(7.3)

He had clearly hidden her last night and yet, just when she thought he would continue to hide her, he was taking her back to his people’s settlement.

Could it be that he had changed his mind again and was going to give her back to the chief?

Anger from being deceived burned inside her. She felt shame from her actions of the night before, when she was seducing him.

She used her other hand to hold on to the tree beside her and stopped moving her feet, keeping them firmly on the ground, looking up, she glared at him angrily.

Li Mang’s face flashed with a strange expression that she did not understand.

Li Mang had long since disappeared. The men were taking all kinds of tools in their hands and leaving one after the other. Some of the women were going out in groups, leaving only a few women who needed to look after the children in the settlement.

It was as if she had been forgotten here.

Li Mang had hidden her last night, but this morning he brought her back here in such a blatant manner. This seemed to be his own hut. Then it was possible that the night before, when he came back, he had successfully convinced the chief to give her back to him, even though she was already a prey belonging to the chief.

How exactly did he manage to do it?

Mu Qing sat on the ground, contemplating for a long time, but she was still unable to figure out, and she decided not to think about it anymore.

The last time she ate was the day before at noon on the canoe with Li Mang. By now, her stomach was unbearably empty. She looked through the hut, but there was nothing she could eat, and now she even started to miss that piece of venison.

Mu Qing sat back for a while. She was hungry to the point where her heart was beating frantically and her breath was short. In the end, she decided to quietly go outside and look, to see if there was anything to fill her stomach with.
