In the abandoned woodcutter's cabin, Zhou Jinru lit a small lamp, which he used when he was exploring the Victoria ruins in the early years. It had been nearly fifteen years ago, but he didn't expect it to still be used.

A little bit of weak light seemed insignificant in the dark night, and the windows of the hut were covered with straw in advance, so there was no need to worry about any light coming out.

At night, little Louisa became taciturn and her eyes were dull.

Zhou Jinru thought that what happened in the past two days was really terrible for a three or four-year-old child. She could still maintain her current condition, which can be said to be better than most children of the same age.

After eating, the child lay on the wooden floor covered with a coat, holding Zhou Jinru's arm tightly, because this was the only person she could rely on now.

Very warm and reassuring.

Gradually, little Louisa fell asleep.

Zhou Jinru looked at the little face whose outline could be vaguely distinguished, and wondered why Yaye was so cute when she was a child, but twenty years later she looked like an old woman.

If the little rabbit Amiya is a cute little daughter, then Yaye is the eldest daughter who grows up to be unhappy with her old father.

Zhou Jinru couldn't help but lament that he was getting old. According to his true age, he was at least a centenarian. The hundred years that passed by in a hurry, the pen of memories locked his time. He would not grow old, he could only look at the people around him.

Gradually grow old and wither.

This is why he will not stay in one place for more than seven years.

Another reason is that it is difficult to explain why seven years have not changed his appearance.

Fortunately, people in this land cannot be contacted in time. To send a letter requires traveling across thousands of mountains and rivers via messengers and pack horses. People who have settled will not leave their homes for more than ten kilometers, let alone leave the mobile city easily. Of course, they will not leave the mobile city easily.

Fa meets Mr. Four again.

Zhou Jinru met a pair of sisters who lived in different mobile cities. After they separated when they were young, they never saw each other again throughout their lives. They could only describe each other's lives and experiences through words.

The connection between them is a letter.

Time is very long in this land.

Come over overnight.

Louisa woke up from her dream again and found that there was no one around her. When she tried to get up, she found that her fourth uncle was boiling water.

I saw him put the ice and snow collected from the surroundings into a cylindrical pot, rub it gently with his fingers, and a cluster of flames shot out, and continued to heat. Not long after, a pot of steaming boiling water was ready.

In a cold environment, no matter how hot the water is, it will cool down quickly.

"Quickly, rinse your mouth and face. I'm sorry I didn't bring a toothbrush and toothpaste. Just bear with it for now."

Their breakfast is still canned, and the remaining reserves have dropped to four, and they should be able to last another day.

"It's still snowing outside and the weather hasn't improved, so we'll stay here for a while. Don't worry about food. I can hunt. I also have some salt. I also found a map. It's a bit old, but it can still be used. At least it doesn't need to be used.

I am worried that if I follow the route, I will be led into the river ditch."

Louisa didn't understand this and just nodded in confusion. She was only a child over three years old.

Zhou Jinru took out a box the length of an arm from his backpack, disassembled it in front of the little girl, and then reassembled it. A bow that looked pretty good was presented in front of her.

"I haven't used it for a long time. Let's try it. Let's go hunting. Do you want to come with us?"

"Um!"

Staying alone in the hut is not only boring, but also scary. Following Uncle Fourth might make you happier.

…

"In hunting, the most important thing is patience and meticulous observation. It may take several hours to find prey, but it only takes a moment to kill it."

Zhou Jinru squatted half-crouched and said in a serious tone.

His expression was serious and his eyes were sharp. He moved slowly in the snow, as if he was really looking for traces of prey.

Little Louisa looked in admiration. It turned out that her fourth uncle knew so much. It was really amazing.

Zhou Jinru does not rely on looking for traces to find prey. He only needs to expand his emotional perception to the limit and vaguely sense the emotional source of the prey. As for hunting, it is even simpler. He does not need a bow and arrow at all. He hits it with a mental shock and the prey falls to the ground ten times.

Seconds, if you can't catch it like this, then just find a basin and drown yourself.

Holding a bow and arrow, you can hit the target every time, and you can hunt successfully every time, which looks more bluffing.

It's not scientific, but it's magic, and it suits him very well.

"Don't move. I found a prey. Well, it should be a rabbit. The snowshoe rabbit is abundant in the Ursus Icefield. We have meat to eat today."

Louisa didn't understand, but was shocked. She didn't understand how her fourth uncle found the prey, but the fact that he could eat meat was enough to make her salivate.

"Look, the prey is out!"

Zhou Jinru shouted, and saw a white-furred rabbit jumping out of its snow nest in the vast snow, choosing a direction and running wildly, but it only had time to jump two meters away before it fell to the ground and stopped motionless.

Louisa marveled at her fourth uncle's archery skills, which were always perfect... He didn't seem to be shooting just now?

Zhou Jinru looked at the bow and arrows in his hands. He posed for a long time, and in the end he relied solely on mental shock to achieve merit. It was a bit embarrassing. He hadn't hunted for a long time and had even forgotten his fake moves.

This is like a singer lip-syncing on stage, only to realize after finishing singing that he held the microphone backwards.

"Maybe this snowshoe hare has its own ideas."

Zhou Jinru held the rabbit's ears and cut the prey's trachea with a knife. The bright red blood was sprinkled on the snow. When it was almost done, he brought snow from a distance to cover up the traces.

When he was in Rhode Island, Amiya had a strong objection to him eating rabbit meat. Not only that, she even refused to eat donkey meat.

People in Fengti can eat beef freely, so why can’t they eat rabbit meat? Amiya, you are discriminating against rabbits!

And donkeys!

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, Amiya is not born yet.

"Come on, let's go back and make half soup and half barbecue."

Zhou Jinru's idea was good, but because there was no seasoning, the soup plan was shelved, and the rabbit meat could only be used for barbecue.

As a last resort, he had to open a can of vegetables to make soup. The taste was not very good, but it was better than nothing.

In the evening, the snow became heavier, but the clouds in the sky began to thin, which meant that the heavy snowfall was about to end.

They spent the third night together, and Zhou Jinru found that no matter how beautiful the story he told, he could not resolve the sadness in little Louisa's eyes.

"Tomorrow, we will continue to leave. Maybe there will be good news when we arrive at the resort."

"Um."
