If it wasn’t the prince who picked up Cinderella, who could it be?
When Lin Sanjiu took half a step back and bumped into Emma's dining table, she was still thinking about this problem in her mind.
It wasn't until a few milliseconds later that the sound of rain and the barking of dogs suddenly hit her ears. She finally woke up and quickly raised her head - looking through the dim wooden house to the opposite side, where Little Red Riding Hood was hiding in fear.
Behind Emma, her hands tightly grasped her grandmother's clothes, with only a pair of eyes looking at her.
A few flashes of lightning occasionally struck outside the window, whitening the room and illuminating the knife Emma held in her hand at some point.
Even though he knew it was useless, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but defend himself: "I'm not a werewolf..."
But Emma didn't even look at her. She clenched the knife with trembling hands and shouted loudly out of the house: "It's her! The werewolf must be her! You think of a way to save us!"
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but sigh.
She didn't even know what a werewolf looked like, and of course she couldn't tell who was lying. It would not be difficult for her to knock down or even kill everyone here - but the more she did this, the more she became embarrassed.
Sanjiu is unwilling to act rashly - what's more, it's still unclear what impact the death of a person will have on this copy...
The loud shouts of the hunters outside the house reached her ears through the layers of rain and fog. It sounded like they had already agreed to rush in - if they really let them in, the situation would be difficult to deal with. She walked to the door in a few steps and turned around.
He smiled bitterly at the heavily guarded Emma, grandson and grandson.
"I'm not a werewolf, and I don't know who is. But I won't go far. If there's any danger, just scream." After leaving this sentence that she didn't even know who she was talking to, Lin Sanjiu said
She opened the wooden door - the hunter outside was suddenly pulled by her and immediately fell into the house.
Before they could reveal their weapons, she picked up the hunter, threw it to the side, and rushed out. Like a leopard, she knocked away several people and dogs that rushed towards her. In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared into the rain.
inside.
The hunter who got up from the ground wanted to pursue him again, but where could he see any trace of Lin Sanjiu?
The hunters ran a few steps unwillingly. But standing in the forest with heavy rain at midnight, they could hardly see anything clearly. They didn't pursue them very far, so they had to turn around and return to Emma's hut.
Seeing the hunters coming, there was a "clang" and the knife in Emma's hand fell to the ground. Then she calmed down in shock and hugged Little Red Riding Hood tightly.
When there were more people, Emma and I were not so scared. After calming down, she lit the lamp, poured water for several people, and brought towels to wipe their faces. She kept saying thank you. But somehow, the dog
The barking still didn't stop. Evie muttered, "I don't think they will calm down for a while," and had to get up and go out to comfort his hounds. Amidst the barking of dogs from time to time, everyone talked for a while, and everyone
I determined that the strangely dressed woman just now must be a werewolf.
Little Red Riding Hood bit her lip and looked at this and that.
Seeing that it was getting late, Link was the first to stand up: "...Then we'll leave first, and you should be careful."
"Yes, I will." Emma avoided his eyes and sent a few people out of the house, "Thank you very much."
Evie's dog was still not very honest, but he was able to control it even though he grabbed the leash. After the backs of several people and one dog walked into the rain curtain, they quickly looked like a few strokes of paint. They were covered by the dim rain.
It was smeared from the curtain.
Emma watched them go away and closed the door.
As soon as she turned around, she met Little Red Riding Hood's bright black eyes - and in that moment, the hairs all over her body exploded.
"Grandma." Little Red Riding Hood called her softly.
The cabin became quiet and dim again, making Emma somewhat unclear about her granddaughter's expression.
"What...what's the matter, dear?" She didn't know why her voice was trembling a little.
In the darkness, as Little Red Riding Hood took a step forward, Emma involuntarily retreated to the window.
"I want to ask you something." The little girl's voice sounded a little strange.
Emma glanced at the knife that fell on the ground and remembered the unstoppable barking of the dogs just now.
"Baby, come here and tell me, let grandma see you..." She mustered up the courage to smile.
Unexpectedly, Little Red Riding Hood responded obediently and walked to the window in a few steps.
Under the snow-white lightning that lit up from time to time, although her little face was a little pale, it still looked like the usual Little Red Riding Hood - not a werewolf - Emma breathed a sigh of relief, feeling vaguely self-blame.
Before her guilt subsided, Little Red Riding Hood's words suddenly made her brain freeze: "...Grandma, how many hunters are there in total who came to help us just now?"
Emma thought for a while, feeling that the cold seemed to have affected her mind. "Three, three!"
