What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Ren Sha's eyes were innocent and confused, as if he really didn't hear anything.

Gu Xunzhi felt that he should be angry, or at least disappointed.But maybe because he has already gotten used to the slowness of his senior brother, so his mood is still very calm, so calm that even he himself finds it a bit inconceivable:

"It's nothing."

If it was a different person, he would definitely ask Gu Xunzhi what he said just now, but Ren Xun didn't have as much curiosity as a human being. Although he could sense Gu Xunzhi's emotional changes, he couldn't understand the meaning.He was a little confused, but it hadn't occurred to him that he could get an answer by asking.

But at the moment, Ren Xun's mind is not here, he is thinking about more urgent things at the moment:

In the past, when they traveled together, even if they were on their way, they would always end up in places where there were people. It had never been like this time, they kept going to places where there were no people.Now it was getting late, and dark clouds began to pile up in the sky again, and there were no homes in the wilderness. From this point of view, we must sleep in the open at night.

They have been out for such a long time, and they have always tried to find a place to borrow at night, and they have never slept outside.Ren Sha can cut a green donkey out of paper, and it doesn't take too much trouble to cut a house.It's just that they came out this time to obtain the inner alchemy of the snake demon. It seems that they should be more careful in their actions.But if Gu Xunzhi was caught in the rain while sleeping at night, the situation might be even worse.

Ren Xun was thinking about what to do better, but suddenly saw a wisp of cooking smoke rising from the clouds.

Where there is cooking smoke, there must be a family. Ren Xun's spirit was shaken, and he urged Gu Xun to hurry to the place where the cooking smoke was. They were afraid that if they walked too slowly, they would look for it again after the family finished cooking. Not anymore.

They were lucky, the family was not far away, and after a short walk, they saw a hut in front of them.

The hut looks very narrow from the outside, it cannot accommodate too many people, and there are no fields around it.This is obviously not an ordinary farm house, but a temporary house for hunters to live in while hunting.In front of the house, there is a temporary earthen stove. The fire has not been completely extinguished, and it is still smoking.

However, Ren Xun and Gu Xunzhi were not that particular. In this kind of place, as long as they had a place to live, they were satisfied. It was almost completely dark at this moment, so it was time to find a place to rest.

Ren Xun helped Gu Xunxia get off the donkey again, went to the door and knocked.

Ren Xun is not very good at dealing with people, and she usually relies on Gu Xunzhi for asking people to stay overnight.Gu Xunzhi knocked on the door a few times, but when there was no sound from inside, he stood at the door and shouted loudly:

"We are passers-by, passing through your mansion, hoping to stay overnight, please open the door."

In this wilderness, there is not a single pedestrian in sight for more than ten miles.Even if there are some human-shaped things, they are probably ghosts and foxes.Gu Xunzhi yelled loudly to reassure the people inside.Although his voice is a little old, but it has a gentle and elegant temperament, which makes people feel at ease.

Gu Xunzhi's prediction was indeed right. After he finished shouting, he heard footsteps coming from the house, and the door in front of him opened immediately, and a woman dressed as a hunter appeared at the door.

The two of them were surprised that the person living here alone was actually a hunter.

The girl was very beautiful, although she lived in this remote and uninhabited place, her skin was very white and greasy, and she didn't look like she had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time.Gu Xunzhi felt that this female hunter was a little weird, so he turned his head and glanced at Ren Xun, meeting his gaze.

Gu Xunzhi just thought she was weird, but Ren Xun saw that this female hunter was not an ordinary person, but a monster in the mountains.She seemed to deliberately hide the truth, so that Ren Zhen couldn't see it at a glance.Although Ren Xun could also use spells to investigate, but using spells was too troublesome and easy to be seen, so Ren Xun didn't take any action, but just winked at Gu Xunzhi.

The two stood at the door and looked at each other, and they understood each other's thoughts.The hunter was a little dissatisfied, and said coldly:

"If you have nothing to do, I will close the door."

After hearing this sentence, Gu Xunzhi felt that the temperament of this female hunter was a bit like that of his senior brother, so he couldn't help but glance at Ren Xun again, and then he apologized to her and said with a smile:

"No, no, we are staying here. There is really no other place to live near here. Please take us in for a night."

Gu Xunzhi was worried that the owner of the house would ask them why they came to such a remote place, and he had already prepared a set of excuses in his heart.Unexpectedly, the hunter didn't ask him these things, but frowned and said:

"It's not that I'm stingy. Look, there's no room for people to sleep in my room? Besides, I'm a woman, so it's not easy for me to be squeezed together with you two big men."

