Dawu looked very surprised when he saw Mu Qing, but soon, he was roughly pushed a few steps away from Mu Qing and fell to the ground.

The man who looked like a leader came to Dawu and exchanged words. Dawu glared at him and seemed to be cursing. The man didn't say much. He just pulled out the bone knife from Dawu's waist, grabbed his ear with one hand, and cut it off with force. One ear was separated from his body in the blink of an eye.

The bone blade is not sharp enough to cut off the ear with one knife, it is clearly half-cut and half-teared off. Dawu let out a scream that sounded like the bottom of hell, and his shoulders were quickly stained with blood.

Mu Qing was so shocked that he could no longer make a sound and just shrank himself into the corner of the cave. She wanted to close her eyes, but her eyes seemed to have lost control, and she just stared at Dawu, who was lying on the ground in convulsions.

The leader wrapped his ears in a piece of animal skin and threw them to the black-scarred man next to him. The man with the black scar took it, stood up immediately, and disappeared into the dark night outside the cave with the other man. The others' eyes were shining with excitement, and they gathered around and talked non-stop. Mu Qing occasionally heard the words "fur" and "millet seeds". That was often mentioned in the settlement.

The fire gradually extinguished. The snoring started. Except for one who sat vigil at the entrance of the cave, the other men fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Dawu moaned intermittently at first, but gradually became silent and lay motionless on the ground. Mu Qing estimated that he fainted due to excessive blood loss and his life was probably still intact.

Her mind gradually became clearer in the darkness. Recalling the actions of this group of people and the few words she could catch, they most likely asked the black-scarred man and his companions to send a message to the Limang tribe, asking for furs and food in exchange for their leader. The token is one of Dawu's ears.

This tribe is full of violence and brutality. This can be seen in what they eat. They would roast the meat over the fire, but it would not be cooked. This is probably just because they are used to eating things that smell like blood. She didn't know why it was such a coincidence that they happened to appear near her and Dawu, and it seemed like they were following them all the way. But no matter what, it seems that her and Dawu's lives should be safe for the time being, and judging from the black-scarred man who was kicked away before, she doesn't have to worry about being violated for the time being, regardless of what she can think of what is this.

At dawn, it started pouring rain. The group did not delay their trip because of the bad weather and continued on the road with Mu Qing and Da Wu. It wasn't until it got dark again that they arrived, because they saw many people approaching.

Before Mu Qing had time to take another look, he was carried along with Dawu and locked into what looked like a cave again. It was pitch dark inside, but it still felt like it wasn't very big, and it was filled with a pungent stench.

Mu Qing hasn’t eaten a bite since yesterday. Fortunately, it had been raining today. She opened her mouth to catch a lot of rainwater and drank it. She found that she was not thirsty. The extreme hunger had passed, and coupled with the stench of the air here, she didn't feel hungry, but she felt weak all over, and her soaked clothes clung to her body, making her very uncomfortable. I don’t know where I dropped my shoes, and my feet are now bare.

She didn't know what was going on with Dawu, and now she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to look, it was pitch dark inside. She just called a few tentative calls, and after a while, she heard a few responses from him not far away. Although she didn't have much strength, it still sounded like she was still alive.

In the dark, she took off her clothes and pants, squeezed out the water with all her strength, and then put them back on. She felt tired and wanted to rest against the wall of the cave. When she fell asleep, time would pass more quickly. As I sat on the ground and slowly groped my way back, my back hit something and made a sound, as if a pile of things collapsed. He reached out and touched it, and found a smooth cylindrical object. He didn't know what it was, so he threw it away and found another empty corner. He leaned there and slowly closed his eyes.

She fell asleep thinking about Li Mang.

When Mu Qing opened his eyes, the sky was already slightly brighter and his head felt a little heavy. I used the entrance of the cave to let in the morning light and looked around. I saw that it was indeed a low cave, not deep, and it looked very dirty. The ground was dark, as if there was a layer of greasy stuff, and I couldn't tell what it was. When I saw a pool of dark red blood near the entrance of the cave, I suddenly realized that it must be thick layers of accumulated blood accumulated over the years. No wonder I smelled such a stench when I was thrown in last night. And she also knew what she hit last night. A large pile of animal bones. It looks like this is a place dedicated to slaughter.

Dawu is sitting on the ground near the entrance of the cave with his eyes closed. The blood stains on his body were washed away by yesterday's rain, but the wounds on his head and ears began to turn white and swell. His face looked as bad as a dead person.