As soon as the words came out, she felt something was wrong. This was not a big number. Why did she hesitate...?
"There's Link, Evie, and Richard...right?" Little Red Riding Hood asked, chasing after him.
"Yes, yes..." Emma couldn't remember anyone else. "What happened?"
"But there were four people who came out of the house just now." Little Red Riding Hood stretched out a white finger and touched the cold window.
"Hey...who is that?"
The same sentence just appeared in Emma's mind, and then Link vomited it out of his lips.
Because they all hoped to go home early and dry their wet clothes soaked by the rain, several brave and experienced hunters agreed to take a shortcut in the forest - the so-called shortcut was actually just a shortcut in the dense forest.
, it’s just a narrow gap that has been stepped on a little flat. In the dense and dark forest, when it rains, almost nothing can be seen clearly, and all that can be seen is a deep black.
It was precisely for this reason that the few people walked in silence for a long time. Link accidentally turned around and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because...Evie is not that tall.
But with this tall black figure in mind, there were indeed only three figures walking in the woods at the moment.
Link was worthy of being an experienced hunter for twenty years. He pulled Richard over and quickly pulled out the long knife from his waist: "...Who are you? Where is Evie?"
Could it be the female werewolf from just now?
The tall black figure on the opposite side paused and said, "...Uh? I'm Richard. Isn't Evie by your side?"
Oh, by the way, Richard is tall too.
The feeling of relief had not yet spread throughout his body, but Link's calloused hands finally felt a rough, hard, needle-pricking sensation under his skin.
His memory of what happened next was a little blurry——
I only remember that in panic, I seemed to have swung the knife with all my strength - Richard's screams, the continuous pouring rain, the tall black figures rushing back and forth, and the sound of a sharp object scratching his stomach.
Severe pain...
Link seemed to be unconscious for a while. It was not until the huge cold raindrops woke him up that he vaguely realized what had just happened.
Not far away lay Richard's body. Even if the rain was so heavy, it still couldn't wash away the strong smell of blood... But it seemed that the body was still intact, as if it hadn't been eaten by a werewolf.
Since he didn't eat, why did he attack us? Link's broken mind could not draw any conclusions. He only relied on the remaining survival instinct in his body to crawl on the ground with difficulty, heading towards the road outside the forest.
Move it bit by bit.
There is a road leading to the city, and people will pass by it from time to time - once you get there, your chances of survival are higher.
A hole was opened in his body, and the fallen leaves, stones, and mud in the forest were all pierced into the flesh and blood with the crawling movement. Just when Link thought he was about to faint, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the distance.
A scream with a childish voice tore through the rainy night.
As soon as the sound reached his ears, Lin Sanjiu, who was squatting on the top of a tree at the other end of the forest, was shocked.
This was obviously Little Red Riding Hood's voice - she quickly slid down the tree and ran towards Emma's cabin.
Because she neither dared to hurt the plot characters nor stray too far away from them, she had no choice but to squat on the top of the tree and listen for any changes coming from the direction of the cabin. But since the noisy group of people and dogs left,
It was always quiet in the wooden house, and the only thing that could be heard was the sound of rain falling heavily from the sky.
Such a small distance was nothing to Lin Sanjiu - in just ten seconds, the wooden house was already in her sight.
The room was dark, but the door was wide open. Little Red Riding Hood's scream suddenly burst out again: "Grandma——!"
Damn it, the werewolf must be hiding near this house - Lin Sanjiu cursed secretly, and just as he rushed closer, his eyes suddenly blurred, and the raindrops that had been hitting him non-stop since just now disappeared.
Laila looked at her in surprise.
Lin Sanjiu still maintained a running posture, but she was about to knock over the dining table in front of her - she twisted around quickly and managed to steady her feet.
At this time, she felt that the clothes on her body had returned to comfortable dryness.
Laila still held a goblet in her hand, filled with something transparent. Judging from the blush on her face, it must be wine.
"What are you doing? You're such a weird person." Laila pinched Lin Sanjiu teasingly, "I've lived with you for several days, and I still don't understand you... Hey, I just talked to you
Did you hear what I said?"
Lin Sanjiu paused, her heart beating, and her eyes fell on the sumptuous dishes in front of her.
"...I didn't hear clearly, what did you say?" she asked a little rudely.
For some reason, Laila never gets angry with Lin Sanjiu and is always so close to her: "Really! I just said - my husband gave me all the keys in this castle, but he didn't allow me to open the upstairs.
The last room. Tell me, what is in the room?" (To be continued)
