C458 Tree Grape
Black Tiger felt some sympathy for her as he heard the rumbling sounds of her stomach. This girl was unlike them. However, Mu Qingqing was different. If she were to eat raw meat, she would definitely have diarrhea.
Steve Burwen was listening to the song with a radiant face and a very satisfied expression. He was about to have a huge amount of money and without any accidents, he would soon be able to go around without leaving the tobacco company.
Mu Qingqing closed her eyes and saw that Steve Bewin's mind was filled with images of the sunlit beauties on the beach. She secretly gnashed her teeth in her heart. This person was truly enjoyable. Using a living person to make money for them, wasn't there not even the slightest bit of sympathy in his mind for those people?
After a night of silence, he did not expect that Steve Burwen would not fly directly to the island. Instead, he would go to a foreign country.
"We will be spending a day and a night here. Are you going to prepare the tents?" Steve Bewin cheered and stood up, waving his arms. He pointed down into the dense jungle.
Mu Qingqing looked around with her eyes closed, almost dying from anger.
He looked around. The jungle was very dense and it was the same feeling as in the rainforest. There were also many wild animals in the surroundings. If she were to spend the night in a place like this, she felt like she might go crazy.
The plane slowly glided towards a flat area.
Mu Qingqing looked at Steve Burwen dumbly. She had thought that there would be trouble. She never thought that Steve Burwen would be crazy enough to bring them to such a desolate place!
"Director Shi, I applied to sleep on the plane." Mu Qingqing was the first to speak. She didn't want to become the jungle beast's food. Before they came, Steve Burwen told them to prepare their luggage. Mu Qingqing thought that he would stay in a hotel or something, but she didn't expect him to be so stingy as to let them sleep in the wilderness just to save a living expenses.
"The plane is returning. Do you want to go back?" Steve Boven's eyes flashed as he asked her in a good mood.
Considering that he still had a quest on him, it was impossible for him to retreat. Mu Qingqing tilted her head and her gaze stopped at a tall, lush tree.
She worked up the courage to walk over to the hatch.
The temperature down below was really low. Mu Qingqing was still wearing her thin shirt, and she could already feel the cool air from the open cabin door.
After getting off the plane, she was shivering from the cold.
Black Tiger helped her carry her luggage. Although the tent was gone, it still contained a few warm clothes.
Steve Bewin found a place to set up his tent, but he didn't ask Mu Qingqing for help.
As for her and Black Tiger, they could only think of their own ways to fight the cold.
Black Tiger was quite used to it, so he kicked the leaves to a pile and built a bonfire.
Mu Qingqing took two pieces of clothing from her suitcase, looked at them, and felt that once the floor was covered, she would have no clothes to change into. With a sigh, she focused her gaze on the huge leaves in the forest.
After picking a lot of leaves from the tree, Mu Qingqing's shirt had already been dyed green. The forest had never been contaminated. There was some dust on the leaves, but it didn't matter. She placed the leaves down and then laid them out on the dry ground, layer by layer.
Inside the tent, Steve Burwen was snoring loudly. Outside the tent, Mu Qingqing was still climbing trees, picking leaves and covering the ground.
Black Tiger didn't stay idle either. He picked up a pile of firewood and added it to the fire.
The atmosphere was strange, yet harmonious. It was unknown what Steve Burwen was planning. He didn't go directly to the new project's location, but he had brought them to this damned place.
Mu Qingqing originally wanted to question Steve Burwen, but after some thought, she realized that it was useless. He had already brought them to this damned place, so no one responded to their howls. Besides, Steve Bewin was a suspicious person, so he would ask her too many questions. If he sent her back, then all his previous efforts would have been for naught.
After she finished spreading the leaves, she also helped Black Tiger with one. He was also implicated by her. Steve Burwen did this because she had killed his six brothers.
Black Tiger seemed to have gone into the woods to pick up firewood. Mu Qingqing tightly wrapped her woolen coat around her and rubbed her hands as she sat beside the fire to heat up the wood. The tropical rain forest was quite hot during the day and only had a few degrees at night.
After a while, Black Tiger came back with a pile of fruits in his shirt. He also had one in his mouth.
Seeing the leaf bed Mu Qingqing had made for him, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile. He did not disappoint his good intentions.
"Here." Black Tiger shook all the fruits inside his shirt onto Mu Qingqing's leaves.
Mu Qingqing was a little taken aback by the sight of the dark fruits. She did not have much experience surviving in the wilderness, so she was unable to recognize what kind of fruit it was.
"Don't worry, there's no poison." Black Tiger had already eaten quite a few martial arts.
Mu Qingqing picked up the black fruit and observed that it was shaped like a grape, black and glowing in the firelight. Mu Qingqing gave Black Tiger a grateful look.
