Juliana’s workshop Chapter 31: Teenagers and girls
Julius is also carrying the cross sword that originally belonged to Padin today. He was not at all willing to take this heavy and obstructive sword off and put it on the carriage. He carried a long sword that was meaningless and useful to him. It was inconvenient to move and sometimes hindered others, but no one complained or made complaints about this matter. Lulunaka, who has the dominant power among the five, didn't care about Julius' excitement, after all, she sent the sword out.
He is not the same as usual now. When he can stop and rest for a while, he always takes out the cross sword and looks at it, and strokes it several times, as if he is treating his own baby-but the cross The long sword is indeed his treasure-not a moment away. Now Julius, carrying a cross sword and holding a pile of wet firewood in his hand, followed Lulunaka.
Lulunaka stopped the convoy and immediately took Julius away from the almost deserted road, and got into the forest, not knowing what to do. It now appears that she took Julius to collect firewood, but it is strange why she brought back a bunch of drenched dark branches.
These branches are not thin, they are as thick as Julius’ forearms. It is really difficult for these branches of varying thickness to be used as fuel for the fire, because they have been fully moistened by the rain, and if they want to be lit, I am afraid they can directly extinguish the bonfire. Julius holding such a pile of water-absorbing branches, even walking is a bit unstable, and his steps are not fast. He now put on a pair of straw shoes that he got from the car. In this muddy forest road, he avoided the ugly state of slipping and falling to the ground, but now his appearance is not good.
Two older men, Olga and Padin, are behind. Romiuona, who is near the front of the convoy, found a relatively clean place on the side of the road and swept away bugs and other things with her feet. After that, the dry firewood provided by the team has been used to set up a bonfire.
"Romouona, it's better not to light the fire so quickly. It's still early, not yet when it's time to use fire to drive away the beasts." Lulunaka shouted to Romiuona. Julius staggered behind her.
Romyona wiped the flint on a small strip of firewood, a flame rose, and then she blew it out. Since the firewood can be ignited normally, it is enough. As Lulunaka said, it is not time to light the bonfire, at least it is better to wait for dinner. Traveling abroad, especially in the wild and forests, can drink a bite of hot soup, even if it is a salty broth boiled with dried meat, it is better than nibbling on cold, hard bread.
But Romiuona didn't know whether she was traveling or fleeing. Once someone wanted to take her life, even no matter how lucky she was, she might have to live a life of wandering and fleeing, but now, she is taken by someone in this forest with an unlucky name, and she wanders freely. Go east.
She sighed, stopped thinking about it, and concentrated on setting up a campfire.
On the other side, Julius couldn't help it, and began to complain about Lulunaka, "Why are you letting me pick up these soaked branches? These can't make a fire at all."
Lulunaka ran to the side of the wagon that was carrying the cargo, climbed up, and got into the cargo pile with her entire upper body. When she heard Julius’s words, she poked her head out of it, "Who said that the branches I picked up can't make a fire?"
"Can you make these branches on fire?"
"You'll know tonight." Lulunaka waved to Julius, looking impatient and drove him away, "Go and pick me up again, if it's in the mud The branches that have been hit by the rain, if I find that there are slightly drier branches, your soup, meat, and bread will be reduced tonight."
When Lulunaka said so, Julius didn't dare to have any more opinions, so he could only hum a few times and no longer complain. The other party is the veritable owner of this team. What she said is basically equivalent to everything. No one can resist her, and Julius is no exception. Although Julius still had fear of this "witch" in his heart, but after a period of time together, his vigilance also dropped a lot. At least this witch wouldn't eat a skinny boy like him, so there was nothing to be afraid of. And with Lulunaka, life is much better than in the village: not only got a precious and beautiful sword, but also had soup and meat every day. For Julius, this kind of life is much better than before. Even if Lulunaka intends to fatten him and then slaughter him, then Julius does not intend to be true until the day he is slaughtered and eaten. Ran away.