Said the Orion, opening the door so they could see into the house.Gu Xunzhi looked inside, and saw that the room was originally narrow, and there were still many tanned or untanned leathers stored, which filled the whole room.It is indeed a little bit reluctant to keep people for accommodation.But if you have to squeeze, it's not impossible to squeeze at all.

Seeing this, Gu Xunzhi begged:

"Look at the sky outside. It might rain in a while. I'm such an old bone, I can't bear it. Even if you make a corner, we can deal with it for one night no matter what."

The female hunter looked at the sky outside, and seemed to feel a little compassion, but still hesitated.At this time, it was unclear whether it was intentional or unintentional, Ren Xun took half a step forward.His face, which had been in shadow, was now illuminated by the lights in the room.

Only then did the female hunter raise her head, glanced at Ren Xun who had been silent just now, and looked surprised when she saw his face.But she concealed it very well, the expression just flashed by, she quickly lowered her eyes, stepped aside, and said:

"come in."

Gu Xunzhi was surprised at how the woman's attitude changed so quickly, and when he turned around and saw Ren Xiao's handsome face, he suddenly realized.Now that he had a residence, he naturally wouldn't say anything superfluous, but just thanked the hunter a thousand times.The Orion didn't say much, just shook her head casually.

Once inside the house they could see better.Because the place is small, there is no bed at all in this room.There is only a straw bunk that can sleep one person, and on it is a mattress made of rabbit skins.Obviously the expensive furs should be kept for sale, and the hunter herself only used the rabbit skins which could not be sold at a high price.There is a very small table in another corner, and there is a lamp on it. The lamp is the size of a bean, and it feels like it will go out as long as there is a gust of wind.

Ren Zhen and Gu Xunzhi helped the huntress to pile up the furs she had hoarded, and made room for the two of them indoors.The Orion thought for a while, and then pulled out a bear skin from among the fur goods:

"This is for you to spread on the floor, so that you won't be cold when you sleep at night."

Gu Xunzhi looked at the rabbit fur mattress that the female hunter used herself, and felt that it was not good, so he just accepted the other party's kindness.

Seeing his hesitation, the hunter forced the bear skin onto his hand:

"It's all right, I don't need it anyway. Bearskin is warmer."

Gu Xunzhi thanked the hunter and spread the bear skin on a corner of the room.

Ever since Gu Xunzhi knocked on the door, Ren Xun hadn't said anything.After entering the house, he found a corner with the darkest light and sat down, quietly observing the banshee dressed as a hunter.

Although the banshee decided to let the two of them in because of his pretty face, she didn't seem to care about his gaze at all, she just lowered her head and went about her own business, busy sewing two pieces of rabbit skin together with a needle and thread, Like an ordinary woman who hunts for a living.

Although the banshee didn't seem to notice Ren Xiao's gaze at all, Gu Xunzhi did.

Ren Zhen was sitting next to him, he didn't speak, but kept looking at the woman across from him.

Gu Xunzhi had already noticed that something was wrong with the woman, but he still couldn't tell what was wrong.He looked at Ren Sha worriedly, wondering what his eyes meant, whether he saw something that he didn't see at all.

Sensing Gu Xunzhi's gaze, Ren Zhen didn't turn her head to look at him, but reached out and held his hand.This gave Gu Xunzhi a little more confidence, but some uneasiness still rose in his heart.He wanted to say something to Ren Sha, but the room was too small, no matter what kind of whispers would be heard, they couldn't even exchange a single word behind their master's back.

Right now the hostess was doing her needlework, and Ren Xun was watching the hostess in the darkness in the corner. This feeling was actually very strange. Both of them seemed very rude and indifferent, but they didn't seem to feel it.Only one of Gu Xun was stiff and embarrassed here, feeling as if he was superfluous.

But he didn't want to go outside in this kind of weather. It was raining outside. Although it didn't seem too heavy, he could already hear the pattering sound, the moisture began to transpire, and the room was filled with the smell of rainwater and mud , Gu Xunzhi felt his knees began to ache. Fortunately, there was a big and warm bearskin that could wrap his legs. No matter what, he didn't want to move at all.

But what if you don't leave?At this moment, the awkward atmosphere here was almost unbearable for Gu Xunzhi.As the least strange person here, Gu Xunzhi felt that he had the responsibility to think of a way.

He cleared his throat, ready to say something to the hostess, even if it was a meaningless chat, it was better than just doing it.He was going to ask a question first, like asking her why she lived here alone.It doesn't matter if she doesn't answer, at least it can break this awkward silence.

I don't know if the hostess on the opposite side had insight into his thoughts, but before he could ask, the hostess on the opposite side spoke first:

"You...why did you come to this wilderness?"

The author has something to say: To protect wild animals, hunting is illegal in our country. [serious face]

But after all, this is...an ancient different world, so it doesn't matter.Yes, it is like that.
