Du Ruo couldn't remember the last time she ate fish, since she went up to Luofu Mountain and knew that there was such a thing as Bigu Dan, except for occasionally flying to the small hills not far from Luofu Mountain to pick some wild fruits to eat, she had hardly eaten much.
The fat tiger didn't know where to dig out a copper tripod, and went to the forest to find some dry wood and milky white mushrooms. A quarter of an hour later, it had set up a shelf on which a pot of mushroom and fish soup was simmering. The whole process is extremely skillful, calm as Du Ruo, and also jaw-dropping.
"Are you really just a cat?" Du Ruo asked as she sat beside the fire that Fat Tiger had just lit, and if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe that such a big cat could cook like a human being.
Fat Tiger replied to her while throwing mushrooms into the copper tripod with mana: "Of course I'm not a cat, I'm a lynx." ”
Du Ruo was dumbfounded. So much has happened in just a few days, and she needs to digest it. Her fate seems to have been revealed since the Xuangui of Yaoguang Mountain, and the previous years in Luofu Mountain were just the least important episodes. And the dream she just had, it should be Biluo's past, right? But does that have anything to do with herself? Is she Biluo's doppelganger or Biluo, or someone else? And Qingyun, he said he was going to come to her when he left, but they didn't even have an agreed place, how could he find her?
"My sister has eaten. The fat tiger didn't know where to turn out two small wooden bowls, and put them in Du Ruo's hands with his mouth. The soup was almost ready, he stretched out his paw and gently fanned it, and the pot of hot fish soup cooled in an instant, and when the small bowl containing the fish soup was placed in her hand, the temperature was just right.
"You've been like this in Luofu Mountain before?" Du Ruo gently took a sip of the fish soup in his hand, although he didn't add any seasoning, it was extremely delicious.
The fat tiger was squatting on the ground and sticking out his tongue to drink the soup carefully, and his movements were similar to those of ordinary cats, except that he was too big. He raised his eyes for a moment, and then replied to her: "No, I occasionally want to eat meat, I will catch a few fish and rabbits, and most of the time I eat wild fruits and herbs." ”
Du Ruo nodded, no wonder he also ate wild fruits when she fed him before, it turned out that he usually ate these things. But then she asked, "Where did you learn how to cook, and where did you get the pots and pans?"
Fat Tiger had already drunk the soup in his bowl, licked his mouth and said: "I learned it from my grandfather, when I was a child, he always stewed medicinal food for me to drink, and then after he soared, I sometimes learned to do it myself when I was greedy, and it will be slowly, these pots and pans are still left to me by my grandfather." "When Fat Tiger talks about Ge Xianweng, his eyes always shine.
Du Ruo touched his head and said, "So you followed me at the beginning and found that I had the breath of Ge Xian Weng on my body, right?"
Fat Tiger nodded and said, "It's not wrong, you must know your grandfather in the Heavenly Realm, I can feel it." ”
Du Ruo felt that Ge Xianweng's meaning to Fat Tiger might be like, like, she couldn't describe it, she had no relatives in Luofu Mountain for more than ten years, except for the grandma in the medicine collection village, but the relationship between the two was definitely not as good as that of Fat Tiger and Ge Xianweng. As a person who does not know her past, she feels that she is an outsider to the world.
The fat tiger washed the Danding and the wooden bowl, carefully put them away, and then went to the forest again. Du Ruo looked around, and then remembered that this forest should be the realm of the demon clan, but this place does not have a demonic aura, but gives people the illusion of a fairyland.
The fat tiger came back with a large dry tree in his mouth, and it turned out that he went to look for dry firewood. Du Ruo smiled, other people's pets are taken care of by the owner, but she is an exception, not only the pet to take care of her, but also to take care of everything.
Fat Tiger put the dry tree aside, paced to Du Ruo, and said, "Sister, you will sleep with me tonight, and I will build you a wooden house tomorrow." ”
"You still build wooden houses?" Du Ruo was shocked by the fat tiger again.
Fat Tiger sat down beside Du Ruo with a little pride in his eyes, and said slowly: "That's nature, I've lived for more than a thousand years, haven't I seen anything?"
