In the following days, it was foreseeable that it was definitely not an easy day, and the last food was lost because of Vivian's kindness, which meant that action had to be taken, looking at the vast snowflakes outside the window, Shen Yi unconsciously clenched his fists.

In the winter season, the prey that was hiding, all kinds of hunting skills, flashed in his mind one by one, and Shen Yi became silent because of this, this is his habit, when focusing on one thing, he gradually abandoned other thoughts, and just carried out the task purely.

It's just that it's hard for us to define such habits as wrong after all, because ...... Because of this habit, he missed a lot of things that he should have noticed.

Shen ...... Shen Yi ......"

"I'm sorry, Vivien, let me be quiet."

He interrupted the slightly uneasy words of the girl standing behind him, and then fell back into thought, because he had his back to Vivien, and he didn't see the worried expression on her face.

This is the first time Shen Yi has spoken to her like this? The innocent girl thought a little sadly in her heart, and the fox-eared girl who was tired of being by Shen Yi's side unconsciously distanced herself from him, because she felt that she seemed to be hated.

The reason for liking can be very simple, and the reason for hating can also be very simple, but this attitude of turning her back to herself and not even wanting to say more seems to put a boulder in her heart.

The listless Vivian hugged her tail, feeling self-pitying, and her moving eyes occasionally looked at Shen Yi's back, like an abandoned stray cat, because there seemed to be an invisible ravine between the two people suddenly.

The snow was still falling intermittently and mercilessly, but the words exchanged between Shen Yi and Vivian were getting less and less, the two had not known each other for much time after all, she could not have known his habits, and he could not have known her sensitive and fragile heart.

……

When he realized that something was wrong, it was already a few days later, it was a sunny day when the gray-white sky stopped snowing, and the snow that had accumulated for a long time seemed to be covered with a layer of white soil, and it was only when Shen Yi found that the girl who had been following him like a shadow was gone, and the uneasy feelings gradually sprouted.

"Vivien, are you there?" There was no response, the empty house seemed to have lost its former vitality, and the fox-eared girl was nowhere to be found.

Then he searched all the corners of the house and couldn't see Vivien, when did she leave? Trying to think about it, his mood unconsciously became agitated, but he didn't get any useful clues, because he didn't know when she didn't appear in his field of vision.

Maybe she's just having fun, and she's not without such a sense of happiness in her heart, but it's just ...... Even though they had not been together for a long time, he knew that Vivien was actually afraid of the cold, if not, how could she be by his side all day? At this time, she told herself that she ran out because she was playful, was she joking?

The naïve idea was shattered soon after.

"Sister Vivien ran out yesterday......"

The orc girl pointed to the exit of the village and told him that the girl was the last time Vivien gave her food, and his mood almost fell to the bottom in an instant, if I remember correctly, yesterday should have been the time when the snow fell the most, run out in that weather, what do you want to do, Vivian!

……

He had never thought that white could be so annoying, stepping on the branches, clicking, breaking sounds, the whole person had jumped out, and the scenery that swept backwards rapidly, anxious love was undoubtedly revealed from his movements, mixed with unquenchable anger.

What exactly is she angry for, is it because she ran out without consulting him beforehand, or because she didn't care about her own life, in fact, from the beginning, I knew from the beginning that the real reason for being angry was why she couldn't find her abnormality first.

Thinking back to the past few days, her desire to speak and stop, the anger in her heart was even worse, and following the traces that could not be found, he swept into the distance, and the snowflakes that kept shaking exploded like crystal.

Suddenly, his figure froze in the air, and it was...... The smell of blood, the flipped body changed direction in the air, leaning over, like a cheetah, boom, the trunk behind him that was used to borrow force fell in an instant, and in the air it flickered, a figure that had become blurred due to excessive speed.

What broke into the sight was a familiar and thin figure lying in the snow, and in an instant, the uncontrollable strong murderous aura spread out.

The blonde hair was spread out, and the familiar dress seemed to have lost its color, and in the snow was Vivien, who had lost her vitality, and under her, it was a red color, and one hand was pinching the snow-white wolf's head, the sharp teeth of which had pierced her arm, and there was a lingering snow wolf around her.

He anxiously picked up Vivien and collapsed into his arms, her slightly cold body, and then, as if asking for credit, she opened her weak eyes.

Shen ...... Shen Yi...... You see...... I've caught prey......"

"Say no more, you idiot."

