The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 89 Misunderstanding
But Yu Qing was too happy too soon. Just as he poked his head out of the reeds, a winged man flying over the river saw him.

Their eyes met, and they could no longer hide their feelings.

However, judging from the winged man's surprised gaze, it was clear that he and the winged man had only met by chance, and the winged man had not come to track or ambush him on purpose.

The winged man shouted into the reeds, "Come here, everyone! We've made a mistake! It's a guest, not a heron!"

Yu Qing was a little annoyed. It turned out they were just hunting here and thought he was a big bird, but they scared him half to death.

He thought to himself, "You winged creatures shouldn't be hunting winged animals at all." Of course, he didn't say it aloud.

As Yu Qing ran to the river to wash off the mud, he said to the winged man, "It seems this was a huge misunderstanding!"

At this moment, the five winged people came out. They were also surprised to see Yu Qing, not understanding what he was doing in this reed marsh. This place was their hunting playground since childhood, and they had never had such a misunderstanding before.

Suddenly, one of the winged people circled around him, asking in confusion, "Something's not right. How... how come you have one of our children's cloaks?"

Yu Qing thought to himself that he couldn't tell the truth, so he made up a story, saying that he had made a bet with a winged person that if he wore this child's cloak and practiced for a few days, he would be able to fly freely like a winged person...

The winged man interrupted him, saying, "That's impossible! We would never give our children's things to others! And we would never make bets with anyone!"

At this moment, another winged person exclaimed, "He actually tied his cloak to his body with a blue rope! Where did he get the blue rope?"

Seeing that not telling the truth might lead to a bigger misunderstanding, Yu Qing had no choice but to say, "This green rope was a gift from the girl...we made a bet...no...it was an agreement."

The winged man shook his head and said, "Girl? All girls here are called 'girl.' Which girl are you talking about? Besides, the Green Rope isn't given away casually; it's only given to one's lover. You wouldn't...steal..."

Yu Qing hurriedly said, "It wasn't stolen, absolutely not stolen, it was really a gift from the girl."

The winged man shook his head and said, "Guest, I'm really sorry, but you don't even know that girl's name. How can we trust you? Please come with us to the municipal office to confirm."

Yu Qing was getting anxious; he didn't even know Mi Fei's name in the Winged Clan! A thought struck him, and he said, "It's not that I don't know her name, it's that I promised not to tell anyone else about our affair, and especially not to reveal her name..."

"That explanation makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. It's a happy and glorious thing for us Winged Tribe girls to have a lover, and everyone will go to celebrate. Why would we hide it?"

"Because... she wanted me to learn how to fly before telling everyone about it."

"Then we'll believe you for now. But you still have to tell me the girl's name; we need to confirm with her whether what you're saying is true."

Yu Qing said, "It's true...this...but I swear I won't tell...Let me give you a hint: when the girl and the old man came back from Panshan yesterday, they used this green rope to pull my car to Jinchengzi..."

After hearing his account, the four winged people said in unison, "So it was her! That old hag already let the whole winged tribe know. Didn't everyone go to your place to celebrate? What's there to hide?"

Yu Qing said, "Then I can't break my promise. Let me clarify now, I didn't tell you her name directly; you guessed it yourselves."

At this moment, Yu Qing noticed that a winged man was acting strangely, suddenly looking at him with extremely unfriendly eyes. He wondered, could he be a suitor of Mi Fei? He couldn't let him cause trouble. So he pretended to be mysterious and whispered:

"She told me that the reason she didn't want me to tell was because she was afraid that a good boy would be hurt if he found out."

The winged man with the unusual expression shouted, "Let's all go!"

A winged person asked, "Aren't you taking Yunmei's lover out with you?"

"Didn't Yunmei want him to learn to fly? Let him learn on his own before he flies out." Yu Qing couldn't be happier, and quickly said, "Yes, I'll fly out by myself, you don't need to worry about me."

At this moment, Yao Dan was getting closer and closer to him. Not long after the winged man flew away, he soon reunited with Yao Dan.

They ran wildly along the road Yaodan had come from, and finally arrived at their car.

As soon as he got on the bus, he told everyone to set off immediately.

"Go back to the city? Or..."

"Walk."

He recounted the route that Mi Fei had told him to Yao Dan.

After the car had been driving for a few minutes, Yu Qing suddenly burst into tears. Everyone was bewildered and looked at each other in confusion.

After a while, Yao Dan saw that he was still crying, so she mustered up her courage and touched him a few times, teasingly saying:

"You have all your body parts, so why are you sad?"

Yu Qing sighed, "You have no heart, how would you know what it means to be heartbroken?"

When Yao Dan and the others heard him say that, they probably guessed that he had encountered an emotional setback.

So no one dared to say anything more, and the atmosphere remained gloomy the whole way. Daji simply pretended to be asleep, closing her eyes and remaining silent.

After driving for about two hours, they left the area of ​​Jinchengzi. Just as the car was about to switch to flight mode, Yu Qing suddenly stopped the car. He got out and stood for a long time before getting back in.

After the car took off, Yu Qing said, "The next city is called Wuding. Fly directly there without stopping."

Yao Dan said, "No, my husband. We were just in a rush to pick you up after receiving your message, and we weren't prepared at all."

"What else do you need? What are you all doing? I won't do anything unless I tell you what to do."

"We don't have enough food and water, and the electricity supply is only half complete..."

"Didn't you guys remember to replenish your supplies all night last night?"

Yao Dan pouted and said, "We've been following your instructions and walking around the city in circles..."

Yu Qing realized he had misunderstood them, but he still stubbornly scolded them, "You still had time to go down and prepare some things! You just didn't pay attention."

Yao Dan retorted, "You said we have no heart. You went on a date with a pretty girl and then blamed us. We're lucky we didn't lose our minds."

Yu Qing couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't even have a heart, so how can you have a lost soul or a broken spirit? It's you, my husband, who's lost your soul and broken spirit now."

Seeing that he was in better spirits and had become bolder again, Yao Dan nudged him and asked, "You looked so disheveled just now, were you kicked out, or...?"

Yu Qing said in a serious tone, "Her lover came to catch me cheating and beat me up..."
