She took great pains to push the leader off herself. She stood up and looked around the tent. At this time, there were still campfires burning outside, and many people were walking around. She hid behind the tent and held her fire, planning to wait until the night was deeper and there were fewer people outside before she escaped.
Although the dark forest is also very scary, there may be some beasts that eat human flesh hiding in it, but compared to the humiliating situation that is right in front of her, she would rather run into the forest and be eaten by wild animals than be enslaved by savages.
I don't know how long I waited, until the firelight outside disappeared and the men and women entered their tents, before she cautiously ran out.
It was pitch black outside, and she couldn't tell where she was. But she couldn't worry about that now. As long as she could walk, she randomly picked a direction and quickly ran out of the circle of tents and plunged into the forest.
Soon, Anne regretted it.
Initially, fear of the primitive people in the tribe drove her to flee into the forest, but after running for a long time and feeling that she should be safe, she realized belatedly that the jungle at night seemed even more terrifying.
The towering trees that covered the sky and the huge roots that were intertwined, the moonlight was completely hidden by this forest, and the entire forest was pitch black.
The night wind blew, and she heard the sound of leaves rustling in the wind, as if something was slowly approaching. She couldn't see clearly, and she was on tenterhooks, always on the lookout for wild animals to attack her.
The dense jungle also has dense and sparse areas. In places where there are fewer trees, the moonlight shines through, making it brighter for the day. Out of the instinct of seeking light, Anne walked deeper and deeper towards the direction of light.
At this time, the long skirt was torn almost to pieces by those rough men, and now it was scraped and torn by the branches, which was particularly inconvenient to wear. However, after nightfall, the temperature plummeted, and the cold entered her bones. She could not take off her clothes, so she had to hang on to them, stumbling and tripping all the way, making it extremely difficult to walk.
The light was getting more and more abundant, faintly falling from the top of the head, and the whole forest was enveloped in a bright glow, which was a rare sense of tranquility and peace. But Anne's heart was not at all tranquil. The forest seemed endless, and when would it end?
At first, I didn't feel it, but now as I walk on, I find myself hungry and thirsty. It's not so bad being hungry, but thirsty is a major issue. This forest is full of tall trees, where can she find water?
Walking aimlessly, she suddenly heard a strange sound from the distance, as if something huge was approaching her at a very fast speed! She was terrified and about to run away, but before she could take action, she saw a huge tiger suddenly leap up in the distance, with yellow and black stripes, a bloodthirsty mouth with fangs, and huge and powerful front claws, rushing towards her.
When danger struck, she was so scared that she turned pale and shouted.
But in a flash, the tiger's movements suddenly stopped, and it stopped in mid-air. She heard the sound of a sharp object cutting through the air, but she didn't see what it was. The tiger fell to the ground with a bang, landing less than two feet away from her feet, sending up a cloud of dust and causing the earth to shake.
At this moment, Anne, who was still in shock, realized that a spear-like weapon had been inserted into the tiger's throat, penetrating all the way through, and the dark red blood had dyed its fur red.
Looking more closely, I noticed that the tiger was covered in blood and had many bloody wounds. It looked like it had been chased all the way here, and it was just bad luck for her to run into this cornered tiger.
After wandering on the edge of death, she felt her legs weaken and could no longer stand. She fell to the ground, pale and staring at the tiger corpse.
Who killed it? The person must be nearby!
Annie's first reaction was to run away as fast as she could. This deep forest, hunting tigers in the middle of the night, was not the land of her father's people. It was probably the cursed beast-eared primitive people. If she was caught again, she would inevitably be bullied and insulted.
With this thought, she scrambled to her feet and prepared to run in the opposite direction of the tiger.
But as soon as she stood up, she saw the man who had killed the tiger standing in front of her, silently and ghostly, making her body shake with fear.
But when she settled her mind and carefully looked at the person, she couldn't help but feel a surge of ecstasy.
This is not a cursed savage primitive!
The man who came was a young man, although he was also wearing rough clothes made of animal skins, but he was different from the men she and Anne had seen in the tribe. His skin was not dark, but a wild wheat color in the moonlight, like ancient rocks that had become hard and full of charm after years of erosion. His muscles were clearly visible, strong and powerful, solid and full. His eyes were like deep lakes, exuding a natural sense of power, as if even the air around him became tense and heated, and the whole person was full of primitive wildness and perseverance.
The most important thing is that he doesn't have those damn ears on his head!
Anne, like a drowning person who finally found a floating log, was overjoyed and rushed forward to grab the man's arm and begged, "Please, take me out, take me to a village with people, to the nearest state capital! I will repay you. I can give you gold, all gold. As long as you can take me out, I am willing to give you whatever you want!"
She made up her mind that this man must not be a primitive, and she rattled off a bunch of words. However, after the man heard it, he coldly shook her hand and a confused expression appeared on his face.
Anne understood, and her mood slowly turned sad.
She had seen such a confused expression many times, which was usually shown by primitive people who couldn't understand what she was saying.
This man also couldn't understand her words.
This man is not her kind, he can't understand English.
