Chapter 6: The Wolf
Vondolph happily went home with the money.
When I opened the door, I saw three hairnuts busy with their daily work.
Little Mao Luo is nimble, climbing up and down to clean.
The long-haired raper is a master and cleans up the livestock living area.
The big hairy carrot with the greatest strength went to the river to wash clothes.
She held a basket of clothes in her right hand, with a wooden mallet and washboard pressed on it, and stretched out her left hand to pick up the ice.
"I'll do it."
"Master?"
In the confusion of the big hair, Feng Dolph picked up the pickaxe: "Together." ”
Ordinary work, Master Feng Dolph will not take a hand.
But washing clothes is too dangerous.
There are only four people in the family, and the labor force is already small, so Master Feng Daofu doesn't want to see Da Mao Luo have an accident.
The master spoke, and the big hairy lady obediently obeyed.
Feng Dolph carried a pickaxe and pulled out the horse with the most cheap expression yesterday: "You like to roll your lips, right, I'll call you Big Tooth in the future." ”
"Big Tooth, take you out for a walk and cultivate the feelings of our brothers."
As he spoke, Vondolph casually put on the pack horse gear for Big Tooth.
Molar:?
"Look at this big tooth, I like to eat the most, my stomach is round, and it's about to stick to the ground, so I can't go on like this!"
Feng Dolph snatched a basket of clothes from Da Maoluo's hand and mounted it on the pack horse gear.
Molar:??
"It's a bit unbalanced, and it's definitely uncomfortable to walk around."
Feng Dolph put the pickaxe and other bits and pieces on the other side of the pack horse gear: "If you don't like it, just say it, if you don't speak, I'll take you as a default." ”
Molar:???
One of the cows glanced at it, and the grass fell from its mouth in shock.
......
The two of them went out together.
Da Mao Luo followed behind, and her blue-gray eyes reflected the back of the boy leading the horse and walking in front.
She couldn't help but say, "Master, I'll carry it myself." ”
Feng Daofu said: "Don't get me wrong, this is to train the big tooth as a war horse. ”
"But Big Tooth is just pulling the horse."
"A horse can also have the heart of a war horse! Big Tooth, are you right? ”
Big Tooth's nostrils fluttered and he sneezed loudly.
"You see, it's all right."
"But the horse sneezes, as if he feels uncomfortable?"
"Huh?"
Vondolph checked and found that the pack horse gear had not been installed.
With the assistance of the large hair, it is readjusted into place.
"Big Tooth, it's the first time for your master, it's a little handy, and it hurts you, sorry to understand."
"It's okay if you don't understand, you'll have to follow me in the future."
Big Tooth: I may not be human, but you are......
Vondolph, of course, knew he was talking nonsense.
The breed of Big Tooth resembles the Icelandic horse.
This is a medium-sized horse with an average height of about 120~150 cm and a weight between 350 kg and 450 kg.
It is similar to the prairie horse, but it is much more stocky and has a pronounced round belly.
Big Tooth is not a fat house, born with a beer belly, no way.
But it doesn't affect Feng Daofu's nonsense to appease Da Maoluo's heart.
Compared to girls, big teeth are a fart!
Molar:?
Of course, it should be appeased or appeased.
Vondolph stroked the long mane of Big Tooth and pulled out the fingers of the terrifying Homo erectus.
The big teeth that touched instantly forgot the bitterness just now, and the steady pace similar to the Icelandic horse was a little slippery, almost rolling its eyes than scissor hands.
Feng Daofu said: "The finger flexibility bonus given by the one-handed specialty is really useful. ”
But it's also a good evolution of the fingers of the terrifying Homo erectus.
The Tyrannosaurus rex, which is more than 20,000 pounds, folds one finger of the erect ape with two hands, and it can't fold it.
With the blessing of the specialty, Feng Dolph's fingers can be called the terrifying Homo erectus of the terrifying Homo erectus!
Looking at the cool appearance of the big tooth, Master Feng Daofu saw the hope of the completion of the happy machine of the cow and horse.
