Chapter 66: Fairy Tale Forest (12) Cloak
I bent down and pressed the position of my stomach until the withdrawal of my stomach slowly subsided, then I stood up, gasped slightly, and turned to go back to the others.
When he turned around, he saw that everyone had gathered around the fire.
Yu Pu stood beside Lin Ya with Little Red Riding Hood, still expressionless, sensing my gaze and turned to look at me.
Fang Ruoxi took Liu Chang to stand on the edge of the fire as if he was observing the werewolf that was burning, the air was full of the smell of burning hair, so I couldn't help but raise my hand to cover my nose, but I smelled the fishy smell on my hand again, and then I remembered what this hand had stained before, and hurriedly took it away from my nose, holding my arm around my abdomen and pressing my stomach to stop it from convulsing again.
Chen Si stood beside Wolf Tooth and said something to him, Qu Ying stood beside Chen Si with a reluctant and helpless expression, but Wolf Tooth ignored her at all, kept staring in the direction of my side, and walked towards me when he saw that I was better.
"How?" Wolf Fang stood in front of me and looked down at me.
I subconsciously looked at his hands, the knife was no longer in his hands, which made me breathe a sigh of relief, shook my head and replied, "It's okay." β
Wolf Fang nodded and didn't ask, but looking at his appearance, I think he had guessed why I was vomiting, but this is also a kind of psychological disorder after all, and he is obviously not a person who can enlighten people. However, I thought he was just here to care about me, but I didn't expect him to say something like "Be careful in the future, don't come back to help." β
"Help?" I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but feel angry, "You say I'm doing me a disservice?" Did I do that a disservice by lighting that fire? β
"Even without your fire, I can take care of the werewolves. And if you hadn't lit that fire, you wouldn't have been in the same situation as before. Wolf Fang frowned slightly, and there was some impatience in his voice, "You just need to take care of your own safety, you don't need to worry about my safety." β
I looked at the wolf's tooth on this unbeaten expression, and I wanted to go up and slap him, what did he mean by that? Am I a useless burden?
I took a deep breath and said as calmly as I could, "Then please tell me next time that you don't need help, so that I don't have to worry like a fool that you won't be able to cope and look around for a solution." β
After saying that, I was ready to bypass the wolf's fangs and break away from this two-person conversation, he really can't spit out ivory from the wolf's mouth, and when he doesn't speak, it's much cuter than when he speaks.
"I'm not done yet." Clearly, however, some people didn't want me to end the conversation in peace, "You remember it for me, I repeat, just take care of your own safety, you don't need to worry about my safety." I said that if I don't die, you won't die, for me, your life is more important than mine, don't joke with your life. β
"Are you kidding, you think I'm kidding with my own life?" I raised my eyes to look at Wolf Fang's frowning expression, and laughed angrily, "In your eyes, my life is more important than your life because I have a use value for you, but for me, you don't have that value for me, so in my eyes, your life is not as important as mine, you are nothing special to me, and your life is not precious enough for me to joke with my life." β
"It's my negligence, it's my accident, it's my underestimation of my abilities, it's my lack of vigilance, but that doesn't mean you're of any particular value to me. Your life, Lin Ya's life, or other people's lives are the same in my eyes, it is a human life, and it is the value of life itself, not because there is any value on it. You won't understand that, because we're not all the way. β
"Most importantly, do you think I don't know how to help youβyou want to say it's okay to make troubleβdo you think I don't know it's dangerous? I knew very well, but I chose to do it anyway. My life is my own, I don't care how important my life is to you, it's my own life, I decide what I use it for, and you don't have the right to decide what I should do and what I shouldn't do. β
Seeing that Wolf Fang was about to speak, I preemptively raised my voice to stop his words from coming out - this is also something I learned from him, "Besides, you should know very well that if you and Lin Ya die, the rest of us, me, Yu Pu, and those four people, we will all be in the same dangerous situation." And the reason why I am the only one to think about how to help you, and only I to light that fire, is because I am the only one, who cares about your life or death. β
After speaking, without waiting for the wolf tooth to reply, I shook my hand and broke free from his holding hand, bypassed him and walked towards the forest cliff. Seriously, I don't want anything to thank him or anything, after all, we are companions here, and there is no way for one person to survive here, and only with the help of the power of companions can we escape from this hellish place.
I know this very well, so I am grateful for the help that people have given me, and I understand that helping others is also helping myself. Because of that, I don't expect to be thanked or anything, but at least, I don't think I deserve to be reprimanded. Everything I do can be my rightful obligation, but that's definitely not why I'm blamed.
