Alice had only rested for half a day, and then began to make food in the kitchen of the cottage, which, in her words, was called gratitude, and although it was not necessary to be persuaded by the crowd, the little girl was terriblely stubborn in this matter.
Oliver stayed in the kitchen with her, the status of a hunter made him a little experienced in cooking, if he didn't want to eat dry food with water on weekdays, usually the young hunter was in charge, he skillfully removed the bones from the pieces of meat, and in his spare time he looked at Alice, standing on tiptoe to support the iron pot, it looked quite strenuous, but the movements were quite smooth, smelling the aroma that gradually filled the air, he had to admit that Alice's gratitude was not a whim, she was indeed very good at cooking, and should be able to eat a fairly hearty meal.
"The ......," Alice asked, hesitantly.
"Oliver. He gave his name, "Just call me Oliver." ”
Alice nodded, "Uncle Oliver." ”
Oliver would rather not have that damn suffix, which sounds harsh, and perhaps he should consider shaving his beard off for a long time and showing her white face to prove that he wasn't an uncle?
"Can you hold me a little? Alice said, "I'm a little numb in my calf. ”
Oliver walked over, but didn't know where to put his hand.
Alice probably couldn't stand still, so she put the spoon on the side of the pot for the time being, held Oliver's hand with a pair of small hands, and whispered, "Hold my waist." ”
Oliver did so, holding Alice's slender waist with both hands, almost closing it, which shows that Alice is indeed a beautiful embryo, with a snake-like graceful body.
With a little force, he lifted Alice off the ground so that her toes no longer touched the floor, which relieved her numbness and grafted all the force onto Oliver's body.
But he didn't feel any discomfort, on the contrary, he was a little surprised, Alice's body was so light that it was effortless to hold it, it was like hugging a scattered cloud.
"Hold my hand, I'm about to lose my grip. Alice said again.
Oliver did not hesitate at all, holding Alice's body with one hand, and holding Alice's small hand with the other, covering the back of her hand, the two palms of one large and one small overlapped together, and the larger hand could clearly sense the delicate skin of the small hand, they held the spoon together, stirring evenly in the large pot of boiling soup.
Oliver noticed that Alice's ears were reddening, and the color continued to spread until they were red through the earlobes.
"Yes...... Hold it tighter. Alice seemed a little embarrassed.
"What?"
"Hold on. The red of Alice's earlobe climbed to Bai Shengsheng's cheek, "I'm a little cold." ”
Oliver hugged it tighter, and even with a slight movement of his nose, he could smell the scent of Alice's hair, a smell similar to gardenia nectar, but a little sweet.
Hey...... Am I smelling this somewhere?
"Now, Uncle Oliver. Alice's voice became hoarse and low, and Oliver whispered in his ear like a blow, "I'm so scared." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'll be there for you to protect you. ”
"But I'm still scared, what if someone wants to hurt me?"
Oliver suddenly became ferocious, his eyeballs covered in bloodshots.
"Then I'll kill him!"
......
Most of them slept.
They slept in the outer hall of the cabin, while Alice slept in a small room, and in order to ensure the safety of the little girl, one of the team would stand guard outside the small room until two hours later when the companion woke up and took turns to rest.
Parker, who was on duty now, rubbed his right eye, feeling a lot of wet stuff piling up inside, and yawned a little sleepily.
"Uncle Parker, are you still there?"
He suddenly woke up from his stuckness and replied, "I'm here." ”
"I think there's something strange in the room!" Alice's voice trembled, and Parker could even imagine her shivering.
"Don't be afraid, Alice. He reassured, "No monster can hurt you under our guard, maybe you're just too sensitive, go and get some sleep and you'll be fine." ”
"There really was something in the house. She said timidly, "Can you come in and have a look?"
"This ......," Parker hesitated for a moment, but still compromised, "Okay. ”
He opened the door and saw that there was only one bed, a small table, and a little girl standing beside the bed.
"Where's the weird thing?"
"Here!" Alice gestured to the quilt on the bed.
Parker approached, flipped the quilt open, and saw that there was nothing in it by the light of the torches hanging on the wall.
"Look, I said there would be no weird things...... "He turned his head to look at Alice, his pupils constricted, and he saw in disbelief that Alice was untying the knots on the chest of her pajamas, revealing delicate skin and snow-white shoulders.
"Alice, what are you doing here?"
Alice didn't respond to his doubts, just climbed onto the bed, patted the soft bed gently, and smiled shyly: "Uncle Parker, Alice is so cold. ”
"This ......" Parker became parched and didn't know what to do.
"Uncle Parker. ”
Alice's voice came again, crispy and glutinous, like filaments stuck together.
There was a buzz in Parker's head, and he climbed into bed in a daze, staring at Alice.
"Uncle Parker, am I good-looking?"
Parker nodded hurriedly.
"So what?" she said, opening her mind a little wider.
"It couldn't be prettier!"
"Really?" Alice whispered in his ear, "what could be described as prettier than this?"
The sound of rustling, the fabric gently lapping on the ground.
"Uncle Parker. Alice said, "I'm so cold." ”
She put her feet on Parker's shoulders, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and her body trembled slightly: "I'm so cold." ”
Parker didn't have time to think about anything, he just wanted to hug Alice and warm the poor little girl.
"Uncle. Alice stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked Parker's earlobe.
Her hair began to change, and began to grow wildly, stretching like vines to the ceiling, and hanging from the ceiling, touching the back of Parker's neck, slowly piercing in, no blood spilling out, only a black mark on the skin at the back of his neck.
Parker didn't notice anything unusual, he just wanted to hug Alice.
"Meow~"
In the silence of the night, the cat was touched by the tail.
......
"You look so bad. Marjery muttered.
In fact, it wasn't just Marjery, everyone else noticed that Parker's face had turned pale, and he could even see cyan veins.
"Is there one?" said Parker.
"I think I'm in a great place right now. ”
