[British and American Drama] Mental Correction

[Chapter 3]

When they dragged the emaciated wolf back to the cabin, the sky had completely fallen.

Claire stopped Hannibal when he was 20 meters away from the cabin.The young man turned his head to look at her, his clear blue pupils were extraordinarily deep in the night.He pursed his lips, and said hesitantly: "Misha... I remember, you turned off the light..."

After the voice fell, the two young figures turned their heads to look at the wooden house tens of meters away.Through the glass windows, one can glimpse the flickering candles in the house. The color is obviously warm, but it makes people's back silently feel cool——

Who is the person who occupies their residence?

With Hannibal's slightly bewildered expression, Claire directed him to hide the wolf behind a tree, along with the pistol, bow and crossbow, and the only thing left on him were the two used to sharpen arrows Yaya's knife was hidden in Hannibal's and Claire's coats respectively.They stood guard at the door for a long time.It wasn't until the bitter cold wind was about to freeze them to death that the voices in the house quieted down.

Through the window, one can hear the snoring sounds of men one after another from time to time—they are not alone.The number is at least three or more!

However... Claire looked at Hannibal's little face that was blue from the cold.She had to admit that they had to go back to the cabin.The reason is also very simple, because it is too cold!

In order to avoid the artillery/fire/strikes of the war, Mr. Lecter chose a wooden house completely away from the city and human settlements. It would be a dream to find another family in this forest!Then the options in front of them are naturally extremely clear: if they go back to the wooden house, they will be frozen to death outside.

Then go back, how to go back?Who can guarantee to go back and live.What kind of people are inside...?

Claire said nothing with a sullen face, and Hannibal didn't bother him, obviously, he also thought of this question.After a while, Hannibal carefully pulled Claire's sleeve and led her away from the cabin.

"I'll go back, you wait for me here." Hannibal said seriously.

"If they are bad people, you run away." He obviously couldn't think of any comprehensive solution in his young mind: "If you are hungry, you eat wolf meat... There is no way if you can't start the fire, you... live Go on..." Hannibal couldn't continue, obviously, he also realized that this idea was not realistic.

The frustration almost broke his little neck, making his head so heavy that he couldn't lift it up.

Claire shook her head: "Go back together." She took the gun into her hand: "But I'll go back first."

Then Claire stopped what Hannibal wanted to say, turned around and put the bow and crossbow on her back.She gestured to Hannibal and went back to the wooden window again.

It's a wooden window, an old design that needs a prop to hold the window up every time it's opened, not even glass.Only the corner window near the kitchen is like this in the whole log house.Because it would be drafty, Mrs. Lecter had wrapped all the sills and sills of the windows in thick cloth.But now, she felt that she could be used.

Claire stepped on Hannibal's hand to climb up to the window sill, and then slid into the room dexterously using her childish body in the gap of the window that the boy propped up for her.

There is no one in the kitchen, and the left hand side of the kitchen is the stairs.

Claire made a waiting gesture to Hannibal, then silently poked her head out of the kitchen.Near the fireplace in the living room, six tall men leaned together and fell into a deep sleep, completely unaware that a small sparrow had slipped into the room.Immediately, he quietly went upstairs with his weapon on his back.

Ten minutes later, Claire went back downstairs again, and returned the same way.They waited for the dawn outside the room, and when the first ray of morning light appeared, Claire followed Hannibal, dragging the wolf's tail with him to the door of the wooden house.

"Hannibal, it's so cold!" she said, stamping her feet and moaning in distress.

Hannibal patted her head, and said the line that had been stringed up a long time ago: "Don't be afraid, Misha, we will be home soon, have you forgotten what Uncle Allie said, he will be back soon, wait When he comes back, we'll be able to eat delicious meat!"

Then he shook off the key chain and led Misha into the door—"Who are you?!"

The little boy questioned inconceivably, took a step back with his sister in his arms, and the little girl in his arms poked her head out ignorantly, and the moment she looked into their eyes, she retracted her head as if she was frightened.

"Wow, wow, look at what I saw!" The leading man took a step forward, showing an exaggerated expression, spreading his hands in circles as if singing, sighing: "It's a gift from God!"

As soon as his words fell, he lifted Hannibal in his hands very roughly, and the people behind him had a clear division of labor. One quickly locked the door, one dragged away the wolf in their hands, and the other patted and searched. They physically make sure there are no weapons.Of course, they found nothing.

Not surprised either.

After all, several people clearly heard what Hannibal said, Uncle Allie.

After cross-examination, the girl was ignorant, but the boy did not cooperate.But according to his few-word answers, several Germans got (thinking) comprehensive information instead, that is, Uncle Allie, who actually abandoned them at all.

In order to pay the price of being a thin wolf.And the weapon used by that person should be a bow and crossbow with a powerful killing range. The arrow pierced fiercely into the right neck of the wolf, just hitting its artery.

Although it is a pity that there is no chance to grab it, it does not affect the good mood of several people.

The leader is called Ladis Grutas.Grutas has the absolute right to speak among the six.They quickly disposed of the dead wolf, and the strong smell of blood spread throughout the room.Due to the lack of ingredients, the wolf meat was only boiled and eaten.

The six men were so hungry that they huddled together for a feast, and the German named Dotrices hesitated to share some with them, and was stopped by Grutas.

The man raised his face coldly: "Comeon! Dort! Even without us, they would die! All you are doing is wasting food!"

Hannibal roared angrily, "We brought this back!" He roared, "Misha! Misha is still hungry!" However, he was obviously unable to do anything while being bound by chains.His anger didn't even make sense, and a few Germans didn't care at all.

Claire lay quietly by his lap, shivering helplessly, extremely harmless.

On this night, Glentas finally couldn't stand Hannibal's endless cursing and roaring, so he unchained Hannibal and threw the two children who seemed harmless to him upstairs.

At night, after the men fell asleep, Hannibal and Claire slipped into the kitchen again. The boy took away six pieces of cooked meat, and saw Claire roughly tearing off a leg.Hannibal asked uncertainly: "Will this be too obvious...?"

Claire turned to look at the sleeping men, with a cold expression on her face: "Otherwise, we will be starved to death by them."

She looked at the sleeping Grutas.This man has wolf-like eyes, and when he looks at people, he is always cruel and cruel, making her feel her body and even her soul tremble, wanting to tear his eyes, mouth, and flatten his facial features with a knife, so that he Bloody and bloody kneeling and confessing his evil deeds, let him...

Every cell in her was screaming, which made Claire have to force herself to avoid his sight again and again, hiding behind Hannibal and trembling.

This person... reminded her of her nightmare in reality.

[Ladis Grutas].

Claire took a deep breath: What kind of feeling is this? This kind of malice is so strong that she also feels afraid.

Claire lowered her eyes.

Once again, avoiding Hannibal's worries and scrutiny.

The author has something to say: the heroine has her own blackened attribute, but it should be noted that she is not blackened!No blackening!No blackening!