"Big Tooth, your good days are still ahead...... What are you blushing for? ”
"Hmm......"
Da Mao Luo covered her face and did not speak.
......
After walking for a while, Vondolph saw a frozen river.
Feng Dolph let out a large cloud of white qi and carefully observed the surroundings.
A long pebble bank of the river is home to large mosses, some green and yellow, others silvery-white.
On the other side of the river is a coniferous forest, with more than a dozen meters of cloud shirts and pine trees towering into the sky, almost blocking out the sun, and the winding forest paths seem to have no end.
There was no sound of water, no birdsong, so quiet that only the whisper of the wind remained.
"It's like an elf who leads the way to hell with the sound of a harp." ”
"What's the story?"
Vondolph looked down at the footprints.
On the soft mud floor, the footprints are as clear as black letters on white paper.
There are a few clear heart-shaped footprints that begin at the river.
Vondolph tilted his head sideways, and the heart-shaped footprint turned into a plum blossom print again.
"When I was a child, I heard from my hostess that there was an elf in the forest, and she played the piano so melodiously that a traveler who heard the music might accidentally sink into the bottom of the forest lake in the direction of the music."
Big Mao Luo looks like she is telling a horror story.
"How can the lake sink when it's frozen?"
Vondolph nodded, confirming that a few deer had once arrived, apparently trying to drink from the river, and had finally burrowed into the dense taiga.
Now the rivers are frozen, and I don't know if they have drunk it.
In the winter in the north, how do animals drink water?
Big Maoluo's face turned red: "That's the story told in the summer." ”
"I also heard the story of another charcoal burner who, when he went into the forest to look for wood, met a mysterious elf with the ability to charm people's hearts."
"The elf has long blond hair, almost identical to a human, except for a cow's tail."
"As long as the charcoal burner gives her enough respect, the elves will help guard the fire at night when they are resting."
"It is said that as soon as you marry her, her oxtail will automatically fall off and become a truly beautiful woman!"
Big Mao Luo said that the hand danced.
"I probably know who told you this story."
Vondolph found other tracks, but they were not very clear, they could be arctic foxes or martens.
These small animals are too lightweight, and they are not like the protruding hooves of deer, leaving imprints that are too light to be distinguished.
He glanced at the pea-sized ball of dung.
If you have enough experience, you can tell the difference from the feces...... Ha, if you put it in the old dialect, this will be tongue-twisting.
Call~
The cold wind blew an unpleasant dampness.
Feng Daofu glanced at the sky: "It's going to rain." ”
"Let's speed things up."
Together with Big Wool, he took down the basket and tools from Big Tooth.
Vondolph took the pickaxe and tested the ice first.
It's not thick, but walking up at his weight and doing some moderate-intensity exercise shouldn't be a big problem.
Vondolph walked in front, followed behind by Big Woolly with a basket.
The small bubbles in the ice are large and small, one after another, like strings of pearls embedded in water.
Vondolph also faintly saw some animals in the woods.
Probably knowing that Homo erectus was going to cut the ice, the animals were ready to rub a wave to drink water.
Washing clothes is one of the reasons why these animals are dangerous.
And then there's the river itself.
The river is frozen, and the ice must be chiseled open before water is lifted out or clothes soaked in it.
It's not easy to get water on the ice.
Even if it is soaked inside, the sweater is unusually heavy after soaking in water.
If you accidentally fall into it, even if you are lucky enough not to drown and climb out, it is very easy to catch a cold and fever.
With current medical conditions, a small cold can also kill you.
If you are safe and sound, you can wash your clothes with soap and wooden mallets smoothly, and you have to walk hundreds of meters with a basket of dozens of pounds to bring back to the house to dry.
It's tiring to think about.
It is for various reasons, plus that drying is too wasteful of firewood, and ordinary families will not wash their clothes unless necessary in winter.
But the most important thing for the blacksmith family is heating, and because of the nature of the work, the dust is particularly large, and the demand for cleaning is even stronger, and washing clothes is just needed.
In the past, when male slave laborers were not dead, this work had to be done by male slave laborers.
