[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] The Uncrowned King

The old woman drooled at the two brothers and sisters who were sleeping sweetly on the remaining two beds, and felt sick at the peeping Samuel.The old woman was picking and choosing, her eyes wandering between the two children, "It's really a delicious meal! But which one should I eat first? My brother is big, and my sister is fleshy. It's really hard to choose."

"Let's eat my brother first! My sister has to grow up, and my brother has to eat well, so I won't lose money. It's a pity for that kid who ran away! Just don't let him eat him now, Look how energetic he is, it must be delicious!" As she spoke, the old woman grabbed her brother Hansel by the arm and dragged him down the stairs, her hand was so strong that Hansel didn't even feel it.Because Samuel didn't dare to follow the old woman downstairs, he didn't know where Hansel was imprisoned, but just stayed under the window, afraid that the old woman would come back suddenly.

It was only a moment later that Samuel heard the old woman coming up the stairs, and Hansel's shout at the same time.The silly boy didn't know what happened, and Gretel was still sleeping soundly, until the old woman came upstairs again, dragged Gretel and shook her until she woke up, and then cursed at her:

"Lazy girl, get up quickly! I'm really ignorant, get up and work quickly, fetch water for your brother to cook delicious food, and make him fat and fat for nothing! Haha, just let me eat him!"

Gretel was so frightened that he burst into tears, and instantly remembered the sentence that brother Hansel said yesterday when he was eating at the house, "I will recognize even the devil's things", and now my brother must regret it!

Driven by the old woman, the little girl went downstairs to work, and Samuel felt that everything that happened seemed familiar, so he tried to recall which fairy tale he had read.The bed where he stayed was very safe, the white bed sheets hung down to the ground, and the bed was high, so there was a lot of space under the bed, and he even let the little flowers out of the backpack to let them walk quietly in it.

After thinking and thinking, Samuel finally remembered some vague memories, and it wasn't just a fairy tale that he thought of directly.Samuel remembers chasing a comic on a comic website when he was still on Earth, in which the actor’s academy was preparing for a play, so he chose such a story. Samuel still has a deep memory of that comic, I only remember that the female supporting role played the role of the younger sister, and desperately fed the male protagonist who played the role of the older brother in the drama, but she couldn’t get fat, so the old woman became furious... After the anger, the update was interrupted, and it didn’t take long for Samuel Just came here.

But when Samuel was reading the comics, he was always in the complaining mode. He saw someone saying that this was not a fairy tale. At that time, Samuel searched the Internet with the idea that the comics were over and the fairy tale was over, because it was just a rough idea. I glanced at the outline, so I remembered that the two brothers and sisters escaped successfully, and the younger sister married a king by chance. According to the nature of such a happy reunion, the elder brother must also be rich and prosperous.

And Samuel didn't think about it before, purely because who would remember the names of the princess and prince in fairy tales when he was a child, but now seeing that the two brothers and sisters have their own names seems too passer-by, so he didn't realize it at all.But now that he realized it, Samuel was thinking again, should he save the two brothers and sisters?

Whether they can be rescued is not a problem. The two weak children can escape, and Samuel is of course no problem.But if those two brothers and sisters were saved, the bad luck of being eaten could be avoided now, but what about after they were rescued?Can two children who have been abandoned by their parents live well in this forest?If not rescued, the two children can naturally follow the fairy tale track and escape, and when they meet the king, Gretel can become the queen.

Samuel was very entangled in his heart. He wanted to leave like this, but he was afraid that the fairy tale would be distorted, just like the big bad wolf he met that could turn into a human. What if something went wrong?It is also impossible for him to stay here to see if they can escape, let alone follow to see if they can meet the king!

Really, Samuel felt that he was too indecisive.He is the man who promised to change the world with the mermaid!Even though I don’t have any scores yet, I can’t waste all my time on it!

Samuel decided to give the choice to the siblings.After all, he can't be responsible for other people's lives, let alone take care of others for a lifetime, he should be responsible for himself.

