The cold wind of the early morning swept through the forest that had just woken up,

Woke up Nock from freezing.

He threw himself a healing technique to get rid of the cold, to make sure he didn't get sick and cold.

Then he put away the sackcloth and got out of the snow pit.

"Hiss~Whew~"

Nock let out a heavy sigh, forming a white mist.

He rubbed his hands together and pulled the igloo open and pulled out Lastie, who was still sleeping.

touched Rasti's forehead and found that the child showed no signs of fever and illness.

Nock breathed a sigh of relief.

Gently shook Rasti awake and wiped Rasti's face with two balls of snow to make her completely sober,

Nock pulled out the winter coat he had prepared for Lustie.

However, Nock bought it for good looks.

After putting it on is Erasti, it is very eye-catching in the snow-white forest.

But Nock couldn't care about it so much, and his own black robe was also very conspicuous.

It's okay at night, but during the day, it's simply a target for all hunters.

So Nock took out the white linen cloth he had put away, and split it in two with a knife.

A small piece that was tied to Rasti as a cloak.

The big ones were draped by Nock.

At the very least, it can add a lot of protection color to the two of them in the snow.

All this last night, Nock and Rasti began to look for firewood nearby.

Although there is still some hot food in the space, it can only be used for emergencies.

Now that there are conditions, Nock plans to light a fire and cook a hot meal by himself.

While it's daylight, even dangerous Nok can be spotted.

If you really encounter a mortal situation, you can only summon Fiona.

But if he didn't dare to try anything, he might be trapped in this forest for the rest of winter and spring.

Nock also wanted to see if the aroma of lighting a campfire and cooking himself could attract the intelligent races or monsters of the forest.

At the very least, he could also find out the strength level of the nearby demonic beasts and assess the safety of the two of them.

Although the forest is full of white, it is not without firewood.

On the contrary, there is still a lot of firewood.

It's just that they're all covered in snow.

Nock easily found a branch covered in snow,

Even, after picking up the snow and the branches on it, dry firewood was found.

It was a decaying tree, presumably fallen to the ground, and its branches were dry and covered with snow, creating a space.

Nock got back a dry trunk and some slightly wet branches in a few clicks.

After lighting the fire, put a miniature version of the "holy coffin" on Rasti for easy movement,

After instructing Rasti to bake the fire obediently, and shouting to himself if there was any movement, Nock walked under the tree more than ten meters away,

Dig a pit under the tree, then take out last night's prey, ready to dispose of it.

It was a rabbit-like animal, half of its body had been torn open and eaten by hunters.

Half of the flesh and blood remained, and some internal organs.

The good thing is that time stands still in the storage space.

Otherwise, the stuff stinks.

In disgust, Nock removed the entrails with a knife and threw them into the pit that had been dug out.

Then he used a knife to peel off the fur of the prey and threw it into the pit as well.

Then cut off the part that had been eaten by the hunter and throw it in,

Nock got about five or six pounds of meat.

Nock wiped the blood off his flesh with snow,

Then he covered the pit under the tree, carried the processed meat, and walked towards the fire.

It's just that after only two steps, Nock's face changed.

He hurried back to Rusty's side, vigilantly watching the extra prey on the ground,

He asked Rasti, "Rasti, how did this thing come about?" ”

Rasti grinned and raised his little hand, pointed to the treetops behind Nock, and said, "Feifei threw it down." ”

Nock's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly turned to look in the direction that Rusty was pointing,

But he was stunned to see a familiar cat face.

Belch...... Well, what a familiar bird, it seems, was yesterday's snowy owl?

And, the snowy owl seems to be looking at itself?

Nock suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.

He kind of understood who threw last night's prey.

Is the snow owl a thank you gift in order to repay him?

It's just that this thank you gift is a bit fatal, and it almost made the two Nock and the others the target of the Night Hunter.

"It turned out that you guys did a good thing!"

Nock looked at the snowy owl in the treetops with its head tilted and staring at their father and daughter, and his heart was angry and amused.

Nock threaded the processed meat with a sharpened stick and roasted it on the fire.

