It took a morning to practice the lurking, and the 3 five-person group tried repeatedly under the guidance of Xu Shuo, and soon mastered the essentials, and they were so excited that they couldn't do it.

Of course, none of the other people in the hunting group have succeeded, their level is still 1, and their magic power is not enough to open the lurk, so they can only be regarded as practicing in advance.

At noon, Beru brought back a new batch of stone armor beasts from outside the village, and with the help of this batch of stone armor beasts, three more people were promoted to 3, and the total number of people in hunting group 3 reached eight. Xu Shuo asked Boru to continue to catch the stone armor beast in the afternoon, and strive to bring more back.

After lunch, the hunting group continued to practice lurking, but because the imps were becoming more and more proficient in this skill, they quickly used all the magic power in their bodies, and they were tired and lay on the ground, and the practice was forced to stop. Xu Shuo then gave them a theory class to teach them some skills-related knowledge.

Xu Shuo first explained to them some common uses of lurking, such as tracking, or throwing pebbles, knocking sticks, etc., and then showed them the "good partner" backstab of the stealth skill, which briefly explained the concept of skill combination. Later, they were shown many skills such as Shadow Blade, Stealing Blade, and sometimes Shadow Helper.

The thieves and imps listened attentively, and their eyes widened one by one, and when Xu Shuo demonstrated the new skills to them, the eyes of the imps were full of desire, they had never seen so many mysterious skills in their lives, and they couldn't imagine that the thief's vocation could use such gorgeous moves.

But then again, it's no wonder that the little ghosts don't know, in such an environment that hates thieves in the Principality of Zhulu, naturally no one will dig and spread the skills of thieves, so in the cognition of most people in the Principality of Zhulu, the thief's vocation is the lowest category of the combat vocation, and the supporting moves are nothing more than some sneaky and useless things, but I don't know that among the thieves' high-level skills, there are actually many powerful skills associated with time and space.

In short, at the end of an afternoon's teaching, the little ghosts' impression of their vocation has changed greatly, and they originally felt that their vocation was just a cumbersome little ghost, but now they are all excited, and they surround Xu Shuo to let him teach new skills.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, let's learn to steal the blade tomorrow!"

"Shadow Blade, I want to learn Shadow Blade, Brother Xu, can you teach me Shadow Blade?"

"I want to learn, Brother Xu, how long will you stay here? Can you teach us everything? ”

"Brother Xu, I feel like my magic has recovered somewhat, otherwise you can teach something now, right?"

Xu Shuo was surrounded by everyone, and he had the pleasure of being a big brother, but at the same time, he was a little big.

"Okay, okay, listen to me, it's getting dark now, let's rest today, it's almost time to get ready for dinner." Xu Shuo said.

Seeing Xu Shuo say this, the little ghosts gave up.

Before dinner, Beru brought back a batch of stone armor beasts, this time he made a board cart out of wood, and used the board cart to pull a cart of stone armor beasts back, the number was twice as many as before, so far, all fourteen members of the hunting group were promoted to 3.

After dinner, everyone rushed to the bath in high spirits, wanting to continue taking a hot bath, but found that there was a big hole in the center of the bath, which was left by the man in white when he attacked last night, and the little ghosts didn't know about it, and Xu Shuo was busy teaching during the day, and he forgot to ask Bolu to repair it.

In this way, you can't take a hot bath. Baozi has quite a dispute with this.

"Brother Xu, what did you and Sister Lilian do last night, no matter what, it's too much to puncture the bath, even if you don't care about the bath, Sister Lilian's body can't bear it, be gentle!"

"Hey, you can eat nonsense, don't talk nonsense, the hole in the bath was not made by us, I haven't settled accounts with you for the good things you kid did last night, and now you dare to talk nonsense to me, you come over to me!"

"Don't, Brother Xu, I'm wrong!"

In the end, the buns were packed up by Xu Shuo.

And after Boru heard that the bath was going to be repaired, he rolled his eyes and almost passed out, he spent the whole day catching stone armor beasts and transporting stone armor beasts, he was so tired that he finally wanted to rest at night, and suddenly he had to work overtime, who could stand this. Since following this new boss, there is no pay every day, not to mention, and the working hours are more than twelve hours, a good high-ranking soldier, but he has been called into a slave.

However, complaining can only be kept in his heart after all, and Beru doesn't want the Demon King's special envoy to come to the throne to beat him up and report him, so he still honestly starts to repair the bath.

Later that night, the snow had stopped for a long time, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the moon was exceptionally dazzling, and it was a clear night that had not been seen for a long time.

Xu Shuo suddenly got up to play before going to bed, and built a snowman in front of the north house on a whim, and as soon as he built the lower body of the snowman, Lilian and Miao Zhen, who had not seen Xu Shuo in the house, came out to look for him.

"Brother Xu Shuo, what are you doing?" Miao Zhen asked.

"I'm building a snowman." Xu Shuo replied as he rounded the snowman's lower body with his hands.

"Snowman? What is that? Lilian and Miu Zhen both looked confused.

Xu Shuo stopped his hand and said with some surprise: "The snowman is... Snowman, isn't there a habit of building a snowman in the Land of Fire? I thought that wherever it snowed, I would build a snowman. ”

Miao Zhen shook his head.

"I haven't built a snowman, we usually build snow castles."

"In my family, my father and I would use snow to pile out of the lumber mill and shop, and then use the snow to make a sand table and imagine what might happen to run the store and how to deal with it." Liliam remembered the moments of childhood play, and her eyes flashed, but the light soon dimmed again, and the fact that her father died in vain is still somewhat untrue to this day.

