The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 261 Little Red Riding Hood at the Witch’s House ([-])

"I was walking alone on a small road in the countryside. I brought the cakes to my mother-in-law to try. My mother-in-law lives in a far and remote place. I have to be careful about whether there is a big bad wolf on the road..."

On a country road overgrown with weeds, a little girl wearing a red headscarf was walking to her mother-in-law's house with a small basket.

Maybe the pastry shop she worked part-time gave her a small piece of sweet pastry today, which put her in a good mood.

The little girl was almost humming a little song while walking.

She had no parents since she was born. It was her mother-in-law who picked her up in the wild as a baby and brought her home to raise her.

Because her mother-in-law tied a red scarf on her, people in the village nicknamed her "Little Red Riding Hood".

In the village, many people have no names, and everyone calls each other by nicknames.

For example, a blacksmith is a person who makes iron tools, a cobbler is a person who tans skins and makes fur materials, and some other people are called lame, blind, big, small, etc.

Compared with these names, Little Red Riding Hood felt that her nickname was not so ugly.

The path she is walking on now was stepped on by passers-by who passed by here in the past. The path is narrow and long with vegetation.

At this time, Little Red Riding Hood looked around, and the rustling wind pressed the head of the grass from time to time, and the surrounding was deserted, and she was the only one walking on this road.

A gust of cool wind suddenly blew by, causing goose bumps on her exposed skin.

Little Red Riding Hood looked left and right, and she couldn't help thinking of fear.

She had heard from the adults in the village earlier that there lived a terrible evil witch deep in the woods.

In the village, children often fell ill and died for no reason. They said that it was all because of witches who cast spells in secret to harm people.They also said that if the children were disobedient, the witches would come and catch them at night and use them to make magic potions.

As she thought about it, Little Red Riding Hood felt the goosebumps on her body getting denser.

She subconsciously stretched out both hands to hug her arms tightly, and she was still muttering to herself while walking, "I'm a good child, and Little Red Riding Hood is a good child, so the witch won't come to catch me..."

But the more she said this, the more frightened she became.

Little Red Riding Hood doesn't know that there is such a truth in the world, that is, when people scare themselves, they tend to feel more and more afraid, and the more they think about it, the more afraid they become.

Sometimes, even afraid of what will happen.

Just when Little Red Riding Hood wanted to speed up, leaving the grassland and entering the small village where her mother-in-law's house was located, a figure in a black cloak suddenly appeared behind her.

Before Little Red Riding Hood could run away, the figure behind her had strode forward and knocked her unconscious.

At the last moment before he passed out, the fallen Little Red Riding Hood caught a glimpse of a black figure out of the corner of his eye.

It's over, she was captured by the witch!

This was the last thought that ran through Little Red Riding Hood's mind.

The man in black, who had successfully knocked the person unconscious, directly lifted the person from the ground with one hand and held him in his arms.

As for the small bamboo basket containing cakes that fell on the ground, the man in black didn't pay attention.

This grassland is between the forest and the village. Hunters will appear in the village at any time, and they must leave as soon as possible.

So the man in black put on Little Red Riding Hood, turned around and plunged into the dense forest.

On the grass, the half-person tall weeds were still swaying with the wind, making a rustling sound.

The little bamboo basket dropped by Little Red Riding Hood lay quietly in place, waiting to be discovered.

The man in black took Little Red Riding Hood all the way into the deepest part of the forest, where the legendary witch lived in the village.

Among the tall trees, there are two tree houses built on the trees, looming among the green leaves.

The man in black robe tied up Little Red Riding Hood's body with one end of a strong green vine hanging from the tree. He pulled the other end of the vine hard and pulled the man to the edge of the tree house above.

Then she used the vines herself, and quickly climbed up.

The black-robed man who came to the door of the tree house continued to lift Little Red Riding Hood, who was lying motionless in front of the door, and brought it into the house.

After entering, the man in black robe took off the large robe on his body.

The furnishing in the room was very simple, only a wooden bed made of local materials, a small wooden table, and a blanket made of unknown animal skin was spread on the floor.

In the corner of the room, there were some strange bottles and cans, and I didn’t know what was in them.

At this time, the man in black robe after taking off his outer robe revealed her original appearance.

Judging from her thick black hair and neat teeth, she shouldn't be an older woman.

But her face was covered with criss-crossed and terrifying scars, which were so distorted that it looked like a ghost would crawl out of it.In this age of gods, anyone who saw such a terrible face might think that he saw a demon.

The woman bowed out a handful of water from a wooden basin placed on the ground and came to Little Red Riding Hood who was still asleep.

She poured the cold water in her hand on the other person's face and patted the other person's face, causing the latter to wake up quickly.

Little Red Riding Hood, who woke up from a daze, didn't realize where she was now at first.

But she quickly remembered what she saw before she passed out.

It was a man in black robe who knocked himself out and brought him here!

Recalling this incident, Little Red Riding Hood immediately opened her eyes wide and looked around her.

As a result, she turned her head and saw a woman in dark gray sitting on the bed beside her.

And when she saw the woman's face clearly, she was instantly frightened and screamed.

There is no other reason, just because this woman looks terrible!

Her face was as if someone had forced it into a fire. It was covered with criss-crossed scars that seemed to have been burned, and uneven and ferocious flesh scars, making this woman look like she had come from The devil crawling out of hell!
While Little Red Riding Hood screamed, the woman sat motionless on the bed.

Little Red Riding Hood, who was in a state of panic, didn't even notice the gentleness in the eyes of this ugly and hateful woman looking at her.Even in the eyes of her mother-in-law who adopted her, that kind of tenderness has never been seen before.

After being frightened, Little Red Riding Hood tried to get up from the ground and escape from here.

But as soon as she opened the door and rushed out of the house, she almost lost her footing and fell from a tree about ten meters high.

Looking at the ground so far away from her feet, she could only swallow her saliva, and silently retreated back to the tree house behind her.Standing on a high place for the first time in her life, she realized that the fear of looking down was stronger than the fear of seeing a witch.

Little Red Riding Hood was forced to go back to the tree house, looked at the scary woman who was still sitting on the bed, and said slowly, "Excuse me, can you let me leave here?"
