Chapter 154: The Abominable Witch
I looked at the farmer and nodded slightly, indicating that I understood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info But there was a cloud of doubt in my heart, generally speaking, what these NPCs said was very accurate.
"Oh, yes, you're going to go anyway if you can. Can you give me this bit of wood for the old man? As he spoke, the farmer handed me ten pieces of Grade 1 wood. I nodded and took on the task. The heart said, "Let's go and see whatever." Maybe there's a surprise there.
Farewell to the farmer and embark on the road to find the lighthouse keeper. Passed through the village, into the woods, and followed the path to the south. After walking for a while, I saw a quaint wooden house at the end of the path. Look like that, this should be it. So, I quickened my pace and stepped forward.
When I came to the front of the house, I saw bundles of wood neatly stacked around the wooden house. It seems that this so-called lighthouse caretaker is also working as a lumberjack.
After going around the house and not seeing any strange old man, he knocked on the little door of the hut. After waiting for a while, the door gradually opened. A head with a big straw hat popped out of it, and said in a strange voice, "Who are you looking for?" β
I hurriedly replied, "Is it the caretaker of the lighthouse, please?" β
"It's me, what's wrong?" Although I couldn't see his face, I could hear it from his voice, and it seemed that he was impatient. I didn't have a good impression of my arrival.
"Oh, yes, I'm an outsider, and I passed by a small village where a farmer said let me bring these things to you."
"Let's just put it on the noodles. You're good to go. "Good fellow, not a word of thanks, and according to me, thousands of miles away. I won't even let in the door, and I'm going to close the door and go back while talking.
I hurriedly said, "Wait, please wait a minute!" I have other things to say yet! β
"If there's anything else, tell me quickly." That's what gave me a chance to tell what I wanted to know.
"I've been to that lighthouse before, and the mirror on the right inside is very weird, I don't know if you know anything about it?" I was afraid he would close the door for me before I could finish my question. Therefore, every sentence is true word by word. Try to take care of his weird mindγγγγγγ
"I know, what's wrong?" He still ruined me a few words with the simplicity of his tone. I have to say, this old man really cherishes words like gold. I don't want to say more.
"Well, when I went in I saw it inside the lighthouse, but when I came out and died, I found it gone. So, I think it'γγγγγγ Before I could finish speaking, the old man was in a hurry, and the door suddenly opened completely. He appeared in front of me completely.
"What did you just say?" It seems, he seems to be in a hurry.
"That, that mirror, he seems to be able to move γγγγγγ himself"
"I know, you said it was gone?"
"Well, that's missing, so I feel weirdγγγγγγ"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense, I'll go back to the lighthouse now. You follow me. β
When I saw this, I was happy. But I also know from the side that this so-called lighthouse guards and seems to be hiding some secrets. He seemed to pay special attention to the mirror.
Following him, the two of us walked briskly towards the lighthouse. Although this old man looks weak and trembling, his body is really good, and he really has wind under his feet when he walks. I had to run as hard as I could keep up.
At such a galloping speed, the two of us were soon back under the lighthouse. The old man rushed in first, rummaging around but not finding the mirror. For a moment, he was in a panic. Looking at his anxious and nervous appearance, I also felt strange in my heart.
At this moment, from the other side of the forest, the mirror appeared in front of the woods. I hurriedly called out to the old man, "There! That mirror is there! β
Hearing this, he turned his head, and when he saw the mirror, he rushed up in three steps and two steps, hugged the mirror in his arms, and said in a reproachful tone, "You naughty ghost, I have said that you don't want to run around without anything!" Scared grandpa to death! β
As soon as I heard it, there was a story in it, and he would say that he was the grandfather of the mirror! It's weird.
Then, a few words slowly appeared on the mirror, "Hee-hee, I went out by myself for a while." When you're worried about grandpa. β
Oh, my God! My worldview is completely shattered! There are ghosts in this mirror!
The "grandfather and grandson" didn't pay attention to me, and after the old man put the mirror back, it took a while before he slowly walked out of the lighthouse.
Before I could ask him what was going on, he spoke first. "I know what you're asking. Don't be afraid, this mirror is my grandson, my grandson is this mirror. β
"But, but, what the hell is going on!" For a moment, I stuttered a little.
"Well, that's a long story."
"I want to hear about it."
"All this is a good thing that the witch of this forest does! She was the one who hurt my grandson! Speaking of this, the old man's application became obviously excited.
"Don't worry, don't worry, speak slowly." I was afraid that he would be angry, so I hurriedly comforted him.
"Once, I took my lovely grandson into the woods to play. When passing by an orchard, the little grandson insisted on eating the apples from the fruit tree. I looked at these four and it didn't seem to be being cared for, so I thought they were all wild. And the apple was big and red, which was very attractive. So, I didn't hold back and picked one for him. β
"But I never expected that he had just taken a bite. Immediately, an abominable witch appeared under the fruit tree! She saw my grandson eat the apple, and she said that she had planted all the fruit trees in the woods, and that we were stealing. But without telling us to speak, he said to me that my grandson would be cursed by her if he ate of her fruit. Before I could react, he grabbed my grandson and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. β
"I was horrified when I lost my grandson! I'm dying! I'm such a little grandson! For a while, I inquired around, and finally found out where the witch lived with the people in the village. I gave her all my money and hoped she would forgive us. But who would have thought that she was so ruthless, saying that she could only return my grandson's soul to me, and that the body needed more money to redeem it. β
"I'm bankrupt and I don't have a penny left in my pocket to give her. She's just too vicious and greedy. Dead or alive disagreed, telling me that there were only two ways to choose, either I would get nothing or I would get my grandson's soul back. There is no way, I have no choice but to get back my grandson's soul first. β
The witch put the child's soul into the mirror. That's why my grandson became like thisγγγγγγ At this point, he was already in tears.
I don't hear it, this witch is so hateful, I can't sit idly by! (To be continued.) )