Du Ruo leaned on the fat tiger, the furry feeling made her feel very relieved, she felt that it was not bad to live with the fat tiger by this lake like this, but this dense forest should not be as calm as it seems on the surface. "Fat Tiger, how did you find this place?"
Fat Tiger rolled his eyes, Fat Tiger is Fat Tiger, anyway, the word tiger is more pleasing. "I fled to this forest after I came out of Lake Village that day, at first this place was the territory of another monster, but I was better than him, so this place belongs to me, sister, don't worry, I can't guarantee other places, but this area is absolutely safe. When Fat Tiger said this, he was full of energy, and it was clearly the demeanor and tone of a child who was less than ten years old begging for praise.
Du Ruo hummed softly and said, "Fat Tiger, you are the most powerful cat I have ever seen." ”
"I'm a lynx!" said Fat Tiger helplessly
Du Ruo was sleepy again, the fat tiger's hair was really warm and soft, and within a moment, she fell asleep again.
A dreamless night.
On the second day, Fat Tiger really built a wooden house for Du Ruo, according to him, "If I use all my strength, all the trees in this area will be broken by me in less than half a day." ”
When the fat tiger was building the house, Du Ruo found out that he could even use the Luofu faction's carrying spells, but he was relieved to think that he had followed Ge Xian Weng around, but such a big cat was flicking his paws next to him to command the wood, no matter how he looked at it, he felt funny.
In less than half a day, the wooden house was built.
Du Ruo walked into the wooden house, and the fat tiger greeted him with a smug face, "Sister, what do you think?"
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Very good." ”
Between pitches, a month passed.
There seems to be some tacit understanding between Du Ruo and Fat Tiger, that is, no one is in a hurry to leave this forest and go out to travel. Du Ruo's catastrophe is still in the future, and she feels that this should have something to do with her past, so it's useless to be anxious. And the fat tiger, except for Ge Xianweng, its only relative in this world is probably Du Ruo, since she is not in a hurry to leave, he is not in a hurry to urge her.
Soon, winter will begin here.
The winter here is a little different from the outside world, outside, whether it is north or south, the flowers and trees will grow and wither with the change of seasons, but the trees in this forest are evergreen all year round, and even the flowers by the lake will not wither. In addition to the fact that the weather is getting colder and colder, Du Ruo really can't feel any traces of winter.
One day, Du Ruo was meditating in the house when her sister suddenly interrupted her with a hurried voice. She thought that the people of the demon clan were coming, so she hurriedly ran out of the house with the Suyue flute.
But as soon as she left the room, she was stunned. The lake in front of the hut was freezing at a rate visible to the naked eye, and after a quarter of an hour, the fat tiger tentatively probed with his paws and found that the ice on the surface of the lake was about two feet thick. And the flowers by the lake, as the lake froze, also withered and withered in a short time.
The fat tiger didn't notice this abnormality, Luofu Mountain is located in the south, and the lake water is not frozen all year round, so it rarely sees this kind of scene, and when Du Ruo came back to his senses, it had already made a small hole in the lake, which was just right for him to catch fish on the ice.
"Your strength is just right. Du Ruo said sarcastically. This month, she has learned to joke under the "grinding" of the fat tiger's chirping every day.
The fat tiger laughed, and stared straight at the ice cave, his eyes were clearly the same as the cat waiting for the mouse to come out of the hole.
Du Ruo tightened her neckline, for some reason, she felt cold on this ice, thought about it, and turned around to go back to the house to get a piece of clothing.
However, as soon as he took a step, a "click" sounded in his ears, and it was the sound of the ice surface breaking, Du Ruo was shocked, and subconsciously jumped up.
However, it was not the ice that broke under her feet.
"Roar" The fat tiger let out an angry roar, and when Du Ruo stopped in the air, he saw that the fat tiger was covered in water, and he was roaring while chasing towards a black shadow in the dense forest.
Du Ruo secretly screamed badly, and he didn't care about anything else, so he immediately pinched the trick and flew in the direction of the fat tiger.