Julius put the wet twig he was holding on the side of the campfire set up by Romeo Na, and then just made eye contact with Romeo Na. When he saw Romeo Na’s eyes, Julius immediately turned her gaze away and looked to the other side; Romeo Na did not turn her gaze away, just stared at the other side, pretending not to care but actually Julius, who was a little nervous, looked at it for a while, then lowered his head again.
In this small fleet, the youngest are the two of them. Romeo Na is a few years older than Julius, but she is far from leaving her teenage years. As for Julius, she looks like a thin bamboo pole that is malnourished, pulled up high, and she doesn't even have a fluffy beard on her face. As for Lulunaka, who looks very young and innocent, no one thinks she is really a girl—a devil in human skin, a witch who eats children, a mage who rejuvenates...There are many guesses about her. But there is no speculation that she has such an age as her appearance.
Julius and Romeo Na, who are young, may not have become such an atmosphere of getting along in this convoy of only two adult men and an alchemist of unknown age. Julius is not a person who is afraid of life, he is kind and courageous; although Romiuona was a noble, but half a bucket of water, she does not have the temper and attitude of nobles, and will not really treat orphans like Julius as a pariah. Come to treat... Two people like this, get along for a week, but haven't said a few words, and they don't even have close contact with each other.
Both of them are people who have faced death together. Julius also prevented Romeo Na’s suicide plan. The two shouldn’t have become this kind of embarrassing way of getting along. Olga is still a little on guard against Padin and has no plans to regain this friendship; Romeuona and Julius are far apart, completely unlike the way two young people should get along. Only Lulu Naka, who can get close to everyone, looks like a character with a warm atmosphere-if she has never done terrible things in her character.
After Julius put down the things, Lulunaka’s voice came over again, "Go pick up two more hands, I guess there are still a lot of wet branches falling there, but I won’t let you take too much. That's too much. You must remember the way, go and come back soon."
"Will you let me go alone? What if something jumps out to take me away!" Julius heard Lulunaka say this and immediately yelled.
Lulunaka climbed onto the wagon, poked her head out, and smiled at Julius: "Aren't you brave enough to be a hero? Why do you have less courage at this time? Forget it, let Ward accompany you. Ward!" Lulunaka shouted to her dog. Ward has been squatting on the roof of the front carriage, still looking listless, and people can't help but wonder if this is a sick dog.
The fur on Ward's abdomen was not replaced by Lulunaka, so I left it alone. Moreover, Ward seemed to dislike the feel of the fur, so I scratched it a few times when he had the opportunity, and the entire abdomen was already invisible. To the yellow fur, there was only a silver luster—the silver steel body could not see any flesh and blood. This artificial dog called an alchemy product by Lulu Naka ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Every day except for food and sleep, it seems that there is nothing else to do, either squatting on the roof of the carriage or squatting on Lulu Naka's feet occasionally touched Lulunaka's calf with her nose, seeming to be talking a few times, and then she fell silent again.
Ward jumped off the top of the carriage shed by Lulu Naka's shout, and followed Julius. Apart from being more affectionate to Lulunaka, this dog didn't appear to be very kind to anyone else. It would not bark at anyone other than Lulunaka, but it would not listen to their orders. It seems that for Ward, only Lulunaka can make it move-considering that it is Lulunaka's creation, this is not a very strange thing.
Seeing that the yellow depilated dog came to his feet, he didn't rub his legs, nor barked at him. Julius was stunned for a while, and he didn't start immediately. It wasn't until the spiritual dog looked up at him and his eyes seemed to be inquiring, that Julius quickly raised his foot and walked in the direction Lulunaka took him away and back.
After Julius and Ward left, Lulunaka jumped from the top of the carriage to the top of the carriage shed in front. Although the distance between the two carriages did not spread too much, it could be said that they were close together, but the distance between the carriages could not be easily jumped over, but Lulunaka jumped over easily. The carriage underneath shook slightly.
"I want to be a hero, it's too early." Lulunaka looked at the direction Julius and her dog were walking away, "Being carried by a dog, you can't be a hero."
Romiona was below, and she heard Lulunaka's words clearly. She didn't speak, just bowed her head to light up those simple firewood, no one knows what she is thinking now
