only to find out that her legs were still shaking. But she was still able to stand.

Although the man was carrying the large bird on his shoulders, which was probably weighing around one hundred kilos, but he was walking very fast, for every step he took, Mu Qing had to walk two steps to keep up with.

All the way, she had been trying very hard to keep up, but gradually she fell behind, about twenty meters were separating them.

With this kind of distance in such a dense forest, one could get lost in a blink of an eye.

A little dejected, Mu Qing gritted her teeth and directly started running to catch up with him.

Probably because he heard the sound of her footsteps behind him stepping over the dead leaves, he turned around to look at her, and started walking at a slower pace.

Mu Qing told herself that he was probably also be a little tired, which was why he was slowing down the pace.

At first, Mu Qing thought that she had managed to escape quite far away, but making the trip back, she found out that, just then, she actually had not run very far away at all. It was probably even less than one kilometer away.

Seeing yet again that big tree with the wooden house, Mu Qing quickly walked a few steps, before suddenly and heavily dropping on the ground that was covered with dead leaves. Leaning back against a tree stump, she let out a long breath.

Being back to the place where she had stayed one night, it surprised her to find out that she seemed to feel a sense of security about this place in her heart.
