As soon as she heard that she could help, Lily enthusiastically took Hao Ren to where she lived. According to her, things must be done in the long term. If the sky fell, she would have to take the guests home for a meal first.
Besides... the fastest update
Although this silly girl who wanted to go south to look for a big city but went all the way north to Siberia was a little bit temperamental, her ability and motivation to survive in the wilderness were definitely not limited. After she left the village, she did not immerse herself in the road, but went on her way.
While walking north, I explored the "outside world" with full curiosity. I stopped and stopped along the way. When I encountered a place of interest, I would stop and play for a while before walking again. In total, it took several years.
For a werewolf girl who has lived in a secluded mountain village since she was a child, and has always suppressed her nature during her childhood, the journey of the past few years is probably the happiest days since she was born.
And she now lives with a group of Siberian wolves, and the place she lives in is of course far away from human habitation: deep in the dense pine forest, there is a cabin abandoned by a hunter. The hunter who once built this cabin has long disappeared. There was once a wolf near the pine forest.
The human settlements that had passed by had been swallowed up by the wind and snow, and now the wooden house in the forest became Lily's temporary place to stay.
The wolves had their own resting place near the wooden house. After Lily gave them an order to disperse, the group of beasts disappeared deep into the forest in the blink of an eye. Hao Ren sensed that they basically did not leave the wooden house more than two or three hundred meters.
Following the sound of the wind, you could occasionally hear the soft barking of wolves. Lily pushed open the door of the cabin and let her guests into the house.
The inside of the cabin was not as crude and dilapidated as Hao Ren imagined.
Although it looks old and shabby from the outside, it is clean and tidy inside. The several holes and cracks in the wall that leak air are tightly blocked with animal skins and rough wooden boards. The rotten beams
It has also been re-reinforced with wood. The hunter's cabin does not have an overly complicated structure. It is divided into two rooms, the inner and outer rooms, using only a thin layer of wood. The inner room is supposed to be a place for storing food and for the owner to rest. The outer room can be used to make a fire, process food, and pile up food.
A lot of debris. In the corner of the outer room, Hao Ren saw a lot of messy things: rusty axes, broken wheels, tattered furs, and even an old-fashioned shotgun, the barrel of which had been rolled up like a ball of string.
, apparently it was broken by a husky girl while practicing her hand strength.
These messy things were piled up like a hill in the corner. Most of them obviously did not look like things used by the old owner of the cabin, but more like a pile of collectibles. It seemed that some husky spirit went out to pick up things randomly.
The problem is really a historical issue.
Noticing that Hao Ren's eyes fell on the pile of debris in the corner, Lily was not embarrassed at all, but showed off proudly: "Oh, you noticed, these are all collected by me! Let me tell you
, although I rarely see people here, there are still people passing by occasionally, and they bring all kinds of strange gadgets from the human world. I let my wolves stare in the forest to see if there is anything interesting.
Just let them grab one or two things. But don’t worry, I won’t let them hurt anyone, so just give me some personal things to play with..."
As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he understood what was going on with the ambush he had encountered before: "Did the group of gray wolves plan to rob me after a long time?"
Lily scratched her hair awkwardly: "Hey..."
"I was almost robbed by a pack of wolves... How can anyone explain this?" Hao Ren felt a little dumbfounded, "So the wolves ran around and changed their formations when robbing their prey. Is this what you taught them?
"
"That's called the Art of War. Do you understand the Art of War?" Lily said with a very powerful expression on her face, "There is an old gentleman in our village who has studied. He once said that the Art of War is a very powerful thing. Back then, a man named Zhuge Liang used stones to
He almost killed an army of 100,000 in a formation, and I even borrowed a copy of the Three Kingdoms with paintings from him to read!"
As she spoke, she dug around in her clothes, and finally pulled out a thread-bound version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms that looked quite old. The worn book cover had been almost completely worn away, and it was not even possible to tell which volume it was in a set of books.
, Lily held it as a treasure: "After I learned how to read, I started pestering the old gentleman for this book. It took a long time before he lent it to me...ah!"
Hao Ren was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Lily cried sadly: "When I came out of the village in a hurry, I forgot to return it to him..."
Hao Ren: "...you just remembered?"
"Well, I have to turn around and go back after I help you find the person. Then I can sneak back to the village and return the book." The husky girl quickly put this matter aside with her natural tolerance.
When he got to the side, he said, "Let's eat something first. I'm really hungry after fighting with you..."
Then Hao Ren watched Lily skillfully use flint and withered grass to light the fire pit in the center of the wooden house. He also took out an old iron pot with pits from the inner room and put it on the fire. There was ready-made ice and snow outside the door. He took a few pieces of frozen snow.
After melting and letting it sit for a while, there was half a pot of hot water, and there were dried and frozen bacon hanging on the rafters of the hut. Lily broke them into several pieces with her bare hands and threw them into the hot pot, and then dug them out from nowhere.
