Juliana’s workshop Chapter 35: Visitors at night


   After a short period of time, the stars in the sky became brighter and brighter, and the new moon hung high above the sky. The smell of the powder that Lulunaka sprinkled into the bonfire drifted away a long time ago, and it did not have much impact on Julius and others, and it made Julius very puzzled that Lulunaka was playing tricks. Is this really used for repellent? The smell that drifted away with the wind did not stay near the convoy at all, and there was no follow-up smell that continued to emanate from the campfire. This can really drive away the bugs that disturb people’s rest, even bite you, and bring venom. ?

   Julius had such doubts in his heart. As for the others, he couldn’t tell the truth from their faces. No matter it was Olga, Padin, or Romeo Na, they didn’t seem to care, at least on the surface they didn’t care what Lulunaka did. Only he can tell what he is thinking directly from his face. The boy who came out of this village was a simple and simple person.

   There is no fun in the long night, especially in the forest. The forest of the dead in the dark is not as gloomy and terrible as imagined, but it seems very calm. Even in the east, far from the range of human activities, the night seemed a bit too calm. The howls of distant beasts and the gusts of wind are already most of the movement in this forest. The insect repellent powder that Lulunaka sprinkled in the fire seemed to have an effect. No insects were heard near the convoy, but Julius would still catch a few ladybugs on his arm, or slap it all the time. Unlucky little bug.

   Julius threw these unlucky bugs into the campfire, and there was a crackling sound from the campfire. It was the sound of worms being scorched, and the appearance of these worms being burnt to ashes after falling into the fire can be clearly seen. Watching the worms burned to death, Julius began to think whether his body was too dirty to cause the worms, or because Lulunaka’s so-called insect repellent powder didn’t work? But looking at the appearance of the other three people, it seems that no bugs bother them. Is it really his own cause? Maybe he should wash his body well, but in a place like the Forest of the Dead, it is quite difficult to find a safe water source for bathing; when it rains, that is an option, but he has to be naked in front of a young girl, and there is no one else. It takes a little courage for Julius to wash his body with rainwater.

   While Julius was struggling with her own hygiene problems, Lulunaka still stayed alone by a campfire. The depilatory dog ​​squatted at her feet, closed his eyes, and looked like he was asleep. Lulunaka set up a small iron pot on the blazing campfire. The small iron pot was also part of the convoy, the same rough, and the same full of iron bumps. I don’t know what is being cooked in the small iron pot, and the sound of liquid bubbles bursting out and breaking is constantly coming out. Lulu Naka held a clean slender wooden stick and stirred it in a small iron pan.

   When Julius in the front saw Lulunaka set up a small iron pan, at first she thought she was going to open a small stove to get some personal food, but waited until the bottom of the small iron pan was hot. At that time, his mind changed. He didn’t smell the smell of food, so Lulunaka shouldn’t be preparing food. So what is she cooking?

   Julius was curious, but because of his prejudice against Lulunaka-about whether she was a cannibal witch-he didn’t dare to lean over, in case she saw her cooking her fingers or Things like toes, then Julius will probably have a nightmare tonight. Coupled with Lulunaka’s earlier laugh at Julius for being a rotten wood, Julius is still sulking, and at the same time, until now, she has not spoken to Lulunaka. . At this moment, Julius hadn’t figured out how to have a chance to talk with Lulunaka again.

   Julius’ troubles may be just being affectionate. His so-called sulking, in fact, has not been taken care of by Lulunaka at all. Compared to Julius’ emotions, Lulunaka’s thoughts seemed to be placed in the small iron pot before her eyes. The lid of the pot was lifted up by the rising steam, and then fell back. The lid and the edge of the wok were continuously clutched, and the sound of the collision of irons continued to be heard in the convoy and the forest, like a musical instrument playing a tune.

