Before winter, Luo Jie’s small vegetable garden was pulled up, and Lei Jin also helped clean it up. There were no green vegetables in winter, so he pickled some fresh leaves and some wild vegetables. Meat, at this time, is almost ready, there are meat and vegetables, and it tastes good with porridge and rice in the morning. Of course, this is only for him and Roger. The orcs at home can’t be full with this, so they still need to eat some big pieces Meat.
Lei Jin's appetite is not bad, the sweet potato polenta made by Mo Ya is very sticky, Lei Jin ate three full bowls with small pickles, and wanted to serve some more, but Mo Ya stretched out his hand to stop him.
"What? Now you feel sorry for me even having a meal?" Lei Jin put down the bowl, raised his head and said half-jokingly.
"It's uncomfortable to eat too much sweet potato. You can eat as much as you can." The most important thing is that he knows Lei Jin's food intake. He never ate two bowls at the most before, and complained that the bowl here is too big. Tired, and now he didn't even frown after eating three bowls, it didn't look right no matter what.
"May I give you Mingya's broth." Seeing that Lei Jin didn't seem to be full yet, but what the second brother said was right, Mingya took the initiative to push the unfinished half bowl of broth in front of Lei Jin .
"Don't eat, you can eat by yourself." Lei Jin mopped his mouth and stood up impatiently. Seeing that everyone at the table was looking at him, he smiled apologetically: "Go ahead, I'm full, go out for a walk After two rounds of digestion, I ate too much in the past two days, and I have gained a little flesh."
Long meat? Mo Ya didn't notice it at all. Although Lei Jin eats a lot every day, he doesn't seem to be getting fat. It will take ten days and a half months at the fastest to go back. If there is a snowstorm or something, there may be a delay. How can people rest assured that Lei Jin stays at home like this, but this weather can't take him with him. go together.
Mo Ya looked at Lei Jin with worried eyes.
"Go back to the house and put on some clothes before going out, it's snowing and cold outside." Xi Ya was close to the door, just in time to grab his wrist, but Lei Jin pulled it back calmly.
"Okay, then I'll go back to the room first." This is another change of Lei Jin. Everything is very negotiable. This should be put in the past. Hear without ears.
Before Lei Jin could step out, the corner of his eye flashed, and the animal skin curtain hanging on the door was lifted from the outside.
"Berg? I haven't seen you for several days. Why did you come here so early today? Are you rushing to have something to eat together?" Lei Jin greeted the people who came in with a smile.
"I'm still eating. I came early." Berg's face showed a bit of embarrassment. He had already eaten early, and he thought this restaurant should have eaten too.
"I'm just kidding. Now that you've moved out, how come people are divided?" Lei Jin generously patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Come in and sit down, don't stand around the door like a door god."
Berg smiled wryly in his heart, it's not my birth share, but your birth share, right? The more indifferent you are, the more at a loss for me.
If it wasn't for Bubble's high fever in the middle of the night that night, he wouldn't take the risk to come back. Although he has been in the tribe for a while, he doesn't know many people. I fell in love with Lan Qi who was guarding here. Although no one thought about what happened later, but because of Lei Jin losing his child, Berg felt that he was to blame, and he didn't even have the qualifications to ask for forgiveness. Originally, he had no face to come back. Yes, but he is leaving, and wants to see what he can do for Lei Jin, to make up for a little bit.
Bubble, who had been drowsy in Berg's arms, heard Lei Jin's voice, raised his head excitedly, looked at Lei Jin only with big bright eyes, and opened his small arms to let him hug him.
Lei Jin didn't seem to see him, but Luo Jie, who had also finished eating, wiped his hands, came over to take the child, and teased: "It's been a long time since I hugged Pao Pao, does Pao Pao still know me?"
Bubble obviously didn't appreciate it very much. He twisted his neck, stared stubbornly at Lei Jin who was still standing by the door, and suddenly spit out a few meaningless syllables: "pa, pa, pa..."
Luo Jie was startled, and looked at Lei Jin reflexively.
Xi Ya and the others also looked over.
Lei Jin smiled indifferently, looked back at them suspiciously, touched his face and said, "I know I'm handsome, but don't look at me with such hungry eyes, early in the morning, How embarrassing."
