Chapter 137 Fifty-two. Strange shadows in the forest
Anna carefully tested the charred body kneeling in the rain, praying. The action is somewhat like a curious child sneaking a lion through a circus lion cage.
There is no breathing, no heartbeat, the body is completely dead.
Anna stared blankly for a while, then suddenly remembered that she was outside, she turned towards the wooden house in fright, and returned to the house through the closed wooden door.
The bright and steady fire brings warmth and dispels the cold.
Lu Li was tidying up the hut. He picked up the overturned pot and put it aside. The stones around the fire were re-enclosed, and the collapsed fire was erected again and new wood was added.
Lu Li removed the quilt on the bed, wiped dry the planks around the bonfire, wrapped the suspicious pieces of meat, and threw them into the corner where the pot was lying quietly.
"Send the corpse outside, and bring back some wood by the way."
Lu Li looked like Anna Dao who was chased in by something.
In front of the door, there are still some scum of the male owner, and the charred corpse of the little boy is nailed to the wall. Although it will not make Lu Li uncomfortable, it will be a little strange. It is better to throw it outside.
The wreckage of a family of three who don't know what it is should be able to scare away some existences.
"Oh."
Anna nodded, pulled out the wooden stick in the little boy's mouth with her ability, lifted it, and gathered up the debris in front of the door. The smaller debris was blown into the corner by the strong wind that had poured into the wooden house before. Just ignore it.
The wooden door opened a gap, and was squeezed open by the wind pouring in the rain. The wooden house became flickering again. Anna simply closed the wooden door, and the fire began to calm down again.
Anyway, she doesn't have a physical body, so she doesn't need to open the door when she comes back.
Anna threw the corpse into the firewood room, hugged some wood, and hurriedly left the dark firewood room, went around to the main entrance and penetrated straight through.
"I'm back!"
Anna, who got back into the wooden house, shouted in a crisp voice.
——Wowla——
The door trembled slightly, and along with the trembling, there seemed to be a sound of something falling outside the door.
Anna was suddenly stunned, staring at her empty arms in a daze.
Huh? I clearly remembered to carry it in... What about the wood?
After simply tidying up the wooden house, Lu Li walked to the diary, lowered his head and picked up the diary whose pages had been blown open.
"Oh...hehehe."
Anna smirked and scratched her head, turned and floated out of the door, remembering that the door was still open, she floated back to the wooden house to open the door again, picked up the firewood scattered at the door, and returned to the house.
Lu Li threw the diary to Anna who had just put down the firewood, picked up the wet firewood and dried it around the campfire: "Remember to read the entire diary next time."
"Eh?"
Ana tilted her head in confusion, picked up the diary, found that she had held it upside down and came over again, floating to the bonfire to open the first page of the diary.
[September 13th. My name is Rena, and my mother told me that when I can read, I can write in a diary. I asked my mother what the diary was, and she said that what you wanted to say but didn't say was written in it, but I didn't understand. My mother let me write whatever I wanted. 】
The handwriting is not neat, but the traces of writing left on the paper can make people imagine a little boy sitting at the table, holding a quill in his small hand, and carefully writing a diary stroke by stroke.
【September 14th. Betty is an idiot. I see him chasing his tail and swirls many, many circles. Doesn't he get dizzy? 】
【September 15th. What to write? 】
【September 16th. Don't know what to write. 】
[September 17th. I took Betty to the park and it ran so fast I almost couldn't catch it and there were a lot of kids like me there and I met Rachel and I met Johnny and I met Ben and they liked Betty and brought I played a lot of fun, um... I seem to understand what a diary is. 】
After reading the first page, Anna turned to the next page and found that there were at least dozens of pages of such content.
As usual, Anna, who has always been bored, will read page by page with relish, but she wants to know what Lu Li's words mean.
looked up at Lu Li, he took out the kettle from his backpack, put it on the stone to heat it, and took out the shriveled and hard bread, ready to eat as soon as possible.
Simply skipping the following content, Anna kept flipping back until a page that changed.
From the middle of the page, the handwriting of the diary has changed. Serious and hard handwriting turned into scribbled, typo-laden handwriting.
【April 8th. We're going to Belfast! Mother said that it is more prosperous than inland, I don't know what prosperous means. 】
【April 9th. It took me a long time to fall asleep. My mother said that I was too excited and told me to hurry up and leave tomorrow. 】
【April 10th. The carriage is shaking so much...]
【April 11th. I heard the adults say that there seems to be some kind of swamp ahead... What is the swamp? 】
【April 12th. I'm sad...I don't know what happened, my father and mother rushed in and ran with me in a panic. They took me into the woods and the ground was very wet. Is this a swamp? There are a lot of bugs here, but fortunately we found the house before dark. It was the same family of three as us, and there was a little boy! 】
The diary was interrupted for a few days from here, and the handwriting began to change.
【April 15th. My mother told me that this is called a diary. You can write on it, and you can write down whatever you want. I want to eat big meat! 】
Seeing this, a terrible thought flashed in Anna's mind.
The thought made her shudder.
Rena and the little boy were never alone!
The diary belongs to Rena, he and his family, like himself, ran here to be received by the family, and then the diary fell into the hands of the little boy...
What is that big meat...?
Ana continued to look and found what she wanted under a few lines of crooked handwriting.
【April 19th. After we invited the guest to eat the big meat, he cried so hard, I hated it. But we'll be able to make him big meat in no time! 】
Is this what Lu Li wanted to say...
Ana whispered, subconsciously looking at Lu Li.
Lu Li stood in front of the window, his face reflected in the glass. Look outside the cabin with the Razer's spreading light.
If it wasn't for the six-legged savages who suddenly broke in, and Lu Li didn't know how to find the problem, they would definitely attack us too...
Ana lowered her head and found that the diary had been turned to the last page unconsciously.
【The storm is coming, my father said that there is no prey today, so I can only eat those stale food, I hate storms]
【A guest is coming! It's great, Mom and Dad will definitely treat him, and I can eat big meat again! 】
【But guests can eat the best part, and I want to eat too... 】
There is a paragraph after this sentence, maybe the little boy was before the savage broke in.
Anna whispered softly and read out the contents above.
"When Uncle comes back, we can eat big meat together..."
A flash of lightning flashed through the clouds in the sky, in a swamp that was suddenly pale, at the edge of the jungle.
A huge silhouette with an axe appeared.
