This passage was very long, and Su Zhana spoke so fast that Ji Xiaoou only understood the name of "Holden" from the beginning to the end.
Holden?
Of course Ji Xiaoou remembered who Holden was. At the beginning, Tao Tao broke into the water boat of the wolf tribe by mistake. In order to rescue Tao Tao, she had to negotiate with the wolf tribe orcs. As long as they helped them get through the reef area, they would let her and Tao Tao go.
And Holden is the leader of the pack of wolves.
Could it be that the opposite side is the territory of the wolf clan
Ji Xiaoou glanced back subconsciously, and saw the towering ancient trees behind him, covering the sky and the sun, giving off a gloomy feeling.
She was startled, and couldn't help but take a second look.
I didn't feel anything just now, but looking at it now, I always feel like I've seen this place before.
Seeing that Ji Xiaoou didn't speak, Su Zana thought she understood what she meant, so she breathed a sigh of relief and led her back to the Leopard tribe.
It wasn't until he returned to Ren's house that Ji Xiaoou remembered where the sense of familiarity came from.
Thick trees, thick leaves, and all kinds of strange-shaped plants... were exactly the same as the plants she saw when she first traveled to this continent.
She hurriedly took out her backpack from the space, rummaged to find her mobile phone, pressed the power button with her index finger, and turned it on.
Since coming here, Ji Xiaoou has been turning off his mobile phone in order to save electricity, so there is still electricity.
After a while of boot animation, she opened the photo album and called up a few photos.
This is a photo taken when she first came to this world. The four numbers "1002" are engraved on the thick trunk. She got lost in the forest at that time, so she specially took photos of every intersection to avoid taking the same road again.
Now, Ji Xiaoou stared at it carefully, and the trees in the photo were exactly the same as what he saw today.
how so…
Could it be that after going around for so long, she actually returned to the original place
Realizing this fact, Ji Xiaoou was speechless for a long time.
When the veterinarian Batan said that this place is far away from the east of Bornia, she had a bad premonition.
However, at that time, she only thought that the road would be a little longer, but she did not expect the fact to be more cruel than she imagined.
Ji Xiaoou's throat seemed to be blocked by something, sobbing uncomfortably.
—She is getting farther and farther away from her hometown.
She never thought that there is only a mountain between the leopard clan and the wolf clan.
Tao Taoming knew she wanted to go to the east, why did he bring her back to her own race
On the one hand, Ji Xiaoou blamed Ren a little bit, but on the other hand, it was understandable. If he hadn't rescued her, she would have died by now, buried on a certain mountain peak by the thick snow, and she didn't even know she was dead. Where.
…
However, although I can understand...
This fact is still too shocking...
Ji Xiaoou put the bamboo basket on the spot in frustration, completely lacking the excitement of discovering olives and other plants just now.
She held the phone in the other hand, pressed her thumb casually, and switched the page back to the main screen.
A yellowed photo suddenly appeared on the screen—
The photo was taken when Ji Xiaoou was five years old. At that time, the photo technology was not very good, and the picture resolution was not high.
Ji Xiaoou had just entered elementary school at that time, carrying a small schoolbag, wearing a pink floral skirt, standing at the school gate, with red eyes, stretched his short arms, and burrowed into his mother's arms aggrievedly.
With a slight smile on her face, Mother Ji lowered her head, gently wiped away the tears on her eyelashes with her fingers, and said something.
…
This scene happened to be photographed by Father Ji.
Ji's father told her that she refused to go to school at that time, saying that the boys in the back seat always bullied her. Ji's mother coaxed her for a long time before she walked into the school reluctantly.
Ji Xiaoou had long forgotten about this, and originally set this photo as the main screen just because he thought it was interesting, but now that he saw it casually, his nose became sore for no reason.
Ji Xiaoou looked at it for a long time, then reluctantly looked away, and raised his fingers to wipe away his tears.
After a long time, she suddenly remembered something, recalled the photos just now, pulled herself together, took out a pen and paper, and drew the roads in her memory one by one in front of the photos.
It's no big deal, Ji Xiaoou comforted himself, just walk it again, it's not a difficult road anyway.
As long as I can go back and see my parents, everything is worth it.
For the next two days, Ji Xiaoou was busy drawing the map, and at the same time went to the back mountain to explore the road and collect fruits by the way.
It will definitely take a long time to go from here to the east. I don’t know if there is enough food in her space, so it’s better to prepare more food.
In addition, Ji Xiaoou also made two quilts.
The quilt cover is laminated with two towels, which are evenly filled with cotton, and then twisted into threads with flexible bark. The only difficulty is that the needle is not easy to handle.
Fortunately, the orcs here also know how to sew animal skins. Su Zhana has ready-made bamboo needles at home, and Ji Xiaoou borrowed them from her. When he has nothing to do, he sits in the house and sews quilts.
Because he had never done this kind of thing before, Ji Xiaoou's movements were very unskilled, and the stitches were messed up. He took it apart several times. Although the final result was a bit unsatisfactory, it was barely usable, and it was much warmer than nothing.
After drying the quilt that day, Ji Xiaoou couldn't wait to cover his body at night.
