"Did you say that you are Little Red Riding Hood?"
Even though Lin Sanjiu had a premonition, she still couldn't help asking when she heard those three words. At the same time, she jumped up from the bushes and sat up.
"Huh?"
The sun was bright and the wind carried the scent of grass. Lin Sanjiu could only hear the rustling of the flowers and grass. She looked around but there was no one around.
Lin Sanjiu was sitting on the ground. Under her legs was Little Daisy, which had fallen to the side. Judging from the footprints on the bushes, she should have been lying down.
She was still in the pocket dimension, but — "What was that? Was I dreaming? "Lin Sanjiu mumbled as she got up from the ground, feeling a little confused.
The forest where she met Little Red Riding Hood was quite a distance away from where she was now. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the direction of the forest. There was no one around. It was as if the little girl in the red hat and cloak was just a dream.
"Is there a meaning to dreaming in the pocket dimension?" After all, she didn't want to sleep just now...
Lin Sanjiu rubbed her temples and thought for a while. She still couldn't figure out what the dream was about. Slowly, another kind of anxiety rose in her heart.
She didn't have a watch on her, and there was no time in the pocket dimension. She had just woken up from her dream, so she really didn't know how long she had been in this pocket dimension.
Lin Sanjiu thought about Xueqin and the others who were fighting outside. She took a deep breath and suppressed the bewilderment in her heart. She chose a random direction and started walking.
No matter what, this pocket dimension couldn't be for her to dream. For now, he had to find some clues or hints …
"Are you lost?"
A clear and delicate female voice suddenly rang out, startling Lin Sanjiu. She took a few steps back and looked ahead expressionlessly. The shock in her heart was indescribable.
Even though Lin Sanjiu had only been enhanced once, as a Growth-type, her strength, five senses, and agility were all improving slowly no matter where she was. Up until now, her strength had far exceeded the imagination of a normal person. If the person was just a normal person, it was impossible for him to appear so close to her without Lin Sanjiu noticing.
However, the girl in front of him did not look like an evolved human.
The other party seemed to realize that he had scared her, and hurriedly added a sentence with a little embarrassment, "Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. I didn't mean any harm. "
Lin Sanjiu composed herself and looked at the young girl in front of her.
She was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her golden hair shone brightly under the blue sky, as if it was about to melt and turn into sunlight. Although this girl's appearance was very delicate, her skin was covered in mud. She carried a basket of clothes in her hands, and she was wearing a dusty old dress. The style was not something a girl of her age would wear, and it made her look like she didn't even have a waist.
Sensing Lin Sanjiu's gaze, the blonde girl lowered her head in embarrassment. She tugged at her skirt and hid her dirty shoes.
"She … should be a character from a pocket dimension, right?"
That was the only explanation that could explain how she could approach Lin Sanjiu so stealthily. "My name is Lin Sanjiu. I am indeed lost … Do you know where this is?" Lin Sanjiu smiled faintly. She was on high alert, not daring to miss the slightest movement from the other party.
"My house is in a village not far from here. If you need to go to the market, you can come with me. I will show you the way," the blonde girl said with a warm smile. She did not seem to notice Lin Sanjiu's tense expression. She turned around, and her blonde hair flowed down her shoulders as she lifted her hand. "Look, if you go down this hill and follow this small path, you will reach our village."
There was indeed a path that Lin Sanjiu had never seen before at the spot she was pointing at.
"This girl doesn't seem to mean any harm."
Lin Sanjiu heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you. Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome," the blonde girl looked at Lin Sanjiu shyly. "It's rare for me to meet someone like you. You look very kind."
The countless souls that had died in Lin Sanjiu's hands might have a different opinion about this. However, Lin Sanjiu just nodded and thanked the blonde girl with a smile, "How should I address you?"
"Aiya, look at me!" The blonde girl suddenly cried out. She covered her face and said, "I am so rude. I have not introduced myself to you yet! But — "
Her expression visibly turned gloomy. "No one calls me by my original name anymore. Even my father, like my sisters, calls me Cinderella … You can call me that too. "
Lin Sanjiu's expression instantly twisted. She had just pinched her wrist hard.
In her dream, Red Riding Hood had just left, and she immediately met Cinderella.
Was this pocket dimension really a fairy tale world?
But if this was really a fairy tale world, where did Red Riding Hood go?
