Chapter 57: Turning the face is like turning the page
Looking at the rare serious face of his little niece, I don't know why, it reminded Samuel of the sister-in-law in the castle, especially those eyes, which were exactly the same as before his sister-in-law was ready to go crazy when she was young, and for a while he was a little weak and didn't dare to look at the little niece.
Gotte looked at the student who might pounce on him at any time and bite him, and when he realized that at this moment he was really afraid that the little thing would pounce on him, and when he dismantled his old bone, he couldn't help but put his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and coaxed with a slightly unnatural mouth:
"We were actually just guessing, but we didn't think we needed to scare you?"
"Don't you think I was scared enough last night?" Luna simply didn't buy it.
In her opinion, the old man in front of her knows everything, and if he calculates well, it depends on how you behave, which must not be used to.
Besides, it's the third time.
Although Luna thought that Gout should have been quite surprised by what happened to Lakun's house, she always thought that the old man had followed Lakun home so happily, and she was afraid that there were other plans, but because the two females of Laquin's family did not have a fuel-efficient lamp, and in the end it did not take shape.
"Then what do you want?" Gote raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, the student was not good at fooling the gods, making his old man feel a little upset.
"Tell me why the three-headed dog appeared, and the weasel cub, I looked at her strangely, as if it was one of the three cubs we had seen in the city. ”
Luna no longer looked at Gotte's old face that had been cultivated for thousands of years, but moved her gaze to Samuel, and sure enough, she caught a touch of emptiness.
"That little Luna......" Samuel, who felt that his little niece had seen a flaw, forced out a stiff smile.
"Uncle, let's talk about it later!" If you dare to fool me again, let's see!
Luna gritted her teeth and silently completed her thoughts, only to see Samuel blink, looking very well-behaved.
But Samuel subconsciously shrunk his neck, inexplicably felt a little cold in the back of his neck, and looked at Gote a little helplessly.
Teacher, why do I think my niece is so scary?!
Looking at Samuel, who was so uncompetitive, Gotte shook his head, and after thinking about it, he simply told Luna what had happened.
It turned out that the three-headed dog cub that was entangled in the grass was discovered by Samuel, who was patrolling the "territory", early yesterday morning.
But in view of the three-headed dog, a beast, there is revenge, and there is a bite back, Samuel did not come close.
I just went to find Gote to discuss the matter of leaving early, because the medicinal materials that almost treated the orcs in the village were nearby, so the two of them agreed before preparing to leave the next day.
And in order to delay the time, Gote also gave a sufficient amount of medicine that could make the three puppies sleep, and let Samuel stuff it into the meat and feed it to the puppy.
After eating the medicated meat, the three-headed dog cub fell asleep as expected.
Originally, according to Gote's estimation, even if the cub woke up a little earlier, without anyone to provoke them, when the effect of the medicine was completely over, they would have already packed up their line and set off a long time ago.
By the time the puppies are found by the pack, they should be at least halfway up the mountain.
But just like in countless stories, plans always can't catch up with changes, and the little weasel who followed them all the way for unknown reasons actually appeared inexplicably.
According to Gotte's guess, the little weasel, who has been wandering around the courtyard from time to time recently, is afraid that she accidentally found the three-headed dog cub, and also leaned over, and was attacked by the three-headed dog cub who had been hungry for a day as food, which stimulated the odor spray behind her tail.
The stench may not be very harmful to adult orcs, but it is fatal to wild beasts, especially their cubs.
As soon as the little three-headed dog dies, its mother will feel it, so that they will become the target of the three-headed dog group before they leave.
As for the poisoned jerky, it was indeed Gote who could keep it.
In order to prevent the three-headed dog from chasing them after searching the small yard to no avail, Gote made a few pieces of highly poisonous jerky and prepared to stay in the small yard as a follow-up.
But they never thought that in the end, this poisonous jerky would become a sharp weapon to save the lives of their group.
As for the habits of the three-headed dog, although Luna felt a little numb in her scalp when she heard it, she didn't say much, but silently remembered it in her heart, and she was now more interested in the little weasel that followed them all the way.
"Did the teacher mean that the little weasel had been following us since the city?" and that she wanted us to take her in?" was the only reason Luna could think of.
"It's not just the weasel that's following us, to be precise, it's the three wandering cubs who have followed us into the mountains. Samuel chimed in.
"Uncle mean the little male orc is here too?" Luna stood up at the thought of the little male orc, who might have been a wolfbeast.
"You're paying attention to that male wandering orc?" Luna's sudden concern made Samuel feel bad instinctively, and he instantly pulled down his face and stared at his niece.
"Huh?" Luna looked at her uncle, who suddenly changed his face, and was slightly confused, what did she say?
"Stray orcs may look pitiful, but Luna, you remember, if you want to survive as a stray orc, you have to do whatever it takes, don't you be fooled by their pitiful situation, do you hear me?"
Luna: "......"
"Answer me!Did you hear me?!"
Seeing that Luna was just looking at herself and not answering, the momentum around Samuel spread all at once, and Luna instinctively shook and subconsciously took a few steps back.
"Samuel!" Gotte grabbed Samuel before looking at Luna and said, "Your uncle is answering him for your own good, too." ”
"I hear you, uncle. Luna obediently lowered her head in response, but in the bottom of her heart, a trace of doubt rose because of her uncle's sudden and somewhat drastic behavior.
"Tell me, why are you paying attention to that little orc?" asked Gotte, who pushed Samuel back to the ground before crouching down and looking at Luna.
"I said, you can't laugh at me. Luna thought for a moment, glancing at her uncle, who was turning his face like a page, before speaking.
She knew very well that according to the status of the wolf orcs in the snow wolf country, it was extremely incredible for a stray wolf beast to appear, which was why she didn't open her mouth when she first noticed that the male orc looked a little like a wolf beast.
