Chapter 1008 I am useful
"Are you okay?" Zhang Tuohai squatted in front of Mo Zi, holding Mo Zi's little face and asked.
"No..." Mo Zi was trembling, her throat couldn't make any sound, her body was shaking constantly, but she still nodded vigorously.
The scene just now scared her. After all, she was just a kid in junior high school, and that scene was too exciting for her.
She was so frightened that she lost her voice .
"Don't worry, everything is over." Zhang Tuohai patted Mo Zi's back gently to soothe her emotions.
Zhang Tuohai could even feel Mo Zi's nervous heartbeat through her clothes.
Mozi held the grilled fish tightly in her hands, leaned on Zhang Tuohai's shoulder, and tears fell down her face.
Zhang Tuohai patted Mozi's shoulder gently and comforted her in a low voice.
After a long while, Mozi finally recovered and sat down next to the fire again.
Zhang Tuohai dragged several bodies to the riverside and examined them one by one.
Zhang Tuohai checked all the bodies one by one and found that each person had a key tied to his chest with a chain. The chain was welded. Zhang Tuohai tried to pull it, but couldn't pull it apart, and he couldn't take it off from the head either.
"It turns out they are mortal enemies." Zhang Tuohai understood.
If you don't have professional cutting tools, you can only kill the butcher if you want to get the key.
Zhang Tuohai found the scimitar on the waist of the man holding the bow and arrow, cut off the necks of several people, and got the key.
From the fat man's shoes, Zhang Tuohai found a drawing that depicted a map of the nearby forest. On the top of a mountain, a cross was drawn with a red pen.
Zhang Tuohai took a look and saw that the mountain was not far from here. If he walked upstream along the river, he would be able to see the mountain.
"Could that be the place where we left?" Zhang Tuohai decided to go and take a look tomorrow.
Zhang Tuohai collected useful things from several people, found a pair of boots that fit, several pairs of socks that could be used as ignition, clothes that could be torn into strips to use as ropes, and collected the remaining weapons of several people, including a scimitar, a bow, twelve arrows, a scimitar, and a mace.
As for food, Zhang Tuohai only found a Snickers bar and a piece of plastic-wrapped beef jerky in the pockets of several people.
"A bunch of poor bastards."
Zhang Tuohai put the things into his pocket with disgust, then threw several bodies into the river, letting them float away along the river.
Zhang Tuohai washed his hands and returned to the fire.
"Hey, I found something good, do you want to try it?"
Zhang Tuohai took out a Snickers bar and came to Mo Zi.
Mozi didn't respond.
Zhang Tuohai squatted down, but found that Mozi had fallen asleep.
He held the grilled fish in his hands, rested his face on his knees, and snored softly.
Zhang Tuohai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took his skewer of grilled fish from Mozi's arms and ate it slowly.
After eating, they moved the fire away and put the foam on the ground where the fire had originally been. It was already very hot here, so it would not be easy to catch a cold if you sleep here.
Mozi was lying on the ground, holding the grilled fish and snoring softly.
Zhang Tuohai found some branches and added them to the campfire from time to time, staring at the campfire in a daze.
When he was busy during the day, he didn't notice anything. But when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he would always think of Lilith, Xiao Ai, and Zhao Wanwan. He didn't know how they were doing. He hadn't seen them for a long time.
We could have met again today, it's all because of that Barbara. Once I catch her, I will definitely spank her hard.
Zhang Tuohai broke off the branch in his hand and threw it into the fire.
The sky gradually brightened and Mozi slowly woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked around blankly. Then she remembered that this was not her bedroom full of dolls, but a vast forest.
She was no longer the student who had to worry about her studies every day, but a survivor being hunted by a butcher.
The bonfire was still burning, dispersing the morning mist by the river and bringing a touch of warmth.
"By the way, where is the uncle who saved me yesterday?" Mo Zi looked around for Zhang Tuohai.
In the vast forest, only with that uncle could she feel a little safe.
But there was no trace of that person anywhere around.
"Uncle?" Mo Zi became flustered.
Last night, she had already regarded Zhang Tuohai as her support. Without Zhang Tuohai, she really didn't know how to survive in this jungle.
"Uncle?" Mo Zi shouted anxiously.
"What's wrong?" At this time, a voice came from behind.
Mozi hurriedly turned around and found Zhang Tuohai walking out of the woods behind him, holding a fat rabbit in his hand.
"I get tired of grilled fish if I eat too much. I went hunting for a rabbit this morning to change the taste. I also picked some mushrooms. It's a pity that I couldn't find a pot, otherwise I could make soup."
Zhang Tuohai said as he carried the prey he had slowly harvested.
"Uncle!" Mo Zi threw herself on Zhang Tuohai, buried her face in him, and her body kept shaking like a quail that had gone bad.
"I thought you were going to abandon me." Mo Zi whispered, "It's great that you can come back."
Zhang Tuohai was stunned for a moment, then he said, "You have to hurry up and eat. We still have to go to the top of the mountain today. Maybe that's the direction to leave. Maybe you can go home today."
"Yeah." Mo Zi nodded and let go of Zhang Tuohai. She didn't know why, but she felt a little unhappy.
Zhang Tuohai went to the river to clean rabbits and mushrooms, then strung the cleaned rabbits and mushrooms on tree branches and roasted them slowly.
After yesterday's practice, his skills have obviously improved a lot, at least there won't be so many burnt parts anymore.
The mushrooms were cooked first, and Zhang Tuohai handed a string of grilled mushrooms to Mozi.
Mozi took the grilled mushrooms and ate them in small bites. The grilled mushrooms gave off a special aroma. Mozi always felt that they were more fragrant and flavorful than the grilled mushrooms she ate in a barbecue restaurant.
As soon as he finished eating the grilled mushrooms, Zhang Tuohai tore half of the grilled rabbit and gave it to Mozi.
"Eat, and then get ready to continue our journey. Today's journey is not short." Zhang Tuohai said.
"Yeah." Mozi responded and ate the rabbit meat in big mouthfuls.
Normally, she hardly eats meat, and if she does, she only occasionally eats some chicken breast or something like that.
However, this is a forest and there may be butchers chasing them at any time. In order to survive, she must be strong and powerful , or at least not hold them back.
Mozi encouraged herself and slowly ate half of the rabbit.
"Get ready to go." Seeing Mozi finished eating, Zhang Tuohai stood up, picked up his things and prepared to leave.
At this moment, Mo Zi rushed to tie up those things and carried them on her back.
Looking at Zhang Tuohai's inquiring eyes, Mo Zi raised her head and said, "I am useful."
