They roasted rabbits in front of the tree house. For some reason, Zhang Hanju especially coveted the rabbit liver. "Is it done? Can you eat it?"
Shen Tianhuan thought about the reason. It might be that she had not eaten green vegetables for too long and lacked vitamins. "It will be fine in a while."
She squatted next to him, grilling a crucian carp, "This fish is actually best for making soup, but we don't have a small stew pot, so unfortunately we can only bake it."
Shao Ze said, "Come on, some of them are pretty good, but you're still picky."
"Do you have a machine gun in your mouth? You answer what I say."
Shao Ze said no, "I'm just bored."
"Okay, here's this for you." Shen Tianhuan said.
Zhang Hanju reached out to take it, but Shao Ze snatched it away first, "Hey, take it first and eat it first."
"Give it back to me!" Zhang Hanju moved forward to grab it. There was a fire in front of her. Shen Tianhuan quickly grabbed her, "Also, I will bake it for you again."
"Stop teasing her. She has only recovered a little while ago. Maybe her body has not recovered yet."
Shao Ze said, "When you threw the snowball at me, I didn't see that your body hadn't recovered yet."
"If I recover, I can bury you in the snow." Zhang Hanju said.
Yang Jiajia was lost in thought. The fish in her hand was burnt and she didn't know how to turn it over. Zhang Hanju saw it and poked her, "Yang Jiajia, it's your fish."
She turned over slowly and said, "Oh."
"What are you thinking about? You are so obsessed."
"key."
"Key?" Zhang Hanju glanced at the tree house, "Our door is unlocked."
"This key is not that key." Shao Ze said.
"Anyway, your fish is burnt. You can eat the burnt fish yourself." Zhang Hanju said to Yang Jiajia.
Yang Jiajia placed the fish that was burnt on one side and still raw on the other side on the stone. Holding the branch of the grilled fish in her hand, she drew the totems of the barbarians on the snow.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yang Jiajia turned around and glanced at her, "Thank you."
"Ah, why are you thanking me?"
"If you help that kid, he will definitely come back again."
"What do you want to do?" Zhang Hanju asked her.
Shen Tianhuan said, "Do you want to follow that child to their base camp?"
Guessing it correctly, Yang Jiajia said, "This is my best chance."
Shao Ze agreed, "Then we will be prepared."
"What are you going to do when you find their base camp?" Zhang Hanju finished eating the rabbit liver and started eating the meat. He pulled off the rabbit legs and handed them to Shen Tianhuan.
Yang Jiajia said, "I haven't decided yet."
"If you haven't thought about it, what can you do with them?" Zhang Hanju said.
Shen Tianhuan suddenly hissed.
Shao Ze reacted, "Something is approaching."
"It came just in time." Yang Jiajia said.
Another stone was thrown into the fire. The flames jumped and sparks flew around. Zhang Hanju subconsciously leaned back and was protected by Shen Tianhuan's forward shoulders. This person is really strange. He seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. I don’t understand why I’m still moving forward.
The child exposed half of his body and stared at them in the forest for a while, as if confirming something. Zhang Hanju turned around to look at him, but Yang Jiajia stopped him, "Don't look at him, he will escape faster."
The child took a few glances and then started to fly into the woods.
Yang Jiajia hurriedly got up and chased, "Shao Ze, gun!"
Shao Ze quickly ran back to the treehouse to get their weapons.
Zhang Hanju and Shen Tianhuan were left. Zhang Hanju kicked the snow on the fire, extinguished the fire, and ran after calling him, "Follow them, let's go!"
No matter how agile children are, they can't keep up with the speed of adults. Moreover, they have stayed nearby for a few days and are already familiar with their surroundings. Snow, jungle, and rocks are no longer a huge obstacle to them.
The four of them followed the child into a place similar to a small tribe. The people here lived in small houses surrounded by straw. It was already evening, and a lamp was lit in front of each house in the small tribe, which seemed to help the lost. The tribesmen of the direction identify the direction home.
In this way, they openly entered the territory of the savages.
Yang Jiajia walked in the front, and several others walked behind.
They soon discovered the intrusion of foreign enemies.
The strongest men held spears and formed an army to confront them. The sharp weapons looked like they could turn these uninvited guests into meat skewers for today's dinner.
Just then, the child ran out again and said something to the men.
"Is he begging for mercy on our behalf?" Shao Ze guessed.
Zhang Hanju nodded, "Yes, he said I saved him, and he said please don't treat us as their prey, but as guests."
Several people looked at her in surprise, "How do you know?"
"Yeah, how do I know? It's strange...but I just understand."
"Can you speak their language?"
Zhang Hanju shook his head, "Understanding and speaking are two different things."
He stepped forward and asked Yang Jiajia, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Yang Jiajia said, "You will know in a moment."
"No matter what you want to do, you and Shao Ze can probably handle it. She and I will go back first. She is still very weak." Shen Tianhuan seemed to have guessed Yang Jiajia's intention and tried to take Zhang Hanju away.
"I'm not weak anymore." Zhang Hanju said, "Why are you going back so early? Maybe they will keep us for dinner. Fortunately, I didn't eat too much just now."
