readx; A few seconds after the woman's words fell, Xu Yimeng, who had been in the posture of the statue, suddenly blinked a few times with his eyes and made a "uh-uh" sound from his throat. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Yiling, who was watching this scene, suddenly let out a surprised voice: "You woke up in a dream, you really woke up!" As she spoke, she hugged Xu Yimeng's body with both hands, and tears dripped out of her eyes as if she didn't want money!
Li Yan's gaze moved away from Xu Yimeng's body, and he looked at the woman with grateful eyes: "Thank you so much!" ”
The woman smiled: "You don't have to thank me, maybe you will hate me." ”
"Hate you? Why should we hate you? A strange look appeared in Li Yan's grateful eyes, and he didn't understand the meaning of the woman's words.
The woman turned around and picked up the two remaining wooden cups on the tray, handed one of them to Li Yan and motioned for him to drink it: "After drinking it, you will know the meaning of what I just said." ”
Li Yan took the wooden cup in his right hand, looked at the green liquid in the cup for a while, and looked at the woman with a smiling expression for a while, and hesitated to appear on his face.
At this time, Xu Yimeng, who had recovered to his original state, seemed to have woken up from a dream and looked around in confusion. When she saw the surrounding arrangement, she said suspiciously: "Sister, are we back to the original world?" ”
Lu Yiling left Xu Yimeng's body, put her hands on the outside of her two arms, and said with tears on her smiling face: "We haven't returned to the original world yet." ”
"How can there be furniture and a kitchen around?"
"Have you forgotten that we were carried to a village by a group of men in gray linen clothes tied to a log, and then you seemed to be too frightened, and you didn't respond to any shouting?"
"But I don't remember it at all." Xu Yimeng looked at Lu Yiling in confusion.
"It's okay, as long as you can recover, you scared me to death just now." Lu Yiling hugged Xu Yimeng's body again, for fear that she would disappear from front of her.
Li Yan looked at the warm scene of Lu Yiling and Xu Yimeng, and a thin figure involuntarily appeared in his mind: "I don't know how you are now, I really miss you." ”
Subsequently, Lu Yiling, who hugged Xu Yimeng, seemed to realize something, and hurriedly left Xu Yimeng and said to her: "I almost forgot, you can recover all because of her, you have to thank her!" After saying that, Lu Yiling's eyes looked at the woman.
Xu Yimeng followed Lu Yiling's gaze to the woman's side, and after seeing the woman, she stood up and said politely, "Thank you for saving me." ”
"It's fine." The woman said unconcernedly, "Although you thank me now, you will hate me in a few minutes." ”
"You said we would hate you, but you didn't do anything to hurt us, so why should we hate you?" Li Yan asked the woman again.
The woman smiled mysteriously: "You will know after you drink the green water in the cup." As she spoke, the woman handed the last wooden cup to Lu Yiling and motioned for her to drink it as well.
Lu Yiling took the wooden cup in the woman's hand and drank the green water in the cup into her stomach without any hesitation. And when the green liquid passed through Lu Yiling's throat, she didn't feel any discomfort, just like drinking another glass of ordinary water.
The reason why Lu Yiling drank the liquid in the cup so neatly was because she believed that the woman would not harm them. If the woman really wanted the three of them to die here, there wouldn't have been the scene where her daughter untied them.
Li Yan saw Lu Yiling drink the liquid in the cup in one gulp, and really admired Lu Yiling's courage, "She drank it all, if I don't drink it again, it will seem like how timid I am!" Thinking of this, Li Yan did not hesitate to pour the liquid into his stomach.
After drinking, Li Yan didn't forget to lick his tongue and said, "This is no different from ordinary water, I thought it would be so unpleasant." ”
The woman took the wooden cup in the hands of Li Yan and Lu Yiling and said, "This is ordinary water, but it's just different from the water you see." ”
After the woman put the wooden cup in Xu Yimeng's hand back on the tray, Xu Yimeng's hands suddenly covered her stomach, looked at Lu Yiling weakly and said, "Sister, I'm so hungry now, do you have anything to eat?" ”
"Hungry?" A bright light flashed in Lu Yiling's mind when she heard this word. She suddenly realized something that had been ignored by them. At the same time, Lu Yiling also felt a "gurgling" sound from her stomach, and bursts of hunger slowly invaded her whole body.
At the same moment, Li Yan, who had been standing all the time, was surprised to feel that the strength in his legs was gradually disappearing. When he secretly screamed in his heart, the feeling of hunger suddenly appeared in his feelings, and he could no longer maintain a standing position, and sat on the wooden floor.
