When Zhou Jinru came back with the prey, the chat in the simple wooden house stopped abruptly, making him the one who ruined the scenery.
"You have time to stare at me, why don't you come and help me work."
The man carried two rabbits and threw them on the ground, adding two pieces of firewood to make the campfire burn brighter.
Dragon Girl came out: "I'm here to help you."
Her actions aroused dissatisfaction with Mostima: "This kind of trivial matter will not bother the leaders of the integration movement."
Fallen angels also often travel long distances in the wild and know how to take care of themselves.
Zhou Jinru simply ignored them. He opened the belly of the prey with a knife, carefully cleaned the internal organs, and set up a pot to boil water. He was very busy.
Tallulah asked, "Do you like this when you're alone?"
“It’s easy to have random thoughts when you’re free, but if you’re busy, you can pass the time.”
Zhou Jinru tore open the dehydrated vegetables and poured in packets of condiments. On a cold night, a steaming bowl of hot soup was better than the usual top-notch meal.
"What did you talk about before?"
"Nothing, a little bit about the past."
"About you?"
Tallulah threw the spoon into the pot hard, and she remembered something. Alina ran away with this man a few years ago, and maybe she even told him what color pajamas she liked to wear when sleeping at night.
Zhou Jinru guessed what the dragon girl was really thinking and said awkwardly: "Alina doesn't tell me everything. She rarely mentions your secrets."
The dragon girl's cheeks turned slightly red, reflecting the flickering firelight, and she said bitterly: "Yes, you are a serious person, and Alina is a qualified good friend. Mr. Fourth, when you were in Longmen twenty years ago, You hugged me and Hui Jie, now do you have any thoughts about us?"
Twenty years ago?
Mostema narrowed his eyes. At that time, Long Nu and Chen Sir were only five or six years old, and the older one was only six or seven years old. The doctor actually had thoughts about them?
Zhou Jinru gave up completely and pointed a knife at the tip of Talulah's nose: "Stop your rhetoric. Ajie's matter is the result of our attraction to each other, and we haven't reached that point yet. It's not what you said at all." , As for twenty years ago, I was a bodyguard hired by Mr. Wei, and I am loyal to my duty by hugging you!"
This matter must be made clear, otherwise Zhou Jinru can't imagine what kind of inhumane treatment he will encounter if Kelxi notices it in the future.
Tallulah snorted: "So now you have no idea about us?"
"What can I have in mind? Ajie is the apple of Mr. Wei's eye and the future of Longmen. You are the leader of the integration movement and have the dual aristocratic status of Ursus and Yan Kingdom. Don't forget in what capacity you are with us. I spoke."
Zhou Jinru's words were very rude. He could feel that there was a big difference between Tallulah now and the one he knew before. Despite the distance between the two, as the conversation deepened, this sense of strangeness was slowly diminishing.
Mostema calmly put the lid on the pot. The broth needed time, and the roast also needed time. She had plenty of time to listen to them continue to argue.
"Mr. Fourth, you are still so inhumane!"
"I'm old enough to be your grandfather!"
The dragon girl turned around and looked to the other side.
Zhou Jinru focused on the barbecue, and the three of them fell into an eerie silence for a while.
I'm tired, really tired.
He had to be extremely guarded against the sisters, and even more wary of the younger girls. This trend could not last long, because even Amiya had some unusual feelings for him.
Kelsey is better.
…
The night passed quickly. Zhou Jinru's sleep was very light. When he woke up, it was dark and quiet. Snowflakes were still falling outside the wooden house, and the snow had not stopped all night.
The road will be difficult today.
The two girls who also woke up also realized the problem.
"We can't stay here. One night's rest is enough."
Dragon Girl's stubbornness made Zhou Jinru look sideways and asked, "What are you worried about?"
"The intruders may attack at any time. We are scrambling for time. If we stay for one more day, the danger will increase. Time is not on our side!"
Mostima also nodded: "Although I don't like her, I agree with her point of view. It doesn't matter. We can still persist. Let's go."
Zhou Jinru took a deep look at Talulah and turned around to pack the supplies.
The dragon girl's answer was ambiguous, and she was obviously hiding something. She was more eager than anyone else.
The intruder has not appeared for a long time, which makes the temporarily united countries feel lazy, but the war will eventually start, and they are all in a hurry.
The three of them continued on the road, heading deeper into the forest. The temperature dropped, and the illumination provided by the light became worse. Even the sunlight at noon became almost the same as in the evening.
Mostima took out an old black lantern from somewhere. The wick emitted a faint light, firmly dispelling some of the darkness.
"The special Source Stone skills of the Letanians, they have a unique understanding of light and shadow."
The fallen angel's explanation was almost silent, and Zhou Jinru didn't bother to ask.
He stretched out his right index finger, and golden light burst out from the fingertip. The dragon girl frowned and said, "Is this the light of the defender?"
"No, I am no longer a defender. This is just a simulation."
simulation……
The dragon girl's eyes flickered.
They continued to move forward for a few more hours. As night fell, darkness enveloped the land, with only the light sources of Zhou Jinru and Mostema still providing some illumination.
After walking through the forest, which was no different from other trees, the field of vision suddenly became wider, forming a sharp contrast with the previous environment.
Zhou Jinru couldn't help but look back. The forest was pitch black, their breathing could be heard quietly, and the road ahead led to an abandoned city.
"Don't back away, you can't step back here a second time."
When Tallulah said this, Mostima glanced at her.
"That's interesting," Zhou Jinru's lips turned up, and he asked again, "Isn't it time you told us some secrets about this place?"
"I'm not lying to you. This is indeed a ruins. The treasure I mentioned is... hidden... hidden..."
Tallulah's voice seemed to have been strongly interfered with the signal, and even the expression on her face became astonished. Not only her, but also Mostima only had time to stretch out his hand, but before he could grab Zhou Jinru, who was one meter away, the two of them together Disappeared.
Yes, gone.
Zhou Jinru stood there and watched the two people disappear in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his cheek. Here, he could not sense any emotional fluctuations, and even the power of divine will was compressed on the surface of his body.
"great."
He took a step forward, only to appear five meters away. Directly in front of him was an abandoned city silent in the darkness.
