The days went by very fast in the busyness. Lei Jin received a letter from Berg without any accident. Lan Qi agreed to help. No matter what the reason was, whether he felt guilty or grateful, the matter of going home was finally settled. With a good start, Lei Jin spent six or seven days to prepare. After all, the road is really hard to walk. This time, there is no Xia and the others to take care of them. Anything can happen. For the sake of his own life, No matter how you prepare, you just don't have that much time.

"Is there anything else missing?" Roger helped Lei Jin count what he needed to take away.

"It's almost there, food, clothes, bows and arrows, torches, flint, salt, basically everything is ready. As for the water to drink at sea, I have chopped up some bamboo tubes and put them on the mountain. Before going to sea, I just need to fill the river with fresh water. ." Lei Jin pulled the contents of this big rattan basket, and the food accounted for a large part of it, all of which were dried meat roasted by Roger, which was enough to fill his stomach and light to carry. He took important things like maps and black jade with him.

Roger made a sound of "um". Seeing that he had few clothes, he asked, "Would you like to bring more clothes? It is estimated that the sea is very cold at this time." Lei Jin's plan was very thorough and thoughtful, but Roger is always worried about letting him go on the road alone. You must know that this is not a modern society. You can still ask for help if something goes wrong. It is better to have Lan Qi's help at sea, but he still has to go through the jungle alone and reach the forbidden area. After that, he didn't know what would happen. After all, the reasons for the strange events that have been happening around the forbidden area over the years were still unclear, but he could only remind him again and again that it was impossible to dissuade him.

"Forget it, these are enough." The things here can be a little less, and those who are leaving are not qualified to ask for too much.

"When are you going to leave?" The turpentine lamp in the room was very dim, and Roger couldn't see Lei Jin's expression at the moment.

"The sooner the better." He couldn't help procrastinating anything. Since he was leaving, he had to hurry up. Procrastination was not his style of doing things.

"Well, go to bed early, it's too windy tonight, close the doors and windows." Roger finally asked.

It was indeed getting colder today. I don't know how they were hunting in the jungle, but when they came back, they left and couldn't see them anymore.

The next day, Lei Jin went to Berg to discuss the departure.

Berg didn't expect Lei Jin to prepare everything so quickly, and he had to tell the truth at this time. Lan Qi was lying on the bed and couldn't move. He was beaten hard by Xia and Moya. It might actually be fatal.

Lei Jin didn't expect that Xiya and Moya would go two-on-one to clean up Lan Qi, which was too much to win, but he didn't think it was too much. After all, fighting is a thing, it's good to win, whatever he is. What means was used, besides seeing Xia and the others injured, Lan Qi didn't care that he was hurt. Of course, in front of Berg, he still appropriately showed his deep condolences and concern for cats and mice.

Berg explained that it was not two-on-one, it was Mo Ya who came to fight first, and the injury hadn't healed yet, so Xi Ya came to make up for it again. However, he hadn't explained that Ya also came once. Seeing that Lan Qi only had half a breath left, after thinking about it, he was still angry and gave him a punch before leaving.

Lei Jin almost laughed. These two are really childish. He has always been used to being a protector and a dependant, but after he came to this world, he was looked after by several of them everywhere. The fate has really been completely broken. Thinking of this, I still have a sour feeling in my heart. Berg doesn't know what Lei Jin is thinking, just seeing his embarrassed expression, it seems that he has no interest in talking about it any more, just because Lan Qi After delaying things, I apologized repeatedly and promised to leave within five days.

In this way, we can only wait, because under the premise that there are no advanced sea crossing tools, if there is no help from Lan Qi, he will die if he goes to sea. Although Lei Jin is eager to leave, he still has some reason. He didn't want to die on the road yet.

Lei Jin set himself the time to leave at the latest when the Sacrificial Moon arrives. There are still about ten days from now, and there is still plenty of time, and he and Berg agreed on a specific departure time before returning home.

During the waiting period, Lei Jin did not sit idle. He dragged Roger and tried many times. Before he left, he made soy sauce and vinegar. He also cleaned the two houses once, and hung up the windows and doors. The animal hides the wind. A few days ago, because Lei Jin was ill, Xia and the others only cleaned up the inside and outside of the room where Lei Jin slept. Before they could get the rest, they went hunting.

