My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

Lianka nodded, then looked at Rice.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Rice, to take us there."

"Ah."

The three followed Rice and Olaf and came to a wooden house. The house was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate the three women for the night.

"There is some food in the house. If you are hungry, just heat it up on the stove." Rice said this and prepared to leave with Olaf.

After thanking Rice and Olaf again, the three of them entered the cabin.

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 was going on at the moment. Seeing that Lit and Lianka looked worried, she asked in confusion: "What's the matter? We have a house to live in, shouldn't it be a good thing?"

"Well, but I'm afraid they have bad intentions," said Litt.

"Lena, think about it, in the snowfield, the most important thing is resources, right? Being able to distribute the scarce resources in the village to outsiders probably means that the people are not simple and honest. It is probably because something is wrong." Litt analyzed and explained to Lena.

"So, Brother Li Te, what you mean is... they are bad people?"

"That's not the way to say it." Lianka on the other side spoke up. "But after they brought us here, they let us live in their rooms without asking for anything. Don't you think that's a little strange?"

"You all know how the family at the entrance of the village treated us just now. Overall, this village doesn't look like one that welcomes outsiders."

"...In short, we must not let our guard down tonight. If they plan to attack us tonight, it will be dangerous."

Hearing this, Lena nodded and then raised her hand.

"Then I'll be the first to keep watch tonight."

After arranging the night watch, 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 of them, there were six or seven strong men in the house.

"Boss, why are these three women different from others in temperament? There's also a half-orc. Could they be the daughters of a wealthy family who are here to travel?" Olaf changed his previous enthusiastic look and spoke with a hint of ferocity.

"Yeah, I guess so." Rice nodded. "But they are not simple people either. We are quite far from the border. The fact that they can come here proves that they are capable. We should not act rashly or we might alert them."

"Well, why should we act rashly? Aren't we also from outside? Are we, a few grown men, afraid of those women?"

As soon as Olaf finished speaking, Rice slapped him in the face.

"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, and they are probably wary of us. We don't need to do anything. We should paralyze them first and let them relax their vigilance. Then we can find an opportunity to attack. As long as we find the right opportunity, it won't be difficult to get rid of them by jumping one or two levels."

"Okay, then we'll listen to the boss!" Olaf nodded, then called on the people behind him to disperse quickly.

Chapter 15: Change of Plan

For the entire night, no one in the village came to disturb Litt and his two companions. It was the first time that they had rested in such comfortable conditions since entering the snowfield.

The first-year mission was easy. The three only needed to survive for a certain period of time and then leave the snowfield. If the people in the village were nice, the three could continue to live in the village.

Litt raised his head, walked to the window, opened it, looked at the pale sky outside, closed the window again, and then turned around.

In the room, Lianka and Lena both slept on the floor. Even though the temperature in the room was already very high, both of them curled up to keep warm. Especially Lena, she even swept her tail in front of her body and used it as a blanket when she slept.

This cute action made Lit couldn't help but think of some small animals.

At this time, there was a slight knock on the door.

Litt hurried to the door and opened it. Rice, wearing a coat, was standing at the door with a bundle of firewood behind him.

He didn't look into the room through Lit, but gave them enough privacy and said, "Are you the only one awake now?"

"Oh, yes." Litt nodded, then asked, "What's wrong? Mr. Rice, what happened?"

"I didn't have much firewood left in my house, so I brought some from the warehouse in case you'd feel cold after using it all."

"Ah... this, no need, we have some firewood prepared, there is enough."

"Well, please help me put these firewood near the stove in the house, so that I don't have to carry them again. I've brought them to the door, please help me take them in, after all, there are differences between men and women."

"Well, okay." Litt nodded, then stood at the door, took a bundle of firewood handed over by Rice, and put it back into the house.

Rice watched Litt easily lift dozens of kilograms of firewood and put it into the house, and his heart became serious.

As he thought, the people who could come here were not ordinary people. Although she looked like a weak little girl, her strength was no less than that of an adult man, and she might even be more terrifying.

This kind of person is not even sure he can defeat him.

It seems that if we want to deal with them, we can only defeat them one by one.

As Rice thought about this, he recalled the three people he met last night.

Li Te's strength has been exposed in front of him, and he is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Then came the little girl with white hair and red eyes, who also looked like a young lady who was not someone who was 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.

Orcs are different from orcs. They don't have any talent for fighting, and their thin arms and legs prove that they are not well-nourished. Such people are probably here to do chores for the eldest lady with white hair and red eyes. It would be much easier to start with her first.

Thinking of this, Rice already had a plan in mind.

At this time, Litt put the firewood back next to the stove and then came to the door again.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Rice."

"It's okay, it's okay. The weather in places like this is bad to begin with. We humans should help each other."

"You're right." Litt smiled when he heard that.

Although he was still on guard against Rice, Rice's behavior made Litt feel somewhat favorable towards him.