Some beans and grains were poured in, and it was cooked into a pot of hot meat porridge. Finally, she ran to the back of the house and dug out two hard-frozen salmon from the snow, and melted them with the heat of the fire pit.
Put a bunch of them on an iron rod and place them on both sides of the iron pot for baking.
She was so skilled, her movements were so swift and skillful that it even gave Hao Ren a dazzling feeling.
It turns out that this domestic dog who usually just sits at home and waits for others to feed him actually has this set of skills?
"This fish was brought by a brown bear living nearby. It is very good at catching fish. I often trade it with other prey for fish," Lily said while stirring the meat porridge in the pot with a long-handled iron spoon.
While saying, "But the rarest thing here is seasonings. There is a shortage of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. There is a saltwater lake far away from here. You can get some salt from there, but other things are difficult.
So just make do with it..."
Hao Ren watched Lily preparing dinner diligently, and with a thought in his heart, he calmly took out a package of things from his pocket and handed it over: "I can't just eat yours, try this."
Lily curiously took the package of colorful-looking things, pinched its plastic packaging, and put it under her nose to smell: "Smell, what is this? Is it edible?"
"Tear it open from the gap, and what's outside is the packaging bag," Hao Ren smiled, "This thing is called spicy strips, you should like it."
Lily carefully fiddled with it for a long time before clumsily tearing open the packaging bag. Suddenly a strong and pungent smell floated into her nostrils. She pinched a spicy stick from the inside and stuffed it into her mouth, touching it slowly:
"It tastes like big gluten...woohoo...this is delicious!"
Sure enough, she and Latiao were so in tune from the beginning!
Lily was snoring while holding the bag of spicy strips. In the blink of an eye, half of the bag of snacks had been swept into her stomach, but in the end she suddenly stopped and held the remaining half of the bag of spicy strips with great treasure: "No,
I have to save the remaining half bag, this stuff can be used as a seasoning when cooked into porridge..."
Hao Ren laughed when he saw this: "Eat, eat, I have more here."
Lily looked him up and down curiously: "By the way, where did you get all these weird things? And where are the things you used to treat the wolf's injuries before? Where are they hidden? Can you do magic tricks?
?”
"This is what I'm good at." Hao Ren knew that Lily was now in the best stage of her life for cheating (in fact, she had always been good at cheating), so he didn't feel any pressure to say anything, "Just like you can become
I'm half wolf, half human and also very powerful. I can summon all kinds of things."
"Then you can become Zhuge Liang for me, the one who can set up stone formations."
Hao Ren: "...I think you didn't understand what I meant..."
"Then can you become Zhang Fei? I want to compete with him to see who is stronger!"
"There's no need to compare, let alone Zhang Fei. I don't think there is any human being in history who can twist the stone pillar at the entrance of the Temple of Athena into a propeller like you with one hand."
"What is Athena?"
Hao Ren: "...Why do you have so many questions?"
"Oh, I won't ask anymore," Lily said flatly, but turned her head around again after a few seconds, "What is the propeller?"
Hao Ren: "...Let's talk about finding someone!"
Don't go off topic casually when chatting with this husky spirit. This girl's conversational divergence is like uranium 235. Give her a neutron and she will develop a chain reaction for you! Hao Ren has been with her for three years.
Why do you keep forgetting this as you get older?
Fortunately, Lily's attention was distracted as quickly as she could recover it. Hao Ren's words still reminded her of this problem again. The husky girl shook her ears: "Oh, yes, I'll help you find someone to help you find someone. That's what you're looking for."
What kind of person is he?"
"She's almost like the two of us, not human either," Hao Ren said as he thought, "I'm not sure exactly where she is. I can only roughly guess that she's sleeping nearby, and the place where she sleeps is surrounded by large...
In such an uninhabited land, there should also be abnormalities in the natural celestial phenomena..."
As he spoke, he made a mental calculation: According to the notes, Vivian's last activity in Siberia was the battle with the angry spirit three hundred years ago, and her sleep should have happened shortly after that; on the other hand, according to him,
I understand that Lily in the real world is almost a hundred years old, and she has been active in human society for sixty or seventy years, and the "old version of Lily" in front of me has not yet come into contact with human society...
Once the two pieces of information were compiled, there was a huge time gap, at least two centuries.
why is that?
Has Vivian really been asleep for more than two hundred years? Or has Lily got her age wrong? Or in this distorted time and space, history no longer operates according to the original "ruler"?
All three situations are possible.
Lily's voice suddenly sounded: "Why are you in a daze?"
Hao Ren suddenly woke up: "Oh, cough...it's okay, it's okay, what did you say just now? Oh, yes, her deep sleep..."
"Sleeping? Is your friend a good sleeper?" Lily touched her chin, "There seems to be no suitable place to sleep in this snowy world."
"Well, I think what you understand by Shen Mu is probably not what I mean," Hao Ren wiped his forehead, "Forget it, it's a bit hard to explain this to you. I have something she used here. You can smell it.
