68. Chapter 68(1/2)
"If you dare to mention these two words again, I will let Winter slaughter the stupid deer and his tribe."
“…”
After Renn said this, he led Ji Xiaoou to move forward.
Unfortunately, his pace was too big, Ji Xiaoou was small and could not keep up. He accidentally stepped on the protruding stone on the roadside and staggered.
The rope pulled her wrist and she suddenly felt "hissing" her breath.
The rough castor rope was tightly wrapped around the wrist, leaving no gap. After a long time, the hands were hurt.
In addition, Ji Xiaoou's skin was delicate and he could not resist such rough treatment. Two red marks soon appeared, forming a sharp contrast with the whiteness around him.
Renn heard her voice and paused slightly.
Ji Xiaoou stabilized his body and looked at his back silently.
Ji Xiaoou knew that he was angry with her, so he didn't complain.
She shouldn't have left him three years ago.
Thinking about it now, there might be a better solution at that time, but they chose the most extreme one.
She thought a lot in the past three years, and the one she thought the most thoroughly was probably her feelings for Rennes.
——She likes him.
I like him saying "No" with a calm corner of his mouth;
I like him frowning and making fish soup for her clumsyly;
Like him sticking out his tongue and licking her cheeks;
Like him to kiss her;
Like him holding her on his arm and saying “This is my spouse”;
...
I like him a lot, so much that I can't hide my whole heart.
When she just returned to the real world, she closed her eyes every night and he would appear in front of her.
At that time, she thought it was guilty, but time gradually accumulated, and his figure was not only not blurred, but became clearer.
Even though he had many shortcomings, such as roughness, barbarity, cruelty, and unreasonableness, she still fell in love with him without hesitation.
So when she learned that she might be able to travel freely between the two worlds, she was always preparing for the reunion.
Even though I knew how unreasonable and dangerous this world was, I still returned here.
Because he is here.
But after I really came back, I was afraid to see him again.
This feeling is probably called homesickness.
Ji Xiaoou had thought of many scenes of them meeting again, but none of them were tied to her with a rope and treated her like a "prey".
...
Renne didn't know where to take her. After walking for more than two hours, he still had no intention of stopping.
Ji Xiaoou's legs were sore, and his wrists were worn out by the rope. He gradually felt a little aggrieved and his voice became lower and lower, "Ren, I can't walk..."
Ren seemed to have not heard it.
She raised her arm, tilted her head and rubbed her sore eyes on her shoulders, and before she knew it, she was in a coquettish tone, "Can I let me go?"
She said: "I won't run away this time..."
*
Rennes finally stopped under a cliff.
Ji Xiaoou looked up at the surroundings, surrounded by dense forests, with mountains stacked, and a stream on the left. There was nothing special about it. What did he bring her here for?
Before Ji Xiaoou could speak, Renn took her to the cave ahead.
There were many stones piled up at the entrance of the cave. Rennes raised his foot and kicked the stone aside, and walked in with Ji Xiaoou.
The cave is very spacious, much larger than ordinary caves. The ground is flat and the walls are neat. It is not like it is made of nature, but it seems to have been specially built by someone. Walking inside, there is a slightly smaller cave below, with dim light and neatly tidy.
However, these were not what surprised Ji Xiaoou.
There are neat furniture, tables, stools, cabinets, and beds in the cave...
Even the stove used for making fire is built in a proper manner in the corner.
But because it was useless for a long time, a thick layer of spider web was formed above the stove, and a huge spider was lying on it.
The spider heard the sound and moved slightly.
Ji Xiaoou subconsciously hid behind Rennes.
"Ren...Where is this?" Although he asked this, Ji Xiaoou actually had an answer in his heart.
On the bed of the small cave inside, there were two quilts she had sewn with her hands.
Ji Xiaoou couldn't tell what it felt like, and his throat was even more intense, as if he had a fish bone stuck. After being softened by vinegar, all the sourness and pain flowed into his stomach.
Rain did not answer her question, tied one end of the rope to the wall, and walked out.
After a while, he walked back with a goat.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Ji Xiaoou standing there, staring at his dark eyes and avoiding the huge spider.
Renn tied the rope too short, and she couldn't walk far. Seeing the spider climbing to her head, Ji Xiaoou's eyes quickly turned red, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.
Renn threw the goat on the ground, walked to Ji Xiaoou, and untied the rope tied to the wall without changing his face.
After the big spider met Rennes, he obediently retreated back to the corner of the spider web.
Ji Xiaoou raised his eyes, flattened the corners of his mouth and asked unbearably: "When are you going to tie me to, Renn?"
Renn's voice was light: "Until you will never run away again."
"I won't run away this time."
"Then there is no need to untie the rope."
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Rennes seemed determined not to loosen her. After saying this, he went to clean the goat's fur and internal organs.
There was dry firewood in the cave. After cleaning the goats, Renn made a fire and put the whole sheep on the fire.
The flames crackled, Ji Xiaoou thought for a while, but walked over and sat opposite Rennes.
Through the jumping Mars, Renne frowned slightly.
When Renn came back, he picked some seasoned plants, pinched wild fruits and plants in his palms with his animal claws, squeezed out the juice, and applied it to the crust of the roasted lamb.
After a while, the smell of roasted whole lamb was heard.
Ji Xiaoou had been hungry for a day after leaving, and naturally couldn't stand the scent when he smelled this fragrance. However, when he thought that all the mammals here could become humans, the roasted lamb in front of her might have been a talking orc in the last second, he gave up this idea.
Renn took out a sharp-sharpened stone knife from his waist, cut off a piece of roasted lamb, and started eating.
The rich fragrance kept floating into Ji Xiaoou's nose. Ji Xiaoou stared at her hands and thought silently that she was not hungry, not hungry at all.
...
However, her belly still betrayed her.
A loud scream came from her belly, and Ji Xiaoou's ears suddenly turned red, and his eyes looked at Renn, a little resentful and pitiful. He seemed to be complaining about why he was eating in front of her.
"Want to eat?" Ren asked without raising his eyes and crossed the bonfire.
Ji Xiaoou nodded.
Rennes' voice was low: "Come here."
Ji Xiaoou had to stand up and sit in the empty seat next to Renn again. He raised his hands in a daze and said, "You help me untie the rope, I can't eat..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Renne had already raised his arms to feed her to her mouth with a small piece of cooked meat from the top of the roasted lamb leg.
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Ji Xiaoou hesitated for a long time, but opened her mouth and bit it down, ate it in her stomach.
She thought that since this is the law of survival in this world, there will be no change in whether she eats this piece of mutton or not.
Just as she accepted Rennes, she also had to accept his lifestyle.
"I want it." After comforting myself, Ji Xiaoou eliminated a lot of obstacles, licked the oil stains on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Renn.
The pink tongue licked the plump lips, and Renn curled his eyes, closed his eyes, and took another piece of mutton.
Ji Xiaoou was very obedient when eating. When Renn fed her, she opened her mouth and chewed slowly with her cheeks, like a greedy kitten.
But the kitten had a not very big appetite. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm full."
Renn glanced at the part of the cut of the lamb leg, which was not as big as his palm.
