60. Chapter 60(1/2)
The door was pushed open to both sides and hit the wall, making a loud sound.
...
There is no one inside the door, lonely and quiet.
Looking at the several rooms opposite, the door panels are closed, unlike anyone who has been back.
Renn stretched his brows slightly, turned to look at Winter, with a cold look, "If you dare to say these words again, you will not be able to save your life before Pat dies."
Winter touched the top of his head, "Anyway, your female is in the back mountain now, so she won't hear it..."
Renn looked at him, and the dark blue pupils seemed to be surging with storms.
Winter immediately stopped and said respectfully: "Yes, leader."
*
On this side, the back mountain is flat.
Ji Xiaoou was "thrown" out of the space, with her knees pressed on the ground, and her palms were pressed on the rough grass, making her mind disordered.
My mind was full of Winter's words just now.
Are they cheating on her?
What does it mean, Pat is not dead?
Why did Renne do this? Did he promise to help him find Pat... it was all fake?
Ji Xiaoou tightened his fingers, raised his eyes, and found that he had arrived at the flat ground in the back mountain.
The moment Renn pushed the door open, she hid in the space reflexively.
——Now, has she been "instantly moved" by space again?
Ji Xiaoou remembered the last time she was teleported in space when she was almost killed by Raulses.
Why is this time? Does it help her make a decision every time her psychology fluctuates greatly and she wants to escape something?
Ji Xiaoou's heart was in a mess.
"Hey, why are you still here?" A voice above your head called Ji Xiaoou, suddenly interrupting her thoughts.
Ji Xiaoou looked up and saw Su Chana standing in front of her with a bamboo basket on her back. Two gray hares were stuffed into the bamboo basket, and she was dragging a few palm leaves in the other hand, looking like she was rushing to the house.
Ji Xiaoou hesitated, "...what's wrong?"
Suchana pointed to the sky, and thick dark clouds hung over the valley, as if they could fall at any time. "The rainy season is coming soon, and there will be rainstorms for several days in a row. The terrain here is low, if you don't go back quickly, the rainstorm will flood you later."
Ji Xiaoou stood up with the trunk, "But I haven't said anything to Walker and the others..."
"They have been home long ago!" Suchana told the truth. As early as the sky turned dark, Walker, Joro and Selvin left. "Look, who else is lying on the ground like you, dazed... By the way, why are you lying here?"
Ji Xiaoou was silent, not telling the truth, "I went home to get things and accidentally fell down."
Su Chana curled her lips and disliked her without any concealment. "You are useless, you can fall down even when you walk." As she said, she reached out to pull her from the ground, "Before the rain has come down, you should hurry up and go back with me."
Ji Xiaoou paused slightly, and going back meant facing Rennes, but she had not yet made up her plan to face Rennes...
Ji Xiaoou looked up at the mountains in the distance. The dark clouds were rolling, the smog and haze were indeed signs of the arrival of heavy rain.
Suchana urged beside her, "Hey, are you going to leave..."
Ji Xiaoou reached out to Su Chana and nodded, "Yes."
On the way, Su Chana walked very quickly, Ji Xiaoou hurriedly followed her and returned to her doorstep in a short while.
At this time, the raindrops had fallen, hitting the ground one by one, like the ink sprinkled in the sky, outlining a chapter of thick ink.
Renn's home is at the end of the road, Suchana said goodbye to Ji Xiaoou and was about to walk home.
"Wait a minute, Su Chana." Ji Xiaoou suddenly called her, his eyes full of sincerity, "I have a question to ask you."
Suchana raised the palm leaves to cover her head. The roof of her kitchen was leaking and she was about to use this thing to repair it. "What's the problem?"
Ji Xiaoou thought: "If... I mean, if Winter deceived you something, would you be angry with him?"
Suchana was stunned and immediately became angry, "What? What did he deceive me?"
"No, no, I mean if." Ji Xiaoou waved his hand quickly, afraid that Su Chana would misunderstand, "He didn't lie to you, I'm just an example."
Su Chana calmed down and the raindrops hit the tung leaves above her head, making crisp sounds.
"It depends on what purpose he is for. If he is thinking about me, I will not care about him. If he is guilty and wants to hide anything, I will definitely be angry."
