"I'm full." Vivian wiped her mouth only after the last piece of barbecue was swallowed, and nodded gently to Hao Ren and Lily in an elegant and polite manner, "Thank you for your hospitality."
Lily stared blankly at the empty barbecue rack in front of her, and after a while she muttered: "Wow, your appetite is almost as big as mine... Do you also want to be a great eating performance artist?"
Hao Ren and Lily had similar thoughts: When did Vivian have such a huge appetite? Is it possible that she usually starves herself at home?
Vivian's face turned a little red after hearing Lily's muttering, and she explained with embarrassment: "I have been asleep for a long time...and I probably didn't eat before I fell asleep, so...so I need to eat more to supplement."
physical strength……"
"Oh, I understand," Hao Ren hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Your appetite is actually not that big. You have been eating this meal for decades. On average, what you eat every day is probably not as good as eating the wind and drinking the dew..."
Vivian felt even more embarrassed when she heard this...
The three of them had already introduced themselves and each other when they were having dinner. The dog-male-female trio, who had usually known each other for a long time, actually had to get along like three strangers in this chaotic time and space. As the only one among them,
For those who knew the truth, Hao Ren felt that this stiff atmosphere was particularly uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to find a topic after less than two seconds: "By the way, Vivian, what are your plans next?"
Vivian glanced at Hao Ren. She still didn't know the background of the two people in front of her, but the favorability gained from a meal was still sufficient. She thought that someone who was so generous to treat her to a meal would at least
He can’t be an enemy. After all, the cost is too high, so he doesn’t hide anything: “I’m a little confused now. I can’t remember many things from the past clearly. I don’t even know what era it is now and what the outside world is like...
...So I plan to first find places where humans live to collect information, and then consider how to live. Hao...Ren, since you are my friend, you should know what happened to me in the past, right? Do you have any plans before I fall asleep?
"
Hao Ren knew that this was both a question and a test, and he had already prepared the answer: "You have no plans. When did you go to bed fully prepared? I knew that before you fell asleep this time, you fought with someone in Siberia.
, I don’t know the specific situation.”
"Oh... So that's it," Vivian muttered, then raised her head, "What about you two? What are your plans?"
"I'm going to the south to find a big human city!" Lily was the first to jump up impatiently. "There are a lot of delicious food in big human cities! After I go there, I want to be a..."
Before she could finish speaking, Hao Ren pressed her down: The Husky girl's great dream doesn't need to be emphasized again and again.
Vivian frowned slightly after seeing Lily's innocent behavior: "You are so careless... Do you know what the human world is like? There are many hidden dangers there."
"Hao Ren told me!" Lily puffed out her chest proudly, "He also said that there are other alien races hidden in the human world, and there is also a guy called a demon hunter who will cause trouble for us everywhere, but I'm not afraid, I
I have lived with humans since I was a child, so I know how to pretend to be a human!"
How dare you say that to a careless guy like her who rushes out of the forest to fight with someone wearing animal ears and tail!
"Demon hunters? Are those lunatics still active around?" Vivian's face showed a hint of gloom, "They are really ghosts that linger in every era. Little werewolf, you'd better not be so confident, those gangs of demon hunters
People's noses are sharper than yours, and the smell on your body is as eye-catching to them as the moon in the night sky. If you really run into those guys, you won't be able to hide even if you know how to disguise yourself."
Lily nodded happily: "Oh, I know!"
Vivian was furious for a moment and turned to look at Hao Ren in confusion: "...Does your new friend have some... developmental problems?"
She pointed to her head with a very subtle movement.
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched: "Don't mind, she's always like this. By the way, you really can't recognize me?"
Several hours have passed since the contact with Vivian, but the other party still showed no signs of recovering his memory. This made Hao Ren couldn't help but feel anxious: in the entire regression process, he could consider and anticipate all aspects.
But only the key step of "waking up Vivian" was something that no one knew what to do. He didn't know, not even the raven outside who was "knowing things like a god", how to make Vivian
An woke up from her memory slumber? Looking at Vivian in front of him, who regarded him as a complete stranger, Hao Ren became increasingly unsure.
After hearing what he said, Vivian showed a little doubt. She took a serious look at the man in front of her: "To be honest... I feel a little familiar. I feel as if I have been with you for a long time.
And it was a very trusting and trusting relationship...but I really can’t remember it.”
