The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Night Talk

Night fell.

Sejuani poured the leftover fish bones into the sea, and carefully collected the ashes from the burnt firewood, and put them in her bag.

Ashe watched Sejuani’s movements curiously: “What are you doing?”

Sejuani was just about to explain, but Lothar interrupted: “The ash of non-damp wood has many effects, such as repelling insects, stopping bleeding, making spices, and some shamans even use it as medicine.”

Sejuani gave Lothar a disgusted look: “Who told you to show off your poor knowledge!”

Lothar stuck out her tongue and didn’t quarrel with Sejuani.

Ashe kept staring at Yu Hui, thinking that there are still many things in this world she doesn’t know.

“Where did he learn it?” Ashe always felt that Lothar seemed to know a lot, but no one in the tribe had ever taught him. “You must ask him if you have the opportunity.”

Seeing that Lothar didn’t want to quarrel with her, Sejuani felt that there was no place to vent her anger. If it wasn’t for Ashe who was by her side, she might just start beating her up.

“Sleep!” Sejuani took out two sets of animal skin sleeping bags from the cabin, and stuffed one for Ashe.

“What about mine?” Lothar asked.

“There are only two sets!” Sejuani threw down a sentence, put herself into a sleeping bag, and lay down on the bow of the boat, keeping the furthest distance from Lothar.

Ashe handed the sleeping bag to Lothar: “Use it, I have the blood of ice, and I am not afraid of the cold.”

“Forget it, I’ll sleep under a layer of clothes.” Lothar returned the sleeping bag to Ashe.

“No way!” Ashe handed the sleeping bag to Lothar forcefully. “Your injuries haven’t healed yet. What if you get sick again? Do you want me to worry more?”

Lothar glanced at the sleeping bag in his hand: “Thank you.”

“Thank you so much between you and me.” Ashe stroked Lothar’s messy black hair, and kissed him lightly at the corner of his mouth, “Have a good rest, Sejuani and I will sleep together.”

“Why don’t you sleep next to me?” Lothar smiled slyly.

Ai Xi pinched Lothar’s face fiercely, and pinched Lothar until he screamed: “You little pervert, when are you still thinking about this kind of thing, haven’t you been sleeping with you every day these days. ”

Lothar rubbed his face aggrievedly: “Understood, you can go to sleep.”

“OK, good night.”

Seeing Lothar lying down obediently, Ashe walked back to the bow and found Sejuani staring straight at her.

“What’s wrong”

“It’s nothing.” Sejuani lay back and opened the animal skin sleeping bag. “Come in.”

“Thank you.” Ashe pressed against Sejuani tightly.Into the sleeping bag, “won’t it burst?”

“Winter’s Claw is made by the best leatherworker, don’t worry.” Sejuani replied.

Ai Xi changed her position and found that she was uncomfortable sleeping, so she said a little embarrassedly, “Can I hug you to sleep?”

“certainly.”

Ashe wrapped her arms around Sejuani’s shoulders, and found that the girl she was holding was stronger than she looked.

“Good night.” Ashe said, closing her eyes.

After a while, Ashe noticed that her ears were itching, and it was Sejuani whispering in her ear.

“Are you still awake”

Ashe opened her eyes, Sejuani’s beautiful green eyes were looking at her, and the moonlight poured into her pupils, shining brightly.

“What’s wrong?” Ashe also asked in a low voice.

“You and…” Sejuani hesitated, “What is your relationship with that wolf cub?”

Ashe didn’t expect Sejuani to ask this question, her face was a little hot: “Can’t you see that Lothar… is my chosen future blood alliance.”

Hearing Ashe’s answer with her own ears, Sejuani felt her chest tighten, and an unknown fire rose from her eyes: “You are crazy! He is a warm-blooded person! He is still crippled!”

“But he protected me with his life.” Ai Xi had a warm smile on his face, “He is the boy who cares about me the most in the world. If I don’t choose him, who else would I choose?”

Sejuani was dumbfounded.

After a long time, Sejuani said coldly: “Are you sure you want to choose him? Do you know that your child probably won’t be an Iceborn?”

Ashe blinked her eyes, and the moonlight and Luxue wet her silver eyelashes: “I don’t care if it’s Iceblood or Furuto, to me, as long as it’s someone I love, it’s all the same.”

Sejuani patted Ashe’s face angrily: “Your brain must have been frozen by Zhenbing.”

Ashe shook her head amusedly: “Don’t talk about me, do you have a boy you like?”

Sejuani curled her lips in disdain: “There are quite a few boys with ice blood in my tribe, but none of them are attractive.”

“No way, isn’t there any?”

“No, they are all a bunch of worthless people. This time I went out to hunt. Many boys wanted to come with me in order to please me, but when they knew that I was going to the bear hunting ground, all of them were scared.” Sejuani With a look of hating iron but not steel, “With them like that, the future of Winter’s Claw is over.”

“They haven’t grown up yet. When they grow up and can hold Zhenbing weapons, they should become brave.” Ashe comforted.

“I hope.” Sejuani sighed, and looked at Ashe again, “You really want to choose that crippled wolf cub.”

“real.”

“No regrets”

“Why should I regret it?”

“Madman.” After Sejuani finished speaking, she turned her back to Ashe.

Ashe hugged Sejuani’s back: “Thank you for caring about my future, but this is my choice, and I will accept all fate with my head held high.”

Sejuani didn’t reply.

Ashe buried her head in Sejuani’s back and fell asleep.

…

“Look, ahead is the place where my tribe lives temporarily.” Sejuani stood on the bow of the boat, pointing to the firelight on the shore.

“Are you there?” Ashe lifted her head from Lothar’s shoulder, looking sleepily at the direction Sejuani pointed to.

“We’ll be there soon, you can still sleep for a while.” Lothar kissed Ashe’s smooth forehead lightly.

“Hmm…” Ashe obediently leaned her head on Lothar’s shoulder again and fell asleep.

Lothar felt a cold gaze, and when he looked up, Sejuani looked at him with an unfriendly expression.

“Let her sleep a little longer. Ashe hasn’t had a good rest for many days.” Lothar whispered, “To take care of me, the wounded.”

Ever since Lothar was injured, Ashe hasn’t had a good night’s sleep. Even sleeping with Lothar is just a light nap, beware of the danger that may come at night.

Ashe thought that Lothar hadn’t noticed, but Lothar had always noticed everything.

After being able to sleep peacefully on the boat, Ashe’s fatigue accumulated for many days suddenly broke out, and she slept from the night before until the next afternoon without waking up.

After listening to Lothar’s explanation, Sejuani snorted, said nothing, and stopped looking at Lothar.

Lothar vaguely heard Sejuani’s voice, and combined with the shape of his lips, Lotha easily guessed what Sejuani said.

“Trash.”

Don’t even think about it, this is for him. ————————————————————————————————————

The appearance of ice bloodlines is relatively random. Usually, a couple with ice bloodlines has a high probability of giving birth to a child with ice bloodlines, but there are also examples of giving birth to ordinary people. If only one of the husband and wife is of ice blood, then there is a high probability that the child will not be of ice blood, and it is almost impossible for a pair of ordinary people to give birth to ice blood. Therefore, in the Freljord tribe with ice blood, the intermarriage of ice blood is often relatively fixed, and they will basically choose a spouse who is also of ice blood, regardless of whether there is a foundation of love.
