Andrea did not completely give up her ability to think. After Xiang En pointed out Walter's shortcomings, she said nothing more.
Two trap totems were planted next to the sled. After ensuring that everything was safe, Xiang En took Andrea back to the second floor to rest.
The trap totems are Xiang En's most common totems. He also thought these totems were heavy, so he inserted another one on the stairs on the second floor and next to the windows on the second floor, thus protecting all places where people can enter.
The two continued to sleep in bed, not losing sleep because of Walter's appearance, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
They slept until the next morning without encountering any unexpected situation. Walter disappeared completely from the sight of the two of them as if he had never appeared before.
When you open the door, the totems inside and outside the house are still standing quietly without being triggered.
There was only a long series of footprints left on the snow, proving that Walter had appeared.
The other party did not appear again, and Xiang En and Andrea would not take the initiative to find each other. Their purpose was to go to the edge town of Fiore Province, the territory of Baron Alva, to find Andrea's family.
Although Andrea's family has most likely had an accident, there is always something to try...
Getting back on the road, the two of them dragged the sled and left the city of Michie.
Until they left Michigan for a long time, they still didn't see Walter.
When he asked people to leave, he was very straightforward, but when Walter really didn't block the way, Xiang En had some random thoughts.
According to his impression, being an adventurer's shameless person is a professional label, not to mention that if it's for life and food, it's only logical that there should be obstacles in the way.
This kind of thinking only lasted for about ten minutes, and Xiang En forgot about it. Pulling the sled made him too tired to think too much.
At noon.
The clouds that lingered in the sky finally cleared up this day. Xiang En and Andrea walked all the way and were resting on the road. There was snow everywhere in the pot beside them. They both raised their heads in unison. , squinting at the sun above his head.
Feeling the warmth of the sun shining on your face, you relaxed for the first time in a long time.
Although the snow has not yet melted, the temperature has really risen a lot, and it is estimated that the snow will melt soon.
The winter that lasted for more than three months was coming to an end, and the two of them had left the De Aire Province and officially set foot in the Fiore Province.
While they were enjoying the midday sun, nearly two kilometers behind them, six figures in different clothes were chasing each other through the snow.
The leading stranger wore a yellow scarf around his neck, and his clothes were light gray, which was a break from the traditional dark tones. Surrounded by the gray snow, if you didn't look carefully, you might miss him.
The sun shone on his body, causing the man to stop involuntarily and look up at the sky. He also had a face full of beards, but his face was much larger than the others, and his eyes were smaller than the others. It looks quite strange.
The man stopped, and the few remaining people who had wrapped themselves up like gas cans also stopped, and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, feeling a sense of relief.
After a brief sigh of emotion, the leading man suddenly turned to look at the inconspicuous figure in the middle of the team, and asked in a dry voice: "Didn't you say that they can't move fast with two sleds? How come they have been chasing for so long?" No one was seen!”
The man being looked at raised his head, revealing a face full of beards, and smiled flatteringly at the man who spoke: "Boss Ma Ji, maybe I miscalculated the time. As long as we keep following the traces, we will definitely be able to catch him." Caught up!"
The person who said this was Walter, who disappeared since last night.
After Xiang En refused to follow him, Walter almost immediately thought of a way to indirectly achieve his goal.
Since Xiang En refuses to give me any more bread, then I will find someone to rob you!
In this way, there is bread, and the result is that you are sharing the food behind others, which is simply perfect!
Not long ago, when he was picking up corpses in the forest, he discovered an inhabited village, where five people led by Ma Ji lived.
Walter had a weird idea, found the five people from Markey, told Xiang En and Andrea, and prepared to work with them to achieve a win-win situation.
Just as Walter thought, Marky agreed after some hesitation, and went with them to grab Xiang En and the two, demanding that he be the first woman to enjoy the tender skin and tender meat in Walter's mouth.
Those who can survive those ghouls are basically people with some ability. With six people together, there is no need to think about failure when dealing with two people.
The gap between bronze-level professionals and silver-level professionals is not that big. If there is a numerical advantage, there is no need to worry at all.
As long as they keep dealing with Xiang En and the other two, until their magic power is exhausted... food and women will be at their fingertips!
"Humph, it'd better be as you said."
The broad-faced Markie snorted. Walter could detect them. Of course, they had also discovered the traces left by Walter when he was moving in the forest.
We have just started communicating now, and Walter’s little thoughts are obvious. Can he still guess it
Didn’t you come to them just because you couldn’t figure it out yourself
Put yourself in their shoes, if Markey could eat those two people, he wouldn't share it with others.
But he was just unhappy, unhappy that Walter didn't selflessly share the food with him.
"Boss, we've been walking for so long, why don't we take a rest?"
After the conversation between the two ended, one person in the team interjected coyly, "I, I want to relieve myself!"
Marky was not a devil, so he waved his hand and let him go, "Hurry up, if anyone else wants to go, go quickly. If you can't catch up, we will all starve today!"
As soon as the words fell, the boy jumped through the snow towards the woods, followed by two more.
After resting for a while, the Majis continued on their way, eager for food and people.
…
At this time, Xiang En didn't know that there was a tail behind him. He was sitting on the sled with Andrea, drinking freshly boiled water and eating tired bread.
They have almost finished the bacon and dried meat, and the quantity is limited, so they have to save their food.
Fortunately, bread contains many kinds of nutrients that the human body needs. Anyway, they have not suffered from malnutrition after eating it for so long.
After eating the bread and almost resting, the two men covered the sled with the animal skins again and continued on the road.
Compared with Ma Ji and others who were chasing them in the snow, the wooden boards on Xiang En and Andrea's feet to increase the landing area had a good effect, and their speed was only faster than horses without encumbrances. Ji and others slow down a little.
The two of them also had spells and bread to restore their physical strength, and they stopped to rest only a handful of times.
With a distance of just two kilometers, the six people from Ma Ji couldn't catch up!
If it weren't for the fresh traces of snow and Walter's repeated assurances, Markey would have given up in the afternoon.
But the temptation of bread and women was too great. In addition, Walter kept persuading and instigating, and the younger brothers were also collectively in love. After paying so much sunk cost, the aggrieved Marky finally had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue chasing.
…
Neither Xiang En nor Andrea knew that there was a tail following behind them. They walked alone until nightfall was approaching, and then they stopped on the side of the road.
After clearing away the snow in an area, the two put the two sleds together, set up wooden sticks, covered them with animal skins, and the simple tent was completed.
He took the stove he had been carrying out of the sled, picked up some wood on the spot, put it in the stove and lit it, and put an iron pot on the stove to boil water.
Xiang En and Andrea sat on the sleigh, their bodies very close to each other, their feet and hands close to the stove to warm themselves. They exhaled a breath of turbidity at the same time, and their eyes narrowed, enjoying the short silence.
At the same time, five hundred meters behind, the six people in Ma Ji were all blue in the face and staggered as they walked, as if they were about to fall to the ground at any time.
After a day of hunger and chasing all the way, their condition declined quite seriously.
In the middle of the journey, Marky still had the energy to vent his anger on Walter, but now, all he could think about was falling asleep.
His grandma's, I've been chasing him all day, why haven't I seen anyone yet
I need to change my computer desk. My shoulders are very sore and I can’t stand the current desk.
