The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 263 The Witch's Little Red Riding Hood ([-])
After entering the room, Lin Shu glanced at the little man in the corner with a faint expression, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Little Red Riding Hood didn't know why the other party asked this, but she shook her head honestly.

She worked in the bakery in the town during the day, during which she only ate a few bites of black and hard brown bread that was not sold.At this moment, I was so hungry that I didn't feel much.

In this era, in this village, even hard-working peasants often have enough to eat.

There are always tax collectors in the city who come to the towns in the countryside regularly to collect taxes, and the small tax collectors in the towns come to the villages to collect taxes.

Little Red Riding Hood didn't know why even though everyone was working hard, they still couldn't get enough to eat.

She thought maybe it had something to do with the fact that there was always someone coming to collect taxes.

When I went out this morning, my mother-in-law told her to find a way to steal some food from the pastry shop.

But Little Red Riding Hood did not do this. Instead, the bakery owner gave her a small piece of pastry.

But in return, the other party stretched out the big hand that is usually used to knead noodles and squeezed her buttocks several times.

Little Red Riding Hood, who didn't know what the other party was doing at all, still took the pastry given by the other party back to the village happily.

She doesn't want to steal things from other people's houses. In her opinion, the boss who offered to give her pastries is really kind.

In the world in Little Red Riding Hood's eyes, life is a bit difficult, but she feels that everyone is kind.

The only bad guy in the world should be the witch.

She heard from the pastor in the town that witches are extremely evil, and she will summon demons from hell to harm the world.

And now, right in front of her eyes, there was a living witch walking around.

Looking at the child hiding in the corner, even after washing his face, he was still pale and skinny like a monkey, Lin Shu silently withdrew her gaze,
She walked to a corner of the room and pulled out a small jar containing dried fruits made by the original owner from a pile of pots and jars.

Lin Shu opened the mouth of the jar and saw that it contained a dried date palm-like fruit.

A fruit is about half as long as a finger, and the whole body is light yellow oval.

Lin Shu, who picked up a fruit, tried to put it into her mouth and ate it.

Unexpectedly, the taste of this fruit is surprisingly sweet.

The aromatic sweetness emanating from the pulp does not have any additives in it, but a kind of sweet sugar accumulated after the natural fresh fruit is dried and the water evaporates.

Lin Shu ate three sweet dried fruits in a row, then she stood up, grabbed a handful of dried fruits from the small jar, turned around and handed the fruits to Little Red Riding Hood.

"You eat these dried fruits first, and I'll get some other food later."

Just now, Little Red Riding Hood saw Lin Shu eating the fruit with her own eyes, but now she is not worried about the fruit.

She tremblingly took the fruit from Lin Shu's hand, but was not in a hurry to eat it.

It wasn't until the latter turned her back that she couldn't wait to pick up a fruit and stuff it into her mouth.

The skin of the dried fruit is slightly rough and wrinkled, but as soon as the teeth bite through the outer layer of dry skin, the incomparable sweetness of the flesh inside instantly floods into the taste buds on the tongue.

This is the first time Little Red Riding Hood has eaten such a sweet thing.

She thought, the white frosting on the delicate desserts eaten by the noble ladies in the city is probably this sweet, right?

Little Red Riding Hood almost devoured the first dried fruit and began to chew the other fruits slowly.

After handing the dried fruit to Little Red Riding Hood, Lin Shu returned to the previous corner to continue searching for food.

Lin Shu quickly looked through all the jars here.

Unfortunately, she didn't find any grains like wheat, nor did she find edible meat.

The original owner who lived in seclusion deep in the forest had obviously been living a life of poverty and destitution.

The small can of dried fruit she found just now may have been the best food in the entire tree house.

Lin Shu also noticed that the pots and jars placed in the corners were all chipped.

Perhaps because the original owner was far away from the village outside the forest, she might have picked up these things from somewhere.

After the inspection, Lin Shu stood up again.

Since there was no food in the house, she had to go out and look for food.

According to the memory of the original owner, there should be a stream flowing from the mountain nearby, and there are also many wild animals in the forest.

Lin Shu was about to go out and took out an old rusty sickle from the house.

When Little Red Riding Hood saw her taking out the sickle, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to eat the fruit.

Lin Shu wanted to go up to her and give her a word or two, but seeing someone so cowardly, after thinking about it, she decided not to approach her.

The child was really scared of her.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu could only say, "You just wait here for my return, don't go anywhere."

Seeing that Lin Shu didn't intend to hurt her with the sickle, Little Red Riding Hood nodded timidly.

Then she watched Lin Shu's figure walk out of the tree house, and disappeared in front of her eyes not long after.

Lin Shu, who climbed down from the tree house, shook the old scythe in her hand.

This thing had no lethality and could only chop down some weeds and small wood. She had to find some long sticks in the forest and sharpen them herself to use as a hunting tool.

Lin Shu, who left the tree house, began her first exploration of a corner of the world.

The wish that the original owner made to her was for her to take good care of and protect Little Red Riding Hood.

If this forest can meet her and Little Red Riding Hood's basic needs, then she may stay here forever.

Because with the appearance and identity of the original owner, it is not suitable to go to a place where human beings live together.

When Lin Shu was making simple weapons and hunting and fishing in the depths of the forest alone, on the country road outside the forest, a passerby found the basket of cakes that Little Red Riding Hood left behind before she was kidnapped. .

This man is from the same village as Little Red Riding Hood, but he spends his days doing nothing and is known as a lazy drunkard. He often goes to the city to beg to earn money for drinking, and his reputation in the village is not very good.

At this time, there was a touch of orange-red sunset light in the sky, and the sun had completely set.

The lazy man also discovered this little basket on his way back to the village.

It stands to reason that even an ordinary basket would not be thrown on the road, not to mention there is food in it.

But the lazy man didn't care where the basket came from, he just took out the food inside.

Regardless of the black ants attracted by the sweet pastry, he patted it casually and ate the pastry whole.

After eating, he threw the basket far away into the weed pile half the height of a person, and no one could find it now.

The lazy man picked up a meal and continued on the way back to the village.

He waited until the last ray of light in the sky was about to disappear before he wandered into a small remote village.
