Le Jing finally gave the pie to Miss Hu before the sun rose to the center.

Miss Hu is smaller than her grandmother, but still about the same height as Le Jing. She happily took the pie and invited him to come for lunch.

After walking all morning, Le Jing was already hungry, so he readily agreed to Miss Hu's invitation, but... "It may be a bit rude to say this, but my friends and I don't like eating meat very much, so can you give me Shall we prepare some fruits and vegetables?”

Miss Tiger glanced at the little bell that was nodding desperately in the air, and nodded with a smile, "Of course." She put her hands on her hips with a smile and said: "I am the most hospitable resident of the Fairy Tale Forest! I will definitely make something that will make you all happy. Satisfactory lunch!”

And lunch was as delicious as she said. A variety of delicious fresh fruits are placed on the table, and several vegetarian dishes are also delicious. Probably because Grandma Tiger is a character in Chinese folklore, the meals prepared by Miss Tiger are all Chinese dishes, which are very suitable for the stomachs of Chinese people in Lejing.

Le Jing also took this opportunity to discuss the menu and cooking tips with Miss Hu. Miss Hu's eyes lit up and she wished she could just write it down in her notes. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heated, Le Jing asked casually: "Sister Hu, do you know how to be a good child?"

He also asked Xiaolingdang, and Xiaolingdang's answer confused him, so he wanted to ask Miss Hu again.

Ms. Tiger stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth in one gulp, chewing the bone with her sharp teeth, and answered vaguely: "A child with rules is a good child."

...Exactly what little bell said.

"So what are the rules? What do you have to do to be in compliance?"

Miss Hu glanced at him: "You really don't look like a child."

She laughed hoarsely, her chest vibrated, and some meat foam spurted out from her mouth, which was met with a disgusting protest from Little Bell. Le Jing saw that Miss Hu's expression was as usual, and even the smile at the corner of her mouth had not changed much. point.

Finally, Miss Hu stopped laughing. She glanced at Le Jing and said, "It's up to you to decide." She said meaningfully, "Here, you have the final say on the rules."

...This is similar to what Little Bell said.

"So, do you know how to leave the Fairy Tale Forest?"

Miss Tiger smiled again, "How to leave?" She smiled strangely: "When you grow up, of course you will be able to leave the fairy tale forest."

"Then how can I grow up?"

"You have too many questions, child." Although Miss Hu was impatient, she still answered Le Jing's question in a rough voice: "If you are a good child who obeys the rules, then you will naturally grow up."

The boy nodded thoughtfully to Miss Tiger, smiled gratefully, and said crisply: "Thank you, sister, I understand."

Miss Tiger took a sip of the broth and glanced at the boy's face, which was reddened by the heat of the vegetable soup.

He is a smart and polite boy.

But all smart people will have a common problem of smart people, that is, they are smart.

So do you really get it?

…

When Le Jing was about to leave after eating, Miss Hu asked him to wait for a moment, and then took out a pair of...women's red leather shoes from the house?

"Thank you for bringing grandma's pie, and these shoes are for you."

Le Jing was stunned for a moment and declined politely: "Maybe these shoes don't fit me well."

"Of course you don't fit." Miss Tiger said, "Karen has always wanted a pair of beautiful red leather shoes. If you meet her, give her the shoes and she will be very happy."

Is this the story of "The Red Shoes"...

In Le Jing's view, Karen is a poor girl. She is just a girl who loves beauty and got the coveted red shoes. What's the crime for a girl to wear new shoes a few times? As a result, the angel cursed her: "You must dance in these red shoes until you turn into a skeleton!" Finally, Karen was freed by cutting off her own feet.

To be honest, even after reading The Story of Red Shoes, Le Jing didn’t understand the meaning of the story or what the truth was.

If this was an online game, then it would be an NPC that gave Le Jing important plot props. So Le Jing took the red leather shoes and tentatively put them into his personal space in front of them.

Miss Tiger and Little Bell were not surprised by the disappearance of the shoes. Le Jing thus reaffirmed his judgment.

This is a fairy tale forest, so all absurd and bizarre things are "normal" here.

After saying goodbye to Miss Tiger, Little Bell happily took him to find Peter Pan.

"Before looking for Peter Pan, can you take me to see the new adults? I'm really curious. I haven't seen any adults in the forest!" The boy raised his head and stared at him with shining eyes. , there seemed to be stars hovering inside, and such expectant eyes were enough to impress the most ruthless residents in the fairy tale forest, not to mention the always soft-hearted little bell.

Little Lingdang hesitated for a moment: "Yes, yes. It's just that those adults are evil and scary." She said worriedly: "They will hurt you!"

"It doesn't matter." The boy's eyes were crooked, and he looked at the little bell with complete trust: "I have a little bell. The little bell will protect me, right?"

Little Bell puffed up her chest proudly, feeling that she had a great responsibility, "Of course! I will protect you!" She said with a smile: "Little Bell is a good friend of children! Little Bell will only protect children!"

So under the leadership of Xiao Ling Dang, Le Jing sometimes walked on the path and sometimes walked through the dense grass. It was really hard for his young body to travel such a long distance. In the end, Xiao Ling Dang couldn't stand it and told Le Jing: " Let me teach you how to fly!"

