They had discovered the wreckage of the plane, so they decided to search the forest. Ying Qingcang couldn't show up, so Wan Qingsi led his men and started a carpet search. To his surprise, Lin Musheng was there as well.
"It's my fault for not disciplining them properly," Lin Musheng said. "It's only right that I help with the search. As for Ding Quan, you can do whatever you want with him after this." After saying that, Lin Musheng disappeared into the forest. Everyone searched until midnight before they set up their tents and rested.
Xiao Hua saw that Wan Qingsi wanted to continue searching, so she stopped him. "Young Master," she said. "You can't see well at night. If you don't get some rest, you won't have the strength to continue tomorrow."
Wan Yi and Wan Er were about to follow him and continue the search when Wan Qingsi suddenly turned and went back into his tent. "Sleep. We'll leave at dawn."
Asha woke up early in the morning. The fire had been extinguished at some point. Depp was probably dreaming. He was drooling and smacking his lips.
"Get up, Depp!" Asha woke him up. "We have to hurry. We have to get out of here before it gets dark."
The two of them crawled out of the cave. It was cold in the forest in the morning. Asha shivered when she saw Depp stomping his feet. "Let's go," she said. "We won't feel cold if we start exercising."
Asha looked in the direction of the rising sun. She could only make a rough estimate of their location. Besides, the most important thing right now was to find a water source. Asha walked toward an area with dense vegetation. When she saw moss growing on the ground, she knew they were close to a water source.
Sure enough, they didn't walk far before they heard the sound of running water. Depp screamed and ran toward the sound. "Someone's here!"
"Someone?" Asha's eyes lit up. She hurried after Depp, but her face darkened when she saw who it was.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Musheng was crouching by the river, filling a water bottle with water. When he saw them, he stood up. "Looks like I got lucky. I found you two first!"
"You came here to find us?" Asha frowned. "An Ru did this, didn't she?"
An Ru had seduced Ding Quan and made him help her plan the kidnapping. Lin Musheng nodded. "What happened on the plane? How did the plane crash into the mountain?"
"Ah! It was all thanks to Depp that he managed to subdue the kidnapper. In the end, we didn't know how to fly a plane, so he had to parachute out with me! " After Asha finished speaking, she rushed to the edge of the water with a frightened look. "Finally, there's water. I'm dying of thirst. Boohoo!"
Depp stared at her with a strange expression. Asha winked at him from where she lay. Depp understood what she meant. After washing his face, he asked Lin Musheng, "How should I address you?"
"Lin." Lin Musheng glanced at him. "I didn't expect a superstar to know how to survive in the wild!"
Depp and Asha looked fine except for the dust on their bodies. It was obvious that they had a good night.
Depp chuckled. "Why don't you take us out of here? There's nothing to eat in this mountain. We've finished all the wild fruits we picked. "
"Can you contact Qingsi first?" Asha said pitifully. "I miss him so much."
Lin Musheng looked at her and said, "Okay." His hand reached into his pocket. Then, his expression changed. "Oh no! My communicator is gone!"
Asha's heart sank. "This idiot …" she thought.
"Depp, what should we do? We can't get out of here. Are we going to die here? I'm so hungry! I need to eat. Boohoo … "
Depp was more shocked by the loss of his communicator than by Asha's reaction. He finally understood that Asha didn't want Lin Musheng to know about her other side.
"Ahem!" Depp cleared his throat. "So what do we do now? Keep going?" He stole a glance at Ah Sha.
Lin Musheng patted the backpack on his back. "I still have some food here. Let's stay here and wait. I'm sure Wan Qingsi will find us soon enough."
What he didn't mention was that Wan Qingsi was heading in a completely different direction from him.
"Depp, what do you think?" Asha's eyes were red. "But there's water here. There should be some small animals here. It would be great if there were some pheasants. We can catch them and eat them."
Depp understood what she meant. He nodded and said to Lin Musheng, "I think we should stay here. At least there's a water source." He stole another glance at Asha and saw her gesture. "Mr. Lin," he asked Lin Musheng, "do you have a tent with you? If you do, we'd better find a cave."
"I have a tent and some tools. Even if Wan Qingsi can't find us tonight, we should be able to spend the night." Lin Musheng opened his backpack and began taking things out.
Ah Sha hurried over, her face filled with curiosity as she flipped through this and that.
Lin Musheng and Depp set up the tent. They dug a hole in a dry area and hung a small iron pot to boil water.
"You stay here and keep watch. We'll go look for something to eat." Lin Musheng handed Asha a piece of chocolate. "Eat this if you're hungry."
Asha took the chocolate and thanked him. Depp stared at her with wide eyes. "I want some too!"
After the two men left, Asha stood up and checked her surroundings. When she was sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, she sat down by the water and stared blankly.