Xu Shuo didn't notice the change in Lilian's eyes, and said casually: "Do you use snow to simulate the operation of the store, you are really hardcore in this snow...... How about you two coming and help me build a snowman together? ”

Lilian quickly sorted out her emotions and squatted down beside Xu Shuo, "What should I do?" ”

Xu Shuo briefly explained the steps, and then the three of them worked together to build a snowman.

Lilion pushes a medium-sized snowball to make the snowman's upper body, and Miu Zhen pushes a small snowball to make the snowman's head. Xu Shuo trotted all the way into the woods on the side, and then brought back a handful of branches and two small pebbles.

After the snowman's body and head were piled up, Miao Zhen asked: "Brother Xu Shuo, is this a snowman?" But it doesn't look like a human being. ”

"Wait a minute, it's not over yet."

Xu Shuo inserted long branches on both sides of the snowman as hands, put two stones on his face as eyes, inserted a truncated branch in the middle of his face as his nose, and then carefully broke a two-finger-long branch into five branches connected only by the bark, and set the tree strips in the mouth with just the right arc, and the snowman immediately showed a smiling face.

Xu Shuo looked at the somewhat crooked snowman and nodded, "Well, it's almost, although it's a little so-so, it's also a qualified snowman." ”

"Is this the snowman?" Lilian asked.

"Well, in fact, in general, in fact, in general, the eyes should be buttoned, the nose should be carrots, and some particular families will also wear scarves for it. But now there are no such conditions, so be it. ”

"Hmm......"

Lilian thought for a moment, then took off her coat and gently draped it over the snowman's body.

"Do you want to drape it?" Xu Shuo looked at Lilian and reminded, "It may be blown away by the wind at night." ”

Lilion shook her head slightly, "It's okay, since we created it, it's our child, and we should treat it better." ”

After Lilian said this, she suddenly realized something, and her face turned red.

Xu Shuo didn't care much, just smiled and said, "In this way, then it's really lucky, it has a mother who loves it." ”

At this time, Miao Zhen on the side gently pulled Xu Shuo's sleeve, "Brother Xu Shuo, did you forget to put legs on it?" ”

"Legs? Well, the average snowman has no legs. Xu Shuo said.

But Miao was really puzzled.

"But if it doesn't have legs, won't it be able to walk?"

The snowman couldn't walk in the first place, Xu Shuo almost blurted out this sentence, it was Miao Zhen's eyes with some pity when he looked at the snowman that made him stop the car in time, he touched Miao Zhen's head, and said softly: "That's right, it's too pitiful not to walk, then give it a pair of legs." ”

Xu Shuo lay down in front of the snowman, carefully dug under the snowman with his hands, and little by little dug a hole in the center of the snowman's lower body to make the snowman look like he had two thick legs.

Pulling out his legs, Xu Shuo looked at the snowman in front of him, patted the snow on his hands, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, it looks good, I feel like you can jump up and kick me at any time." ”

"Well, so that it can go wherever it wants, and even if its parents are gone, it can look for it on its own." Miao Zhen said softly: "The body of the snowman does not need to eat, drink, not be tired, will not hurt, as long as there is perseverance, it can go anywhere, as long as it avoids the sun." ”

Hearing Miao Zhen's words, Xu Shuo and Lilian were stunned.

And Miao Zhen was still muttering.

"But what if the snowman's parents are gone, what should the snowman do, should it be better to melt it......

Miao Zhen's words made Lilian show a sad expression, she came to Miao Zhen's side, gently put her hand on Miao Zhen's shoulder, and comforted in a low voice: "No, little Miao Zhen, just endure it for a few more days, the snowman's parents must be waiting for their children, just endure it for a few more days." ”

Xu Shuo looked at Miao Zhen with a confused look in his eyes, his face gradually lost expression, and he also wanted to say a few beautiful words like "You will definitely be reunited with your parents". But he couldn't say it. After all, he only found out the address of the Blood Moon Clan, but no one can say whether Miao Zhen's parents will wait for Miao Zhen there. Presumably Miao Zhen is also a little clearer, so he can't help but worry.

What's more, Xu Shuo himself is not a snowman, he has survived in the long winter night avoiding the sun, and he can't say comforting words so easily.

After thinking about it carefully, Xu Shuo rubbed his face and said with a long breath: "It will definitely melt." ”

This sudden retort startled Liliane.

"Xu, Mr. Xu Shuo!" Lilien glanced at Xu Shuo, half puzzled and half anxious, and motioned for him not to say anything.

But Xu Shuo seemed indifferent, he looked at Miao Zhen, his eyes were like the bright and cold moonlight. Miao Zhen raised his head, the two looked at each other silently, Miao Zhen faintly understood something from Xu Shuo's eyes, and tears gleamed in his eyes.

"Brother Xu Shuo......" Miao Zhen shifted his body and buried his face in Xu Shuo's arms, his shoulders trembling slightly.

"The snowman will melt one day, this is a certain number that no one can change," Xu Shuo gently patted Miao Zhen's back with one hand, and stretched out his other hand to Lilian, who was stunned, and said: "But the snowman should not die on a winter night, I think, the snowman's life will not and should not only be winter, he must die in the warmth in the spring, after embracing the sun hotly." Even if he lost his parents, it should be. ”

Lilian looked at Xu Shuo's outstretched hand and suddenly understood what he meant.

They are all snowmen, and they should snuggle up to each other on the same cold winter night, even if they can't keep warm.

Lilien remembered her father who doted on her and her mother, who protected her by blood, and tears fell unconsciously. She didn't shake Xu Shuo's hand, but hugged Xu Shuo and Miao Zhen directly.

Winter is still long, and the three of them hug each other.
