Mu Huaixi didn't bring enough medicine, so he ended up digging up some medicine from the side and mashing it into a paste. He also lost a leg of his trousers because he didn't have a bandage long enough.
It was still morning when she was taken away by the boy, but it was almost dusk when everything was settled.
Mu Huaixi was both frightened and tired, but she did not drink the water he handed her. Instead, she walked to a rock far away from the white tiger, picked up a few stones and built a stove. She used branches to support the sewn leaf tube, boiled the water, let it cool, and then drank it in small sips.
The white tiger was not as afraid of fire as she had imagined. After the young boy caught a pheasant and roasted it, the white tiger actually came over and ate a few pieces of cooked meat. Of course, it ate most of the raw food.
The crunching sound made Mu Huaixi uneasy, but she still held it back.
She knew that only by replenishing her physical strength could she have the energy to face what was to come. Although the boy had promised to send her back, there was a ferocious tiger at her side, and the boy had probably grown up in the mountains with wild beasts, so he could not be treated as an ordinary person.
Naturally, it is impossible to speculate with ordinary people's thinking.
She had been frightened before, but now she was calm. After eating, she went to the river to wash her face and fell asleep on the pile of grass prepared by the young boy.
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the forest, Mu Huaixi woke up.
The chirping of birds is melodious and pleasant, and the wind with a slight coolness and moisture brings the fragrance of grass into the nose. If there was not a white tiger chewing on grass leaves not far away, this would be a comfortable morning.
Mu Huaixi was shocked at first, and then noticed that the white tiger was eating a kind of herb that had the effect of stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis.
"It seems that all things have spirits," Mu Huaixi sighed, got up and tidied himself up, then saw the young man bringing some monkeys and bringing some fruits.
After she finished eating the fruit, she helped Baihu check the wounds on his body, and then went to the nearby forest to pick some hemostatic herbs.
"Just smash it into mud and change the medicine," Mu Huaixi demonstrated to the young man and then looked at him expectantly.
The boy smiled for the first time, then stuffed an animal skin bag into her hands and said, "Let's go, let's go back."
Mu Huaixi didn't bother to unwrap the package and looked at him in surprise, "Really?"
"Yes, yes," the boy was startled by her. He looked up at the sky and sniffed the wind. "Let's go. It's raining."
After spending some time with him, Mu Huaixi was able to guess what he meant from his intermittent words, even though the weather was clear and sunny today and there was no sign that it was going to rain.
She was carried here when she came, but it was impossible for her to be carried away when she left. Going down the mountain is often more difficult than going up. Mu Huaixi looked at the young man walking briskly in front of her, and she could not catch up with him no matter how hard she hurried.
The young man realized this a while after he set out. He was not used to stopping and starting, so he simply called a monkey to lead the way and rushed into the forest. After a while, he came out with several prey hanging on his waist, threw them all in front of her, and rushed back.
Mu Huaixi didn't know how long it took her to get here, but she followed the boy, walking and stopping, and didn't walk back to the original way back to the camp until the sun set.
Her legs and feet were sore from exhaustion, but as she looked at the young man lighting the fire and barbecuing, she knew very well that she was the one holding him back.
"Thank you," Mu Huaixi took the barbecue he handed over, but saw a sudden flash of hostility in his eyes, and then he pulled out the burning firewood and poked it hard behind her.
Mu Huaixi froze and didn't move, but she couldn't help but hear the sound of the stick piercing her flesh. The young man picked out a colorful snake thicker than her arm, and seeing her fear, he comforted her, "It's not poisonous, it's delicious."
Delicious...
She watched as the other party impatiently skinned the flower snake, hesitated for a moment before throwing the long strip of meat into the fire, and couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body.
Mu Huaixi moved her lips and rejected his invitation to taste the snake meat, and only picked up some grilled fish to eat.
I slept in a tree that night.
Even if Mu Huaixi was in a hurry to go back, she knew that she couldn't travel at night. Maybe the White Tiger boy could do it, but she would definitely become a burden.
The forest at night is extremely dangerous. You may be able to avoid foraging animals, but you cannot avoid the ubiquitous traps and alternative predators.
Perhaps he noticed her anxious mood, or perhaps he was sure that her companions were not waiting for her on the main road, so the boy took her through a shortcut the next day.
The shortcut was naturally deserted, and the boy, who could have swung around like a monkey, now cleared the way ahead with a stick.
Mu Huaixi ignored the pain in her legs and feet and tried her best to follow him, but eventually she reached a cliff.
"?"
Mu Huaixi stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the surging waves below, feeling a little confused for a moment, but he could indeed vaguely see the Red Cross flag on the opposite side, which was the logo of the medical clinic.
"Let's go." The young man jumped down from the tree on the cliff, holding a plate of vines in his arms. He pulled the vines to test it, but was in trouble when he looked at Mu Huaixi.
Mu Huaixi's heart was pounding. Could it be what she thought it meant?
With a red face, he circled around Mu Huaixi twice, suddenly grabbed the vine and jumped up the tree, swinging to the other side of the cliff before she could react, and quickly swung back.
"Just, that's it."
He slid his fingers across the cliff and then back, as if trying to convince Mu Huaixi that this was a very simple thing.
However, Mu Huaixi looked down at the deep mountain stream and swallowed.
But she still chose to try.
It was not difficult to climb up the tree. The vines were wrapped around her waist several times. She grabbed the vines, closed her eyes, and stood on tiptoe, but before she could push off, she was pushed out by the person behind her.
She gritted her teeth and dared not scream, listening to the sound of the wind and waves drowning out her heartbeat. It took her a long time to dare to open her eyes, and the other side of the cliff was already in front of her.
After crossing the cliff, her legs felt weak for a long time. This was an experience she had never imagined, but when it really happened, she found it very interesting.
The young man was still leading the way, but he stopped when passing by a grass nest.
Mu Huaixi also stopped behind him. When he blew a few whistles, monkeys ran out of the woods and stopped on the trees waiting for orders.
"This kid is really close to animals," Mu Huaixi watched him circling around the grass nest, but in his heart he was wondering whether he should prepare some anti-insect medicine for the boy. After all, his living habits seemed similar to those of wild beasts, and he was not averse to raw water or raw meat.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle interrupted her thoughts. The boy suddenly ran towards her and pulled her behind him, while the monkeys in the tree carried stones and threw them into the grass nest.
Before she could react, a muffled explosion suddenly came from the grass nest.
She looked back in panic, only to see the monkeys screaming and continuing to throw stones into the grass nest, as if they had a deep hatred for the thing that exploded.
"There's something in the ground that hurt them," the boy let go of her hand and explained briefly.
Mu Huaixi guessed that there might be a landmine in the grass nest, and that the monkeys had been accidentally injured by a landmine before, which was why they were so hateful.
