23. Chapter 23 [Repair](1/2)
The other party was very high, higher than the threshold of the wooden house. When the pale yellow pupils looked at Ji Xiaoou, they leaned slightly.
At this angle, you can only see his thin chin and his facial features hidden in the backlight, ready to go.
Ji Xiaoou held his head high, and the smile on his face had not been enough to close it, and there was surprise in his black eyes.
Shaoqing asked hesitantly: "Who are you looking for?"
The black panther orc turned his eyes, but did not answer Ji Xiaoou's words, and stepped on his long legs and walked straight into the house.
The wooden house is small and can be seen at a glance. Behind the shabby wooden table is a simple bed, with many colorful "blankets" on it, and beside the bed is a beech cabinet, with several gap-cut pottery bowls and pottery jars stacked in it.
There is nothing else other than that.
Ji Xiaoou followed him without any time to stop him: "Who are you looking for?"
"Where is Renn?" The black panther orc's throat rolled, causing a cold and monotonous voice.
“…”
This is the second time Ji Xiaoou heard this name after coming to this world.
The last time was in Eric's tribe, two leopard orcs caught her without saying a word and asked her about Renn's whereabouts.
Not to mention that she doesn’t know who “Ren” is, why did this orc ask her about Ren’s whereabouts as soon as she spoke?
Could it be that... the former owner of this room was named "Ren"?
In this way, it can explain his behavior of breaking into the house as soon as he comes.
Realizing this problem, Ji Xiaoou suddenly realized and explained: "I don't know where he is... When I found this wooden house yesterday, the people inside had already left. If he was the owner of this house, I'm sorry, I occupied his house without authorization. Are you his friend? If you see him, can you help me convey it..."
The girl's soft voice kept chatting.
The black panther orc lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Xiaoou for the first time after entering the door.
Ji Xiaoou wore a loose autumn sweater, and her clothes were slightly loose and hung loosely on the girl's shoulders, like a child who stole adult clothes when he was a child.
Her hands were hidden under her sleeves, revealing only the fingertips of the white onion-like skinny fingertips, and the fingertips pinched the hem of the clothes, revealing a hint of cramping and uneasiness.
The black panther orc looked slightly raised, and passed Ji Xiaoou's pretty face. He neither admitted nor denied what she said just now.
The Black Panther Orc not only had a cold voice, but also had an unremarkable look.
His eyes fell on Ji Xiaoou, and it seemed like a chilly frost and coldness was falling beside Ji Xiaoou.
"Who are you living here?" He spoke again, straightforward.
Ji Xiaoou was slightly stunned, but thinking that this was someone else's house, he took the liberty to live in someone else's house and always had to explain, so he said, "There is no one else, I am the only one."
After a pause, I thought to myself, Taotao should not be considered a human...
The Black Panther Orc no longer spoke, but had no intention of leaving.
Ji Xiaoou stood by the door, hesitated for a moment, with his hands behind his back, "I'm sorry, I'll ask... Who are you?"
The other party paused, and Ji Xiaoou's figure was reflected in his pale yellow pupils.
After a while, there was no ups and downs: "Rulses."
After saying this, he withdrew his gaze and did not say goodbye. He turned his steps and was about to leave.
"Wait..." Ji Xiaoou hurriedly called him, stood on the steps in front of the door, and looked at him from afar, "Can I continue to live here?"
Raulses's pace did not stop and did not give Ji Xiaoou any response.
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
This person is so strange.
It appears inexplicably and leaves inexplicably...

After the Black Panther Orc left, Ji Xiaoou returned to the house and found that the little leopard was not on the bed.
After a while, it jumped into the window, squatted beside the fireplace, looking at the door with a deep expression.
Ji Xiaoou didn't take this seriously. At around 8:30 in the morning, Eric appeared at the door of the wooden house with his tools.
In addition to stone axes, stone hammers, and rattan ropes, Eric also brought a lot of other tools.
"Ou, I plan to build a small wooden house next to the wooden house and build a stove. You can cook and boil water in it, which will be much more convenient than it is now." Eric said enthusiastically.
