Chapter 136 Traces of the Past

Grandma Wolf lay on the bed in the hut, hiding her paws, ears and tail. She swallowed Little Red Riding Hood in one gulp, and then...
The hunter did not appear.
Here comes a cook.
Yu Sheng felt something struggling for an instant. In the air, the invisible wolf grandma suddenly let out a shrill howl. Blood emerged out of thin air where the knife had cut it. The cut fur, fat and muscles were rolled and torn apart.
Come, appear in mid-air along the direction of the blade, and a sense of wind pressure and threat suddenly appear from the side, it is the wolf's raised front paws and head——
It's a pity that it is not the evil wolf that is already bigger than the house in the depths of Little Red Riding Hood's fear.
It's just what a six-year-old girl imagined as a big bad wolf - it's very strong, but not as big as Yu Sheng, it's fast, but not as fast as an adult, it's very vicious... but Yu Sheng has dealt with it
Uglier meat.
Yu Sheng suddenly stretched out his hand and held down the head of the invisible wolf, then pressed its neck firmly with his arms and pressed it on the small bed. The knife in his other hand continued to cut open the beast's flesh.
The blood that keeps spreading and becomes more and more miserable
Amidst howling, the figure of the wolf appeared - much larger than an ordinary wolf, big enough to swallow a child, with a slender body, wearing a ridiculous apron and soft-brimmed hat, and a ferocious and twisted head.
and a swollen abdomen.
Now it is dying, its ferocious eyes are slowly fading away, its throat is making a roaring sound, its limbs are twitching, and its final struggle is about to come to an end.
"Quiet, quiet, it's almost over..." Yu Sheng leaned down and stared into the eyes of the evil wolf. His eyes were filled with joy, and his words were gentle and expectant. "I must take the knife slowly - after all,
Be careful not to hurt the child, but you can't struggle too much. If the muscles are too tight, it will affect your subsequent use...Okay, let's cut it open."
The belly of the big bad wolf was completely cut open, and as a strange membrane-like structure was cut neatly by the second stroke of the knife, a thin girl rolled out of its belly.
The girl's eyes were closed tightly, and there was no blood on her body. It was as if she had just fallen asleep on this small bed and had a dream from which she could not wake up.
Little Red Riding Hood immediately stepped forward and caught the girl who almost fell to the ground with both hands. At the same time, her eyes widened unconsciously, looking at the big bad wolf lying disemboweled on the bed, with its limbs still twitching slightly.
, and Yu Sheng, who was putting away the knife: "You...how did you see it? Why couldn't I see it before?"
"It's hard to explain - I now have some extra 'perspectives' and can observe some things that only the wolves in the forest know," Yu Sheng wiped the blood on the knife on the wolf's fur and turned to Little Red Riding Hood.
Said, "As for why you can't see it... maybe it's because this is not your wolf grandma?"
Little Red Riding Hood was startled for a moment, and a trace of thought appeared on her face.
And just when she was about to say something more, a series of howls suddenly came from outside the hut, interrupting her current train of thought.
A wolf composed of seven or eight shadows instantly appeared around her, confronting the howling wolf outside the hut, emitting the same hoarse and terrifying howl to protect its "master".
"The wolves were alarmed, and they didn't sound very happy." Yu Sheng immediately raised his head, and at the same time glanced at Little Red Riding Hood, who was tensing up from the corner of his eye, "You'd better take her out of here quickly - we
We have cut her out of Grandma Wolf's belly, and now we just need to let her return to the real world, and the child will wake up."
"But the time has not come yet!" Little Red Riding Hood was a little anxious and spoke quickly, "You need to stay in the Black Forest for a certain amount of time before you can go out..."
Yu Sheng frowned and immediately called the puppet in his mind: "Irene, force them out - use the one you are best at."
"Okay," Eileen responded immediately, "but what about you? Aren't you going out?"
"I'll observe for a while to see if there are any changes here, don't worry about me."
"Oh...if you are going to die, tell me in advance."
"Can't you say something nice!"
Little Red Riding Hood didn't know what Yu Sheng was doing, but she instinctively felt that there was some kind of... interference in her connection with the black forest. An external force was quickly peeling her away from here, and the unknown changes made her speak subconsciously.
: "What did you do..."