Now only three hairs can come.
Da Mao Luo is not afraid of difficulties, brave like a simple person, has gone from singing a charming banshee to a nightmare that disturbs people's sleep at night.
For the first time, Vondolph knew she could say that.
Maybe it's time to keep a sense of distance?
Da Mao Luo said too engrossedly, was pulled away a little far, hurriedly quickened the pace, and shouted coquettishly: "Wait for me, master~"
Master Vondolph shook his head.
"You're not afraid of me, every hair is my important asset!"
With a shout in his heart, Vondolph rounded his pickaxe.
Click!
Ice chips are scattered.
At first, I didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of slipping my feet and cracking the ice.
After becoming proficient, Feng Daofu dared to use 7 percent of his strength to smash at a point like a sledgehammer.
After a while, Feng Dolph suddenly felt a little thirsty.
He expertly pulled out the sac and took a sip of ale.
A rich malty aroma and bitterness emanate in the mouth.
After a while, my stomach began to warm up, and my whole body flowed like a hot flow.
Dopamine secretion accelerates, and neurons become active.
Feng Daofu's pupils dilated slightly, and the hot air that came out of Ha expanded significantly, and his whole body entered a state of excitement.
"Activate Drinking Buff: Within 1 hour, Strength +1, Damage +10%"
Vondolph doesn't like to drink.
But the bonus is just too fragrant.
Moreover, the degree of malt wine is not high, about 3~4 degrees.
It's a little higher than pineapple beer, and it tastes like a drink.
Feng Daofu glanced at the big hair: "Come a little?" ”
Big Mao Luo was surprised: "Is it okay?" ”
Vondolph handed her the wine bag.
The big hairy ravels squinted their eyes when they drank.
Well, who doesn't like drinks.
In just the right physical condition, Vondolph clenched his pickaxe.
The 12 points of strength after the bonus make him feel like he can hold up the whole world in a handstand.
"Drink!"
Feng Dolph burst out, and the pickaxe sank heavily into the ice, and the depth of the chisel was half as deep as it was just now, almost piercing through the ice!
"Kinetic chain training is underway, +2 for both hands"
Feng Daofu exerted his strength with both hands, and the long handle shook up and down twice, and then rounded it again.
"Drink!"
Click!
In less than ten seconds, Feng Daofu chiseled an irregular round hole.
The big hairy lady who watched was dumbfounded.
"Bring the clothes."
Vondolph stretched out his hand.
"I'll do it."
The big hairy lady shook her head.
Feng Daofu didn't bother to say anything, and as soon as he made a move, he made Da Mao Luo blush and surrender.
After taking the clothes, Feng Daofu half-squatted, stretched out his arms and grabbed the clothes and soaked them in the water.
The water was cold, but it was still within Vondolph's tolerance.
The marine penalty of -10% is equivalent to being born with good water nature, born fisherman, and passing the diving certificate once.
The Winter Penalty of -30% is equivalent to the Vikings among the Vikings, and Vondolph is now strong in frost resistance.
Regard ice water as nothing, and more than a dozen catties of trendy clothes can be lifted with one hand.
This shocked Da Mao Luo again: "It's amazing." ”
"People and people's physical abilities cannot be generalized."
Feng Dolph handed her the soaked clothes: "You can wash the rest." ”
The master just wanted to keep the little maid from having an accident, and he didn't really wrap it up.
Feng Daofu raised a maid for use, not to be used as an ancestor.
As we all know, P Society players are passive and adaptive, which can seamlessly connect with the mentality of the aristocratic lord.
Some people can even switch to the priest mentality!
Feng Dolph can't be a priest, but he thinks he can fool more than a priest.
So in the big hairy Luo asked, "Master, why are you so good to us?" ”
Vondolph said, "Because it can only be good for you." ”
It's not good for your own property, so what's good for it?
But the big hairy lady misunderstood.
Her face was red, and she struck her clothes with a lot of force with her mallet.
Feng Dolph was about to take the opportunity to brush up his favorability when he suddenly heard a series of dog barking.