No matter how much reluctance to give up, the day of departure still came as scheduled. It was always bright late in winter. Lei Jin woke up and opened the door. The grassland was still gray, but fortunately there was still unmelted snow. , The road can still be seen clearly. He hung the heavy backpack behind him and planned to meet Lan Qi. Before he went out, he heard a lot of movement on the street. It was still early at this time, and the entire tribe was They were all asleep, so he could hear the sound very clearly. After all, Lei Jin did not expect that the people who went out hunting came back just before he left.

Today, he couldn't leave no matter what, Lei Jin calmly hid the rattan basket, took off the clothes he just put on and put it on the closet, turned over to bed and pretended to sleep as if nothing had happened. There are footsteps from far to near.

"Lei Jin, look what Mingya brought you..."

"Shh... I'm still sleeping." Xia interrupted Mingya's excited voice.

Lei Jin felt his cold fingers touch his face and slipped down.

"Did he sleep so deeply, let him sleep more, he hasn't slept fully for more than two months." Listening to Mo Ya's voice, it should be the last to enter the door.

"It's been almost half a month since I walked, how come I'm not fat at all, I don't know if I eat and sleep well."

Lei Jin thought that he was pretending to be very similar these days, but they all saw it, but he didn't say that he heard that Xi Ya had added some charcoal to the brazier, and the room was much warmer in the early morning. The sound of opening the wardrobe lightly, Lei Jin thought that they should have changed their clothes.

Lan Qi should go to the river valley now. I hope Berg can see that something is wrong and inform Lan Qi as soon as possible. Roger doesn't have to worry about it, he has a way to deal with it.

Lei Jin closed his eyes and pondered, but in the sound of their rustling, he was pretending to be asleep, but the nerves that he hadn't slept well for many days couldn't hold back, and he actually started to get confused.

Before going to bed, he seemed to feel that the blanket beside him was tight. Someone carefully touched the bed and lay down against his back. It should be Mingya, Lei Jin thought subconsciously, but he fell asleep before he had any other reaction.

In the warm embrace, Lei Jin slept very deeply, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Mingya lying on the head of the bed, her beautiful big eyes staring at him without blinking.

"I have flowers on my face?" Lei Jin stretched out his hand from the blanket and pushed away the big head that was about to touch his face.

Before anyone could push it away, Lei Jin felt a chill in his mouth, not knowing what Mingya had put in.

"Is it delicious? This is the rock fruit that Mingya picked." It was especially emphasized that Mingya picked it, and with a look of anticipation, he was about to wag his tail and wait for someone to praise it.

It's soft and smooth, and the sweetness is light and not greasy. It's really good, but Lei Jin's bad heart doesn't say it's delicious. Seeing Mingya's expression gradually changing from anticipation to disappointment, in the end, he was so anxious that he almost cried.

"You don't like to eat?" This was the first time he went out hunting and brought something back to Lei Jin since he was an adult, but Lei Jin didn't like it at all.

"Little idiot, it's delicious." Lei Jin felt that the trick was enough, so he half got up and put his arms around his neck and rubbed his head twice.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyyy" on Lei Jin's chest.

The two of you pushed me to block, and I stepped up and down, and they hugged together like two children, tangled and froliced ​​on the bed. In the end, Mingya turned over with Lei Jin's legs in between, successfully pressing the person under her body.

"Not coming, not coming..." Seeing that the situation was not good, Lei Jin immediately began to play tricks.

"Mingya doesn't want to get up." Such Lei Jin looked so attractive, his clothes were messy, his hair was sweaty, and their chests were heaving violently.

"Then how did you get up?" Lei Jin grabbed his ear and smiled indifferently: "Small, you have learned to bargain with me."

"Then kiss Mingya?" Mingya pouted and approached, not afraid of death.

Lei Jin's eyelids twitched, and he turned to laugh. He pressed the back of Ming Ya's head, and kissed it with a loud voice. The effect was good, just kiss on the forehead.

