Chapter 188 The Ugly Witch (2)
"My dear prince, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Shi Yi heard his footsteps and did not turn around, continuing to stroke the antlers of the sika deer.
"I was guided here by the fairy yesterday. She said you could help me." Carl stopped behind her, his eyes quietly falling on the black robe.
Shi Yi continued to "be intimate" with the sika deer, quietly waiting for him to say the next word.
"The fairy told me that I have to agree to your wish." Carl breathed in the fresh air and felt that every pore of his body was comfortable.
"My wish is very simple. It's not too late to talk about it after you get your throne." Shi Yi stood up and turned to him, staring into his eyes.
Carl only felt that there was a kind of magic in the other's eyes, as if as long as he said no, something bad would happen to him immediately. He nodded like a puppet.
"Prince, breakfast should be ready." Shi Yi got a satisfactory answer and took the initiative to walk into the house.
Carl suddenly seemed to have regained his mind and gasped for breath. He thought of the sika deer he had seen before, and when he looked up, he found that it had already disappeared.
He looked back at the hut, and the white window was open. He could clearly see the witch pouring milk.
He stepped into the house.
On the dining table, a simple croissant and goat milk for one person were already placed.
Carl stood by and asked curiously, "What about yours?"
"Please take a seat." At the same time, Shi Yi retreated to a relatively dark corner - behind the door, and shook her head gently, saying, "We witches don't eat human food."
Her feet, covered by a black cloak, were crushing the maggots that fell from her body one by one. The tiny sizzling sound aroused a secret sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Although Carl smelled some rotten smell, the furnishings in the house were simple, but everywhere was very clean, and the tableware was so bright that it could reflect his face; the green grass, flowers, birds and deer outside the house were even more beautiful.
He must have smelled it wrong, and he lowered his head to eat bread and drink milk in big mouthfuls.
On the third day that Carl was in the cabin, Shi Yi offered to take him away.
They walked along the thorny path in the green forest for three days and three nights before they stopped at a clear pool of water.
Carl had long felt that there was some dirt on his body, and when he saw the pool, he was happy to dive in. Shi Yi stopped him.
She threw a stone into the pool, which was bottomless, and her expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong with this pool?" Carl noticed her eyes flashing for a moment.
"I can't see any problem for the time being, but you'd better not touch this pool. I always feel that there is an indescribable weirdness." This sense of danger started from Shi Yi's heart, and it was the first instinct of danger.
Although Carl didn't understand what the problem was with the clear pool of water in front of him, since the witch said so, he didn't want to make the two unhappy in vain.
Then Shi Yi took him to pick some wild apples from the nearby trees to fill their stomachs. She still didn't eat a single bite.
"Okay, you can live in the tree tonight. There are no wild animals to disturb you, so it's safer." Shi Yi used a quilt made of rags and fresh leaves to make a simple bed for him.
"Where are you staying?" Carl asked as she jumped down.
"Tonight, your loyal supporter, the Prime Minister, will be exiled here." Shi Yi walked further away.
Carl thought she was going to find a place to live, and looked at her back with some uneasiness and said, "Will you always be with me?"
Although he was tired from running around without stopping, he did not feel scared. But when he came into contact with the beautiful him in the cabin in the forest, he was afraid of losing him because of his yearning for a better future.
He felt much more at ease with someone by his side.
"After you meet the Prime Minister, keep walking along the east side. I and the most loyal general of the kingdom will be waiting on the way." With every step Shi Yi took, white fat maggots fell off her body. This is also the reason why she wanted to avoid the prince.
If you lift the cloak, you will find that there is no white flesh in her abdominal cavity, only a piece of white tiny insect eggs attached, densely packed, really scary.
She doesn't have much time left. That's why she and the prince have to split up and gather people to help the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible.
Carl climbed up the tree alone again.
At night, the squirrels on the tree fell asleep, and the fish under the pool also stopped in the pool. Carl was still turning over unsteadily.
He looked at the bright moon in the sky, feeling lonely and helpless.
He couldn't confirm whether what the witch told him was true, but he didn't dare to believe it. In this unfamiliar place, the consequences of his rash actions were unknown.
He leaned over to look at the pool under the tree, and saw a huge python sticking its head out, with gray scales and strange eyes shining with dark green light, swallowing the fish in the water in big mouthfuls.
He had never seen such a dangerous creature before, and he was so scared that he hugged the tree trunk tightly.
He was afraid, but his eyes were focused on the python. He saw its belly swell up, and after eating and drinking, it sank to the bottom of the water. The pond was calm again, except for the bodies of a few floating fish. His eyes gradually felt tired, and when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard panicked footsteps.
It was the footsteps of a group of people, mixed with voices.
"Prime Minister, we have been on the road for a long time, why don't we take a rest again." The prince heard someone say.
Prime Minister? ! Is it the Prime Minister? ! He jumped down the tree like a carp.
At this time, Shi Yi had already arrived at a farmer's house.
The general, dressed in civilian clothes, looked at the guest who came from afar with a very alert look.
"I was sent by Prince Carl to find you." Shi Yi took out the token he got from Carl and handed it to him.
The general took it with half belief and half doubt, and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"The name of the prince is engraved on the bracelet. It was written by your father himself." In order to save time, Shi Yi reminded him.
The general pondered for a long time and said in silence: "This is indeed the prince's bracelet. Where is the prince now?"
"The prince and I have agreed to meet on the way. The general just needs to follow me." In order to prevent the maggots from falling and frightening people, Shi Yi wrapped herself with three layers of black cloth inside and out while hurrying on the road. In a place where the general could not see, a flash of pain flashed in her eyes for a moment.
The feeling of being eaten by maggots makes people wary and frightened all the time.
"I'll go with you." The general looked her up and down for a long time, and finally confirmed that her fighting power was not as high as his, then went into the house and began to pack up.
This was the most secret place for retirement that he had prepared for himself. There was nothing special to worry about, so he picked up a few pieces of clothing and came out.
Shi Yi and he traveled day and night, and finally met the prince and his party on the fifth day.
