Reflecting on the recent events, the man found the words and actions of the soldier who seemed to be the leader particularly disturbing.
‘A reason to search at night. Does it mean they’re not after capturing someone? A search worth risking several lives for.’
Hoping the search wasn’t because of him, the man bit his lip anxiously.
‘Useless.’
All he could do was carry a physically weaker woman while running. He knew nothing else, no knowledge, no common sense, just smooth talk.
‘Damn.’
He despised his own incompetence.
“…….”
Tap tap. Sharti’s careful index finger touched the man’s chin, snapping him out of his thoughts. He paused and looked at her.
Sharti held out her palm, gesturing in front of him.
‘What’s wrong? Are you hurt? You look upset.’
The words written on her small palm somewhat eased his frustration.
“I have a question.”
“…….”
“……Yes.”
Sharti nodded.
The man averted his gaze, furrowing his brows.
“What would you have done if the bears hadn’t shown up just then? ……Yes?”
The wind blew.
His damp bangs fluttered from the heat of his body.
Sharti, noticing he was still avoiding eye contact, repeatedly slapped his shoulder.
‘This is how we talk. Look here. At me.’
“…….”
‘Do you know what the powder I spread on the ground was?’
He shook his head.
The corner of Sharti’s mouth, hidden by her hood, slightly lifted.
‘It’s an herb with an excitatory effect that predators like to eat.’
“What?”
He stopped in surprise.
Unbeknownst to him, it was one of the herbs Sharti always carried deep into the mountains.
‘It has no strong addictive properties. It’s a sweet-tasting herb that predators fight over. So, I sprinkled it on the ground, leaving a long trail, hoping to attract at least one predator.’
“And then…….”
‘We were covered in mud, and I only sprinkled it on the ground we passed, not where we stepped. But the soldiers following us must have stepped on it at least once. So, the predator’s target is limited to them.’
“…….”
The man was speechless. He was torn between admiring her thorough preparation and sighing at her daring audacity.
Yet, his reaction remained the same.
‘How did you collect such herbs? Isn’t that dangerous for a doctor? ……Yes?’
“…….”
Seeing him frown, he looked somewhat threatening.
Hesitating briefly, she quickly shook her head.
‘There’s a safe way to collect them. It’s not dangerous.’
His lips twitched, but he said nothing. After all, he owed his life and protection to her, so it seemed presumptuous for him to comment.
He simply resumed walking in silence.
The man supported Sharti, who was light and small in stature, more sturdily.
‘…So only humans are scary, huh.’
The fearless Sharti seemed to show anxiety only towards humans. He remembered how she reacted when her face was exposed after her hood was accidentally removed.
‘This distance is just right.’
The man with good night vision quickened his pace, following the direction Sharti pointed.
Finally, the old log house came into their view.
“Is this it? ……Yes?”
He set Sharti down.
Relieved to have safely reached the house, Sharti was about to lead him inside when he stopped.
“Someone’s in the house.”
The shadow of someone was visible beyond the house’s lit windows.
Sharti, panicked, quickly turned around with the man and opened the door to a long, narrow shed. The man frowned as the door swung open.
The man gave Sharti a look of disbelief.
“…….”
Sharti, with her eyes tightly shut, acted as the man had anticipated.
“Wait, just a minute…!”
Sharti pushed the man into the shed alone.
Shush. She quickly covered her mouth with her finger and shut the shed door.
The loud bang left the man alone in the darkness, his facial muscles stiffening.
“Hmm? You’re back, Sha. Where have you been till now?”
Sharti, with a tense face, slowly turned away from the shed.
Bireta, with a bent back and wrinkled face, was emerging from her house.
“Why are you at the fermentation shed? Didn’t I say it still needs more time to mature?”
Sharti forced a smile, realizing the state of the herbs inside the shed.
“…….”
The man, unintentionally locked in the fermentation shed, once again gathered his patience.
Sadly, his sense of smell, which he had suspected was damaged, had not failed him.
He faced an even longer and more challenging time than when hiding behind the rock.
‘But there was nowhere else to hide!’
He belatedly voiced his explanation inwardly.
Sharti approached Bireta, trying to hide her anxiety.
She couldn’t let Bireta get close to the shed.
‘I didn’t know you were waiting. Sorry for being late, Grandma. I thought you had already left because it was late.’
Bireta clicked her tongue.
“I worried when you suddenly ran out of the house right after I told you soldiers were coming up the mountain.”
In fact, it was Bireta who had informed Sharti about the soldiers searching the mountain.
