As soon as Lili heard that she could help, Lily took Hao Ren to her place with great enthusiasm. According to her, to do things must be considered in the long run, and if the sky falls, you have to take the guests home for dinner first. Besides.
Although this silly girl who wanted to go to the south to find a big city but went all the way north to Siberia had a bit of a temper, her ability and drive to survive in the wilderness was definitely not something she could have. While walking north, I was exploring the "outside world" with full curiosity. I stopped and stopped along the way, and stopped to play for a while when I encountered a place of interest. This added up to a total of several years of time.
For a werewolf girl who had lived in an isolated mountain village since she was a child and had to suppress her nature throughout her childhood, the journey of these few years was probably the happiest time since she was born.
And now she lives with a group of Siberian wolves, and the place she lives is of course far away from human settlements: deep in the dense pine forest, there is a cabin abandoned by hunters. The hunter who once built this wooden cabin has long since disappeared. The past population has also been swallowed by the wind and snow, and now the wooden house in the forest has become a place for Lily to stay temporarily.
The pack of wolves had their own resting place near the wooden house. After Lily gave them an order to disperse, the pack of beasts disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in the blink of an eye. Hao Ren sensed that most of them did not leave the wooden house for more than two or three hundred meters. Along with the sound of the wind, you can occasionally hear the soft barking of wolves. And Lily pushed open the door of the cabin and let her guests into the house.
The inside of the cabin was not as simple and dilapidated as Hao Ren imagined.
Although it looks old from the outside, even a bit crumbling, but the inside is clean and tidy, the holes and cracks on the wall are tightly blocked with animal fur and rough wooden boards, and the decayed beams It has also been re-reinforced with wood. The hunter's hut does not have an overly complicated structure. It is divided into two rooms with only a layer of thin wood. Lots of clutter. In the corner of the outer room, Hao Ren saw a lot of messy things: rusty axes, broken wheels, tattered furs, and even an old-fashioned shotgun. A husky girl broke it while practicing hand strength.
These messy things are piled up like hills in the corner, and most of them don't look like things used by the old owner of the hut, but more like a pile of collectibles. It seems that a certain husky spirit is picking up things randomly when he goes out. The problem is really a historical problem.
Noticing that Hao Ren's eyes fell on the pile of debris in the corner, Lily was not embarrassed at all, but showed off proudly: "Oh, you noticed, these are all I usually collect! Let me tell you , although I rarely see people here, there are occasional people passing by nearby, and they bring all kinds of strange gadgets from the human world-I let my wolf pack stare in the woods to see what is interesting Let them grab one or two things. But don’t worry, I won’t let them hurt anyone, just bring me something to play with…”
As soon as Hao Ren heard it, he understood what was going on with the ambush he encountered before: "Those gray wolves planned to rob me after a long time?"
Lily scratched her hair in embarrassment: "Hey..."
"I was almost robbed by a pack of wolves...how can people reason?" Hao Ren felt a little dumbfounded, "So you taught the pack of wolves to change their formations when they robbed their prey?"
"That's called the Art of War, do you understand the Art of War?" Lily gave me a very powerful expression, "There is an old gentleman in our village who has studied, he said that the Art of War is a very powerful thing. After a while, he almost killed a hundred thousand troops, and I even borrowed a book of Three Kingdoms with paintings from him to read!"
As she spoke, she fumbled in her clothes, and finally took out an old-looking thread-bound version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The worn-out book cover was almost completely worn out, and she couldn't even tell which volume it was in a set of books. , Lily held it as a treasure: "After I learned how to read, I began to pester the old man to ask for this book. It took him a long time to lend it to me... ah!"
Hao Ren was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
Lily cried sadly: "I came out of the village in a hurry, and forgot to return it to him..."
Hao Ren: "...you just remembered?"
"Well, anyway, after you find someone, I have to turn around and go back. When the time comes, I will sneak back to the village and return the book." The husky girl quickly threw the matter away with her natural peace of mind. To the side, "Let's eat something first, I'm so hungry after fighting with you..."
Then Hao Ren watched as Lily lighted the firepit in the center of the wooden house with flint and dry grass, and took out an old iron pot with holes from the inner room to support it on the fire. There was ready-made ice and snow outside the door. After melting for a while, it was half a pot of hot water, and on the beams of the hut were dried and frozen bacon. Lily broke them into pieces with her bare hands and threw them into the hot pot, but she did not know where to find them. Some beans and grains were poured in, and a pot of hot meat porridge was cooked like this. In the end, she ran to the back of the house and dug out two frozen salmon from the snow. They were melted by the heat of the firepit, and then they were put on iron rods and baked on both sides of the iron pan.
