Chapter 139： Roger's Extra Story 01…

Roger woke up in the wet and cold morning. The warm heat around him made him cuddle closer. The black panther liked his unsuspecting dependence, and lowered his head and licked his eyelids affectionately and tenderly.

"Okay, okay, I'm awake." Roger opened his eyes, smiled and stretched his arms around its neck. "Get up, Blake, it's time for us to go out and find something to eat." Drilled out from under the soft fur.

It's a spring morning, but the weather is still frighteningly cold. The sudden sleet last night made the ice in this humble hut have no temperature at all. If it wasn't for Blake's side, it is estimated that he would have to spend another sleepless night. night of.

The firewood in the bonfire pit in the center of the house had been burnt out, leaving a thick layer of ashes. Roger lifted the slate next to it to cover it, and looked at the room inside. Dong Ge and Nan Qing were still asleep. Now that he is old, he can finally fall asleep. He didn't bother to disturb him. He lightly went to the north corner and picked up two wooden buckets. The only little water was frozen.

There was no door in the house. There were only two simple wooden boards across the door. At night, they had to pile up stones to block it to barely block the wind. At this time, Blake had cleaned the door and stood there waiting for him.

"Let's go, let's go to the lake to get some water first, Dong Ge and Nan Qing should need it later." Roger laughed.

The black panther seemed to understand what he said, flicking his tail and leading the way.

Black was a wounded black leopard he picked up on the side of the mountain about a month ago. He had a wound on his back. He didn't want to treat it, because he really didn't want to have too much sympathy for a beast, even if It was injured, no one could guarantee that it would not fight back in the next moment, and he had no extra food to feed it. His first thought at the time was that if the leopard died like this, he might still be able to get some leopard meat to eat. , or there is a leopard skin to keep warm, but the leopard seems to be quite human, and has been looking at him with pleading eyes, its eyes are very beautiful, with a shallow emerald luster, but even so, he still chooses to leave .

After Dong Ge and Nan Qing heard about it, they vowed to guarantee that the leopard would not hurt anyone, so he brought some herbs over there. Fortunately, the weather is cold at this time, and there are few beasts, so it can use the cover of the mountain wall to hide. attacked by other predators and birds of prey.

More than a month has passed, and his injury has healed quickly. At least he can walk and run, and he can often help him catch some small prey. He sighed inwardly at the resilience of the beast. At that time, he was so injured that he couldn't even make a sound.

He named it Blake because of the shiny black fur all over his body, but Blake seemed to prefer that he only pronounced the sound of "bu". Every time he called him cloth, it would be extra happy and wag its tail vigorously.

It rained and snowed last night, and the fog by the lake was particularly heavy in the morning. The grass under his feet was wet and slippery. Roger's shoes were very thin, with only a thin layer of animal skin, which Nan Qing had cut from his winter clothes. It's soaking wet now.

Black lay down and swept Roger with his tail, motioning him to climb onto his back.

Roger shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I can go by myself, your injury hasn't healed yet." He doesn't regret saving it at all now, it can always understand what he means and can respond appropriately, except that it can't Talking, it's almost as considerate as a person.

This lake was formed by the melting of the snow and ice in the surrounding mountains. The water in the lake was extremely cold. After carrying it back and forth twice, Roger's hands became numb from the freezing. The water in the stone pot outside the house was 80% full. Blake slumped to one side, breathing heavily into his hands.

Roger couldn't stop smiling, scratched his chin, and said, "Don't be busy, Bo, I'll cook it in a while." How can a black panther be so caring.

Put the only four eggs that can be eaten in the house, the water boils, and a little firewood is kept underneath to keep warm. He and Blake are going to walk east along the lake today. The weather is getting warmer. With Blake's help, they are now At least I can fill my stomach every day, but I still can’t save some food for the next day.