Mingya didn't seem to expect that Lei Jin would really kiss her, so she didn't respond stupidly.

Lei Jin took the opportunity to push him away and said, "Pull up the curtain on the window, what time is it now?"

This was the first time Lei Jin was awake and kissed Mingya. Mingya only caressed about her forehead, but she didn't realize it until Lei Jin stepped up and jumped out of bed to lift the curtain.

The sun shines through the window to illuminate a large area of ​​the room, and it seems that it should be around noon.

Mingya ran to the table with bare feet, carrying a bowl with bright red fruits the size of longan in it, wiped her hands, twisted one to Lei Jin's mouth, and explained: " When you were sleeping, Mingya smashed a lot, you should eat more."

Lei Jin has a big head, and he is not a child, so why do they have to feed him one or two?

"I'll do it myself." Lei Jin intends to reach out and take it.

Mingya's mouth was flat, and she made it clear that she was unwilling. She insisted on putting her hand to Lei Jin's mouth, with a look of grievances she didn't know.

Lei Jin was helpless and had to open his mouth to continue.

Mingya just laughed.

Lei Jin was afraid that he would stand barefoot on the ground and it would be cold, so he let him go to bed. The sun was bright and clean at noon. The two of them ate half a bowl of rock fruit on the bed. In fact, almost all of them went into Lei Jin's mouth. Jin Ken grinned as he ate what he fed.

"I'm eating fruit, but I don't even eat? Lunch is ready, I got out of bed to eat." Xia opened the door with a smile and came in.

Between meals, Roger asked, "Why did you come back from hunting so quickly this year?" In previous years, because of the lack of prey at this time and the need for more sacrifices to the moon, the orcs who went out often took more than a month with them.

"This time in the valley, I happened to encounter a herd of deer scattered by the snowstorm, which accounted for most of the prey this time. In addition, depending on the weather, there may be snow in two days, so we tried our best to hurry back. "That's Anson's answer.

Orcs live in the wild for a lot of time, and they are far more sensitive to changes in weather than females. Therefore, in the eyes of Lei Jin and Roger, it is obviously a warm sunny day when the sun is just right, but the orcs can feel the blizzard a few days later.

Roger silently glanced at Lei Jin.

There was nothing strange on Lei Jin's face. He looked even more relaxed than a few days ago. Roger knew that Lei Jin already had a countermeasure in his heart. Nothing can stop it.

There are still five days left to worship the moon, and that will be the last moment. Lei Jin put the last piece of meat in the bowl into his mouth, and drank the rest of the soup.

Over the past two days, the tribe has been busy one after another, and the faces of the people they met on the road were full of joy. The sacrifice to the moon was very sacred to the people in the tribe, and they would devoutly thank the gods for their protection this year. And pray for good weather and abundant food in the coming year. The orcs all go into the mountains to cut wood, soak it in animal fat, and then build a huge bonfire frame, while the females slaughter and wash their prey at home and save it for the festival on the first day of the sacrificial month.

Anbu took time out of his busy schedule to come to Lei Jin once, and told him about the specific situation of the land allocation, and about the wheat that was planted in the next autumn, and asked him if he had any other ideas.

Lei Jin thought for a while, and added something he knew.

Anbu said that on the day of the festival, he would help him introduce the elders of the tribe to him, but Lei Jin did not smile.

Anbu thought at the time that Lei Jin had agreed.

The evening before the festival, the sun was setting, and the twilight was all around. Lei Jin stood in front of the door, the wind on the grassland blew the hem of his clothes, and the shadow cast by the left side gradually blurred.

"Lei Jin, Mingya is back." Mingya ran over with a smile and hooked Lei Jin's arm affectionately.

"It's so cold, why are you waiting outside?" Xia touched his face, it was cold, she didn't know how long she had been standing here.

Mo Ya took a deep look at Lei Jin and dragged the person to enter the door quickly.

"It's so fragrant, Ah Me said that we are going to have dinner alone in the house today, and I'm still thinking about what delicious food Lei Jin has made," Mingya said with a childish snort.

On the table in the center of the room, a small mud stove was cooking a pot of hot soup, fragrant.

