Chapter 214

Lianka nodded, then looked at Rice.

"Then please, Mr. Rice, please take us there."

"Um."

The three of them followed Rice and Olaf until they came to a wooden house. This wooden house was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate the three girls for the night.

"There is some food in the house. If you are hungry, heat it up on the stove and eat it." Rice said this and prepared to leave with Olaf.

After thanking Rice and Olaf again, the three entered the cabin.

After Lite saw the two people walking away through the window, he immediately closed all the doors and windows, and then pulled Lena to the small wooden table in the middle of the house.

Lena didn't know what happened at the moment. Seeing the worried faces of Li Te and Li Anka, she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? We have a house to live in, shouldn't it be a good thing?"

"Yeah, but I'm afraid they have evil intentions." Lite said.

"Lena, think about it, in the snowfield, the most important thing is resources, right? Being able to distribute the scarce resources in the village to outsiders is probably not the level of simple folk customs. Most of them are bound to be evil when something goes wrong. "Li Te analyzed this and explained to Lena.

"So, Brother Lee Teuk, you mean... they are bad people?"

"You can't say that at all." Lianka on the other side said. "But after the other party brought us here, he let us stay in our own room without asking anything. Don't you think it's a little strange?"

"You also know the attitude of the family at the entrance to the village just now. This village doesn't look like a village that welcomes outsiders."

"...In short, we must not take it lightly tonight. If they plan to attack us tonight, it will be dangerous."

Lena heard this, nodded, and then raised her hand.

"Then I will be the first to keep vigil tonight."

After arranging the vigil tasks, the three of them spread blankets on the floor of the room and took a simple rest.

On the other side, Olaf and Rice returned to the house. At this moment, in addition to the two people, there were six or seven strong men in the house.

"Boss, what should I say? The temperament of these three girls is different from others. There is also an orc. Could it be that the eldest lady from a rich family is traveling here?" Olaf changed his previous enthusiastic attitude. There was a hint of ferocity in his appearance.

"Well, I guess so." Rice nodded. "But they are not simple. We are some distance from the border. If they can come here, it proves that they have something. We should not act rashly, lest we alert others."

"Hey, what's the point of acting rashly? Aren't we also from outside? Are we big men afraid of those women?"

As soon as Olaf finished speaking, Rice slapped him directly.

"I can't even see the strength of those people. Do you think you can defeat them with a sneak attack?"

"Then... what should we do? If they stay here, don't we have to provide them with good food and drink every day?"

"Today is the day, and they are probably wary of us. We don't have to do anything. We'll numb them first and let them relax their vigilance. Then we'll look for opportunities to strike. As long as we find the right opportunity, we can go one or two steps over and take them out. It’s not a problem.”

"Okay, that's all up to the boss!" Olaf nodded, and then asked the people behind him to disperse quickly.

Chapter 15: Change of plan

Throughout the night, no one in the village came to disturb the three of them. It was the first time that the three of them rested in such comfortable conditions after entering the snowfield.

The task of the first grade is very easy. The three of them only need to survive for a while before leaving the snowfield. If the people in the village are not bad, the three of them can continue to live in the village.

Lite raised his head, came to the window, opened it, looked at the fish-white sky outside, closed the window again, and then turned back.

In the room, Lianka and Lena were both sleeping on the floor. Even though the temperature in the room was already very high, they both curled up to keep warm. Lena, in particular, even deliberately swept her tail over her body while sleeping. Use it as a blanket in front of you.

This cute behavior reminds Li Teuk of some small animals.

At this time, there was a slight knock on the door.

Li Te hurriedly came to the door and opened it. Rice, who had put on his coat, was standing at the door with a bundle of firewood piled behind him.

He did not peek into the room through Li Te, but gave the few people enough privacy and said, "Are you the only one awake now?"

"Ah, yes." Lit nodded, and then asked: "What's wrong? Mr. Rice, what happened?"

"I didn't have much firewood in the house, so I brought some from the warehouse, in case you ran out and got cold."

"Ah...here, no need. We have prepared some firewood ourselves, which is enough."

"Then, please help me put these firewood near the stove in the house. I will not have to transport it again later. I brought it to the door. You can help me take it in. After all, there are differences between men and women."

"Uh, okay." Lit nodded, then stood at the door, took the bundle of firewood handed over by Rice, and put it back into the house.

Rice watched Li Te easily lift dozens of kilograms of firewood and put it into the house, and his heart became serious.

Sure enough, as he thought, the people who can get here are not ordinary people. The other person looks like a weak little girl, but in fact, her strength is no worse than that of an adult man, and may even be a little more terrifying.

Even I am not completely sure of winning this kind of person.

It seems that if you want to deal with them, you can only defeat them one by one.

Rice thought so, recalling the three people he met last night.

Li Teuk's strength has been exposed in front of him, and he is definitely not easy to mess with.

Then came the little girl with white hair and red eyes. She seemed to be a eldest lady who was not easy to mess with. Children of nobles generally did not neglect exercise, so they should not be easy to mess with.

From this point of view, the softest persimmon should be the orc.

Half-orcs are different from orcs. They don't have any fighting talent, and the other party's thin arms and legs prove that they are born with poor nutrition. This kind of person probably comes to do odd jobs for the white-haired and red-eyed lady. It's easy to start with her. Much more.

Thinking like this, Rice already had a plan in mind.

At this time, Leeteuk also put the firewood back to the stove, and then came to the door again.

