Because he had been hit by a snowball before,
So this time, Lin Shao was also prepared,
He reacted quickly and dodged with a tilt of his head.
But he forgot that he was standing on the edge of the slope,
When his head tilted, his center of gravity was not very stable, and he could not control himself and fell backward,
With a thud, he fell onto the snow.
Fortunately, this place was not considered high,
The snow below was also very thick,
Lin Shao fell onto the snow, it was not a big deal,
He sat on the spot and patted the snow off his body,
He watched as Zhangyou nimbly jumped down from above.
It stared at him closely,
Then she added to him, "I really do love you," she said.
Have been waiting for you for a long time. "
"Ah?" Lin Shao was a little puzzled. When he wanted to continue speaking, Chōyou interrupted him.
"I saw something strange appear on the snow, and I thought something was coming..." it turned around and waved at Lin Shao, saying, "Since you are the messenger,
Don't talk nonsense, come in with me. "
？？？
Enter where?
Lin Shao watched Chōyou suddenly open a small door from the snow-covered rock wall. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the place it lived in was built against the rock wall,
If one did not look carefully, one might not be able to tell.
However, this was the first time he had seen someone willing to let him in without a guide, and after revealing his identity as a messenger,
And its attitude was not bad,
Lin Shao patted the snow off his body,
After hesitating for a moment, he bent down and entered.
Because Chōyou was much smaller than him, the place it lived in was naturally not as big. Everything was small, like the house of a dwarf in a fairy tale.
Lin Shao walked in carefully, afraid that he would break something.
It was quite dark inside. Lin Shao only got used to the dim light after a while, and carefully looked at the situation in the room.
There were very few things. In the corner, there was a bed piled up with a few wooden planks. On top of the bed, there was some dry straw. The quilt was made up of pieces of fur from an unknown animal.
There was a small table and a few stools. There was a stove in front of the room to keep warm, so the room was not as cold as the outside. It also seemed a little brighter.
As soon as Chōyou came in, he put on the thick, multi-colored quilt and leaned against the stove to warm himself. He looked at Lin Shao and took the initiative to ask, "How are you going to help me?
Show me now. "
Lin Shao was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had encountered such a straightforward person. But now was indeed the time to rush, so he didn't talk nonsense. He took out the things he had prepared long ago.
It had been snowing all this time and there was no sun, so photovoltaic charging would not work. Lin Shao prepared the lighting equipment with batteries.
Fortunately, the room was small and did not need too many lights. One was enough.
Lin Shao installed the light on the ceiling. After he turned it on, the room immediately became a lot brighter.
As the light was turned on, Chōyou's eyes lit up, as if he was looking forward to it.
Lin Shao also prepared something to keep him warm in his space.
He didn't know Chōyou was so small before. After he put on the long down jacket he bought for Chōyou, it was a lot longer. But it was a lot warmer when he wrapped it up.
When Lin Shao helped him put on the jacket, Chōyou was very obedient and let Lin Shao help him put it on.
After a while, Chōyou took the initiative to shrink his whole body into the down jacket.
"It's very warm." There was a hint of a smile in his tender voice. "I like this."
Lin Shao heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
He regained his optimism and thought that the most difficult part of the mission was to find Chōyou. After that, there shouldn't be any more obstacles. After all, it was just to keep warm during the winter.
During this time, Lin Shao added a lot of things to Chōyou's house.
He replaced the simple wooden bed with a more comfortable and warm one. Because there was little sunlight here, it was a pity that he couldn't use photovoltaic energy to heat the house. But Lin Shao remembered that when he was a child, he also burned charcoal to heat the house. He just had to pay attention to the ventilation.
In addition to making a simple fireplace for warmth, Lin Shao also brought food for Chōyou every day. After all, hot food could also dispel the cold.
Chōyou covered himself with a quilt and changed his clothes. Even when he went out, he didn't feel cold. He was fully equipped.
However, even after Lin Tuo completed all these tasks according to the system's requirements, the quest interface remained silent for a few days.
At first, he thought that maybe he didn't do enough, so he brought a lot of things. Chōyou accepted them one by one and was very happy. When he asked if he needed anything else, he shook his head and said that it was enough.
