The chickens are in various stages of butchering. Some are freshly decapitated and dripping blood, some are freshly plucked, and some look like they are ready for cooking. They all hang on a line.
These birds are going to feed the villagers. Certainly you aren't going to steal their food.
It's a tight line fastened from wall to wall across the corner of the hut. From it, hang several dead chickens.
The room is secured to the walls of the hut. That and it is not yours to take.

The large bats are about the size of a housecat. From what you can tell, they have leathery wings and pointy teeth. Gross.
If you could catch one, what would plan to do with it? Let it gnaw your face off? Leave it alone unless you have a better plan.
Even though they aren't as large, they are creepier. They fly more erratically and much faster than the big ones, seemingly disappearing and reappearing in the night sky. Watching them in this cold desert air sends shivers up your spine.
They are too small, too fast, and too high for you to catch. Leave those gross things alone.

You aren't sure exactly what they are... There can't be bats that large can there? They are almost your size... and they are fast. The colony of smaller bats part the dark, cold sky as one cuts through at great speeds. You better keep your distance from those big critters!
The bat glides around in search of food and you can hear a faint squeak every once and a while.
You cannot take the bat. It is out of reach. Besides, what would you do with it?

bats
The black cloud of bats that zip to and fro come in three shapes and sizes. You big out the large ones quite easily and the smaller ones continue to dart around sporadically. Most disturbing are the enormous bats that have now camouflaged themselves amongst the smaller ones.
Don't be ludicrous.

The gnawing, clawing, and shrieking bats seem to reverberate through the walls and into the room.
The hellish bat composed percussion beyond the walls has faded for now.
The screeching above you is about all you can hear and the sky above you looks like a black, rippling ocean.
The sky above silences as the bats disappear in pursuit of some unfortunate prey.
msg ("It's horrendous. You cringe to imagine how many bats must be crawling along the outer walls. It's hard to concentrate in here.")
msg ("Despite you being out in the open, these bats are loud. The shrillness of their songs is loud and disturbing.")

The door stands in your way.
shanty
It's a shanty on the south side of the road. It is made of wood and tied together with various bits of metal wire. Its front door stands to your south.
Try knocking on the door genius.
Simple. Made of wood. Looks like it might have floated in as jettison, if there was an ocean nearby that would have washed it ashore. On it, at eye level, is a wooden sign with the word 'HUGO' written in white lettering.

It's just the wood that has been used to build the shanty. Nothing special.
You take the wood from this shanty and it might fall down. That would be rude.
If you remove the wire from the shanty, the wood might fall apart. That would be rude and pointless.
The bits of wire looks like it has been gathered from a variety of sources. It holds the wood together.

All you can deduce is that the man is short and big-eyed. He is waiting on you and it appears to be rather impatient.
'Quit wasting my time!'
'Leave me alone!'
'Why do you keep bugging me!'
'I'm old. I'm hungry. And I don't need you!'
'Get off my... get of my... my... GO AWAY!'
'Shoo! Go away!'
'Grrrrr....' Did he just growl at you or was that his stomach?
'Rude. You... Are... Rude.'
'Quit bothering an old man!'

It's a sign on the front door of the shanty that reads "HUGO".
It says "HUGO" in painted, white lettering.
The inside of the shanty is cluttered. You wonder if its occupant is a hoarder? There is, what you would call junk, haphazardously stacked and piled in the very small room. Hugo sits nearby on a tree stump that is covered in a ratty cloth.