The sun is rising, the fog is a lot thinner, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the sparse woods, and the nearby grasslands are gradually becoming clearer. In fact, he doesn't count in the strict sense. He only has 61 days in this world. It was Dong Ge and Nan Qing who picked him up in the jungle. He didn't understand why he came here. It was just an ordinary time. Archaeological excavation, but came to a strange world because of a shelter from the rain.

Roger did not bring many things with him, except for a pocket watch, a small saber, and a black stone, and the rest was a packet of hard candy, which he was reluctant to eat, except for Dong Ge and Nan Qing sometimes. In addition to making a cup of sugar water, he gave himself one piece a week, but he was really hungry today. After half the morning, they drank some water and hadn't eaten anything. He felt it from the innermost pocket. He took out one, bit half of it, put it in his mouth, and handed the remaining half to Blake's mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth, cloth, eat it, maybe your stomach will feel better."

Bo opened his mouth obediently.

Roger smiled and patted his big head.

They found a bamboo forest halfway up the hillside of the sunny slope. Roger knew that there might be bamboo shoots if there was a bamboo forest, but he was not sure whether it was there at this time. Roger took out his small saber from his arms and tried to dig at the bamboo roots. He dug five or six trees one after another, but found nothing. Blake seemed to understand what he wanted to do at this time. He sat with his head on his side and rested. He waved his claws recklessly. The soil here was soft and it dug very quickly. Roger did it. Taking a breath, it has already dug out more than a meter.

"Is this to loosen the soil for the bamboo forest or dig up bamboo shoots?" Roger propped his chin and smiled as he saw that it was digging until his body was covered in dirt, but he was quite cute.

But I really let it dig it. Although the bamboo shoots are small and tender, only the size of a palm, there are twenty or thirty bamboo shoots. The result is already very good. .

On the way back, they were lucky. They encountered a buffalo that was drinking water by the lake. Bu's injuries were not yet healed. There might be problems with dealing with an adult bull, but this buffalo was more than enough.

Roger has never been particular about what he eats. For him, the food is only full or not, and there is nothing delicious or delicious, so Joey always says that he is a perfunctory person about life, maybe he is, or Joey Yi had been by his side since he was a boy, and he didn't even notice the thoughts of others.

When they came back, Dong Ge and Nan Qing were already up and taking a shower. Dong Ge's face was gray and his spirit was very poor. He was old and was seriously injured while hunting a year ago. It's not easy, now that spring is here, and hopefully as the weather gets warmer, he can get better as soon as possible.

Roger used two beef front legs to make beef stew with bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots were put in just before the pot, so the taste was very crisp. The milky white soup base, large pieces of beef, and fresh bamboo shoots still looked very impressive. There is appetite, but it is a different taste when you actually eat it in your mouth. Anyway, it is not delicious.

Roger helped Nan Qing and Dong Ge a bowl each, and hesitated whether to give Black a bowl as well. Although he called the prey, it seemed a little inappropriate for it to consume people's weight when food was in short supply. In the end, Luo Jay still decided that he and Blake shared a bowl. He only ate a little of the meat and then fed the rest to Blake. Blake didn't dislike it. As long as Roger gave it, he would eat it and eat it with relish, licking and licking it. Mouth and eyes narrowed.

Dong Ge and Nan Qing looked at each other and smiled, then Nan Qing said, "Roger, I mentioned to you last time that Dong Ge and I are too old to take care of you in the future. It is difficult for you to survive alone in the wild. Are you considering finding a tribe to live in?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Roger saw that Bo's ears were standing up. Although his ears were normally standing up, they were very straight now.

"I don't like crowds, it's fine now." Half truth, half lie, although he has to deal with people based on his work relationship, in private, he still likes to be alone and read some books , do your own research. Besides, he didn't want to bother to understand the world, he had to go back, and when the cold passed, he had to find a way to go back to the jungle anyway, maybe he could find some clues there.

The black panther's eyes dimmed.

