Chapter 15 The Cabin in the Woods
After the rain stopped, Lin Tianyao and Yu Ji walked together, eating and sleeping in the open air. Time passed by in a hurry, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.
Lin Tianyao only met Yu Ji a few times, but his impression was very deep. After spending these few days together, he got to know Yu Ji much deeper. Yu Ji may seem heroic, but at heart she may still be like the little girl she was back then. She wants what she wants, does what she wants, and says what she wants to say, acting very casually. Lin Tianyao doesn't hate this character, on the contrary, he appreciates it.
When they first met, Yu Ji was ordered to lure Lin Tianyao to join their plan. At that time, Lin Tianyao was wary of her, but now he gradually feels that Yu Ji is very cute.
In the evening again, Yu Ji and Lin Tianyao had a tacit understanding. They each went separately to collect the materials needed to spend the night. Lin Tianyao walked towards the forest alone.
========
Deep in the lush forest, unexpectedly there is a wooden house. There are two children in it, like a pair of sons and daughters of the hunters here. At this time, they are wearing slightly shabby clothes and waiting boredly for their father to come home. .
It was already evening, and the fog was gradually starting to form outside. The little boy seemed to still have some unfinished ideas and wanted to venture further afield, but the little girl was obviously more calm and spoke out to stop him.
"Brother, don't go far before dad comes back." The little girl said in a sweet voice.
The little boy was obviously a little disappointed, but he still muttered and looked like he wanted to continue.
"My father said that there are wild beasts in the mountains, and there are wolves that can eat people."
"But dad can hunt wolves with a bow and arrow, and so can I!" The little boy was obviously a little scared, but he was still very unconvinced. Boys of this age obviously refused to admit defeat.
"In addition to wild beasts, dad also said that there are monsters in the mountains that turn into humans." Seeing this, the little girl added fuel to the fire and continued to scare the little boy.
"I...I'm not afraid of any monsters."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the wooden door.
"ah!!!"
Both kids were obviously terrified! As soon as they mentioned the monster in the mountain, there was a knock on the door, and they had to be told not to be afraid.
"Is anyone home?"
"No!!" The girl was already frightened and crying, but the boy mustered up the courage to protect his sister at this time and replied calmly, although his voice was still trembling.
"Then I'm coming in."
Following the words, the wooden door opened with a creak. The two children were frightened and cried loudly on the spot. While crying, they shouted, "Don't eat me, don't eat me!"
The person standing outside the door was not a monster. He was wearing a moon-white robe, with long black hair tied up (in the eyes of people in this world), and he looked like an immortal.
This person is Lin Tianyao.
The two children looked at the visitor carefully and saw that he was fairer than the others and his features were more handsome. He didn't have any head or six arms, and he didn't show any horns or fangs. Their cries gradually became smaller.
"Are you really not a monster?"
Lin Tianyao was full of depression at this time. After traveling so many worlds, this was the first time he was treated as a monster, or as a child. Trying to hurt the other person would only make him look stingy. Seeing the two children's eyes wide open and innocent, Lin Tianyao couldn't lose his temper, so he had to ask them patiently.
"Where are your adults?"
"Dad has gone out." The boy answered, and he unconsciously blocked his sister behind him. "Who are you? Dad said there are only beasts and monsters in the mountains. There are no humans, so you are a monster?"
When the word monster was mentioned, the boy was obviously afraid again, but he did not move away from his sister.
"I'm not a monster. Do you think I look like a monster?"
Both children shook their heads.
"I am a passing traveler and want to find a place to spend the night. Can my companion and I spend the night here?"
The two children murmured and discussed for a while before replying, "It's okay if you are not monsters."
You are so persistent, naughty kid!
Lin Tianyao complained in his heart and decided to go out to find Yu Ji. If he could sleep in such a room-like place at night, it would obviously be better than sleeping outside under the sky.
He was about to go out when his clothes were grabbed by two children.
"Uncle, it's already night. You can't go out. There are monsters outside." The little girl said to Lin Tianyao seriously. At this time, she seemed to have determined that Lin Tianyao was not a monster but a human being.
"It's not uncle, it's brother! Brother has grown up, so there is no problem in going out." Lin Tianyao didn't take these childish words to heart, and was about to drag the two of them out, but found that the outside world at this time It has been turned upside down.
He first walked along the forest. After walking for a while, he saw a wooden house with smoke coming from the kitchen. He knocked on the door and came in. The sun had not set at that time and was even very bright. At this time, the outside of the wooden house was pitch black. A faint white mist slowly spreads from the ground.
"Uncle!" The little girl pulled Lin Tianyao, and the boy ran forward and closed the wooden door, and the wonderful scene outside was immediately shut up.
"What happened outside?"
"Uncle, don't you know? You can't go out at night. You will be caught and eaten by wild beasts and monsters." The little girl was obviously incredible at Lin Tianyao's ignorance, and was a little proud.
At this time, a wolf howled outside very appropriately.
Lin Tianyao had never heard this kind of wolf howling in a hunter's cabin in the forest at night. The one after another emotionless howls seemed very penetrating. Lin Tianyao doesn't like wolves. If it's a tiger, it can be called a lone warrior or something. It is a well-deserved king, while wolves appear to be more cunning, because the racial characteristics of attacking in groups are a bit shameless.
Lin Tianyao didn't know what would happen to Yu Ji outside. Obviously something was wrong with the outside world. It would obviously be unwise for him to go out rashly. But leaving a girl alone outside was not something Lin Tianyao could do.
"Uncle, who is that friend of yours? Is he also a monster?"
Hey, you are so afraid of monsters, why did you let me in? Although I wanted to complain like this, I still endured it.
"Uncle, tell us the story of your monsters."
Lin Tianyao looked at the two children and his head hurt even more. ....