“…… Hey...... I'm so sleepy...... The body is so tired......" On her pale face, the coquettish smile slowly solidified, she gradually closed her eyes, chagrin, regret and self-blame, and all kinds of feelings began to run in her heart.

"Whew~" The beast around him couldn't help but howl, Shen Yi turned his head sideways, and his cold black pupils turned to the snow wolf behind the girl, mixed with the incomparably deep black, the snow wolf's howl turned into a wail in the next second, and he turned around and ran away.

……

When he returned to the village, it was already close to evening, and in the surprised eyes of the rest of the village, Shen Yi carried the injured Vivian back to the small bamboo house, and the unknown people all showed surprised expressions when they saw Vivian's tragic state, but they took a few steps back when they touched Shen Yi's gaze.

“…… That's Vivien......"

“…… How did you hurt like this......"

“…… That human ......"

“…… Go and get the witch back......" The orcs whispered as a girl ran out.

Unfastening Vivian's clothes, he saw the shocking wound and the body that gradually became cold, he put his ear close to Vivian's chest, but heard the sound of a heartbeat that was slowly becoming weak, crossed his hands in front of the girl, took a deep breath, and then aimed at Vivian's lips.

It's just that his actions fell into the eyes of the orcs, undoubtedly blaspheming Vivien, and there was an uproar outside the house.

“…… How can this human ...... like this?"

“…… It's so shameless to do such a thing to Vivien, who is unconscious......"

“…… No, stop him ......"

Then someone rushed in.

"Get out!" He stared indifferently at the nosy man, the cold atmosphere seemed to condense even the air, and the crowd unconsciously stepped back.

Not yet, there was no response, in the quiet room, he was the only one left making a futile effort, and then the crowd of onlookers gradually separated, and an old man walked in, standing in front of Vivian and Shen Yi, a familiar gray robe.

The old man who appeared in front of him, Shen Yi was no stranger, it was an orc old man who had several faces, and the moment the old man appeared, the crowd outside the house unconsciously whispered.

“…… It's Wu Zhu ......"

However, when the old man continued to take half a step forward, he was greeted by a real killing intent, with Shen Yi as the center, as if falling into viscous air, the old man opened his eyes, as usual with a downcast look.

"I have a way to save Vivien, her condition is not good, and I am afraid it will be very dangerous if it drags on any longer."

As confirming the old man's words, Vivien had a pained expression on her face, and Shen Yi turned his gaze to her face.

"If you don't trust me, you can stay by her side and kill me if something is wrong, with your Excellency's skills, there should be no problem, it's just ...... If it drags on, I'm afraid that even the beast god will be powerless. ”

The plain words fell on his chest like a thousand powers, and his wavering will was gradually replaced by Vivien's painful expression, he looked directly into the old man's eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, and nodded: "Trouble you!" ”

The old man immediately walked up to Vivien's side, and began to slowly chant ancient hymns in his mouth, mysterious particles of light floated in the air, blurry and ancient, and a painful expression appeared on his face, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and sweat continued to seep out......

************************************************************************************************

Sitting on the steps outside the bamboo house, he could see the moon light in the bright night, perhaps because the heavy snow had stopped, the night sky was exceptionally clear, and the twinkling starlight was all over the black sky, but he could no longer distinguish the constellations in his memory.

With the help of the old man, Vivian's condition had improved, and the original pierced arm had been restored to its original appearance, and the wounds on her body had disappeared as if they had never appeared, and in such a miraculous situation, he watched the dying girl gradually regain her steady breathing.

As a price, the old man who performed this miracle seemed to be a few years older, and that should be too huge to bear.

Then the curtain of the bamboo house behind him was lifted, and the old man walked out with staggering steps, Shen Yi hurriedly stood up and held his hand, perhaps it was an illusion, the old man's thin figure didn't seem to feel any weight.

"Thank you, old man!" He thanked the old man from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for his intervention, Vivien probably wouldn't have survived, and he would have lived with this self-blame.

"Don't thank me, it's not a big deal."

"But the old gentleman's face was not convincing at all."

Hearing this, ......the old man pushed his hand away with a smile, sat on the steps, and looked at the night sky with bright eyes: "In this way, I am really old, but I am already powerless with a little complicated things, and I even want the juniors to worry about me." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to be offended, but in return, if there's anything I need to do, sir, just ask."

"Is there anything you need......" The old man muttered his words, his wrinkled eyes closed with a deep groan, but when he opened them again, Shen Yi read an incomparably fiery determination from them, accompanied by words like a bombshell in his ears: "...... If you can, please save this village......"