It took him a week to find Chōyou. After he found him, it took him a few days. Now, there were only five days left for the mission, but Lin Shao didn't have a clue.
He had tried staying in Chōyou's snow mountain for the past few days. There was no problem with staying warm during the winter. What else was missing?
Seeing that the mission time was ticking away, Lin Shao was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
That afternoon, Lin Shao went to Chōyou's mountain alone to reinforce Chōyou's house. When he turned around, he could see Chōyou playing in the snow. Because of the clothes that Lin Shao put on for Chōyou, Chōyou didn't hide in the house because it was too cold. Instead, he was very willing to go out and play.
Because Chōyou's body was small, the clothes that Lin Shao gave him outside were bought from a children's clothing store. Nowadays, children's clothing was more exquisite than adult clothes. The clothes that Chōyou wore today were embroidered with cartoon characters. Looking at him from the back, he looked like a naive child.
He was building a snowman. Lin Shao taught him how to do it. He saw it on TV and even found a picture of it to show Chōyou.
After Chōyou learned how to build a snowman, he quickly learned how to do it on his own. He was quite talented at building snowmen. First, he built a fat, round snowman that Lin Shao taught him. He used branches as his nose and eyes. After a while, he built a new snowman. Chōyou made the new snowman look like himself. The thin limbs were replaced by branches, and it looked very lively as it snuggled up to the fat snowman next to it.
After he finished building the snowman, Chōyou stood to the side and admired it for a while. He seemed to think that it was a good pile. He turned around and ran to Lin Shao's side. He pulled on his clothes and asked him to take a look.
"It's a good pile," Lin Shao said as he helped Chōyou adjust his hat. He then asked, "Are you the only Chōyou living on this mountain?"
Lin Shao was still thinking about the mission. He wondered if he hadn't discovered the other Chōyou living on Chōyou Mountain and had missed the target of the mission. That was why he hadn't completed the mission.
"Yes," Chōyou nodded. "Not only this, but I am also the last Chōyou in the entire Mountain and Sea Realm."
"Oh?
Why? "
"You know that we are creatures of misfortune," Chōyou said calmly as he sat down. "Emissary, you also know that the Far North wasn't like this. It was because I came here that the snow didn't stop.
Because of this misfortune, my clan lived alone. It wasn't that we didn't want to live together. If two Chōyou appeared together, the flood would be even worse. My clan didn't have any way to avoid the floods, so we were forced to live alone.
In the long run, Chōyou became fewer and fewer … "
From its words, Lin Tuo also understood the reason behind it.
Because of this misfortune, Chōyou couldn't live together with other Chōyou, which made it difficult for the clan to reproduce. At the same time, other Chōyou clans had been banished from other clans. They didn't have a fixed residence, and the living conditions were very poor. If they had any other choice, they wouldn't have moved to the Far North.
"When my clan moved to the Far North, there were only three of us left, including me. Because of our misfortune, we all lived separately. However, the weather in the Far North is very bad, and hunting is very difficult. I haven't seen any of them since last year.
Therefore, I am the last Chōyou. "
Chōyou's voice was still tender, but the truth was very cruel.
Lin Shao felt a little distressed, so he reached out and hugged Chōyou. Chōyou was small, so it was very light. He patted his back to comfort him.
"It's okay," Lin Shaodao said, "Since the System sent me here, as the Messenger, I won't let you live the same life as before."
Although they were a clan with misfortune, they couldn't control what it brought. The so-called flood not only hurt other clans, but it also hurt the Chōyou clan even more.
"Will you leave?
Wait until this mission is over. "
Chōyou, who was curled up in Lin Shao's arms, looked at the bracelet on his hand and whispered, "I don't mean to make you fail the mission, but …"
"Regardless of whether this mission is successful or not, I won't leave you alone."
Lin Shao's words were true. All of his previous mission targets had interacted with each other after the mission was completed. Even if there weren't any new missions, Lin Shao would still visit them when he had the chance. After all, the increase in favorability wasn't for nothing.
He always felt that he had a responsibility after he was bound to the System.
However, although Lin Shao had promised him, there really wasn't any change in the mission.