Ji Xiaoou was very satisfied that he was not frozen at all during the night.
Early this morning, Ji Xiaoou packed everything into the space, took the map he drew, and walked out of the wooden house.
She plans to go outside to explore the way. If it goes well and successfully walks out of this valley, she probably won't come back.
Ji Xiaoou originally wanted to wait for Ren to come back and tell him before leaving.
But she didn't know when he would come back, and she always felt that Ren would not agree to let her go...
The last time she mentioned leaving to him, he didn't respond positively.
After thinking about it, Ren already knew that she was a human being, and she held so many secrets about him. If it was me, it would be impossible for him to let the other party leave easily.
…
Ji Xiaoou put on his backpack, left behind the leopard tribe, and walked into the forest where Su Zhana had brought her.
The snow on the mountain was still there, so Ji Xiaoou couldn't walk fast.
The girl's back is thin, and her red backpack is the only bright color in the long snowy scene, like a cinnabar on the eyebrows of a mountain peak, getting lighter and lighter.
until it disappears.
…
At the same time, Su Zhana was standing outside Rennes' courtyard, and happily patted the door, "Hey, herbivorous female, do you know, Rennes and the others are back today!"
After a while, there was no response from the courtyard.
Suchana pushed the door, which was locked from the outside, and the key was hung on the lock.
Su Zhana grabbed the key, "You didn't take the key when you went out, the head of the herbivore department is full of grass..."
Ji Xiaoou often went out these few days, and spent most of his time in the back mountain, so there was no one in the house, and Su Zhana didn't think it was strange.
Su Zhana hung the key on her body, and originally wanted to go to the back mountain to look for Ji Xiaoou, but when she thought that Ren was coming back, her eyes rolled, and she finally decided not to go, and stayed in the clan to wait for Ren to come back.
The sun is tilted and the light is fading.
A group of leopards moved swiftly through the forest, leaping, jumping, and sprinting, leaving light and shadow far behind.
The leopard in the middle moved quickly, vigorously and nimbly, and arrived at the gate of the leopard tribe in a short while.
Wren had taken human form, with a fresh scar under his eye, from the temple to the cheekbone, from the fight with the saber-toothed cats. He roughly stopped the bleeding and didn't take it seriously.
"Ren, you came back so early this time!" Suzana waited at the door with other tribesmen early on, and when she saw Ren coming back, her slender and spotted tail was swaying beautifully behind her, showing no hesitation praised.
Turning his gaze, he fixed on the wound on Ren's face, and said in a fuss, "Why is your face injured?"
Ren's blue eyes moved, he didn't see Ji Xiaoou's figure among the clansmen, he looked away, and cut straight to the point, "What about her?"
"Who?" Suchana pretended not to know.
As soon as he finished speaking, he met Ren's oppressive eyes, turned the corner of his mouth slightly, and said frankly: "Don't worry, she is very well, I just saw her yesterday afternoon..."
Ren looked slightly relieved.
When Su Zhana saw him so nervous, Ji Xiaoou couldn't help but feel a little sour. He asked about her whereabouts as soon as he came back, but the female didn't even mention his name these days.
Su Zhana remembered the locked door just now when she went to Ren's house, and was about to take out the key, "By the way..."
Before the words were finished, the Leopard clansmen behind arrived at the gate of the tribe one after another.
Behind the leopard tribe, there are more than a dozen female leopards.
These female leopards have different markings, including snow leopards, leopards, and black leopards. Most of them have injuries on their bodies. After landing, they all turned into human forms.
Suchana paused, staring at the strange females, "Who are they?"
Ren didn't answer, and went straight to the prey he caught this time.
The prey harvested this year was twice as much as in previous years. Ren set aside a part to give to the panda race of the neighbors, and let the tribe send the rest to the storage room.
Due to too many prey, it needs to be moved for a period of time, so Ren handed over the supervision to Dordo and prepared to leave.
"Boss, what should we do with those females?" Winter caught up and asked, pointing at the dozen or so leopard females.
The sabre-toothed tigers are ferocious and violent, and they completely treat them as tools to vent their desires. These females live in fear all year round, and even when they come to the territory of their own race, they are very timid and restless.
Ren looked back, "Find a few extra houses and let them live in them, and leave the rest to Sujila."
The population of the clan has always been managed by the elder Sujila.
Winter agreed immediately, and turned to look for Sujila.
After Ren explained everything, he walked into the tribe with his long legs.
Ren lived in the deepest part of the tribe. He walked along a longitudinal main road to the end, and two steps to the east was his house.
Ren stopped at the door of the house, staring at the lock that was locked from the outside, and suddenly frowned.
Before he left, he taught Ji Xiaoou how to lock the door from the inside.
Now, the door is locked from the outside.
He raised the animal paw and put it on the door lock, and with a little force, he pulled it down, and the door lock broke with a "click".
Ren stepped into the yard, and the yard was neat and clean, no different from when he left.
Even a little too quiet.
Ren pushed open the door of the room and looked inside.
The fire in the fireplace has long been extinguished, and the house is deserted, with everything neatly placed.
— Only the items belonging to Ji Xiaoou disappeared completely.
