I'm not a pet

Chapter 417 An Earthquake Is Coming
Although Guo Lin said that the witch was not in the cottage, Hu Tuo was still not at ease, and decided to check it out himself.

If it is true what Guo Lin said, then he will start to mess up Oasis City next.

On the second day, Hu Tuo went straight to the border between Oasis City and the desert with a team of guards.

When he saw the thatched hut in the distance, Hu Tuo stopped and ordered two guards with higher mana to shift shape and go over to have a look.

The two guards tremblingly moved to the thatched hut, pricked up their ears and listened for a while, but they really didn't hear any movement in the house, so they boldly walked into the thatched hut one after the other.

After a while, the two reappeared outside the thatched cottage, waving to Hu Tuo and his party from a distance.

Seeing this, Hu Tuo led the guards and walked to the thatched cottage in a mighty manner.

There are two dilapidated thatched cottages inside and outside, without even a gate.

Just as Hu Tuo was about to enter the house, he suddenly felt a gust of wind in the desert behind him, blowing the yellow sand all over the ground ten feet high.

Some of the guards guarding outside the thatched cottage were caught off guard by the violent wind and sand, and their mouths, noses and eyes were temporarily lost in the sand.

All of a sudden, the guards coughed or cursed in a low voice, and rubbed their mouths, noses and eyes that were bewildered by the sand.

Hu Tuo was also shocked. He quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, squinted his eyes and turned to look at the desert not far away.

This gust of sandstorm is very strange...

But before he saw the trick, he faintly felt that besides the protruding wind and sand, the ground in the desert in front of him also trembled...

The shock came from far to near, and it came fiercely.

If you listen carefully, you may still be able to hear the low humming sounds coming from the sandy ground.

"This... what is this sound? Why do I feel the ground shaking?"

"Ah, ah...the ground under my feet is moving, is this going to be an earthquake?"

"Will the ground collapse? Is it dangerous for me to stay here?..."

"..."

For a moment, the guards panicked and rubbed their eyes fascinated by Shasha vigorously, trying to quickly see what happened in front of them.

But the shock was like a big stone dropped in a calm lake, the waves stirred up, the ripples dispersed, and everything returned to calm soon.

There is no five interest time before and after.

As the ground returned to calm, the wind and sand gradually receded, and looking at the desert again, it seemed that nothing had happened just now.

Hu Tuo brushed the yellow sand all over his head and face, while looking at several guards who were still in shock, he scolded:

"Desert areas are so changeable, you can't wait to see all kinds of monsters and disturb people's hearts!"

The guards shrunk their necks and lowered their heads, no one dared to say anything more.

Seeing that the guards were all in awe, Hu Tuo quietly calmed down his heart that had been beating violently due to the trembling of the ground just now, turned his head again, and walked into the thatched cottage.

The thatched hut is very small, and the inside and outside rooms are immediately clear to everyone as the thick cloth curtain is rolled up.

As Guo Lin said, it is extremely simple...

Several guards surrounded Hu Tuo and walked into the house, and the already small thatched house seemed cramped.

Hu Tuo walked to the table and saw that there was indeed a thick layer of dust on the table, which confirmed Guo Lin's statement that no one had lived in this house for a long time.

The two guards who first entered the inner room for inspection quickly walked out and said to Hu Tuo:
"My lord, there is nothing suspicious inside!"

Hu Tuo nodded in satisfaction, turned his head and glanced at the thatched cottage again, and walked out.

The witch is not here, he can finally relax.

And yesterday he asked carefully the guards who had been patrolling the oasis city recently, and they all said that they had never seen any suspicious person similar to that witch.

Today, after entering the thatched cottage to investigate, Hu Tuo even began to wonder whether he had seen it wrong that night.

How could such a simple and cramped thatched hut be the hiding place for that seemingly clean and refreshing witch?
Walking out of the hut, Hu Tuo took the lead to lead the guards back home.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again.

Turning around again, he threw the big fireball in his hand towards the hut.

In an instant, the thatched cottage caught fire and ignited, and the fire quickly spread wantonly on the thatched cottage.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing that the thatched hut was burnt down in an instant, Hu Tuo suddenly felt in a good mood.

Regardless of whether this place is a resting place for witches or not, it seems that only by burning it to ashes can Hu Tuo's injured body and mind be comforted on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month.

With Hu Tuo's triumphant and ferocious smile, the thatched cottage finally burned to ashes.

The wind blows and the ashes scatter...

There is no longer the small thatched hut watching the desert.

"Go! Go to Oasis City!"

Hu Tuo pointed in the direction of Oasis City and shouted at the guards.

……

Meishui, who is far away in Nuoma Village, knows that the thatched hut that has been sheltering Master and himself for many years has been burned down at this time, and he is afraid that he will even fight Hu Tuo desperately.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know.And when he knew it, it was too late.

After Lu Yunchu and Baozhu left Oasis City, Meishui started running between Oasis City and Norma Village again.

In the first few days, I was worried that if the master could not find anyone else when he returned, he would go back and forth the next day.

But then he came back to his senses and laughed at himself for being too stupid.

If Master didn't see him when he came back, he would definitely think that he was in Nuoma Village.

In the past ten years, apart from Oasis City, he has only stayed in Norma Village.

After figuring it out, he simply stayed in Norma Village and rarely returned to Oasis City.

It's not that he loves Ding Dong's sons and daughters because of his greed, and it's not that he can't bear the loneliness and has to go to Norma Village to have fun.

Instead, he discovered that since Lu Yunchu and Baozhu left Nuoma Village, when he returned to the village, Elder Luo told him that the seal at the bottom of the lake seemed to have changed again.

It's not so much a change, it's better to say that the number and magnitude of the seal's vibrations have decreased this time.

The people of Norma Village, who are used to having to endure the violent vibrations of the ground for one or two hours a day, are not used to it for a while...

Of course, this adaptation was quickly forgotten by the villagers.

It's just that Elder Luo felt faintly uneasy.

He also went down to the lake with Mei Shui to investigate again with Bi Haizhu, and even waited for two or three hours, just to observe the vision of the seal.

But the seal really gradually ceased to have any abnormalities, and gradually calmed down.

It was so peaceful that Elder Luo felt weird, always feeling that something big was going to happen under this calm.

It was also because of this that Mei Shui did not dare to leave Nuoma Village easily, and observed the seal with Elder Luo every day.

Until a few days ago, the villagers who had just gone out to pick cistanche suddenly returned to the village in a panic.

When I asked why, I found out that there was an unprovoked wind, sand and rocks in the desert, and the ground was accompanied by violent vibrations.

Wind and sand and rocks are indeed common in deserts, and they are often caused by sandstorms.

But the ground shook violently, unless it was caused by monsters in the desert, this vision would not appear.

For several days, Mei Shui went out of the village to investigate in the desert.

After this investigation, it was discovered that the vibration would occur every half a day, and it was definitely not caused by monsters.

And Mei Shui also noticed that the center of the vibration was gradually spreading from the depths of the desert to all around.