"Irene will send you out," Yu Sheng nodded to her, "but this process may be more exciting - don't vomit on me when you vomit later."
Little Red Riding Hood: "Huh?"
Then she and the girl "Xiaoxiao" disappeared into the hut at the same time.
Disappearing together with Little Red Riding Hood were the seven or eight wolves formed from the shadows.
The howling of wolves outside the cabin did not disappear because of Little Red Riding Hood's departure. Instead, it instantly became denser, more approaching, and more... full of hostility.
"Sure enough, he came for me." Yu Sheng frowned, not surprised at all. He knew that he was the "destroyer of the story" here, and according to the "rules" shown in the fairy tale, the person who destroyed the story must be here.
is unpopular.
What's more, he is an adult who ruins the story. What fairy tales dislike most is adults.
But after being vigilant for a few seconds, Yu Sheng noticed that although the howling of wolves outside the hut was much closer, it finally stopped at a certain distance outside. The invisible wolves were just patrolling there, but for some reason
There was no direct "attack" on the cabin.
Yu Sheng frowned slightly and once again looked around at the small house, which was covered with red cloaks and the fire and candlelight seemed to have been extinguished many years ago.
He still remembered what the squirrel said before, and remembered the situation of the hut where he hid last time - after the candlelight and fire were extinguished, the hut would be swallowed up by the forest, just like those paths that could be swallowed up by the forest at any time.
, the essence of this "shelter" seems to be just some kind of "illusion" temporarily illuminated by the firelight.
But what is going on with this cabin?
Is it really like what Little Red Riding Hood said, this is the "final place of the story"? So it will not be swallowed up, but will always be trapped in the deepest part of the forest and become the burial place of all Little Red Riding Hoods?
The howling of wolves outside the house was a bit irritating, but Yu Sheng still ignored their interference. After rescuing the people, he felt much more at ease, and now he decided to study this place carefully.
He carefully searched every corner of the hut, even lifting every red cloak to make sure there was nothing hidden under them.
He found another stick, pulled the cold fireplace, and carefully examined it in the ashes.
Finally, he simply pushed the dead wolf off the bed and turned the entire bed over.
Yu Sheng suddenly narrowed his eyes.
After moving the little bed, he discovered something.
On the floor under the bed, there are many fine, winding scratch-like textures.
Yu Sheng lay down, his eyes almost touching the floor, and carefully inspected the scratches.
The light in the hut was very dark, but his eyes were glowing like a wolf. He saw that the marks were crooked handwriting, but they were extremely confusing, twisted, and almost unrecognizable.
He looked hard for a long time and could only distinguish some messy and broken information——
"...is alive...it is dreaming...hidden in all...common..."
Yu Sheng frowned. The information in the text was too sparse and he couldn't distinguish anything meaningful, so he didn't do too much meaningless thinking. He just stretched out his fingers and slowly groped through the notches.
On the surface, we speculate how these words were "engraved".
It seems to have been "picked out" bit by bit with very sharp nails.
It's a human finger, but the nails must be very hard and sharp, just like a wolf's.
He continued to explore downwards and noticed that the scratches became smaller and shallower toward the back.
"Very tired, very cold, very hungry..."
"I can't remember...how long...
"The wolf is out there.
"I am……"
The messy and broken words are mixed among the scratches that are almost impossible to read. The last traces are so light that there are only very small lines. It seems that the person who carved them finally exhausted his energy and wrote the last "I"
After the two words "Yes", he never moved again.
Yu Sheng frowned and slowly raised his body.
He thought that this should be left by a certain Little Red Riding Hood in the past - he didn't have many alternative answers on this matter.
But which one would it be? Why would she leave this behind? Why stay here?
If this is really the place where all Little Red Riding Hood finally "ends up", then how did Little Red Riding Hood, who left these messages here, maintain her sanity and write these things at the last moment? What did she discover?
Yu Sheng's eyes once again fell on the beginning of those words.
"...It's alive..."
The meaning here should be that "something" is alive, but what exactly does it mean? What is alive? What is dreaming?
Yu Sheng raised his head.
The corpse of the big bad wolf has completely stopped twitching, and the blood in its belly has almost dried up. Next, it should turn into very good meat.
And not far away, a layer of indifferent starlight spilled in from the window of the small house.
Chapter completed!
