It turned out that we were in a residential area, but not a village, because by relying on just a flashlight, I could see there were only about four or five houses made of wood.
This place we came to was just empty land, maybe once here also forest, but when there were people who came, some of the trees were cut down and eventually became a settlement.
The houses were not as far apart as in the valley village of mayit, and from the roof each house emitted smoke which meant that each house had its inhabitants..
Me, Novi, and Gilank were walking in the middle of the road. A makeshift road that the people here might make, and this road seems to go into the forest that is in front of us.
So as an illustration, these houses seem to be just a place to live, and the road they make is to make it easier for residents here to go to the village or market, or market, while we had entered the residential area here through the forest side.
And what makes me curious, the house here is not the size of a house in the valley of mayit, maybe the size is only half of the house in the valley of mayit.
“How Nov, we tap one of the houses here or how, apparently every house there is a resident kok”
“Iya mas Wil, try to ask for help to be able to stay here for a while, and tomorrow morning we go from here mas”
“Sik Wil, I really feel there is something strange about the house here” cut Gilank
“Whatever how is Lank?”
“Each house emits smoke, and the smoke that is slightly black makes my eyes sore and watery.. Now imagine who's inside that house, aren't they blind and sick to the lungs from breathing that ugly smoke?” Gilank
“Yes yes Lank, really what you said, when viewed from the smoke coming out of the roof of the house, it could be inside the house full of smoke”
“Gini ae you know Wil, we try to open the door of one of the houses there, who knows in it there is indeed a person hehehe”
“Ya wis lank….. Let's try the last one first, let's not be curious hehehe”
The three of us approached one of the houses closest to us in position, the house above which was also emitting quite thick smoke.
A strange house, with a shape as small and as low as this, obviously impossible to use as a place to live, if I really feel this house is a house that is used as a production house something.
The door of the house that only uses wood arranged sober also issued smoke between the wood…
From outside here it turns out that the door of the house was locked using only the wood that was barred. The closer to the wall of the house, it feels warm.
Well because it's so cold out here that it feels warm close to this wooden wall, even though there is a thin mist but not as thick as there is in the valley of mayit.
“Awas Wil, I think the door is hot, be careful if you hold the door” said GIlank
“Mas, I think it does not need to be opened, Novi think this small building has no people, Novi think this small building is just a place for mas” fumigation
“No smoking of fish or meat, anyway it is not as a place to live. Maybe if we follow the road to the forest there we can meet with the house of the people of mas” said Novi
“Nah... fumigation, that's what I was thinking about Nov, I think I've seen a small building like this, and used as what, it's just that I kind of forgot”
“Ya already... means sure that what is here is not a house to live in, now how, we follow the path that leads to the middle of the forest, it is, or are we here until morning waiting for the owner of this place to come here?”
“I agree with Novi Wil, we better just follow the path that leads to the forest, but yes heheh it is already night, now it is, and our illumination is just a flashlight that you carry Wil” Gilank said
“Halah Lank, we do not need to pack a flashlight is also not papa, remember when we are in the white house, we walk without lighting at all, he said, our eyes will adjust to the conditions around us Lank”
Finally we decided to find the owner's house from this smoking place, most likely the owner's house is not far from here.
We walked through the path to get into the forest, we deliberately did not use a flashlight as lighting, well to just save battery, who knows this flashlight will be useful later.
This path goes into the middle of the forest, the darkness began to feel, if earlier when we were in a small house where smoking, the moonlight can still illuminate the place, if, but now the moonlight is blocked by the dense leaves of the big trees around here.
It turned out to be true to our guesses, about several tens of meters into the forest, far in front of us, I saw an oil lamp hanging in front of the house…. There are some oil lamps that are deliberately hung in front of the house instead of as lighting only.
“That's home of Nov” residents
“Iya mas, if from here it looks like it is a village ya”
“Iya Nov, but we still have to be careful with what we will face, I've been traumatized by the village in the valley of mayit. Don't let us meet such a horrible village again”
We continue and get closer to the village or settlement that is lined along this makadam road…
The closer to the settlement, the more I deg an , lest we who have come out of the tiger's nest, then into the crocodile nest.
But I guess not with this one…. About ten meters in front of us on the left was some kind of small post or guardhouse.
“That's like someone's guarding the rec, let's go to him rec” Gilank said
“Eh but be careful Lank, do not let them be surprised because of our arrival, and finally make all the citizens here confused”
“Ya nek it was the three of us who came to the post kamling it Wil... like in the post there were two people who were sitting around ya”
We decided to approach the guard post, we walked slowly, we did not want to scare people who were watching.
Getting closer to the guard post….
“Goodnight sir... “ my sap.
The two people in the post were shocked to see the three of us standing next to the post.
“You who!” asked one of the men while shining on us with the flashlight he was carrying
“We got lost sir.. We beg pak”'s help Novi said.
“You are from where, and how can you come from there” said the person who spoke earlier
“Eh here close to the post here, do not stand too far” said the other person
The three of us approached the guard post. The two men took turns shining on us with their flashlights. From the tip of the foot to the end of the hair.
“Hmm you are indeed human.. “ said the first person.
“We are indeed human sir, and we got lost”
“Or put it this way, you guys I brought to the house of Jati sir first, he is the manager of this village” said the second person
“Later you can explain to Mr. Jati, because not only you guys who come here while saying that you are lost, a few days ago there was also someone coming here…. Let me take you to the house of Jati” sir said the second person
