Now that the sky is clear, Locke and Angelina are about to consider today's food. The two had eaten the last bit of food yesterday.
"Are there many animals around here?" Locke asked nonsense, where are the animals that are currently covered by snow.
After Angelina gave a "no" answer, Locke began to think about what to do next. Locke, who had machismo in his heart, didn't want to wake up all by himself, and relied on Angelina to bear the food for the two.
Angelina also quietly waited for Locke to find a way. To be honest, if Angelina went out to find food now, she would only have to dig a trap and wait for the prey to be delivered to the door. Huoyun fruit is left. Down a lot. However, looking at the white snow on all sides, the thickness of the snow layer is almost half a meter. It really depends on God if there are any beasts.
Locke used to be in the military camp, and in the winter, when he finished the battle, he spent time playing cards in the military tent. Charlo's winter is not colder than Faustin. The difference here is that there is more snow than Faustin. When a snow falls, it can reach a person's waist when it is deep.
In this environment, normal activities are difficult, let alone having other fun.
Loke looked around. The cave they lived in was halfway up the mountain, with a relatively open view. At this time, there was really a piece of white ground all around. The traces that were invisible in the previous jungle were all covered by snow. Only a few hundred-year-old trees with a height of more than ten meters are still standing upright, but from their appearance, only a small part is exposed.
Looking back at the area where he and the Moonlight Wolf were fighting, several "little saplings" stood upright, as if no amount of snow could overwhelm their backbones. Locke seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up and asked Angelina: "Do you remember where the moonlight wolf's body is?"
"Huh?" When Angelina heard it, she didn't understand what Locke meant at first, and she pointed in a direction and said, "It should be in that place."
"Go! Let's go to the moonlight wolf corpse!" Locke lifted his leg and walked away. Now his bruises are only a fracture of his chest and ribs. He can't do a lot of work, but walking is not a problem.
"Hey? Do you think?" Angelina seemed to understand Locke's thoughts and hurriedly followed up and asked: "Do you want to eat its corpse?"
"Of course!" Locke limped, clutching her chest and barking her teeth without taking two steps. Angelina hurriedly stepped forward to support Locke. Locke had no problem walking, but it was a little bit more severe and her chest was broken. The ribs will pierce his stomach and spleen.
When we arrived at the place of the battle that day, Locke also roughly calculated the location of the Moonlight Wolf from the scattered surrounding trees.
"Dig!" Locke said.
Without suitable tools, the two can only dig snow with their hands. Fortunately, although the weather is clear at this time, the snow has not melted due to the lower temperature, and the fluffy snow is easier to dig.
It has been more than 20 days since the battle. During the period, there have been several snows, large and small, with a depth of two meters. It took Rock and Angelina for a long time to dig to the end. The main thing is that he has no tools. If he has a shovel, even if Locke is injured, he can definitely handle it by himself in an hour.
When digging underneath and touching the soil, a tough wolf carcass appeared. The gray wolf hair had been frozen so that the hair stood upright, and it even felt sore to the touch.
Locke and Angelina worked together to pull the moonlight wolf's body out of the snow pit.
Although the two-meter-long and 1.5-meter-high Moonlight Wolf died long ago, it was still relatively well preserved under the snow, and it was still alive at this time, with a hideous wolf head and a black hole blinded eyes staring blankly. Looking forward, Angelina was given a lot of pressure.
Locke stepped forward. He had probably seen more dead bodies than Angelina had seen, and countless more terrifying than that. He was afraid of a dead wolf that he killed. what. Mobilizing a little bit of grudge in the palm of his hand, he patted the hard wolf carcass. After the click, the wolf carcass collapsed. The moonlight wolf's flesh and blood had been torn apart, and it was wrapped in a wolf skin.
Angelina was taken aback by the sudden change. But the recent experience made her nerves sharpened, and she did not scream out in shock.
"Sure enough." Locke secretly said. He was a servant in the winter when he first joined the army. Once he was yelled to pull the corpse after the war. Faustin had too many soldiers dead, and these corpses were to be in the camp. Those who burned to ashes and brought them back to Faustan, few who came to serve as soldiers were orphans like Kane, and most of them were family members. It is said that the ashes of those who died in the war were brought back to their families. Leave a thought.
It was the first time that Locke and his camp participated in the war. Many bad luck guys died before they realized what war was. The casualty rate of Faustin's army in the first year was quite high. I still remember that after a heavy snowfall, Locke went to clean the battlefield to pull the dead bodies of their camp. The snow was so heavy that it often took a long time to dig out the people before they could be pulled away.
