The cabin looked very dilapidated, and it was unknown how long it had existed. Within a ten-foot radius around the cabin, the fog seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, not daring to intrude.
Seeing such a small wooden house suddenly in the fog naturally aroused the vigilance of Tang Fei and the others.
They were discussing whether to go in, but at this time an old woman suddenly opened the door of the cabin and said to everyone, “Guests who have come from afar, you must have been tired from the journey. Why don’t you come in and have a drink? Maybe a cup of hot water, or maybe rest your feet?”
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.
Liu Shou stepped forward boldly and asked, “Ma’am, what is this place? Also, who are you?”
The old woman looked at Liu Shou with a smile and said, “Young man, what you really want to ask is whether I will do you any harm, right?”
Liu Shou’s face was a little embarrassed, and when he was thinking about what to say, the old woman continued, “But in such a place like this, how bad can the situation be? In the face of any emergency, what you have to do is not to be afraid, but to think about what kind of reversal this sudden situation can bring to you.”
Several people were taken aback when they heard her words.
The old lady explained the current situation of several people in one go and also gave very reasonable suggestions.
Indeed, it should be a good thing for them to see such a small wooden house in such a place where the sun and no people live.
In the worst case, it should be trekking in the wilderness, never seeing any changes.
As the old woman said, this is a turning point for their group.
After a few people exchanged eye contact, they made a decision.
They accepted the old woman’s invitation.
They didn’t know who the old woman was and why she was here. But to be able to live here, it must be very difficult for this person. But no matter how they insinuated, the old lady remained cheerful and did not disclose any information related to her identity.
In addition, the hospitality of the old lady made everyone a little confused.
They don’t know where the old lady found the ingredients, she even provided hot meals for everyone for more than ten days in a row. Although the food is quite simple, everyone is very grateful to have a full meal in this place.
After all their discussion, they couldn’t think of a way to leave for a while and so, they decided to rest here temporarily.
The cabin has two rooms. The old lady generously gave them the larger room, and she went to the smaller room.
For a while after that, everyone remained in the room and discussed how to leave this place while waiting for Feng Shao to wake up.
This wait lasted for more than a month.
The reason why they knew it was more than a month was thanks to the old lady entertaining everyone for dinner every day. They roughly determine the time by the frequency of eating.
Although there is no danger of life here for a while, there is no way to leave, which makes everyone feel that the future is bleak. Their only hope now is that Feng Shao can wake up as soon as possible, and then figure out a way to take them away.
Tang Fei also asked the old woman how to leave, but the old woman shook her head and said, “If I could leave, I would have left a long time ago.”
Tang Fei suddenly turned pale with shock, and quickly asked, “Then ma’am, how long have you been staying in this place?”
The old woman showed a pensive look, and after a long while, she murmured, “It seems to be a few thousand years!”
The corner of Tang Fei’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch violently.
Although there is no spiritual energy fluctuation from the old woman to the point that she looks like an ordinary person, how can a person who can live in such a place for thousands of years be an ordinary person? So after Tang Fei heard this answer, he didn’t feel doubt, but despair.
This old woman must have thought of many ways to leave in the past thousands of years, but in the end, she was still trapped here until now. What about them? How long will it take for them to think of a way to leave? Several years? Decades? Or do they need to count in centuries?
Maybe they will also be trapped here for a few thousand years like the old woman!
But Tang Fei was still unwilling to give up, so he began to ask, trying to find out more information, “Ma’am, how did you come here for so many years?”
The old woman replied, “I’ve been waiting for someone here. Although he hasn’t come yet, I know that he will definitely come.”
Having said that, a faint smile appeared on the old lady’s face.
When Tang Fei saw this smile, for some reason, he vaguely saw a young girl with a bright smile on that extremely old cheek.
Tang Fei didn’t know who the old woman was waiting for, but he was really jealous of that person.
Because there is a person who is willing to wait a thousands of years for him.
