Chapter 111 One Person’s Planet (6)

The liquid slipped into the throat, causing a violent cough. Yu Di choked and woke up. The red liquid she coughed up shocked her. If she hadn't seen the leaves thrown aside by the birdman, they were still stained with the same red liquid.

Di almost thought he had vomited blood.

But...the taste of this liquid is not blood.

"You...you..." Birdman saw that he was just feeding Yu Di something to replenish water, but she reacted so strongly and looked at her nervously.

"I'm fine." Yu Di took a few deep breaths and calmed down. This thing looked and smelled like blood, but it actually tasted sweet.

"What is this?" Yu Di pointed to the liquid remaining on the ground, made a gesture of drinking, and looked at the birdman blinking, expressing curiosity.

The birdman flapped his wings: "Tree."

Tree? Is this sap? There is such a strange thing. Birdman thinks this is drinkable, maybe she should go look for it.

But you must not take the same path just now.

Yu Di picked up the leaf, stood up, and walked in the direction he came from, leaning on the wooden stick.

She had to take the coffin and its contents with her before she could decide whether to look for the strange tree or continue looking for the river.

After struggling for so long, the hottest time has passed. Yu Di's occasional dizziness due to lack of water slowed down their pace.

From time to time, the birdman would disappear for a while and bring back some wilted small fruits. This little sugar and water content was better than nothing. Yu Di was quite pleased that all kinds of behaviors showed that the birdman truly regarded him as a companion.

"flute."

This encouragement did not last long. Birdman seemed to have discovered something, and stopped Yu Di, standing still with his back to her, looking around with a pair of vertical pupils warily.

Yu Di was afraid that the wild beasts that were staring at her would follow her, so she also held the stick tightly and listened carefully.

Just when she discerned an unusual movement, the birdman rushed out towards Yu Di's side and behind like an arrow from a string.

Yu Di did not follow immediately, but watched the birdman's blind spot to avoid anything taking advantage of it.

After confirming that it was safe, Yu Di followed him. The sounds of struggling behind the bushes stopped. The birdman's body was covered with fallen leaves, and the yellowish down on his chest was stained with blood, and a piece of it was sunken, as if it had been torn off.

appearance.

And what he was holding in his hand was the companion of the pig-headed fox, the long-beaked black-striped weasel.

It also has sharp and serrated teeth, and the long-snouted black-striped weasel has more than one ring. Yu Di can even see the hair on the birdman's body between its teeth.

"flute."

Birdman grinned and turned the beast's body over and over to show it to Yu Di as if he was taking credit for it, as if to say, "Look, how neatly I broke its neck!"

Dinner was arranged inexplicably. Yu Di smiled and nodded: "That's great."

Although traveling in the jungle with blood-stained prey is not a wise choice, time waits for no one, and they must walk as much as possible now to find a place to camp tonight.

Yu Di finally asked the birdman to take her to a tree with that kind of sap. There was really no stream nearby, so she had to drink something - besides blood.

Yu Di pointed to the lighter, indicating that he would wait until a fire was lit to roast it before eating it.

With Birdman as a strong companion, the beasts have to make careful decisions if they want to prey on Yu Di.

At Yu Di's insistence, Birdman took her on a detour and came to a big tree that looked very...well, kind-hearted.

This tree is so thick that even the long-armed and long-legged Birdman needs two people to hug it together.

The trunk of the tree formed a huge smiling face, and there was a sudden dark red lump on the cheek, which should be the place where the birdman had taken the sap.

The creatures on this planet are weird. Yu Di is not sure whether this thing is a complete plant, so he reaches out and knocks on the tree trunk.

The branches and leaves of the big tree trembled a few times. Yu Di placed her palms on them and closed her eyes. Sure enough, she felt a slight tremor.

The birdman on the side flapped its wings and bit a hole in the prey's neck. Thick blood gushed out and fell on the tree roots exposed on the ground like a stream. After a while, it disappeared without a trace.

The dark red lump on the "cheek" suddenly fell off and began to overflow with blood-like juice. Birdman quickly caught some of it with his hands and signaled Yu Di to drink quickly.

Yu Di ignored the discomfort in her heart and imitated the bird-man's behavior, leaning close to the tree trunk and catching some with her hands - she had to take in water now.

It's really sweet.

The cracks in the tree bark condensed again, and the birdman licked his palm, urging Yu Di to light a fire.

He is hungry.

Yu Di set up the coffin near some broken trees, built a simple shelter with parachute cloth, took out the last bit of wood shavings, and lit it in the palm of his hand.

The birdman consciously picked up a lot of dry firewood, and carefully learned how to make fire with the Yudi.

Yu Di used sharp metal fragments to process the long-nosed black-striped weasel, divided it into two pieces, one large and one small, then tied them up with branches and put them on the fire.

Ten minutes later, the aroma of meat was already overflowing. The birdman imitated Yu Di's posture and sat cross-legged on the side, with the ends of his wings hanging on the ground. All he could see in his vertical eyes was the sizzling meat.

Yu Di was also swallowing hard, and then handed the big piece to the birdman until it was completely cooked.

The birdman went to eat it, and was delighted to see it burnt to pieces. Yu Di laughed and ate his portion, and suddenly felt that the world seemed pretty good.

After eating, they put the remaining bones and internal organs away and picked some leaves to wipe their hands.

Unlike the horse-faced rabbit, the birdman was afraid of heat but not cold. He stuffed two thick logs into the firewood pile and lay down next to Yudi to help her resist the cool night breeze.

Yu Di used the only remaining battery panel to make a lighter by the light of the fire.

She couldn't be here forever, and Birdman couldn't leave. Apart from this, she couldn't think of any better gift to give him.

Birdman didn't wear any clothes, so in order to make it easier for him to carry it, Yu Di took great pains to cut a piece of parachute rope and securely tied the lighter.

Seeing that he was already asleep, Yu Di gently put the rope around the birdman's neck.

The fire burned steadily, and the starry sky was still densely populated. Yu Di rested his arm on his arm and looked at the space station above his head for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously.

When Birdman woke up, he found that there was something on his neck. After figuring out what it was, he flapped his wings happily and accidentally woke up Yu Di.

Yu Di covered his scratched face, squinted his eyes and sat up.

"What happened?"

I saw that Birdman's face was almost smiling.

She rubbed her forehead.

This stupid bird.

The fire was almost extinguished, and the surrounding light was enough to distinguish the route. Yu Di got up and packed his things, planning to continue towards the river.

The dew in this area was heavier than when she first arrived. If there wasn't a water source, it was going to rain.

No matter which one it is, it's good news for Yu Di.

After having enough food and rest, Yu Di felt full of strength, and it was much easier to carry the coffin.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of the Smiling Face Tree, and there was an empty space there - the Smiling Face Tree was gone! There was only a piece of messy soil left on the ground.

Birdman seemed to be used to this. After two days of communication, he already knew that Yu Di was looking for a stream. Before Yu Di could figure out what was going on on the smiling tree, he picked up the coffin and headed in the direction of the rising sun.

.

Yu Di quickly followed.
