18. Chapter 18(1/2)
Renn stared at his front paws, his palms were small and his flesh was tender. He turned his head and looked behind him. His thick and long tail just now also shrank and became instinctive. He hung obediently, with a slightly raised tail, looking harmless and stupid.
He has returned to his damn childhood.
Renne gritted his teeth and felt very ups and downs in a short period of time, and no one's expression would look very good.
Here, Ji Xiaoou and Eric were also shocked.
Her sleepiness suddenly woke up, staring at the little leopard who was "entering himself" on the bed, and thought about it hard.
Didn’t it stay in her space, and when did it come out?
How did it come out?
After thinking about it, I had no impression of it at all.
Could it be that I accidentally released it out of the space while I was sleeping?
Ji Xiaoou took two steps forward, trying to get close to the little leopard and take a closer look at what was going on.
As soon as he took a step, his wrist was tightly held by Eric beside him.
Eric's eyes widened, he shook his head at her, and wandered: "Ou... don't go over."
Eric said that he could not understand the scene in front of him, which could even be said to be incredible.
What he just saw was obviously a large adult cheetah, but why did he turn into a weak and harmless little leopard in a blink of an eye?
"Why can't you go?" Ji Xiaoou stopped as he said.
"Because...it..." Eric hesitated, his usual clever talk seemed to be tripped by something, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence. He was afraid that Ren would cause trouble for his racial racial times when he became older, and worried that Ji Xiaoou would not accept it after he said it.
After hesitating for a long time, he still made a cruel decision and told him all: "After you fell asleep just now, your leopard, it turned into..."
——It turns into a mature cheetah and wants to be bad for you.
Unfortunately, there was no chance to finish this sentence. The little leopard on the bed quickly raised his eyes, a cold light flashed through his eyes, and his hind limbs exerted force, jumped up suddenly, and rushed towards Eric.
Eric was caught off guard and staggered back two steps, feeling a black look in front of him—
The leopard was lying on his face.
Immediately afterwards, it exposed its pointed nails, opened its bow left and right, and stroked it left six blood marks on Eric's face.
"oh--"
Eric covered his face and exhaled in pain.
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
When did this leopard and a deer become aggrieved?
*
Because it was dark outside, I ate supper in Ji Xiaoou's house.
Everyone has their own thoughts when eating a meal.
Eric looked at the little leopard beside Ji Xiaoou from time to time, with a serious expression. Once the little leopard has any abnormal movement, he will immediately stand up and protect Ji Xiaoou tightly behind him.
Just like when he first saw the little leopard.
And if Eric wants to say something to Ji Xiaoou, the little leopard will immediately scream at Eric, showing off his pointed nails to threaten.
So Eric finished a supper with a frustrated face, holding his bloody face.
After dinner, Ji Xiaoou took the initiative to clean the dishes.
Eric did not stay for long and said goodbye and left.
Before leaving, he looked at Ji Xiaoou and Xiao Bao deeply, and wanted to say anything, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Seeing Eric off, Ji Xiaoou pointed the little leopard's head, "Taotao, how could you treat Eric like this?"
"Taotao" is called "Taotao".
Renne was too lazy to lift his eyes and would never admit this stupid name.
Ji Xiaoou didn't expect it to take care of him. Seeing that the bandage on its hind legs was broken, although he didn't know how it did it, he moved a wooden bench and sat next to the fireplace, carefully rebanding the wound for it.
The fire is burning in the fireplace, and the surroundings are warm and peaceful.
Ji Xiaoou tucked the bandage while reminding: "You should recover from your injuries this time. If your injuries continue to be tormented, even if they are cured, they will leave sequelae. It is winter now, and Eric said that there will be a blizzard in a few days, so we should stay here for a while. Taking advantage of this time, you should recover your injuries quickly."
Renne did not respond, he was thinking about another thing.
Why did he change back to the same state not long after he turned back to the beast type?
What does all this have to do with Ji Xiaoou's "space"?
After bandaging the wound, Renn lay on Ji Xiaoou's leg, patted her with a pair of flesh on the back of her hand, raised her head, and stared at her without turning around.
