I didn't turn to stone today (42)

But his daughter was ignorant, and he could only sigh.

"Alright, you go cook."

Seeing Zaya enter the kitchen, Laurie turned back to the house and walked straight to the bed in the side room.

The man on the bed was reading a book by the window, and he was elegant with glasses, and Laurie could see that the doctor named Pelly was a good man.

"That man came to you just now, why did you let Zaya lie to him?"

Seeing the village chief coming, Paley struggled to get up, but Laurie pushed him back.

"You have a good rest, when you are better, I will send you to the army in the town, and in half a month those soldiers will gather and go to the northern battlefield."

Pelly thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you really for your help, don't worry, I won't cause you any more trouble. I just heard a conversation outside, I do know the man, but he's not my friend......"

At this point, Paley was silent, as if he didn't know whether to go on or not.

But he knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, Laurie would definitely keep minding it.

"There was a terrible man standing outside the door just now. He lived in an old castle in the forest, and that day I got lost in the forest, and I knocked on the door of the castle, and at first the man was gentle and polite, and he was a gentleman, but then he sent me into the depths of the forest, and let the snake bite me...... He wanted to kill me, so I didn't answer when I heard the sound just now. ”

As if recalling something terrible, Paley's face turned pale.

And Laurie, who had been sitting quietly next to him, asked.

"The castle? What Kasbah? ”

"At that time, it was a dark castle, very tall, like a giant standing in the forest, and the decoration inside the castle was very simple and old, and it looked ...... It seems like it has been used for hundreds of years, but in retrospect, it feels weird, why would anyone live in the forest? ”

"And how do you remember how you came across that castle that day?"

Pelly looked puzzled, he didn't know why Chief Laurie was so interested in the castle in the forest, but he still thought about it.

"I got lost that day, and it was very dark in the forest, and I came across it by chance."

Lauri's complexion was dull, even a little gray.

"Well, you go ahead and rest, I still have some things to deal with."

After saying that, Laurie got up and left, his back in a hurry, as if he was in such a hurry.

As soon as he left, Zaya quietly stood under the window and shouted at him.

"What did my dad say to you?"

"It's nothing, just asked about my body."

"You lied to me too, I'm not stupid, did he ask you what your relationship is with that man?"

Zaya is well protected, but a little overprotective, and her words and deeds are full of childlike innocence.

She speaks and does things simply, and she is a very clean girl.

"If you don't say it, I'll ask my father."

"Zaya ......"

The girl has gone far.

She followed Laurie all the way deeper into the village, and then watched as her father came to a low thatched hut and stooped in.

Zaya was curious.

There is a witch god mother-in-law living there, why did Dad go to her?

Out of curiosity, she circled the hut and finally crouched under the window, listening to the conversation coming from inside.

Some are not clear, but I can understand some key words.

"The old castle, the black old castle...... As written, it will be ......"

“…… The race is dead...... It is also possible ...... Remnant. ”
