When Roccol woke up, she found herself lying on a small shabby bed. The stove was burning with charcoal, sizzling. The only kerosene lamp was dim, and the faint glow of the fire groaned in the dying shade. There was also a broken table, a broken chair, and a few patches on the door, creaking in the wind.

"I'm dizzy." There was a musty smell around her, and she rubbed her temples. Only then did I remember that I had fainted in a strange wood. The moment before fainting, I saw a very terrifying scene.

After a while, the door opened. The speed was very slow, accompanied by a cool breeze blowing in.

The creaking sound of the door is terrifying. And I don't know who walked in, Rochard shrank in the corner in fright, but her heart was ready to resist.

The first thing that caught my eye was a corner of the tattered clothes, and then, the whole torn body wrapped in the body thinner than firewood, walked in. It turned out to be the old man holding the lamp. Due to the old man's ragged clothes and bleak expression, Roccol could no longer recognize the old man's gender.

Originally, she was a little defensive in her heart, but seeing the old man's kind eyes and a piece of cake on the table, her heart was a little more steady.

Strange to say, at that time, when the old man took the strange lamp and led the terrible and poor girl, and stood in the dead forest, the scene was very terrifying. But now, in this down-and-out but heartwarming scene, the old man looks kind and unusually sympathetic.

I'm afraid that little girl is the granddaughter of the old man, it's really pitiful, I don't know what kind of changes their family has experienced.

"Girl, are you awake? Just now, I fainted outside my house. As he spoke, the old man found a candle and lit it, "We usually only light kerosene lamps." I'm afraid you won't be used to the light here. Come, shine a light on you. ”

The old man's voice was faint, like a kerosene lamp.

"Excuse me, why is this happening here? Did something terrible happen? Roccol asked cautiously.

The old man propped his ears and tried to amplify his voice, but his voice was still hoarse and small: "What? I can't hear clearly. ”

Roccolus asked aloud, but the old man still didn't know what she had said.

So she put her mouth to the old man's ear: "Old man, I want to know, what happened here to become like this?" ”

The old man finally understood: "Alas, it is evil. Someone must have done something wrong. ”

"Then who made what iniquity?"

"Oh, I don't know, I don't know." The old man waved his hand again and again.

As he spoke, the old man picked up the bread and handed it to Roccore: "Little girl, eat some." My daughter-in-law has gone to get a new bread and will be back early tomorrow morning. I brought a lot of bread, enough to eat for a year. ”

"No, I'm full right now." Seeing such a miserable situation for this family, Roccola must not want to take away their food anymore. Although my stomach was growling with hunger, I held back.

The old man sat in a small chair and grinded the piece of bread with the few teeth he had left.

"By the way, old man, where was the little girl next to you last night?"

When the old man heard this, his face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he threw the bread to the ground: "What? There are no little girls in our family. No, no. You must be reading it wrong. ”

Locke was hungry to see the old man so frightened, and hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, maybe I was wrong, maybe it's a dream." ”

She looked around again, trying to spot the horrible red light. However, in this room with a corner in sight, there was really no light in sight.

Strange, the old man doesn't look like he's lying. So what's going on with the previous horror monsters?

The old man shuddered and picked up the food on the ground and began to nibble again.

Luo Keer looked sad: "In your family, apart from you and your daughter-in-law, is there anyone else?" ”

"My son went to work outside."

"Are there any other residents in this village?" When Luo Keer asked, he was obviously not confident.

"What, I can't hear clearly."

"In this village, apart from your family, are there any other families?"

"Yes, there are hundreds of families in our village."

Roccol was a little relieved.

"Do you all survive by receiving bread?"

"yes, someone brings us bread on a regular basis."

"Why did she bring you bread?"

"Not only to deliver bread, but also to recruit apprentices."

When it comes to these, the old man is beautiful, but he can't seem to say why.

Look at this cake, the color is ugly, and it has been sitting for a long time.

Roccol vaguely felt that there must be something inside this village. She wanted to help the people here, but there was nothing she could do at the moment. And she is in that world where there is Tianhai No. 1 Middle School, and there are still many things to do that need to go back.

She thought that as long as she asked the man in black, she would definitely know how to come here again. The Man in Black's goal is to save the world, and if I beg him, he won't let it go. She thought.

"That's it, old man, I still have something to do, go back first."

"Do you know the road?" The old man kept his eyes as wide as he could, and the food scraps in his mouth hung on his lips.

"I know the road, old man. I'll probably come back later. Roccol smiled and waved, pushed the door open and walked out.

She deliberately walked a little longer. When he arrived at the place where he was sure that the old man would not see it, he recited the incantation and returned to the door of Luo's house.

