After being severely rejected by Ji Ting several times, Shen Tuchuan finally realized that the animal form was hopeless, and after a few days of disappointment, he devoted himself to the work of researching new technologies. Ji Ting was very troubled by him being too keen on this kind of thing, but seeing that he didn't let himself suffer any more, he let him go.
The sun and the moon alternate, and time flies. When he woke up one morning and saw the whiteness outside, Ji Ting finally decided that winter is coming.
"It's snowing, do you want to go out with me?" Shen Tuchuan looked at her expectantly with his ears shaking.
Ji Ting, who usually followed him, immediately refused: "I won't go."
"Why?" Shen Tuchuan was a little disappointed.
Ji Ting was silent for a moment, and held his face affectionately: "If you have the memory of the previous life, you will know why I didn't go." After several years of heavy snow in the last world, she really feels scalp when she sees the whiteness. Numb, always feel that a zombie will pop out from some corner.
Shen Tuchuan couldn't understand her words, looked at her suspiciously and went out by himself, Ji Ting continued to nest on the hot kang, enjoying the rare time alone.
Although the winter weather this year is extremely cold for the beastman world, Ji Ting doesn't feel much, because firstly, she has a thick tiger skin, and secondly, the kang in their house has been burning, and even the house is hot of. He didn't sleep all day in the house that was built specially for Shen Tuchuan, and later it was simply used as a storage room, which was full of firewood, enough for them to last a whole winter.
Ji Ting was lying down, and started to feel sleepy again, so she lazily closed her eyes, listening to the rustling snow outside, and continued to sleep in her cage.
Not long after sleeping, she felt a gust of cool wind blowing in. She frowned, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Tuchuan coming in, with hands as red as radishes.
She was speechless for a moment, and when he came to her side, she covered his hands on the kang.
"I just made two snowmen, do you want to go out and have a look?" Shen Tuchuan's eyes were full of excitement.
Ji Ting sighed, but in the end he was not willing to hit him a second time: "Okay."
Shen Tuchuan's ears trembled quickly when he heard the words, and he immediately covered Ji Ting with thick fur, then took her out, pulled her to the snowman, and said like offering a treasure: "Does it look good?"
Ji Ting looked at the two ugly snowmen, and it took him a long time to figure out that the one with a stick on his ass as a tail represented him, and the one with withered grass on his head was her, although this kind of intention is very impressive. Touched, but the snowman's appearance is really... She can't boast against her conscience.
"Not good-looking?" Shen Tuchuan stopped sweeping his tail, his ears didn't move, and disappointment was written on the corners of his eyes and brows.
For a moment, Ji Ting lost all conscience, and praised very seriously: "It's very beautiful."
Only then was Shen Tuchuan satisfied, but not long after that, there was a laughing sound from the corner: "It's ugly, it's ugly, it's not good-looking at all!"
Ji Ting and he looked over at the same time, only to find a few wolf cubs hiding in the snow. Shen Tuchuan was displeased: "What do you know, all snowmen look like this, they are not ugly at all." After speaking, he looked at Ji Ting, like a child looking for proof from his parents.
"...That's right, my family's Xiao Chuan Dui is not ugly." Ji Ting immediately cooperated.
Shen Tuchuan raised the corners of his lips and looked at those wolf cubs proudly. The wolf cubs were in a hurry: "What he did was not good-looking! It's so ugly!"
"If you have the ability, you can pile up one." Shen Tuchuan was anxious.
The wolf cubs looked at each other and ran over in a daze, stretching out their paws to make a snowman, the result can be imagined. Finally, looking at the messy pile of snow he had piled up, he had to admit that Shen Tuchuan's two were particularly good.
Shen Tuchuan won a big victory, although his face was indifferent, his tail was wagging happily, Ji Ting looked at him dumbfounded, and finally invited a few wolf cubs to drink hot water in the house.
From this day on, the little wolf cubs often came to play. Although Shen Tuchuan always had a stinky face, it didn't affect their playfulness at all. They played and laughed in the warm room, and when they were tired, they lay down on the ground. Sleep directly, anyway, the floor of their house is warmer than their own bed.
When the parents of the wolf cubs learned that they often came here, they were a little embarrassed and sent a lot of food, and Ji Ting's family table was enriched for a while.
