Chapter 002: Desperate Survival
The weather was clear and cloudless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On a protruding stone platform on the edge of the cliff, the girl's long eyelashes moved and slowly opened.
Above her, several eagles and birds circled and chirped. It seems that he wants to fly down, and he seems to be afraid of something.
Her empty eyes gradually regained their brightness, and she turned her head to look around, and where she could reach, a plant with only golden fruit growing at the tip of the rhizome grew in the crevice of the cliff. The wind blows, and the fruit trembles, as if it will fall in the next moment.
Pursing his chapped lips, he reluctantly looked away and continued to observe.
The stone platform she was on was covered with dried black blood, which spread upwards until it disappeared above the cliff. The heads of several animals were exposed on either side of the bloodstains, like birds in the sky. Some are irritable and roaring, and some are cowering.
He moved, and his wounded face showed a look of pain, and then the wound bled again.
Unmoved, she slowed down for a moment, then struggled to her feet, trembling her right hand reaching for the fruit.
The birds and beasts suddenly became chaotic, and they looked like they were about to pounce. She looked back coldly, quickly picked the fruit, and fed the gourd into her mouth.
Immediately afterward, the miserable face once again showed an expression of unspeakable pain. It was as if she had eaten something unpalatable.
As soon as his throat moved, all the fruit in his mouth entered his stomach. She grinned for a moment before turning her head to look around. But in the next second, her body was shocked, and then her whole body trembled violently.
She crouched down, her hands clenched firmly. His body shook like chaff, and he clung to his hair and rolled on the stone platform. There was a low roar in her lips, and in a few moments, all the wounds on her body were cracked, and blood gushed out, wetting her clothes and hair again.
The birds in the sky, the beasts on the edge of the cliff, roared and slowly dispersed after she swallowed the fruit.
It was quiet, except for the cold wind that blew from the bottom of the abyss, like the low cry of a wounded beast.
From sunrise to sunrise, and then to sunset.
She stared at the sunset on the horizon with her blank eyes open. The body is still spasming, from the beginning the wound scabs, the scabs are cocked and falling. In the next moment, the intact skin oozed blood again, scabbed again, and fell off again.
I don't know how many times I went back and forth like this, until sunset and the darkness swept in, and this repeated torture finally stopped.
After calming down for a long time, she moved, reached out and pulled a red rope from her chest. A long jade plaque of turquoise hung from the rope, and under the darkness of the night, the jade plaque emitted a faint fluorescence, revealing two complicated characters.
“…… Zixuan ......" read out two words, and then held the jade plate tightly in his hand: "Father, this is the name you left for your daughter, right?" ”
The faint sound was blown away by the wind, and there was silence all around. After a long time, tears welled up in her moist eyes, and before she could overflow her eyes, she raised her hand and wiped it rudely, and her voice was firm: "Then I will call Zixuan in the future, Xie Ting is dead, and Zixuan will never be that weak person again, and will be deceived and disappointed." ”
This time, the voice came far away, and it lingered along the abyss for a long time.
Putting away the jade card, the girl Zixuan barely stood up from the ground. At this time, she was full of weakness and her stomach roared with hunger.
The summer night wasn't particularly dark, and she found a vine to tie to her body and barely climbed up the jutting rock.
After taking a few breaths on the edge of the cliff, she stood up again, and was about to choose a direction to leave. But after seeing the two animal carcasses that were raised from a hill not far away, he was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed and rushed over.
After a day of exposure to the sun, the corpse already had a slight smell. Zixuan couldn't think about why the corpse hadn't been eaten by other animals after so long, but he couldn't wait to get started directly, and forcibly ripped off a piece of meat near the black bear's fur.
It is true that the meat is not fresh anymore, but her hungry chest is pressed against her back, and she takes a bite directly.
It's sour and unpalatable, and it's very hard to bite. Zixuan frowned, looked at the two corpses in his hand, and finally turned around and began to pick up firewood while biting.
After a while, the fire was lit, and Zixuan, who didn't know how to cook, rudely tore off the meat and skewered it on a wooden stick and roasted it. The smell slowly disappears over time, followed by a burnt aroma of meat.
The scent soon spread far and wide, and the sound of Si Suo was heard in the woods. Countless pairs of eyes were hidden in the night.
Zixuan stared around while turning over the meat, and saw that those animals were just hiding in the dark and didn't dare to come out, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore and concentrated on the barbecue.
The meat is gradually roasted to a golden brown, and the oil seeps out and drips onto the fire, making a "stinging" sound, followed by a richer aroma.
couldn't wait any longer, Zixuan smelled the fragrance, reached out and tore a piece of meat, and was not afraid of being hot, and threw it directly into his mouth and chewed it.
There is no longer the previous sourness and hardness, and the meat after being grilled becomes fluffy and delicious. Zixuan ate the thigh of a black bear in a row, and then he withdrew his hand.
When she was full and looked up, she found that she had a circle of animal cubs around her at some point. Not far away sat a circle of adult animals. Zixuan frowned, and pushed the unloaded bear meat next to him and pushed it towards the cubs.
The cubs turned a blind eye to the raw flesh, and instead stared at the fire that had not yet been extinguished with all kinds of eyes open.
Zi Xuan understood, and after thinking about it carefully, he tore the meat again and skewered it and began to barbecue.
It wasn't until he fed a group of animals large and small around him that Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on his back exhausted.
Looking at the starry sky, Zixuan finally had the luck of escaping death.
When she tore through her sleeves, it was not so much a bold statement as a last-ditch struggle in utter despair.
Fortunately, she survived.
He inhaled slowly, then exhaled. The coming days are long, and she will not let go of any of those who have lost her.
Thinking of this, Zixuan clenched his fists fiercely. But in the next moment, there was a warm and soft touch on his hand. She looked sideways in amazement, only to see that it was a fox cub. Spotting her gaze, the little fox tilted his head and pushed her fist against her, as if silently comforting.
Zixuan was dumbfounded, and then his heart warmed. He released his fist and gently touched the little fox's fluff.
As if getting some kind of hint, the small animals that were watching around actually ran over and surrounded Zixuan, each making a delicate cry, currying favor with all kinds of means. The gloom in Zixuan's heart was dispelled a little, and some sunshine was sprinkled in.
She got up from the ground and looked around. It's on the edge and it's not safe. She didn't know how much time had passed since that day, or if the man would ever come back.
To be on the safe side, it's safer to hide in the forest. Thinking of this, she lowered her head and picked up the little fox, followed by a string of animals, carrying the remaining corpses, and marched into the forest.
