9. Chapter 09
The wind and snow were blocked outside the cave, and the temperature suddenly rose a little, but Ji Xiaoou began to feel chills all over.
Ji Xiaoou's eyes drooped and landed on the deerskin animal coat on the other party's body, and his heart shrank slightly.
After a closer look, the deer skin was shriveled and old, not like it was just peeled off, and I felt a little relieved.
It seems that Eric hasn't met him yet.
In the 21st century, Ji Xiaoou often saw the news that "humans were in danger in the forest and were eaten alive by brown bears". The picture was cruel and quite bloody.
At that time, she thought she was far away from her, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn so soon.
I wonder if brown bears evolved into orcs, are there any differences in likes and dislikes? Will they judge right and wrong?
Is it too late for her to lie down and pretend to be dead now?
Ji Xiaoou stared at the brown bear orc, took a step back without a trace, and quickly analyzed the situation.
The only exit was blocked by the other party. She only had a Swiss army knife in her hand. Although there was a leopard behind her, she was underage. If the other party wanted to attack them, the two of them had no chance of winning.
Realizing this cruel reality, Ji Xiaoou felt even heavier.
"That..." Ji Xiaoou tried to talk to the other party. As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw him bent down his huge body and walked into the tree hole without anyone.
Ji Xiaoou quickly retreated, his whole body pressed against the trunk behind him, giving way to him.
The trunk of this tree is thick and looks like a hundred years old. The space inside the hole is relatively wide. It is more than enough to accommodate Ji Xiaoou, Eric and a little leopard just now.
Now that the bear walked into the tree hole, the inside suddenly became much narrower.
The brown bear orc occupied almost half of the tree hole. As soon as he sat down, Ji Xiaoou and Ren were squeezed into the corner.
Ji Xiaoou remembered Eric's words. The tree cave was desolate. When they first came in, the temperature was very low. At first glance, they looked like there was no living creature.
Look at the brown bear orc, half-sided, leaning against the tree trunk, it seems that it is not very familiar with this place.
Ji Xiaoou felt a glimmer of hope. Since this is not his territory, maybe they can communicate well?
Ji Xiaoou was thinking about how to speak, and calmly for convenience, he ordered with a low and thick voice: "Go out."
Ji Xiaoou: "..."
Although she knew that bears were solitary animals, especially when hibernating, she did not want anyone to disturb her.
But they found this place first. Can he explain some reason?
Ji Xiaoou took a deep breath, tried to lighten his tone, and discussed: "The snow outside is very heavy, and there seems to be no other hiding place nearby. If you don't mind, we can stay here together for the time being and wait for the snow to be slightly smaller..."
The brown bear's dark eyes looked at Ji Xiaoou. I don't know if it was because Xiong was born like this or was not satisfied with Ji Xiaoou's words, but there was no expression on his face anyway.
"My friend went out to find firewood and will be back soon. We will be warmer after the fire is available. Do you need to keep warm..."
Before Ji Xiaoou could finish his words, the brown bear orc let out an impatient roar, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, "Go out."
Ji Xiaoou's hand holding the little leopard trembled, and his other hand held the backpack tightly. Although he was very scared, he still didn't listen to him.
Now it’s wind and snow outside, and you can’t walk at all. It’s no different from going out at this time than dying.
She clenched her lower lip and saw that the other party seemed to have no intention of eating her. She gritted the bullet and asked, "My friend is still outside. Can we wait until he leaves? He will be back soon."
Before the other party could refuse, she quickly brought the knitted blanket on her body to him, "Are you cold? I'll give this to you, it's very warm to cover her body." She tried hard to restrain her emotions, but when she said the last sentence, her voice still trembled a little.
This time the brown bear didn't say anything, and looked up and down the blanket.
Seeing that there was something happening, Ji Xiaoou took out a box of Dove chocolate from his backpack, "Do you eat this? This one is very high in calories, and you won't be hungry after eating it."
The brown bear orc still looked at her and didn't answer.
Ji Xiaoou continued to work hard, took out other things one after another, trying to please the other party.
When I got the milk and jerky, my wrist was suddenly pressed down by a small animal claw.
Ji Xiaoou lowered his head and saw the little leopard looking at him.