If Ji Xiaoou had heard this yesterday, she might have been very happy, but now, she thought about it and told Eric about the black panther orc coming in the morning.
"...I'm worried that the owner of this wooden house will come back at any time. If he sees us renovating his house at will, he will definitely be angry. Forget it... Eric, thank you for your kindness. I can cook here and boil hot water." Ji Xiaoou said.
Although she did not say hello to the owner of the wooden house when she moved into this wooden house...
After hearing this, Eric's focus was obviously different from Ji Xiaoou: "Is the owner of this wooden house a leopard?"
Ji Xiaoou nodded. The man looked like a black panther. His friend Renne... should be also a leopard clan, right?
Eric was obviously frightened, and when he looked at the wooden house again, his eyes were a little wrong.
Next, he did not mention building the kitchen anymore, and began to repair the tables, doors and floors without distractions.
The table and door are not easy to repair, and the door panels all start to rot from inside, and the wood is so fragile that it breaks when touched.
Only new wooden boards can be replaced.
Eric took the stone axe and went to the forest behind to cut down trees. He was strong and raised the heavy stone axe with his arms, and in a short while he cut seven or eight pieces of wood.
Ji Xiaoou watched from the side, but couldn't help, so he picked up the broken branches falling from the ground and took them back to burn the fire to keep warm.
Eric compared the size of the door frame and the tabletop, and made two square and flat wooden boards one morning.
At this time, there was no paneling machine, so it was impossible to splice several wooden boards together without any trace. Eric used the easiest method to connect several wooden boards with ropes. Four grooves were chiseled around one of the wooden boards to fit together with the four legs of the table; the other wooden board was made of two mortise and tenon structures and installed on the door frame.
I tried it separately, and they were all very solid.
I had the tortillas brought by Eric for lunch.
Ji Xiaoou couldn't take out the baking, gas tank and aluminum pot in front of Eric, and there was no stove here... Of course, even if there were, she might not be able to use it.
After lunch, Eric began to repair the wooden boards.
There are two holes in the wood board, one under the bed board and the other next to the fireplace.
The loophole under the bed was small, and in less than an hour, Eric replaced the new wood and repaired it without any trace.
As for the other place... Eric looked at the little leopard lying next to the loophole, not knowing whether he was asleep or not, and he was still motionless.
"Cough..." Eric stood far away and coughed carefully.
He didn't dare to move forward, and he didn't dare to say a word to tell it to move...especially after he saw Renne's true face.
But Renn didn't lie down and didn't even give him one of his eyes.

Renne was thinking about something else.
Yesterday he was locked in the space by Ji Xiaoou again, and as he expected, the feeling of fatigue came again.
Not long after, he fell into a coma.
However, unlike what was expected, he did not return to adulthood this time.
——The wound on the hind leg healed quickly.
Although the orcs are strong in body, they are not as Ji Xiaoou guessed, and they have the ability to heal themselves in a short period of time.
So the root of all this comes from Ji Xiaoou's space.
Renn observed yesterday that there were many fresh ingredients in the space, meat, fish, fruits and vegetables.
If it's not wrong, the ingredients inside should have been stored for a long time.
The reason why these things do not rot or deteriorate is that the time flows very slowly.
It was not still, Rennes could feel that time was flowing through it at a very slow speed.
So, what is the inevitable connection between all this and his body becoming bigger and his wound healing?
Since meeting that guy Raulses this morning, Rennes can't wait to turn back as soon as possible.
As for why Raulses appears here...
The answer is not difficult.
Either Rhodes or Dordo.
These two men must have guessed something and told Raulses.
That is to say, one of them has obeyed Raulses—
Raulses became the new leader of the leopard tribe.
Renn's tongue pressed against the root of his teeth, revealing his sharp teeth, and his eyes were dark.
Eric happened to meet his expression, thinking that he had messed with him, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly retreated.
With a "bang", the table was knocked over and overturned to the ground with the person and the table.
To be continued...
