An old woman in a linen coarse cloth and hunched over opened the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

She raised her head, glanced at Master Mumouder with a cloudy gaze, and smiled very kindly on her wrinkled face, "You brought a guest?"

Master Mumouder laughed and took out a gold coin from his purse, "Yes, old woman. I haven't been back for a few years, so I'm going to stop by you for one night this time. Yes, this is the accommodation fee. ”

The old woman accepted the money and warmly welcomed William and the others into the wooden house.

The first floor of the chalet was very empty, with only an old wooden table, a few benches, two or three empty rooms, a few windows and a staircase.

"Where's your little granddaughter, old woman?" asked Master Mumouder as he sat down on two stools stacked on top of each other.

The old woman sighed, turned upstairs and said, "Dead, dead again." My poor little granddaughters, they are always in bad fate. ”

When Master Mumouder heard this, he smiled awkwardly and asked no more.

Presumably even he is used to it.

For a while, it was very boring.

Mumudr took out the pen and paper he had brought with him, spread it on the table, and wrote and drawn, as if to outline the outline of the city on the sea.

William occasionally exchanged a few words with him.

Sumera's eyes glanced at the second floor, intentionally or unintentionally, her willow eyebrows tightened, and she looked preoccupied.

She wanted to go up to the second floor to help the old woman and make dinner together, but before she could go upstairs, she was directly rejected by the old woman.

Soon, everyone's dinner was ready.

The old woman carried the food on a wooden tray and walked down: three bowls of slimy mung bean paste, plus a piece of dry black bread and four glasses of water.

The mung bean paste was very bad, and I don't know how long ago it was food, William faintly smelled a musty smell from it, and hurriedly ate a few bites, and then stopped eating.

It's the same with Sumera.

But it was Master Mumouder, who ate very happily, and he solved the two bowls of mung bean paste that William and Sumera did not eat.

Filling her stomach, the old woman specially selected three of the best rooms and left them for William and the three to live in.

Master Mumudar is grinning and uninhibited. He said goodnight, walked into the room, and fell asleep.

Sumera, however, had no intention of sleeping.

In the middle of the night, she sneaked to William's room, and with William, ate the jerky taken out of the magic ring, "Tell you something about the old woman, don't be scared!"

At this time, William was tearing the jerky in his hands.

He tore off a small piece and brought it to Sumera's mouth. Sumera opened her mouth to eat, but William quickly put the jerky into his mouth to eat, chewed carefully, teased Sumera and said, "Say, I won't be scared." ”

Sumera glanced at William with resentment, "I'm down to business. That old woman is a dead man!"

When William heard this, he was stunned.

Sumera had a hint of smugness on her face, "She was covered in the juice of the weasel grass all over her body. If she's not dead, why would she put this on herself?"

William looked dazed.

"Weasel sap is the highest grade of preservative water, which is very rare and precious. You're not an alchemist, you're not a necromancer, you haven't handled corpses, and you've never touched a weasel, so of course you can't smell it. ”

Sumera explained, "If you don't believe me, let's go up to the second floor together?"

"Everyone has their own secrets. The old woman didn't hurt us, why are you going to expose people?" said William disapprovingly.

"If you don't go, forget it, I'll go!"

Sumera said, snatching the jerky from William's hand and going out.

William sighed, "Wait for me, I'll go too." ”

When Sumera heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

The two crept up to the second floor and immediately saw three rooms.

A kitchen, a bedroom for sleeping, and a small warehouse filled with planks, buckets, broken stools, and all sorts of miscellaneous items.

It was late at night, and the surroundings were so dark that I couldn't see clearly.

The bedroom door was gently pushed open, and a yellow candle shone through the crack in the door.

Sumera and William's heads collided, and they peered through the crack in the door to see inside the cabin.

The old woman was sitting on a small stool, facing an hourglass on the demented dresser, motionless.

The hourglass, which is used to calculate time, is very common in civilian homes. A nobleman like William used a more advanced pendulum clock at home, and when the time came, it could still ring a few times.

At this moment, on the dresser, the sand in the hourglass is about to leak to the bottom layer, which means that the day is about to pass.

William immediately saw the unbelievable.

The old woman's hair gradually turned white, and it grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In less than a minute, the short black hair turned into long white hair, and the long hair dragged to the ground.

"Woooooo

A weak and helpless whimper suddenly came from the other side.

Despite William's curiosity, he couldn't see where he was, which was obscured by a large wooden cabinet.

"My dear little granddaughter, don't be afraid, your mother-in-law won't hurt you. ”

The old woman sighed lightly and said without replying.

Then, she turned a deaf ear to the whimpering sound coming from beside her, and concentrated on holding scissors and trimming her long hair in the large bronze mirror on the dresser.

The hair is very long, just cut a stubble, and a new stubble grows quickly.

It's as if it can't be cut anyway.

Five minutes later, the old woman's gray hair stopped growing.

She pulled open the drawer of the dresser, took out a wooden box filled with a black gooey substance, and began to dye her hair.

The old woman is experienced and skillful in her movements. When all her white hair was dyed black, she finally got up and walked in the direction where the whimper had come.

William also saw her side face because of this.

Unlike when we had dinner together in the evening, when the old woman was very thin and always had a little flesh on her face, now she is completely skinny and skinny.

It's like a skull in human skin!

William's brow furrowed.

Just as he hesitated to enter the room to find out, Sumera went straight to the door and sneaked in.

William was startled and hurried to follow.

The old woman's bedroom was not large, and on the other side of the dresser, there was a large wardrobe.

A whimper came from inside the closet.

The old woman didn't notice that there were already two more uninvited guests behind her. She turned her back to William and opened the closet.

A delicate-looking girl with two lines of tears on her face, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, was hidden in the closet. Her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was still stuffed with cloth, crying like a tearful person, pitiful.

As soon as she saw the old woman approaching her, the girl's frightened whole body curled up into a ball, trembling, and struggling uneasily in the closet.

"My dear little granddaughter, my mother-in-law likes you the most. Don't be afraid, my mother-in-law will be very light, very light~~"

The old woman muttered, and suddenly reached out and pinched the girl's chin, and forcibly pressed her head. In addition to making it unable to move, the girl's white snow neck was also exposed.

The girl's neck was covered with tiny wounds, as if they had been pricked by needles.

There was a hint of frenzy in the old woman's eyes, and she opened her lips, revealing her sharp teeth, and wanted to bite down.