She was so proficient, and her swift and skillful movements even dazzled Hao Ren.
It turns out that this domestic dog who usually just sits at home and waits for others to feed him has this set of skills
"This fish was brought by a brown bear who lives nearby. It is good at catching fish. I often trade it with other prey for fish," Lily said while stirring the meat porridge in the pot with a long-handled iron spoon. He said, "But the rarest thing in this place is seasoning. There is a shortage of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. There is a saltwater lake far away from here. You can get some salt from there, but other things are difficult. So you just make do with it..."
Hao Ren watched Lily prepare dinner hard, his heart moved, and he calmly took out a package of things from the portable space and handed it over: "I can't just eat yours, you should try this."
Lily took the colorful-looking package curiously, pinched its plastic packaging, and put it under her nose to smell it: "Sniff—what is this? Can it be eaten?"
"Tear it from the gap, and the outside is the packaging bag," Hao Ren smiled. "This thing is called Latiao, you should like it."
Lily fiddled with it carefully for a long time before clumsily tearing open the packaging bag. Suddenly, a strong and pungent smell floated into her nostrils. She pinched a spicy stick from it and stuffed it into her mouth, slowly touching it: "It tastes like big gluten... Woohoo... This is delicious!"
Sure enough, she and Latiao were so in tune with each other from the beginning!
Lily was snoring while holding the bag of spicy strips, half of the bag of snacks was swept into her stomach in the blink of an eye, but in the end she stopped suddenly, holding the remaining half bag of spicy strips with great care: "No, I have to save the remaining half bag, this stuff can be used as seasoning in porridge..."
Hao Ren laughed when he saw this: "Eat, eat, I still have more here."
Lily looked him up and down curiously: "By the way, where did you get all these weird things? And those things you used to treat the wolf's wounds before, where are they hidden? Can you do magic tricks? ?”
"This is what I do," Hao Ren said, knowing that Lily is at the best stage of fooling her life (in fact, she has always been good at fooling), so she said without any psychological pressure, "It's like you can become Half-wolf, half-human and super powerful, I can summon all kinds of things."
"Then turn me into Zhuge Liang, the one who can place stone formations."
Hao Ren: "... I don't think you understand what I mean..."
"Then can you become Zhang Fei? I want to compete with him to see who is stronger!"
"There is no need to compare this, let alone Zhang Fei, I guess no human being in the past and present can turn the stone pillar at the entrance of the Temple of Athena into a propeller with one hand like you."
"What is Athena?"
Hao Ren: "...why do you have so many questions?"
"Oh, then I won't ask," Lily pursed her mouth, but turned her head around after a few seconds, "What is that propeller?"
Hao Ren: "... let's talk about finding someone!"
When chatting with this husky spirit, you must not digress casually. This girl's topic divergence is simply uranium 235. Give her a neutron and she can develop a chain reaction for you! Hao Ren has been with her for three years, why does he always forget this
Luckily, Lily's attention was diverted and quickly recovered. Hao Ren's words reminded her of this incident again, and the husky girl shook her ears: "Oh yes, help you find someone to help you find someone, let me tell you what you are looking for What kind of person is he?"
"It's similar to the two of us, and it's not human," Hao Ren said while thinking, "I'm not sure where she is, I can only guess that she is sleeping nearby, and the place where she is sleeping is surrounded by big... There should also be abnormalities in the natural and astronomical aspects of the no-man's land... "
As he spoke, he calculated in his mind: According to the manuscript, Vivienne's last activity in Siberia was the battle with the angry spirit three hundred years ago, and her deep sleep should have happened not long after that; on the other hand, according to his Understand that the Lily in the real world is almost a hundred years old, of which sixty or seventy years are spent in human society activities, and the "old version of Lily" in front of me has not yet touched human society...
As soon as the information from the two aspects is gathered, there is a huge time difference, at least two centuries.
why is that
Was it that Vivian had really been asleep for more than two hundred years? Or is Lily getting her age wrong? Or in this distorted time and space, history no longer operates according to the original "ruler"
All three scenarios are possible.
Lily's voice suddenly sounded: "Why are you in a daze?"
Hao Ren woke up suddenly: "Oh cough cough... It's okay, it's okay, what did you say just now? Oh yes, her deep sleep..."
"Sleeping? That friend of yours is a good sleeper?" Lily rubbed her chin, "There doesn't seem to be a suitable place to sleep in this world of ice and snow."
"Uh, I think the deep sleep you understand probably doesn't mean the same thing as what I said." Hao Ren rubbed his forehead, "Forget it, it's a bit difficult to explain this to you, I have something she used, you can smell it chant?"