And so the day passed while Samuel listened to the old woman.At night, the old woman went to sleep in her bed, and Samuel sneaked out from under the window with the little flower in her arms, and slipped over the old woman's window, to the basement, where she saw Gretel and Hansel sleeping there , Gently shook them awake, took out a pen and paper and talked to them.

"I have a prophecy ball, it shattered when I met you before, and a prophecy floated out, so now you have two choices: I will rescue you right away, and then you live your own life; or endure here, wait Then Gretel would meet a king and be his wife, and Hansel would be rich and rich."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and reached a consensus. The elder brother Hansel wrote on the paper: "We are willing to choose the latter option. Now even if you take us out, we have no way out. Why don't you let go and give it a try?" .”

Samuel looked at them in amazement, unexpectedly they were decisive.Shen Yin wrote again: "I will stay here for seven days, and I will leave after seven days."

"Thank you. If I can really become queen, I will definitely repay you." This time Grelette replied.Samuel smiled, thinking that as long as they lived, as for the reward, this is not a political investment.

Samuel slipped out of the gate and hid in a nearby forest.The white bird didn't respond to him. It seemed that it had only a little wisdom endowed by magic.

So for seven days, Samuel watched Gretel cook a lot of meals for Hansel every day, and from the disappointed old woman's cry of "Why are you still so thin", Samuel knew what Hansel should have used The way to hide it.

Then on the seventh day, when Samuel was about to leave, he saw two children running out of the door while the old woman was busy, but it wasn't long before the old woman came out and put on a pair of clothes. The brand new high boots, which were very tall, seemed to be some magical props, and disappeared in front of Samuel in an instant.

Samuel did not follow.Please pray for your own blessings, I only hope that the two children can get the ending like in the fairy tale.

Then, Samuel wanted to go to the bakery to search for any magic props. He was really envious of the old woman's boots, and when the two children escaped, they also took a stick and a flute , should also be something for an old woman.You must know that although Xiaohua is really powerful, props like this cannot be removed, because Samuel, who is an imaginary thing, can't imagine the principle of it at all.

However, at this moment, the white bird standing on the top of the roof screamed in pain, and instantly turned into a puddle of water, and then the whole house also underwent such a change, but after a while, Samuel stood there In a daze in an open space.Well, it seems that I can't order anything good, and I have been delayed here for a few days, so I should continue to find the way out of the forest.

...Wait, it seems that Samuel still hasn't figured out how to get out of the forest!Forget it, let's find it slowly.

This time, after walking for a while, I saw that the surrounding trees gradually became thinner, and after a while, I reached the border of the forest.Was it really the magic cast by the old woman?

Samuel walked into the village.He remembered that Hansel and Gretel belonged to this village, and were abandoned by his parents viciously. Suddenly, his brain froze, and he began to inquire about their home.The situation in the village is better now, maybe it's another harvest. The people walking inside are not as hungry as the two brothers and sisters described, but their expressions are calm.

Samuel stopped in front of a small wooden house and began to knock on the door. After a while, a trembling male voice came from inside:

"Is it Hansel and Gretel? Are you back?"

The wooden door creaked open, revealing the face of an old man with guilt and expectation, but when he saw that it was Samuel who knocked on the door, he showed undisguised disappointment.Did this man think that it would be his two children who knocked on the door? He abandoned them so simply at the time, but now that the famine has improved, he immediately misses them again?

The conditions in the great era are not good, and it is indeed easy to destroy human nature. Even in modern times, there are many parents who abandon their children, but this is not an excuse that can be justified and forgiven.

"who are you?"

"You are the father of Hansel and Gretel."

"Why, have you seen them? Our children, how are they now?"

An old woman also stood up from the room, her face was full of harshness, this person is the stepmother of the two siblings, she heard the conversation between Samuel and the man, and said hypocritically to Samuel:

"Why, are those two children causing trouble for you?"

"No, I just sent a message for them."

Knowing that the two brothers and sisters in the fairy tale had gone to live in another country and never came back, Samuel dared to speak recklessly:

"I am sending a message for these two children who have surrendered to the god of death."

"Dead! My children, are they dead?"

The man was hit hard, and his back was bent for a moment.

"Hey, why are you so surprised? Isn't death a foregone conclusion when you abandon them?"