Ji Xiaoou was slightly stunned and soon realized that it was stopping it.
...Is it protecting food?
Ji Xiaoou had to put the milk and jerky back, and fumbled for a long time, and touched a glass jar with his fingertips.
She was delighted and immediately took the thing out of the space and carefully pushed it to the brown bear orc, "Do you... like honey?"
The brown bear orc looked at the glass jar, and the crystal clear honey filled the jar, the color was tempting, and before it was opened, you could smell the sweet smell inside.
This time the orc did not refuse. He took the thick bear paw and included the honey in his own scope.
Seeing that he accepted it, Ji Xiaoou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I put the things I just took back into my "backpack" and sat back silently back in the corner, thanking the classmate who brought the honey.
The brown bear orcs did not ask them to go out again. They opened the honey pot with their inflexible palms, dipped their index fingers into their mouths and tasted them.
After a while, I finished eating a whole jar, covered the honey jar and started to sleep.
Since this female wants to stay, let her stay.
I don’t know when this snow will fall. Although he has just filled his stomach, he will still be hungry after a long time.
Leave her behind and serve as a reserve of food.
*
The snow outside did not stop, and some cold winds poured in from time to time.
Eric went out for two hours and never came back.
Ji Xiaoou became more and more worried, fearing that something unexpected happened to him. However, at this time she could no longer go out. The entrance of the cave was blocked by a blizzard, and the snow covered her knees. Even if she went out, she could not walk in the snow without the powerful limbs of the animals.
The pointer on the watch passed by little by little. At six o'clock, it was getting dark and Eric still didn't come back.
Ji Xiaoou fed some food to the little leopard, but he had no appetite and didn't eat anything.
There was no fire in the tree hole, and it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see anything clearly. Ji Xiaoou had to turn on the flashlight to light it, and the beam of light shot towards the brown bear lying quietly on the opposite side, seeing its outline clearly.
The brown bear orc looked like he was asleep, his huge body lay on the ground, rising high like a mountain.
He has been sleeping since he had eaten honey. Is he ready to hibernate?
Ji Xiaoou dared not sleep, for fear that the brown bear orc on the opposite side would wake up suddenly, which would be detrimental to him and the little leopard; he was also afraid that what would happen outside, so he just got into the sleeping bag and kept vigilant at all times.
However, after she came to this continent, she had developed the habit of going to bed early.
After just under two hours of perseverance, I fought with my eyelids and my head was bit by bit, so I was so sleepy.
Ji Xiaoou pinched her tiger's mouth hard and forced herself to cheer up. Unfortunately, the effect was not great. Soon, her eyes slowly closed and fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning, the tree holes were quiet and the wind and snow outside decreased slightly.
In the darkness, the brown bear orc sat up slowly, and his dark eyes looked at the girl in the corner and walked towards her.
Ji Xiaoou was lying on the ground with her backpack in her arms, curled up in a ball.
Although there was a layer of blanket on the ground and a sleeping bag wrapped around it, it still couldn't resist the chill.
The brown bear orc stopped in front of the girl and reached out. The wide bear paw exposed its sharp nails and looked towards the girl-
Without warning, the leopard in the girl's arms suddenly opened her eyes, and her deep pupils flashed with a cold light, staring at him straight.
The leopard tribe's vision is accurate and can clearly see objects in the darkness.
Renn looked at the bear in front of him, which was many times larger than him, with a fierce look in his eyes, and he did not retreat or shrink, with a hint of warning.
The brown bear orc paused his hand, and slowly retreated back to his territory for a while.
The next morning, the blizzard was much smaller than yesterday.
Ji Xiaoou got out of his sleeping bag and looked around. After a while, he realized where this was.
The opposite was empty, the hibernating brown bear orc was gone, and Eric still did not come back.
The little leopard lay on her pillow, her eyes closed, and was still sleeping.
Ji Xiaoou sat up gently, subconsciously touched her side, ready to take her MCM backpack.
This was a habit she formed after she came here. The small backpack seemed to have become her dependence. No matter when she got up, the first thing she did was to find her backpack.
However, at this moment, she felt empty.
Ji Xiaoou was stunned and suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
She searched the tree hole inside and outside, but still couldn't see the backpack.