He easily put away the newly delivered prey of the snowy owl on the ground.

"Okay, I'll accept your thank you, why should you go, don't make trouble for us anymore!"

Nock shouted to the snowy owl in the tree, and then roasted the meat in earnest.

Originally, he wanted to cook some broth, but considering that it might attract the prying eyes of other animals or magical beasts,

Nock gave up.

After all, when he really wants to run, he can put the barbecue directly into the space and run away with Rusty on his shoulder.

Anyway, the snow that fills the forest can't burn even if it leaves a fire.

Time danced a gorgeous waltz in place, allowing people to spend a quiet time without noticing.

Multiply~

The hot grease dripped onto the flames and sizzled.

The aroma fills the air nearby.

Even the snowy owl in the tree couldn't help but stare intently at the meat in Nock's hand.

Nock looked at the roast meat with golden crispy surface and tumbling grease,

Lightly sprinkle the salt and pepper in your hand and spread most of the roast meat evenly.

"Papa, meat! Meat! ”

Rasti sat in Nock's arms, reaching out to grab the roast meat in Nock's hand,

But he was caught by Nock's arm.

"Wait, wait, it's not baked yet, and the meat is hot, so you can't eat it now! Rest assured, no one will rob you. ”

Nock is really not stingy, but as early as twenty minutes ago, the aroma of this barbecue has just emerged,

Rasti couldn't wait to take a bite of it.

I didn't say anything about it when it was so hot that I bit it, and I bit it with a mouthful of blood.

But even then, she was reluctant to let go.

In the end, it was Nock who persuaded her to stop her and let go.

Nock used healing to treat her burns in distress, and at the same time stuffed her into his arms to "trap".

This was enough to fully roast the meat, and halfway through, he didn't even know how many times he had stopped Rusty's "raids".

"Alright, alright, let's drink saliva first, and then we'll eat meat!"

Nock took out a plate and placed the barbecue on the plate with sticks, covering the barbecue with a lid.

Then he took out a pot, took a stick, put it on the fire, and then took out the water bladder and poured water into the pot.

Prepare to boil some hot water to warm up.

And just when Nock was busy, he forgot about the restraint on Rasti,

Rasti slipped out of Nock's arms and crept to the plate of roasted meat.

Just as she lifted the lid from the plate and was about to pick up the roast,

Call~

A dark shadow enveloped her, and a pair of sharp claws, flashed in front of Rasti's eyes, grabbing the roast meat on the plate,

It's about to take off.

"This is my meat!"

Rasti's face changed, and he angrily reached out to grab the stick attached to the barbecue,

Then the little hand smashed into the black shadow in front of him who was snatching her flesh.

Bang!

"Gollum ——!"

The shadow let out a scream and was smashed into the snow by Rusty's punch.

Even the barbecue fell to the ground.

"Meat!" Rasti saw the barbecue fall to the ground, and put down the meat thief directly in distress.

Run towards the barbecue.

When the thief saw that Rasti's back was empty, he wanted to get up and give the two-legged beast that hurt him a paw.

But suddenly met Nock's murderous gaze, and suddenly his body stiffened, and he withdrew his claws.

Changed to wings and flapped towards Rusty.

Seeing this scene, Nock was directly angry.

He had already discovered the behavior of the snow owl flying down to grab meat,

As early as when he was roasting, he noticed that the snowy owl was attracted to his roast.

Therefore, he had already guessed that this snowy owl would definitely want to taste it,

It's just that Nock didn't guess that the other party would rob him directly, and he thought it would fly down and ask for it in person.

Seeing that the snowy owl wanted to steal the meat, Nock was supposed to stop it.

But considering that for a long time to come, he and Lusty will have to live in this forest.

Nock didn't stop the snowy owl.

Nock wanted to make Rusty realize that danger was everywhere in the forest.

It's just that Nock forgot that Rusty grew up on a desert island since he was a child, and his perception of danger,

More sensitive than Nock.

The snowy owl failed to steal meat and was defeated by Rasti instead, which was completely unexpected by Nock.