"What if he deliberately conceals the news about your family? For example, Sujira..."
"He dares to do this, I will go find another spouse immediately!"
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
...
Say goodbye to Suchana and stand at the door of Renne's house, the raindrops are getting bigger and bigger.
Ji Xiaoou raised his hand and knocked on the door, and the door was opened from inside soon.
Renne stood at the door, with a circle of mud on the edge of the thick boots, as if he had gone out to find her.
Ji Xiaoou raised his face and before he could speak, he trembled hard and then sneeze.
"Where did you go?" Ren immediately carried her into his arms, covered her head with her palm, and strode into the room.
Ji Xiaoou rubbed his nose and lowered his eyelashes, "I went to the back mountain to teach Walker and the others to study gunpowder..."
Renn said: "I went to the back mountain to find it, and Walker said you are back to get things."
When he said this, Ren stared at Ji Xiaoou, as if he wanted to see all her expressions clearly.
Ji Xiaoou restrained her emotions and climbed on Renne's shoulder, "I met Suchana on the road. Suchana said that the rainy season was coming soon, so I didn't come back to pick up things, so I accompanied her on another road. The roof of her house was leaking, and she needed to pick some tung leaves to repair the roof."
These were all guessed by Ji Xiaoou when he saw the Tongle leaves in Su Chana's hand. Su Chana did not say so much to her.
Renn's face calmed down slightly. He walked into the house, took out Ji Xiaoou's blanket from the cabinet on one side, and wrapped it around her. "Suchana is right. It will rain in the next few days. You don't have to teach them how to make gunpowder for the time being, it's best to stay at home."
Ji Xiaoou looked at him, "What about you?"
Renn: "I will lead my tribe members to hunt tomorrow."
Ji Xiaoou's hands under the blanket were cold and he had nothing to say, "Aren't you afraid of rain?"
“The rainy season has little effect on animals.”
Ji Xiaoou nodded and stopped talking.
Renn stretched out his palm to rub the raindrops on her eyelashes. When she found that her face was cold, she went to reignite the fireplace, carried her whole in her arms, sat in front of the fire, and wrapped her little hands, "Cold?" Her body was trembling slightly.
Ji Xiaoou buried his head, subconsciously hugged him and gently "um" with his nasal sound.
When Renn heard this, he simply turned into an animal form and wrapped Ji Xiaoou under his body with his limbs.
The leopard's body temperature is relatively high, and it can even reach more than 40 degrees when running, so it is no problem to warm Ji Xiaoou.
After a while, Ji Xiaoou got out of his head from under it, "Enough, Renne... Well, I'm so hot."
Renn touched her hands, and it was really not so cold, so he let her go.
Re-turned into human form, Renn asked her, "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Ji Xiaoou sat up and thought carefully, "Braised Eel."
Renn frowned, "How to do it?"
Ji Xiaoou used to see her mother cooking, and she had some impression in her mind, so she told Renn about the recipe, and finally asked expectantly: "Do you do it?"
Renne took back the "no" on his lips and changed it to: "I'll try." Then he said: "Without eel, can catfish be OK?"
Eels live only in the seas in eastern Bornia, thousands of miles away.
Ji Xiaoou paused and said regretfully: "Okay."
Renn turned and walked out the door.
Ji Xiaoou sat cross-legged beside the fireplace. Not long after, he heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen.
Renn had no research on human food at all and was not very skilled. The only way to cook was the stewed catfish soup that Ji Xiaoou wanted to drink when he was injured.
...
Sure enough, I soon saw thick smoke coming out of the chimney in the kitchen.
Instead of going to help, Ji Xiaoou walked to the cabinet on the side of the bed and took out the stone that Winter had handed her from the third floor.
The stone is still carved with patterns that Ji Xiaoou can't understand. Ji Xiaoou thought about it for a long time, but what does this mean? Now that I think about it, maybe there is no "meaning" at all.
——This is just a guise they used to deceive her.
*
Renn came out of the kitchen and walked into the bedroom, and saw the little guy standing in front of the cabinet, motionless.
When Renn saw what she was holding clearly, his face changed slightly and he lowered his voice, "What are you looking at?"
Ji Xiaoou turned around, pursed her lips, shook her head, "It's nothing, just take a look."
