Chapter 355 Fairy
The story of "Candy House Adventures" is very simple. Hans and Gretel are the sons and daughters of a poor lumberjack family.
After the lumberjack married his second wife, the stepmother tricked her husband into abandoning the children in the forest on the grounds of "family poverty" and let the two children starve to death.
Two children who were abandoned in the forest used stones as markers to return home at first, but the second time, the bread crumbs used as markers were eaten by birds, and they were trapped in the forest and strayed into the witch's candy house.
After a battle of wits and courage, they wiped out the witch and returned home. Just at this time, the stepmother also died of illness, and the family reunited happily and sweetly.
In fact, the core of the original fairy tale is quite dark and cruel, and some plots are also terribly thoughtful, but in this magically modified fairy tale world, "Candy House Adventures" has been tampered with beyond recognition.
"Your son and daughter were abducted by them?"
Li Ang asked, "What's going on?"
"I moved my family here when I was building a factory in Tian'an Town. It's a villa, on the high ground to the east of the town."
Carpenter Hornburg clenched his teeth, clenched his fingers into fists, and said: "In order to prevent their intrusion, I specially hired a group of security personnel to guard the house.
Unexpectedly, yesterday evening, when my wife took the children to the lawn behind the villa for a picnic, these people sneaked over from the woodland and abducted my two children.
I formed a team overnight, led people to chase them, and finally blocked them in this camp. "
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Just so few people? Didn't call for official support? It took a whole day to find it?"
"Called for backup."
The owner of the paper mill said helplessly: "But this group of people seems to have some kind of weird special ability, they can hide in the forest, even if the crowd walks straight through the forest, they can't find them.
The other search and rescue teams are probably still in other places in this vast and deep mountain. "
He didn't finish the second half of the sentence. In fact, the leader of the Children of the Forest is a registered old witch, a natural-born spellcaster with fair strength,
Moreover, the witch seems to come from a secret organization that has been passed down for a long time, and some of its members have already held high positions and important positions in various places-this is probably the reason why the children of the forest have been jumping around for so many years without dying.
But... many of the children of the forest standing here are teenagers who were lured away from the local town of Tian'an (the local workers were restrained just now because they didn't want to kill their nephews),
Not all members,
More of the Children of the Forest, the Witch, and Carpenter Hornburg's abducted son and daughter have yet to be seen.
Li Ang nodded, then turned to look at the member of the Son of the Forest, "So, where is this gentleman's son and daughter now?"
"..."
The girl was silent for a moment, how proud she was when she stood up to argue just now, how much she wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb now, "This, this I don't know,
Uh, maybe you can just stand here and wait,
We, the children of the forest, are definitely not the kind of crazy villains. I believe that the two sides can communicate and negotiate in a civilized and harmonious way, eliminate differences, and reach a consensus..."
Before the girl could finish her stammering narration, a low and hoarse voice came from deep in the forest, "Dear Mr. Hornburg, please don't be nervous. Hans and Gretel are both safe."
The owner of the paper mill opened his eyes wide and stared at the forest.
This voice...is the leader of the children of the forest, that crazy old witch!
Old Dorothy!
I saw an old and decaying old woman slowly walking out of the dense forest. She was wearing a thick overcoat woven from moss and had a wreath made of colorful flowers on her head.
A whitish brown wooden staff was tucked under the right armpit, and on both shoulders stood many unnamed birds——
One of the falcons appeared to be so sleep deprived that it almost had the words "This is a dying hawk" stamped on its head.
Such a traditional and diversified style of dress does have the temperament of a forest witch, but the most interesting thing is the two children who are holding her hand from left to right and walking slowly.
The two children were dressed in the same costumes as the Children of the Forest, and in appearance, they did look a bit like Carpenter Hornburg.
The moment he saw the child, Carpenter shouted in great surprise, "Hans! Gretel! That's great!"
In appearance, these two children do look a bit like Carpenter Hornburg,
It's just that they are dressed in the same clothes as the children of the forest, with stern faces, depressed and silent expressions, not like children, but like death row prisoners who have suffered a lot, or philosophers.
Seeing their children's faces covered in oil paint, and their mental state is obviously not right,
Carpenter Hornburg snarled at the witch furiously, "Let go of their hands, you bloody witch! What did you do to my children when you abducted them?!"
He subconsciously rushed forward, without Li Ang stopping him, the lumberjacks around grabbed him firmly,
"I did nothing."
The old witch said calmly: "I didn't cast a spell to change your children's minds, nor did I pour them a magic potion. They joined the Children of the Forest voluntarily.
To be precise, I did not abduct them. Yesterday afternoon, your wife was the one who took care of the children and let them go into the bush behind the villa.
If I didn't happen to pass by there, they should have been eaten by the vicious caracal by now.
When I rescued these two children, they were seriously injured, and I had to take them to the camp for treatment.
As a result, before I could send the child back or give an explanation, you have already formed a massive search and rescue team,
Shout out to us children of the forest.
If you ask me, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Carpenter Hornburg didn't hear what the other party was saying clearly, he squatted down a little bit, and opened his hands forward: "For the sake of Her Majesty, my children, you are still alive, that's great , Come to Dad quickly!"
However, the two children didn't seem to buy it, instead of throwing off the palm of the forest witch and going straight to their father, they glared and scolded: "Please don't call us that, you cold-blooded forest butcher!
We were ashamed of using the surname Hornburg, a heritage paper manufacturing company, and decided to honor our newborn with a new name! In order to draw a line with the past eight long years of life. "
The little boy frowned, and said seriously: "You can call me the Fairy of the Forest, Billy."
The little girl took over the conversation, "You can call me Forest Spirit VAN."
Then, the two said in unison: "We will fight for the forest until we die!"