After one winter passed, Shen Tuchuan and Ji Ting had contacts with many orcs in the tribe because of these little wolf cubs. Many people had a new understanding of Shen Tuchuan, and some even thought he was a very worthwhile friend. . Unknowingly, the orc's prejudice against Shen Tuchuan seemed to melt away along with the ice and snow.
As the ground began to turn green and the branches began to sprout, the orcs realized that spring had finally arrived.
The arrival of spring means that they will start preparing for the first hunt of the year. The prey that have hibernated in the forest for a winter should be fat and strong at this moment. The orcs are looking forward to the first hunt. Shen Tuchuan was no exception, he couldn't wait to hunt some fresh things back, to change Ji Ting's taste.
Ji Ting watched him talk about hunting every day, and his heart became more and more sad. This part of the plot was mentioned in the original text. According to the timeline in the text, the male supporting role has been killed by the male protagonist at this time, and the male and female protagonist and several other young orcs embarked on the road to find the missing partner after the beginning of spring, so This time the hunting was short of manpower, so the patriarch called all the adult orcs with intact limbs, leaving only the old, weak, sick and disabled wolf cubs in the tribe.
And when these people arrived in the deep forest, an earthquake suddenly occurred. All the adult orcs of the werewolf tribe were almost wiped out in the forest, and the cubs who had no adult orcs to take care of them also felt the earthquake because they didn't know what an earthquake was. Subconsciously hid back home and sacrificed. After returning, the male protagonist became the new patriarch and embarked on the road to revive the werewolf clan.
... She didn't bother to take care of which way the male lead wanted to go. The main thing now was how to deal with the earthquake.
Now her arrival saved Shen Tuchuan's life, so the hunting team that didn't have him in the first place must have him this time, and she has to find a way to save his life.
I don’t know if it’s because of the sudden increase in the reader’s resentment. Every time she tries to ask the patriarch to cancel the hunting, or remind Shen Tuchuan about the ‘earthquake’, she can’t make a sound, but if she just simply persuades him not to go, it’s okay. This would happen, so she had no choice but to persuade him earnestly.
After persuading her three or five times, Shen Tuchuan finally looked at her strangely and asked, "You've been very strange recently, is it because of something?"
Ji Ting opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only roll his eyes inwardly, and continued to calmly say: "It's nothing, I just feel uneasy, and I don't want you to participate in this hunting, anyway, we have enough food After a while, can't you not go?"
"No way, there are too few people who can go this time, and the beasts have rested for another winter, and their fighting power is too strong. If there is one less person, the hunting team will be more dangerous." Shen Tuchuan frowned. Today, he has begun to learn to gradually integrate into the group.
Ji Ting was very helpless, and after persuading him a few times, he still rejected him decisively, and it was the day of hunting in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Ji Ting closed his eyes and cried out in pain, Shen Tuchuan who was awakened hurriedly sat up: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"I, I may have had a bad stomach yesterday." Ji Ting gave him a 'weak' look, "Why don't you tell the patriarch not to go this time and stay at home to take care of me until next time Let's go hunting again..."
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment, folded his arms and squinted at her. After Ji Ting accidentally looked at him, he quickly looked away, coughed and said, "What's wrong?"
"No matter how you play today, I have to go," Shen Tuchuan suddenly became serious, "Listen, my father's retirement once broke our family. I can't let the tragedy happen again, I can't Let you go through the pain I went through again."
Ji Ting looked at him in a daze, but he didn't expect that the reason why he insisted on going was this.
After Shen Tuchuan finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to hug her, and said in a muffled voice, "I promise you everything else, but please let me go hunting, please?"
Ji Ting was silent for a long time, and then said bitterly: "But if I let you go, I'm afraid neither you nor I can afford the final outcome."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. You saw it last time I hunted. I'm the strongest one." Shen Tuchuan thought she was worried about him, so he couldn't help laughing.
Ji Ting pursed her lips, wondering if this time will be the same as last time, man-made disasters can still be avoided, how can natural disasters be avoided
Seeing that Ji Ting hadn't spoken, Shen Tuchuan let her go and said, "The water in the tank is almost used up, I'll fetch some water for you first, and then I'll meet up with other people."
