The wolf is coming.
However, Yu Sheng could not see the exact appearance of the wolf - he could only hear the sounds of branches being trampled and grass being brushed from behind, and the occasional suppressed low whimpering.
For a few moments, he could even smell the rotten smell mixed with blood in the air, and a cold breath spread in the forest, like the cold winter that was constantly chasing closer, gradually depriving it of vitality and heat.
The howls of wolves began again, one after another, from every tree, bush, and shadow around them. The wolves were right next to them, surrounding their prey, and constantly shrinking their net.
"Run! Don't stop! Run!"
The squirrel had climbed from Yu Sheng's neck to the top of his head. The small rodent waved its paws forward vigorously and made a high-pitched cry.
"Run to the path! Run to a lighted place! Run to a place where wolves dare not go!"
Yu Sheng couldn't help but look back behind him, but he could only see many shadows in the dim forest. There was something vaguely chasing him in the shadows of the forest, but he still couldn't see any wolf.
.
But the breath was behind him, and he could even begin to feel the airflow produced by those smelly bloody mouths breathing around him.
"Where are the wolves?" he asked loudly, "I can't see them!"
"It's a good thing not to be able to see you, but it means they can't catch you yet!" the squirrel screamed. "It's bad to see them. They will keep chasing you, keep chasing, keep chasing, until you can't run anymore, until you become
A tired grown-up… a grown-up… wait! You’re a grown-up!”
The squirrel seemed to have suddenly discovered something. It looked down at the running Yu Sheng in shock. It grabbed Yu Sheng's hair with force and yelled: "So how the hell did you get in!"
Yu Sheng didn't bother to respond to the squirrel, because he suddenly saw several bloody wounds on his arm.
Those were the marks left by invisible sharp claws.
He began to see those hazy shadows, those lanky, hungry predators that seemed endless among the dense forests.
Yu Sheng's feet suddenly exerted force, stepping on the thick fallen leaves and mulch, and continued to rush in the direction pointed by the squirrel.
He is not afraid of death, let alone being trapped in this place, but he has not yet understood what is going on here and what happened to "Little Red Riding Hood" - he cannot be eaten by wolves here in vain.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a light from the corner of his eye.
Deep in the dense forest, among the endless spreading darkness, some warm lights suddenly appeared, and under those bright lights, a path could be vaguely seen.
"Run, run, run! It's in front! Aha! You, an adult, can run faster than a child!" The squirrel shouted excitedly, "Very good, very good! Adults always have heavy steps, but you run as fast as they just did."
It's the same as when you came in - they can't catch you, they can't catch you!"
Amidst the nervous screams of the squirrel, Yu Sheng rushed out of the shadows surrounding the forest. He rushed towards the warm light, and almost the moment the light shone on him, the cold breath chasing him seemed to
Dissipate instantly like melting into light.
The wolf disappeared, disappearing by the path in the forest.
Yu Sheng was breathing heavily, holding on to a dead tree stump on the side of the road. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the path through the dense forest.
It suddenly appeared in the big forest, paved with soil and stones, the winding path seemed to have no end, extending into the darkness between the big trees, and on both sides of the road, there were bright street lights -
- Yu Sheng didn't understand how those lamps were illuminated. They looked like balls hanging on curved branches. There were no wires and no flames could be seen inside, but there was soft light shining down, illuminating the road.
Forest path.
The squirrel jumped down from above his head and jumped onto the rough and curved wooden railing beside the road. It squatted down and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Phew - it almost turned into a delicious meal."
"Those are the 'wolves' that have been chasing Little Red Riding Hood?" Yu Sheng took a breath, and after regaining consciousness for a while, he came to the squirrel and looked seriously at this "little animal" who seemed to know a lot of things, "Then
The 'bad wolf' with the largest and strongest head is also among them?"
"Evil wolf? Don't mention the evil wolf!" The squirrel seemed to be frightened all of a sudden. It jumped up in fright and stretched out its paws as if to cover Yu Sheng's mouth. "The hunter hasn't appeared yet, so we can't take the worst.
The biggest wolf is attracted - if you don't have a gun in your hand, it can swallow you up in one bite! Swallow you whole!"
Yu Sheng listened and continued to stare at the other person: "Where is this place? I know it is a forest. I want to ask, is this Little Red Riding Hood's dream? Or is it some kind of... foreign land?"