Nock also thought that the reason why Rasti was able to survive on the desert island was all due to the protection of the island owner!

Now it seems that this is not the case at all!

The power of Rasti's punch was definitely more than fifty catties.

You know, Rasti is only five years old! Although it has been well raised for two months,

But he doesn't weigh fifty pounds, but he can burst out with fifty pounds of strength,

Come to think of it, she's really a little special.

Rusty just picked up the roast meat on the snow,

The half-meter-wide wings of the snow owl flapped over and slapped the crouching Rasti into the snow.

"Ahhh My flesh! You pay for my flesh! ”

Rasti got up from the snow angrily, not caring about the snow slag on his face,

It pounced directly on the snowy owl standing in the snow.

If the meat had fallen to the ground before, Lusty would not hesitate to pick it up and eat it again.

But since she followed Nock, she remembered Papa's words, and what fell to the ground could not be eaten again.

The first time the barbecue landed, Lusty still felt that he picked it up quickly, and the barbecue should not have time to get dirty.

But the second time, her whole body was pressed on the barbecue, and the barbecue was pressed into the snow.

How to eat!

That's the barbecue that Papa has roasted for her for a long, long time, and she hasn't even eaten it!

"Bad sparrow, I'm going to wash you!"

Rasti's little short legs ran all the way through the snow, and then jumped over the snowy owl.

Fell on the snowy owl.

As one of the hunters in the forest at night, the snow owl is naturally very capable.

It flailed its wings and lifted the snow up, obscuring Rasti's vision,

Then the whole bird drilled forward, slipped out of the snow-covered area, and then flapped its wings to fly.

Unexpectedly, a white and tender little hand stretched out in the snow, and pinched the rudder of the snow owl's life,

Pulled it back into the flying snow.

"Meat thief, I just want to run now, it's too late! Say! How do you want to wash!

Is it tender soup or Feng Yao! Poof, poof! ”

Nock listened to the little girl's spitting movements, and finally understood why she suddenly lost her speech again.

It turned out that when he fell to the ground just now, he poured snow into his mouth. My teeth froze.

In the snow circle, the snow owl that was pinched by Rasti waved its wings desperately,

I wanted to break free from the little two-legged beast's grip, but I didn't want Rusty to knock it off with a brain collapse.

"Stealing something, huh! Be a bad sparrow, right? Wash you, wash you! ”

Rasti grabbed the snowy owl by the neck with one hand, brought the snowy owl in front of him, and knocked the opponent's brain frantically with the other.

The snowy owl felt a shock on its head, and for a moment, it froze.

Nock had already picked up the meat that had been thrown on the snow, and after beating it clean,

He put it next to the fire and roasted it.

The meat is not dirty, and it can still be eaten, but it is a little cold.

Nock didn't stop Rustie's birding career.

As long as the snowy owls don't move their claws and beaks, Nock doesn't bother them.

But if the snow owl dares to move its claws or move its beak to make a dirasti, Nock's gun will not hesitate to shoot the snowy owl in the head.

As for whether Lusty will get hurt, Nock is not worried.

As long as the person is not dead, he can save it.

It's a bit ruthless to do so, but in the wild, he has to make Lust aware of the danger.

This is not a holy city, it is not a desert island, and there is no Nock and the island owner to protect her.

In case in the forest, Nock encounters a strong enemy and gets separated from her.

She can at least have a little survival sense and a sense of crisis, and live until Nock finds her.

Otherwise, Nock was really worried about the days ahead.

Zila!

The roast meat is greasy again and gives off its aroma.

Nock couldn't help but reach out and try to tear off a piece, but suddenly it didn't feel right.

Hey? Why is there no sound.

"Suck!"

There was a sound of sucking saliva next to him, and Nock turned his head to look,

Suddenly I couldn't cry or laugh.

It turned out that Rasti was actually lying on the back of the snow owl, and together with the snow owl, stretched his neck,

Staring at the barbecue in Nock's hand and drooling!

But even so, this time Rasti didn't take the initiative to reach for the meat,

Don't forget to pull the head of the snowy owl that wants to steal meat.

