(13.2)

Mu Qing got up from the ground and poked her head outside to take a look. She saw that Li Mang was walking hurriedly towards the southern direction of the settlement. The tall figure very quickly disappeared into the dense shadow of the night.

Mu Qing did not know what he was going to do now but fortunately pretending to have abdominal pain actually worked and stopped him from doing what he was going to do next.

That made her temporarily relieved. She was also glad that the man was not a complete barbarian. She did not know how long she could use this trick, she only hoped that when these days of danger passed, next month when those days come back, if she had good luck, by that time, she would have retrieved the compass that he had hidden, and found a way out of here.

Mu Qing straightened her clothes, curled herself up on the animal skin, and stopped moving.

The sound of hurried footsteps resounded outside, it sounded like two people were coming in this direction. Mu Qing tensely shrank herself and continued to emit constant moaning sounds from her throat.

While Mu Qing was hesitating whether to show a painful expression again, all of a sudden she was stupefied.

She saw the old woman pick up a bowl from the ground behind her, and inside the bowl was some kind of unknown black juice. She put her index finger in it and stirred it, then prayed toward heaven for a while, before handing the bowl to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing instantly understood. Li Mang had invited this old woman most probably because she was the witch doctor of the settlement. According to her understanding, she was probably the kind of person that could communicate with the ghosts and the gods, and also make remedies, she might even serve as a midwife when the women here give birth.

Mu Qing subconsciously shrank a little further, she did not dare to drink the stuff in this bowl.

The old woman grinned at her and said a few words to her. But the look of her smile under the light of the burning torch looked extremely creepy.

Mu Qing shook her head desperately.
