"If the prince wasn't the one who took Cinderella away, then who was it?"
Lin Sanjiu was still thinking about this question when she took half a step back and bumped into Emma's dining table.
It was only a few milliseconds later when she heard the sound of the rain and the barking of the dogs. Lin Sanjiu came to her senses and quickly raised her head. She saw Little Red Riding Hood hiding behind Emma with a terrified expression. Little Red Riding Hood was clutching her grandmother's clothes tightly and looking at Lin Sanjiu with only her eyes.
Occasionally, there would be a few flashes of lightning outside the window, lighting up the room and the knife in Emma's hand.
Even though Lin Sanjiu knew it was useless, she couldn't help defending herself, "I'm not a werewolf …"
However, Emma did not even look at Lin Sanjiu. She gripped the knife tightly with her trembling hands and shouted out of the room, "It's her! She must be the werewolf! Quick, think of a way to save us! "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help sighing.
She didn't even know what a werewolf looked like, so she couldn't tell who was lying. It wasn't difficult for her to defeat or even kill everyone here. However, the more she thought about it, the more Lin Sanjiu didn't want to act rashly. Furthermore, she wasn't sure how the death of a person would affect this pocket dimension...
The shouts of the hunters outside the room penetrated the layers of rain and entered her ears. It sounded like they had agreed to rush in. If she really let them in, the situation would be difficult to deal with. Lin Sanjiu took a few steps to the door and turned around to smile bitterly at Emma and her granddaughter.
"I'm not a werewolf, and I don't know who is. But I won't go far. Just scream if there's any danger. " After saying that, Lin Sanjiu didn't even know who she was talking to. She pulled open the wooden door. She yanked the hunters outside and they tumbled into the room.
Without waiting for them to take out their weapons, she picked up the hunter, threw him to the side, and rushed out. Like a leopard, she knocked away several people and dogs that pounced on her. In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared into the curtain of rain.
The hunters got up from the ground and wanted to give chase, but Lin Sanjiu was nowhere to be seen.
The hunters ran a few steps reluctantly, but they stood in the middle of the night and couldn't see anything clearly. He could scarcely see anything, and had not gone very far before he was obliged to turn round and return to Emma's cottage.
Seeing the hunters coming, there was a "clang" sound. The knife in Emma's hand fell to the ground. She calmed down and hugged Little Red Riding Hood tightly.
Now that there were more people, Emma and Roland felt less afraid. After calming down, she lit the lamp and hurriedly poured water for them. She took a towel to wipe her face and thanked him profusely. Somehow, however, the barking did not cease, and Evey muttered, "I don't think they'll be quiet for a while," and went out to soothe his hounds. Amidst the barking from time to time, the group discussed for a while and were sure that the strangely dressed woman must be a werewolf.
Little Red Riding Hood bit her lips and looked at this and that.
Seeing that it was getting late, Link was the first to stand up. "Then we'll take our leave. You guys have to be careful. "
`Ay, I will, 'said Emma, avoiding his eyes, and seeing them out of the room, `thank you very much.'
Evey's dogs were still not well-behaved, but with Link holding the leash, they were still under control. After the figures of the people and the dog walked into the rain, they were quickly erased from the curtain like a few strokes of a painting.
Emma followed them with her eyes, and closed the door of the house.
She just turned around. She met Little Red Riding Hood's bright black eyes — for a moment, all the hairs on her body stood up.
"Grandma," Little Red Riding Hood called her softly.
The cottage was quiet and dark again, and Emma could not see her granddaughter's expression clearly.
"Wha … What's the matter, dear?" She did not know why her voice was trembling.
In the dark. 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 fallen knife, and thought of the dogs' uncontrollable barking.
"Baby, come here and let grandma see you …" She plucked up her courage and smiled.
Unexpectedly, Little Red Riding Hood was very obedient. She took a few steps to the window.
Under the white lightning that flashed from time to time, although her little face was a little pale, she still looked like a normal Little Red Riding Hood — not a werewolf. Emma let out a sigh of relief and felt a little guilty.
Before her guilt could subside, Little Red Riding Hood's words suddenly froze her brain, "… Grandma, how many hunters came to help us just now?"
Emma thought for a moment and felt that her cold had affected her brain. "Three, three!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she also felt that she was wrong. This was not a big number, why did she hesitate …?