"It's beef. It seems that there are still beef bones. Do you want to drink beef soup tonight?" Xi Ya entered the room and washed her hands, then she took two steps closer and asked with a smile.

"No, we'll have noodles tonight." Lei Jin's attitude was calm and natural.

"What are noodles?" Mingya saw that Lei Jin had brought a straw cover from another table, and planned to go around to help.

Lei Jin heard from Roger that most of the wheat in the tribe is made of wheat grains and boiled directly in the pot.

"You'll know after you eat it." Lei Jin signaled that he didn't need to come over.

Because it had been boiled for a long time, the soup was thick enough to turn white. Lei Jin tasted it, and the beef was rotten and delicious. He put the noodles that had been cut on the lid into the pot.

The noodles came out of the pot, there was soup and meat, and Lei Jin sprinkled a handful of chopped fungus, mushrooms, minced pickles, and chives into each bowl.

The four of them happily ate dinner around the table, and no one noticed when the weather had changed outside.

after meal

"Okay, I'll clean up tomorrow, you can wash and sleep now." Xia covered her mouth and yawned. She didn't know why he felt so sleepy tonight. Could it be because he ate too much? But I did eat a lot tonight. Moya and Mingya also ate a lot, but Lei Jin barely touched his chopsticks. According to himself, he couldn't bear the hunger and put some pads in advance.

"Go to sleep first, I'll be fine." Lei Jin smiled, but his lips were pale.

"You..." Xia wanted to say something else, but the sudden drowsiness interrupted his thoughts, he shook his head, barely keeping himself awake.

"Go to bed quickly, isn't the tribe offering the moon festival tomorrow? I'm still busy." Lei Jin pushed him to the bedside.

Almost as soon as she touched the bed, Xi Ya fell asleep.

Mo Ya was still sitting at the table with her forehead supported, her hair drooping slightly on her forehead, Lei Jin didn't know what he was thinking, so he walked over and said, "Go back to sleep too, you've been busy all day.

Moya stood up a little with difficulty, and helped Mingya, who was already asleep on the table, to the innermost bed. Without saying a word, he came out and hugged Lei Jin in his arms, so tight that Lei Jin suspected that his bones would be broken the next moment.

"You're such an adult, can't you still learn to act like a spoiled child?" Lei Jin patted him on the back and made him get up.

"You must be well..." Mo Ya whispered softly on Lei Jin's shoulder.

Lei Jin was stunned for a moment, but soon forced a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about..." Before he finished speaking, he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, and Mo Ya finally couldn't hold on anymore.

Lei Jin held back his smile and helped Mo Ya to lie down. Lan Qi's medicine was really effective.

"I once asked you, do you want to go with me? You rejected me at the time, and I think you must not be willing to go with me this time. After I leave, go see the baby more when you have time, don't frown , you know I don't want to make you sad." Lei Jin's fingertips gently smoothed the wrinkles between Mo Ya's brows.

"Mingya has also grown up, and she has to be obedient in the future, but Mingya has always been very good." Lei Jin went to the back room to help Mingya pull up the blanket.

Lei Jin pulled out the prepared backpack from under Mo Ya's bed.

"I'm leaving, Xi Ya, I'm sorry." In his heart, he felt most ashamed of Xi Ya. This person accompanied him through the most difficult times during his injury. He usually endures silently, when he needs it. But he always stood in front of him, such a person, after all, he was sorry for him. He didn't say anything about the child in his stomach at that time, but he thought that if it was Xi Ya's, he might make up for this person, but after all, the child was Did not save.

"You deserve a better person who understands you well."

"I'm leaving." Lei Jin leaned over and dropped the last kiss on his lips.

Lei Jin turned around, only to find that the corner of his clothes was held in Xia's palm at some point. Xia looked in pain, and seemed to be struggling to wake up.

Lei Jin was ruthless, he broke open one by one, picked up the basket and ran out.

As the door was closed, suspicious red blood dripped from Xi Ya's fingertips.

Roger was already standing outside the door.

"Take care all the way." By now, Roger had nothing else to say.