"Thank you, Mr. Rice."

"It's okay, it's okay. The weather in this kind of place is bad. We humans should help each other more."

"You're right." Hearing this, Li Te also smiled.

Although his inner defense against Rice has not been lifted yet, Rice's behavior also made Li Teuk feel good about him.

Although this kind of behavior is a bit like showing courtesy for nothing, it also has the meaning of providing help in times of need.

"By the way, are you free during the day?" Rice asked at this time.

"Why do you ask this?"

"Well... we are going to go hunting during the day. If you are good at it, we hope you can join our team. Of course, we will not take any of the prey we get from the hunting. We just hope that one more person will give us more strength."

Rice explained.

"...Alright."

Liteuk lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded.

Only now did she know why the other party was so attentive. Sure enough, it was not unconditional assistance, but was all paid.

However, because he was short-handed, Li Teuk could not refuse at this moment, so he could only agree.

Anyway, as Rice said, one more person brings more strength. Even if they don't go hunting with the people in the village, they still have to go hunting by themselves. In this case, they might as well go out together.

At this moment, Li Teuk suddenly thought of something.

"That's not right. In your village, do we all go hunting together?"

"Well, after all, there are animals like wolves and bears in the snow, which are not easy to mess with."

"Then why...Olav came back alone last night?" Li Te asked.

"Ah... this..." Rice was immediately stopped when he heard Li Te's question. He rolled his eyes and finally came up with an excuse.

"Olav is braver, and he always catches good things when he goes hunting alone. Just like yesterday, a whole moose was more than the harvest of several of us combined."

"That's it. It seems that Mr. Olaf is really not a simple person." Li Te said this intentionally or unintentionally, while secretly observing Rice's expression with his eyes.

Rice also stabilized his mentality at this moment. He laughed twice when he heard Lite's words.

"That's it. After all, Olaf is the best hunter in our village. His dog, called Lado, is also the best hound. The two of them can survive on their own, but they are still willing to join us. We really I’m very grateful to him.”

"Okay, we've been talking for a long time. It will be cold inside if the door is left open, so I won't bother you. I'll wait until I'm ready to leave.

I'll call you again. "

"Okay." Lit nodded, then closed the door and returned to the house.

Lianka also woke up at this time. The cold wind blowing in from outside the door and the sound of two people chatting made her wake up early.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, then glanced at Li Teuk and said hello.

"Good morning, Li Te. You had a really good rest last night."

"Yeah." Lit nodded. "It is indeed more comfortable to live in a house in this kind of place."

"By the way, was anyone chatting with you outside just now?" Lianka stood up and then said.

"Yes, that Mr. Rice from yesterday, he sent some firewood." Lit nodded, and then faithfully recounted the conversation between her and Rice to Lianka.

"So Leeteuk, you want to go hunting with them?"

"They are locals here and must be more familiar with this place than us. They must know where the most prey is."

"Are you going alone? Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No need." Lite shook his head. "Compared to this, I have something I want to entrust to you and Lena."

"What happened?"

"I still think this village is a bit weird, so I'm going to ask you two to inquire in the village. Didn't Teacher Tris say that the locals here have their own beliefs? Ask them about the temple deep in the snowfield. ”

"If they can answer, they are locals. If they cannot answer, they may be fugitives, exiles and other temporarily formed villages in the south."

"Then if it's the latter, will it be a little dangerous if you go hunting with them?" Lianka said worriedly.

"It's okay, there aren't many of them." Litt motioned to Lianka to rest assured.

"No, if something happens to you, I can't explain to Orson, how about I go instead."

"What if something happens to you? How do you want me to explain to Olivia?"

"Then how about I go?" Just as the two were arguing, a weak voice rang out.

"Lena? You go?" Litt and Lianka looked at Lena in disbelief, but then both of them calmed down.

It seems... indeed, if Lena goes, it will be the safest.

After all, Lena's strength is there. If even Lena can't deal with them, Litt and Lianka will not be able to get out of it.

After thinking about it, Litt and Lianka both agreed to Lena's request.

"Okay, but Lena, you must pay attention to safety."

"I know, I'm not a child!" Lena saw that the two people were so worried about her, pouted, and looked a little angry.

An hour later, the door was knocked again. When Lit opened the door, Rice at the door had already put on a bow and arrow.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah, I have something to do. Let Lena go with you." Lit said this, stepped to the left, and let Lena behind him.

"Uh... but I see..." Rice was about to say something, but was interrupted by Lena.

"It's okay, uncle, don't underestimate me, I'm very strong!"

"Uncle..." Rice heard Lena's address to him, repeated it softly, and then nodded.

"In that case, let Miss Lena go with you."

Rice said this, and gestured with one hand behind his back, indicating that the plan had changed.

He originally wanted to take Lit outside, and the rest of the people in the village would attack Lena and Lianka, but now it seems that the plan has to change. First, arrest Lena, and then use Lena to force Lit and Lianka to surrender.

Oh, this saves a lot of effort.

Rice thought so, and his eyes gradually became cold.

Chapter 16: Unsuccessful sneak attack

At midnight, Orson returned to his temporary residence. The children and the elderly who had gathered in the house had all left, leaving only Olivia and Elsa sitting together, as if they were discussing something.

"Orson, we have some information here, about the Lapland mythology."

Seeing Orson coming back, Olivia turned her head and looked at Orson at the door and said.

"What a coincidence, I have it too."
