Just when the two were still whispering, footsteps sounded not far away.
Olaf came to the three people with his beloved dog Rado and a middle-aged man.
The man smiled when he saw the three girls.
"Guests, are you from other places? I have heard Olaf say that since you are in trouble, we naturally cannot turn a blind eye. It happens that my house is quite big. I will live with Olaf today. You can live in my house."
"Eh? Is it okay?" Lena said, covering her mouth.
"Uncle, you are such a good person!"
"Haha, don't call me uncle, just call me Rice."
"Mr. Rice." Litt was not as excited as Lena. She and Lianka had already communicated and felt that there was something wrong with the other party.
At this moment, the other party was so warm and hospitable, and this attitude made Litt more suspicious.
"We are guests. How can the host vacate a room for guests? Are there any vacant houses in the village? We can live in an empty room as long as it can be sheltered from the wind."
"Sorry, there are really no vacant houses. The wood we spent on building a house is enough to keep others warm for several days. In addition, there are no outsiders coming here usually, so..."
As he said this, Rice showed an embarrassed look.
"Ah, I understand." Li Te nodded.
"We usually receive outsiders here and squeeze into the same room with the locals, but after all, you are all girls, and there are differences between men and women, so it's best to leave a room for you..."
As he said this, Lianka and Lena both showed embarrassed looks. Lianka poked Li Te and whispered:
"Do you want to explain to them?"
"No need." Li Te replied in a low voice.
"Okay." Lianka nodded, then looked at Lianka.
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Rice, to take us there."
"Yes."
The three followed Rice and Olaf and came to a wooden house. The wooden house was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate three women overnight.
"There is some food in the house. If you are hungry, put it on the stove and heat it up." Rice said so, and prepared to leave with Olaf.
After thanking Rice and Olaf again, the three entered the wooden house.
After seeing the two people walking away through the window, Litt 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 Litt and Lianka looking worried, she asked puzzledly: "What's the matter? We have a house to live in, shouldn't it be a good thing?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid they are plotting something bad." Litt said so.
"Lena, think about it, in the snowfield, the most important thing is resources, right? The fact that the scarce resources in the village can be distributed to outsiders is probably not the level of simple folk customs, but most likely something strange must have happened." Lit analyzed and explained to Lena.
"So, Brother Lit, what you mean is... they are bad people?"
"That's not the case." Lianka on the other side spoke. "But after they brought us here, they let us live in their rooms without asking for anything. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
"You also know the attitude of the family at the entrance of 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 are going to take advantage of us tonight, it will be dangerous."
Lena nodded and raised her hand.
"Then I will be the first to keep watch tonight."
After arranging the night watch task, the three of them spread a blanket 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, how can I say that these three women have different temperaments from others, and there is also a half-orc. Could it be that the daughters of wealthy families come here to travel?" Olaf changed his previous enthusiastic look, and there was a hint of ferocity in his tone.
"Well, I guess so." Rice nodded. "But they are not simple. We are a distance away from the border. They can come here, which proves that they have something. We should not act rashly, so as not to alert the enemy."
"Well, what is there to act rashly, aren't we also from outside? Are we, a few men, afraid of those women?"
As soon as Olaf finished speaking, Rice slapped him directly.
"I can't even tell 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, won't we have to provide them with good food and drink every day?"
"Today is a day. They are probably wary of us. We don't have to do anything. We should paralyze them first and let them relax their vigilance. Then we will find an opportunity to attack. As long as the opportunity is right, it won't be a problem to get rid of them by jumping one or two levels."
"Okay, then listen to the boss!" Olaf nodded, and then called the people behind him to disperse quickly.
Chapter 15: Change of plan
For the whole night, no one in the village came to disturb Litt and the other two. It was the first time for the three to rest 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 the window, 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 reminded 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 left in the house before. 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'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 this.
"...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, named 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'll be cold inside if the door is open all the time. I won't bother you anymore. I'll call you when we're ready to leave."
"Okay." Litt nodded, then closed the door and went back to the house.
At this time, Lianka also woke up. 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 Litt and said hello.
"Good morning, Litt. I had a really good rest last night."
"Yeah." Litt nodded. "It's really more comfortable to live in a house in this kind of place."
"By the way, was there anyone chatting with you outside just now?" Lianka stood up and said.
"Yes, Mr. Rice from yesterday, he sent some firewood over." Litt nodded, then repeated her conversation with Rice to Lianka truthfully.
"So, Lit, you want to go hunting with them?"
"They are locals here, and they must be more familiar with this place than us. They must know where there are the most prey."
"Are you going alone? Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No." Lit shook his head. "Compared to this, I have something I want to entrust to you and Lena."
"What is it?"
"I still think this village is a bit strange, so I plan to let you two ask around in the village. Didn't Teacher Triss 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 can't answer, they may be a temporary village formed by fugitives or exiles from the south."
"If it's the latter, will it be a bit dangerous for you to go hunting with them?" Lianka said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. There are not many of them." Lit gestured 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 sounded.
"Lena? You go?" Lit and Lianka looked at Lena in disbelief, but then they both calmed down.
It seems...indeed, it would be the safest if Lena went.
After all, Lena's strength is there. If even Lena can't deal with them, Lit and Lianka will not be able to get out of it.
After thinking about it, Lit and Lianka 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 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 carried a bow and arrow.
"Are you ready?"
