Lin Sanjiu, who went back and forth several times between the three fairy tales, finally sighed tiredly and lay down on a wooden table.
The wooden table was very hard, and even though Emma, Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, had covered her with a thin layer of cushions, she could still feel the hard and uneven wood against her.
Compared with Laila, Emma's life is indeed too poor. The whole wooden house only has one bedroom and a living room, and there is not even an extra bed. The only valuable household item is a side that is said to be a gift from the king.
The mirror that came down - in the old days, due to insufficient technology, translucent mirrors that could illuminate people clearly were extremely rare treasures.
In the dim light reflected by the mirror, Lin Sanjiu turned over a few times and listened to her grandfather and grandson talking in low voices. The anxiety in her heart was like a fire, burning away her sleepiness.
net.
It was already night in all three places.
After being pulled by Laila's hand and asked to sleep on the same big bed, Lin Sanjiu was sent to Cinderella's stepmother's house to share a big haystack with Cinderella. When she left Emma's cabin
When I opened my eyes, I had completely lost the concept of time.
Since the reference objects were always changing, Lin Sanjiu couldn't even estimate how long it had been since he came in.
Have Xue Jin and the others seen the letter she left? Is the way out that Gong Daoyi told me really reliable? And most importantly...how can she leave this dungeon?
So far, although there is an additional person like her, the three fairy tales are still proceeding according to the existing trajectory - if there is any difference, it is probably that Little Red Riding Hood has not met the wolf yet...
Could it be said that the breakthrough is here?
But he didn't even know the target in this copy yet... Lin Sanjiu sighed heavily.
The room was quiet for a while because of this sigh, and then Little Red Riding Hood's soft voice rang in the dark night: "...What's bothering you?"
"No, I'm fine." Lin Sanjiu responded hurriedly, feeling Emma's eyes staring at him unblinkingly in the darkness. "It's just that I have to get to a place quickly, so I'm a little anxious...
…”
Just now when everyone was sharing the cake, Emma had already been asking Lin Sanjiu insinuating questions for a long time. Perhaps because of some complicated past experiences, she was very defensive, which was very different from her granddaughter. Even if she hadn't
No matter what fault Lin Sanjiu said, when going to bed at night, Emma still chose the side close to Lin Sanjiu and placed Little Red Riding Hood on the other end of the bed.
A few people exchanged a few words in low voices. I don’t know when the background sound of rainwater hitting the window lattice gradually became added to the conversation. Looking out the window, I saw that the patter of raindrops was getting faster and faster.
The fierce momentum washed over this dilapidated hut.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but think of Little Red Riding Hood's words "There are no guests" and subconsciously asked: "Miss Emma, where are you... uh, dancing? Look at the rain today, it's quite heavy."
Suddenly there was a "snap" in the darkness, and then Little Red Riding Hood screamed in pain. It seemed that Little Red Riding Hood had been beaten by her grandmother.
"This child talks nonsense about everything..." Emma's voice rarely sounded a little embarrassed, "That was all many years ago, because my daughter almost stopped interacting with me, so I stopped doing it.
Now I just do some crafts at home and sell them to make money."
Probably seeing that the other party was also a woman, and she didn't show any intention of looking down on her, Emma said a little too much.
"However, since she stopped dancing, my daughter has gradually regained contact with me... You see, after she heard that I was feeling unwell, didn't she ask Little Red Riding Hood to bring me a cake?" She sounded like it.
There is also a little bit of relief.
Lin Sanjiu's mind moved, and she was about to ask them if they had seen any other "travelers from far away" before, but before she could say anything, she was suddenly interrupted by a sudden dog barking outside the house - it seemed like several times.
A big dog was barking at the top of his lungs. The barks came one after another and became one. It was getting closer and closer to the hut, and in the blink of an eye it was already at the door.
The three people in the room suddenly sat up and rushed to the window in surprise.
Through the heavy rain curtain, the three of them saw several dark dog shadows outside, as tall as half a man, barking at the cabin like crazy.
Little Red Riding Hood was the first to be frightened. She held Lin Sanjiu with her cold hands, then looked up at her grandma, with a cry in her voice: "...Whose dog is this? What are they doing? Why are they so scary?
?”
Emma's face also turned a little pale: "...This seems to be Evie's dog?"
From what she said, this man named Evie seemed to be one of the hunters who lived not far away.
Let alone dogs, even if there were dog monsters outside, Lin Sanjiu wouldn't take it too seriously - just as she was about to turn around and open the door, she said "I'll drive them away" in her mouth when a man
The roar interrupted his thoughts.
"Emma! Are you still alive?"
Emma was stunned for a moment. Although she was a little confused by this question, she still hurriedly responded in a loud voice, "Link, I'm here," and reached out to pull the door open.
Unexpectedly, she had just opened the wooden door a crack, and someone suddenly pulled the door shut from the outside.
Emma's hands froze in the air, staring at the wooden door, her face looking ugly.
"Are you kidding me?" She took a breath and shouted out the door in a serious tone: "My little red riding hood is here too today, don't scare her, get the dog away!"
This sentence was heard outside the house, and the man who had just spoken suddenly became silent. Only the barking of dogs became more and more intense, rushing into the eardrums one after another, as if they were about to overturn the house.
After a few seconds, another man's voice asked: "...Are you two alone in the room?"
Lin Sanjiu was startled and slowly turned her head, just in time to meet Emma's long and slender eyes.
"...There is another guest." Emma stared out the window, and Lin Sanjiu saw that her knuckles turning white while holding on to the window sill. "...Why do you ask this?"
"Evie! Richard! You take the dogs and go into the yard!"
After the man named Link shouted urgently, he turned his attention to the wooden house again.
"I just realized something was wrong, so I quickly called Evie and Richard over..."
"The rain is so heavy now, and our hounds are still acting so manic, which shows that my guess is correct."