The savages put down their weapons, raised their hands, and said a lot of words.
"They said they would welcome us into their home and they would serve us the most delicious food," Zhang Hanju said.
The most delicious food? Zhang Hanju prayed in her heart that she wouldn't be a human being, because she couldn't eat humans.
Just after they put down their weapons and said those words, Yang Jiajia suddenly raised her gun and pointed it at them. She killed the people in front of them one by one.
The people behind hurriedly bent down to pick up weapons. One of them picked up the child and ran behind. The other men and women also bent over and crawled out of the thatched hut. The screams were like firecrackers for a while.
Zhang Hanju stepped forward and grabbed Yang Jiajia, "What are you doing?!"
Yang Jiajia pushed her away and walked forward, the gun in her hand never stopping. Shao Ze followed her, turning this place into a bloody hell.
Shen Tianhuan just stood there and watched, neither stepping forward nor retreating.
Zhang Hanju ran to him, "Where is your gun?"
Shen Tianhuan shook his head numbly.
"Give me your gun." Her hands groped on his body.
Shen Tianhuan held her hand and seemed to be expecting something, but finally said, "You can't save them."
"I can!" Zhang Hanju said.
When she couldn't find it, she rushed up and attacked Yang Jiajia from behind. Yang Jiajia switched places with Shao Ze and hit Zhang Hanju hard on the forehead with the gun handle. Blood immediately flowed down her forehead.
Zhang Hanju cursed, quickly got up from the ground, wiped the blood that was about to flow into his eyes with his hand, grabbed Yang Jiajia's arm, and suddenly fell over his shoulder. Yang Jiajia did not expect that she would get up like this. Quickly, she threw her to the ground and the two started fighting.
"You said you wanted to help me!" Yang Jiajia's hand held her throat.
"I did, but I didn't say I helped you kill people."
"I didn't ask you to kill, I just killed myself. If you don't like it, you can go back to the tree house."
"I couldn't do it, and they saved me!"
"No, it was me who saved you. I found them and they volunteered to save you. Although I don't know the reason, remember, it was me who saved you."
"Nonsense! They planted the grass of life in my heart, and they planted the water of life in my body."
"Even if they rescue you, you also saved the child once, so it's even." Yang Jiajia said everything.
"Why? Why do you have to use such cruel methods."
Yang Jiajia's hand became tighter and tighter, and he could break her neck with just a little more force.
The cold blade was pressed against her neck at some point. Shen Tianhuan stood behind her and said, "Let her go."
Yang Jiajia said, "She didn't let me go."
The blade went deep into her throat, cutting the skin.
"Okay, we can compete to see who is faster, whether it's faster for me to break her neck or for you to cut my throat." There was a hint of fanaticism in Yang Jiajia's eyes.
Shao Ze had run out of bullets, and the remaining men came towards them brandishing their spears.
"Stop fighting, they are coming!"
Yang Jiajia and Shen Tianhuan let go of their hands at the same time in tacit understanding.
Zhang Hanju took a big breath of air, her head was dizzy after being broken. She felt as if she had become a person again. In this world, her injuries could no longer heal quickly, and her physical strength had become weaker. Could it be that The aftereffects of being resurrected last time?
Shen Tianhuan helped her up, "Let me take a look."
Zhang Hanju was so dizzy that he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly, so he touched his face and said, "I'm sorry, I'm both naive and stubborn, and I still need you to save me."
Shen Tianhuan said it didn't matter, "We are a team, of course I want to save you."
Zhang Hanju supported his shoulders and heard him say, "Let's go back first."
Zhang Hanju said no, and when his eyes cleared, he quickly snatched his knife, turned around and ran towards the melee scene. When he turned around, there were corpses everywhere.
The child stood among the corpses, he was the only one standing, and his blood-stained face was particularly terrifying in the ice and snow.
She didn't have to save anymore, and she couldn't save anyone.
"Whoever kills me will be cursed, and will be reincarnated and have no direction." The child said.
Zhang Hanju walked up behind Yang Jiajia and Shao Ze, "Don't kill him. You have already killed all his people, what else do you want?"
The child said at this moment, "What you are looking for is on my back. If you peel off my skin, you will get the map to the Endless Land."
He pointed to his body.
Yang Jiajia asked Zhang Hanju, "What did he say?"
Zhang Hanju refused to tell her.
The child said to Zhang Hanju, "Tell her, she should make her own choice."
Zhang Hanju didn't know what to do, "But you will die."
She couldn't convey her meaning to him, but the child understood her compassionate eyes.
Yang Jiajia raised her gun and shot the child through the head without hesitation.
"I know, the answer to the mystery is this child." Yang Jiajia looked at Zhang Hanju.
Zhang Hanju said, "He knows where you want to go. If you peel off the skin of his totem, which is his back, you will get the map, but -"
"But what?" Shao Ze asked her.
"He said whoever kills him will be cursed."
Yang Jiajia took the knife in her hand and said, "Thank you."
He stepped forward and turned the lying child over, peeling off his skin. "Curse? I'm not afraid of that."
