Matou Shinji didn't look at the pile of rotten meat behind him, and looked at the fire that was completely burning. He couldn't do anything about it, and if it burned to this extent, it would be better to let the flames burn out the things here, otherwise the house would be dangerous. more troublesome.
Can't wait here.
Matou Shinji looked at the girl in the white yukata and nodded slightly. Well, this girl who looks a little silly is a human. He stepped forward and asked, "Which direction is Zhishui City and how far is it?"
"Ah? Zhishui City... It's in that direction, and you can see the pier after a day and a half."
The girl recovered from her daze, and subconsciously answered Matou Shinji's words.
"day and a half..."
This is a little outrageous. It's even if you don't get closer after walking for a day, and it's even farther away from that city?
Looking at the direction pointed by the girl, Matou sighed deeply and couldn't help but miss the street signs that he hadn't noticed before.
Matou Shinji turned around and took two steps, as if remembering something, and said to the girl who was still kneeling there: "If you want to be buried with this temple, then sit here obediently and wait to die, but the fire It hurts to burn alive, if you don't want to die, then leave this place quickly."
After Matou Shinji finished speaking, he walked out of the temple and looked around a little, and found that there was a lot of open space around the temple. It looked like he was going to plant something, but now it is fully qualified as a fire zone.
Pop, pop!
The sound of footsteps came from the temple, and the girl in white ran out of the temple with tears in her eyes and silently followed behind Matou Shinji.
He turned his head to look and said nothing. After getting away from the burning temple, Matou Shinji found an open space, picked up some dry branches, set up a bonfire, and lit it with matches.
call...
The flames will disperse the darkness in the forest, and also reflect the white figure not far from Matou Shinji. After collecting the spare firewood, Matō turned around and said to the girl: "The fire may attract wild beasts, they are afraid of it. The flames won't come close, but they will linger around. You stand there and die, come to the campfire, I don't want wild animals to have a banquet next to me in the middle of the night, and I don't want to wake up the next day to see one gnawed Half-pulled corpse."
"...Thank you, thank you for your help."
The girl slowly moved to the bonfire and said, Matou Shinji heard her words for the first time, um... the voice was quite pleasant.
Matou Shinji didn't say much. He was not familiar with this girl. He used a wooden stick to fiddle with the bonfire, took out a few potatoes from the large suitcase, and stuffed them into the ashes piled up under the bonfire. middle.
To ask what's worse than going hungry, it's of course getting lost on an empty stomach! And also have to sleep for a night, tsk!
Thinking of this, the hunger in his stomach became stronger. Matou Shinji took out a few rice balls wrapped in lotus leaves from his suitcase, and began to thank Mrs. Suzuki in his heart. Also have to figure out how to make dinner.
Opening the lotus leaf outside, when Matou Shinji was about to start dinner, he felt a line of sight focused on himself, and when he looked up, he saw the girl in white who was swallowing.
Uh...
"Eat a pad for the stomach, the staple food has to wait for the potatoes to be cooked." Matou Shinji handed over a rice ball and said.
After the girl who took the rice ball thanked her again, she swallowed the rice ball in a gulp, looking like she didn't even eat dinner.
While eating the rice ball, Shinji turned the potato over with a wooden stick. He didn't want to eat something with one side burnt and the other half raw.
The flames danced in front of the two of them. As the night got darker and the temperature got lower and lower, the girl couldn't help but squeezed towards the bonfire, so that more warmth could envelope her.
There were a few wolf howls around, and there seemed to be something haunting around, some beasts attracted by the flames, but Matou Shinji ignored them, just sat quietly, playing with the bonfire from time to time.
"Are you going to worship Buddha?"
Waiting for potatoes was a little boring, Matou Shinji said in a chatting tone.
"No, my father is the presiding officer of the temple, which is my home."
Sitting on the ground, with her arms around her knees, the girl lowered her head and felt slightly depressed.
"Feel sorry."
Maybe it's a talent. Matou Shinji sometimes makes the atmosphere awkward. Just like now, he can only sit here and wait for the potatoes to be cooked, and at most occasionally add a match.
The silence lasted for a while, until Matou Shinji took out several potatoes from the bonfire, and gently removed the skin covered with ashes, which was filled with light yellow potato flesh. Matou Shinji was originally a food consumer. The big family, the rice balls I ate before have been digested completely.
The girl in white on the side didn't care that she was wearing a clean yukata. After receiving the hot potato, she peeled it and blew. She didn't have the outrageous body of Matou Shinji, so she could only wait for it to cool down and eat.
For a while, there was only the sound of chewing. There were originally five potatoes, and Matou Shinji ate four, but the remaining one was enough for a girl to fill her stomach. She was not a girl with a big appetite.
After dinner, Matou Shinji adjusted the bonfire, added matches to make sure it would last until the early morning, then put the suitcase directly under his head, and quickly started his sleep.
After eating the potatoes, the girl listened to the wolf howling around her and shrank her body even smaller. While watching the bonfire, she observed Matou Shinji. Although he was her savior,... no one could Make sure he won't suddenly be violent to himself at night!
The girl is still somewhat self-aware of her own appearance. She is already considered to be the top group in this era, but what she does not know is, not to mention that Matou Shinji has long been accustomed to the appearance of two beautiful ladies at home. , although one of them has just bloomed.
The most important thing is that he is only thirteen years old! !
It's just that his height is not low in this era, and his temperament is calmer, that makes people in this era feel that he is an adult.
A girl is wary of men. It is normal in this era. Sitting by the bonfire, thinking about what happened today, she can't help but feel sad again. She knows that those people are some monsters.
My father is not an old-fashioned person. There is still a shotgun in the temple. However, even if the shotgun punches a big hole in those people, they will recover quickly in the next moment. The monks in the temple can't kill those monsters at all. Until Kirito Shinji appeared...
The girl thought about these things, thinking about it... The eyelids became more and more heavy, and she fell asleep on the ground in a daze.
Goooo! !
The chirping of birds and the chill of the morning awakened the girl from her sleep. She didn't know how she fell asleep last night, so she subconsciously touched her clothes. Fortunately, the clothes are still there!
As soon as he looked up, he saw the man who saved him sitting in front of the bonfire, with something on a wooden skewer being roasted on the fire.
Immediately she felt a little embarrassed. After all, they saved you, and you still suspected that they were plotting against you. This kind of thing is too chilling.
However, Matou Shinji, as if he hadn't seen it, turned the wooden stick in his hand and dripped grease into the flames. This was the hare he caught early in the morning. After cleaning, peeling and removing the internal organs, this guy still had enough The amount of oil can be really much.
"Wake up, huh! The time is right, I'll give you a rabbit leg."
Matou Shinji ripped off one of the oily rabbits with his bare hands and stepped back, and handed it to the girl. She looked at the steaming hind legs and searched left and right to find some leaves before she dared to take the rabbit. leg.
Matou Shinji bit on the rabbit's leg and frowned unexpectedly. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still almost defeated by the bad taste. You must know that he didn't have any seasoning in his hand, only some salt.
And barbecue eats seasonings, but Matou Shinji doesn't have it, so he tasted the original "game", so that he really knows what it means to taste the same, and what it means to be full of earthy smell!
But in the end he still ate most of the rabbits, once again proving a truth, unpalatable is useless in the face of hunger!