Trying to enter her space again.
However, Ji Xiaoou didn't know what Rennes was thinking, and just thought it was acting cute, just like treating his own cat, and gently purred its head, "Okay, you lie down here, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."
Eric's face was tickled and bleeding. Although there should be no rabies virus here, it is better to disinfect it just in case.
However, when Ji Xiaoou went to look for Eric, Eric had already fallen asleep, so she had to give up.
*
The next morning, Ji Xiaoou woke up from his sleep, and the little leopard lay on the table next to the fireplace, closing his eyes to rest.
The courtyard was silent, and Eric went out early.
Ji Xiaoou remembered that Eric said last night that he was going to the patriarch of Elk Village for a meeting and would not come back at noon.
Eric made breakfast before leaving and left some for Ji Xiaoou.
The kitchen next to Eric is a kitchen. The kitchen here is a bit similar to the kitchen in the rural areas of the 1970s and 1980s. It is made of stone bricks, hollowed out in the middle, and a huge iron pot is installed in the middle, which can make some simple dishes.
Ji Xiaoou lifted the lid of the bamboo weaving pot and saw three fluffy and golden tortillas steamed and a small plate of honey inside.
Ji Xiaoou took it out, scooped some honey with a wooden spoon and spread it on the corn cake. It tasted sweet, soft and delicious.
To fill his stomach, Ji Xiaoou took out the cereal from the space, soaked it in milk, and fed the little leopard for breakfast.
Shortly after breakfast, I heard Eric coming back from outside.
Eric had obvious scratches on both sides of his cheeks. Although it was a bit funny, he looked very happy.
"The sweet potato field behind the Elk tribe is ripe. The patriarch of the Elk tribe invited me to dig sweet potatoes in the field in the afternoon, and promised me that if there were too many harvests today, I would give me some sweet potatoes."
Because of the coming snowstorm, Eric had to stay in Elk Village for a while.
There is little food in winter, and the elk people can provide Eric with little food. If Eric wants to fill his stomach, he needs to go outside to find other ingredients.
Now there is an additional Ji Xiaoou and a little leopard, and Eric has a great task on his shoulder.
——Although he was really reluctant to feed the leopard tribe.
If they can get some sweet potatoes this time, they won’t have to worry about food for the next few days.
"Really? That's great."
Ji Xiaoou was happy for him, thinking about it, and couldn't help asking: "Eric, can I go out with you in the afternoon?"
Eric said: "The snow outside has not melted yet, and it is very difficult to walk. If you want something, just tell me, Ou, I will definitely bring it back for you."
Ji Xiaoou thought for a moment and still insisted, "I want to go out and take a look."
Before coming to Elk Village, she was in a hurry to find a place to stay and did not check it carefully.
Thinking about it now, I really want to go back and confirm it again.
*
In the afternoon, Ji Xiaoou went out with Eric.
Because he knew that the orcs here were afraid of carnivorous species, Ji Xiaoou did not take the little leopard with him and left it alone in the house.
The sweet potato field is located in the oblique rear of Elk Village, with an area of about seven or eight acres, surrounded by a circle of low fence walls.
When he arrived at the sweet potato field, Eric rolled up his sleeves and went to help with the Elk tribe.
Ji Xiaoou walked around the neighborhood.
She has two purposes for going out this time.
Although there was a fireplace burning at night here, there was ice and snow outside, and Ji Xiaoou was covered with only a thin blanket of autumn, which was still not warm enough.
If you can find cotton nearby, make a quilt and it will definitely be much warmer.
Another thing is that she has to find something to cover up the smell of heat in her body.
Women usually last for about a week. They cannot always rely on the smell of pepper and Schisandra chinensis to cover up, and they must find some other spices.
Ji Xiaoou remembers that before coming to Elk Village, he had seen plants similar to cotton on the road.
It’s a pity that I walked too fast at that time and didn’t look closely.
She followed the road back and paid close attention to the plants around her.
There are not many plants in winter, and you can see the end at a glance.
