The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

"Hello, I want to ask, do you know how to get out of this forest?" Xu Yingying asked loudly.

However, the man did not respond to her question and did not even turn his head.

Xu Yingying felt somewhat confused and helpless, but she continued to observe the situation around her. She noticed that the scene before her was exactly the same as when she first arrived here: the man was staring intently at the crows in the sky, while those crows were circling in the air, seemingly not intending to fly far away.

This situation continued for a while, and Xu Yingying began to think about whether to ask the man again for a way to leave. At this moment, something unexpected happened - the crow seemed to drop something.

Xu Yingying looked closely and saw the man catch the object. After careful observation, she found that it was actually the man's clothes! It turned out that these crows had been taking away the man's clothes.

After the man retrieved his clothes, he turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Curious, Xu Yingying decided to follow this mysterious man to see where he was going. She followed carefully, trying not to make any noise.

After walking for a while, Xu Yingying couldn't help but ask, "Hello, can you hear what I say?"

The man seemed not to hear her and continued walking on his own.

Xu Yingying was a little anxious and raised her voice again, "Hello, I want to ask, do you know how to get out of this forest?"

This time the man finally reacted. He stopped and looked back at Xu Yingying, but only said one word: "Yeah!"

Xu Yingying was speechless by the man's response, and muttered to herself: "This guy is really frugal with words!" But since he could hear it, she might as well take the initiative to continue asking!

"Excuse me, do you know how to get out of this forest?" Xu Yingying asked unwillingly.

The man continued walking forward, saying, "As long as we cut down the tree, we can leave here."

After hearing what the man said, Xu Yingying's heart sank. What kind of a fool's errand was this? Wasn't this asking her to help cut wood here? She frowned, wondering if this man was deliberately making things difficult for her. But watching the man's back gradually recede, she gritted her teeth and chased after him. After all, there was no better way now, so she just followed him first!

Lost in thought, Xu Yingying didn't notice what was happening ahead, and just mechanically followed the man's footsteps. Suddenly, Xu Yingying felt her head slam into a hard object, and a sharp pain hit her, almost making her curse out loud. Xu Yingying rubbed her aching forehead, wondering if this man's body was made of iron? How could it be so hard?

Just as Xu Yingying was about to look up and ask the man what was going on, she was surprised to find a laurel tree before her. This laurel tree stood out in stark contrast to its surroundings, making it particularly striking. Its dense crown, lush green leaves, and delicate fragrance exuded a faint, refreshing fragrance. Even more strangely, despite the numerous trees surrounding it, this one seemed to be the only laurel tree, and other species of trees were only seen at a distance. This unique arrangement evoked the image of a moon surrounded by stars, as if this laurel tree was the focal point and centerpiece of the entire forest. Deep in thought, Xu Yingying continued to follow the man's steps.

At this moment, the man picked up the axe under the tree and chopped at the laurel tree without hesitation.

Xu Yingying had been watching quietly from the side. This was the first time Xu Yingying had seen someone chopping down a tree! The man's movements were very skillful and neat. He raised the axe and swung it hard. In less than a second, a deep gash appeared on the laurel tree.

The man swung the axe again and chopped down the laurel tree. Xu Yingying secretly thought to herself, "At this rate, how long will it take to chop down this tree?"

As Xu Yingying used her eyes as a ruler to gauge the size of the cut, she suddenly felt as if she was seeing things a little differently. Why did the cut in the tree seem to have gotten smaller? At this moment, the man's axe struck the same spot again.

The cut grew a little bigger. Xu Yingying rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. She thought to herself, "Could it be that I'm so nervous that I'm hallucinating?" So, Xu Yingying decided to take another closer look.

Perhaps because she had noticed something strange, Xu Yingying stared at the hole with wide eyes. However, something unexpected happened - under Xu Yingying's close attention, the hole actually shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How is this possible! This is totally against common sense!" Xu Yingying couldn't help but shout loudly.

The man beside her ignored Xu Yingying's surprise and confusion. He continued to chop at the same spot, each blow with determination and resolve, as if he wanted to chop the laurel tree to the ground.

Xu Yingying stared with wide eyes, watching the man swing the axe at the laurel tree again and again. Although she knew that the laurel tree had a magical self-healing ability, as time went by, she gradually saw that the laurel tree began to tilt to one side.

Xu Yingying couldn't help but be moved, and a wave of admiration surged in her heart. She also quietly cheered for the man: "Come on!"

Every time the man swung the axe, Xu Yingying would whisper, "Come on!" Her eyes were fixed on the man's movements, hoping that he would successfully chop down the laurel tree.

As the man continued to swing the axe, Xu Yingying's voice grew louder and more determined. She shouted, "Just a little bit more! Come on!" She didn't know if her encouragement gave the man strength, but his movements became faster and faster, and the axe drew arcs in the air.

As she was almost halfway through the cut in the laurel tree, Xu Yingying suddenly heard the crows' cries. The crows' calls grew louder and louder, approaching from afar. Xu Yingying's attention was drawn to the crows' cries. She looked up and saw a flock of crows circling in mid-air, seemingly searching for something.

The crows formed a black whirlwind in the sky, their wings flapping and making cawing sounds. Xu Yingying felt uneasy. She didn't know why these crows appeared here, nor did she know whether they would pose a threat to the man.
