Chapter 147 A Wild Meal
Along with an earth-shaking explosion, a huge ball of fireworks rose into the sky from the dark forest. The light and heat were soon swallowed up by the endless darkness in the forest, but the impact it brought was enough to stop the howling of wolves in the forest for a moment.
Yu Sheng knew that after that, the wolf howls would soon resume, the forest would heal quickly, and the Black Forest would continue to operate according to its own script and its own rules. The "source" of dreams hiding behind the stage would continue to whisper in the nightmare it had woven - just let it whisper, he didn't care about it now.
Yu Sheng had already brought Hu Li through the door and returned to the valley.
"I just saw a big commotion through the door!" Irene immediately ran over, grabbed Yu Sheng's pants and climbed up, muttering as she climbed, "You guys are not going to start a forest fire, are you?"
"It would be great if it could really catch fire, but unfortunately, that little bit of fire is far from enough to ignite a black forest," Yu Sheng said casually while supporting the little puppet. "Don't worry, it's not time to launch a general attack on the black forest yet. I haven't found the thing hiding behind the stage yet... But it will be soon, very soon."
Hu Li came over and tugged at Yu Sheng's sleeve, looking a little embarrassed: "My benefactor, I'm a little hungry. When can we go home for dinner?"
Yu Sheng was still immersed in his plan for the Black Forest "Cyber Fox Fairy Beats Up Children's Literature". When he heard Hu Li's reminder, he quickly took out his phone and took a look: "Oh, it's almost time for dinner. There's not even a change in the sky here. I accidentally forgot the time..."
"Ah, you're not going to do other experiments?" Irene said curiously while sitting on Yu Sheng's shoulder. "Didn't you say that opening the door to the Black Forest was just the first test?"
Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, rubbing his forehead, and sighed after a moment: "I originally wanted to try to build a door that can be continuously opened without my personal maintenance, but it turns out that I'll do it next time - the failures of opening the door to the Black Forest have made me dizzy, so I won't bother today."
Irene was immediately moved: "It's rare that you get tired of all the hard work."
Yu Sheng ignored the puppet on his shoulder, but took out his phone and dialed Baili Qing's number: "...Yes, it's me. I've finished the experiment here. Thank you for your hard work on duty... Well, I'll still tell you in advance next time I do it. By the way, there may be one or two more signals later. That's the sound of me opening the door and going home. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. Bye."
Irene looked at him in shock: "You are becoming more and more proficient now. You don't even give the other party a chance to curse in his heart?"
Yu Sheng rubbed the head of the beeping puppet twice, then turned to look at the fox girl next to him: "Let's have something new tonight - first let the big bad wolf out of your tail, I'll take care of it, it's too big, there's no room in the kitchen at home..."
Hu Li's mouth almost watered when he heard this. He immediately followed Yu Sheng's instructions and released the huge wolf corpse hidden in the tail. He also released a kitchen knife, a machete, a frying pan, two soup pots, two shovels, a chopping board, cooking wine, soy sauce, peppercorns, and a bucket of peanut oil...
Yu Sheng was just about to open the door and go home to get something, but when he saw the thing Hu Li had released, his eyes widened. It took him a while to react: "When did you bring these things with you?!"
Hu Li lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "I just took it away when I went out."
Yu Sheng: "...you took the entire kitchen with you when you left?!"
"No, no!" Hu Li quickly waved his hands to explain, "I didn't take the gas stove..."
"Nonsense! It's still attached to the tube! You want to take it!" Yu Sheng discovered that humans would indeed laugh when they were speechless, and he quickly realized another thing, "Wait a minute, so... every time you go out with me, you actually take the kitchen away?!"
Hu Li nodded repeatedly: "Yeah."
"So every time you come home you always run into the kitchen before me... is it to put things away?"
Hu Li continued: "Yeah."
Yu Sheng's expression was a little dull: "...Why?"
"I thought... just in case it comes in handy," the fox girl stuck out her tongue and muttered softly, "just in case we need to cook outside, like on a picnic or something... and look, isn't it used this time?"
Yu Sheng thought about it and wanted to remind the fox that "picnic" was not so wild, it was a bit too wild, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that it seemed not bad.
Look at this place, with blue sky, green land, green mountains and green water. When the real world outside is almost completely dark, the sky here is still bright and sunny. In such a place with gentle breeze, green grass and a vast world...why not roast some wolf to liven up the atmosphere?
As an entertainment program during the exploration of the Black Forest, it was quite appropriate to lead his gang to dismember the wolf grandmother in the base camp.
