The squirrel seemed a little shocked. The small rodent was fixed on the railing as if it was petrified. It stared at Yu Sheng with its small black eyes and made no movement for a long time.
To be honest, it feels quite weird to be stared at like this by a talking squirrel.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but be curious, what is the origin of this squirrel?
If this dark forest is the "fairy tale alien land" that Little Red Riding Hood mentioned that brought her a curse, then is this squirrel an entity generated in this alien land? An entity with such rich emotions and reason? So are those wolves
Entities in a foreign land? In the same foreign land, would such entities with completely different positions appear?
Yu Sheng felt that his understanding of foreign lands was still too shallow.
"Weird, weird," the squirrel was no longer stunned. It paced on the railing, its thick tail flicking uneasily, "This has never happened! This has never happened! Only
Little Red Riding Hood can come here. I have never heard of any 'friends'... It's so weird. An unprecedented situation is happening in the forest! Something is going to happen. I always feel like something is going to happen... How did you get in? How did you get in?
?”
The squirrel suddenly jumped on Yu Sheng's arm and grabbed his sleeve with its claws. It looked uneasy and a little crazy, and asked over and over again, "How did you get in?"
"...I don't know either." Yu Sheng shook his head.
He did not tell the squirrel the truth - after realizing that this seemingly sensible and friendly squirrel might actually be just an "entity" generated by the black forest, he had to remain wary of it.
After all, he still doesn't know all the "rules" in this forest. God knows whether the position shown by this squirrel is really based on reason, or whether it is just a "simulation" of the black forest.
"You don't know...well, you don't know," the squirrel climbed onto Yu Sheng's shoulder, "Have you ever listened to a bedtime story? Have you ever had a dream about a forest, flowers and candies? Yes?"
Yu Sheng's heart suddenly moved: "Did Little Red Riding Hood enter this forest after hearing a bedtime story and having such a dream?"
"It's all like this, it's all like this," Squirrel looked a little restless, "but only children do this, not adults. It stands to reason that adults wouldn't..."
Yu Sheng frowned: "Why do you say that?"
"I didn't know, I didn't know, I'm just a fucking squirrel!" The squirrel looked more and more anxious. It said quickly while rubbing its face with its paws, "We can't chat anymore, the lights are changing."
Dark, this road is going to disappear, we have to go to the next safe place...walk, walk quickly, before they catch up..."
As the squirrel finished speaking, Yu Sheng immediately noticed that the fantastic "street lights" on both sides of the trail were indeed dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye. As each light dimmed, the lights that were originally on them
The paths in the forest that clearly existed in the scene suddenly became blurry, as if the darkness of the forest itself was gradually swallowing them up - some kind of cold and sticky malice gradually invaded this path, originating from the dangerous atmosphere of the forest.
It spreads from all directions.
Yu Sheng subconsciously stepped forward and asked quickly as he walked: "Where are we going? Where are we going?"
"Just walk along the road," the squirrel said in a high-pitched and nervous voice. "As long as you keep walking along the path, you will see other paths with street lights, or you will see the lights of huts--huts sometimes
It's dangerous, but sometimes it can give you a break. But be careful and be careful of the things tempting you on both sides of the trail. When the lights dim, those things will lure you off the road and into the depths of the forest.
It's a trap set by the wolf..."
Yu Sheng instantly recalled the warnings given by squirrels when they first appeared - don't be attracted by the beautiful flowers and mushrooms.
"Don't worry, I won't be attracted by the wild flowers and mushrooms on the roadside," he shook his head, "I'm not a child."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but think about what would happen if a child was really trapped in this boundless black forest? When did Little Red Riding Hood first fall into this forest? How old was she at that time? She
Have you ever been tempted off the trail by the wildflowers and mushrooms on the roadside?
After all, according to squirrels, being hunted by wolves can happen more than once - the "child" trapped in this forest gradually sank as he was hunted by evil wolves again and again.
Even an "adult" like him has a hard time avoiding those wolves. A panicked child trapped in the forest will have to be swallowed by wolves many times before he can gain the power like Little Red Riding Hood...
"I hope you won't be tempted," the squirrel muttered. "There are always confusing things in the dark. The forest has a way. It always has a way..."
Yu Sheng smiled, quickened his pace, and hurriedly walked through the forest path where the street lights became increasingly dim and the road became increasingly blurry. At the same time, he vigilantly paid attention to the situation on the roadside with the corner of his eye.
