7078. Chapter 7078 He is getting more and more desperate
This afternoon, for the first time, Hughes found a place to climb a tree early. There were still a few hours before dark!
Mong Zihua's buttocks kept hurting, so he was naturally happy and refused to walk.
Soon, Hughes jumped down from the tree again and disappeared into the bushes.
Gong Zihua looked up at the military bag on the high branch - the steamed buns were so far away. He was so hungry!
I thought that Hughes was just going nearby to meet his physical needs. After waiting for half an hour without seeing anyone, Gong Zihua began to feel anxious.
For an hour, he looked up from time to time to make sure the military bag was still there and that Hughes would come back.
For two hours, Gong Zihua stood up and wandered around looking for him, but could not see his shadow at all...
Could it be that Hughes was taken away by a big tiger? Or maybe he met a more powerful teammate... and got lost? Or fell into a trap?
Mong Zihua's mind went blank and she was so panicked that she was at a loss.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, he did not dare to go too far, fearing that Hughes might return to the tree at any time, so he just walked around the area and quickly ran back to take a look.
The helpless feeling of being overwhelmed soon caught Gong Zihua's throat again.
He huddled under the tree, staring at the bag on the branch with a sad face, fearing that even the bag would disappear out of thin air in the blink of an eye.
As time went by, he became more and more desperate.
Rustle, rustle——
There seemed to be footsteps approaching.
Mong Zihua's whole body tensed up, staring at that point defensively.
The tall grass was pushed aside, and the afterglow of dusk covered the forest, dividing a world of dark colors and distinct layers. A boy in ragged clothes came out, holding a fat wild rabbit in his hand.
Gong Zihua raised the back of her hand and quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, pursed her lips tightly, and the feeling of safety returned.
Hughes threw the hare under the tree. It was already dead. Before it was completely dark, Hughes went to collect firewood nearby.
This time, Gong Zihua no longer dared to wait around, and followed closely behind Hughes like a little tail.
Watching Hughes pick up firewood, he vaguely knew its use, so he also picked it up randomly on the ground.
The two of them returned to the tree one after another. Hughes took out the flint and steel, spent some time making a fire, took out the dagger from his waist, and skillfully peeled off the skin of the rabbit.
Gong Zihua looked at Mingyao's flames and sat side by side with Hughes, two meters apart.
Another dangerous night is coming, and the night is shrouded.
The firelight jumped and shone, reflecting the childish faces of the two boys. Hughes had many wounds scratched by thorns, and his clothes were more tattered than before. He probably walked a lot when he was hunting this hare.
It took a lot of effort to chase.
He found a small bundle of steel cables from the military bag, passed it through the rabbit meat, hung it on the trees on both sides, and roasted the rabbit meat.
Just for a while, the aroma of cooked rabbit meat filled the air...
Miya Zihua's throat was gurgling with saliva, and she sniffed hard with her nose.
Very fragrant meat flavor.
Hughes stayed by the fire, occasionally using a stick to stir up the rabbit meat or add wood to the firewood.
In this current situation, apart from hunting for food, I will starve to death here.
Although there are many wild animals in the forest, the terrain is dangerous and tortuous. Without a compass in hand, and Hughes has a good sense of direction, it is basically impossible to go back if you get far away.
