Chapter 41: Wind and Snow, Traveler (1st Update)

In the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, where it can even be said to have left the edge of the village, there was a small wooden house.

A simple fence made of bamboo circles around the wooden house, and in front of the wooden house, a small spring is still rising in this winter day, and the faint heat lingers up, hazy and blurry.

And next to the small hot spring, the owner of the room was carrying a wooden bucket to fetch water.

But instead of drawing water from the warm spring, she threw the barrel into the rudimentary old well beside her.

With the sound of falling water, she bent down, reached out and grasped the rope that had been connected beforehand, and little by little pulled the bucket up that had been filled with water.

In a moment, the clear water from the ancient well was finally raised. With the sound of water, the clear well water poured straight down, soaking her whole body.

In this cold winter day, the slight wind and snow have not completely dissipated, but the slightly delicate figure does not seem to care about the terrible cold. Bucket after bucket, pouring clear well water, wetting themselves over and over again, like washing, like washing.

The clear water of the well soaked his whole body, soaked his clothes, and dripped down. Between the ends of the hair, which was simply tied by a red and white ribbon, drops of water kept dripping.

It either falls on the shirt, or falls to the ground, and more often it slides down the neck, slowly sliding down......

After three consecutive wells, she seemed to have finished flushing and stopped pumping water. Turning around, the invisible water vapor and water droplets scattered in all directions, and the next moment, most of the clothes she was wearing were already dry.

Then, she picked up a towel beside her and wiped her long brown and black hair little by little. When she was almost combed her hair, she was about to lift the barrel and turn away, but she seemed to sense something, and stopped and looked in the direction of the woods outside the house.

"Who?"

She asked so softly.

As her voice fell, two small footsteps of different shades gradually came from the jungle.

"I'm sorry, we're travelers from afar, so we took the liberty of bothering us."

It was a clear voice, and along with it came two figures, walking slowly from the edge of the woods until they reached beyond the fence.

Walking slightly ahead was a dark-haired man wearing a cold-proof snow suit. Half a step behind was a blonde woman who was also wearing a snowsuit.

She glanced at the two of them slightly, then nodded and greeted softly, "Hello, traveler from afar. Is there anything you can do? ”

"Hehe, I'm ashamed." The black-haired man shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "The two of us have traveled here from afar, but we have lost our way here. Coupled with this wind and snow trouble, it is really a bit unbearable. So I want to find a place to take shelter from the wind and snow. ”

"I wonder if you'd like to let us borrow one or two. Of course, we will pay accordingly. ”

Looking at the two people in front of her, she didn't seem to think much about it, just smiled, and then nodded softly: "This is naturally no problem." However, the home is simple, and there may not be much place to entertain, so please forgive me. ”

"Where, where, if you are willing to take in the two of us at such a time, you are already grateful, how dare you ask for anything."

"Hmm. Then you will come with me into the house. She nodded, "It's cold and snowy outside, and I just cooked a pot of hot soup, so you can also drink some to dispel the cold." ”

As she spoke, she stepped forward, opened the fence, and motioned for the two to come in.

Hearing this, the two said happily: "Then there will be a lot of disturbances." ”

When the two entered the courtyard, she closed the fence at will, and then stretched out her hand and motioned, "Then, please come with me." ”

With a soft creak, the small wooden door closed gently, and together with the wind and snow, it was also outside the door.

The inside of the wooden house is not very spacious, but it is still neatly kept. Some basic household items are all in it, and you can see it at a glance.

Simple, but not as shabby.

And in the middle of the hut was a proposed stove. And above that stove, a small porcelain pot was boiling something. With the heat from the stove, a faint aroma wafted out and lingered throughout the hut.

She motioned for the two guests to sit down casually, and then she turned again to examine the hot soup boiling in the nest.

When the hot soup was completely cooked, she took three bowls and spoons from the shelf, one for each of them, and brought them to the two of them: "Come, this is the hot soup I just cooked, although it is bland, but it is still quite effective for repelling the cold." ”

"Thank you so much, you're so kind." , The two took the hot soup with a smile, and regardless of the hot temperature, they took a big sip of it.

"How does it taste? Is it to your taste? Watching the two of them drink the hot soup, she also found a place to sit down on her knees, and asked at the right time.

The black-haired man looked up and smiled, "Hehe, it tastes very good." To put it mildly, this is the best soup I've ever had. ”

"Where, you're too much of a prize." , she shook her head, and then seemed to think of something, covered her mouth and chuckled: "To be honest, I don't usually have many people here. Fortunately, I still have a few extra bowls and spoons, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to entertain you. ”

"Ah, by the way, you must be hungry all the way, do you want me to prepare something to eat for you? Drinking soup alone can't replenish your physical strength. ”

"No, no, there is no need to bother you, we still have a lot of dry food on ourselves."

"What kind of business, how can you let the guests into the house and let them eat the dry food they have brought. Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat. ”

After saying that, she didn't wait for the two to refuse, then stood up again, turned around and walked into the kitchen on the side to get busy, leaving the two to look at each other.

"Hehe......", the blonde woman chuckled and said, "Well, it's also a lot of hospitality, so we'll take it." ”

"Hmm...... Also. The black-haired man nodded, and said no more.

After a busy time, she put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said politely to the two of them again: "It's all coarse tea and light rice, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive me." ”

"Where, where, it's because we have a lot of interruptions. Thank you so much. ”

After the three of them were polite, they gathered around the fire again to warm up. The small wooden house became quiet again, and only the crackling sound of the charcoal as it was roasted by the fire echoed softly in the room......
