Before he could finish, Gong Jie heard a growl coming from the actor's stomach.
He looked at the actor, who was instantly embarrassed. "Well…"
"Hungry?"
"Yeah."
"You haven't been eating well these past few days, huh?"
"Yeah."
"There!" The man took out a bag of dry rations from his backpack, but the actor took it with some misgivings.
"What about you? Do you have any more rations?"
"That's all. These are compressed rations. They should be able to give you some energy."
"If I ate it all, what would you have?"
Gong Jie didn't seem worried. "We'll take it one step at a time. I can hold up for a bit, it's not an issue. But if you can't, I'll have to carry you on my back. Then both of us will be done for."
Then, he said, "Let's see if we can hunt some living creatures tonight."
"Living creatures?"
"Yeah, like wild rabbits, wild deer… roast them."
"Oh… you know how to hunt?"