Lei Jin gave a "um" and asked again, "If I go back, do you want me to take it with you?"

Roger sighed and said, "Twenty years have passed, and I don't know if anyone still remembers me. Do you remember the pocket watch I gave you when we first met?"

Lei Jin nodded in agreement, of course he remembered, but the watch didn't know why, and the pointer didn't move at all.

"If you can, go there and see." Roger said an address.

Although Lei Jin had never been there, he remembered it carefully.

"In order to prevent Anson and An Luo from becoming suspicious, I can only send you here, Lan Qi should be waiting for you at the estuary.

"Goodbye, Roger."

Just as Lei Jin turned around with the basket on his back, he heard the sound of the door being slammed open.

"Lei Jin..." Mingya burst out crying, hugging his waist from behind, Lei Jin staggered two steps to stabilize his figure.

"Mingya?" Lei Jin was surprised, wasn't Mingya the first to fall asleep?

"Lei Jin, where are you going? You don't want Mingya anymore, and you don't want the eldest and second brothers?"

"Mingya let go." Lei Jin said helplessly, raising his hand to pull his arm away.

"Mingya doesn't want you to leave." He knew that when he let go, Lei Jin really left.

"Mingya, listen to Dad's words. Lei Jin also has someone waiting for him to come home. You can't be so selfish." Roger felt so good when he saw his son like this.

"But do they treat Lei Jin better than us?"

"It's not like that, Mingya." Roger pulled him over and held him in his arms.

"Thank you, Roger." Lei Jin looked at Mingya who was crying out of breath in Roger's arms, but he still didn't say anything to comfort him.

"Dad, will Lei Jin be happier when he goes back?"

"Maybe it is." Many things are not lost, and there will be no heartache. When you learn to feel heartache, it will be too late.

Mingya wiped away her tears and said, "Dad, Mingya is going to see him off. I am afraid that he will encounter danger on the way. Mingya is going to protect him."

Roger looked at Mingya's firm eyes and never felt like this moment that his little son had really grown up, he was a real man, and he had learned to protect the people he liked, even though he really didn't want Mingya to lose it. Growing up in such a cruel way.

"Go, Daddy is waiting for you to come back," Roger could only say.

Lan Qi and Berg stood at the mouth of the river and waited for Lei Jin. They were speechless. Lan Qi smiled bitterly. He and Berg have finally reached this point today. Since that night, Berg would never make peace with him unless it was necessary. He said a word, only said that if he forced him again, he would die together with Bubble. No matter how tough he was, how dare he risk the lives of these two people.

Berg saw a figure approaching from a distance, and went up to meet him. Lei Jin followed Mingya behind him.

"What's going on?" Berg asked Lei Jin in a low voice, pulling Lei Jin aside.

"Forget it, don't ask, let's go, thank you this time, Berg." In order to avoid the goal being too big, Berg didn't leave for the time being.

"This time, I guess there will be no chance to meet each other." Speaking of this, Berg couldn't help but red eyes.

"No matter what happens in the future, you have to think that you still have bubbles." Lei Jin gave him a gentle hug between friends. Is there also a time when Lei Jin gave other people guidance.

Lan Qi and Mingya pushed out the bamboo raft that Lei Jin had already **** from the reeds, and Lei Jin looked up at the hill bulging on the flat ground in the southeast.

"Do you want to go and watch it again?" Berg knew what Lei Jin was thinking.

Lei Jin shook his head and stepped onto the bamboo raft with firm steps.

"It's snowing, Lei Jin." Mingya looked up at the sky.

Lei Jin deliberately chose to go today. First, the festival will be held tomorrow. Xiya and the others must attend and cannot chase after him. Second, all traces of him can be obliterated by the heavy snow tomorrow morning.

"Lei Jin, please add another dress." Mingya paddled on the bamboo raft. Lan Qi has jumped into the water.

Lei Jin sat down, opened the back basket, covered his face with one hand, his strong and indifferent mask was finally broken inch by inch, and in the top bag of the back basket, neatly stacked his new thick clothes this winter.

Berg stood on the shore, watching the small bamboo raft carrying Lei Jin slowly disappear into the vast night.