I was so refreshed after venting at the wolf's teeth that I even felt like I was breathing a lot easier.
When he walked to Lin Ya, he saw Little Red Riding Hood standing silently, looking at the collapsed and burning hut over there. I'm sorry for her when I think about it, her grandmother tightrope, we destroyed everyone's home, but on the other hand, we killed the werewolf, and we helped her grandmother get revenge
I was about to say something to Little Red Riding Hood to comfort her, when I saw a hand reach out to me.
"Lighters."
Hearing this voice, I looked at the hand, and sure enough, it was Yu Pu's expressionless face, as if everything that had just happened to him could not trigger the slightest emotion in him, whether it was sadness, panic, nervousness or any other emotion, there was no emotion at all.
Speechlessly, I took his lighter out of the pocket of my pants and put it back in his hand, watching him put it away and turn his head to look elsewhere, which direction it should be looking at the wolf's teeth.
"Are you alright, Mo Li?"
Lin Ya's words came with concern, and I smiled when I looked at his worried eyes.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Looking at Lin Ya's relieved expression, I felt a warmth in my heart, and after smiling back again, I squatted down and looked at Little Red Riding Hood, thinking about how to speak.
"I'm fine, sister, you don't have to worry about me." Before I could speak, Little Red Riding Hood spoke to me first, her immature little round face with baby fat, showing a distressing smile, her two big eyes were full of tears, tears slowly accumulated, and finally dripped from her eyes, staining her long eyelashes, "Grandma and grandma just went to heaven, I'm not sad, really." β
Seeing Little Red Riding Hood smiling with tears in her eyes, I couldn't help but have a sour nose, blinked to suppress my tears, didn't know what to say, just gave her a hug.
Little Red Riding Hood buried her little face in my neck, and I could feel that she was trembling and sobbing slightly, and the warm tears dripped down my neck, rolling down my neck into my clothes, obviously only slightly warm, but it made me feel a burning temperature, as if to burn my skin.
She sobbed for a while and then withdrew from my arms, rubbing her own eyes, I couldn't bear to raise my hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks, looking at her red rabbit eyes, I could only sigh in my heart.
Is such a real and vivid little girl really created by the consciousness of the earth? But what is the difference between such a flesh-and-blood, sentient and emotional individual and a real human being? If we have to say that there is, then only their generation is involuntary, what they need to experience is set, they have no choice, they can only follow the prescribed route, because they themselves are created to complete the prescribed setting.
Perhaps compared to them, the only advantage we have over us real human beings is that we have the right to be able to determine our own destiny, but if they don't know that their destiny is set, how can we be sure that every step we take, every choice we make, is not set a long time ago?
I didn't dare to think about it any longer, so I bit my lip hard to interrupt my terrible real assumption, and drew my attention back to Little Red Riding Hood in front of me.
"Sister, you need my hat, I'll give it to you." Little Red Riding Hood was still gasping slightly from the cry she had just had, and as she spoke, she untied her cloak and handed me the whole cloak, "Follow this path all the way, and you will be the Wall of Thorns, and with this, the wall will open, and you will be able to pass." β
Is this the first level cleared? I silently took the cloak she handed me, which, I remember, she had said was left to her by her grandmother, so it was also very important to Little Red Riding Hood,,, right?
Looking at Little Red Riding Hood's obvious reluctance and can't help but be like this, I have a new conjecture. Maybe giving this cloak to the person who killed the werewolf is one of the settings of Little Red Riding Hood, even if she is reluctant, even if the cloak is very important to her, she can't go against it. And at the same time, in order to keep going, in order to get out of this room, I can't say things like "I don't want this cloak, I'll leave it to you", because I want to live too.
So, if it's a foregone conclusion that I'm going to take her cloak, what's the point of being polite? It's just that she has no resistance to confirm the departure of her beloved and hurt again. Little Red Riding Hood doesn't need this kind of false politeness, and I can't say it.
I could only hug the little girl again and smile "Thank you." β
I don't know what else I can say other than thank you. The rejection was too difficult, the prevarication was too false, and the only thing I could say was a thank you, and even this thank you was pale.
Little Red Riding Hood shook her head, and I realized that she was originally wearing two braids, one left and one right, but I didn't notice it hidden in the cloak before.
I reached out and touched her head, the child's hair was soft and thin, like the finest down, so soft that it seemed to melt the fingertips, and I pulled the end and rubbed it gently with my fingertips, one by one through the lines on the fingertips, with a slight itch.
"Sister, let's give you a beautiful haircut again."