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't get close. In fact, even if she got close, she couldn't help him at all.

Dawu seemed to feel her looking at him and suddenly opened his eyes.

Mu Qing was a little surprised. She originally thought he was going to die, but now it didn't look like it. His eyes were still very bright, at least much better than she had imagined.

To a certain extent, perhaps the perseverance and tenacity of the people here are completely incomparable to modern people like her.

Dawu only glanced at her briefly and closed his eyes.

Mu Qing ignored him and just continued to look at the place.

She was suddenly startled.

She seemed to see something that looked like a human skull among the pile of animal bones, and she immediately went over to pick it out.

She may not be able to recognize other parts of the human bones, but this is indeed a human skull, with several hollows on the face staring directly at her.

Mu Qing threw the skull back to the ground, feeling numb in his heart.

Human bones and animal bones are mixed here. Does this mean that if there is a lack of food, this tribe will also eat the captives as food? The long bones on the ground had been artificially severed, obviously cracked open in order to **** out the marrow inside.

She had an intuition that people here would not mention her when they went to deliver letters. If Dawu is redeemed, she will be the only one left. If Li Mang didn't know her whereabouts, she wouldn't expect Da Wu to take the initiative to tell him this.

Then there are only two ways left for her, either to give birth to a child for a certain man here, or to be eaten as food.

Mu Qing felt that he could not think anymore, so he walked towards the entrance of the cave on the slippery and sharp stone surface.

She needs a distraction. If you continue to think like this, you will really go crazy.

Although the rain stopped, the sky outside was still gloomy.

Outside the cave is a bare open space with some stones piled up, and looking beyond is a jungle. And there were two people standing nearby, guards.

I really don’t see any merit.

During the day, the guard brought food once. They were two pieces that looked like they had been roasted on the fire, but when the surface was torn open, there was still blood and flesh inside.

Dawu picked up a larger piece of meat from the ground and ate it almost like a whirlwind. Then he looked at the piece on Mu Qing's hand greedily, his expression obviously not enough.

He needs to maintain his strength and wait for rescue from the tribe, and Mu Qing does the same. She also needs energy to maintain her life and find suitable survival opportunities.

So she pretended not to see it, sat down far away from him, and ate the piece of food on her hands into her stomach. Just in case, she even hid a broken bone in the corner where she was accustomed to sit while Dawu was sleeping. The joints are thick and the fractures are sharp.

For the first time in three days, she ate something that made her stomach feel full, which allowed her to completely ignore her vision and taste.

After another night, it was morning again, and Dawu was taken out. There was only one guard left.

Mu Qing guessed that Li Mang and the others should have arrived here with things to redeem from Dawu.

This must be a hostage exchange that is not easy, so many men may have to be transferred to increase their own strength.

She was suddenly anxious.

She and Li Mang were so close to each other, but he didn't know she was here.

She originally hesitated whether Li Mang would be in a dilemma for her if she saw Li Mang. But now she can't care so much. She must see Li Mang, even if she lets Li Mang make the decision for her.

She doesn’t want to be forced to reproduce for other men here, nor does she want to have her brain sucked out, her arm bones broken open, and the nutrients inside licked away.

She has to fight for herself, even if it's selfish.

She had long since noticed that the man guarding her at the entrance of the cave was the only two people left here, and he kept looking at her. His eyes were a little evasive at first, but now they were unscrupulous, and he slowly walked towards her.

She sat back in the corner where she usually sat, pulled the collar of her dress down a little, then stroked her hair and smiled at him.

When Mu Qing stood up again, the man fell to the ground on his back, with the severed bone inserted deeply into his throat. Blood bubbles kept coming out of his mouth. His eyes were wide open, staring at Mu Qing's back, but The stream of life flew away from him.

Mu Qing quickly arranged her clothes, her hands shaking slightly.

She originally thought she would be very scared, after all, she was killing a person. And she used to not dare to kill even a live fish in the kitchen.

But now she finds that killing is not as difficult as she thought. After thinking about my possible ending.

She rubbed the sides of her thighs with her trembling hands a few times. As if feeling the heat from his body, his hands finally stopped shaking.

She dived out of the cave with bare feet, trying to ignore the pain she felt when the soles of her feet stepped on sharp stones.

With Li Mang not by her side, she could only bear the pain by herself.