When Li Yan sat on the ground, Lu Yiling looked at the woman in disbelief: "Why are we like this, are you really poisoning us?" ”
"Don't worry, the green water itself doesn't have any toxins, it's just a little bit of a change in your body." The woman put the tray in her right hand, came to Xu Yimeng, and said in a seductive voice: "If you humans say that you are hungry, you just need to eat the food in the tray." ”
Xu Yimeng looked at the food on the tray in front of him, just like seeing food, and he couldn't wait to pick one up and stuff it into his mouth. However, Xu Yimeng, whose limbs were weak because of the arrival of hunger, didn't even have the strength to lift a hand, so he could only watch the food in the tray, and saliva was about to flow out of his mouth!
Lu Yiling, who was sitting next to Xu Yimeng, no longer felt that the food was strange and difficult to swallow after seeing the food in the tray. But she suppressed the powerful desire to eat the food, and instead looked at the woman angrily, and said weakly: "Why did we become like this, you explain it to us!" ”
"Don't be angry just yet." The woman put the tray back on the wooden coffee table, sat back on the wooden sofa opposite, looked at Lu Yiling calmly and said: "You may not have felt it when you first came to this world, you didn't feel the slightest feeling of hunger and thirst at that time, until now after drinking my green water, you have a strong hunger, and the reason for this will be explained to you." ”
The woman looked at Xu Yimeng again: "The way she looked just now actually has nothing to do with being frightened, and the more reason is that you have been in this world for too long, which has caused some strange changes in her body." Then, because she was frightened, she caused a physical abnormality in advance, so she became the same as before. ”
The woman then looked at Li Yan again: "The forest you are in now is called the Cursed Forest, and it is a cursed forest. Humans who come to the forest will not feel hungry or thirsty, and you will not perceive this. Over time, the inside of your body will gradually petrify and become what she just was. Only the green water characteristic of the forest can touch the petrified state, and it will also make you feel hunger and thirst again. ”
At this time, the woman's daughter seemed to be tired of hearing this passage, got up from the wooden sofa and came to the kitchen, and the woman's eyes swept over Li Yan, Xu Yimeng and Lu Yiling one by one, and their words did not stop.
"From the time we met you, we knew that you came out of the cave of the maggot's arm, and we also knew that you had been in a coma in the cave for at least half a month, and that the petrified state had appeared a week ago. If you don't meet us, you'll be living statues of this forest in three days' time, here forever! ”
Hearing the woman's tirade, Lu Yiling and Li Yan were shocked in place, and only Xu Yimeng's attention focused on the food on the coffee table.
The woman seemed to be very satisfied with the shocked expressions of Li Yan and Lu Yiling, she smiled casually, and continued to tell them about the forest: "In this forest, you have seen maggot arms, and they are only the lowest of all species, they are things that are eaten as meals by other high-level species, and our dwarf clan is also a low-level species. ”
Li Yan and Lu Yiling didn't hear the last words of the woman, they were all shocked by the previous words! The two of them couldn't imagine that the maggot arm that could easily kill them was actually the lowest species in this forest, and if that high-level species appeared in front of them, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape!
Li Yan and Lu Yiling, who were in shock, seemed to have forgotten the hunger in their stomachs, and several huge monsters appeared out of thin air in their minds walking towards them, and a momentum of destroying the world emanated from the bodies of those monsters!
Li Yan and Lu Yiling were frightened by the monster that appeared in their minds at the same time, and even their bodies couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, the girl who came out of the kitchen saw the frightened expressions on the faces of the two of them, and said with a contemptuous look: "I didn't expect you to be so timid, and you were scared like this before you saw the advanced species, so how will you survive in this forest in the future." ”
"Can't be rude!" The woman immediately looked at the girl, and said with reproach in her eyes: "After all, they have just come here, and when they become familiar with the environment here, even if they encounter advanced species, I believe they can deal with it calmly." ”
"I hope so." The girl sighed with a mature attitude, and then walked over to one of the two wooden doors to open and enter.
At this moment, Lu Yiling suddenly exclaimed, and then the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded immediately!
"Yimeng, are you okay?"
It turned out that when the girl returned to her bedroom, Xu Yimeng couldn't bear the hunger in her stomach and tried her best to get close to the tray on the coffee table. However, she eventually lost to her own powerlessness and fell to the ground in front of the wooden sofa.
The woman immediately came to Xu Yimeng's side, helped her to the wooden sofa, looked at Lu Yiling apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, forget that you are still hungry, you should eat quickly." ”
The woman then distributed the food in the tray to Li Yan and the three of them, and watched the three of them gobble up the food in their respective hands, with a motherly smile on their faces!