After finishing speaking, he left without looking back. Ji Ting watched his back leave, and suddenly had an idea: the earthquake started after they went deep into the forest, if she made as much trouble as possible, delaying their When we go to the mountains, maybe everyone can avoid this disaster.
Thinking of this, she got up, took the stone piece and walked towards the place where the orcs gathered. As for Shen Tuchuan, who was going to the creek, he frowned when he saw the muddy water, and then heard movement behind him, he looked over immediately, and found that some voles were running around.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Because these animals do not have the sanity of humans, they are much stronger than the instincts of orcs. They must be able to perceive that they are here, but they still know that they are here. If he dared to run in front of him, there must be something wrong.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment, and finally determined that the muddy stream would not become clear easily, so he could only turn back with an empty bucket. Before he got home, he saw an orc standing at the door of his house from a distance, as if waiting for him, he walked over immediately: "What's wrong?"
"Go and see your woman, she, she is crazy!" The orc ran away after speaking, Shen Tuchuan was startled, and immediately dropped the barrel and followed.
Before he reached the place where the orcs gathered, he heard the patriarch's scolding, he rushed over, saw that Ji Ting was held down by several female orcs, and immediately snatched him back angrily: "What are you doing? !"
"I still want to ask what you want to do?! It's time to go hunting soon, why did she suddenly go crazy?! She wants to smash our hunting tools." The patriarch was furious.
Shen Tuchuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ji Ting, who had tears in his eyes, Ji Ting shook his sore wrist, opened his mouth but didn't say a word, the tears that were originally from the pain instantly fell out of anger .
"Don't go..." She could barely utter these two words.
Shen Tuchuan asked in a low voice: "Is there some reason you can't say that makes you think we can't go this time?"
Ji Ting nodded immediately.
"If we go, will we be in danger?" Shen Tuchuan asked again.
Ji Ting hurriedly nodded again.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her blankly for a long time, then suddenly looked at the patriarch blankly: "We don't want to go hunting today, just now I was fetching water in the forest, and saw that the stream was muddy, and the voles were running around. What's the matter, you know, our animal instincts are always inferior to real animals, so it's better to be cautious."
"Why be cautious! It's rare to have such good weather these days. If we don't go now, when the rainy season comes, the sky will be cloudy and the road will be slippery. How can we hunt?!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but say.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at him: "I am doing it for everyone's benefit."
"What's for everyone's good? I think it's because I'm too timid to go." The orc who had pursued Ji Ting before mumbled something, saying it was a whisper, but everyone heard it.
Shen Tuchuan tightened Ji Ting's fingers, and Ji Ting looked at him worriedly. He was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "If you want to think so, I can't help it."
Ji Ting felt a pain in his heart. He obviously cared so much about what others said about him, but in the end he still chose to believe her, but he never thought that if what she said didn't happen in the end, then he would be nailed to the pillar of shame For a lifetime.
The air suddenly became quiet, and in the silence, a small voice sounded: "Shen Tuchuan is not that kind of person, he is brave!"
All the orcs were taken aback, and looked at the little wolf cub in the corner together. The little wolf cub suddenly became shy after being stared at by so many people, but he still mustered up the courage to defend Shen Tuchuan: "He used to not let us go into the kang hole, saying There was a fire inside that could easily burn us, but we didn’t listen, and in the end our beards were scorched, if you don’t want your beards to be scorched, you’d better listen to him.”
The other little wolf cubs also echoed, and at this time an orc said: "I have been with Shen Tuchuan for a while, and I don't think he is the kind of person who runs away. Maybe he really found something abnormal. Let's trust him." .”
An adult orc took the lead, and other orcs also spoke one after another, saying that Shen Tuchuan had not escaped so many times before, and this time was definitely no exception. The voices speaking for him became louder and louder, and gradually everyone began to believe it. There were only a few opposing voices, which were also drowned in the voices of the people.
Shen Tuchuan's eyes were slightly hot, and he couldn't say a word, but silently clenched Ji Ting's fingers. Ji Ting patted his hand comfortingly, and looked at the patriarch calmly.
The patriarch was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "In this case, let's wait a little longer. If everything is still normal after a while, we will continue to hunt, so as not to miss the good weather now."
