To be honest, the moment Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood walked towards the dark and silent hut, the squirrel flew over with a "squeak" and fell straight off Little Red Riding Hood's shoulders - but it was caught by Yu Sheng as soon as it landed halfway.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed the tail and picked it up.
Yu Sheng's reflexes were mainly developed through his daily battle of wits and courage with Irene - the little doll jumped up and bit people as fast as lightning.
"You can't take me with you to death!" The squirrel opened its eyes and struggled violently in Yu Sheng's hands, "I'm just a squirrel! It's too difficult for you..."
"Quiet," Little Red Riding Hood lowered her voice and said in a very threatening tone, "if you really don't want to die."
The squirrel immediately became quiet.
At this time, Yu Sheng had arrived only a few meters away from the hut.
Although it was dim in the forest, he could clearly see the situation of the hut - it was indeed exactly the same as the "shelter hut" he remembered last time he saw, with the same dull wooden exterior walls and dark red
On the roof, there is a narrow wooden door, a small window, and the two-story steps at the door are mottled and decayed.
But there is no light in this hut, and the details of its appearance look even older. It seems to have been abandoned for many years, maintaining a state of decay but not collapse. It can also be seen on its doors, windows and under the eaves.
Those tangled red rags and threads - but those strips of cloth and threads are more tattered, and the color is darker, even to a somewhat disturbing level.
The dark red color is like blood stains that have been soaked and then dried.
"Have you ever seen a cabin like this?" Yu Sheng turned his head and looked at Little Red Riding Hood.
"No," the girl in red shook her head, and then added, "This is also my first time in such a 'deep' place."
"What do you mean by this kind of hut?" Yu Sheng looked at the squirrel in his hand again.
However, the squirrel did not answer. The nervous rodent was trembling, its eyes full of fear and resistance, and it seemed that as Yu Sheng got closer and closer to the hut, its nervousness and even stress response were intensifying.
"Stay away from here... squirrels don't like this place... squirrels don't like this place..."
It made a small sound and began to struggle with its claws.
"Calm down, calm down, nothing will happen to us." Yu Sheng felt that the other party's reaction was a bit wrong, so he quickly spoke to reassure him, "I have a way to move you from the forest at any time, and I can also send you to a safe area - we are just investigating briefly
Leave in a moment..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly noticed something again and stared into the squirrel's eyes: "Do you know something?"
"Do you know? No, the squirrel doesn't know, the squirrel doesn't know anything!" The squirrel struggled violently, as if reason was rapidly fading from its mind, "I have never seen this hut! No one has ever seen this hut!"
You also..."
It suddenly stopped and stretched its neck in Yu Sheng's hand, as if it was listening to something.
"Did you hear that? What did you hear?"
The squirrel said nervously, twisting his body back and forth.
Yu Sheng frowned: "What did you hear?"
But what he responded to was a stinging pain in his fingertips.
The squirrel suddenly lowered its head and bit him hard. The moment Yusheng subconsciously lifted his finger, the unconscious little animal suddenly jumped out and let out a series of screams in the air: "Run! Run! The wolf is here."
!They’re all here! Run with me quickly!”
However, neither Yu Sheng nor Little Red Riding Hood moved. They watched the squirrel go crazy, and watched it scream and run into the darkness in the distance as it lost its mind, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye.
"It actually ran away..." Little Red Riding Hood looked at this scene dumbfounded. It was obviously the first time for her to see this situation.
"When it was running, it still remembered to ask us to run together." Yu Sheng was also a little dazed, and then he looked back at the quiet hut, "When we first saw this house, it didn't react so much. It was running."
It seems to go crazy when you get close... Do you have any clues?"
"No, that squirrel is very mysterious and neurotic. I probably don't know much more about it than you do," Little Red Riding Hood shook her head, her eyes already a little more cautious. She looked at the dark window of the small house and said lightly.
Taking a breath, "Let's go in and take a look."
Even in this situation, she had no intention of backing down.
"I'll go in first," Yu Sheng walked in front, "Look at that squirrel's reaction. This cabin may be more dangerous and weird than other places in the Black Forest. Your condition is unstable, so don't rush in."
As he spoke, his hand was already on the doorknob.
Little Red Riding Hood opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed it back and just nodded calmly.
Yu Sheng took a deep breath to calm down his mind. At the same time, he paid attention to the changes in the atmosphere around him and gently pushed the wooden door that didn't look very strong.
With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open easily.
But the stale smell and dust flying everywhere that Yu Sheng imagined did not appear.