She sprinkled her gold powder on Le Jing and said loudly: "As long as you think about some happy things in your heart, you can fly like me!"

So the next moment, something magical happened, and the music scene really started to float. After a brief feeling of weightlessness and discomfort, he was soon able to stretch his body freely in the air, as flexible as a fish swimming in the sea.

He imitated the little bell and turned around in the air, and said happily to her: "Thank you, little bell, this is my childhood dream."

Although he has been able to fly through air control for a long time, the meaning of this flight is different.

——When he was a child, he often dreamed of being able to fly out of the cramped and dark bedroom like Peter Pan and fly into the vast and magnificent world outside.

Le Jing was also able to observe the entire fairy tale forest more comprehensively.

He saw various buildings with different postures, animals walking upright, children in different clothes, and he even saw Grandma Tiger lying on the lawn basking in the sun, but she obviously did not see the joy above her head. scene.

They flew and flew in the sky, flying through the wilderness, forest, and creek, and finally landed in front of a small wooden house in a valley.

"This is Little Red Riding Hood's home. Those adults met Little Red Riding Hood first, so she will entertain them." Little Bell paused and whispered softly: "I hope they haven't been eaten by Grandma Wolf."

She signaled Le Jing to knock on the door, and soon a clear female voice came from the door: "Who is it?"

"It's me, Little Bell." Little Bell replied, "I'm bringing the new kid over to play with you."

The door creaked open, and a little blond girl wearing a red cloak and a red skirt who looked eleven or twelve years old came out. There was no doubt that she was Little Red Riding Hood.

"Come in quickly." She greeted enthusiastically: "Jin Song and I are treating the new guests to dinner! You guys can come too!"

"No, we have already eaten at Grandma Tiger's place." Little Bell replied.

Le Jing followed the little bell into the wooden house. The first thing he saw was a huge dining table and five people, including Juniper, sitting in front of the dining table.

A young man, a red-haired lady, an old foreign man, Juniper and another oriental child with black hair and eyes. Judging from where they were sitting, Le Jing could tell that Sister Yu and the child were in the same group, and the man and the old man were in the same group, and they all kept their distance from Jun Song, obviously wary of him.

It seems that these four people are illegal intruders.

After Le Jing and Xiao Ling Dang walked in, their eyes shot toward the door. Le Jing saw vigilance and evaluation in their eyes.

Le Ling's excited voice sounded in his mind: [Le Jing, I discovered an interesting thing...]

After listening to Le Ling's words, Le Jing squinted his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.

"Sister, sister." Le Jing looked up at Little Red Riding Hood without any guilt and pointed at the outsiders: "Are they illegal intruders?"

Little Red Riding Hood nodded carelessly.

"What about him?" Le Jing pointed at the black-haired boy, and at the same time received Sister Yu's nervous and wary gaze, "He is different from them, he is a child!"

"Yes." Little Red Riding Hood showed a gentle smile to the black-haired boy: "So he can stay in the Fairy Tale Forest, but others can only stay in the Fairy Tale Forest if they pass the test." Her eyes when she looked at the adults were not as gentle as before. Harmless.

The black-haired boy opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth under Sister Yu's warning eyes.

"We have finished our meal now." The young man spoke first. He had an ordinary face that is easy to forget, with black hair and black eyes. He was also an Oriental, "You should tell us what the test is, right? "

"You haven't finished your meal." Juniper held the jar and showed a sinister smile: "You haven't drunk Juniper's broth yet."

"Damn it! I told you I won't drink. Are you done yet?" The young man couldn't help but uttered a foul language.

"Why don't you drink it?" Juniper lowered his head and stood up. A clear and sweet song suddenly floated out of the jar in his arms:

"My mother cut off my head,

My father ate my flesh,

My sister buried my remains,

Under the tall juniper tree,

You can never find it again

Better broth than mine! "

He raised his head, his blue eyes turned as red as blood, and his face was as white as a ghost: "Don't you like juniper?" The shadow under him suddenly twisted, stretched, and grew larger, turning into a leafy juniper tree. Shadow, waving branches and leaves, approached the young people.

The young man stood up with an ugly face and took out a Bible from somewhere. The old man who was with him also had a few talismans in his hand, and Sister Yu held a mahogany sword in her hand. Enemy Land looked at the spreading black shadow beneath his feet.

Le Jing's eyes flashed slightly and he suddenly asked: "Sister, sister." He showed an innocent smile and looked at the three outsiders curiously: "How are you going to test them?"

His voice really eased the weird atmosphere in the room at this time. Little Red Riding Hood, who had been watching the show, finally said slowly: "Juniper, don't steal my guests, grandma will be angry if she finds out."

Grandma Wolf was undoubtedly a very lethal name for Juniper. He could only put away his snarling shadow in frustration, and stared directly at them with his cold eyes.

Little Red Riding Hood's bright red lips raised a strange arc, "Look, I have a red cloak and a red skirt, but I don't have a pair of nice red leather shoes." She stretched out her black leather shoes to the crowd and pouted. , "Only the red shoes under Karen's feet are the most beautiful in the forest. I want you to bring Karen's red shoes to me. The person who brings them to me has passed my test and can stay in the fairy tale forest~ "

The old man suddenly asked: "Is there only one pair of red shoes?"

Little Red Riding Hood showed a sly smile, "Guess?"
