Skull Forest (5)
"Octavia!" The first reaction after waking up calmly was to call her the nickname she gave to the boy, and he looked around, he was in a strange environment, and there was an old man sitting outside the house, he was chopping wood, but the speed was very slow, so far he had only cut less than half a dozen, which was not enough to make dinner.
Seeing that Calm woke up, he asked, "Are you awake." ”
"Hmm."
He nodded calmly, and then did not speak again, rubbing his hands restlessly.
The old man suddenly put down the axe in his hand and turned to look at her, "You have something on your mind......
In fact, he was calmly calling Octavia's name all the way, so he also knew that the other party was worried about his friend, but it didn't matter to him, in fact, it was an unexpected decision to save her, and as for the person who didn't know her whereabouts, the old man didn't need to bother with her.
The old man put down his hoe and walked past Calm, and went into the house and ignored her, as if she had not been there in the first place.
Calmly sat down on the stone steps where the old man was sitting just now, picked up the axe and began to chop wood.
At this time, the old man walked out, he glanced at it and said calmly, "If you recover your body and leave here, I have no intention of keeping you, and you don't have to do this for me." ”
Calmly ignored the still quietly chopping wood, and temporarily let go of his worries about the boy.
After all, his current situation is only barely like this, and it is really impossible to leave here and travel a long way to the valley.
Staying here is the only way to do it.
After the old man finished speaking, he went back to sleep, leaving calm and chopping wood outside the house alone.
Calm chopped all the firewood off, and a lot of sweat flowed on his body, which surprised Calm Calm.
Because he was almost unconscious at the moment he flew out, but now he can do this kind of physical work, which means that his injuries have been treated in a short period of time, and the only person who can be rescued by calming down from the current situation is the old man who is still sleeping in the house.
The old man woke up and saw that his composure was still there, which was completely unexpected by him.
But he still chose to ignore the calm, turned around and walked out of the courtyard to go hunting in the forest.
Seeing the old man leaving, Calm followed and walked behind the old man without hurrying or slowing, neither disrupting his frequency nor exceeding the scope of Calm Sight.
The old man knew that he was calmly following him, but he didn't care, and still walked around on his own, looking for prey to eat tonight.
But after walking for a long time, he did not find a single animal, and the forest was much quieter than when he had gone out.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask the calm who followed him, "What happened today?" ”
Before he was rescued at noon, there was a big fluctuation in the forest, but the old man had decided not to bother with the trivial matters of the world, so he did not rush out to check, but now it seems that the explosion had a lot of impact on the forest.
This place is also a foreign land for the Xiongnu clan, so no outsiders have entered here on a large scale so far, and the old man has always lived here alone.
He feeds on the animals of the forest every day and grows a lot of plants in his yard, but today he was ready, and when he walked into the yard, the plants he planted were all withered, and there were fallen charred tree trunks next to them.
Now the old man suddenly spoke calmly and didn't reflect, and he continued to walk forward stupidly, almost hitting the old man's back before stopping.
She looked at the old man and planned to figure it out first, but the old man didn't have that patience, he left directly, and said calmly with the calm who was still recalling the source behind him, "If you don't want to say it, then you don't have to follow me." ”
Calm and hurried over, but her injuries were not completely healed, so she had to hold on to the tree next to her when she caught up with the old man.
The old man glanced at him and said calmly, "You go back to the wooden house first, and then you can go back if you have something to say." ”
Then you handed her a herb and told her, "If the wound recurs, applying these to it will relieve it to a certain extent, and that's it." ”
calmly bowed to the old man, but the other party did not look back at her and went directly to the distance.
Calmly took the herbs and returned to the wooden house.
She couldn't help but clean it when she saw the mess around her, but the old man's room had not been cleaned since it was built, so it was a mess, and even the straw and firewood left over from the construction of the house were piled up in a corner of the house.
Calmly moved all those things out, and the room was immediately much larger, and now it was possible to add another person to live in it.
