Ren's voice was accompanied by cold wind, which poured in from the door, making Ji Xiaoou tremble involuntarily.
The whole person is awake.
"I, I'm fine..." Ji Xiaoou wrapped his slender arms around his chest, his pink face flushed red, wishing he could curl up into a ball.
She never thought that Ren would break in suddenly. When she turned around to pick up the clothes just now, she accidentally kicked down the wooden stool, subconsciously exclaimed, and before the sound landed, he would have broken into the door the next moment.
Ji Xiaoou didn't have time to react at all, the figure at the door was tall and majestic, his deep facial features were separated from the night, his pupils were dark, and his eyes were burning.
——The strong sense of oppression made Ji Xiaoou momentarily forget that he was facing a leopard orc.
"I, I just accidentally kicked the stool down..."
The wooden houses here generally do not have locks, and there is no way to lock the doors.
After getting along with her for the past few days, she had a sense of trust in Ren, and her body was so dirty that she couldn't bear it, so she didn't worry too much, and just put a wooden stool behind the door.
Right now, the wooden stool was sprawled out, as if mocking her stupidity. When she met Ren's gaze, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear it.
Such a naked meeting is really not good for her, her knitted coat is placed on the table in front of her, Ji Xiaoou covered her chest with one hand, stretched forward with the other hand, quickly grabbed the coat and put it on her body...
However, the floor was wet and slippery, she was too flustered, one of her feet slipped, and she leaned back straight.
Ji Xiaoou closed his eyes, subconsciously clutched his stomach tightly, and waited for the moment when he landed—
But without warning, it fell into a spacious and hot chest.
Ren didn't know when he moved from the door to the house, holding Ji Xiaoou's shoulder with one hand and her waist with the other, and took her whole body into his arms.
He was wearing a beast leather jacket, revealing most of his chest, his body temperature was higher than that of a human, and it was against Ji Xiaoou's smooth back. One cool and one hot, forming a stark contrast.
As soon as Ji Xiaoou opened his eyes, he met Ren's dignified gaze, and when he realized something, he jumped up, his whole brain was on fire from his cheeks to the back of his ears.
She, she was dressed on top, but she didn't wear anything on the bottom... His leg was right next to her thigh...
"Let, let me go! Get out quickly..."
Ji Xiaoou's face turned red, and she struggled desperately in Ren's arms, but Ren's arms were like iron clamps, the harder she struggled, the tighter he held her.
As if he was afraid that she would hurt him, he finally picked up her body in the air and walked towards the bed board.
Ji Xiaoou was about to cry, but he tightly grabbed the hem of the sweater to cover his lower body, and when Renn put her on the bed, he tried to shrink into the corner.
Before he succeeded, Ren held his shoulders and nailed him in place.
"Don't move." She struggled hard just now and almost fell down again. Ren glanced around her belly to make sure that the wound was not open before he relaxed.
Looking up, he touched the girl's snow-white body, and was slightly stunned.
The girl was only wearing a thin long knit sweater, which was too late to button up, and barely covered her chest on both sides, revealing a large area of white skin on her upper body.
It is white greasy, soft, fine skin and tender meat, which is completely different from the leopard female.
She grabbed the lower end of her clothes with one hand, and he pressed the other hand on the bed at some point. She looked at him with dark eyes, with a little mist in her eyes, and her lips were pursed, feeling wronged and pitiful.
With this dazed effort, the girl underneath quickly broke free from him, rolled to the inside of the bed board, wrapped herself in the blanket, only her small head was exposed. Wet hair against the cheek, like a lap dog in the water.
Ren moved his eyeballs and lowered his eyes.
The girl herself was wrapped up tightly... only, she forgot a pair of delicate and small feet.
The feet are exposed to the air, the bones are even, and the insteps are white and tender.
The ten fingernails are pink and moist, like clusters of bamboo shoots emerging in spring, just looking at them makes the index finger move.
