Chapter 43: The Cabin
The sound of the flute led everyone to a wooden house, but the melody was still there, but the player never appeared, except for a young woman busy around the house, and when she got closer, she saw that she was drying her clothes.
Wonderful, Ricky was excited to see the house, and went up to greet the girl, hoping to find out from her the whereabouts of Marta: "Girl, is this your home?" Can we come in and rest for a while? ”
It stands to reason that Ricky's question was fine. But the girl didn't know why, probably because it was a remote place and rarely met outsiders, and as soon as she heard Ricky greet her like this, she was surprised to find that there were so many people standing in front of her, and at once she ran back to the hut without even finishing her clothes, and closed the door tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes in the corner of the window to secretly look at everyone.
Hehe, it seems that she is really a mountain girl, as simple as this forest, but there is no unruly barbarism.
Seeing this, everyone laughed, so they sent Xiao An over, women should always talk better with each other, not to mention that Xiao An is not the kind of female bachelor with a dead face.
"Girl, open the door!" Xiao An knocked on the door a few times, "We didn't have any malice, we just came halfway to find a lost friend, and we got lost." Can you let us rest our feet first? We'll give you the money! ”
"Squeak-"
The door opened.
"Where did you come from?" The girl's eyes were still with the embankment, but her accent had a strong Nordic accent, which made everyone very strange.
"We are a university archaeological team from Mexico, and we rested for a few days in the pasture outside the forest, but because we were unfamiliar with the place, we lost our companions, so we tried our luck in this forest!" Ricardo smiled with a friendly smile.
"Oh, then, come in! It's just that my house is small, so don't be too crowded! The girl opened the door, and the man stepped forward, using body language to tell everyone that they were allowed to enter. But her expression was still very cautious, probably thinking that there were so many of them anyway, if they didn't open it, they would also forcibly break in.
When I entered this room, I found that it was exactly the same as what I saw from the outside, warm logs, and furniture objects made by the owner using the original ecology, although it was far away from the crowd, it was also a pleasure to live here. There are certainly no famous brands, but as a place for basic human survival, it has everything it should have.
"Girl, you've got you cleaned up well here!" The professor took the coffee from the girl, and the others began to sit casually at the long table, slowly tasting the coffee that the girl had just brewed. The professor took a sip and thought it was good, so he continued to talk to the girl, "Girl, why are you the only one here?" Why didn't I see anyone else? By the way, have you ever seen a girl who is about the same age as you, maybe a little older than you, and looks like, oh, by the way, I have a picture of her here, you wait a minute. With that, the professor pulled out his phone and found Marta and gave it to the girl, "How is it?" Has she ever been to this forest? Have you seen her? ”
The girl picked up the phone and looked at it carefully, then returned it to the professor and shook her head at everyone blankly.
"Don't you know? That's okay, have you heard that a girl named Marta came into this woods? The professor continued to follow the rules.
"No, I've never heard that name. I've been looking after my house for the past few days, and my family has gone out to dump wood! The girl looked at everyone, and her eyes were clear.
"Oh, yes, it's not the right time for us to come, it's a real trouble for you!" The professor said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're not bad guys, no matter how much I can entertain you! That's what my parents told me when they left! ”
"Really? That's really thankful! However, how can you tell if we are good or bad? The professor asked her with great interest, although she hadn't found Marta yet, it would be nice to have a place to rest and catch her breath.
Unexpectedly, the girl's answer was very surprising, "I can't tell!" My parents told me that people's hearts are the hardest to guess, so every time they went out to leave me alone, they would help me prepare some drugs to use against those with ulterior motives! ”
Well, this answer was really confusing, and after a while, Xiao An came up with a question to ask the girl, "By the way, girl, you don't have a voice like someone who has lived in the local area for a long time, and we heard the sound of the flute from a long distance, but when we came to you, we didn't see you blowing, what the hell is going on?" ”
yes, that's a question that everyone wants to know.
"Yes, I came here from Northern Europe with my parents, but we've actually been here for many years, but we've been in the woods all the time, and I don't have much contact with people, and I only occasionally watch local news and programs, and at most I just chat with people online for a while, so my English may not be very good!" The girl replied, and then she replied in detail to the second question: "As for the flute, I actually turned on the stereo when I was bored at home alone, and the reason why you can hear it from a long distance is actually because my father installed stereos in many trees in the forest, which led to this effect!" ”
Ah, I see, I'll really enjoy it. Then, according to their family's thinking, it is estimated that in addition to the stereo, there should also be some recording equipment placed on those trees, so that every natural sound can be recorded.
After talking, everyone showed their identity to the girl, and the girl also told everyone that her name is Xiaolu, and she has lived in the forest with her family since she was a child, and rarely has contact with outsiders, so sometimes she may be a little dull when meeting strangers. As for her hometown, she actually has no impression, for her, it doesn't matter which country she is a citizen of, as long as she can be given the green oxygen she has always relied on for survival, that will work.
Midori is a diligent girl. That's right, under the tense and busy pace of life, a large group of lazy men and women have been raised, and the seemingly lazy life in the woods needs to do everything by themselves, Xiaolu is well educated by her family, even if her parents are not at home, she can take good care of herself, and even took out a large table of delicious food for everyone like a trick, so that everyone is a little surprised in gratitude, how can such a young girl have these virtuous and virtuous qualities?
After eating, Xiao An was still reminiscing about the fresh seasons that can only be eaten in the forest, Xiao Lu had already prepared the room, just waiting for everyone to check in: "It's late today, if you want to go out to find friends again, it's very dangerous." Don't say it's you, even if we have lived here for so long, we don't dare to run around alone at night. I don't know if you've heard from people outside the forest that white beasts occasionally run out of this forest, and although I haven't heard of any records of hurting people, it's not afraid of human shots! ”
Oh, it turns out that this white beast is really there, more than one person has confirmed it, it seems that Xiao Lu is a very kind girl, so careful to entertain everyone, and worry about everyone's safety. So, the professor said to her, "Well, we won't enjoy your good intentions in vain anyway, and I'll bother you to prepare a guest room for everyone tonight!" It's a little bit of a thing, you take it first, if it's not enough, just tell us! The professor said, and stuffed some money into her hand, which was the crystal that he had brought back from the Kingdom of Jin before he came
Exchanged with herdsmen.
"No, no, no! My family is not short of money in the timber business! You may not know that my family also has a mansion in the city, but I can't get used to it, so I have been staying in this forest. So, take your money back, I'm doing all this just to have fun. Because, if I'm going to be unhappy, it doesn't matter how much money you give me! Midori said very seriously.
"Well, why don't we do something for you? But you're already so capable, so what can we do to help you? The professor pretended to be embarrassed.
"Hehe, it seems that you don't need it for the time being, and you still remember to find friends, so I have no reason to distract you. It's rare for someone to come to this forest, this is also our fate, everyone will live in my house with peace of mind tonight, don't think about anything, and strive to have a sweet dream! ”
After getting acquainted, under Xiao Lu's warm hospitality, everyone went back to their respective rooms, and Xiao An was also taken to a room, and then Xiao Lu withdrew, saying that it was not early, she was going to wash and sleep, and told Xiao An not to go to bed too late.
Xiao An nodded yes, and Lu Gu closed the door.
After some washing, Xiao An lay down on the bed. Her bed was next to the window, which was a small circle, but because of the topography and the height of the house, there was a distant view. The moonlight is good tonight, probably because the thunderstorm has consumed the clouds, Xiao An looked at the blue sky and was in a good mood.
