Chapter 27 You don't need a reason to be friends
Tsukizakura rubbed her hands together to warm them up a bit, and picked up the pile of dead branches that had just been placed on the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The snow at night was quiet, only the rustle of the moon cherry blossoms as they walked, and the red moonlight shone through the clouds, casting the world a faint blood red.
"It's a red moon during this time, and it's a little unlucky. Yueying shook her head, obviously someone who didn't take this seriously.
The reason why I say this is just to liven up the atmosphere.
After walking for a while, a wide flat field appeared in front of me, and in the middle of the flat ground was a sled cart, and the white long-haired dog crouched beside the sled version, snoring. Wen Yu, who was still wearing a mask, was setting up a tent, and a fire had been formed, just waiting for Yue Ying to bring back enough firewood.
But then again, Yue Ying had never seen Wen Yu under the mask, and because he was dressed very tightly, he didn't even know if Wen Yu was a man or a woman - but Yue Ying wasn't interested.
If you don't take off the mask, I guess there's something unspeakable.
Yue Ying glanced at Wen Yu's face and placed the dead branch next to the fire.
"Is that enough?"
"Enough. Wen Yu took some fine pieces of wood, put it on a dead log, took another piece of wood and began to rub it on it.
ββ¦β¦ What are you doing?"
"Make a fire. "Wen Yu is very serious and focuses on the action of drilling wood to make a fire.
After a while, Tsukizakura scratched her head, pulled out a square stone from her inner pocket, and squeezed it through. "Trouble let's go. β
Under Wen Yu's astonished gaze, Yue Ying split the stone into two, and then rubbed each other, and the spark came out, igniting the dead wood that Wen Yu had not lit for a long time.
"What is this!"
"Flint and steel. β
This flint stone is one of the props prepared by Varus, because it is easy to carry and important, Yue Ying is carried close to him, and now it just comes in handy - he usually doesn't need to make a fire, if it weren't for Wen Yu's clumsy way of making a fire, Yue Ying might have forgotten that she still has a flint and steel hidden in her.
The flames were rising, the temperature had risen a little, and it felt very comfortable.
Yueying didn't bring anything except flying dragons and flintstones, so in terms of food, she could only rely on Wen Yu to provide it, and the things on the sled were all things that Wen Yu was going to deal with Yueying, and there were some luggage for traveling, and the food was even a day or two, God knows why Wen Yu would load so many things on his sleigh car.
"Be prepared. When Yue Ying asked, Wen Yu replied like this.
"Save some food, we don't know how many days we're going to have to go. β
"I know, I know~" The inside of the jerky soaked in hot water is still cold and hard, and it is terrible to bite into, like bamboo soaked in water. This is not a cave, there is no place to block the wind, the night wind affects the fire, and the water can't really heat up, so naturally there is no way to gnaw it.
But after a tiring day, you have to eat everything.
Although the two of them only sat on the sleigh for a day, they also fought with the undead one after another for a day, so that the number of undead killed on this day was more than the previous ones.
Because Seymour kept running in the direction of the taste, they encountered a large group of undead, and it took a lot of trouble to force them through, but fortunately, Seymour's speed was fast enough, and those undead did not have the consciousness to round up, and after kicking out the undead who wanted to climb into the sleigh, the two finally escaped into the hills.
Although the undead were still perseveringly pursuing, it was too difficult for the undead who were already slow to cross the mountains, and they walked long enough distance for the two of them to get a good night's sleep before they went.
The flames burned silently, with occasional crackling sounds, and the shadows of the two men were stretched far away, creating a monster-like shadow on the uneven snow. Wen Yu only cared about eating and didn't speak, because of the shadows, Yue Sakura couldn't see his current face clearly.
But since Wen Yu didn't want to talk, Yue Ying wouldn't be bored.
After climbing into the tent, Yueying and Wen Yu said goodnight and fell asleep back to back.
They don't need a vigil, Seymour has a keen sense of smell, and it won't be difficult for it to spot a few approaching undead in advance.
At night, the red moon was no longer visible, only a hint of reddish moonlight leaking through the cracks in the tent.
Yueying didn't sleep, the jerky he ate just now felt too obvious, and he was now like having a stone in his stomach, which was very uncomfortable.
"Hey. β
After a while, Wen Yu replied: "What's the matter?"
"You didn't sleep. β
"You didn't rest. β
"I can't sleep, and so are you. β
Yueying felt Wen Yu behind her move, and the blanket was pulled a little over.
