Chapter 533: Cabin in the Woods
Huo Xiaotian carefully searched for the traces of the wolf's paw prints in the forest, and before he knew it, he had walked far away and came to the depths of the forest.
Even if it is daytime, being alone in the deep mountains and old forests makes people shudder, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to find the old scalper early, Huo Xiaotian would not want to come to this kind of ghost place alone.
Huo Xiaotian walked into the depths of the forest while beating the grass.
Grass is to disturb the snakes and insects in the forest, so as not to be bitten by them, in this kind of deep mountain old forest, not in front of the village and not in the store, in case of being bitten by a poisonous snake, it is very fatal, if unfortunately bitten by the head of the mountain soldering iron, I am afraid that within five steps, it will be poisoned to death.
Therefore, Huo Xiaotian was extremely cautious and cautious.
In the afternoon, Huo Xiaotian suddenly found a house in the woods.
It is a wooden house deep in the forest, the house is divided into two floors, the door is open, and the inside is steaming, and there is a strong smell of meat, as if it is cooking meat.
Huo Xiaotian cautiously stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response inside.
"Anyone?" Huo Xiaotian shouted again.
There was also no response inside.
Huo Xiaotian took a deep breath and walked into the room with courage, the room was a little messy, and there was a bit of a weird smell, maybe it was because the room hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
Huo Xiaotian fanned the wind and continued to walk towards the room, but when he walked into the inner room, he couldn't help but be startled, only to see that the inner room was facing the door, and a hideous and terrifying wolf head was staring at Huo Xiaotian's direction with blood-red eyes.
Huo Xiaotian's heart jumped in fright, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.
But luckily it's just an ornament, but it's just too realistic.
Huo Xiaotian clutched his chest, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down. Keep walking inside.
Soon after, he came to the kitchen, and saw an old lady in the kitchen concentrating on boiling the broth, humming a little song while boiling the soup. It looks very leisurely.
Seeing that it was an old lady, Huo Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that there were werewolves living in it.
"Hello, grandma." Huo Xiaotian shouted.
The old lady turned her head, looked at Huo Xiaotian curiously, and looked up and down.
"Where are you from, young man?" The old lady asked.
"I'm from the next village, and my old scalper is lost, so. Come and look for it, I wonder if the old grandmother has ever seen an old scalper? Huo Xiaotian asked.
"Old scalper? Is it wearing a brass ring on the nose? The old lady asked.
"Hey, yes, yes, grandma, did you see that old scalper?" Huo Xiaotian hurriedly asked.
"Oh, yes, I saw it, I saw a merchant leading the old ox to the village." The old lady said.
"Village?" Huo Xiaotian asked.
"Yes. Follow the creek all the way down and you'll find it. The merchant was supposed to go to the village. The old lady said, pointing in the direction of the village.
"Oh, thank you so much, grandma, then I'll go." Huo Xiaotian was about to leave, but was stopped by the old lady.
"Where are you going, young man?" The old lady asked.
"I'm going to find my cow." Huo Xiaotian said.
"Don't you know what this place is, young man?" The old lady asked with a serious expression.
"I don't know." Huo Xiaotian shook his head.
"This place is a werewolf haunt. In the evening, everyone is afraid to go out, and now that it is so late, even if you find the old scalper, you will not be able to return home. Why don't you stay here for one night and look for your cattle early tomorrow morning? The old lady said warmly.
Huo Xiaotian thought about it, it is indeed the same, it is not early now, even if he finds the old scalper, I am afraid that it will be the second half of the night when he gets home, walking alone in such a dark forest late at night, I am afraid it is also very dangerous, not to mention encountering werewolves or anything, even if you encounter a cat or a dog, you can be scared.
Huo Xiaotian thought about it and decided to stay here for one night.
"Grandma, since that's the case, thank you so much, and when I find the old scalper, I will definitely thank you." Huo Xiaotian smiled and said gratefully.
"Young man, you don't have to be so polite, I just cooked mutton soup, let's drink mutton soup together." The old lady said with a smile.
Huo Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the old scalper was taken away by a businessman, fortunately the old scalper did not fall into the mouth of the werewolf, otherwise, his seven peas would not have thought about it at all.
Therefore, he was in the mood to stay overnight at the old lady's house, and if he hurried a little more to-morrow, he should be able to catch up with the merchant.
Huo Xiaotian drank two large bowls of mutton soup in a row, and he felt warm and comfortable all over his body.
"Grandma, your mutton soup is so fragrant, how do you make it?" Huo Xiaotian asked.
"How about cooking it with the hind leg meat of the lamb, plus shiitake mushrooms, herbs and some secret spices? If it's delicious, drink more. The old lady said, and served Huo Xiaotian another bowl of mutton soup.
Huo Xiaotian looked at the mutton soup and couldn't help licking his lips, since moving to the lakeside villa, the living conditions have been lowered by a big grade, and he hasn't opened the meat for a long time, and now he suddenly drank such a delicious mutton soup, Huo Xiaotian also had a great appetite and drank it to his heart's content.
After eating a full meal, Huo Xiaotian also felt a little tired, and fell asleep on the bed.
In the middle of the night, Huo Xiaotian suddenly heard a strange sound from the roof, he opened his eyes suddenly, only to see a black shadow flash outside the window, rushing towards the old lady's room.
The black shadow was very fast, and it looked like a wolf.
Huo Xiaotian was worried that the old lady would be in danger, so he picked up the stick next to the bed, grabbed the door, and rushed to the old lady's room.
At this time, the old lady's room was already closed, Huo Xiaotian stood outside knocking on the door, and there was no movement inside.
Huo Xiaotian was even more worried, and slammed the door harder, and after smashing it for a while, the door was opened.
The old lady was wearing pajamas, stood by the door, opened a crack, looked at Huo Xiaotian and asked, "Young man, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Grandma, did you see a wolf enter your room?" Huo Xiaotian asked.
"Wolves? No, I don't. The old lady shook her head and said.
"How could it not be? Am I mistaken? Huo Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment, and his eyes swept around the room, which was quiet, and there was indeed no shadow of a wolf.
"Don't be cranky, young man, there are no wolves here, go back and rest, and tomorrow you will go to the village to find your cow." The old lady said with a smile.
"Oh." Huo Xiaotian nodded, turned around and returned to his room stupidly.
"It's really strange, I obviously saw a wolf, could it be that the wolf is ......" Thinking of some kind of terrifying possibility, Huo Xiaotian couldn't help but get goosebumps. (To be continued.) )
