Chapter 355: Fairies

The story of "The Adventure of the Candy House" is very simple, Hans and Gretel are the children of a poor lumberjack family.

After the lumberjack married his second wife, the stepmother used "family poverty" as an excuse to trick her husband into abandoning her children in the forest and leaving them to starve to death.

Two children abandoned in the forest at first return home using stones as markers, but the second time, the crumbs used as markers are eaten by birds, and they are trapped in the forest and strayed into the witch's candy house.

After a battle of wits and courage, they eliminated the witch and returned home, just as the stepmother also died of illness, and the family was happily and sweetly reunited.

In fact, the core of the original fairy tale is quite dark and cruel, and some plots are also scary, but in this magical fairy tale world, "The Adventure of the Candy House" has been tampered with beyond recognition.

"Their sons and daughters were abducted?"

Leon asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I moved my family here while I was building a factory in Antimony. It's a villa, on the high ground to the east of the town. ”

Carpenter Hornburg clenched his teeth, clenched his fingers into fists, and said, "In order to prevent them from intruding, I have hired a group of security personnel to guard the residence.

Unexpectedly, yesterday evening, while my wife was taking the children to the lawn at the back of the villa for a picnic, these people sneaked over from the woodland and abducted my two children.

I formed a team overnight, led people to chase after me, and finally stopped them in this camp. ”

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Just such a person?" Didn't call official support? Searched all day to find it? ”

"Calls for backup."

The owner of the paper mill said helplessly: "But this group of people seems to have some kind of strange special ability, which can hide and hide in the forest, even if the crowd walks straight through the forest, they can't be found."

Now the other search and rescue teams are estimated to be in other parts of this vast and deep mountain. ”

He didn't finish the second half of the sentence, in fact, the leader of the Children of the Forest was an old witch on the books, a natural spellcaster with decent strength,

And the witch seems to have come from a long-standing secret organization, and some of its members are already in high positions and hold important positions in various places - which is probably why the children of the forest have been bouncing and dying for so many years.

But... Many of the sons of the forest standing here now are teenagers who have been lured away from the local area of Antimony Town (just now the local workers were tied up, also because they didn't want to kill their children and nephews).

Not all members,

More sons of the forest, the witch, and Carpenter Hornburg's abducted sons and daughters have yet to be seen.

Leon nodded and turned to look at the Sons of the Forest, "So, where is this gentleman's son and daughter now?" ”

β€œ...”

The girl was silent for a moment, how proud she was when she stood up and argued just now, and how much she wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb now, "This, I don't know much about this,

Uh, maybe you can just stand here and wait,

We are definitely not the kind of crazy villains, and I believe that the two sides can communicate and negotiate in a civilized and harmonious way, eliminate differences, and reach a consensus..."

Before the girl could finish her stammering narrative, a low, hoarse voice came from deep in the forest, "Dear Mr. Hornburg, please don't be nervous, Hans and Gretel are safe." ”

The owner of the paper mill stared at the forest with his eyes wide in an instant.

This voice... It's the leader of the Children of the Forest, the crazy old witch!

Old Dorothy!

In the midst of the dense forest, an old and decrepit old woman slowly walked out, wearing a heavy coat woven of moss, and a wreath of colorful flowers on her head.

A whitish brown wooden staff is tucked under his right armpit, and on his shoulders on either side, there are many unnamed birdsβ€”

One of them, the falcon, appeared to be suffering from severe sleep deprivation, and almost had the words "This is an eagle dying of death" on his head.

Such a traditional and diversified style is indeed very temperamental of a forest witch, but the most interesting thing is the two children who are holding her hands on the left and right.

Both children were dressed in the same costumes as the Children of the Forest, and they did bear a slight resemblance to Carpenter Hornburg.

The moment he saw the child, Carpenter exclaimed in surprise, "Hans! Gretel! That's great! ”

These two children do look a little similar to Carpenter Hornburg,

It's just that they are dressed in the same clothes as the children of the forest, with a straight face, and their expressions are depressed and silent, not like children, but like bitter and vengeful prisoners on death row, or philosophers.

Seeing that the children's faces were covered with oil paint, and their mental state was obviously wrong,

Carpenter Hornburg roared angrily at the witch, "Let go of their hands, you damned witch! You kidnapped my children and what did you do to them?! ”

He subconsciously rushed forward, and without Leon stopping him, the surrounding lumberjacks firmly grabbed him,

"I didn't do anything."

The old witch said calmly, "I didn't cast a spell to change your children's minds, nor did I pour ecstasy soup on them, they volunteered to join the children of the forest,

To be precise, I didn't kidnap them either, yesterday afternoon, it was your wife who took care of the children and let them go into the bushes behind the villa by themselves.

If I hadn't happened to pass by, they would have been eaten by the ferocious caracal by now.

When I rescued the two children, they were already seriously injured, and I had to take them to the camp for treatment.

As a result, before I could return the child or give an explanation, you had already formed a huge search and rescue team.

Shout and kill our sons of the forest.

If you want me to say, it was all a misunderstanding..."

Carpenter Hornburg didn't hear what the other was saying, he crouched down a little and opened his hands to the front: "For Her Majesty's sake, my children, you are still alive, great, come to Daddy!" ”

However, the two children did not seem to buy it, and instead of shaking off the palm of the forest witch and running straight for their father, they angrily rebuked, "Please don't call us that, you cold-blooded and ruthless forest butcher!

Ashamed to use the surname of the blood-lineage paper company Hornburg, we decided to use a new name to commemorate our new life! In this way, he made a clear break from the long eight years of his life. ”

The little boy frowned, and said seriously, "You can call me Billy, the fairy of the forest." ”

The little girl picked up, "You can call me the Spirit of the Forest. VAN。 ”

Then, in unison, the two of them said, "We will fight for the forest until we die!" ”
