She just said, "Take me to see your lovely brother Hansel! After eating so much, he must have gained a lot of weight during this time. He is almost ready to eat."
"Now that the frog is gone, let's eat it. Gretel, you will like the taste."
"Ah, let me think about it, what kind of animal should he turn into? A lamb? A suckling pig, or a calf? It's really hard to decide..."
The old woman talked about cannibalism lightly, but Gretel's expression became increasingly angry, with worry flashing in her eyes.
She interrupted the old woman's thoughts and said, "Teacher, Hansel has been refusing to eat during the days he was locked up. Now not only is he not fat, but he has also lost a lot of weight. He is dying and may die at any time."
"Dead people are nothing new." The old woman said to herself after hearing this, and then she stared at Gretel with scarlet eyes, "Did you lie to me? Is it because he is your brother? Gretel
, I have told you many times, we are different from ordinary people..."
"It's true! If you don't believe it, you can go over and have a look!" Gretel's expression was particularly impatient, but her tone was very respectful and a little aggrieved.
As expected, every woman is a self-taught actor.
The old woman thought for a while and then said, "Okay, I just want to go take a look."
After saying that, he let Gretel lead the way, and the two of them arrived at the backyard.
There was a small stable in the backyard, surrounded by an iron fence, and inside was a slender black figure.
The dark shadow is Gretel’s captured brother Hansel.
The old woman walked tremblingly to the stable and ordered in a cold and sharp voice. She was not as patient with Hansel as she was with Gretel, "Hansel, stretch out your finger and let me touch you. You have gained weight."
No?"
A rough finger carved from slender bone stretched out.
In such a dark night, the old woman's eyesight was even worse, and her scarlet eyes could only see blurry shadows.
When she touched it with her hands as cold as poisonous snakes, she felt that Hansel was as thin as skin to bone.
The old woman immediately took away her palm in disappointment, "How can you eat if you are so thin?"
She looked at Gretel and asked, "Gretel, did you eat all the candy and food you gave him every day?"
"Didn't I tell you? You just need to eat the crab powder I gave you? You can eat other things as you like. That crab powder is not an ordinary thing. It will greatly increase your magic power.
The benefits." The old woman said in a gentle tone.
Gretel had no choice but to say yes again and again.
Although the old woman seems to be very kind to her now and really treats her as a successor, Gretel will never forget the way the old woman looked at her as if she were eating food when she first came here with Hansel.
.
If her magic talent hadn't been discovered by the old woman later, maybe the two of them would have met in the old witch's belly now.
Gretel knew very well that the reason why she received this treatment was because the old woman wanted to rely on her to rebuild the Candy House. She believed that the Candy House had hope of a comeback in Gretel's hands.
Gretel once heard an old woman say that the Candy Cottage was very prosperous in the past. Unfortunately, several witches fought over the treasures of the Candy Cottage, especially a wishful cloak that could move freely, and a fierce war broke out.
As a result of the war, a witch escaped with a wishful cloak, and she obtained two other treasures-a wand and a flute, but the price was that her eyes suffered irreparable damage and were permanently in a semi-
The state of blindness.
As for the other witches in Candy House, they all died in that war.
There are no winners in war.
Now, only the old woman was guarding the empty candy hut, and the Ruyi cloak fell into William's hands.
Things are always so unpredictable!
"Teacher, I have been eating the crab meat you gave me. As for Hansel's food, I have never touched it." Gretel's eyes when she looked at the old woman were actually full of hatred, but her tone was very...
calm.
"Oh, in that case, let's feed it for a while longer." The old woman said firmly.
The black figure in the small stable breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. His figure was in a place where light and shadow intersected, and it was blurry. Only a pair of sky-blue eyes were revealed, looking at Gretel.
Gretel also nodded heavily at him, cheering him up with her eyes, and the two communicated silently with their eyes.
At this time, the old woman walked towards the front yard without looking back.
Gretel had no choice but to give Hansel an encouraging look, and then followed the old woman back.
In the candy house, Gretel and the old woman were speechless, and the atmosphere was very awkward.
Greta thought for a moment and then asked, "Teacher, that frog..."
"Don't ask, that's not something you should be concerned about! Greta, you should accumulate your magic power. As long as your magic power is strong, nothing in the world will bother you."
"Yes, mentor." Gretel said, but she thought about this matter even more deeply.
"Go and have a good rest! There are more important things waiting for you tomorrow!" the old woman said.
"Okay, mentor."
If I didn't know the cause and effect, seeing this scene, I would really think that the father is kind and the son is filial!

"It's been a week, sir, but we still haven't found the princess you mentioned who loves throwing golden balls."
"Sir, are you kidding us?"
"Although the Principality of Salz is only a small country, the Hasma family is not a long-standing or famous family on the mainland. The only quality that can be praised is that it will never stop until death!"
Henry, the loyal guard, walked around the room and said to William.
"Sir, is there any error in your information? How can a person turn into a frog? Why don't you just kill our prince if you have this spare time?"
Henry talked about the doubtful points in the case and said.
"You may have misunderstood. The reputation of the Hasma family, which started in business, is not inferior to my name in the mainland, but even surpasses mine!" William closed his eyes and never opened them.
"And my information is absolutely accurate!"
"Your task is not to complain to me here, but to continue investigating!"
