"Bang Dang" The door was pushed open on both sides and hit the wall, making a loud noise.
…
There was no one inside the door, it was lonely and quiet.
Looking at the rooms across the street, the doors were closed, as if someone had come back.
Ren frowned slightly, and turned to look at Winter with cold eyes, "If you dare to say these words again, before Pat dies, your life will be lost."
Wen Te touched the top of his head, "Anyway, your female is at the back of the mountain at the moment, so she won't hear it..."
Ren looked at him, his dark blue pupils seemed to be surging with turbulent waves.
Winter stopped immediately, and said respectfully: "Yes, leader."
On this side, the back mountain is flat.
Ji Xiaoou was "thrown" out of the space, his knees were on the ground, his palms were pressed on the rough grass, his thoughts were disordered.
His mind was full of what Wen Te had just said.
Are they cheating on her
What do you mean, Pat isn't dead
Why did Ryan do this? Could it be that his promise to help him find Pat...was all a lie
Ji Xiaoou tightened his fingers, raised his eyes, and found that he had arrived at the back of the mountain.
The moment Renn pushed the door and entered, she reflexively hid in the space.
— Now, is she "teleported" by space again
Ji Xiaoou remembered that the last time she teleported in space was when she was almost killed by Raursis.
Why this time? Doesn't it mean that space will help her make a decision every time there is a huge fluctuation in her psychology and she wants to escape
Ji Xiaoou's heart was in a mess.
"Hey, why are you still here?" A voice above her head called to stop Ji Xiaoou, interrupting her thoughts abruptly.
Ji Xiaoou looked up, and saw Su Zhana standing in front of her with a bamboo basket on her back. Two gray hares were stuffed in the bamboo basket, and a few palm leaves were dragging with the other hand, as if rushing home.
Ji Xiaoou greeted her, hesitantly, "...what's the matter?"
Suchana pointed to the sky, and thick dark clouds hung over the valley, as if they might fall down at any time. "The rainy season is coming soon, and there will be heavy rain for several days in a row. The terrain here is low. If you don't go back quickly, the heavy rain will soon flood you."
Ji Xiaoou supported the tree trunk and stood up, thinking of the orcs who were still waiting for her, "But I haven't told Walker and them..."
"They've gone home a long time ago!" Suchana told the truth. As early as when the sky was getting dark, she saw Walker, Jolo and Selvin each leave. "Look, who else here is lying on the ground in a daze like you... By the way, why are you lying here?"
Ji Xiaoou was silent and didn't tell the truth, "I went home to get something and accidentally fell down."
The corners of Suzana's mouth twitched, showing undisguised disgust, "You're really useless, you can fall down when you walk." As she said, she reached out and pulled her up from the ground, "Before the rain comes down, hurry up Come back with me."
Ji Xiaoou paused slightly, going back meant facing Ren, but she was not ready to face Ren yet...
Ji Xiaoou looked up at the mountain peaks in the distance. The dark clouds were rolling in and the haze was indeed a sign of heavy rain.
Su Zhana urged beside, "Hey, can you go or not..."
Ji Xiaoou extended his hand to Su Zhana, nodded, "Yes."
On the way, Su Zhana walked very fast, Ji Xiaoou hurriedly followed behind her, and returned to her door after a while.
At this time, the raindrops had already fallen, hitting the ground one by one, like the ink splattered by a large pen in the sky, outlining a thick and colorful chapter.
Ren's house is at the end of the road, and after Su Zhana said goodbye to Ji Xiaoou, she was ready to go home.
"Wait a minute, Su Zhana." Ji Xiaoou suddenly stopped her, Wu Run's eyes were full of sincerity, "I have a question to ask you."
Suchana raised the palm leaves to cover her head. The roof of her kitchen was leaking and she was going to use it to fix it. Although he was unhappy on the surface, he stopped in his tracks, "What's the problem?"
Ji Xiaoou pondered: "If... I mean, if Wen Te lied to you about one thing, would you be angry with him?"
Su Zhana was startled, and then annoyed, "What? What did he lie to me about?"
"No, no, I mean what if." Ji Xiaoou quickly waved his hands, for fear that Su Zhana would misunderstand, "He didn't lie to you, I just used an analogy."
Only then did Suzana calm down, and the raindrops hit the palm leaves above her head, making a crisp sound.
"It depends on what his purpose is. If it's for my sake, I won't bother with him. If he is guilty and wants to hide something, I will definitely be angry." Su Zhana thought for a while and said.
"What if he deliberately concealed information about your family? Like Sujira was seriously injured..."
"If he dares to do this, I will never spare him!"
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
…
Saying goodbye to Su Zhana, standing in front of Ren's house, the raindrops are getting heavier.
