Although this place is remote, it is not far from Tok and Tonya's residence.

And for some reason, there are very few people nearby. Fortunately, the weather is cold in the winter. Every time Tonya goes to the city to buy groceries, she buys a lot of them and stores them in a low-temperature place.

Because the conditions of this cabin are not very good and can only guarantee a basic living standard, and Dongnia already has good intentions towards the girl, the rent she set is an extremely low figure.

It was just that the girl was tossed around, and most of the cash was either left in Mondstadt, in a hotel, or somewhere in a corner of Dottore's residence.

All in all, she can be said to be stretched thin.

"As for the rent, don't worry about it this month. Just treat it as your reward for saving Tok."

I don’t know if she saw the girl’s embarrassment, but Dongnia said this very understandingly.

"Ah, thank you."

The girl bowed lightly to Tonya and considered whether the materials on hand could be sold in the market to cover the rent.

The house is very small and there is no room for a kitchen.

but......

"It's very clean. Is anyone cleaning it all the time?"

Tonya was stunned for a moment.

"Probably, it's my brother."

"Because there are always monsters in this area, it's always my brother who has time to take care of it."

The girl nodded thoughtfully.

However, there are many monsters outside.

"Well, why don't you come and have dinner with Tok and me?"

Dongnia's voice suddenly sounded, and the girl who was meditating was startled:

"meeting......"

"Since Tok wants you to stay, he probably likes you."

Tonya was probably really good at dealing with people, and this time, the girl was embarrassed to say no.

"okay."

In the following days, the girl's life was actually very peaceful.

Except for going to "Death" in disguise every day, she usually stays in her hut, or stays with Tonya and Tok.

The girl was afraid to go to the Adventurers Association to take on quests, so she could only make money by selling some monster materials. However, this kind of thing seems to be quite popular, especially among some weak and studious alchemists. The girl will visit every stall even if it is in the corner.

There is no other reason, partly because of the girl’s strong knowledge reserve.

On the other hand, it was the girl’s unique insights into alchemy, which, according to them, looked like a master in the industry.

Fortunately, their efforts were generous and they did not let the girl work in vain.

"Miss Xue, thank you very much, see you tomorrow!"

"OK, bye."

The girl carefully closed her hood and made sure that not a single hair was leaking out before she left with confidence.

Because she had been chatting with the group of alchemists for a long time today, it was getting dark. The girl passed by a stall and bought a cake, gnawing on it while walking.

A bit hard, not as good as Tonya’s craftsmanship.

The road is a bit difficult to walk at night in the winter. If you don't wear good shoes, your toes will be soaked in snow before you take two steps, and then freeze quickly at low temperatures. Some people even have their toes frozen off.

And on some paths that are crowded with people but no one cares to clean them, the thick snow has been compressed by repeated trampling and turned into an icy road at low temperatures. If you step on it accidentally, you will fall down.

However, the girl found this kind of ice road a bit interesting. After stepping on it, the anti-slip soles made a gentle "crunch" sound, and they could also rub back and forth, making a childish and interesting sound of rubber rubbing on a smooth surface.

Finally walking back to the hut in the cold, the girl shrugged her nose, feeling like she could smell a vague smell of blood.

Was there a conflict between monsters?

It makes no sense. She had just cleared away a wave of monsters when she went out in the morning, which made today's material richer.

Thinking about it, the girl's hand had already turned the door lock. The moment she opened the door, the strong smell of blood rushed directly to the girl's face. There was a faint sound of breaking through the air, and a water blade was placed across the girl's neck.

The girl closed her eyes subconsciously, but the expected pain did not come. She only heard a hoarse, cold male voice:

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

The girl opened her eyes. Except for the glowing water blade in front of her, the man's body was completely hidden in the darkness. Only a pair of sharp, blue eyes exuded hostility and murderous intent.

The girl opened her mouth to say "I'm sorry", but then she thought about it——

This is a house she rented with her own money!

She just paid this month's rent yesterday!

This, now, is her! of! house! son!

He was an intruder who not only held a knife to her, but also asked her what she was doing in her house—

So the girl "hummed" angrily, stretched out two fingers to move away from the man's blade, and even used a little elemental power to freeze the water blade:

"I'm going home, what can I do?"

The girl's other hand shook and held the key at her fingertips:

"But you - why did you show up at my house?"

There was obviously a trace of hesitation in the movement of the person opposite——

Maybe he was thinking about the girl's words, or maybe he was frightened by the girl's simple and brutal action of freezing his ice blade and hand.

Seeing that the man didn't speak, the girl urged speechlessly:

"How did you get in? Who are you? What are your intentions?"

"Is this your home?"

The murderous intent in the man's voice faded somewhat, and instead was tinged with disbelief:

"Then where is my home?"

I saw the man also raised his other hand, shook the key in his hand, and made a collision sound.

what?

Renting an owner's house to her, Tonya shouldn't be able to do such a thing, right?

"You held Tonya hostage?"

The man's voice was like waking up from a dream, filled with murderous intent again, and the water blade that had already thawed was pressed against the girl's neck again.

Hearing Dongnia's name, the girl frowned:

"Do you know Tonya?"

"She's my landlord."

The girl's voice seemed to be frozen in the extremely cold weather. It fell slowly and seemed to hit the ground silently, shattering into pieces.

"..."

Silence, long silence.

The silence was finally broken by an exaggerated cough from the man opposite.

As the coughing sounded, the smell of blood became stronger, and it felt like he would die here at any time.

The girl didn't care about anything else at this time. She hurriedly turned around, closed the door, and turned on the light.

The man was finally exposed to the light.

The man had conspicuous orange hair and was quite tall. However, he had a terrible wound on his body and was half-bandaged. There was a medical box beside the bed not far away.

"You are hurt?"

The girl immediately started looking through her backpack - she had the habit of carrying potions with her since she lived here.

Life was at stake. At this juncture, the girl pushed the young man onto the bed almost without thinking and took off the clothes that were stuck to his wound.

It was obvious that the wound was not properly debrided, so the man probably just started to stop the bleeding because he thought it was troublesome.

And his waist was covered with scars, large and small.

Tsk, I can survive until now.

Are they somewhat related to Tianli?
