The so-called "the bed is peeled off by the feet, which is despised and will lead to misfortune" is the first line of the Mountain Peeling Hexagram in the Sixty Hexagrams. It means that ominousness has come and evil has eroded the feet of the bed. I have this feeling now, but I can't put it into words.

After the misunderstanding that happened all night, everyone was tired, so they cleaned up and went to bed. Since I needed to go out to find new food tomorrow, this was the last shift for it, and I was afraid of Song Yingchun's revengeful behavior, so I didn't dare to let it continue to guard.

Fortunately, this girl seemed to have been hit hard. She just lay there motionless, not saying a word or moving a muscle. This made me feel less worried.

Before I went to bed, Song Bailu took me outside and said to me, "The last time that girl did this, my dad and I were scared. After that, she refused to eat or drink, and quietly broke all the electrical wires in the house, forcing my dad to apologize to her. The matter was not over until she was satisfied. You have to be careful. This girl has a bad temper. If you embarrass her in front of so many people, she may retaliate against you severely."

"Is this girl born in the year of the Scorpio? She has such a terrible desire for revenge. Okay, I got it. You guys should keep an eye on her recently." I said.

Bai Lu nodded.

Afterwards I went back to bed to rest. She fell asleep with her back to me, without saying a word. I felt a chill in my heart, so I also turned my back to her. I slept very uneasy that night.

When I woke up and took over, the first thing I did was to check the surroundings. Fortunately, everything was fine. I went back to the house and waited for everyone to wake up. After eating the stewed venison, I prepared to go out and find some food.

I put on the deerskin coat that Yunwen had sewn for me, slung my backpack over my shoulder, took my bayonet, and prepared to go out. Before leaving, Song Bailu looked after Song Yingchun for me, while Yunwen walked me all the way to the gate of the fence, keeping her head down and saying nothing.

"Be careful of Song Yingchun and don't let her destroy our hard-earned achievements. Everything here is the result of everyone's hard work. You must help me keep an eye on this side of the room." I said.

"Well, don't worry, leave it to me and Sister Bailu, you go early and come back early..." Yunwen said, holding my hand again, with a reluctant look in her eyes.

She came up to me and hugged me tightly, because she knew that any time I left could be my last action, so she was more worried than any other girl.

"You should also protect yourself. It's not much safer inside the house than outside. I'm really sorry. Because of me, the relationship between the people in the house has become tense, and your situation has become embarrassing and dangerous. It's my fault." I said.

She raised her head, shook her head at me, and said in a very lovely manner, "It was also my fault that I didn't pay attention that night, which led to Sister Yingchun's misunderstanding. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear, and things will eventually pass. When you go out now, don't be affected by these things, and be more focused, so that you can ensure your own safety."

I nodded, and she slowly let go of me and kept watching me walk out. I walked quite far away and then turned around to see her slowly going back to the other end of the house.

Why do I feel like a new soldier joining the army and leaving my newlywed wife at home...

Putting aside all the sadness, just like Yunwen said, only by concentrating now can I have a higher chance of survival. Too many thoughts in my mind will inevitably affect my performance, and a small mistake may be the difference between life and death.

This time, I was not so afraid of the appearance of Bigfoot. This guy didn't kill me last time, but gave me fish and asked me to reset his dislocated hand bones. Therefore, my terrible impression of him was a little better.

But it doesn't mean I will be so lucky every time, so I try not to encounter it if possible. What I am more worried about now is that it is a mysterious creature that can move freely in the trees and hunt prey, and it must be very heavy. After all, the thick branches have traces of being broken, and it is definitely not something to be trifled with.

If I provoke a pack of wolves, I can avoid disaster by hiding in a tree. At least for the sake of survival, the wolves will not stay in one place to guard me. I can run away when I get a chance. But if they can hunt me in a tree, that’s a different story. I can’t avoid it if I encounter them.

I walked forward all the way, passed through tall trees and jujube trees, and arrived at the fault. I climbed up and entered a dangerous path. I deliberately walked close to the mountain wall, trying not to let Bigfoot notice my arrival. Then I entered the snake cave, crossed it, and arrived at the dangerous area.

This place is still covered with snow, and it looks pale and vast. However, unlike last time, there are sparse footprints on the snow, which aroused my interest. This means that I will not gain nothing here this time. I followed the footprints forward, walked along the trees, and then slowly followed the footprints, but found that the footprints were covered with blood and became more and more flustered.

It can be seen that these are some kind of hoof prints. There are two protruding lines from the front hooves, and two shorter finger prints on the side. This kind of footprint has many similarities with the footprints commonly seen in rural areas. It should be some kind of wild boar. Judging from the distance between the four hoof prints, it should be some kind of pig creature that lives here.

However, wild boars usually live in groups, but there was only one wild boar's footprint here. I thought it must have been alone, and seeing more and more bloodstains around its footprints, I thought it must have been hunted by some creature and ran towards the bushes.

I was also frightened by what I saw, but there was nothing I could do. To survive the harsh winter, I had to find opportunities to actively look for food. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

As we went further, the footprints became more and more messy, scattered and disorderly, with different directions. It was obvious that they were in danger and moved impatiently.

I could already smell a strong smell of blood. I squatted down and touched some with my finger. The blood was not completely cold, so it was obvious that this tragedy had happened not long ago. I immediately drew my bayonet and looked around, then hid behind a tree to avoid danger.

At this time, the bushes in front of me began to rustle sparsely, and my hearing immediately recognized that it was the footsteps of a wolf. I still remember that rhythm clearly, after all, I had been through that life and death situation.

I immediately climbed up the tree without hesitation. Several wolves pounced on me quickly, but missed me and made angry howls below. This situation was within my expectations, so I was not particularly scared.

I moved slightly towards the thick branch so that I could stand firmly, while the wolves were watching from below, a few of them were responsible for squatting and waiting for me, while the rest were watching from a distance.

Then I seemed to find something strange when I got to this end. Why did this tree look familiar? It was not until I saw the slightly broken part that I realized that I had returned to the tree where I found the jade necklace, and the dark red dyed part on the branch was still so conspicuous.

"What a coincidence? Am I so destined to this tree?" I couldn't help but ask myself.

Just as I was feeling a little emotional, the branches above me started to make a creaking sound, with an eerie sound...

And then an incredible scene appeared. The wolves crouching below made alert growls in their throats, bared their teeth at the tree tops, revealing their sharp teeth, and their bodies were covered with hair standing on end!

One, two, three drops of blood dripped onto my head, sticky and smelly. I looked up, trembling, and saw a tragically dead wild boar, staring at me with its big eyes. There was a big bite on its neck, and the wound was deep. It must have been in great pain before dying. I covered my mouth, knowing that there must be some terrible hunter coming from above, so I dared not move or breathe.

The branches above my head creaked a few more times, and then stopped. Except for the sounds of a few wolves below, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that my scalp tingled...
