~End of chapter 82

Da Wu picked up a big piece of meat from the ground, and ate it in a clean sweep. Then he looked at the piece of meat in Mu Qing’s hand somewhat greedily, it was very obvious from his expression that he had not had enough.

He needed to maintain his strength to wait for the tribe to come to his rescue, and so did Mu Qing. She also needed energy to maintain her life, and look for an appropriate opportunity to survive.

So she pretended not to see him, sat far away from him, and did her best to eat the piece of meat in her hand and swallow it into her stomach. Just in case, when Da Wu fell asleep from extreme exhaustion, she took that opportunity to hide a broken bone in the corner where she was used to sit. The bone was thick and crude, with a sharp fracture.

For the first time in three days, she ate something that made her stomach full. That made her completely ignore her sense of sight and taste.

Another night passed. When it was once again morning, Da Wu was taken out. Only one guard was left.

Mu Qing guessed that Li Mang and the others had probably prepared some things and had now rushed here to ransom Da Wu.

This would most probably not be a easy hostage exchange, so the men might have come in large numbers as a show of strength.

She immediately felt like her heart was on fire. Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

Mu Qing easily guessed the direction Da Wu was taken towards.

She walked forward following the tracks left on the path that had turned into mud because of the rain. The terrain here was very different from the one she had lived in for more than a month with Li Mang, and it looked like a gentle slope right at the foot of the mountain.

Afraid of running into the people of this tribe, she walked almost like a cat through the grass, hoping that the waist-high grass and dense trees on the side would shield her from being discovered. Very soon, she found that all the people seemed to have all disappeared off to somewhere all of a sudden, regardless of men, women, children or elderly. She passed by several empty huts, and there was still smoke going up from the just extinguished fire at the entrance of the cave.

She thought that most probably all the people here had rushed to where the hostage exchange was going to take place.

Mu Qing was anxious, almost flying with her legs as she ran along the trampled path.
