[Comprehensive Fairy Tale] Today I am still full of energy

The firewood in the fireplace is "crackling" burning vigorously, and the fire is swaying from side to side, as if it is swinging freely, stretching its waist and limbs, dancing and singing silently with the sparks splashing from the firewood.

There are two windows in the stone house, but the windows are slightly closed at this time, and the outside is full of towering trees to block out the sun, so the sunlight cannot be cast into this huge and dark stone house. In the stone house, only dim kerosene lamps and the The burning fire flickered and illuminated everything in this room.

Facing the man sitting on the sofa sideways, the overlapping long~legs moved slightly, the duck feathers on Shen Xun's body stood up in fright, and he was about to pull the ugly girl to test his potential from the window When flying out, the man spoke.

The deep and slightly hoarse voice was not very pleasant to say the least, but it inexplicably revealed a magical power, which made Shen Xun's body and mind, which wanted to move, settle down.

"Poor duckling, are you lost?" The voice came from the man, and the man's long~legs switched sides and continued to overlap comfortably, "Did you smell the smell of bread and followed?"

The two poor ducks were still shivering in front of the door, obviously feeling the abnormality here, and also remembering the confusing smell of bread. It is obviously impossible to attract them to this stone house through most of the forest , then this is deliberate.

Seeing the weak and helpless appearance of the two ducklings in front of him, the man couldn't help laughing. The laughter instantly filled the entire empty stone house, and echoed back and forth strangely. Even the flame in the fireplace was inexplicably higher. Husband.

Hearing this cheerful laughter, the two ducklings silently stepped back two steps.

"Sorry, because I haven't seen anything interesting for a long time, so I'm so happy this time. It's rare to have such a cute little duck come to my door. I should be a hospitable host and treat you to a meal." He said, The man stretched out his slender hand to gesture to the sweet bread still on the table, "Please, cute little ducklings, you must be very hungry after traveling through most of the forest."

Under such a strange atmosphere, Shen Xun forgot that he was still in the form of a duck for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head and refused: "No, we are not hungry at all." As soon as the words fell, his stomach immediately rang out, The voice was especially loud in the empty stone house, and it was especially slap in the face for what he said just now.

Fortunately, the duck feathers on his face were long enough, otherwise his face would have been as bright red as a ripe apple.

Sure enough, the man laughed happily again, as if he was very happy, and the fire light swayed back and forth rhythmically with his laughter.

The ugly brat has been secretly observing all this novelty, and it discovered that this man was actually talking to the two ducks, and he could understand Shen Xun's "quack", with a look of familiarity, as if this Nothing could be more normal.

This really aroused its curiosity, and it wanted to understand all this.

So it widened its black stone-like eyes and stared at the man on the sofa. Under the light of the fire, the man smiled slightly and turned his head slightly in their direction, revealing a pair of amazingly bright brown eyes. , inexplicably, it just felt that the man was observing them.

Shen Xun took two steps, stood in front of the ugly girl, and looked at the man. After all, he was not an important role in the fairy tale, so he naturally wanted to open the way for the protagonist of the fairy tale.

The man stared at the two ducklings blocking the door for a moment, raised his outstretched white wrist slightly, and pointed at the basket of bread, and the basket containing the bread flew into the air!

The two ducks, who had never seen the world before, opened their mouths in shock, and the basket flew straight towards them. The man's fingertip swipe down casually, and the basket stopped firmly in front of the two ducks, and fell to the ground. on the ground.

"You're welcome, please enjoy."

However, Shen Xun still didn't move, staring at the man suspiciously, not daring to make the next move.

Although he was indeed very hungry, he sensed that men were not offering them food out of pure kindness.

The man was not in a hurry, and quietly observed these two new arrivals.

The ugly girl who was blocked by him was silent for a while, and silently took in everything that happened in front of her eyes. Then, she came out from behind Shen Xun, walked slowly to the basket of bread, lowered her head He picked up the bread with his duckbill and ate it.

Shen Xun was a little shocked: "Little girl! Why did you eat?"