Locke was impressed by the fact that with just a slight bump, a corpse he was pulling broke into several pieces, which really scared Locke, who had just joined the army for less than a year. Uncle Yorkiak, who was also an old man at the time, explained to him, “It’s all frozen. Look at the broken parts, the blood and flesh are fresh.” Locke used to pull the corpse often. It will stink and turn black after a long time, which is very different from this kind of frozen.
The body of the Moonlight Wolf at this time is not much different from the frozen corpse that Locke saw a few years ago. "I hope I can eat it." Locke said.
The corpse of the Moonlight Wolf whose flesh and blood had been broken into pieces was easy to carry. Locke and Angelina dragged the wolf hair back to the cave where they lived without much effort.
After the two men took the Moonlight Wolf back back, Locke took his dagger and began to cut the Moonlight Wolf’s skin. He used to eat game, and he was familiar with cutting skin. Moonlight Wolf's leather is so good, smooth and smooth, and the most important thing is white, Angelina must be very beautiful in it, Locke thought so.
With a sound of "stab", Moonlight Wolf's fur was torn apart, revealing several pieces of flesh and blood inside, the flesh and blood still glowing red, and a fishy smell came out. Fortunately, it was not broken, and Locke was relieved.
The food at night is roasted wolf meat. The barbecue sprinkled with fire cloud fruit powder and salt, the two ate with relish. Although they have been eating barbecue for almost a month, it is nothing to people who are hungry. In order to save food the first two days, both of them ate very little.
"By the way, this wolf has been dead for several days before it fell. How come the wolf meat is so fresh?" Locke asked curiously. He learned from Angelina the general situation of his coma.
"The meat of beasts contains magic power. Even if the beasts die, as long as their flesh still contains magic power, the body will maintain its own attributes." Angelina said, "Preservation is even more trivial for the ice-based beasts. It won’t work if it’s fire or dark. One will rot quickly, and the other will be corrosive."
"Fortunately, this is the headlight system." Locke said. After Angelina's popular science, he learned some common things about magic. The light system has self-healing ability. The wolf meat can keep fresh for so long. Department of magic has been repairing the activity of the magic wolf muscles.
Locke bit the meat in his mouth. He has not eaten the demonized creatures. He ate the meat of Warcraft for the first time. Of course, he didn't want to waste it. Moreover, Uncle Yorkiak told him that the meat of Warcraft is for their knights. He will not let go of his nourishing ability.
Angelina is only a 16-year-old girl now, but in terms of physique, she is close to the third-class soldiers who have worked hard in the barracks for several years. This is all by eating and eating. In this world, most of the time, birth determines height.
Wolf meat and horse meat are both meats that Locke hates most. One is astringent and the other is sour. If it is necessary, Locke will never eat these two kinds of meat. He would rather eat black bread.
But the wolf meat of Moonlight Wolf is different from ordinary wolf meat. Locke doesn't taste any astringency in the bushes, but there is a tenderness in the mouth, like eating dog meat. Dog meat and chicken are Locke's favorite foods. When his team leader, he often took his brothers to the occupation village of Charloh for tooth sacrifice.
It's delicious, then eat more. Locke may also be hungry, or it may be to recover his body's needs. Just one meal has eliminated his food for the previous two days. This is pure meat.
Fortunately, the corpse of the Moonlight Wolf is big enough, and now there is snow to keep it fresh, and the two of them eat for a week without a problem.
After the meal, Angelina touched her round belly and lay on Locke's chest. Before, she would never have thought that she would eat so much meat. Fortunately, she lost weight drastically these days and is not afraid of eating fat.
Now there is no gap between Angelina and Locke. The princess and the commoner boy are no longer like Locke Gang. There will be a small class influence when saving Angelina. At this time, they only rely on each other. .
At night, when Locke and Angelina finished practicing and preparing to go to bed, Locke said to Angelina, "In three days, we will leave!"
Angelina nodded, and the two embraced and fell asleep.
Although they have met frankly many times, the two have never made the last step. First, Locke is really afraid to do anything to Angelina now. The two have to go out and face their friends. , Subordinates, superiors, if the nobles know that Locke, a commoner boy, is having an affair with their princess, it is estimated that the only way to wait for Locke is to hang.
Secondly, Angelina was not ready either. She was only 16 years old. Although Locke was not her first brother when she was in this grade, most Faustans were married and had children at this age, but Angelina Na is a royal family, and royal family members stipulate that they can only marry or marry at the age of 18. This is to ensure the quality and purity of the royal blood.
As for why Locke is not a junior brother, um, during the first two years of serving in the army, the little guy who just joined the army wandered between life and death every day. If there is nothing to vent, Locke really doesn't know if he can bear it. At that time, Locke was a frequent visitor to the Logistics Department.