Ji Xiaoou raised his hand to knock on the door, and the door was opened from the inside after a while.
Ren stood at the door, the edges of his heavy boots were stained with mud, as if he had gone out to find her.
Ji Xiaoou raised his face, and before he could speak, he shivered violently, and then sneezed.
"Where did you go?" Ren immediately hugged her into his arms, covered the top of her head with his palms, and strode into the house.
Ji Xiaoou rubbed his nose and lowered his eyelashes, "I went to the back mountain to teach Walker and them how to study gunpowder..."
Ren said: "I went to the back mountain to look for it, and Walker said that you came back to pick up things."
When he said this, Ren stared at Ji Xiaoou, as if he wanted to see all her expressions clearly.
Ji Xiaoou restrained his emotions, and put his finger on Ren's shoulder, "I met Su Zhana on the road. Su Zhana said that the rainy season was coming soon, so I didn't come back to pick up things. I walked with her on the other road." Road. The roof of her house is leaking, and she needs to pick some palm leaves to fix the roof.”
All these were guessed by Ji Xiaoou when he saw the palm leaves in Su Zhana's hand, Su Zhana didn't tell her in such detail.
Ren's face softened slightly, he walked into the room, took out Ji Xiaoou's blanket from the side cabinet, and wrapped it around her body, "Suchana is right, it will rain in the next few days, you There is no need to teach them how to make gunpowder for the time being, it is best to stay at home."
Ji Xiaoou looked at him, "What about you?"
Ren: "I will lead the tribe to hunt tomorrow."
Ji Xiaoou's hands under the blanket were cold to the bone, and he had nothing to say, "Aren't you afraid of the rain?"
"The rainy season has little effect on the leopard population."
Ji Xiaoou nodded and stopped talking.
Ren stretched out his palm to rub the raindrops on her eyelashes, and found her face was cold, so he went to relight the fireplace, hugged her in his arms, sat in front of the fire, and wrapped her little hands, "Cold? "Her body was trembling slightly.
Ji Xiaoou buried his head, subconsciously moved his body closer to his embrace, and gave a soft "hmm" in a nasal voice.
When Ren heard this, he simply changed into the form of an animal, wrapping Ji Xiaoou around him with his limbs.
Leopard's body temperature is on the high side, it can even reach over 40 degrees when running, and Ji Xiaoou is not a problem with Wu Nuan.
After a while, Ji Xiaoou poked his head out from under it, "Enough, Ren... well, I'm so hot."
Ren touched her hands, and it was really not so cold, so he let her go.
Turning back into human form, Ren asked her, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Ji Xiaoou sat up and thought about it seriously, "Braised eel in soy sauce."
Ren frowned, "How?"
Ji Xiaoou used to watch his mother cook, and he had some impressions in his mind, so he told Ren the recipe, and at the end, he asked expectantly, "Can you do it?"
Ren took back the "no" on his lips and changed it to: "I will try." Then he said: "There is no eel, but catfish is okay?"
Eels live only in the seas east of Bornia, thousands of miles away.
Ji Xiaoou paused, and said regretfully, "Okay."
Ren turned and walked out the door.
Ji Xiaoou sat cross-legged next to the fireplace, and not long after, he heard the sound of lighting a fire and cooking from the kitchen.
Ren has no research on human food at all and is very unskilled. The only dish he can cook is the stewed catfish soup that Ji Xiaoou wanted to drink when he was injured.
…
Sure enough, thick smoke was soon seen billowing from the kitchen chimney.
Ji Xiaoou didn't go to help, but went to the cabinet next to the bed, and took out the stone that Wen Te gave her from the third floor.
The stone was still engraved with lines that Ji Xiaoou couldn't understand. At the beginning, Ji Xiaoou pondered for a long time what it meant, but now that he thought about it, it might not have any "meaning" at all.
— This was just a cover they used to lie to her.
Ren came out of the kitchen and walked into the bedroom, and saw the little guy standing motionless in front of the cabinet.
When Ren saw what she was holding, his face changed slightly, and he lowered his voice, "What are you looking at?"
Ji Xiaoou turned his head, pursed his lips, and shook his head, "It's nothing, just looking around."
Seeing that there was nothing unusual in her expression, Ryan felt depressed, and put the ceramic bowl in his hand on the table. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ji Xiaoou speak softly behind him, without warning, "Ren, my Did you throw away the map?"
Ren suddenly paused.
Ji Xiaoou looked at him, clearly, and asked in detail: "When my compass broke, was it you?"
When the compass was broken, Ji Xiaoou felt strange, why can't the good one be used
The map I drew later was put in the backpack. No one had touched it, but I couldn't find it anyway.