Although this behavior seems a bit like being too attentive without any reason, it also has the meaning of providing timely assistance.

"By the way, are you free during the day?" Rice asked at this time.

"Why do you ask this?"

"Well... we are going out hunting during the day. If you are good at hunting, we hope you can join our team. Of course, we will not take any of the prey we get from hunting. We just hope that one more person will bring more strength."

Rice explained.

"……also."

Lit lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded.

Now she finally understood why the other party was so attentive. It turned out that it was not unconditional assistance, but was paid for.

However, Li Te couldn't refuse and had to agree.

Anyway, as Rice said, one more person means more strength. Even if they don't go out hunting with the people in the village, they will have to go out hunting on their own. In this case, they might as well go out together.

At this moment, Lit suddenly thought of something.

"That's not right. In your village, do people go hunting together?"

"Well, after all, there are animals like wolves and bears in the snow, and they are not easy to mess with."

"Then why... did Olaf come back alone last night?" Litt asked.

"Ah... this..." When Rice heard Litt's question, he was stunned. His eyes rolled around and he finally came up with an excuse.

"Olaf is quite brave, and he always gets good things when he goes out hunting alone. Just like yesterday, he caught a whole moose, which is more than what several of us got combined."

"I see. It seems that Mr. Olaf is really an extraordinary person." Litt said this intentionally or unintentionally, while secretly observing Rice's expression.

Rice also calmed down at this moment. When he heard what Litt said, he laughed twice.

"That's right. After all, Olaf is the best hunter in our village. His dog, Rado, is also the best hunting dog. The two of them could survive on their own, but they are still willing to join us. We are really grateful to him."

"Okay, we've been talking for a while, and it'll be cold inside if the door is open. I won't bother you anymore. I'll talk to you later when we're ready to leave.

I'll call you again."

"Okay." Li Te nodded, then closed the door and went back into the house.

At this time, Lianka also woke up. The cold wind blowing in from the door and the sound of two people chatting woke her up early.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, then looked at Li Te and greeted him.

"Good morning, Leeteuk. You had a really good rest last night."

"Yeah." Li Te nodded. "In a place like this, it's more comfortable to live in a house."

“By the way, was there anyone chatting with you outside just now?” Lianka stood up and said.

"Yes, Mr. Rice from yesterday. He brought some firewood." Litt nodded, and then repeated her conversation with Rice to Lianka truthfully.

"So, Lit, you're going to go hunting with them?"

"They are locals here, they must be more familiar with this place than us, and they must know where the most prey is."

"Are you going alone? Do you need me to accompany you?"

"No need." Li Te shook his head. "Rather than that, I have something I want to entrust to you and Lena."

"whats the matter?"

"I still think this village is a little weird, so I'm going 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, they may be a temporary village formed by fugitives or exiles from the South."

"If it's the latter, wouldn't it be a bit dangerous for you to go hunting with them?" Lianka said worriedly.

"It's okay, there aren't many of them." Litt signaled to Lianka to rest assured.

"No, if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Orson. Why don't I go instead?"

"What if something happens to you? How do you want me to explain to Olivia?"

"Then how about letting me go?" Just as the two were arguing, a weak voice sounded.

"Lena? You're going?" Litt and Lianka looked at Lena in disbelief, but then they both calmed down.

It seems... Indeed, it would be safest if Lena went.

After all, Lena's strength is there. If even Lena can't deal with them, it will be even more impossible for Litt and Lianka to escape.

After thinking about it, Lit and Lianka both agreed to Lena's request.

"Okay, but Lena, you have to be careful."

"I know, I'm not a child!" Seeing that the two people were so worried about her, Lena pouted and looked a little angry.

An hour later, there was another knock on the door. When Litt opened the door, Rice was standing at the door with a bow and arrow on his back.

"Are you ready?"

"Ah, I have something to do. Let Lena go with you." Litt said this, took a step to the left, and let Lena go behind him.

"Uh...but I see..." Rice was about to say something when he was interrupted by Lena.

"It's okay, uncle, don't underestimate me, I'm very strong!"

"Uncle..." Rice heard Lena's address to him, repeated it softly, and then nodded.

"In that case, let Miss Lena go with us."

As Rice said this, he gestured with one hand behind his back, indicating that the plan had changed.

He originally wanted to take Litt outside, and then let the rest of the people in the village attack Lena and Lianka, but now it seems that the plan needs to be changed. Lena should be arrested first, and then Lena should be used to force Litt and Lianka to surrender.

Haha, this saves a lot of effort.

As Rice thought about this, his eyes gradually became colder.

Chapter 16: Unsuccessful sneak attack

Late at night, Orson returned to his temporary residence. The children and the elderly who had gathered in the house had all left, leaving only Olivia and Elsa sitting together, seemingly discussing something.

"Orson, we have some information here about Lapland mythology."

Seeing Orson coming back, Olivia turned her head and looked at Orson at the door and said.

"What a coincidence! I have one too."