Shen Tuchuan thanked him, and a group of orcs sat in the large open space in the tribe and waited. The news that the hunters had not left spread to every household, and everyone ran over curiously to see the situation. Having fun around the adults and having no intention of going home at all.
After waiting for a long time, the stomachs began to be hungry, so a group of orcs had to take out the prepared dry food to eat. As the sun gradually moved westward, some of the orcs' patience was exhausted. Come on, you really believe in this idiot! The beam is not upright and the beam is crooked, his father's virtue, how can he really think he can be better? Are you still going hunting? If you delay it, then no one will go , everyone will starve to death!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Wu also hurriedly said: "No, I'm getting impatient, let's go, I'm different from some people, I'm anxious to bring back more prey for the tribe!"
They talked to each other, making people's hearts impetuous, and the patriarch had no choice but to announce his departure. Ji Ting's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stood up to stop him: "No!"
The patriarch's face was a bit ugly: "Okay, enough trouble now, don't let it go on forever. If Shen Tuchuan doesn't want to go, then he doesn't have to go this time, so don't delay everyone."
"Really not!" Ji Ting was anxious.
The patriarch glanced at everyone, and the group was about to leave. Ji Ting looked at Shen Tuchuan for help, and Shen Tuchuan walked up to her with a cold face, and blocked them with his weapon: "No one can leave."
"Shen Tuchuan!" The patriarch said angrily, "If you mess around again, I will drive you out of the tribe!"
As soon as this remark came out, the orcs including Xiao Wu were all surprised. Expulsion from the tribe is not as good as leaving voluntarily. It is a crime, and other tribes will not accept this person. For the orcs, it is more terrible than death.
However, Shen Tuchuan didn't move, and just repeated: "You can't go."
The patriarch reprimanded him a few more words, and seeing that he was unmoved, he simply rushed towards him with the others, intending to forcefully break through and leave. Shen Tuchuan also stopped him head-on, but it was a pity that he was alone and was quickly pushed down by several strong orcs. Ji Ting roared and wanted to help, but was subdued by a female orc.
Hearing Ji Ting's anxious voice, Shen Tuchuan gritted his teeth and struggled desperately, and flung several people away. Just when the scene was in a mess, a little wolf cub suddenly started crying, and then all the little wolf cubs started crying, yelling 'Dizziness, dizziness'.
The movement of the cubs made the adult orcs stunned, and then a female orc suddenly screamed: "The earth is shaking!"
"There's an earthquake! Why don't you fucking protect your child!" With the arrival of the earthquake, Ji Ting, who finally got rid of the restriction of readers' resentment, roared angrily.
The people present were startled, and started looking for their family members in a hurry, ignoring Shen Tuchuan any more. Ji Ting rushed to Shen Tuchuan, patted the dust on his body distressedly, and tears fell down when he patted: "Xiao Chuan... Xiao Chuan..."
"Is this what you haven't been able to say all this time?" Shen Tuchuan didn't suffer any other injuries except for a scratch on his hand. Seeing her crying, he whispered a few words of comfort, and then asked this sentence .
Ji Ting took a sniff, and after a while he responded softly, Shen Tuchuan hugged him distressedly: "Did you spend a lot of time persuading me these few days?"
Ji Ting shook his head slightly: "Thank you for believing in me."
Shen Tuchuan chuckled and patted her on the back lightly. The house not far away collapsed and cracks appeared on the ground, but they hugged peacefully in the open space, as if the noise around them had nothing to do with them.
After a long time, the earth became calm, and Shen Tuchuan asked softly, "Are you a god? Are you a god who came to save me from the sea of suffering?"
Ji Ting sniffed and murmured, "If you think I am, then I am."
"Then will you go?" After asking this sentence, Shen Tuchuan was stunned for a moment, always felt that he seemed to have said this many times, and felt that every time she gave him an answer, it seemed to be the one in the affirmative.
For a moment, a lot of things seemed to be squeezed into his head, he covered his head in pain, and let out a mournful cry from his throat. Ji Ting was frightened by him, and hurriedly hugged his shoulders, letting him rest on her lap: "Xiao Chuan! Xiao Chuan! What's wrong with you?!"
