Two months had passed since Liam first proposed to escape. In his spare time, Lin Yang had thought back to that day over and over again, but he still couldn't understand why he had agreed to this man so easily. It was clear that he was already trembling with fear just thinking about his fate after his master found out. However, he nodded subconsciously as if his soul had left his body, and when he came to his senses, he saw Liam's calm and gentle smile in front of him.
Having said that, Lin Yang didn't want to disappoint Liam, so she packed her clothes and took Liam away the next day. She also had some hope in her heart. Her master hadn't come back for so long, maybe Liam could really escape, and after leaving here, she could go home to find her mother.
The first escape failed after three days. The reason was simple. The encounter with the carnivorous beast was enough to make the two girls flee in panic. They had no power to fight back. In panic, they climbed up a beech tree and stayed on the tree all night before they caught the wild boar that was running around and left. The package on its back was thrown away somewhere unknown. Lin Yang had no choice but to find the direction and take Liam back. However, this experience was not without gain for them. At least they both knew that the mountains and forests were vast and any danger could take their lives. If they really wanted to get out, they had to be fully prepared.
The two had discussed the matter seriously before going to bed that night. The two small figures sat cross-legged facing each other, very mature like those who had a late-night talk by candlelight. Liam's ideas were very clear. If they wanted to go further, they needed to do two things. One was to be able to protect themselves, and the other was to have enough food and water to ensure that they could get out of the forest. There was no shortage of food in the deep forest, but there was no guarantee of accidents. If they happened not to encounter wild fruits or rivers for a few days, they would need to prepare food that could last for a long time in advance. This was not a problem for Lin Yang. There was a kind of short tree under the cliff. Its roots were thick and swollen. They could be eaten as soon as they were dug out, and they could also be full after being dried and roasted over a fire. When she could calculate when she would become ill, she was worried that she would not be able to get out of bed due to the pain, so she would prepare these roots by the bed in advance to prevent herself from starving to death in bed.
In this case, the only difficulty left was to protect themselves. The two men meditated for a long time with sad faces, but the two little girls were thin and had no useful tools. They had no choice but to take two more flints with them, sleep on trees at night as much as possible, and light a fire under the trees to avoid wild beasts. Before setting off, they found some more trimmed branches, sharpened them and carried them on their backs. This was better than nothing.
