In the abandoned lumberjack's hut, Zhou Jinru lit a small lamp, which he used in his early years of exploration in the ruins of Victoria, nearly fifteen years ago, and he didn't expect it to be used.

The faint light seemed insignificant in the dark night, and the windows of the hut were covered with hay in advance, so there was no need to worry about the light coming out.

At night, little Luisa became taciturn and glazed-eyed.

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

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

It was warm and reassuring.

Gradually, little Luisa fell asleep.

Zhou Jinru looked at the little face that could vaguely distinguish the outline, and wondered why Yaye was so cute when he was a child, but he looked like an old mother twenty years later.

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

Zhou Jinru couldn't help but sigh that he was old, according to his real age, he was at least a centenarian, the hundred years of time that had passed in a hurry, the pen of memory locked his time, he would not get old, he could only watch the people around him gradually grow old and wither.

That's why he doesn't 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, the people of this land could not be contacted in time, and they had to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers by messenger and pack horse to send a letter, and the settlers would not leave their homes for more than ten kilometers, let alone leave the mobile city easily, and of course they would not be able to meet Mr. Four again.

Zhou Jinru has met a pair of sisters living in different mobile cities, who have not seen each other again in their lives since they were separated when they were young, and they can only depict each other's lives and experiences through words.

The link between them is a letter.

Time is a long time in this land.

Come overnight.

Luisa wakes up from her dream again to find no one around, and when she struggles to get up, she finds the fourth uncle boiling water.

I saw him put the ice and snow collected from the surroundings into a cylindrical pot, and with a slight rubbing of his fingers, a cluster of flames ejected out, and continued to heat, and it didn't take long for a pot of steaming boiling water to boil.

In a cold environment, even the scalding water will cool down quickly.

"Quick, rinse your mouth and wash your face, I'm sorry I didn't bring a toothbrush and toothpaste, bear with me for the time being."

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

"It's still snowing outside, the weather isn't improving, so we'll stay here for a while, don't worry about food, I'll hunt, I also have some salt, and I also found a map, it's a bit old, but it's still usable, at least don't worry about following the route and being taken into the ditch."

Luisa didn't understand this, she just nodded ignorantly, she was only a three-year-old child.

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

"I haven't used it in a long time, try it, go hunting, do you want to come with you?"

"Hmm!"

Staying alone in a hut is not only boring, but also scared, and following the fourth uncle may be happier.

……

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

Zhou Jinru half-squatted and said matter-of-factly.

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

Little Louisa looked adoring, it turned out that the fourth uncle knew so much, it was really amazing.

Zhou Jinru doesn't rely on finding traces at all 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, there is no need for a bow and arrow at all, a spiritual shock hits the past, and the prey falls to the ground for ten seconds, if you can't catch it like this, then find a basin and drown yourself.

With a bow and arrow, he can successfully hunt every time, which looks more bluffing.

It's not scientific, but it's magical, and it's very much in his way.

"Don't move, I found a prey, well, it should be a rabbit, a snow hare abundant in the Ursas ice field, we have meat to eat today."

Luisa didn't understand, but she was shocked, she didn't understand how the fourth uncle found the prey, but the fact that she could eat meat was enough to make her swallow.

"Look, the prey is out!"

Zhou Jinru shouted, only to see that in the vast snow, the white-furred rabbit jumped out of the snow nest and ran wildly in one direction, but it only had time to jump out more than two meters away, and then fell to the ground and did not move.

Luisa marveled at the archery skills of the fourth uncle, and he was ...... He didn't seem to shoot an arrow just now?

Zhou Jinru looked at the bow and arrow in his hand, he posed for a long time, and finally relied on mental impact to make meritorious service, a little embarrassing, he hadn't hunted for a long time, and he even forgot about his feints.

It's like a singer lip-synching on stage, only to find out that he took the microphone backwards after singing.

"Perhaps, this snow hare, it has its own ideas."

Zhou Jinru carried the rabbit's ears and cut the trachea of the prey with a knife, and the red blood was sprinkled in the snow, and when it was almost over, he got the snow from a little farther away to cover up the traces.

When he was in Rhode Island, Amiya had a big opinion about him eating rabbit meat, and not only that, but she didn't even agree to eat donkey meat.

Plump hoofers can eat beef generously, why can't you eat rabbit meat, Amiya, you are discriminating against rabbits!

And donkeys!

Forget it, I don't want to, Amiya hasn't been born yet.

"Let's go, let's go back, half stew, half barbecue."

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

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

By evening, the snow became heavier, but the clouds in the sky began to thin, which meant that the heavy snow was coming to an end.

They spent the third night together, and Zhou Jinru found that no matter how beautiful the story was, there was no way to resolve the sadness in little Luisa's eyes.

"Tomorrow, we'll continue our departure, maybe there will be good news when we get to the resort."

"Hmm."

Zhou Jinru was thinking about where Kelsey was and how she was now.
