The wolf-headed man patrols around the village. Although he occasionally uses the gun and stick in his hand to pry open the locked houses of the villagers and loot their belongings, now he will also rummage through the wardrobes where people can hide people even though they have no money.
They searched the whole village for villagers who might still be here.
Originally, they were not so vigilant, but after receiving the news that a human girl was still in the village, these wolf-headed men began to search for human traces throughout the village.
"What's going on in Kradi?"
Wolfman, the captain of the wolf-headed men, asked the wolf-headed men passing by.
"Buddy Salmon (not found)."
The wolf-headed warriors report.
"Baaka (continue)."
Huffman waved his hand and asked his men to continue searching. If they still couldn't find the human girl, there was nothing they could do.
If someone is hiding in a cellar or something like that, it will be really difficult for them to find him for a while.
After all, although the nose of a wolf-headed man is sensitive, it is not a dog's nose after all, and it cannot accurately distinguish fresh human smells among complex smells.
What's more, this is a human village, where is there no human flavor?
As Huffman walked on the road in the village, the houses on the left and right were basically ransacked by his men.
They piled up the collected property, such as gold, silver, or other rare-looking things, and they would start distributing these things when Lord Nursha arrived.
"Dardika...Buludis (is there...something here)?"
Huffman stared at the two upside-down baskets on the side of the road. He didn't seem to see these things here just now?
However, he was not sure about this. After all, baskets made from bamboo growing nearby could be said to be everywhere. It seemed that every household had several such baskets to hold daily necessities.
It is said that in human villages, villagers need to go to the market from dawn to dusk in order to sell their goods. In order to facilitate transactions, they need to use many containers to hold their harvests.
Huffman didn't quite understand human beings' tendency to do business, but the sight of baskets all over the street made him dizzy.
"Bastinillaca (I guess I remembered it wrong)."
Huffman looked at the two baskets for a while, and suddenly felt that his behavior was a bit stupid.
Why should I worry about why this basket is here?
Maybe some clumsy guy kicked these two here.
Of course, it is also possible that he remembered it wrong. After all, where is this basket? He is not so free to remember the location of this thing.
Huffman scratched his head and thought it was better to continue looking for the human girl, so he continued to patrol along the street.
He didn't even think about going through those baskets, because it seemed that people in this village liked to use them to store garbage, and he didn't want to get his paws dirty for this matter.
Oddly enough, wolf-headed people generally don't mind the smell of their own bodies, but stay away from other dirty and smelly things.
When Huffman walked away, the two "suspicious" baskets began to move furtively.
If someone bends down and takes a look at this time, they will discover the "mystery" - it turns out that these two baskets are "lengthened".
A basket with only one pair of big feet walked in front to clear the way, while the other basket with four small feet followed closely behind.
Yes, this is the method Federer came up with to operate in a village where he might see a wolf-headed man at any time.
Although this kind of cover is full of loopholes, if it were an ordinary robber, it would probably not be effective.
Because this basket was fine and would not be left upside down on the street. Two upside-down baskets should be suspicious no matter how you look at them. As long as you look carefully, they should be exposed.
But it happened that wolf-headed creatures, which generally have relatively low intelligence and rely heavily on their sense of smell, were easily fooled.
This was when Federer and Lisa had just entered the village, they saw the wolf-headed man wandering at the entrance of the village. They were stunned and accidentally made some noise. Those guys with keen senses quickly walked towards them.
In desperation, he took Lisa and hid in the rubbish pile, thus avoiding the wolf-headed men who were reluctant to come in.
From there he came up with this idea:
He covered his body with a basket that had been used to cook smoked vegetables, so that the smell of smoke covered his original smell.
Originally, I wanted Nia to set up a basket by herself, but I felt that too many targets would easily be exposed, so I reluctantly asked Nia and Lisa to share a basket.
Fortunately, these two little guys didn't mind, otherwise he wouldn't be able to think of any other way.
Although there were people like the wolf-headed man just now who kept staring at them. Federer almost lost his composure several times and wanted to take out the dagger Lance gave him to strike first.
Fortunately, there was no danger, and none of these wolf-headed men had any intention of coming over. He took the two girls and leaned against the wall, slowly walking towards Nia's house.
"Damn...as expected..."
Federer, who was wearing a basket, passed by the door of his house and found that the door of his house, which was specially locked with a large iron lock, had been smashed open. Everything inside had been looted, and some broken bricks and bowls were left in the open space in front of the door.
Naturally, he was in great pain, and he didn't know if his always shrewd mother-in-law had taken away all the valuable things in the house.
Federer was thinking about all these things, but the two people covered by another basket had already surpassed him and were heading towards their goal.
"Oh! Nia, wait a minute!"
After all, this basket is for two people, so it is inevitably a bit in the way.
Originally, as long as the two of them coordinated their speed, there would be no problem, but seeing that her home was not far away, how could Nia continue to walk slowly like this.
Amidst Lisa's shouting, Nia opened the basket above her head and ran towards the door of the house.
He no longer considered anything that might be discovered by those wolf-faced monsters.
She ran as hard as she could, as if the energy she had exhausted before was an illusion, and she could run fast again.
Only the soreness in her hamstrings and the fatigue that surged into her heart were still complaining about her physical pain. But the worry about her mother at home was enough to make her forget these things.
"Mother……"
She ran to the door of her house. The fragrance of flowers in the courtyard was still there, and the vines wrapped around the fence were still green.
But the path leading to the house was covered with footprints of wild beasts. The door to the house was ajar, and the door leaves swayed in the breeze.
"Mother!!"
She quickly opened the door and rushed into the house. Seeing the girl in the white dress disappear directly from Federer and Lisa's sight, they quickly shouted:
"Wait! Nia!"
"Be careful!"
Federer also dropped the basket and followed Lisa in an attempt to catch up with Nia.
Because it's too dangerous for Niya. Looking at the traces outside the house, it's not sure if there are any of those wolf-headed men inside.
When the situation is unclear, it is obviously unwise to rush into the house without any precautions.
But at this moment, Nia didn't have the time to think. She was only focused on her mother's safety.
Nia ran into the familiar door and found that the home had become unfamiliar because it was in a mess: the tea set that her mother liked for receiving guests had turned into a pile of fragments.
Many pieces of furniture were also smashed by force. The kitchen table with a broken leg fell to the ground, and the lunch prepared on it was also spilled on the ground...
The house was filled with sawdust and dust, and there were signs of brutal looting everywhere.
"No, don't..."
The scene in front of her made Nia feel despair, and her already weak knees were finally drained of the last strength.
The girl knelt on the ground, covering her cheeks with her hands, and tears could not stop flowing from her dry eyes.
At this moment, what comes to my mind is endless pain and regret.
As long as I stay with my mother... it won't, won't be like this...
"Nia...is that you?"
A female voice came from in front of me.
There was a trace of surprise and concern in this voice. This voice was so gentle, so beautiful, and so...familiar.
