There was a heavy rain from dusk until late at night, and it didn't mean to stop. Deep in the mountains, in a small wooden house near the stream, the owner lit a dusk light. The light came from the window of the house. It was the only smoke in the forest.

The wind suddenly became strong, and the raincoat at the door of the cabin was blowing noisily. The whole cabin was very fragile in the wind, and it seemed that it would collapse in a few seconds. But the owner of the cabin didn't care. He was still preparing dinner in front of the fire. A yellow dog sat at his feet, with big watery eyes staring at the pot on the fire.

The owner raised his hand and touched the dog's head: "don't worry, it will be better soon, soon."

The dog wagged its tail and stuck out its tongue.

"Dong Dong Dong." There was a knock at the door, which was not loud, but very loud on a stormy night.

The master stopped and looked at the door. He didn't plan to open the door.

When the dog heard the voice, he also calmed down and stared at the door fiercely. The people outside seemed to be worried and knocked on the door again: "is anyone there?" People outside the door speak first.

The master threw the spoon into the pot: "who?"

The people outside the door heard the old voice and said, "old man, we are here to climb the mountain. We are separated from the team, lost our way, and caught in a storm. We want to spend the night with you."

The host frowned, with an impatient expression on his face. He obviously didn't believe what people outside said.

The man added: "old man, we'll stay overnight and leave when the rain stops."

The owner looked at the dog next to him. The dog trotted all the way to the door and smelled it carefully across the door. After a long time, he barked to the owner twice.

The old man limped to the door and took the ugly wood down. He opened the door and looked at the people who had been wet outside for a few seconds. He took the light and said, "come in."

A few people outside saw that the old man agreed, and they went in front of and behind.

After they entered the house, the old man closed the door and closed it with the ugly wood.

A few people came into the house, looking a little cramped. The wooden house was even smaller than they thought. All of a sudden, four people felt a little crowded.

The old man looked at them again: "sit by the fire and bake. The rain can't stop for a while. I have a small place here, so you can make do with it."

One of the younger men laughed: "we are very grateful that you can take us in, old man." He took out a purse from his arms and put it into the old man's hand: "this is your reward."

The old man ordered the weight of his purse and gave it back to the young man: "no, I don't need these in the mountains and forests here."

The young man pushed and pushed several times, and finally put the purse away.

When the old man turned his head to look at it, he saw that the man with long hair and cold face was holding a petite woman in his arms. The woman's face was pale and her lips were black. The old man winked at the little dog. The little dog slowly leaned to the woman's side and smelled it. The old man's face changed slightly. Although he lit the lamp just now, he only saw four people. Unexpectedly, they even carried one person on their back. The old man was worried: "is this your companion?"

The man with long hair and cold face didn't speak. It seemed that his bodyguard and other people said, "yes." The young man immediately came up and explained, "she fell down when she went down the mountain just now and fainted."

The old man answered and didn't say much. He just went to the fire and continued to stir the pot with a wooden spoon

My porridge. Five people sit together and all of a sudden are silent. A strange atmosphere rises in the cabin. It seems that something big is about to happen. The wind outside became more and more fierce, and the coir raincoat at the door was blown so that the whole wooden house could hear it clearly.

After a long time, another young man said, "how can the old man live alone in the mountains and forests?"

While stirring the porridge, the old man replied: "I'm old, and I don't want to participate in the outside affairs. It's best that no one bothers me here."

After hearing this, the young man complimented: "it seems that old man is still a hermit. Today we are lucky to meet you."

Listening to the young man's words, the old man gave a cold hum: "it's not an expert, but an ordinary citizen. When the rain stops, you'll leave as soon as possible."

Young man see set close to failure, his face will not hang: "old man here on weekdays are so recreational?"

"How can we amuse ourselves? There is nothing in this deep mountain but hunting

There's something else to do The old man still didn't put down his guard and didn't want to say anything to them. He just wanted to spend the night safely. After all, he had lived here for so many years, so many people must be abnormal all of a sudden, not to mention they had one

Thinking of this, the old man glanced at the woman he was holding.

The man with long hair and cold face seemed to feel his eyes and looked up at him. The man with long hair had a chill in his eyes. The old man frowned and turned to look at the porridge in his pot.

"Hunting?" The young man continued: "it's technical work, but I think you're such a small dog. Can you hunt?"

The dog barked when he heard that. The old man raised his hand and touched his head to make him quiet: "my dog, although he is small, he is very human. He can deal with an adult blind bear."

"Well, it's so powerful. It sounds a bit like a different story

The kind of beast that people say. " The young man joked, "isn't it really a beast?"

When the old man heard the word "beast", his face changed slightly and he didn't answer.

When the young man saw that the old man's face had changed, he laughed awkwardly. The cabin was quiet again. The old man pricked up his ears. In the room, except for him and the dog, there were only four people breathing, four people.

His eyes widened for a moment, and soon changed back to their original appearance.

"Gulu Gulu." The stomach of the man sitting opposite the old man suddenly cried.

The old man looked up at him. The man touched his head with a simple and honest smile. The old man rolled his eyes: "you can eat after a while. Don't worry."

"Thank you."

After a while, the old man got up and took three bowls: "I don't have any extra bowls and chopsticks here, so you share one

Let's go. "

Except for the man with long hair, the other three looked at each other and agreed. The old man first filled a bowl of porridge and handed it to the man and two young men. The dog next to him barked when he saw it. He didn't seem very happy.

The old man touched his head and said, "don't worry, you're in it." With that, he handed another bowl to the dog, and finally left the pot for himself.

The three people across the street took a big drink with a bowl in their arms. They were really hungry. They had been driving for so many days and were still hiding all the way. No one could stand it.
