The heavy snow stopped in the morning of the next day. After packing his things, Zhou Jinru made a series of preparations.
First, he hunted a few more prey for supplies.
Secondly, in order to move quickly in the snow, I used the materials I could find to make simple skis. It was not as good as regular equipment, but at least it was usable.
Finally, reseal the logging cabin before leaving. Maybe no one will visit here for many years, but it is also a good thing to help someone who is lost one day.
"hold me."
Zhou Jinru tied little Louisa and himself together with a rope. He took two difficult steps on the skis, used both arms to start skiing.
It has to be said that this uninhabited land has not seen any trace of people for many years. The snow is piled up layer by layer on the ground, and there is not much hindrance when using skis.
After walking for a while, they stopped to rest behind a hillside sheltered from the wind. Even if Zhou Jinru could continue to persist, little Louisa couldn't bear it.
"I think in another day we should be able to find the resort. We are heading in the right direction now."
Zhou Jinru opened the map, and there were traces of the old fold lines that he had filled in with his pen. Louisa came over and took a look. For a child, the difficulty was still too high, and she couldn't understand it.
"Uncle Fourth, what are you writing?"
"Write down the path we have taken to determine whether there are any pursuers behind us."
Zhou Jinru doesn't mind saying this, because as they grow older, most people will forget what happened when they were children. At most, they have a vague memory. As for what the other person looks like and what they said, it doesn't matter.
"are you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
"Then drink some water. We'll continue on our way later."
Zhou Jinru took out a water cup from his backpack. After quickly heating it, the water became drinkable.
He turned his head and saw Louisa's little hand holding a pen and drawing a cute little face on the corner of the map, with two letters next to it, Ursus writing.
"What does it mean?"
"Mom said it, but I don't know what it means either."
"Okay, come and drink some water."
Zhou Jinru didn't take it to heart. Graffiti is a kind of interest for children. It expresses their nature and there is no need to stop it.
The little girl held the water glass and took a sip.
"It seems like someone is coming, two people...little Louisa, please be quiet and hide."
Along the way, Zhou Jinru was constantly sensing emotions anytime and anywhere. He immediately noticed that someone was approaching, and it seemed that they were not Ursus soldiers. He quietly protected Louisa behind him, and looked towards the woods, only to see two people wrapped in clothes. The man in the coat came over quietly, seemingly holding a weapon in his hand.
"Hey, what do you want to do?!"
Zhou Jinru didn't know the situation, so he shouted. The two people were obviously startled, and they didn't expect that they had been discovered.
One of the taller men bent over, holding a saw-tooth dagger in one hand, his eyes flickering, and he said vaguely: "We thought there were wild beasts! There are often brown bears here!"
"Now you see it?"
Another person approached quietly from the side. Zhou Jinru pretended not to see it. After walking a few steps, the latter suddenly stopped and slowly raised the hammer in his hand. His voice was slightly trembling: "Okay, okay, listen. Come on, we just want some food, we don’t want to hurt you, and the child, do you understand what I mean, throw the food over and we’ll leave immediately!”
This week Jin Ru understood that if he was alone, these two guys planned to commit murder and robbery, but after seeing Louisa, they turned into a simple robbery.
"Because of the heavy snow, you have no food and are stranded on the road?!"
Not everyone can hunt as easily as himself. Zhou Jinru immediately guessed the other party's predicament. He thought that the two people who were transporting the people were suddenly hit by heavy snow, so they should have at least one carriage.
The tall man showed a fierce look on his face: "Stop talking nonsense! Take out the food, don't blame us for being rude!"
"I only have a few cans, and they're just sitting here."
Zhou Jinru took out the remaining four cans from his backpack and threw them three or four meters in front of him. He reached out and hugged Louisa, as if he was scared.
When the two robbers saw the can, their eyes lit up and they rushed over quickly. When the shorter robber went to get it, his vision went dark and he fell into the snow and lost consciousness.
At the same time, before the tall robber could react, a fist hit him hard on the right side of his face. His head buzzed, as if someone had yelled in his ear with a loudspeaker. His consciousness was blurred, and his face was pressed against his face. When they hit the icy snow, they realized that they had kicked an iron plate.
You are so capable, why are you pretending to be weak? !
For a moment, he felt very aggrieved. He had been hungry for two days and wanted to find something to eat. Unexpectedly, he was beaten up and his life was in danger.
Zhou Jinru put down his fist and went on a killing spree in Chernobog. His evil aura had not dissipated. At this moment, he couldn't help but want to kill these two crappy robbers.
The short man who had fallen to the ground woke up and saw Zhou Jinru holding a knife in front of him at a glance. He knew that the situation was not good. He turned around and saw his companion lying next to him, groaning. Within five meters, he, who was weak, could not do anything. Unable to dodge the knife, he had no choice but to say resignedly: "Your Excellency is so powerful. We brothers admit our defeat. Please kill us as a reward."
When this guy saw Louisa, he showed no mercy, which made Zhou Jinru feel a little less disgusted. Besides, he was still desperate because of the bad weather.
"To be honest, if you were planning to start directly, murder and rob, you would be dead by now."
Zhou Jinru slapped the short robber in the face with a knife: "Is this your first robbery?"
"...The first time, I said I can't do this."
"Where is your carriage?"
"carriage……"
The dwarf's pupils shrank slightly and he lost his voice: "How do you know?"
"This is a wilderness. There are no towns in front or behind, let alone supply stations. In the ice and snow, you can't walk very far with your legs. There is no carriage. How did you two get here?"
"What do you want to say?"
Zhou Jinru took out two hard frozen cans and placed them in front of the dwarf: "Two, I can give them to you, but your carriage has to take me a ride. Okay, we will leave. If not, I will kill you and go find it yourself." carriage."
The dwarf glanced at his companion and said with a wry smile: "It sounds like we have fallen into a trap ourselves."
He reached out and grabbed the two cans, fearing that Zhou Jinru would regret it.
It is easy to kill two people, and no one will know about leaving their bodies in the wilderness. They will soon be bitten beyond recognition by carnivorous creatures such as wild wolves.
Zhou Jinru instinctively refused to do this. These two people were different from the thugs in Chernobog, and... killing would aggravate his loss of control.