The look of anticipation on Hao Ren's face quickly faded. He knew that the first half of Vivian's words were not polite, but that she had really retained some impressions, but these impressions were too superficial and could not awaken memories at all.
.
It seems that the conditions required to awaken memories are far more than just "mutual contact", and it may require a crucial medium.
Thinking of this, Hao Ren made up his mind: "Since you just woke up and your mind is not very clear, you need to rest for a few days to recuperate. We have a place to stay in the woods. Come with us."
Lily, do you have any objection?"
Hao Ren finally remembered that the hunter's cabin in the woods was still the territory of the huskies, so he quickly asked: Before, he had been the landlord and Lily as the tenant, and now he was really not used to the status reverse.
"No objection," Lily certainly wouldn't care about such details. At this time, she had been completely bribed by Hao Ren's fighting skills and a pack of spicy sticks, and she also wanted to make him her big brother, so naturally she would not raise objections.
"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to hit the road. I have to plan carefully when I go to the south. I plan to prepare food in the past few days. Can everyone rest at my place?"
Vivian looked at the two enthusiastic people in front of her and hesitated, especially towards Hao Ren: "You...should know that being with me will lead to bad luck, right? Are you sure you want to entertain me?"
She was also afraid that the "old friend" in front of her had forgotten her Tiansha Lone Star physique, so she reminded her.
"Don't worry, I'm well prepared," Hao Ren patted his chest, "I'm not even afraid of treating you to dinner, so what else should I be afraid of? Besides, in Siberia, where nothing matters,
, there is no one around us for hundreds of miles, and there is no economic system. How can we go bankrupt? It will be difficult to hunt at most, but Lily still has a whole pack of wolves."
Vivian was immediately moved when she heard Hao Ren's words, and nodded seriously: "You and I must have been friends of life and death in the past!"
Lily listened in confusion. She had no idea how risky it was to be friends with Vivian. At this moment, she opened her eyes with confusion: "What are you talking about?"
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Nothing!"
Soon, the three of them returned to the hunter's cabin deep in the jungle.
The good weather for half a day seemed to be over, and the cold wind was passing through the pine forest, making a whistling sound outside the hunter's cabin.
Lily tidied up the fire pit and prepared to light a fire. Hao Ren noticed that Vivian had been playing with a small metal object since she settled down, and couldn't help but be curious: "What is that?"
"I don't know," Vivian handed the metal object to Hao Ren, "It seems to be a weird key. This thing was on my body when I woke up, so I guess this thing should be very important, but I already thought about it.
I can’t remember what it is.”
Hao Ren took the thing and took a look, his eyes suddenly condensed.
As Vivian said, it is indeed a key, but it is not a key that can be seen in this era.
It is only a few centimeters long and a thin piece. Time, wind and frost have eroded its metal texture. Even if its owner subconsciously protects it in every possible way, the distorted time and space still makes the key appear in a severely weathered state. Its surface is covered with
There were rust and black mold spots, some parts had been worn to the point where the shape could not be seen, and the key itself had slight signs of bending, but Hao Ren still felt a strong sense of familiarity with it.
He wiped the surface of the key vigorously, and finally he could vaguely see the trademark and text under the rust.
This is the key to the home, the key to the door of the home!
Outside the hunter's hut, the wind was getting louder and louder, the snow that had been rolled up was falling down, and the wolves guarding the area began to whimper uneasily.
"Do you know what this is?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren's actions curiously. From his actions, she could tell that this man was indeed very familiar with this "key" and might even have a special feeling for it.
"This is indeed the key... the key to our home..."
"The key to 'our' house?" Vivian frowned, "Am I living with you?"
Hao Ren didn't say anything. He finally vaguely guessed what the "medium" needed to wake up the other party was.
He opened his personal space, took out an identical key, and handed the two keys to Vivian.
Vivian was still wondering what Hao Ren meant by what he said just now, and felt vaguely wary. However, when she saw the two keys, her expression suddenly froze.
Although one of the keys was weathered and worn, she could still recognize that they were originally the same.
At least Hao Ren couldn't have "forged" such a similar replica before meeting her.
The wind and snow outside the hut was about to turn into a storm, the pine forest was roaring, and even the whole world was making a low whine in the wind and snow. I don't know when the voices of the wolves had been completely silenced, and they were blown away by the sound of the wind and snow.
The roaring wind and snow were drowned, but inside the hut, the sound of the wind and snow outside seemed to be blocked by the thick curtains, making it almost inaudible.
