Chapter 62

c "No, I didn't see it."

"This thing was wearing a big fold-brimmed hat, and he was also wearing clothes that I didn't know where to get. It was covered so tightly that nothing could be seen." I recalled the scene last night carefully. Make sure you haven't missed anything.

Afterwards, the three of us conspired for a while and made a secret plan.

I was very scared at first, and I told Sister Hong that we should leave quickly and forget about what this thing was.

Sister Hong shook her head and said that there were many mysteries here, and her intuition told her that she should not just leave like this, but should follow this line.

During the day, we tried our best not to look around, kept our heads down when walking and talking, and did not dare to eat anything else. We only ate the same kind of fruit to satisfy our hunger.

At night, as usual, we lit a fire and no one kept watch. The three of us lay on the ground around the fire and closed our eyes.

However, the difference between this time and last night is that none of us slept. They are all pretending to sleep.

Sister Hong was holding a small dagger with her palm facing down and covering it with her sleeve. What Chen Jiansheng and I hid in our hands was a small piece of sharpened wooden stick, which we pressed with our arms. We couldn't see anything from the outside except that the three of us were sleeping.

Time passed by minute by minute, and since there was no more wood in the second half of the night, the fire was already burning very small.

"Papa," something threw a small clod of soil at us to test.

We pretended to sleep, with our eyes closed, and no one moved.

I clenched the stick hidden under my arm, feeling scared to death.

A few minutes passed.

"Papa," another small clod of soil was thrown over.

We still slept motionless, no one paid any attention to us.

After about an hour, there were very slight footsteps.

I squinted my eyes, lay on the ground, and peeked carefully.

I saw the dwarf who appeared last night, holding a small stone in his hand, walking towards the fire step by step, twisting left and right.

The way this thing walks is very weird, twisting and turning, like a little old woman.

He walked very slowly and carefully, approaching us little by little.

Afraid of being discovered by this thing, I quickly closed my eyes and stopped looking.
