Gretel looked down at her shoes and didn't speak.

But the old woman was still angry, and suddenly shouted loudly, "Gretel, Gretel......"

"Mentor, I'm here!" Gretel replied with a blank face.

But the old woman couldn't see clearly.

She just said, "Take me to see your lovely brother Hansel!" After eating so many things, I should have fattened up a lot during this time. It's almost ready to eat. ”

"Since the frog is gone, let's eat it. Gretel, you're going to love the taste. ”

"Ah, let me think, what kind of animal would it be good to turn him into? Lamb? Is it a suckling pig, or a calf? It's hard to decide......"

The old woman said cannibalism lightly, but Gretel's expression became more and more angry, and there was a look of worry in her eyes.

She interrupted the old woman's conjecture and said, "Mentor, Hansel has been refusing to eat during the days when he was locked up, and now not only is he not fat, but he has also lost a lot of weight, and the whole person is dying, and he may die at any time. ”

"Those who die are not fresh." The old woman said to herself when she heard this, and then she glared at Gretel with scarlet eyes, "Are you lying to me?" Is it because he's your brother? Gretel, I've told you many times that we're not the same as ordinary people......"

"It's true! If you don't believe me, you can go over and have a look! Gretel's face was particularly impatient, but his tone was very respectful and a little aggrieved.

Sure enough, every woman is a self-taught acting school.

The old woman thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I just want to go and see it too." ”

With that, he let Gretel lead the way, and the two came to the backyard.

There was a small pony stable in the backyard, fenced off with an iron fence, and inside there was a long black shadow.

The Black Shadow is none other than Gretel's captured brother Hansel.

The old woman walked to the stable and ordered in a cold, sharp voice, she had no patience with Hansel, "Hansel, stretch out your finger and let me touch you to get fat?" ”

A rough finger carved out of a slender bone stretched out.

In such a dark night, the old woman's eyesight was even worse, and her scarlet eyes could only see vague shadows.

She touched her hands as cold as a viper, and all she felt was that Hansel was as thin as skin to bone.

The old woman suddenly withdrew her palm in disappointment, "How can you eat so thin?" ”

She looked at Gretel and asked, "Gretel, did you eat all the candy and food that you give him every day?" ”

"Didn't I tell you? Can you just eat the crab powder I gave you? For the rest of the stuff, just eat it. That crab powder is no ordinary thing, and it is very beneficial to your mana. The old woman said softly.

Gretel had no choice but to say yes again and again.

Although the old woman seemed to be very nice to her now, and really regarded her as a heir to the mantle, Gretel will never forget the way she looked at her like food when she first came over with Hansel.

If it weren't for the discovery of her magical talent by the old woman later, maybe the two of them would only meet in the old witch's belly now.

Gretel knows very well that the reason why she can get this treatment is nothing more than that the old woman wants to rely on her to reorganize the candy house, thinking that the candy house has the hope of making a comeback in the hands of Gretel.

Gretel once heard the old woman say that the candy hut used to be very prosperous, but unfortunately, several witches would fight for the treasures of the candy hut, especially a freely movable Ruyi cloak, and there was a tragic war.

As a result of the war, a witch escaped with a cloak of wishes, and she was given two other treasures, a wand and a flute, but at the cost of irreparable damage to her eyes, leaving her half-blind forever.

As for the other witches in the Candy House, they all died in the war.

There are no winners in war.

Now, only the old woman guards the empty candy hut, and the cloak of Ruyi falls into William's hands.

Things are so impermanent!

"Mentor, I've been eating the crab powder you gave, and as for Hansel's food, I've never touched it." Gretel's eyes were actually full of hatred when she looked at the old woman, but her tone was very calm.

"Oh, in that case, let's feed it for a while." The old woman said conclusively.

The dark shadow in the small stable secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, his figure was in a place of light and shadow, blurred, only a pair of sky-blue eyes, revealed, looking at Gretel.

Gretel also nodded at him, cheering him up with his eyes, and the two exchanged eyes with each other silently.

At this time, the old woman walked to the front yard without looking back.

Gretel had no choice but to give Hansel an encouraging look, and then followed the old woman back.

In the candy hut, Gretel and the old woman were relatively silent, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Greta thought for a moment and asked, "Mentor, ...... frog?"

"Don't ask, that's not something you should be concerned about! Greta, you should accumulate your magic power, as long as your magic is strong, there is nothing in the world that bothers you. ”

"Yes, Mentor." Gretel said, but in her heart she put the matter even deeper.

"Go ahead and get some rest! There's more important things waiting for you tomorrow! The old woman said.

"Okay, Mentor."

If you didn't know the cause and effect, when you saw this scene, you really thought it was the filial piety of the father and the son!

"It's been a week, my lordship, but we still haven't found the one you mentioned, Her Royal Highness the princess who loves to lose the golden ball."

"Your Excellency, you're not kidding us, are you?"

"Although the Duchy of Salz is only a small country, the Hasma family is not a big family with a permanent or famous history on the mainland, and the only quality that can be praised is to the death!"

Henry, a loyal guard, walked around the room and said to William.

"My lord, could there be something wrong with your information! Why do people always become frogs? With this spare time, why not just kill our prince? ”

Henry said about the doubts in the case.

"You may have misunderstood, the Hasma family, which started in business, is not under my name in the mainland, and even surpasses me!" William's eyes were closed, never open.

"And my intelligence is absolutely accurate!"

"Your mission is not to complain to me here, but to continue to investigate!"