So Yu Sheng immediately controlled the rocks under his feet, built a temporary table and stove on the platform, and told the fox girl to set up a temporary kitchen. Then he picked up a kitchen knife and a bone-chopping knife and began to try to dismember the huge wolf corpse. While busying himself, he muttered with some emotion: "What a pity, Little Red Riding Hood and Xiaoxiao have already gone back, otherwise I would have dragged them to taste this..."
Irene stood on the makeshift stove made of stones, with her hands on her hips, "Aren't you afraid of scaring people into insanity?"
"What do you know? The best way to overcome fear is to face it head on. Is there a more thorough way to 'face' it than to eat it?" Yu Sheng raised his eyelids and glanced at the little doll. "But you, don't show off about this, or you'll fall into the pot again."
Irene made a face at him and didn't come down. She continued to stroll around the stove, while curiously observing how Yu Sheng disassembled the corpse that was two or three times larger than an ordinary wolf.
Yu Sheng suddenly discovered a problem when he was halfway through his work.
"Wait a minute, there's no fire here." He raised his head and looked around. All he could see was a bare wilderness. There were a lot of green areas in the valley, but it was still too early for trees to grow. There was no need to expect to pick up any firewood - let alone gas. At least, so far, Yu Sheng couldn't figure out how to connect the gas pipe at No. 66 Wutong Road to this XingX Valley...
But just as he finished speaking, Hu Li came over and said, "It's okay, benefactor, I'm angry."
As the fox girl spoke, she pulled out a tail from behind her. Then she held the silver-white furry thing and rubbed it on the stove twice. Like striking a match, a ball of fox fire suddenly popped out from the tip of the tail.
"Here you go." She smiled happily and brightly, holding the burning tail and handing it to Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng: "...This thing can be used for cooking?!"
"Yes, you just need to control the power. If it's too strong, it can be used to make steel, and if it's too weak, it can be used to make a fire."
"…Then put it in the stove and boil a pot of water."
"Oh," Hu Li nodded, and walked towards the stove holding his tail, but turned back halfway, "My benefactor, do you want to take Irene out of the pot first?"
When Yu Sheng heard this, he quickly turned his head and saw the wet little doll using its hands and feet to crawl out of the big soup pot. He was stunned: "Oh my god, when did you fall in!?"
"Just now, when Hu Li was rubbing the fire, I was distracted and fell in... No laughing! No laughing, you two, do you hear me?"
…
It was a peaceful night - a long-awaited, calm, and relaxing night.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Little Red Riding Hood hadn't had a good sleep like today for a long time.
As she approached adulthood, her sleep time had been decreasing, and now her daily sleep time had been shortened to only about two hours. During these two hours of short sleep, she had almost entirely spent in the horror and malice of the Black Forest - she could no longer remember how long these days had lasted, and the encroachment of the Black Forest had confused her judgment of time. When she was dreaming, she even felt that her life had been like this from the beginning.
But today, she fell asleep early, and then rose and fell in a series of light and peaceful dreams.
She was vaguely aware that she was dreaming. She was walking through the scenes she had seen every day, walking through her early school memories, walking through the corridors and courtyards of the orphanage. She was wandering in a light dream. She did not see the shadows of the trees blocking out the sun, nor the howling all around. She only occasionally saw the familiar and close wolf shadows, walking with her in a relaxed manner.
Then, in the nth dream, she saw herself walking into an alley.
It was an alley in the old city. It looked familiar, as if I had been there not long ago.
She didn't remember why she went there, she just saw herself walking quickly through the alley with the wolf pack.
She saw her wolf discovered something and growled uneasily in front of her. She saw herself walking quickly into the end of the alley and saw a figure lying on the ground. There was blood all over the ground and a familiar face.
Deep in her dream, Little Red Riding Hood opened her eyes wide.
She saw Yu Sheng lying quietly in the alley, dead - there was a big hole in his chest and Yuwa had taken away his heart.
The girl was gripped by a momentary panic and confusion. She stood there in shock in her dream, watching the familiar man who had died in front of her long ago. Then suddenly, she saw the night forest again and saw Yu Sheng fall under the attack of the entity - hunger.
She saw the blood spreading and spreading over her body.
Little Red Riding Hood suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for breath.
It was already bright outside the window.
A head popped out from the upper bunk. Rapunzel stared at this side for a long time. She said in disbelief: "You slept a whole night yesterday! You haven't slept so soundly in a long time!"
Little Red Riding Hood didn't say anything. She was still just breathing heavily. It took her a long time to calm down, but her eyes were still a little dazed.
Rapunzel noticed her strange behavior and suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare? Or... did you go into the Dark Forest again?"
"...No," Little Red Riding Hood hesitated and shook her head slowly, "I just...suddenly remembered something, something I couldn't believe. Long hair, things started to get weird."
"ah?"