   “A peaceful night.” Lulunaka continued to stroke Ward’s head. Only this part of Ward’s body still has a little hair, because its claws can’t scratch the top of the head, and can only grab the hair around the neck. If it rubs off the hair on its head by rolling the floor, it will probably have to be trained by Lulunaka, because it is too dirty to do so, and Lulunaka does not think that she is a person who does not pay attention to hygiene.

   Ward remained motionless, letting his master touch his only part of his fur.

  ” I finally got you a fake dog skin and fur, but you don’t like it, as if the clothes are itchy or sultry… You are an artificial mechanical dog, where is this kind of It feels like, I obviously didn’t add this kind of function to you. No, it’s been a while since I made you, right? Maybe I added extra functions to you because of interest and curiosity. Then I forgot, it is also possible.”

   Lulunaka’s hand touched Ward’s chin, and after scratching him for a while, she continued to touch down and touched Ward’s belly. Ward’s belly is very soft, it feels like a layer of silk wrapped in water, but only on the fur. The part of Ward that was cut out by Padin and exposed the silver body was cold to the touch, which was exactly the temperature that a dead object would have.

   There was a babble between Lulunaka and her dog—in fact, she was talking to Ward by herself. Ward is a dog, and she can’t speak even if she is spiritual— Time passed slowly in this way, until the night became thicker.

   Olga thought it was time to rest. He said to Romeo Na, “Oona, you should rest.”

   Romeuona nodded, but did not leave immediately, “Wait a little longer.”

   Olga noticed that Romyona’s gaze had been resting on Lulunaka not far away. Lulunaka looked lazy, but she didn’t seem to have any plans to go to bed. The small iron pot she put on the campfire was still steaming, and no one knew what was being cooked in it.

   Julius, who is beside him, has already started to doze, but he is still holding on. As for Padin, like Olga, he needs to be responsible for guarding at night, Olga is in the first half of the night, and Padin is in the second half of the night. Not only the two of them, but also a dog that actually doesn’t need sleep at all, but is always lying on its stomach, as if asleep, will also accompany them.

   Olga and Padin take turns to watch the night to protect the team, as well as Romeo Na and Julius, two young girls who are not very defensive. As for Lulunaka, she doesn’t need to be protected. Her work and rest are very irregular, sometimes she is already asleep, but sometimes she can stay all night long, or she doesn’t know where she went. In the middle of the night, she seemed to have turned into a shadow and melted into the shadow.

   When Olga started to urge Romeo Na and Julius to go to rest again, Lulunaka discovered a little situation~ IndoMTL.com~ It can’t be said that it’s small, but it’s actually enough. Let Olga put his hand on the sheathed longsword resting on the side.

   The caravan parked on the side of the road. The road was not wide and looked a bit narrow. The trees on both sides of the road were slightly deformed. It looked like a pair of weird hands at night, which were fairly flat from both sides. The road stretched over, as if asking for something.

   Among the pair of deformed “strange hands”, a figure walked out of it. Under the light of the bonfire, the figure seemed to flicker, and the flame of the wood fire could not fully illuminate the uninvited guest who was not near the bonfire.

   This figure is not tall, it’s just the figure of an ordinary adult man, and his steps are a little wobbly. It should have been leaning over here when he saw the light. When this figure approached, Xiang, the real face was finally seen clearly.

   This is a man in half-length armor. This man has a tired and restless face, without a helmet, and a flat-headed hairstyle that makes him look a little more vigorous. The blue-gray armor on his body was stained with a lot of mud, and he looked like he was rolling in the mud. The skirt armor strung by the iron pieces is missing the big piece in front, it is just like it was bitten off, maybe it was scraped off by something, maybe even a large piece of flesh from his lower body can be ripped off, instead of just some. The piece of iron left him with two complete thighs and pants.

   He looked a little embarrassed, holding a two-handed sword with a rolled edge and a crack in his hand. When he saw Lulunaka, the guard on his face was obviously much less.

  Lulunaka stood up and greeted the man who appeared suddenly. “Hello, is there anything I can help?”

   Even when facing a stranger, Lulunaka still keeps smiling, as if welcoming another guest.