She slowly peeled off the surface layer of the black fruit, revealing the sparkling and translucent fruit. After taking a bite, she felt a sweet taste.
"It's a tree grape, its skin can be eaten as well." Black Tiger reminded him.
"Never washed." Mu Qingqing replied in embarrassment.
Black Tiger smiled. He could only let her do as she pleased. He lay on the bed of leaves that Mu Qingqing had made, gradually falling asleep while smelling the fresh scent of the plants.
When she had enough firewood, Mu Qingqing ate the sweet and juicy grapes slowly. The hunger in her stomach finally disappeared. She lay on her side on the leaves, the warm light of the bonfire on her face, the fire in her eyes.
The clothes were wrapped around her, barely warm. But on a night like this, she couldn't sleep.
The people in the tent were sleeping soundly. Mu Qingqing couldn't feel any sense of security when facing the vast rainforest. She knew that Black Tiger wasn't asleep either. He was only in a light slumber and would wake up if he made any noise.
She closed her eyes and tried to see his dreams in order to observe his thoughts.
Unfortunately, she didn't see anything. Steve Bewin was sleeping soundly, and there were no signs of him dreaming at all.
After the fire had burned out, Mu Qingqing felt the cold. She curled up her body and gradually woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw the dense rain forest, which was filled with sunlight. She still felt that she was in a trance.
Steve Bewin had built a new fire and was currently roasting something to eat.
Mu Qingqing quickly sat up and looked down at her wrapped clothes. She was still a little nervous.
"You guys were secretly searching for food in the middle of the night behind my back, and you didn't even prepare anything for me." Steve Bewin got up early in the morning and saw the peels by the fire. He knew that they had eaten the grapes from the tree last night, so he couldn't help but scold Mu Qingqing and the others.
Black Tiger pretended not to hear him, while Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows.
"Director Shi, didn't you say that there is a new project for you to travel to? Why did you bring us here?" Mu Qingqing put away her clothes and took out a mouthwash cup and a washcloth.
"It's also important to survey the terrain of the new project."
"Are you selling tobacco to the devil?" "What's in here?" Mu Qingqing looked around and saw no one within a four kilometer radius.
After last night's flight, they didn't even have a means of transportation. No one knew what Steve Burwen was planning.
"Who says it's for selling tobacco? The new project is a laboratory for medical research. We need to find the address here." Steve Bwing pointed at the tent and said to Mu Qingqing, "Put away the tent. I'll take you guys to the boat later."
Without a word, Mu Qingqing went to help Steve Bewin pack up his tent. Right now, she didn't have any other choice but to listen to Steve Bewin's orders.
As for his request to take a boat, Mu Qingqing did not quite understand. Shouldn't a helicopter be the one that came to pick them up and pick them up on that deserted island?
Black Tiger picked a lot of tree grapes from the forest and put them into his backpack. For Mu Qingqing's hunger and thirst.
The flickering light reflected on the road ahead. Mu Qingqing's luggage was taken care of by Black Tiger, but she didn't have a easy life to live. After all, she had taken all of Steve Bewin's luggage.
Mu Qingqing didn't complain at all about this.
The unknown fragrant grass was emitting some fragrance. Mu Qingqing just lowered her head and followed Black Tiger, carrying the suitcase made it difficult for her.
"Enjoy the fresh air of this island. You won't be able to breathe this fresh air tomorrow." Steve Burwen twirled around in a cute way with the word "Cozy" written all over his face.
"Why?" Mu Qingqing was very good at asking him why. In front of Steve Burwen, she always maintained a shameless attitude.1
Steve Bewin smiled mysteriously, but didn't give her an answer.
As they passed through the forest, Black Tiger noticed the footprints from before. He hesitated a little as he glanced at Steve Burwen. This man traveled freely in the forest because of his frequent visits. Moreover, the path they were taking was purposefully avoiding the tracks of wild beasts. It could be seen that the road they were walking on was one that had been probed by their predecessors.
But the place they were about to go to made Black Tiger think about his future. Steve Bewin didn't use the simplest and fastest helicopter to go, instead, he chose to walk. No matter how he looked at it, it was strange. Black Tiger could not guess where they were going.
When Mu Qingqing pushed aside a clump of bushes that stuck closely to each other, she saw a light blue beach. If they were on vacation at the moment, Mu Qingqing would be in a good mood.
However, when Steve Bewin pushed aside another clump of bushes to reveal a boat that could seat five people, Mu Qingqing felt what it was like to be in despair.
She had used her perspective last night, but had not noticed the boat by the sea.
"Come." Steve Bewin waved at her.
Mu Qingqing threw aside her tent and clothing and followed suit.
"Have you seen Robinson Crusoe?" Steve Bewin pushed the boat toward the beach, not forgetting to ask Mu Qingqing.
