those in the rivers and lakes

Chapter 3 Survival
With red eyes, Qin Du reluctantly picked up the knife, dug a shallow pit not far away, and buried the remaining arm.His figure was swaying, and blood was dripping all over the ground.

He leaned on the ground alone, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat. It was already dark at this time, and the cold wind gradually blew.I could only hear the rustling of the weeds, and looked up to see the shaking of the treetops, and the waning moon was slowly being engulfed by the dark clouds.

He wants to leave here, because he doesn't want to die yet, so no matter what method he uses, he has to live.

But just as he straightened his waist, he fell to the ground in excruciating pain and threw the knife aside.He raised his head slightly, and saw two will-o'-the-wisps staring at him ten feet away, but they were clearly not will-o'-the-wisps, but the eyes of a wolf!
The wolf licked the blood on the ground, raised its head and let out a long cry.Qin Du didn't howl or struggle, but lay down steadily. He looked like he was about to faint, but he looked at the wolf motionlessly from the corner of his eyes.

The wolf got closer and closer, and he held the knife tighter and tighter!Like an arrow, the wolf bared its fangs and bit towards his chest, but his knife was faster, and the wolf's throat was already cut open in a flash of cold light.

He sat up abruptly, and without knowing where the strength came from, he raised his hand and stabbed the wolf into the wolf's body again.

You have to eat to survive, and at this moment, nothing seems more suitable than wolf meat.He struggled to stand up, and with a swing of the long knife, a wolf's leg had been chopped off.

He hugged the knife and the wolf's legs to his chest, and there was a sudden plop, Qin Du felt that his eyes were pitch-black, and he fell so badly that he had fallen into a hunting pit!The wolf's leg was pierced by thorns, if it fell a little bit, he would have died here at this moment.

Originally he wanted to leave here but didn't know where to go, but now he wanted to leave but couldn't.

Fortunately, he was carrying flint with him, gathered dead branches and rotten grass and made a fire, and finally the dark pit lit up.The wildfire was dry and scorching hot, warming his body and heart.

He pulled out his dagger, cut off a piece of the wolf's leg, pierced it with a branch and roasted it on the fire.

The fire was extinguished little by little, and the wolf meat was gradually cooked.Qin Duan seemed to have never smelled such delicious meat, and felt as if a hand was grasping in his stomach.

He opened his mouth to tear off a piece and chewed it in his mouth. He swallowed the meat before it was chewed. When he swallowed, he really felt the burning pain in his esophagus.But he didn't want to wait any longer, he was really hungry after all this trouble.

The fire had been burnt out, and Qin Dun bit the wooden stick in his mouth. His eyes turned cold, and his body suddenly fell down, pressing his bleeding right shoulder on the bright red sparks...

In this way, he stayed in the cave for three full days.

If the wolf hadn't come to eat him, he might have starved to death in the hole, and if he hadn't fallen into the big hole, he might have been torn to pieces by other wild beasts.

What was originally a fatal murderous intent became an indispensable condition for his survival in the end.

Today is the third day since he fell into the cave, and now he can't help but vomit because of the smell of wolf meat, he ate too much.

The wound on his right shoulder has begun to heal, and most of his physical strength has recovered.This can't stay any longer, otherwise he will really die here.

Looking around, he saw a hemp rope, which should have been left by the hunter.But how could he climb up with only one arm?Then he thought of his knife again, the knife was left to him by his master, and he must take it away.

He finally figured out a way.

Qin Duan tied the hemp rope to the handle of the knife, and then ran forward with the knife in his hand. He thrust hard, and the knife sank deeply into the wall.

He tied the other end of the rope around his waist, took a few steps back and then ran forward suddenly, only to see that the man with the knife handle jumped up from under his feet.

Qin Duan untied the rope around his waist and walked to the other side of the big hole. He pulled the hemp rope little by little, and the knife was pulled out little by little. He lifted it upwards, and the knife was already in his hand.

It was early morning, Qin Du looked forward and couldn't help smiling, the smile was so cold and sad.

He touched his right shoulder and thought to himself: "I like you so much, but you treat me like this. One day I will make your life worse than death!"

But he thought about it, now that he is a useless person, don't talk about revenge, even if he doesn't know how to live in the future, what kind of revenge is he talking about?

Angry in his heart, he chopped down the big tree beside him with a bang, then glanced at Caique Villa, and left without looking back.

After descending Shikou Mountain, Qin Dun walked for half an hour and finally saw a village.He didn't know what the village was called, and he didn't know if there were people in the village. He didn't know if someone would give him alms, and he didn't know if he could survive.

Qin Du didn't go to this duel, Xiao Zhenchuan became the owner of Caique Villa as a matter of course, which means that from the day of their duel, Xiao Zhenchuan's future life will be immeasurable.

Thinking of these things, Qin Du's heart was terribly blocked. He was not interested in the position of the owner of the villa, and he didn't even care about winning or losing this duel.He just wanted to experience himself and make more friends.But now it seems that he has experienced enough.

"anyone there?"

Someone opened the door, and it was a middle-aged woman who opened the door. Behind the woman were two children.

"Auntie, do you have something to eat? I'm so hungry!"

The woman didn't speak, she closed the wooden door casually, and then put the latch on.

"It seems that she thinks I'm a terrible person." Qin Du laughed secretly.

But he didn't give up, he had to find something to eat, and he had to knock on the door again.

"Is anyone here?"

No one answered, maybe no one lives here, maybe the people inside are looking at him through the crack of the door.Look at the blood stains on his clothes and the knife on his back.

He continued to walk, but his legs became weaker and weaker. He didn't know how much longer he could walk, but he would never stop, because even if he was crawling, he still had to find something to eat.

No one is willing to take in such a person, because no one is willing to get into such trouble. The people here are ordinary civilians, and their lives are not well-off. They also have wives and children.

Qin Du asked for meals from ten families, but only got half a bowl of leftovers, which was far from enough for him.

Finally, he finally met an old woman, a very kind old woman.

"I have something to eat here!"

"Aren't you worried that I'll hurt you?"

The old lady laughed instead, but Qin Du didn't understand, and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

The old woman said: "In that case, I would like to thank you. I am the only one left in this room!"

"Where's your husband?"

"died!"

"And what about your child?"

"My son and daughter-in-law said they were going to the south to do business. They left three years ago and haven't come back yet."

"They'll be back!"

"I'm afraid I can't wait for that day!"

Qin Du turned around and wanted to leave. He really shouldn't ask for anything from such an old man, because her life was no easier than his own.

"I still have three steamed buns here, which were given to me by people in the village. Now let's eat them all for you!"

"What about you?"

"I still have food at home, and there are people in the village who help me."

Qin Duan suddenly knelt down in front of the old woman, tears streaming down her mouth, and she couldn't say a word anymore.He kowtowed three times to the old woman respectfully, and grabbed the ground with his left hand.