I don't know why the two guys who were fighting hard just now suddenly turned enemies into friends.

When Nock saw this scene, he directly took out a dagger and cut off two large pieces of meat.

A piece of spiced was placed on the plate and handed to Rasti.

The other piece without any spice was placed in the snow in front of the snow owl.

It turned out that Nock had already reserved a portion for the snowy owl when he was roasting.

After all, the meat was sent by someone, and it has been following them all the time.

Nock wondered if he could try it and get the snow owl in his hands.

If they could, it would be much safer for them to move around in the forest.

Not only can the snow owl keep a vigil for them, but they can also fly above the forest to help Nok find a way out.

Otherwise, he simply could not have indulged a bird that was going to stretch its claws against Rasti alive.

The two guys who were fed by Nock were happily eating their own barbecue,

Nock poured a cup of hot water from the pot and gave it to Rasti and placed it on Rasti's hand.

Rasti was holding the roast in one hand and the water glass in the other, and as for the plate, it had been thrown under the snowy owl.

The snowy owl stomped on the hot roasted meat, lowered its head, and pecked at the roasted meat with its beak.

It smells so good!

It thinks its bird life is in vain!

Although the raw meat is also delicious, it is much worse than the cooked meat I ate today!

It wants to eat it in the future!

Nock picked up Rasti's discarded plate and poured some hot and cold water, mixing it into warm water,

Placed in front of the snowy owl.

"Drink! The barbecue is too dry for you. If you don't drink water, you'll die of thirst. ”

Nock didn't care if the snow owl understood it or not, he teased the snow owl twice, and picked up the rest of the meat himself and ate it.

Well, it tastes good, and I don't know what kind of animal meat it is.

"Huh?"

Eating and eating, Nock was suspicious.

This is not the meat of an ordinary animal, that half of a rabbit animal is actually a magical beast!

Nock felt the faint energy absorbed in his body after eating the barbecue, and was stunned.

It's not that Nok hasn't eaten Warcraft meat.

It's that he's eaten too much in the past two years and he's too familiar.

Ordinary meat doesn't contain so much energy.

Nock looked at the snowy owl in a somewhat surprised manner.

No wonder this guy is bigger than the average snowy owl, it turns out that it is out of the category of beasts.

It's a very good luck.,The kind that was splashed by the goddess of luck's footwashing water.,

It actually evolved from an ordinary beast to a magical beast!

No wonder, it was not afraid to witness the battle of those night hunters last night,

It turns out that it is the big guy who is proud of the crowd.

Nock was eating and watching the snow owl closely.

There are no obvious magic fluctuations on its body, and it looks like an ordinary snowy owl.

But it's not hard to see from its smart eyes that this guy has a little wisdom.

Also, Nock found that this guy was not only a little bigger, but also had a problem with a pair of claws.

It is estimated that it is cut down and sold to material dealers, which is also a rare material.

The snowy owl, which was eating, suddenly felt a malice, as if the two-legged beast in front of him,

I'm thinking about something rude.

"I said little thing, do you want to leave here with us, I can take care of this kind of food."

Nock is shameless, ready to abduct the ignorant single bird.

The snowy owl is a large owl bird, although unlike other owls, they are daytime.

That's one of the reasons why Nock wants to kidnap each other, if it's a night event.

Nock didn't want to kidnap it.

Of course, that's not to say that snowy owls are inactive at night.

It is only habitual to be active during the day, but at night, it is still a forest hunter.

After all, it's a Warcraft now, and its habits have changed a lot.

Otherwise, where will there be birds eating cooked food?

Faced with Nock's lure, the snowy owl was unmoved.

What could be more stupid than not working hard when you're cooking?

The snowy owl doesn't think he's stupid anyway.

If there's anything going on, I'll talk about it when it's done.

Lusty devoured the meat in his hand and burped,

Only then did he pat his swollen belly with satisfaction,

Grunt and drink the water from the cup.

"Hiccup~"

Lust burped very unladylikely, handed the cup to Nock, and asked casually:

"Papa, can I keep popsicles?"

