Chapter 468
On the way to the kitchen, I didn’t see anything dangerous, but occasionally there were some strange shadows in a certain place, clustered together and motionless.
Chen Muxue guessed that this should be a symbol of those women who had stayed in the forbidden area for a long time. In the eyes of the young Chu Wuxin, they were numb and like a group of shadows with a low sense of existence. There was only a little shape, but nothing. Can't do it.
When she came to the kitchen, the door was ajar, which made Chen Muxue a little wary. Since she had just stabbed someone else's eye through the crack not long ago, she did not dare to peek through the crack in the door.
The kitchen window is open. Ancient kitchens did not have good smoke exhaust equipment. In order to prevent the fumes from being too suffocating when cooking, the windows were usually opened, and ventilation and other factors must be taken into consideration. After this window is opened, It rarely closes.
Therefore, even if it is not the peak period for cooking, the kitchen window is still open, but the door is ajar. If it is a meal, the door will usually be opened, not only for exhausting smoke, but also for transporting dishes, especially some soups. It may be inconvenient if the door is closed.
The view from the open window is much better than the crack in the door. Chen Muxue first glanced into the window from a distance. There seemed to be no monster inside. Then she cautiously stretched her head to look inside the window.
Unexpectedly, not only were there no monsters in the kitchen, but there was also a very kind-looking old lady cutting something.
Other than that, nothing else seems to exist.
Chen Muxue first glanced at the pot on the stove. She could tell at a glance that it was an ordinary pot, not her iron pot. This made her slightly disappointed, but soon her eyes locked on the old pot. The kitchen knife in the wife's hand.
The sun was gradually setting towards the west. Chen Muxue felt inexplicably that if she waited until dark, something more terrifying might happen. She hesitated for a while and decided not to wait for the old lady to come out. Besides, in case it was time for dinner, , the old lady is still busy inside, she may have to face more.
So Chen Muxue held the hairpin tightly and hid her little hands in her sleeves. She quietly opened the kitchen door and asked, "Is there anyone there?"
"Why!"
There was a commotion inside. As soon as the old lady heard someone's voice, she quickly put down what she was doing, wiped her hands and came.
With a "squeak", the kitchen door opened, and the old lady smiled so hard that her face wrinkled up: "It's you."
Although the old lady was not too tall, Chen Muxue, who was wearing Chu Wuxin's ten-year-old body, still had to look up at her slightly. This angle made her feel aggrieved and innocent: "Mother-in-law, can you give me something to eat?" , I’m so hungry.”
Her eyes quickly glanced at the old lady's hands. The latter did not hold the kitchen knife in her hands, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing this, the kind old lady immediately called her in: "You are a good boy. Come on, my mother-in-law will cook you a bowl of noodles."
Chen Muxue didn't know what the connection was between being hungry and being a good child. She just followed the old lady obediently, without missing a single opportunity to look at her surroundings.
Looks like a very ordinary kitchen.
After stepping into the kitchen, Chen Muxue suddenly felt a bit of warmth in her body. The warmth seemed to come from the bottom of her heart. Even her hands and feet, which had always been cold, began to warm up.(End of this chapter)