Roger pursed his lips, and before he could speak, Lei Jin stretched his waist, rubbed his belly and continued, "I'm really full, I have to go out for a walk, Berg, sit down, I'll be there soon." came back."
He turned his head and smiled at everyone, and walked out slowly.
"Lei Jin..." Xi Ya and the others got up instinctively and were about to chase them out.
Roger raised his hand to stop them and said, "Don't go, let him be quiet."
Berg didn't know what was going on at all, but looking at the expressions of everyone in the room, it seemed that something serious had happened. He didn't say anything after he came, what happened.
"It's not because of you, come and sit, Berg." People in this world call their parents Daddy, Ahh, there is no such title as Mom and Dad, so Berg didn't know that the few syllables that Bubble spit out, How much like a father, this is such a big blow to a person who has just lost a child, even if Lei Jin pretends to be strong, how could he not be touched in his heart.
As soon as he went out, Lei Jin started to run. The snow on the grassland was still thick. Lei Jin ran with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Spit out all the breakfast. There was not a single drop left, but I still couldn't help feeling nauseated, but my stomach was already clean, Lei Jin scratched his throat, and could only spit out a little water.
Lei Jin leaned against a short tree and squatted down. The sun rose and shone on the vast white land.
The snow on the small hill not far away reflected the sun, which made people unable to open their eyes. After looking at it for a long time, their eyes began to burn and hurt. It turns out that they ran here unknowingly.
What right do you have to be sad? I chose to give up first. I wanted to get rid of this child from the very beginning when I knew it existed. Later, although I reluctantly agreed to stay, I just felt sorry for Xi Ya and the others. With the so-called mentality of repaying my gratitude, But don't you want to abandon him here? The child is gone, and there is no one to blame.
In fact, why bother to talk about resentment, he didn't want it in the first place, the child is gone, he can just go away without any worries, no ties, yes, he is not sad at all, not at all, he is a man, he didn't want to Having a child, this child should not have been born, the child is gone, it is the best result for everyone, and everyone will go to their proper position. Lei Jin told himself over and over again, but it couldn't alleviate the pain of his heart being pinched and crushed in the palm of his hand. It was the child who had been in his stomach for nearly eight months but had never seen him.
This posture lasted for a long time, and when Lei Jin wanted to stand up, he realized that his feet and legs were numb from the cold. When he moved his body, he threw himself into the snow, and the splashed snow foam penetrated from his collar. Going in, it's cold and cold, but I feel very comfortable.
Mo Ya stood not far away and waited for a long while, seeing Lei Jin laying on the snow without any thought, she came over without making a sound, scooped it up and carried it on her back, her movements were clean and neat, without any muddling.
"Let go, Mo Ya, don't touch me." Lei Jin hit and kicked, struggling to jump off.
"Don't make trouble." Mo Ya patted Lei Jin's restless buttocks behind him.
"You big-headed ghost." Lei Jin grabbed Mo Ya's collar and gritted his teeth in an attempt to strangle him to death, but his expression was calm without any disturbance when Mo Ya couldn't see it.
Mo Ya, Mo Ya, everything here makes me almost suffocated. Every night, I can dream that the child is crying by my side and seems to want to say that I don't want to leave.
Xi Ya and Ming Ya ran over and covered Lei Jin with the clothes they brought, but no one spoke, and three pairs of footprints of the four continued deep and shallow in the snow.
Back in the house, Xi Ya and Mo Ya disregarded Lei Jin's objection, stripped him naked, stuffed him into a thick blanket, felt the cold on his body, and went to fetch hot water for him to take a bath to keep him warm body.
"Lei Jin, your feet are so cold." Ming Ya foolishly held Lei Jin's cold and red feet, as long as it is Lei Jin's, everything is beautiful.
Lei Jin snorted softly, and Mingya came back to her senses, unbuttoned her clothes, pressed Lei Jin's feet on her stomach, and held them in her arms. The warm body shrank instinctively when it first came into contact with the stinging coolness, but when it thought it was Lei Jin, it made the two of them stick together even more.