"Popsicles?" Nock, who reached out to take the cup, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Rusty suspiciously: "Who is the popsicle?" ”

Rasti reached out and patted the snowy owl on the head and said with a smile, "It, popsicle!" ”

Nock tugged at the twitching corners of his mouth, forced himself not to laugh, and asked, "Why do you call it a popsicle?" ”

Rasti happily put her arm around the snowy owl's neck and pulled the snowy owl's face up, despite its struggles.

"Didn't Dad say that if a very old uncle can't marry an aunt, he is called a bachelor?

The popsicle is an old finch that can't find a female finch, and because it's so icy, the finches don't play with it.

So, I thought it was a good thing to call it a popsicle. ”

"And there is no one to help it barbecue the meat, so it robs our meat, so pitiful. Rasti felt that

If we raise it, it will be able to make Papa barbecue meat later. ”

Rasti's words pierced Nock's heart like a knife.

His daughter actually sold him for a bird!

"Rasti, do you know what to do with this ice ...... No one roasted the popsicle for it, so have you ever thought about it?

Daddy didn't have anyone to give me barbecue to eat! ”

Nock struggled last.

Rasti wondered, "But Papa can roast himself and eat!"

Anyway, Papa is going to give me barbecue. ”

"......" Nock suddenly felt that his daughter was not playing him.

How to leave the city, away from the crowd, my daughter is a lot more eccentric.

However, Nock was not resistant to this matter.

Originally, he wanted to take the snowy owl away.

If it really wants to follow Nock and them all the time, Nock will take it back to Reims Cathedral and raise it.

It can also be regarded as finding a playmate for his daughter and disciple Miledi.

If it doesn't want to follow, when it finds a way out of the forest, let it go.

Unexpectedly, before he could make a move, his daughter Rasti got the target bird!

"That's not right! Rasti, I listen to you, you understand the words of popsicles? ”

Rasti tilted her head, pouting, and looked at Nock suspiciously.

"Papa, don't you understand the popsicle?"

Nock's eyes widened, he looked at his innocent daughter, and shouted in his heart: I should understand!

Nock sneered, "I don't understand." ”

"Papa is stupid." Lusty complained in disgust.

Invisible disgust is the deadliest!

Nock covered his wounded heart, in order to save his tall image in his daughter's mind,

Decided to struggle a little more.

"Rasti, it's not that Dad doesn't have it, it's most people, no! is a normal human being,

I can't understand the words of the popsicle. ”

Rasti didn't know why, looked at Nock and said, "What about the kitten and puppy?" ”

Nock shook his head: "I don't understand." ”

"Where's the chick and the duckling?"

"Nope."

"What about guinea pigs and big she-dragons?"

"No, either."

"Oh, I see."

"What do you know?"

"Papa, you adults are so stupid."

Burst! Nock clutches his daughter's pierced heart and falls to the ground.

Nock, the end of the book...... After a fart, Nuo got up from the ground angrily,

Squatted in front of Rasti and told Rasti with a serious expression: "Rasti, in the future,

You can't tell anyone but Daddy, you understand the animals. Even if someone doubts you,

Don't admit it, let alone relay what the animal says. ”

Rasti put his face in his hands, lay on the back of the snow owl popsicle, and said with a puzzled expression: "Papa,

Rasti didn't understand. ”

Nock covered his teeth with a headache and sighed, "If you don't understand, forget it."

Anyway, except for Dad, you don't tell anyone that you can understand animals.

Don't talk to animals in front of others. You know? ”

"Oh~"

Rasti, who originally wanted to show off his skills, agreed to Nock in frustration.

Nock reached out and rubbed Rasti's short hair, comforting, "Okay,

Daddy just won't let you talk to animals in front of people, and when no one is around, Rasti can do whatever he wants. ”

"Is that okay?" Rasti looked at Nock with a twinkle in his eyes,

Nock nodded, if it doesn't work, it has to be done, otherwise the little ancestor will cry.

"The snowy owl in the text is a kind of magical beast, which is different from the real snowy owl. The size or something will be written bigger."
