Chapter 12 Departure

He was leaving here tomorrow. Wu Dongfang was in a low mood. He had been stranding here these days. In addition to the need to heal his wounds and learn language, the more important reason was that the river in the east was the starting point for him to come to this world. He felt closer to the modern world and would leave here tomorrow. He didn't know what the outside world looked like, nor did he know what was waiting for him. The road ahead was full of variables and unknowns.

But he is not a sentimental person after all. Aunt San has a saying that has a great influence on him, that is, to think about everything better. Since he can no longer go back, he can only move forward and take one step at a time.

In addition, there was another thing that made him very worried. The rice bucket is still small and can only eat but not prey. Mingwan is very afraid of it and cannot raise it on behalf of others. If he takes a step back, even if Mingwan is willing to raise it, he can't afford it. Don't be too small to feed two kilograms of meat a day.

If you have milk, you are a mother. If you have food, you can be a father. After these days of feeding, the rice bucket is very close to him. He doesn't run around when he crawls out at night. He will snuggle up to him and sleeps. He is very dependent on him. He can't bear to give it up like this.

After thinking for a long time, Wu Dongfang cut two black facial towels into thin strips with a dagger as a rope, and made a bag with a bulletproof vest and silk peeled from the body. Since he was reluctant to abandon them, he could only take them away.

Mingwan came the next day before dawn. Because something happened in the village, she was worried about leaving the child at home and brought it over.

Wu Dongfang lit a bonfire and found that Ming Wan's eyes were swollen.

"I heard you were leaving today and made clothes and shoes for you overnight." Mingwan handed the prepared clothes and shoes to Wu Dongfang.

"I can still wear shoes, I will leave these shoes for you." Wu Dongfang took the clothes and handed them to Mingwan. These shoes were made of animal skin and linen, and Mingwan himself was always wearing straw sandals.

"You keep it for clothing." Mingwan shook his head and refused.

Wu Dongfang glanced at Mingwan and hesitated for a moment and took off his shoes. "The prey I caught yesterday is in the cave. You marinate it with salt."

Mingwan nodded. Although the child was right next to her, she still couldn't help crying.

"You keep these two knives for use. If this one is broken, you keep them too." Wu Dongfang put the black knives next to Ming Wan.

Mingwan nodded with sobs.

Wu Dongfang took another handful of three-skull forks, which were made of wood and monster bones, and were more than one meter long. "After I leave, you should try not to fish in the Dongmeng River. If you don't go, there will be no food. Just use this. When you catch the fish, leave quickly. Don't stay by the river for too long."

After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, he saw Mingwan crying again, so he hurriedly stood up and walked towards the cave, "There are still a few that have not been peeled, I'll help you clean up before leaving."

Half an hour later, Wu Dongfang finished processing his prey and ran to the stream west to take a shower, changed into the gray linen made by Ming Wan, and left the worn camouflage uniform to Ming Wan, "Give it to you, leave a souvenir."

"Will you come back?" Ming Wan took over the camouflage uniform.

"I can't say it." Wu Dongfang shook his head.

"If it's not good outside, you'll come back. We'll always be friends." Ming Wan said.

"I'm a good friend." Wu Dongfang smiled and nodded.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the wizard set out, with nine people accompanying him, six strong men and one woman. The woman was holding a baby who survived that night. The Tu wizard was tied to a bamboo steak similar to a stretcher and carried by two men.

They walked in front, and Wu Dongfang was hanging far away dozens of meters behind them.

This is a mountain road winding between the mountains. Because it is necessary to transport ore, the mountain road is not steep and there are no large slopes that go straight up and down. It is mostly flat roads. However, the price of flatness is to circle around the mountains and take many unjust detours.

Wu Dongfang was not in a hurry. He had nowhere to go, and it was not much different for him to arrive at the tribe one day earlier or later.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the witch stopped and everyone sat down to eat and rest. They brought dry food, and Wu Dongfang also brought food, but it was raw. He searched for some dead branches nearby to create a small fire. Unexpectedly, the witch came over just now and used a copper rod to spread the fire.

Wu Dongfang looked up at the witch and did not ask why. There must be a reason for the other party to do this.

The witch did not explain why it could not be fired, so she turned Wu Dongfang and turned around and walked away.

The Tu tribe witch had almost no food these days. The witch might be worried that the prisoners would starve to death, so she gave her a piece of cured meat. The Tu tribe wielded her head and did not eat.

No one gave Wu Dongfang food, and Wu Dongfang was not surprised. He helped the villagers and stopped the villagers from humiliating the witches of the Tu tribe. Although he was not an enemy, he was not a friend.

Because he had to carry a quiver, Wu Dongfang hung the rice bucket on his chest. When everyone was resting, Wu Dongfang put it out. The rice bucket ran into the woods and pulled the shit. On the way back, he picked up a wild fruit, but after chewing it, he found that the taste was not good and threw it away with his backhand.

After resting for half an hour, the witch called everyone to continue on the way. Wu Dongfang brought the rice bucket with him and followed him. On the way, he encountered a bamboo forest. He broke a tender bamboo and stuffed it to the rice bucket. The rice bucket was taken and cunted. It didn't like this thing very much. It vomited when it chewed it, and just grinded its teeth.

Shortly after leaving, a roar came from the east. The roar came from the mountain to the east where everyone was. It was five or six miles away from the straight line here. The roar was a continuous and continuous "Yeah, yah", which was a bit like a donkey's scream, but lasted longer than the donkey's scream.

Hearing the roar, the men accompanying him stopped at the same time and looked at the witch nervously.

The witch hesitated for a while and walked forward. Everyone followed her carefully, tremblingly, as if walking on thin ice.

After walking out two miles carefully, everyone came to the flat area between the two peaks. At this moment, strange screams came from the mountains to the east, and everyone stopped again.

"It seems not very happy today." A man said to the witch.

Wu Dongfang didn't know who the other party said "it" specifically refers to, but he could guess that there was an animal in the dense forest in the east that everyone was very afraid of. Moreover, this animal has existed for a long time, and everyone in the village knew about it.

The witch nodded and reached out to the man who was talking. The man took out a gray pot and handed it over from his bag. The pot was flat and round, with a diameter of about thirty centimeters.

The witch took the pot, opened the lid on it, and walked forward with it.

Wu Dongfang was far away and could not see what was in the pottery jar, but according to the witch's actions, the jar should be what the animal in the forest likes to eat.