Although she is not as bumpy as the females of the leopard tribe, there are a lot of places on her body, and every part is delicate. That delicate and pitiful feeling is never possessed by leopard females.
Ji Xiaoou obviously also noticed his gaze, and with a twitch of his feet, he retracted into the blanket with a "whoosh".
Ren looked at her cautious appearance, lowered his eyes, and had an imperceptible smile on his lips. He stretched out his long legs and placed them between Ji Xiaoou and the edge of the bed, blocking her only way to get out of bed.
Then, in his slow, low, electromagnetic voice, he said, "Are all people of your race like you?"
Ji Xiaoou blinked and blinked, not understanding.
Then, Ren's next sentence made Ji Xiaoou froze—
"Human beings are all like you, loach-like?"
…
Ji Xiaoou suddenly opened his eyes wide, and opened his mouth in surprise, "You, what did you say?"
Not to mention that he said she was like a loach, he just said... "You humans"
How did he know she was human? !
Ji Xiaoou quickly went through in his mind, when did she mention that she was a human being in front of him, but no, she had no memory at all.
The girl's pupils flickered, her body was stiff, and her eyes were full of fear and uneasiness when she looked at Ren.
It's no wonder Ji Xiaoou's reaction was so big, Eric said that the human race at this time has long been extinct. And the orcs have been evolving in the way of humans. If they knew that she was a human, would they treat her as a monster and arrest her for research
"I'm not human, I'm..." Ji Xiaoou categorically denied it, trying to defend himself, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of an appropriate excuse. In the end, he raised the blanket to cover his head, and simply gave up on himself and said, "I am the loach race."
"Pornia's loaches don't have the ability to transform into humans." Ren reminded kindly.
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Ji Xiaoou's guess was right, as early as when Ren was still a little leopard, he had already guessed her identity.
Primates, no animal shape, ape-like habits, good use of high-tech, all these are the characteristics of human beings.
It's just that due to physical limitations at the time, it was inconvenient for him to say too much.
Now, seeing the panicked appearance of the girl, Ren's throat moved slightly, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
He wanted to ask her many things, where did she come from, why did she come, what was that strange "space"
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back calmly. Ren put away his long legs and stood up from the bed, as if nothing had happened, "Don't worry, no one else will know your identity except me."
Ji Xiaoou's eyelashes trembled, but he didn't say a word.
It wasn't until he heard the sound of Ren leaving that he slowly lifted the blanket and looked at the door, wondering what he was thinking.
Maybe it was because he went to bed without drying his hair last night, but when he woke up the next day, Ji Xiaoou had a splitting headache and was in unspeakable pain.
She sat up and took two cold medicines. Memories of last night flooded into his mind bit by bit. Ji Xiaoou thought of Ren's calm expression when he said she was human. He must have known it a long time ago. As for why he said it now... I don't know.
In short, Ji Xiaoou's determination to leave after he recovered from his injury was further strengthened.
There was no one in the room, and there was a clay pot of fish soup on the table, which should have been reserved for her.
Ji Xiaoou picked it up and tasted it, the fish soup was very fresh, without ginger and garlic cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, the taste was a little hard to swallow.
Ji Xiaoou barely drank a few sips, but couldn't finish it, so he quietly took out a carton of milk from the space and tied it open.
At this moment, I don't care if I will be discovered. Anyway, Ren already knows that she is human... What she has to do now is to supplement protein as soon as possible to heal herself.
After drinking the milk, she was still alone in the room.
There were some noises outside the house, she hesitated, opened the door and walked out. I saw a lot of firewood outside, and Ren was sitting on the pile of firewood, ordering the other two leopard orcs to work.
When the two leopard orcs heard the voice, their blue-green pupils all looked at her.
Ji Xiaoou flinched, subconsciously walked to Ren's side, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ren put down the carved bamboo key in his hand, looked at her and said, "Expand the courtyard."
Ji Xiaoou showed doubts, why did he suddenly expand the courtyard
Ren said: "Tomorrow I will leave Kamuda and lead the tribe to go hunting. During the few days I am away, you can move around in the courtyard." Otherwise, with her timidity, she only dared to walk around the house.