However, instead of going in, she ran to the crossroads, formed tubes with her hands, put them in front of her mouth, and shouted: "Come out, I have something to look for you!" ”

With a thick fog, the man in black appeared.

"What's the matter with you?"

"In the afternoon, my mantra was disturbed, and I went to a strange forest. I felt like people there needed help, and I always felt like there was something going on. I would like to be able to survey there once in a while, please tell me the spell of my return. ”

"But I don't know what forest you're talking about." The man in black said helplessly.

"You are so powerful, how can you not know it." Roccol began to get anxious.

"If I really had that great powers, I wouldn't have sent you to that world to help me accomplish my goal. Moreover, I can't worry about one world, and I really don't have the energy to care about other worlds. ”

"Aren't you dreaming of saving the world?"

"Alas, the heart is more than enough, but the strength is insufficient."

"You can find a few more people like me, and we'll help you together."

The man in black shook his head: "I can only look for you, because I only know your secrets." So far, I've only found you as someone I can use to my advantage. ”

"Well, what can I do?" Luo Keer covered her head, and felt sad when she thought of the old man eating bread.

"It's up to you." The man in black finished speaking and left.

"Oh, you're so annoying, why do you always act like a god when you're not so good......," Roccol grumbled.

Forget it, let's go home. Take your time and figure it out.

It was ten o'clock now, and she didn't say hello to anyone in the family except her brother Luo Xiao. As for why he said hello to Luo Xiao, it was because he was in his room and was having fun with the kitten.

At this time, the kitten was holding a lollipop in his mouth and listening to Luo Xiao's story.

Roccol sat down on the carpet and listened along.

“…… Finally the princess said, 'If you can turn that frog away, I will marry you.' ’

However, after the magic donkey turned the frog away, he did not win the favor of the princess.

'My esteemed princess, what more do you want?' As long as I can do it, I will do it for you. Said the magic donkey.

The princess raised her head proudly: 'Well, you give me the sweetest candy in the world.' ’”

As he spoke, the kitten fell asleep in Luo Xiao's arms.

Luo Xiao took out the lollipop in his mouth and carried the little body to the cradle bed specially prepared for him.

The cot is delicate and aromatic, with lavender sachets hanging from it.

"You bought it?" Roccol pointed to the cradle bed.

"Let's make it new in our factory."

"You've thought so well."

"I can't always let you sleep on the carpet. Although our carpet is soft and warm, it can't compare to the bed. ”

"Hehe, kittens are so fragile. I don't sleep honestly, I'm afraid I'll crush the kitten. Roccol was a little embarrassed.

"Kitten misses you today." He whispered to Rocques, helping the kitten to pinch the quilt by the way.

"I miss him too." Luo Keer looked at the poor child with a smile, "Brother don't give him lollipops in the future, he is still young and prone to danger." ”

"I look at it, where is the danger. Where have you been today? ”

"Well, it's just that I was crazy out there and forgot to come back."

"Crazy to play...... Then I'll go back first, and you go to bed early. Luo Xiao put his hands in his trouser pockets and stood still.

Luo Keer was puzzled: "What's wrong with my brother today?" How is it weird? ”

"Yes, it's been weird since the day you showed up at the door. So I guessed that when you go out every day, there must be some ulterior secret. I'm never going to interfere with you, but I hope you'll come back soon. Lest I be worried. Luo Xiao stood, his eyes covered by the broken hair on his forehead, making it impossible to see his eyes.

Roccol sat there in a daze, startled by her brother's sudden anger. She hurriedly looked at the kitten, and she was relieved to see that the kitten was still asleep.

"I'm glad my brother was able to treat me like his own sister......" She lowered her head and rubbed her hands together in each other.

Of course, she realized that today's incident had brought a lot of worries to the Luo family, although it was not her fault, but she was not the biological lady of the Luo family after all. Since the Luo family is so affectionate to her, she must not be so ignorant anymore.

Luo Xiao didn't reply to her. Instead, he sighed softly, opened the door, and walked out.

"It's really strange, not only did I go to a strange village, but my brother's attitude was also very strange. It's just worrying, why is it so atmospheric? However, then again, my brother is so gentle even when he is angry. The former owner of this house was really happy and unlucky. has such a good family, but there is no blessing. ”

After changing into pajamas, Luo Keer picked up her mobile phone, only to see that there were thirty-nine missed calls on it, all of which were from Luo Xiao, as well as a string of text messages. Most of my mobile phones reply gibberish.

"Alas, maybe the signal in that place is not normal, the phone has no ringtone, and the replies are all random." Luo Keer's well-groomed eyebrows condensed into twists, "No wonder my brother is angry, he must be worried about it." ”
