Chapter 53

~End of chapter 52

After arriving here, Mu Qing noticed that Naduo and the girls were drinking water directly from the upper reaches of this stream. Although the water looked crystal clear, she was used to boiling water before drinking it. She tried to make Youyou and the others drink the boiled water like her, but it was not very effective so after trying to make them drink a few times, she gave up.

Now she felt very thirsty, as if she did not drink water right now, she would really be like a fish in dry water, with the sun overhead, like she would die from the thirst and the dryness.

She leaned down on the side of the stream, put her face close to the murmuring flow of water, and gulped large mouthfuls of water, until her stomach was so full she could no longer bear it, she then buried her head completely into the water, and stopped moving.

Chapter 53

(17.4)

Mu Qing’s ear drums were plunged in quietness, only the muffled sound of the turbulent flow of water was left. She felt a cool sensation, and her brain immediately also cleared up a lot.

Her lungs were suffocating and about to explode when she lifted her head out of the water and inclined her head towards the sky, letting out a long breath.

The water she had just drank, was water from at least 10,000 years ago. The air she was breathing was air from at least 10,000 years ago. And this extraordinarily high sky above her head, was also the sky from at least 10,000 years ago.

But she was alive and had been living well for fifteen days. She had no reason not to continue to live on.

She closed her eyes and wiped her head and face that were full of water drops.

She had left the settlement for a while already, and if she didn’t come back very soon, Li Mang would probably come looking for her again when he finds out she was gone.

She stood up, but when she turned around, she found that someone had been standing behind her, from which point in time was uncertain.

Yi Jia was standing behind her like a ghost, with a smile on his face that looked exactly the same as the one she saw that day by the stream, frivolous and insolent.

Mu Qing, caught off guard, was startled.

But her anger immediately rose when she saw him touching something from behind his back, before squeezing it between two of his fingers and waving it teasingly in front of her.

It was the underwear that had been stolen from her.

Mu Qing thought that if she ever wears this thing again in the future, she will have a psychological barrier. But even if she did not want this thing anymore, this piece of fabric could not continue to stay in Yi Jia’s hands.

Li Mang knew that it was something she wore close to her body. If she couldn’t get it back, and then one day, he knew that it had fallen into Yi Jia’s hands, it would not be a fun thing. From her observation of the habits of the people living here during the past half month, although most of the men’s belongings were for public use, this did not include their women. Even the few women who had families with two men, their coexistence was not entirely peaceful.

Just a few days ago there was a fight between two men, and later, the chief had to come out to quell the fight. But the way the two men, between the laughter of the crowd, looked at each other’s eyes, it was a look of them being totally unable to coexist under the same sky. They had the complete desire to have offspring of their own blood, which was perhaps a desire innate in male animals, once the conditions were reunited, this desire would be expressed in the form of exclusivity.

Before today, Mu Qing may not have been so interested in the lost underwear, or rather, she was not very interested in Li Mang’s opinion. But now it was not the same. She knew her situation now. From now on, if she wanted to live well, she would have to rely on Li Mang. As far as she could see, he was the only man that she could hold on to. It was a little sad, but she had to face reality. She didn’t want Li Mang to get the wrong idea about her because of this man that was obviously just trying to tease and play with her, especially since she couldn’t even speak and explain the situation.

Mu Qing did not look at what he was holding, but just stared at Yi Jia, as a smile slowly appearing on her face.

Yi Jia thought that she would come up to him to grab her thing immediately after seeing him with it, and he was prepared to tease her as if she was a prey.

But her reaction now made him a little stunned.
