My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 699 - 235 Carving Picture_3
But at the top of this genuine waterfall, besides a wide and long river that Du Xixi couldn’t see the end of, there were surprisingly lush trees. Huge trees towered into the sky, and even the land under her feet, which she thought was barren soil, was actually a vast grassy field. Du Xixi took a few steps in place, feeling the real softness beneath her feet.
Is this really reasonable? Du Xixi hadn’t studied this professionally in detail, so she couldn’t conclude whether it was reasonable or not. She only hesitated a bit when she saw the two iron-eating beasts, already nearly lying down and asleep from exhaustion, choosing instead to go to a nearby place to take a look herself.
Since both of these iron-eating beasts lay down without any fear, it was apparent that there was no immense danger that could threaten her life here. Du Xixi placed her hand over her heart, and her heartbeat and intuition told her that this place was safe too.
Inexplicably, although Du Xixi lifted her left leg, she walked towards the right, which wasn’t the direction her body faced. By the time she realized it, she had already walked several meters to the right. Du Xixi was momentarily stunned but continued walking in that direction.
Sometimes, the choices made by one’s own body are the truly correct ones — this understanding had helped Du Xixi many times. This time, she also chose to trust her body. After all, coming here was actually a decision made by her own body.
The direction she walked was a place with especially lush vegetation. Even from a dozen meters away, Du Xixi could vaguely see something resembling a house. It was hidden behind a few giant trees.
Coming closer, Du Xixi confirmed it was a house, and inexplicably felt a bit of apprehension. It wasn’t fear that something inside might endanger her life, but rather that everything in this world seemed so primitive. Yet suddenly, there appeared such an obviously man-made house. How could Du Xixi not overthink it?
Could it be that there are actually other people existing in this world? This "other person" can even control the actions of beasts, getting them to help with tasks?
Du Xixi turned to look at the two obvious black-and-white lumps and walked towards the small wooden cabin without any hesitation. As she stepped on the few stone steps before the cabin, Du Xixi was still mentally preparing herself.
If someone opened the door when she knocked, how should she communicate with them? Are they good or bad? Why did they get the iron-eating beasts to bring her here?
Du Xixi took a deep breath, and a kitchen knife reappeared in her right hand. Her left hand, which was free, knocked appropriately on the door once she settled there. The wooden door seemed to have existed for a long time, and knocking on it made soft, rustling sounds.
Du Xixi knocked on the door three times consecutively, politely waiting for quite a while in between. Logically speaking, if there were someone inside, they would definitely come to open the door by now. But since no one came, Du Xixi felt the probability of someone living here instantly dropped to very low. She pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
The cold light of the kitchen knife was still tightly gripped in her hand. If anything dangerous appeared inside, having this kitchen knife nearby allowed Du Xixi to protect herself in an emergency.
This small cabin wasn’t large; Du Xixi had seen it clearly from outside, at most about half the size of Ke Lian and Du Xixi’s room. Yet, the specifications inside were not simple. From the kitchen to the bedroom, everything was unexpectedly complete, surprising Du Xixi!
In such a small and cramped wooden cabin, there was no need to worry about danger appearing now. Du Xixi put the kitchen knife back into the Space Button and then opened the cabin’s window, letting the sun’s bright rays pour inside.
The small cabin was slightly dusty, and sunlight fell sparsely through the window, not only illuminating the cabin but also casting several beams of Tyndall light in the air. This made Du Xixi unable to resist reaching out to touch them. But light is just light, and Du Xixi’s efforts only resulted in a slightly dazzling white reflection on her alabaster skin.
Du Xixi merely laughed, thinking that before she came to this world, she had always been cooped up in a house, with sunlight barely reaching her. It caused her naturally alabaster skin to become even more luminous and translucent. If it became any fairer, who knows to what shocking degree it would reach.
Fortunately, she frequently sunbathed in this world with Ke Lian. She believed her once healthy yet fair skin would soon return.
Du Xixi withdrew her hand, noticing the thick layer of dust accumulating in the cabin and that objects seemed not to have been moved for a long time. She guessed it was an unused small cabin whose owner had long been away.
But even if the owner wasn’t there, this cabin still had an owner. Du Xixi hesitated a bit, unsure about casually rummaging through things. She merely walked around a little, eventually drawn to a carved picture on the cabin wall. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
This carved picture was indeed just a carved picture, painstakingly etched little by little with a small knife. Though the carving was crude, Du Xixi inexplicably sensed the artist’s emotions when she lightly touched it with her fingers.
Despair, yet seeming to harbor some hope.
Du Xixi looked again at the content of the picture, which seemed somewhat familiar.
