Lu Qingtang clung to the tree trunk tightly, watching the wolf under the tree warily.
Although she knew that wolves would not climb trees, she still felt lingering fear in her heart.
After a long time, her heart gradually calmed down, and the wolf finally couldn't wait any longer and turned and left.
Lu Qingtang looked at the wolf's retreating back with some confusion.
Could it be that the wolf just left like this?
Is it just giving up?
Anyway, it's safe for the time being, but we can't stay in the tree forever.
She lowered her head and glanced at the distance under the tree. She even wondered how she got up just now. It seemed that people's desire to survive was really strong. She didn't even know that she could climb trees.
Without fear, she naturally relaxed. She began to look around on the tree, and then she discovered that there were fruits on the tree. She was so nervous that she didn't notice them.
He reached out and picked one, and under the moonlight, Lu Qingtang took a closer look. The whole fruit was green, like a green pear.
It turned out to be Xili, still wild, no wonder it grew so tall.
However, she remembered that some of the fruits were edible, but she couldn't tell the difference between male and female, so she might as well forget it.
Lu Qingtang sighed slightly, wondering if the three babies had eaten now, and whether Mo Zeshen was already anxious.
But now she has nothing to do except worry. She has no strength and doesn't know how to get down from this tree.
She raised her eyes and looked into the distance, inadvertently looking into countless pairs of bright green eyes.
Shocked in vain, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but scream, but her voice became hoarse at some point and she couldn't make any sound at all.
Maybe I was too thirsty and was too anxious to drink the water from the stream, which suddenly made my voice hoarse.
But that's not important. What's important is that there are several wolves gathered under the tree now.
Wolves are social animals. Once a wolf finds prey and cannot attack it, it will inevitably call other wolves. How could Lu Qingtang forget this? He almost forgot the wolf's habits.
But luckily she forgot, otherwise she would have been ripped apart by so many wolves if she had fallen out of the tree, leaving no bones left.
She patted her chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to watch the wolves circle around the tree.
Probably because the smell of blood on her body was too strong, these wolves were reluctant to leave, and they definitely wanted to take a bite. She can't get down, and they can't get up, so let's just waste it together.
She leaned her head against the tree branch and squinted for a while, but still hugged the tree and didn't let go, for fear of accidentally falling and being eaten by a wolf. She didn't know how long she had been squinting, but she was woken up by thirst again. The water she drank just now was too little, which was not enough to replenish the water needed in her body. Now she was thirsty again, and her throat was almost smoking.
Taking another look at the Liguo, Lu Qingtang smashed it in his mouth, or took a gamble.
She stretched out her hand to pick off a lily fruit, and when she was about to open her mouth to bite, she suddenly heard a faint shout.
"Princess Chen, where are you?"
"Tangtang, are you there?"
"Master Tang, come out quickly. I will never quarrel with you again."
…
Lu Qingtang stood up holding on to the branch and looked at the source of the sound. She saw little bits of fire coming towards her direction.
The fatigue and panic of the day immediately dissipated at this moment. She waved towards the light of the fire and opened her mouth to speak. However, her throat was sore and swollen, and she could not make any sound.
Oops!
Lu Qingtang looked at the wolves under the tree and couldn't help but worry about the people who came to find him.
What if they were injured by a wolf?
However, I couldn't make any sound, so I couldn't remind them. What should I do?
While she was worried about them, she kept shaking the plum fruit in her hand.
I got it!
She picked off the berries that were close to her and threw them at the wolves under the tree, one after another.
The accuracy was not good at night, but a few wolves were hit. They howled and howled at Lu Qingtang on the tree.
Lu Qingtang's legs were a little weak, and he was covered in goosebumps while holding on to the tree branch.
At this moment, the people who came not far away to look for Lu Qingtang all heard the howling of wolves, and none of them dared to go any further.
The leader, Mo Zeshen, was not timid. He took the torch from Yu Bai and told everyone, "Beasts are most afraid of fire. As long as we hold the torch, we won't be hurt. But everyone should be vigilant, maybe the princess is in front." .”
He had a hunch that Lu Qingtang was nearby and he should see him soon.
He didn't want anything to happen to Lu Qingtang. There were three children waiting for her in Zhennan Palace, especially Mo Bao, who had been crying for his mother.
As for himself, he couldn't even eat until now, and he didn't have any thoughts when he couldn't find Lu Qingtang.
As they continued to move forward, the howling of the wolves became louder and louder. They held torches in one hand and weapons in the other, keeping vigilance at all times. Even Zeng Ke, who had always been timid, held a saber and followed Mo Zeshen's example in exploring the mountains and forests.
He took his saber and poked in the grass, here and there, when a frog suddenly jumped out and scared him so much that he immediately hugged Yu Bai and screamed.
Yu Bai looked disgusted and stretched out his hand to push him away, "Can the princess be in the grass? It's hard to hide a toad."
Zeng Ke curled his lips and patted the stone with his saber. Yu Bai was speechless.
He shook his head, "Can the princess turn into stone?"
Zen Ke shook his head, laughed twice, and continued walking forward.
As he walked, he looked up the trees again, east and west.
At this time, Yu Bai held his forehead again, "Brother Zeng, is it possible that the princess can still climb the tree?"
He never knew Lu Qingtang could climb trees.
Zeng Ke scratched his head and frowned: "I can't say for sure, but she can indeed climb trees, but she can't climb very high."
He muttered and walked to Mo Zeshen's side.
By chance, Mo Zeshen heard these words and immediately ordered his people not to just stare at the grass and behind the trees, but also to see if there was anyone on the top of the trees.
Since there are wolves here, Lu Qingtang will most likely climb a tree to save himself in an emergency.
They continued walking forward, and the howling of wolves was right in front of them. They saw a group of wolves circling around a tree. A fruit-like object was thrown from the tree and hit a wolf on the head.
The wolf howled in pain, stepped on the trunk of the tree with its front feet and climbed up, howling crazily at the tree. However, it was obvious that it could not get up the tree and could only do it in a hurry.
Mo Zeshen immediately understood that the person in the tree was Lu Qingtang.
It’s just that so many people are shouting, why doesn’t she respond to herself.
Without thinking much, Mo Zeshen immediately ordered everyone to use torches to drive away the wolves. The wolves were attacked by the flames, clamped their tails and barked at everyone. They kept retreating with vigilance.
Yu Bai, Yuanlang and others rushed to the front with torches and attacked the wild wolves with their weapons. They were very brave.
Mo Zeshen took this opportunity to look at the tree.
The woman on the tree was holding up the plum blossoms at the moment. Her clothes were in pieces, her hair was as messy as a beggar, and her fair face was covered with scars from thorns and branches. Especially on the right side of his face, there was a gash about two inches long, and blood was constantly oozing from the wound.
Mo Zeshen's heart was immediately pinched, and the pain made him almost lose his balance.
