Gu Youyou saw the man in the coffin shift his gaze to the live wolf cub, and her heart skipped a beat.
Is he going to eat the wolf cub?
Suddenly, she stood up, ran in front of them in a few steps, split her mouth into an ingratiating smile, and said, "Today, we should eat the mountain... The pheasant is dead, and it won’t taste good if it sits for too long. This wolf cub is still alive, keeping it a few more days will keep it fresh!"
The wild man Uncle squinted his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Gu Youyou with a gaze so piercing it felt like it could see through one’s heart, sending shivers down her spine.
She stepped back, but then she shockingly discovered that this wild man Uncle’s eyes somewhat resembled Jin Zijin’s, both of which had the kind of pupils so dark they seemed to suck one in!
Thud, the wild pheasant in the wild man Uncle’s left hand dropped to the ground.
The awkward smile on Gu Youyou’s face could no longer be maintained. So he’s still going to eat the wolf cub, isn’t he?
She looked at the injured wolf cub with sympathy, suddenly feeling a sense of sorrow for the doomed. Here she was, already meat on the chopping board, uncertain of when her turn would come.
Unable to save herself, she couldn’t save this poor little fellow either.
"Fine, young master, eat it if you want! Just leave me a wolf leg!"
However, wild man Uncle also cast the wolf cub aside, and with a snap, the cub whimpered pitifully from the pain.
Then he grabbed Gu Youyou and gave her a hard push, causing her to fall unsteadily next to the dead pheasant.
Gu Youyou tensed up, warily watching the wild man Uncle.
"What are you going to do?"
Don’t tell me he’s not eating the pheasant or the wolf cub but contemplating human flesh now?
At that thought, she shuddered in disgust, fear apparent in her eyes.
The wild man Uncle stood with a stern face, taking two steps toward Gu Youyou, looming over her.
Gu Youyou’s heart leaped to her throat as her hand quietly reached behind her back to where she had her sleeping drug. Last time, she had used this method to knock out the wild man Uncle.
It was the only way she had, and she had to rely on it for now.
The wild man Uncle seemed to see through her plan, his split mouth showing a disdainful sneer.
Without making a sound, Gu Youyou could clearly see that his mouth had no tongue!
She was once again startled but discreetly held a needle in her hand.
Knowing he had been fooled once and wouldn’t let her succeed again, she still pinned her last hope on that medicated needle.
If he dared to bend over, she would stab him with the needle.
Unexpectedly, the wild man Uncle had no intention of bending over. He kicked the pheasant with his foot, then grunted threateningly at Gu Youyou.
Now Gu Youyou understood and also let out a sigh of relief. He wasn’t planning to deal with her; he wanted her to handle the pheasant!
Picking up the pheasant from the ground, Gu Youyou managed a wretched smile, her heart filled with infinite desolation!
Eating the pheasant would be nice, but she didn’t know how!
Gu Youyou looked toward the wild man Uncle, but before she could finish speaking, she was frightened back by his cannibalistic stare.
He glared at her as if warning her, then restlessly slapped the coffin lid, acting completely manic.
After several encounters, Gu Youyou felt the wild man Uncle was quick-tempered and easily irritated, best not to be provoked without reason.
She couldn’t help but feel a certain sympathy for these two individuals, both mute, one a fool, and the other suffering from mania, hidden away in these deep mountains and remote ridges, surely having their own compelling reasons.
Resigned to her fate, she grabbed the pheasant and went to a corner of the tomb chamber to pluck its feathers, a task that was far from easy when it was done dry.