"Today...... I'm out of shape. β
"Is there one?"
"Yes! It was because of me that the leader was seriously injured! It was because I was not calm that the leader had to fight ......!"
Seymour, who was under the sleigh, shook his ears and looked up.
"If self-blame is useful, then what do you want to do if you become stronger. β
"Are you laughing at me!"
"Do I have one?"
ββ¦β¦ That's enough. β
"Oh, go to sleep, we'll have to go tomorrow. β
Wen Yu didn't answer, but soon Yue Ying heard Wen Yu's even breathing.
In that case...... Sleep on your own.
Tsukizakura closed her eyes and forcibly ignored her rumbling stomach.
?
The next morning, Seymour's screams caused the two to jump out of their sleep - and hit each other in the back of the head.
In the forest, a white skeleton faintly appeared, and after a night, the undead had also chased after it.
The two of them did not hesitate, and directly put the saddle on Seymour, and the sled twisted and ran away.
It was a journey with no definite end, they didn't know where the bone dragon would fly, maybe it was close at hand, maybe it wouldn't be seen for a month, but Tsukizakura didn't care, because what he was looking for was not the bone dragon at all, but the ethereal cry for help - Tsukizakura was very stubborn at times, and when he really wanted to do something, ten chocobos couldn't pull it back, and he didn't even need a reason why he wanted to do it.
This is probably the willfulness of being a child.,Any child will be willful.,It's just that Yueying happens to have the power to realize this willfulness.γ
Wen Yu didn't say a word along the way, and Yue Ying also felt that it was not suitable to talk to Wen Yu now, so she focused on the activity of whack-a-mole. The hunter's long-handled hammer feels pretty good, and it feels great to smash the undead, and Tsukizakura is even addicted.
Near noon, the two stopped to rest for a while, they were very lucky, they had not encountered a relatively large group of undead along the way, and the danger level was not high. Wen Yu even untied Seymour and told him to hunt, and Seymour lived up to his expectations and brought back two small beastsβsmall but at least fresh ingredients.
"Is there any prey in this place?" Seeing that Wen Yu was in a good mood, Yue Ying casually found a topic.
"The undead do not attack creatures other than humans. Wen Yu stuck a branch into the belly of the beast and set it up next to the fire, "We don't know why. β
There is Yueying's flint, the fire quickly burned, now it is rare that the wind is not strong, the meat quickly changed color, the smell of barbecue diffused into the air, which well lured the appetite of the two, Wen Yu took out a knife, slice it down little by little, Yueying took it unceremoniously, and swallowed it in one bite.
Although it is not a delicacy, it can also make the mood much better at this time, and more importantly, it is ripe, and in this environment, hot cooked food is already rare - what kind of jerky last night, Tsukizakura doesn't want to remember.
Seymour on the side happily eats the remaining broken bones and hard to gnaw meat, with its size, it is not enough to eat such a little thing, but Seymour didn't eat much yesterday, and today it is the same spirit as yesterday, it is really pure natural pollution-free, low consumption and high durability.
No wonder hunters breed hunting dogs.
After you've eaten and drunk enough, hit the road again.
A few hours later, they arrived in a new area.
"Wow! it's so big!" sighed with squinted eyes.
In front of them, there was a super-large plain, flat, without any undulations, and there was no edge in sight. The place where Moon Sakura was before was like some fold on the edge of the plain. This is the terrain that lives up to the name of the plains, with no mountains, no hills, and boundless plains like the end of the world.
"This plain is the real base camp of the undead, the strongest undead are hovering here, and we can't please it when we enter it, it's too late for you to go back now. β
"I'm still going back when I'm here, so I'm wasting my time before. Yueying shook her head, "And if it's really like you said, you will definitely die if you go in alone, I can't watch you die." β
ββ¦β¦ I've only known you for less than three days, so why do you care so much about me?"
"Huh, if you become friends, three days is enough, right?"
"Is that so?...... You're weird. β
Now that Yue Ying has already made her choice, Wen Yu did not continue to persuade her. Seymour ran happily, and the trail left by the sleigh was soon swallowed up by the wind and snow, and in the vast plains, a sleigh was just a small black dot that was inconspicuous.
Tsukizakura hummed a song, which would be strange to others, but I was immersed in it, not caring at all if I had polluted the ears of others.
I still can't learn it.
Tsukizakura plucked out her ears, trying to make the unknown song clearer, but to no avail, the fluttering song was still intermittent, and it seemed that it was about to stop.
