Chapter 44: The First Experience of the Cabin in the Woods.
The sound of horses' hooves rattled in the quiet and uninhabited forest, and the group of five did not communicate too much, and as the jungle went deeper, after a short time, the Crane master and servant who were walking in front stopped.
A low stone house made of craggy boulders appeared in front of everyone, and from a distance, it looked like a lair of demons in the woods, quiet and terrifying, dark and unpredictable.
At first sight, the young officer and the little servant were slightly startled, but soon they turned over and dismounted, trying to find the grave of the Headless Horseman in this strange jungle...... If you don't consult the "aborigines" for advice, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get your wish for a while.
Jian Hao and others also dismounted one after another.
"Let's go over and see." Klein said to the three gentlemen with an unnatural expression.
Adhering to the principle of caution, the young police officer hid behind his little servant, and slowly walked towards the low stone house step by step, and before he was about to step into the door, he deliberately pulled out the flintlock pistol in his arms......
Who knows what the "aborigines" who live in such a hellish place are......
Brother Hao motions for Konstantin to get the "Courageous Arquebus Model MAX" ready, which is just as good as the "Spirit Pony", and the protagonist is really good at collecting supplies.
But the latter is obviously a little puzzled.,In the original plot, the male protagonist just went into the house to inquire about the location of the tree of the dead.,Although the process is a little scary.,But it doesn't seem to be going to use force?
"Tsk, you're talking a lot of nonsense, hurry up." Jian Hao didn't bother to explain, and saw that Uncle Melbourne on the side turned the silver needle in his hand and raised his leg to leave, and Brother Hao himself followed the actor with a gun on his back.
Of course, Jian Hao knows what is in this low stone house located in the western jungle, and the little brother Tanding is right, the stone house is indeed inhabited by an abominable witch, and after giving the protagonist Klein a series of frightens and guidance, there is no other scene, it can be regarded as a soy sauce character who does not live for more than twenty minutes, but in fact, the identity of this witch is very special......
"Squeak, squeak, squeak—"
The wooden door in the stone cave is pushed open by the protagonist, and the broken thing seems to have not been active for thousands of years, and it emits a series of continuous creaky sounds under the light touch, and it makes people want to twitch in the current environment.
Brother Hao stroked the goosebumps on his arm, picked up the gun and followed the protagonist all the way into the stone house.
Although the situation in the stone house seems to be a little messy, it also reveals a faint sense of warmth, on the dead branches and rotten trees, on the uneven rocks, you can see white grease candles burning with sparks everywhere, and in front of the hearth in the middle of the stone house, a woman with white hair and hips is squatting at this time.
The woman had her back to the stone cave door, and Klein hadn't seen the original plot, so she naturally didn't know the identity of the resident, so she had to cautiously try to say hello.
"Sorry to interrupt...... But I think you can help us. He politely hid behind Little Mas and held up a loaded flintlock pistol.
"You're from the Valley of the Guillotine." The woman sitting in front of the campfire on the hearth didn't look back, and asked rhetorically in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, yes, so to speak."
The young officer swallowed, and continued to push the little servant forward, the flintlock pistol in his hand, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or because it was clenched too hard, seemed to tremble a little, and he replied with a smile as much as he could; But as soon as the words came out, he realized that the other party couldn't see his friendly smile, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and turned his head to look away, but was startled by the dark and curious arrangement in the stone room.
After taking two steps, Crane seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly added, "I don't look down on your profession or way of doing things, they ...... They...... They ......"
Judging by the strange arrangement of the stone house and the strange appearance of the hostess, the clever police officer quickly guessed what the "native" of the forest was—yes, she was a psychic...... Or rather, "witches".
The profession of psychic has appeared in the history of various civilizations regardless of region or race, and they have had supreme power and devastating blows, but in terms of the current historical environment, people call such people "wizards".
Witches are one of the most represented women, who use witchcraft, magic, astrology, and other seemingly unbelievable powers and means to accomplish all sorts of things, and the word witch is inseparable from "absolute evil" in the hype of the church and the unwarranted fear of the ignorant people.
In the eyes of the people, these women are all pagans who are willing to fall and are lured by the devil and voluntarily sign a contract, and after they get the corresponding magic seal, they begin to sabotage the construction of the motherland, wantonly kidnap young girls and eat children, anyway, they are all kinds of disasters to the world, and they are properly the incarnation of the devil; It is precisely for this reason that in those days, these poor girls were not only spurned by the world, but also suffered merciless judgment by the Holy See.
In less than a hundred years from the sixteenth century to the seventeenth century, more than 200,000 witches were sacrificed to trial, and whether they were witches or "false accusations" ...... And who can say clearly?
Brother Hao stood at the door of the house and watched the male protagonist stammering about this, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, you stupid primitives, in a few hundred years, these heretics that you can't avoid, but they are real big stars, do you know Superman? Do you know the SuperJunior ......?
"It's not surprising to me, ah-"
Stammering and stumbling into words, the young officer finally found what he thought was the most appropriate and polite way to speak, and halfway through the sentence he deliberately represented his little servant and the three gentlemen who were with him—" They thought so too. ”
As they spoke, the master and servant had moved to the fire, and they were close to the woman with her hair and face.
The gun in the officer's hand shook even more.
"Smack!" The witch did not speak, but slammed her right hand on the stone platform in front of her, and the corpse of a red-robed crested bird appeared under her palm, and it looked like the poor little creature had been dead for a long time.
Crane's face froze, and his body involuntarily leaned back, and he couldn't help but mutter, "Oh-"
In Brother Hao's view, the meaning of this word is probably equivalent to the "second ao" in his mouth, which is similar to the "Amitabha" in the monk's mouth...... Of course, under the premise that the elite aristocrats of the upper class had to vomit quickly in order to take care of their face and cultivation, this group of people cleverly simplified this rude tone and changed it into - "Oh! ”
The witch got up and turned around, her knee-length hair covering her face just right—even Brother Hao, who had always had good eyes, couldn't see what this woman looked like, without a veil or shawl, she was dressed in a heinously dirty rococo dress, and this woman was naked with a pair of slender hands...... Well, nails are long enough to poke people to death.
The witch's honor naturally startled Klein again, he subconsciously took two steps back, and almost bumped into Jian Hao behind him, his servant Xiao Maas was quite calm, and when he saw the witch coming over, he had the courage to ask for his master.
"You know...... Meet the Headless Horseman? "He's a kid after all, and it's fearless to be able to say it in its entirety.
The witch pressed forward step by step, and said jokingly, "That Black Forest mercenary? After that, he used his right hand to quickly wipe his neck, and said "hiss" to the visitor.
If it weren't for Brother Hao's support behind his back, Klein would probably have to take a few steps back, this person is really ......
"That's him, dear lady." Little Maas pretended to be calm and hurriedly picked up the conversation.
Klein didn't seem to want to help him when he saw the "natives", but he had already gotten the information he wanted from her.
So the young officer hurriedly grabbed the little servant's shoulder and turned around to go out of the door, but he didn't want to turn around, and the witch's claws behind him "snapped" on his shoulder.
Crane Chrysanthemum tightened, and then listened to the witch whisper, "You come with me." ”