This kind of pain seemed to explode his whole brain, the veins on his forehead were exposed, his body also twitched, and his face was distorted almost out of shape. Ji Ting kept calling his name, and stuffed her hand into his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue. Her mind was blank, and she only knew to try her best not to hurt him.
The pain only lasted for a short period of time, and Shen Tuchuan returned to normal. At this moment, he was sweating profusely, and his face was as pale as a ghost: "What's wrong with me?"
"I don't know, you suddenly started to hurt..." Ji Ting's voice trembled.
Shen Tuchuan frowned, vaguely felt that there seemed to be a lot of things in his mind just now, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember anything.
"Are you okay now? Is there any pain? Is there anything abnormal?" Ji Ting asked nervously.
Shen Tuchuan moved his hands and feet, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it except that his muscles were too tense and sore just now.
Only then did Ji Ting feel relieved, wiped away tears and hugged him again, Shen Tuchuan rubbed her hair with a smile, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Ji Ting nodded, and a few teardrops fell with the shaking of his head. When Shen Tuchuan reached out to help her wipe, he felt someone approaching beside him, and he looked over subconsciously.
A full tribe of mature orcs, either holding the elderly or holding children, walked towards them slowly, then crawled down five steps away from them, and saluted them solemnly.
This kind of etiquette can only be done to the gods, Shen Tuchuan paused, and felt a little uneasy: "What are you doing?"
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, my family might have been in trouble." Unexpectedly, the person thanking him this time turned out to be Xiao Wu.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at him uncomfortably, then looked at Ji Ting. Ji Ting wiped away his tears, and helped the two of them stand up together: "Everyone, get up, I also accidentally felt that something was wrong, and you can be forgiven for not believing me before, there is no need to feel guilty."
The orcs refused to get up, especially Xiao Wu who was the first to speak. Suddenly his eyes were red and he was about to cry, and he slapped himself twice: "Damn me! I'm a bastard! I have bullied Shen Tuchuan for so many years. In the end it was he who saved my family, I deserve to die..."
His mother stopped his hand crying, and a group of orcs began to apologize to Shen Tuchuan. Shen Tuchuan looked at them in front of them with red eyes, and was speechless for a long time.
The respect he wanted from the bottom of his heart was finally earned by himself.
After the earthquake, it was time to repair the house. As the hero who saved the tribe, Shen Tuchuan's house was the first to be repaired. After he and Ji Ting slept on the ground for two days, he finally returned to his home. In the same house as before, Shen Tuchuan hugged Ji Ting from behind.
"thanks."
Ji Ting smiled and patted his hand: "We are a family."
"... Will we be together forever?" Shen Tuchuan asked again.
Ji Ting raised the corners of his lips: "Of course, I will be with you all my life."
Shen Tuchuan's ears shook quickly, and it took him a while to say something in a low voice: "Listen, I feel so happy now."
"Me too." Ji Ting leaned in his arms.
The people behind were silent for a long time, and the voice suddenly became lower: "It's just that the ears and tail are a little ugly."
As soon as his words fell, Ji Ting realized something, turned around to look at him in surprise, looked at his slightly indifferent eyes, and asked unexpectedly for a long time: "Have you recovered your memory?"
Shen Tuchuan looked at her calmly, all the childish awkwardness in his eyes disappeared: "Unhappy?"
"...what's wrong with me?" Ji Ting gave him a strange look, and then realized something, "No, if you recover your memory, it should be that the mission in this world has been successful, why haven't we jumped yet? world?"
After finishing speaking, she began to summon the reader's grievances in her mind, but she didn't respond for a long time. Just when she was in a hurry, Shen Tuchuan suddenly disappeared in front of her. Ji Ting was taken aback, and searched around to confirm that Shen Tuchuan had completely panicked after disappearing—
Damn it! Shouldn't she be left alone in this world!
Ji Ting walked around the room anxiously, calling out the reader's resentment in his mind, but the reader's resentment seemed to be dead, without any movement.
Thinking back to when the remaining ten percent was left, readers’ resentment often disappeared. Now that the world is successful, it means that the resentment has disappeared by nearly ten percent. Maybe even the power to keep her jumping out of control is lost. Thinking of this, Ji Ting's heart gradually became suspended, but in the next second, her eyes went dark, and she suddenly started to jump around the world.
