The beehive the bear cub rolled to her yesterday was still there Gu Nianzhi dug out a bit of wild honey, slathered it on the fish, and continued roasting it Soon the sweet aro fish filled the forest Gu Nianzhi had just picked up the freshly cooked fish to devour when she suddenly heard rustling in the trees behind her The grass thuhtly, and the next second, a round bear cub practically tumbled to her feet It was her old friend! Gu Nianzhi’ssmile She picked up a half-cooked fish without honey frorill and passed it to the bear “Here, this is for you”
The bear cub looked up at her, sticking out its tongue to lick the half-cooked fish before opening itshalf of it Gu Nianzhi i bitten by the bear cub “Don’t eat so quickly” Gu Nianzhi rolled her eyes “There’s still plenty, take your tiht five fish, and there were another tith honey for herself The other three half-cooked ones could be given to the bear cub Gu Nianzhi sat on the grass after speaking and leisurely ate her two honeyed fish The other three half-cooked fish ended up in the bear cub’s belly Both the hurass to enjoy the sunshi+ne after thesleepy, but herthe day’s events How had those people found her? She laid on the grass with a sweet and sour eed between her teeth as she carefully considered the entire situation She couldn’t recall anything strange She hadn’t met anybody when the bear cub took her to the nunnery, and there was no way the bear cub could betray her She also didn’t get a chance to borrow the Reverend Mother’s phone, so how did those people find her? She then thought of the Reverend Mother’s unkind attitude towards her Was it her doing? Maybe the Reverend Mother disliked her and called the police?
She thought about it for a while, and soht Most people didn’t call the police on people they didn’t like at first glance–it was illogical Thereshe didn’t know yet, but she didn’t want to mull over it anymore She’d better find a way toin the sarass for sorass off and waved goodbye to the bear cub “Little Black, I’ll be going now If I canfor you guys” She didn’t knohat to wish for, and the bear cub probably didn’t care about what she wished for She only did it for her own reassurance
Making a bundle out of her long nun’s habit, Gu Nianzhi wrapped up the new undergar out After walking so in the west, and it was going to get dark soon The sun shone from behind, and when she turned around, she saw the bear cub was still watching her, its loneso sun…
Gu Nianzhiabout how difficult her path was ahead, she didn’t want the cute bear cub to perish under the bullets of those people trying to harain
…
She walked alone along the rugged peaks of the Alps and began to feel depressed She used to need nightlights when she slept and didn’t dare to go to bed alone But now she was able to sleep wherever she needed Not only was no light necessary, but she was able to sleep all alone, even in the wilderness Gu Nianzhi gri around She would have to sleep outside if there weren’t any dwellings ahead
Gu Nianzhi sat on the grass and took off her shoes to discover her soft and fair soles were blistered Using the small spike on her Swiss Army knife, she pricked open the blisters and soaked her feet in the creek Afterwards, she laid in the grass and crossed her feet in the setting sun to let them dry Once her feet were dry, she slowly put on her shoes and planned to forage for some berries She was exhausted and didn’t want to catch any fish Because she also had two grilled fish in the afternoon and had eaten another one in the , she was already sick of fish and didn’t want radually darkened, the sound of fluttering bird wings ca sky Gu Nianzhi squinted at the birds flying across the sky and found that they were all heading to the forest diagonally from her Was that where the birds nested? Gu Nianzhi followed the the forest, she indeed foundhard, she quietly crept up a tree with a nest, and as expected, there were bird eggs Gu Nianzhi took advantage of h all the nests She didn’t empty any of the nests but chose to take one or two from each nest to not be too obvious in hopes that the birds wouldn’t notice
Cli down the tree, Gu Nianzhi had already collected a pocketful of eggs She cradled them and walked to the riverbank, set up a ss were cooked, and Gu Nianzhi sat cross legged on the grass to peel three eggs for a full s for breakfast tos, she went to find afor sorass Taking her nun’s habit, she covered herself with it and fell asleep on the grass
Because she had a shtened to approach her at night White s ers didn’t notice Gu Nianzhi slept peacefully, and when she woke the next , she was surprised to find she wasn’t sore at all Obviously, she was now used to sleeping on the grass
After sitting in a daze for a while, she burst out laughing Hu up to find ato rinse her s from yesterday, then wrapped up the nun’s habit to carry and continued walking This tietting tired
She sat on a large rock by the river to rest her feet and planned to find a nearby forest to see what else she could forage–berries, eggs, or uish bethichthe sweat on her forehead, Gu Nianzhi walked towards the forest The trees grew denser but weren’t too thick or tall, so they probably weren’t that old Gu Nianzhi looked around and immediately noticed several berry bushes nearby She quickly walked over and was about to bend over to pick the sound It was like so on dried leaves Gu Nianzhi’s heart sank How could she be hearing that here?
In that moment, Gu Nianzhi’s body reacted before her , she had already fallen to the ground and rolled quickly to hide behind the bush Whoosh!+ A series of silenced bullets were shot frole, ai over! If she had fallen to the ground one second later, the bullets would’ve cut through her waist and rendered her half paralyzed
Gu Nianzhi seized up Could those people be pursuing her again? But this ti behind the bush, she slowly edged back The forest wasn’t that big, but the dense foliage radually shi+fted towards the denser trees Several gunshots could be heard froain However, this time, they weren’t aimed in her direction but far off in a three o’clock position Thud! A large bird fell from a tree, then there was a whistle followed by cheers Gu Nianzhi could tell that they were speaking Ger, “Good job!” Her
The intermittent conversation drifted closer, then farther fro the small forest “Hans, hoas this season for you?”
“Pretty good I got a snoolf, some foxes, and plan to kill a bear”
“That ot a few rabbits and one bird”
The people laughed heartily They all had male voices So these were hunters Gu Nianzhi instantly recalled overhearing the conversation when she was dining with He Zhichu at the hotel They hadseason had officially begun