"Forest, this is the forest. I don't understand what you mean - dream? Little Red Riding Hood hasn't started dreaming yet. Good children have to sleep at night. She is still outside doing her own thing... What is her name?"
Oh, she said she wants to go to school," the squirrel moved on the wooden railing and babbled. "If she started dreaming, she should have come in by now..."
The way the squirrel spoke was very strange, giving people the feeling of talking to itself and broken information, but it was not difficult for Yu Sheng to understand. He quickly understood what the other party meant and deduce the connection between this place and "Little Red Riding Hood"
connections between.
This should indeed be some kind of "foreign land", not just Little Red Riding Hood's dream. It has always existed, and when Little Red Riding Hood falls asleep...she will fall into this forest.
Accept the endless pursuit of wolves here.
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng quickly frowned: "How can we completely escape from the wolf's pursuit?"
"Get rid of? What are you thinking! The wolf will not give up, and the forest has no end." The squirrel stretched out his paws and rubbed his face, and looked at Yu Sheng like a fool. "Run, you can only keep running, from the safe path to
Another safe path, run into a warm house, and then run to another house before it gets dark. As long as you can still run, there is always a temporary hiding place in the forest - that's good, that's it
good……"
What this squirrel is talking about are the rules for operating in this "forest"?
Yu Sheng thought quickly in his mind, and then composed himself: "Is this forest... a curse created by 'fairy tale'? Do you know about the curse?"
He didn't know the origin of the squirrel in front of him, nor why such a rational and intelligent communication "object" appeared in the seemingly exotic black forest, but since it had just provided help, it meant that it had at least mentioned it to Little Red Riding Hood.
The "curse" is not shared by one group.
However, the squirrel was just stunned when he heard what he said, and then took two steps on the railing: "How do I know? I'm just a fucking squirrel."
Then it raised its paws, quickly scratched the fluff on its face, and raised its face with an air of pride: "A damn squirrel that's so cute."
Yu Sheng's expression was a little dull.
The squirrel suddenly dug around with its paws and pulled out a small stick from somewhere. It held the stick in its mouth and rubbed its big tail against the railing next to it.
After rubbing it, a small ball of flame appeared at the tip of its tail. It used this ball of flame to light the small stick in its mouth, took a deep breath, and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
"Would you like a bite?" The squirrel raised his head and grabbed the stick with his paws. "This thing will make you feel better, but you have to hold it with the tips of your nails."
Yu Sheng's expression became even duller.
"Oh, you're not interested, that's good - although you are an adult, this is not a good habit," the squirrel said, holding the stick in his mouth again, "Ah, I'm really not used to it, it's my first time
Meeting an adult - usually the first one to come here
Little guys, they will cry for a long time, and few of them can escape the first hunt. They will all be swallowed up by the wolf. To be honest, I am a little nervous. You should not let a squirrel endure this.
The pressure I bear... ugh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."
Yu Sheng didn't know how to respond to this guy for a while. To be honest, the painting style of this squirrel was a bit too high for him.
Although there are living dolls around him that can curse, a nine-tailed demon fox that can shoot out its tail, and a building called "No. 66 Wutong Road" that cannot be observed by ordinary people, he has always been a person with normal outlook and mental health.
Good young man - a squirrel smoking and cursing was not what he expected.
"Why don't you say anything?" The squirrel finished the remaining part of the stick in one gulp, then threw the still smoking tail into his mouth and chewed it. He looked up at Yu Sheng, "Oh, you were shocked? Also.
Normally, even adults will be frightened by the forest, and they will get used to it after visiting it a few times - getting used to their hunting, getting used to their prey.
"Then you will establish a connection with some of the wolves here, and you will establish a connection with the entire forest. When you are both a lost person here, a hungry wolf here, and at the same time a forest, a hunter and a grandmother, you will
You will get used to it completely.
"When the time comes, you will have your own red cloak, and you can come in and run around every night. Haha, it's very fulfilling... But I'm curious, what kind of cloak will you get? After all, you are not a child, and you are still a child.
Men..."
"I'm not the new Little Red Riding Hood," Yu Sheng interrupted the squirrel's chatter and emphasized again with a serious look, "I'm her friend."
The squirrel was stunned. It stared blankly at Yu Sheng, as if it wanted to see a trace of lying on the latter's face. After a while, it finally seemed to confirm something. Its upper body stood upright, and its thick
The tail flicked restlessly on the wooden railing.
"Are you fucking telling the truth? You can't deceive a squirrel as cute as me!"