"There was Link, Evey, and Richard … right?" Little Red Riding Hood continued to ask.
"Yes, yes …" Emma could not think of 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 and tender finger and pointed at the cold window.
"Huh … Who was that?"
The same sentence appeared in Emma's mind, and then it was spat out by Link's lips.
Since they all wanted to go home early and dry their wet clothes, the few bold hunters unanimously agreed to take a shortcut in the forest. The so-called shortcut was actually just a narrow gap in the dense forest that was slightly flattened by footsteps. In the dense and gloomy forest, as soon as it rained, it was almost impossible to see anything clearly. What one could see was only a patch of pitch-black darkness.
It was also because of this reason that after walking in silence for a long time, Link suddenly turned around and felt that something was wrong.
Because … Evey was not that tall.
But including this tall black figure, there were indeed only three people walking in the forest at that moment.
Link was indeed a veteran hunter for 20 years. He quickly pulled Richard over and quickly pulled out the long sword at his waist, "… Who are you? Where is Evey? "
Could it be the female werewolf from just now?
The tall black figure in front of them paused for a moment and spoke, "… Huh? I am Richard. Isn't Evey beside you? "
Oh, yes, Richard was also tall.
Before the feeling of relief spread through his body, Link's calloused hands finally felt the rough, hard touch under his skin. Finally, he felt the rough and hard sensation under his skin, as if he was being pricked by needles.
What happened next, his memory was a little blurry.
He could only remember that in his panic, he seemed to have pulled out his knife and swung it with all his might. Richard's screams, the pouring rain, the big black shadow that was rushing back and forth, and the sharp pain when something sharp cut his stomach...
Link seemed to have fainted for a while until the huge, cold raindrops woke him up. Only then did he vaguely realize what had just happened.
Not far away was Richard's body. Even though the rain was so heavy, it still could not wash away the thick smell of blood … But it seemed that the body was still intact, as if it had not been eaten by the werewolf.
If it was not eaten, why did it attack us? Link's scattered thoughts could not come to any conclusion. He could only rely on the survival instinct left in his body. He crawled on the ground with difficulty, moving towards the path outside the forest bit by bit.
There was a main road that led to the city. People would pass by from time to time. If he reached there, he would have a higher chance of survival.
There was a gash on his body. The leaves, pebbles and mud in the forest dug into his flesh as he crawled. Just when Link thought that he was going to faint, he suddenly heard a childish scream from afar. It tore through the rainy night.
Lin Sanjiu, who was squatting on top of a tree at the other end of the forest, shuddered. That was obviously Little Red Riding Hood's voice.
It was obviously Little Red Riding Hood's voice. She quickly slid down the tree and ran towards Emma's cabin.
As she did not dare to hurt the storyline characters, nor did she dare to stay too far away from them, she could only squat on top of the tree and listen for any movement from the wooden hut. However, ever since the noisy group of people and dogs left, the wooden hut had been quiet. She could only hear the heavy sound of rain falling from the sky.
The distance was nothing to Lin Sanjiu. In less than ten seconds, the wooden hut was already in her sight.
It was dark inside the hut, but the door was wide open. Little Red Riding Hood screamed again, "Grandma —!"
"Damn it, the werewolf must be hiding near the hut." Lin Sanjiu cursed inwardly. Just as she got closer, her vision blurred. The raindrops that had been hitting his body since a while ago had disappeared.
Lara looked at her with a strange expression.
Lin Sanjiu was still in a running posture, but when she saw that she was about to knock over the dining table in front of her, she quickly twisted her body and steadied herself.
Only then did she feel that her clothes had become comfortable and dry again.
Lara was still holding a goblet in her hand. It was filled with something transparent. Judging from the blush on her face, it must be wine.
"What are you doing? You are such a strange person. " Lara pinched Lin Sanjiu teasingly, "I have been living with you for a few days, but I still don't understand you … Hey, did you hear what I told you just now?"
Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat. Her gaze fell on the sumptuous dishes in front of her.
"I didn't hear you clearly. What did you say?" Lin Sanjiu asked bluntly.
For some reason, Lara never got angry with Lin Sanjiu. She was always so close to her, "Really! My husband gave me the keys to all the rooms in this castle, but he didn't allow me to open the room at the end of the second floor. Tell me, what is in the room? "(To be continued.)
