[British and American Drama] Mental Correction

[Chapter 4]

They were beaten the next day.

Yes, after Ladis Grutas visited the pot early in the morning, he was furious and threw Hannibal in the air.His anger made him want to slap Hannibal against the wall, but some unknown concern made Grutas finally "just" "mercifully" slap him a few times.

And his sister Misha (also known as Claire), bit his hand when he wanted to continue to use force!This, damn girl!

Grutas looked at his bandaged wound, the feeling of anger still lingering.The whole wooden house was eerily silent, and there were two little men hugging each other in the corner, with bruises on their faces and bodies.

Ladis Grutas, he doesn't have a moral bottom line as [a person].Violence against two young children did not even make this man feel any embarrassment or shame.

Hannibal held Claire carefully in his arms with trembling hands. Her young face was bruised, her right eyeball was covered with blood, and her red and swollen eyes made her look a little shocking.The teenager may never forget that scene in his life.His sister, who has always been weird as if deliberately erecting a barrier between each other, came to rescue him without hesitation when she was beaten.

Even though it seemed stupid to hit a stone with a pebble, it made his heart feel extremely warm.

And Claire?With a calm expression, she withdrew her gaze from looking at Hannibal, this young man, he has not yet awakened.If you saw your young sister holding a gun and killing people in the house, would you break down?Yes, it will definitely crash.

Her fingers worked silently, and might even come back to stop her.

But the reality is that if you only rely on yourself to deal with six strong young men, you will die.

Not enough.Claire sighed silently: I hope Grutas is a complete villain, so that she doesn't need to feel guilty, and Hannibal also doesn't need such insignificant things as guilt.

In Clare's silently harboring malicious thoughts, time is also passing by quickly.After the wolf meat was completely consumed, everyone in the wooden house had to face hunger again.

Dortlich, one of the six, was responsible for going out to find food, but every time they found nothing, they even ate those moldy potatoes!After two days, the hungry and dizzy Ladis Grutas finally came out of his wrath!But only two days!Only two days without food made everyone hysterical, including him!

"Look what you got back!" he growled!

"You thought it was minced meat! These are just frozen maggots! Before the leg freezes, it's completely rotten!" He was going crazy with the fear of starvation!

Dortlich dodged his body during his roar, his expression a little embarrassed and stiff.And it was this look that made Ladis Grutas realize something.He violently lifted off Dortlich's overcoat, and what was hidden in his chest was a dead sparrow, whose body was not completely stiff.

The fear of losing food made Dortlich fight with him, but Ladis Grutas raised the hammer in his hand with a grim expression, threatening: "Believe it or not, I will smash your head!"

Immediately after Dortlich let go, he eagerly crushed the sparrow's neck, and the warm blood flowed down his throat into his empty stomach. He looked upstairs in this blood-drinking brutality, Hannibal Looking at him in fear, the little girl in his arms hid in Hannibal's arms and trembled before her eyes met his.

Her hair mixed with chestnut and gold is soft and bright under the light, as smooth as satin, and the white skin on the back of her neck is full of fleshy elasticity and softness, making his mouth water...

At this moment, he made a decision.

Ladis Grutas looked at Claire upstairs, and said in a trance: "weeat...ordie." After his words fell, everyone turned their eyes to the two villains hugging each other in the attic .The desperate eyes finally radiated a frantic light because of what they saw.

Yep, they're not out of the woods yet!Yes, eat them and live!

Dortlich, who was wearing a hat, grabbed a teddy bear and walked up the stairs first. He even sang a nursery rhyme triumphantly: "There is a dwarf in the woods, calm and silent~" He laughed loudly, He smiled and shook the little bear, but the approaching eyes were greedy and evil.

He sings: "He's got a purple coat, tell us who that dwarf is~~"

"Who is standing alone in the woods~" Dortlich finally showed his fierce light~!The voice is also high with excitement! "Wearing him, that fuchsia little overcoat..."

[Boom! ]

A gunshot sounded suddenly!Ladis Grutas and the others could only see that Dortlich twitched his body, and fell down the stairs along the handrail.The bright red blood also spread across the ground in an instant——

There are guns!

Ladis Grutas and others quickly took out their guns and shot at the top floor!However, the two villains don't know whether they are crawling on the ground or hiding somewhere, and they can't see clearly at all!