Then he suddenly froze.
In the dim shadows on the roadside, Yu Sheng caught a glimpse of a flash of light. Looking carefully, he saw that it was a brand new *090 graphics card, lying quietly in the grass.
Then he looked again and saw a brand new laptop lying quietly in the grass, as well as the **Elite Sixth Generation Intelligent Feedback Game Controller** co-branded model with RGB light set modification and storage bag.
Yu Sheng rubbed his eyes and saw hanging on the tree next to him the **Power Tool Expert Set Limited Edition 18-piece Set in Box, Boxes of Wild Ice Black Tea, and Carbon Fiber Fishing Rod Set...
The sound of running water came again from the other side of the path. Yu Sheng turned around and saw an open pond. There was a stone nest beside the pond that could shelter from wind and rain. There were folding chairs, fishing gear boxes, and half
A box of beer, a parasol, and a fisherman who was packing his things and seemed to be leaving soon.
Standing on Yu Sheng's shoulder, Squirrel looked dumbfounded, his dark eyes almost bulging out: "...What the hell is this?!"
"It's 'wildflowers and mushrooms' for adults," Yu Sheng was so shocked that he almost slapped himself before looking back. Then he lowered his head and gnashed his teeth and hurried forward, "It's too dangerous, this forest is too damn dangerous.
Already..."
He walked for an unknown amount of time, and countless insidious and vicious temptation traps popped up on both sides of the path. Those illusions finally stopped appearing. At the same time, the lights on the roadside had dimmed to the point of almost completely disappearing, leaving only
A few vague, firefly-like bright spots were still floating in the air, barely reflecting the outline of the path.
Deep in the dense forest ahead, Yu Sheng saw a subtle light.
"Yes, yes! It's a place to rest!" The squirrel immediately jumped up on his shoulder and screamed excitedly, "Go there quickly, go there quickly, I hope there is a warm fire and hot food there.
Vegetable soup.”
Yu Sheng unconsciously quickened his pace.
The "streetlight" beside him has been completely extinguished, darkness has once again enveloped the surroundings, the malice of the forest is whispering in the wind, and the distant and vague howl of wolves can be heard.
The howling of wolves was gradually approaching. After the trail disappeared, the invisible wolves smelled their prey again. A new encirclement network gradually formed and moved closer to the uninvited guests in the forest.
But Yu Sheng had already arrived near the warm light - he saw a small house.
A hut built of wood that looked a bit old was standing quietly deep in the forest.
Warm light shines from the windows of the wooden house. In such a dark and cold forest, the light is incredibly warm.
When Yu Sheng came to the door of the wooden house, he saw a piece of red rag hanging on the door, and many similar red strings, wrapped around the door frame, window lattice and wood under the eaves, but he didn't know if it had any special meaning or not.
Or just a simple decoration.
"Don't rush in yet," the squirrel reminded quickly, "go to the door. There is a crack. Do you see it? Come closer, you can just see the bed inside, and see if there is anyone on it - no one
If so, the hut is safe and you can go in and rest, but if 'grandma' is inside, then we have to continue walking deeper into the forest."
Yu Sheng frowned, followed the squirrel's prompts and came to the door, looking inside the hut through the gap in the door.
A warm fire was burning in the fireplace, bread, bouquets and candles were placed on the simple wooden table. The bed was placed deeper in the room, with no one on it.
"There is no one in the house." Yu Sheng said to the squirrel.
"That's great, we can go in," the squirrel suddenly became happy, "How lucky - we can rest there for a long time, even until you wake up!"
Yu Sheng nodded, and with the increasingly clear and approaching howls of wolves coming from the distance, he reached out and pushed open the wooden door of the hut.
The howl of the wolf disappeared almost instantly.
Yu Sheng and Squirrel walked into the hut and closed the door behind them.
The oncoming lights and the heat released by the fireplace used an incredible power to dispel the uneasiness and depression brought by the forest. The crackling fire brought an almost unreal warmth, which made Yu Sheng always feel a little nervous.
My heart relaxed a little unconsciously.
"Relax, relax. The hut without grandma is the only place in the forest where you can completely relax." The squirrel saw the change in Yu Sheng's expression. It jumped lightly to the table nearby, "I hope