He waited at the door for two seconds, making sure that there was no movement inside and that the forest itself had not changed much before he took a look inside.
His eyesight, which is sharper and more powerful than that of ordinary people, allows him to see the situation in the cabin clearly in the dark.
When Little Red Riding Hood saw that Yu Sheng only glanced inside, he quickly retracted his body and stood at the door with a surprised and complicated expression.
She couldn't help but take a step forward: "Inside..."
Yu Sheng blinked and woke up from his brief daze. He looked at the girl in red in front of him, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face, but after a moment of weighing, he nodded slightly: "Come in with me, you
See for yourself.”
They entered the hut.
In the darkness, Little Red Riding Hood finally knew what Yu Sheng had seen.
It's a red cloak.
Hanging on the wall, scattered on the floor, hanging from the roof, there are many... red cloaks.
How many are there? A dozen? Dozens? Or even more?
In the dimness, there were various kinds of red cloaks that seemed to be soaked in blood, and they were in tatters. Some of them had even turned into tattered cloth that could not be seen. They were scattered on the ground in such a mess that it was impossible to tell the number for a while.
How many.
The sound of feet stepping on the old floor broke the silence in the hut. Yu Sheng took two steps forward, then turned back and looked at Little Red Riding Hood, who was still standing blankly at the door.
"Come, don't stay too far away from me."
Little Red Riding Hood nodded a little sluggishly, and then she followed Yu Sheng's footsteps. She unknowingly got a little closer to him, and after a while she spoke softly: "Here..."
"Perhaps this can explain why the squirrel had such a big reaction to this place," Yu Sheng sighed softly and turned to look at the girl beside him, "Don't be afraid."
"I...well, I'm a little scared, but okay," Little Red Riding Hood hesitated and tried to force out a smile, but failed. She stepped carefully and stepped over a bunch of red cloaks scattered on the ground.
Then he looked at the messy and broken red fabrics on the nearby wall, and subconsciously tugged on his coat, "This... is probably what it will look like after everything is over. No wonder it's in the deepest part of the forest."
"I suddenly have a question," Yu Sheng looked at the coat on Little Red Riding Hood, and a reasonable and practical question came to his mind - in fact, he had had this question for a long time, "The clothes you wear in reality are always
Did you choose it yourself? Why does it have to be a red coat? Just to fit in with the 'Little Red Riding Hood' logo?"
"In order to stabilize yourself," Little Red Riding Hood said softly, "after getting the red cloak in the black forest, you must ensure that you don't deviate too far from your identity as 'Little Red Riding Hood'."
"Why?"
Little Red Riding Hood sighed: "Just like fairy tales don't like adults, fairy tales don't like 'disobedient children' either."
Yu Sheng frowned deeply.
"This thing is really strict and unpleasant." He was obviously not in a good mood, but he quickly calmed down the gloomy expression on his face and glanced at Little Red Riding Hood with some worry, "Are you okay? If
This place is too stressful for you, you can leave first."
"I'm fine," Little Red Riding Hood just shook her head, "It just makes me a little nervous here, but to be honest, it's much better than the dark forest outside."
"Um."
Yu Sheng nodded lightly and said nothing more.
They carefully checked the hut covered with shabby red cloaks, but did not find the child named "Xiaoxiao" anywhere.
"Not here?" Yu Sheng frowned, looking at this small house, and gradually became a little anxious, "It stands to reason that this is the most likely place."
"There is a deeper place in the forest," whispered Little Red Riding Hood. "The further away from the light, the darker the place."
Yu Sheng said nothing, but looked around again.
No, he thinks the child is here.
Because the wolves were prowling in the surrounding darkness, they were still coveting some kind of "fresh food."
The weak "feeling" was transmitted through the connection established by the blood. Yu Sheng frowned and tried to grasp the "perception" that did not belong to him. He tried to observe the world as a wolf, as a shadow, or even as a black forest.
think.
Suddenly, he seemed to see...or know something.
Little Red Riding Hood was surprised to see Yu Sheng suddenly strode to the single bed in the corner of the wooden house, stretched out his hand and groped for something out of thin air on the bed.
"What are you doing?" she said subconsciously.
Yu Sheng did not answer, but took out the knife he carried with him from his pocket.
The knife is very sharp.
With a serious and calm expression on his face, he carefully observed and sensed something, and then without hesitation, he drew the knife across a certain location.
The blade cut through the air, but there was a feeling of cutting through the flesh, and the smell of blood suddenly filled the air.
Chapter completed!
