44. Chapter 44
After leaving Rennes' house, Orlin did not return to his residence directly.
Instead, he went to the elder Sujira's house under the pretext of visiting Suchana.
Sujila just finished feeding her daughter Suchana a bowl of porridge. Suchana was injured in her throat and neck and could only eat these liquid foods.
Sujira was about to go to the kitchen to wash dishes, but Olin stood at the door and called him: "Elder."
Sujira looked back and Olin walked into the yard with some restraint, smiling and said, "I came to visit Suchana. I don't know how her injury is healing?"
The females rescued from the Sabertoothed Tiger Clan are more timid than the other. Olin suddenly offered to visit Suchana, which surprised Sujira.
However, her daughter is cheerful and has a good relationship with her tribe members. Sujira didn't think much and said, "Sorry, Suchana just went to bed. When she wakes up, I will convey this feeling for you."
Olin nodded regretfully and should have said goodbye and left, but he did not move for a long time. "By the way... Elder, I have one more thing."
Sujira asked, “What’s the matter?”
Olin's eyes drooped, staring at the ants under her feet, and slowly said, "I heard that the leader Rennes was also injured. I just went to visit him. There seemed to be a female living in his yard, which didn't look like our leopard tribe..."
"Oh, you say she." Sujira said calmly, as if she had answered this question many times, "She is the female brought back by the leader Rennes from outside, the leader's savior, and is indeed not the same race as us."
Olin was stunned. When she heard the first half of Sujira's sentence, she thought Ji Xiaoou was rescued by Rennes, just like him. Unexpectedly, she saved Rennes's life?
Leader Rennes is such a powerful male...and also needs female rescue?
Olin came back from surprise, adjusted her expression, and said, "Then will she stay in the Leopard Clan in the future?"
Sujira said, "It should be." He knew that the female had escaped two or three times and was caught by Rennes.
Renn was so precious to her, how could he let her leave?
Olin pursed her lower lip without a trace, as if she was confused, "But... don't all the females in the clan live in the back street? Will her living with Chief Rennes cause dissatisfaction among other clans?"
After all, leopard females are scarce, and having their own exclusive female is something that every male dreams of.
Sujila pondered for a while.
"And, she doesn't seem to be very good at taking care of people... When I went to see Chief Rennes, she was cooking porridge and almost burned the kitchen..." Olin saw Sujira's shaken and smiled kindly: "There is an empty room where Curris and I live. If she moves in, we can teach her how to make food. I'm very good at this."
Sujira only seemed to realize the problem after Olin left.
Renn never proposed to share Ji Xiaoou with his tribe members. Does he want to monopolize the female?
With Renn's ability... it's not impossible.
However, the rules of the Leopard Clan have been like this for hundreds of years. Once it is disrupted, the balance in the entire clan will be broken.
At that time, the male-economic ratio will become more unbalanced, and even reproduction will become a problem.
Sujira couldn't watch this happen.
*
Since Ji Xiaoou almost burned the kitchen last time, she never dared to use the stove here again. At noon, she took out the air tank, aluminum pot and some ingredients from the space, steamed the pot of rice with existing ingredients, made two stews, one West Lake beef soup, and put it in a pottery bowl, and brought it into the house.
The wounds in other parts of Renne's body were almost healed, but the gauze was still wrapped in the left arm, which was not very convenient to move.
Ji Xiaoou handed a pair of chopsticks to Renn and asked worriedly: "Do you know how to use chopsticks?"
Renn did not answer, looked down at a black leaf in the bowl and asked, "What is this?"
Ji Xiaoou said: "Keep, it is good for your wounds."
Their carnivorous species only eat meat all year round and do not eat vegetables at all, so their nutrition is definitely unbalanced. Ji Xiaoou thought about it, so he kindly helped Renne pick up some and put it in his bowl, "Eat more."
Ji Xiaoou thought about the first time he saw this kind of food, so he explained every ingredient to him, "Don't just eat meat, it's better for the health of eating some vegetables."
Renne raised his eyebrows slightly, not saying anything.
He did not tell Ji Xiaoou that carnivorous species occasionally eat some plants that can help digest the stomach.
But they are definitely not as wide as humans. These plants that grow in water and buried underground can be excavated and eaten by them.
After dinner, Rennes packed up the tableware and took it to the kitchen.
The girl underestimated his appetite. Two dishes and one soup were just an appetizer for him. Most of them were vegetarian and they didn’t feel full after eating them.
