Players Please Get In the Car

"Why are the numbers jumping randomly?" The painter came over to take a look.

"If they jump randomly, there is something wrong." Xu Huo put away the instrument. "The magnetic field here is disordered, and multiple forces interfere with each other. Those sudden human figures may just be our illusion."

The painter pinched the doll hanging on the backpack and asked again: "When can we find a place where people live?"

"Walk around and see." Xu Huo said: "If we still can't find it by dark, find a place to rest here."

The venue props are too big, but the hut is enough.

The two hurried forward again, and it took a full hour to see the buildings. Unlike the information found in the dimension below, these buildings are all built of wood. The small wooden houses are independent of each other, and there are some big trees in the middle. Although there are intervals between the houses, you can still see the neighbors next door by looking up.

The house is hidden in the fog and can't be seen clearly, but the light from the window shows that there are people living here.

Xu Huo slowed down and deliberately made some noise as he walked towards the hut. Soon, figures appeared on the windows of the two huts closer to him. The people inside did not open the windows, but looked out through the iron fence and curtains.

Knowing that there were more people coming than just the few households in front of him, after they made some movements, the people in the wooden houses hundreds of meters away also moved.

No one spoke, and they did not use communication tools, but when Xu Huo approached the first house, everyone in the area knew that a stranger had come.

"I'll go knock on the door!" The painting girl ran over happily, and the people holding knives and sticks inside the door actually answered at the first time, "Who?"

"Me!" The painting girl played the sound of the communicator.

"Who are you!" the person inside asked again.

"I am Lichun!" The painting girl answered again.

The people inside the door were silent for a moment, gave up the normal communication procedure, and said directly: "You go, we don't welcome outsiders here!"

The painting girl touched the door panel, and then bent her index finger and clicked it imitating the appearance in the TV series, and turned back to Xu Huo to hint that the door panel was not thick.

"Hurry up!" The person in the door panicked and raised his voice, "Don't try to force your way in, we have a shotgun!"

There was no shotgun behind the door, but the shotgun was on its way. Several tall young men had already walked out from different directions, leaving traces of shadows.

"We are not bad people." Xu Huo put a 020 zone banknote into the crack of the door, "My sister and I got lost while traveling nearby, and unknowingly walked here, wanting to find a place to stay."

The person in the door picked up the money, and after a few back and forth glances, the door was opened a crack. A woman looked at them from head to toe through the crack of the door, focusing on their feet, and then opened the door to let them in.

As the door opened, the young men who had already arrived nearby also stopped.

When the woman closed the door, she waved to the outside, and the young men dispersed again.

There was a middle-aged couple and an old man in the room. There were two children hiding in the room. Although they were allowed in, the people in the room did not completely relax and stared at them closely.

Xu Huo took out some bread and meat jerky that had been placed in advance from his travel bag, "It's getting dark, and the forest is full of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Fortunately, we found this place... Don't worry, my sister and I are not bad people. We will only stay for one night and leave tomorrow morning. Can we use these food to exchange some hot soup and hot water with you?"

Compared with money, the people in the room were obviously more interested in food. The old man nodded, and the middle-aged couple took the food and went to boil water.

"Young man, have a cup of tea." The old man poured water for them and said, "Put down your bags and take a rest. The forest is cold and damp. The fire is just lit. You should roast it quickly."

As she said that, she stretched out her hand and pinched the wrist of the painting girl, "It's so cold, go and roast it quickly."

The painting girl looked at her inexplicably, then looked at Xu Huo, and seemed not to understand this way of greeting.

"My sister can't speak." Xu Huo thanked her and pushed the painter to the stove.

The middle-aged couple quickly brought up a pot of broth. Because it had been boiled for too long, the broth had become a paste. There were a few mushrooms and some common mosses in the forest. It didn't look very good, but the aroma was very strong.

"We've had dinner at home. This is the leftovers. Don't be disgusted." The old man kindly served them the soup and handed it to them.

The painter's appetite was spoiled. She poked at the communicator and turned up the volume, "This doesn't look delicious at all."

The middle-aged couple sat down by the stove and remained silent. In fact, except for a few words before opening the door, they never spoke again. Facing the painter's pickyness, the man lowered his head and did not respond, while the woman was a little embarrassed. She opened her mouth and hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

"It's inconvenient to go in and out of the forest, and the food is not rich. If you really can't eat, drink a few more sips of tea." The old man smiled and said.

Xu Huo didn't pick it up. He drank a mouthful of soup and nodded, "It tastes really good."

The painter stared at her bowl suspiciously, and reluctantly tasted it. She thought it tasted good, and asked the woman for a second bowl.

The woman seemed to have received affirmation, and served her the bowl readily, and even went into the house to get a sweater for her to put on.

"Old man, I can't find this place on the map. Why do you live here?" After dinner, Xu Huo chatted with the family, "I see that you eat and live locally, which is not very convenient."

The old man chewed the tea leaves he swallowed and said slowly: "The world outside is changing so much that we can't keep up. It's good to live here and be self-sufficient."

"Yes, the ingredients are all natural, and they are very fresh when cooked. They are not comparable to anything outside." Xu Huo agreed: "We got lost when we walked near here. We don't know which direction to go to the nearest one." City?"

"We have been out for several days, but the communication device cannot contact the outside world. We want to report to our family as soon as possible. Moreover, the food we brought is not enough, so we need to find some supplies."

The old man shook his head, "I'm afraid we'll have to walk for several days, but don't worry, there are a few families on the road. If you're really hungry or thirsty, ask them for something to eat or drink."

"So that's it." Xu Huo nodded with relief. Seeing that the woman was about to put away the pots and dishes to wash, he quickly stood up and helped her.

"No, no, no, you young people can't do this kind of work..." The woman quickly refused, but Xu Huo smiled heartily, "I cook at home, there's nothing I can't do."

In order to show that he really knew how to do it, he took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and wash the dishes. He also told the woman about all the preparations he and his sister had made when they were going to travel. As a result, he had to throw away most of the equipment and pack lightly because he was lost. In the middle of the conversation, he suddenly After a pause, "Have any neighbors come over?"