Nan Qing reluctantly persuaded: "It's better to stay in the tribe. If it's not a last resort, Dong Ge and I don't want to stray outside."

They are all from the Feiyu clan. He is Dong Ge's female partner. But five years after the ceremony, they have no children. According to the tribe's regulations, they must be separated. He needs to find another orc to form a partner, but he and Dong Ge did not agree, so they could only be expelled from the tribe. After so many years, they are old, but they do not regret their choice. The only regret is that survival was too difficult, and none of their children survived. It's luck to Roger, but they can't delay him. The Leopard Orc in front of them looks very good. They hope that Roger can follow him back. Roger is still young and such a beautiful female. There is no tribe. accept him.

But he seemed to find it difficult to get close to people. Even after living together for more than two months, Roger took good care of them on weekdays, but he was not as familiar with him as a leopard. Roger said that he had been injured and forgot a lot of things. Seeing that they got along so well, they were not too embarrassed to remind Leopards that they were orcs.

After dinner, Dong Ge and Nan Qing went to the lake to tan the hides. Roger processed the remaining beef and hung it with a leather rope. Taking advantage of the warm weather, he burned some hot water to take a bath. The bucket was big enough, and Roger was halfway through the wash, and the panther was spinning around. He couldn't help but jumped in and splashed Roger's face with muddy water.

"You're so dirty, Boo," Roger exclaimed, tugging at his ears to lift it up.

The black panther's big head pretended to be stupid and arched into Roger's arms and began to cheat.

Roger was helpless, pushed him and smiled: "Turn around, I'll help you brush your back first." Do not get water on the injured area on the back.

Black Panther licked Roger's neck and obediently turned his back.

At that time, I didn't think about separation, so I lived a peaceful life. The black panther's injury was getting better day by day. It was very diligent and could always bring back a lot of prey, all kinds of sour or sweet fruits, and sometimes a Handles of wildflowers.

It was the first time in his life that he received flowers from a black panther, and Roger himself was happy.

What's even more surprising is that the house was kept clean every day, someone washed his clothes to dry at night, the buckets and pots were also filled with water for two people, and so on, Dong Ge was not in good health, Nan Qing Taking care of him almost all the time, it shouldn't be possible to do these things. I didn't do it myself.

"Bu, could it be that you did it?" Roger teased him, then he laughed, "Maybe it's what Nan Qing did."

When Roger asked in private, Nan Qing hesitated for a moment and looked at the black panther thumping happily in the lake.

"Bu, I like going into the water more and more now." Although he complained, the corners of his eyes and brows were all soft.

Nan Qing smiled and thought, it's not because you help him brush his hair every time, that's why he likes it so much, so he tried again: "Roger, have you really thought about finding an orc companion?"

Roger shook his head affirmatively.

Nan Qing sighed inwardly, "I did those jobs when I couldn't sleep." He still decided to help the child in Anbu. When they were free, they would lie by the lake and bask in the sun, even if the weather gradually changed. It was hot, and Roger still liked to take a nap on the panther's belly. The sky was always sunny, and the lake reflecting the snow-capped mountains was blue and clear.

"Are you really leaving? Not taking Roger with you?" Nan Qing asked with a frown.

"I've asked many times, he won't leave with me, Uncle Nan Qing, you know, today is the year of reincarnation once every 20 years, our Leopard tribe is going to be attacked by beasts. And my brothers are in the tribe, so I can't hide here. I'll be back with Roger as soon as the herd is over."

"Okay, let's go. Dong Ge and I are here to accompany him. This place is fairly safe, so you don't have to worry too much." In the 20-year reincarnation year, every tribe will suffer a devastating blow. It is the orc's responsibility to protect the tribe, which is inescapable, and he understands it.

Five months later, the leopard beast tide finally passed, and Anbu rushed back day and night. The house by the lake had been abandoned for a long time, Dong Ge and Nan Qing died, and Roger also left.