While Ji Xiaoou was having lunch break, Ren turned into a beast-shaped body and went to the back mountain of the tribe. He quickly captured a Tibetan antelope, cut his caesarean section, had a full meal, and left the antelope's corpse in the corner of the back mountain.
Before going back, Renne washed away the bloody smell on his body.
That little guy was timid and sensitive. If he knew that he had just hunted a herbivorous body, he would definitely be panicked again.
Renn returned to the house, unexpectedly, Ji Xiaoou did not have a lunch break.
In front of the fireplace, Ji Xiaoou was holding his backpack in his hand, looking for something.
Hearing the footsteps, she raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, and her eyebrows were furrowed, "Ren, have you touched my backpack?"
Renn paused slightly as he stepped into the threshold, and then asked quietly: "What?"
Ji Xiaoou turned his backpack upside down, and all the things inside fell to the ground, flashlights, telescopes, Swiss army knives, notebooks and pens... but the map she drew before was not seen.
"I have a piece of paper in my bag, such paper." She opened the book and showed it to Renn. "You have seen important things on it?"
Ren's calmness was completely different from Ji Xiaoou's anxiousness. "How important?"
"..." Ji Xiaoou choked, of course she couldn't tell him that it was an important path for her to leave the Kamuda Valley, so she said: "It's very important."
Renn had guessed what she was looking for, and the little guy thought he didn't even know what the map was.
He sat at the table and said calmly: "I haven't seen it before."
The person who kneaded Ji Xiaoou's map into a ball yesterday and threw it into the fireplace was not like him.
When Ji Xiaoou heard this, he pursed his lips, looking like he was about to cry but not crying, and he looked so sad and depressed.
The compass is broken and the map is gone. Could it be that she can only rely on Rennes to help her find Pat?
Ji Xiaoou looked at Renn, "Then, your tribe Winter...has he found Pat's whereabouts?"
Renn calmly said: "Even if Winter is very fast, it is impossible to go back and forth from eastern Bornia within three days."
"..." Ji Xiaoou asked again: "When will Winter come back? If he finds Pat, will he bring him back together?"
Renn said: "Maybe."
He did not tell Ji Xiaoou that the group of turtles had no fixed place in the East China Sea, and whether they could find it was a problem.
Just when Ji Xiaoou was feeling sad, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.
Renn went to open the door, and outside it was a male leopard, named Wilbur, who was the neighbor of the elder Sujira.
"Captain Rennes, the elder wants to ask you to come over if you have something to do. I wonder if you are convenient for you now?"
Renn asked: "What's wrong with Sujira?"
Wilbur: "I don't know very well... it seems to be very anxious."
Renne didn't ask again, Sujira often talked to him about race.
Before leaving, Renn called Ji Xiaoou to the front and pinched her tender face, "Don't think about running around, wait for me to come back."
In front of outsiders, Ji Xiaoou felt a little embarrassed, patted his hand away, and muttered, "...I understand."
After Renn left, Ji Xiaoou returned to the house and continued to look for the map she drew.
I searched all the possible places, but there was still nothing. I accidentally found her book about her menstrual period.
Ji Xiaoou has the habit of recording menstrual dates every month. Even when she comes to this world, she maintains this habit.
When Ji Xiaoou saw her record last month, her eyes fell on the red fonts marked on the "ovulation period". When she remembered something, she suddenly froze.
——If you are not wrong, these few days are her ovulation period?
Ji Xiaoou couldn't help but tremble when she remembered the situation when she was hunted by Holden during the ovulation period last time.
That time, it was because Holden's hull hit the reef that she escaped. How should she hide in the Leopard Clan this time?
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoou quickly closed the doors and windows, took out some of the remaining catnip from the space, and added some rich spices to make simple sachets and hung them on his waist. Even so, Ji Xiaoou was still worried. He searched for the space and finally found a bottle of whipped oil essence. He applied all over his body to a little relieved.
In this way, no one should smell the "estrus" smell on her body, right?
After thinking about it, I felt melancholy again. Even if I escaped the "estrus period", what should I do next for my aunt?
Her only two packs of sanitary tampons were used up last time. Do you really need to use wood ash?
Ji Xiaoou had to temporarily put the map behind and concentrate on how to solve the upcoming aunt.
After a while, there was another knock on the door outside.
Ji Xiaoou thought it was Renn who came back, and after confirming that the smell of the wind oil on his body had not dissipated, he walked over and opened the door.
However, it was not Renn who stood outside the door, but the leopard male just now.