She wasn't dull, she just didn't want to guess in this regard.
She had always believed in Ryan, even when Winter told her that Pat was dead, she never doubted him.
But today, she heard him tell Winter that Pat was dead and they were lying to her.
Ji Xiaoou couldn't get a response from Ren, so he asked again stubbornly, "Really?"
After a long time, Ren's voice was slow, "That's right."
Ji Xiaoou swayed, raised his face, his throat was choked, "Pat is not dead, is he?"
Ren said: "Yes."
"Then why are you lying to me?"
Ren bent down, slowly met her eyes, and put his nose against the tip of her nose, "I hope you will stay by my side and be my spouse forever."
Ji Xiaoou shook his head, feeling a little out of control, "I can stay by your side...but not in this way, you can't lie to me. Pat is obviously not dead, why would you lie to me that he is already dead..."
When she learned that Pat was dead, she still remembered the feeling of hesitation and despair.
What Ji Xiaoou couldn't accept was that Lei En clearly knew what she cared about most, but he still cruelly deceived her.
If he just wanted her to stay, how could he be so selfish
Ren clasped her shoulders, staring at her with blue eyes, "If you didn't say that, would you be willing to stay?"
Ji Xiaoou was silent, but it was better than countless answers.
Ren raised one corner of his mouth and said coldly and cruelly: "This is my answer too."
Maybe this sentence stimulated her, maybe it was because Ren's attitude was too tough, Ji Xiaoou suddenly broke away from Ren and ran outside.
There was a torrential rain outside the house, and Ji Xiaoou was drenched in just a short distance from the bedroom to the courtyard door.
Ji Xiaoou put his hand on the door, and before he could pull it away, Renn, who caught up behind him in an instant, grabbed his shoulders and walked into the house.
"Let me go, you let me go." Ji Xiaoou struggled desperately, his voice was crying, "Ren, I hate you!"
Ren stopped and asked, "Is this why you don't want to mate with me?"
Ji Xiaoou said without hesitation, "That's right, I don't want to mate with a leopard!"
Ren stopped suddenly, his face was obscured by the heavy rain.
…
That night, Ji Xiaoou made a fuss for a long time, but Ren had no choice but to slash her with a knife on the back of her neck, and she passed out.
When Ji Xiaoou woke up the next day, Ren was no longer at home.
The torrential rain was still falling outside, even stronger than last night, and hula la fell from the sky, pouring like a pillar.
Ji Xiaoou got dressed and wanted to go outside to have a look.
However, he put his hand on the door panel and gently pulled it—
The wooden door remained motionless.
Ji Xiaoou tried a few more times, but it still didn't open.
She soon realized that the door had been locked from the outside.
Ryan locked her in the house
Ji Xiaoou was shocked and frustrated. After thinking about it all night, she had calmed down a lot, but now she looked at the closed wooden door with a sense of panic for no reason.
Why did he lock the door? Is it because she is afraid that she will run away
She had already thought about it last night, it was the rainy season recently, even if she escaped, it was impossible for her to go far.
If possible, they should have a good communication. No matter what his purpose is, he lied to her, it's just wrong.
But now...
Ji Xiaoou staggered on the chair and accidentally knocked off the backpack next to him, spilling the contents of the backpack all over the floor.
Flashlights, selfie sticks, stun prods, mobile phones...
The phone hit the floor just in time to hit the power button, and the screen lit up.
Ji Xiaoou picked up the things one by one and put them back into the backpack, planning to have a good communication with Ren when he came back.
However, Ji Xiaoou waited from six in the morning to five in the afternoon, and Ren didn't come back either.
Ji Xiaoou watched the minute hand on his wrist move little by little, and his mood sank little by little.
Did he not come back on purpose, or was something delayed
Until 5:59, the second hand completed the last frame, and the sky outside the window quickly darkened and turned into night.
Ji Xiaoou stood up, walked to the window, and was about to close the window.
Suddenly, a series of familiar voices seemed to be heard.
Ji Xiaoou froze and waited for a while, but the voice continued.
The telephone ringtone of "Dinglingling" is the most common melody.
— from her backpack.
Ji Xiaoou turned around, left the window quickly, and took out the phone from his backpack. Before he could even look at the "Caller ID" on it, he pressed the answer button and put it to his ear, for fear that the phone would stop ringing suddenly.
The person on the other side of the phone didn't seem to expect to be connected, he was taken aback for a moment, and asked excitedly in a soft voice: "Niuu, is it Nani?"
Ji Xiaoou held the phone tightly with trembling hands, and asked very slowly, incredulously: "Mom, mother?"