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoou was slightly taken aback.
Ren handed the carved bamboo key to her, "Can it be unlocked?"
Ji Xiaoou caught the key subconsciously, and nodded indiscriminately.
"Don't open the door to anyone from the clan." Ren propped his chin, looked sideways at the girl's black hair hanging behind him, and added after a while, "Except for me."
After Ji Xiaoou took a shower, she let her hair down. Her hair was black and thick, like silk with ink splashed on it.
Ren's fingertips moved, and suddenly he had the idea of holding it in his palm.
Ji Xiaoou's mind was not here, hesitantly asked: "How many days are you going to go?"
"Maybe, maybe three or four days, maybe seven or eight days."
Ji Xiaoou bit his lower lip. She still remembered his reaction when she mentioned leaving to Ren last time, and subconsciously thought that if she mentioned it again, he would still disagree.
Instead of waiting for his consent... Could she take this opportunity to leave
Her Tao Tao has returned to her hometown, but she still has a long way to go.
The girl has a pure heart, and everything in her heart is written on her face.
Ren's deep pupils stared at her vacillating eyes, which gradually sank.
"Boss, what should we do with the stake here?" asked the leopard orc in the suede fur coat over there.
Ren put away his thoughts and walked over there. "What stake?"
The orc said: "The position of this stake has shifted. It shouldn't be here. It's all because that guy Went didn't concentrate on his work..."
The leopard orc known as "Winter" immediately retorted: "Don't shirk responsibility, didn't you just find out?"
Ren was silent for a moment, closed his eyes, thoughtfully, "Let it stay here." After a pause, "Make up for this mistake in other ways."
The efficiency of the orc was very fast, and the courtyard was expanded in just one day.
The walls of the yard are rammed with wood one by one, surrounded by tough rattan, and then built with mud. The appearance looks no different from that of a small farmyard.
Although the appearance is simple, it finally adds a sense of security.
The next day was the day when Ren and the Leopards went hunting. Ji Xiaoou woke up early in the morning and found that he was gone.
Ji Xiaoou thought he had already left and there was no kitchen in the yard, so she took out milk and biscuits from the space for breakfast. After eating, Ji Xiaoou remembered the broken compass last time, so he took it out from his backpack and looked at it, the pointer was still shaking left and right, it was still broken.
"What's going on?" Ji Xiaoou was extremely disappointed. If she didn't have a compass, how would she find her way out of the Leopard tribe
Ji Xiaoou sat on the edge of the bed and tried to fix it for a while, but to no avail.
She was discouraged and was about to go for a walk in the courtyard when she suddenly heard a conversation coming from outside.
After a while, Ren bent over and walked in from the outside, followed by a tall leopard female.
Ji Xiaoou was stunned, he didn't expect that Ren would come back, he was a little at a loss for a while, "Uh... I thought you had already left."
Ren turned his eyes and landed on the backpack and compass that Ji Xiaoou had placed on the bed, and said in a deep voice, "You want to leave?"
Ji Xiaoou waved his hands guiltily, "It's not... I, I just organize things."
Ren looked at her without saying anything, and introduced the female behind her, "Suchana, the daughter of the elder Sujira. She will come to accompany you these days when I am away. If you have any needs, you can always ask She offered."
From the moment she entered the door, Su Zhana's curious eyes kept falling on Ji Xiaoou.
It's not to blame Su Zhana for being rude, it's because Ryan hid her too tightly before.
Now that I finally see it, don't take a closer look.
It turns out that the female that Ren likes looks like this... Her eyes are black and bright, her facial features are small, her skin is pink and tender, and her whole body exudes a kind of endearing delicacy.
Su Zhana was about to say hello to Ji Xiaoou, when Ren suddenly looked sideways, and in a low voice, said to Su Zhana in the leopard language: "Before I come back, she must be intact and stay here."