Lin Musheng had lost his communicator? It was too suspicious. But if he didn't lose it, why didn't he take it out? Asha wondered if Lin Musheng was starting to suspect her.
She touched the necklace around her neck. There was a packet of medicinal powder in it. It was the only medicinal powder she had. Lin Musheng might have a gun. She couldn't give him the chance to confirm that she was Lady Poison.
"What are you thinking about?" A voice suddenly interrupted Asha's thoughts. Lin Musheng was walking toward her with a rabbit in his hand.
Asha's heart sank when she saw the rabbit covered in blood. He really did have a gun.
"Ah, this is a rabbit?" Asha covered her face. "Why is it covered in blood?"
Lin Musheng threw the rabbit to the water's edge with a half-smile. "I shot it."
"But I didn't hear a gunshot!" Asha blinked.
"Because it's a silencer." Lin Musheng took out a set of knives from his waist pouch and began to deal with the rabbit. Asha retched. "Gross!" She said, then ran into the tent.
"Where's Depp?" She asked, poking her head out of the tent.
Lin Musheng had his back to her. "I told him to go get some firewood."
As he spoke, he saw Depp return with a large bundle of firewood.
"I'll help you start the fire!" Asha ran over to him. Lin Musheng had brought some tools with him. With Asha's help, Depp was able to start the fire in no time. Lin Musheng skewered the rabbit on a wooden stick and roasted it over the fire.
Although the meat was only seasoned with salt, it was enough for Depp, who hadn't eaten for two days. He ate half of the rabbit by himself. When he was done, he lay down on a rock nearby, basking in the sun and sleeping.
"Aren't you tired?" Lin Musheng asked Asha. "You can take a nap. We have to take turns keeping watch tonight."
Asha scolded him in her mind. This guy must be doing this on purpose. She'd already put on such an act, but he still wanted her to keep watch.
"I'm not sleepy. I saw a lot of mushrooms on my way here. I'll go get some!" Asha stood up and walked into the forest. She needed to avoid contact with Lin Musheng as much as possible. That guy was no ordinary person. He could easily see through her if she wasn't careful.
Asha wandered around the forest for a long time, leaving behind markings that only Xunxun could understand. Then she picked some mushrooms and brought them back. They could be used to make soup for dinner.
By the time she returned, Depp was already awake. He was chatting with Lin Musheng. Depp probably knew that Asha was wary of Lin Musheng, so he only talked about filming. Depp took the mushrooms from Asha's hat when she returned.
"Are these edible? I heard that the mushrooms in the mountains are poisonous. "
Asha pouted. "I think they're all edible. I'm not sure." She looked at Lin Musheng. "Mr. Lin, can you tell them apart?"
"Let me see." Lin Musheng took the mushrooms and flipped through them. "Heh. You're really lucky. They're all non-poisonous." He glanced at Asha. "Am I right?"
"Really?" Asha giggled. "I've always been lucky!"
This time, it was Lin Musheng and Depp's turn to leave. Asha washed the mushrooms and soaked them in the pot. She glanced at the forest worriedly. She had seen animal bones just now, which meant that there might be ferocious beasts nearby.
While the sky was still dark, the three of them made a pot of mushroom soup. Lin Musheng took off his only sleeping bag and used it as a cover. Night fell. Depp asked Lin Musheng to get some rest since he had slept during the day.
Asha couldn't possibly be alone with Lin Musheng, so she told Depp that she couldn't sleep and sat outside to chat with him. Depp had a lot of questions to ask, but Asha wrote a few words on the ground.
"Don't ask. We'll talk when we get back."
In the middle of the night, Lin Musheng came out of the tent. "You guys go get some rest. I'll keep watch for the rest of the night."
Asha stood up and went into the tent. Depp said politely, "I'll take a nap. Wake me up when you're tired. We can talk later."
"Okay." Lin Musheng glanced at Asha, who was already lying down.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Asha suddenly woke up. She felt that something was wrong. She ran out of the tent and saw a few green dots in the distance. They flickered eerily in the dark.
"What … what are those?" She cursed inwardly. It was a pack of wolves.
Lin Musheng had a gun in his hand. When he heard her question, he said calmly, "A few wolves."
Asha's mouth twitched. Was that a few wolves? There were at least a dozen of them.
"Ah!" She screamed. "What do we do now? We're going to be eaten. "
Lin Musheng looked at her. "I still have twelve bullets. I can throw you out first, then the one sleeping like a pig. That'll be enough for me to kill them all while they're eating you.
Asha stared at him in shock. She wanted nothing more than to throw Lin Musheng out first. She knew he was capable of doing something like that.
"You … you can't do that. Wan … Wan Qingsi won't let you get away with it."
Lin Musheng gave her a mocking look. "How would he know? By the time they find this place, I'll already be gone. There'll be nothing left but the corpses of the wolves. I'll throw your clothes and your remains into the river. "