Lei Jin had been frozen in the snow for a long time, and he didn't feel any sensation in his feet. After a while, he felt numb and itchy, and he got better. The tactile sensation under his feet was not as firm as that of Xi Ya and Mo Ya, but his skin was soft and greasy. Like a child, youth is indeed capital.
"Lei Jin, have you warmed up?" Mingya showed a sweet smile, as long as she can be with Lei Jin, she can do anything.
"Mingya?"
"En?" Lei Jin seldom called his name so seriously, Mingya felt a little uncomfortable.
A masochistic physique in itself.
"It's okay, I'm already warm, let go." Mingya, the first little guy I met in this world, should have such a sweet smile no matter what.
Two days later, the orcs in the tribe set off on time, and both Lei Jin and Luo Jie went to see them off again.
Before leaving, Lei Jin seemed to have accidentally left the two black jade stones on the necks of Xi Ya and Ming Ya, but unexpectedly, Mo Ya took a deep look at him, with unclear meaning in her deep eyes, and stretched out her hand from her bosom. He took out the third black jade and handed it to him. After they left, Lei Jin spread the three black jades in the palm of his hand, which just formed a ring, which fit together perfectly and was indispensable. At this moment, he understood that this is the most complete.
Back home, Roger spread out the map he had drawn on the table, pointed to Lei Jin and explained to Lei Jin: "The map I drew passed through the secret passage, and the secret passage in the temple here cannot be opened. This map It may not help you much on the road, but once you get to the forbidden area, it should help you find the door to go back to the door of reincarnation. Remember, you have to get there before the end of the year anyway, although it has not been proven, but The twenty years between you and me is not just a coincidence, if you miss it, you will have to wait until twenty years later."
Lei Jin nodded solemnly.
"How do you get there? You must know that it's snowing heavily now, and it's even more difficult to walk in the jungle. You can't go through the jungle and reach the forbidden area safely with your own strength. Besides, Xi Ya and the others will find you soon. "After all, the orc's keen sense of smell cannot deceive people.
"I know, I plan to cross the grassland to the east and cross by sea." Lei Jin had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Sea?" Roger frowned. "There is no ship here for you to cross the sea. How are you going to go by sea?"
"Berg will find a way." The reason why he chose the sea route is that firstly, with the help of that person, it is relatively safe, and secondly, the sea water can cover up his smell, making Xi Ya's pursuit directionless, since he wants to go , Of course, you have to leave completely, and you must not be retrieved by them.
After taking a bath that day, Berg came to his room, and the two of them talked alone for a long time. He heard from Berg that he was finally going back to the tribe in the sea with Bubbles, although he didn’t know that Berg and How did Lan Qi talk about it, but it doesn't matter now. Berg said a lot one after another, but in the end, he wanted to make up for him. The children are gone, and it doesn't make sense for him to make up for it or not. Because he is leaving, everything here has nothing to do with him, when it comes to leaving, he thinks of something, maybe Lan Qi can help, after all, the sea is Lan Qi's world.
When Beige heard that he was going to help Lei Jin leave, he was a little hesitant, but finally nodded in agreement under Lei Jin's unwavering eyes.
"When are you going to leave?" Roger didn't ask any more questions. He knew that since Lei Jin could tell, he was already 90% sure.
"There are still some things to prepare." After all, when they are all at home, he can't make a big show, but even with Lan Qi's help, he still has to rely on himself along the way. In order to arrive smoothly, he must Be prepared.
"If there's anything else I can help you, just say it." Now, Roger knows that persuasion is useless, and all he can do is to help Lei Jin prepare better.
"You've helped me a lot, and I'll keep that in mind." From Roger's point of view, it might be difficult for him to make a choice like Roger's. After all, one is his own son, and the other is at best a Just strangers from my hometown.
"You don't have to thank me, because you did what I couldn't do back then. Seeing you is like seeing myself back then, but I don't have your courage, nor your... cruel heart."
heartless? Maybe so, Lei Jin thought.
"I'll see you off when you leave." Roger folded up the map, wrapped it up, and handed it to Lei Jin.
"You're the only one left." Lei Jin put the map in his arms, which was the key to his return home.