"Woohoo!"
Vondolph turned his head sharply, and faintly saw some dark shadows through the cracks in the trees.
"That's ......"
Vondolph's pupils dilated, capturing more light at +30% at night, trying to see what it was.
Then a European gray wolf emerged from a crack in the tree.
Because of the obscuration of the mountains, there is no direct light, and the outlines of all the surrounding scenery become softer, as if you are in a mysterious fairy tale world.
In the shallow pink and purple light, the huge gray wolf, which was two or three circles larger than the golden retriever, appeared on the opposite bank with its tail drooping and taking figure-eight steps, and quietly appeared in front of Feng Daofu.
The eyes of wolves and men are met.
The gray wolf pricked up its ears and wrinkled its nose, but it didn't growl.
It's quiet.
Quietly staring at people with those dark yellow eyes.
The half-squatting man had an expressionless face and his heart was beating faster.
Looking at the body that is mainly gray, several coat colors are gathered together, like a mottled fur.
Looking at the gray wolf's shoulder height, it was taller than his half-squatting.
Vondolf's brain was almost blank.
Suddenly, there was a flashback: the blacksmith encountered several hungry brown bears...... If there are brown bears, there will be wolves!
Tick~
A drop of rain fell, followed by a continuous light rain.
Under the rain, everything looks gloomy and eerie.
Tick~
The gray wolf slowly pressed forward.
Instinctively, Vondolf clenched his pickaxe.
"Master?"
The big hairy carrot with his back to the wolf seemed to sense something and wanted to look back.
"Don't look back."
Feng Dolph reflexively stopped her.
Da Mao Luo paused and didn't look back, but he could already see something through the mirror of the river, combined with the sound just now......
The blonde girl's body froze, then relaxed again.
Vondolph didn't notice it, and his attention was focused on the gray wolf.
The gray wolf was still pressing forward with a slow gait, leaving a straight line of breakpoints behind him, and he was already about to step on the ice.
The back and waist are undulating, but unlike the feline, it is similar to a low and wide gait.
Those dark yellow eyes never left Vondolph for a moment, and their noses twitched, as if they were sniffing something.
For a moment, Vondolph seemed to see a vicious light in those wolf eyes.
But I soon realized that the eyeball itself does not emit XX light, and the eye includes the eyelid and the periphery of the eyeball.
He thinks so, it's just a brain supplement in his heart.
It's normal to panic when you encounter a beast for the first time.
But panicking was useless, Feng Daofu was calm and calm in his heart.
As long as it's still a normal human, the sprint can't outrun the gray wolf, so it's useless to turn around and run away.
Unless sacrificing teammates.
Probably not daring to take his eyes off the gray wolf, Feng Daofu didn't even look at the big hair, and he didn't think of sacrificing and running away.
He just thought that maybe the wolf might be more nervous and frightened than he was now.
It is said that people are afraid of tigers for three points, and tigers are afraid of people for seven points.
Try!
"Drink!"
Vondolph let out a loud shout and jerked his pickaxe high.
The gray wolf stopped, hesitated for a moment.
As if he felt that it was not easy to provoke, and it seemed that his paws were not suitable for stepping on the ice, the gray wolf shrugged his tail and turned away.
It's good to go.
Feng Dolph secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm very strong, but the European gray wolf is one of the largest canines, with a length of up to 1.6 meters and a weight of around 69-80 kilograms."
"The adult golden retriever is only 27~34 kilograms, and he can't pull it when he goes crazy, let alone the European gray wolf."
"It's best to avoid conflict......
Call!
The gray wolf who had just turned around suddenly turned back again!
In just a few steps, the force of the gray wolf's front foot kicking backwards caused its body to temporarily levitate in the air.
At the moment when his feet stepped on the ice, the gray wolf jumped again, running continuously in the air, and pounced straight towards the big hair!
In the rain, a wolf shadow that attacked the girl quickly dilated in her black pupils.
Feng Dolph's eyes widened, his whole body was like electricity, and almost instinctively grabbed his old clothes and threw them at the gray wolf!
Call!