Ladis Grutas raised his hand, the gunfire stopped, and everyone looked at him.And this man took a step downstairs with a cold expression, and instantly showed a kind and chilling smile: "Oh! Hannibal! Do you know what you are doing?! I can't believe my eyes, you You actually killed a person who spent so many days with you!"

"Dortlich! Dortlich is only 31 years old this year! He has a very lovely wife! A daughter with the same eyes as Misha! God..." He seemed to be devastated: "I just don't know, How should I tell them this cruel news...a girl lost her father because of you...!"

Ladis Grutas sighed in pain and sorrow: "But why did you do this?! Where did you get the weapon?! Dortlich, just want to play with Misha, want to sing to her Just sing nursery rhymes!"

There was no response from the people upstairs, which made Ladis Grutas finally stop this useless effort, and he turned cold: "If you come out now, I can promise you that I won't hurt you... and Misha .But you must apologize to Dortlich for the crimes you committed!"

He took the opportunity to direct Geinz beside him to turn Dortlich's body over, and the gun hole that penetrated the man's eyebrow was bleeding continuously.Ladis Grutas, who never put Misha in his eyes, has already identified Dortlich who was killed by Hannibal.But this level of accuracy... still let them gasp: This, should be a coincidence...?

But Ladis Grutas didn't know that Hannibal, the murderer in his eyes, was looking at his little sister with complicated eyes.

"Misha..." He hesitated, but he didn't know what to say.Hannibal, who is already 9 years old, has grown very fast. He still has a child's face, but he is already 1.4 meters five. In his heart, Hannibal has long regarded himself as an adult who can protect his sister, but in the end, Still let Misha protect him.

He didn't have any deep feelings for the slain Dockery. After calmly scanning the people downstairs, he looked at his sister again: "Does your shoulder hurt?" He whispered, reaching out and rubbing Claire's hand. The shoulder blade of the gun hand.

Browning's recoil wasn't too strong, and adults wouldn't even feel it too deeply, but Misha's body was so tender and delicate that Claire would feel sore shoulders every time he shot.She motioned for Hannibal to lie down on the ground, and turned her eyes to the people downstairs——

"Hannibal, Ladis Grutas wants to eat us." She turned her head, her eyes were burning, and the light in her blue eyes made Hannibal inexplicably want to escape.He avoids his face.Claire caressed his face with her young and cold hands, and turned his face to herself: "Did you hear me, I said Ladis Grutas wants to eat us!"

"If we don't kill them, then we will die!" Her expression was terrifying!

"Hannibal, I don't want to die. I won't let you die either." Then he turned his head, his tone was as soft as a feather in the air, and he didn't know where it landed: "SO...Weeat...Ordie .”

And as the words fell, Claire shot again.Her marksmanship was unbelievably accurate and ruthless, as if she had rehearsed it countless times in her mind, and her hands did not tremble at all. After two gunshots, there was a sudden scream, and one after another, the gunshots shot towards the second-floor attic, almost all the handrails were broken.

Hannibal protected her small body under him, the fear of approaching death made his body tremble uncontrollably, but his mouth kept comforting: "Don't be afraid, Misha, don't be afraid."

He even sang a nursery rhyme in a low voice, which was the song Mrs. Lecter always sang to Misha when she was a child: "There is a dwarf in the woods, calm and silent~" The boy's voice was very clear, completely different from Dortlich .

He sang: "He's got a purple coat, tell us who that dwarf is~~"

"Who is standing alone in the woods~ wearing his little fuchsia coat..." Claire's face was expressionless, but her hand was secretly reaching for her chest. The heart was beating slowly and calmly. When she would be touched, she told her she was calm.

And in this silence, the gunfire downstairs stopped, and Claire knew that they had seen the two people lying on the ground, also shot between the eyebrows.This kind of impact made them give up resisting with the ammunition that they did not have enough.

Claire also said at this time: "Don't resist, there are only three of you left." The girl's voice was childish and innocent, but it was even more treacherous in this atmosphere.

"Ladis Grutas, don't you want to eat us?" Her laughter was piercing and loud, and this was the first time Ladis Grutas and the others heard this girl's laugh: "Now, there are three people It's ready to eat!"

Claire looked strange: "So, I let you survive."

Hannibal next to him could no longer make a sound.Claire, or his little sister Misha, came over to touch his soft black hair under his complicated and fearful eyes, her voice was gentle, as if afraid of frightening him:

"Hannibal, I promised you, I will not let you starve to death this winter."

And outside the window, the flying goose feathers and heavy snow indicate that this winter will also be extraordinarily long.