The ugly girl swallowed half of the bread in an instant, turned her head and said to Shen Xun seriously: "I'll taste it first, and you can eat it if there is no problem." Then she continued to gnaw the bread with her head down. They were already unbearably hungry because of the rush, and now they entered the stone house and couldn't get out. They were already under the control of the other party, so it was better to eat the food in front of them and survive first.However, he had to taste it first to see if there was a problem before giving it to Shen Xun to eat.

Seeing the actions of the two little ducks, the man found it very interesting. He did not expect that he would see such a humane scene on the ducks. Although some animals and plants in this forest had been endowed with thoughts by him, in the final analysis it was still Lacking a bit of humanity, a soul that only has silly fun and watching the excitement all day has no meaning at all. What he wants is something interesting and not boring.

It seems that these two ducks can temporarily provide him with entertainment for a while.

Naturally, there was no problem with the bread, so the ugly girl turned her head and called Shen Xun to eat.Shen Xun thought, anyway, it is a duck now, if it is poisoned to death, there will be no loss. At most, the protagonist of the fairy tale, the ugly girl, will be brought along with the dog, and the fairy tale may not be completed.However, at the moment he is very hungry, it would be more comfortable to be poisoned to death.

So the two little ducks pecked at the bread in the basket side by side, and soon the whole basket of bread was eaten.

During this process, the man watched them eat quietly all the time, his brown eyes sparkled because he found something interesting, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly unconsciously in the darkness.

After eating, Shen Xun, who was holding the broken jar, had no scruples, and asked the man, "Who are you? How could you understand us? You even brought us here."

The man answered his question patiently, without even changing his posture, he said, "My name is Gram, and I am a wizard. I can understand the voices of all things at this time. As for you coming here..." He paused for a while, obviously smiling, "Didn't you break into my house privately following the smell of bread? Cute ducklings."

Shen Xun was choked up, but couldn't refute.

The man looked at them for a while, and he stood up without much movement. The man's tall shadow was elongated by the fire and reflected on the wall. The man's head was slightly lowered, and a pair of brown eyes looked at them with pity. The figure moved slightly, slowly approaching them step by step, the sound of shoes dragging on the ground was extremely loud.At this time, Shen Xun realized that the man in front of him was actually wearing a black cloak. The wide cloak hid most of his face in the shadows, only the eyes with pity for all beings were very eye-catching.

Shen Xun subconsciously wanted to retreat, but the door was closed, and there was no way for him and the ugly girl to retreat, and he found that he couldn't move the ugly girl anymore.

This time the ugly girl stood in front of him very heroically, staring at the man closely.Intuition tells it that this man will not hurt them for the time being, but it is still worried, just now it was Shen Xun who protected it, this time it will take the initiative to stand up to protect Shen Xun, and it will also protect him in the future.

The man had already walked to the two ducklings slowly. He squatted down slowly, stared at the two ducklings, and lifted the black cloak hat on his head with his hand.Behind him was the blazing fire, and the orange light was reflected on his back. The man's handsome facial features were still catching people's attention in the flickering light and darkness. There was a faint smile on his lips, and the compassionate eyes in everyone's eyes made the two ducks stunned.

"If you eat my food, you will have to pay for it." Graham said lightly.

The ugly girl blinked: "What price?"

Surprised, Shen Xun consciously found the answer.

"You don't want to eat roast duck, do you?!" That's really a loss. Two roast ducks are exchanged for a basket of bread. No matter how you look at it, it's their loss!

Gram's eyes jumped from the ugly girl to Shen Xun behind him in an instant, he raised the corners of his lips, and echoed viciously: "You are right, you can also roast duck, there is a fireplace here, just throw it in That's it."

The ugly girl covered the sight of Gram cast on Shen Xun again, and said righteously: "Eat me if you want to! It's too fat and it doesn't taste good!"

Shen Xun nodded earnestly and agreed: "Yes, a basket of bread can only be exchanged for a roast duck."

Ugly girl: "..."

Graham was amused by what the two ducklings said, and the smile on his lips deepened. He said, "You are really interesting. I just asked you to stay and work as compensation. If you want Make it a roast duck and return my bread, I reluctantly accepted."

Shen Xun: "..."

Ah, didn't you eat roast duck?