"When I am alone, I don't like to think about my stepmother and sisters." Cinderella wiped her face and forced a smile, "I'm sorry. You are a traveler from afar. Please tell me some stories from afar."
Compared to stories from afar, Lin Sanjiu was more interested in local stories. She furrowed her brows and tried her best to organize her messy thoughts. She did not say anything for a long time. Cinderella saw this and did not rush her. She just considerately slowed down her pace.
After walking for a while, Lin Sanjiu heard the sound of the carriage wheels rolling on the brick ground. The village was already in sight. It was a typical European medieval village. The low stone houses were scattered all over the place. A few peasant women walked under the eaves with a large bouquet of flowers in their arms and a few chickens following behind them. There was a small square in the middle of the town. There was a well in the square, and a cat was lying by the well, licking its fur in boredom.
Lin Sanjiu was a hundred percent sure that she wouldn't be able to find this town if she was alone.
"You seem to have a lot of troubles, traveler from afar?" Cinderella asked in the tone of a character from a fairy tale.
"Ah, about that … Yes!" Suddenly, an idea came to Lin Sanjiu's mind, "As you know, I came from a faraway place. It's getting late, and I don't have a place to stay. I wonder if I can stay at your place for the night?"
Cinderella looked at Lin Sanjiu with her mouth agape. Then, she looked up at the warm afternoon sun.
"Well, I'd love to." The world-famous Cinderella was indeed a kind-hearted person. She said shyly, "Because I still have my stepmother and sister at home. I don't know if they would agree or not …"
"I can pay!" Lin Sanjiu said quickly, "I have a lot of treasures that I brought from afar. As long as you let me stay for the night, they can choose whatever they want!"
She had a lot of random items with her. They were all things that she had looted from the supermarket. It wasn't hard to surprise a medieval character.
Cinderella obviously knew her stepmother's character very well. She hesitated for a moment before nodding and leading Lin Sanjiu into the town.
"This is my home," Cinderella said with a gloomy expression. It was a very beautiful three-story building. After pushing open the iron gate, they had to walk through a large garden before they reached the main entrance. "I'll go and ask my stepmother. Please wait for a moment."
"Okay," Lin Sanjiu replied and watched as Cinderella entered the house.
"Sigh …" Lin Sanjiu sighed and felt very tired under the curious gazes of the medieval European farmers. "What does this pocket dimension want me to do …"
She rubbed her face and tried her best not to think that someone was injured in the Garden of Eden.
"I hope Li Tao and the rest are fine …" Lin Sanjiu mumbled. She opened her eyes and was stunned.
Right now, she was standing on the same lawn. The sun was shining brightly and the wind was blowing the scent of grass. She was sitting on top of a bunch of daisies.
The town, the passersby, Cinderella's home … Everything was like a colorful bubble under the afternoon sun. It popped when she couldn't hear it and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Sanjiu bit her trembling lower lip and raised her wrist to take a look. There was a clear red fingerprint on her skin. When she touched it lightly, she could feel a slight pain.
Just then, she heard a strange sound. Lin Sanjiu raised her head and stared blankly at a woman not far from her.
It was a young woman with black hair. She seemed to be in her twenties. Her hair was tied up in a beautiful bun and she was wearing a slightly exaggerated long dress.
She blushed and shook the crystal goblet in her hand. The clear luster of the goblet was accompanied by the crimson light of the wine, swaying under the sun.
"Why … did you come to my garden?" she asked in a slurred voice. However, the young woman didn't seem to care about Lin Sanjiu. She squinted her eyes and looked at her goblet in a daze. "You! You! I bet you have never seen a crystal goblet with such a clear color, right? Even the king's treasure can't compare to half of what's in the house behind me. "
Lin Sanjiu looked at her blankly.
"In the house, there is a mirror that can reflect everything clearly from head to toe. These are all treasures that no one has ever seen before …" The black-haired woman threw her head back and laughed. She leaned back on her chair and the precious crystal goblet in her hand fell to the grass. The red wine splashed on the corner of her dress. "But, with such a husband, even if you have all the treasures in the world, what happiness is there to speak of …"
"F * ck." Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. She asked cautiously, "Your husband is …"
The black-haired woman pressed her blushing cheeks. Her eyes were unfocused. "He is not good-looking. He has a blue beard, so people call him Bluebeard. Have you heard of it?"
Lin Sanjiu punched the grass with her fist.
