Chapter 309 Silent Night (2)

Strawberry-flavored candies with milk seemed to fit Lena's taste.

"Big brother, can you tell me a story?" Lina asked suddenly.

"story?"

The little girl nodded and said: "Every night at this time, my mother will tell me stories and put me to sleep."

Luo Qiu suddenly remembered that the last time he met those little monsters in Yang Taizi's dojo, they seemed to have been entrusted in this way... He subconsciously had a strange thought.

Could it be...he is the kind of brat who looks like a storyteller.

"What story do you want to hear?"

Lina thought for a while and said, "Big brother, do you know the end of that story? It was the story my mother told me during the day on the train."

Luo Qiu said: "Didn't your father tell you the ending of this story?"

"Lina doesn't believe in Dad's ending!" The little girl raised her head and pouted, "I want to hear the real ending!"

"Then what do you think the real ending should be?" Luo Qiu asked suddenly.

The little girl lowered her head and thought for a while and said, "Hmm... Mr. Monster is so pitiful! He should marry the little girl and live happily together!"

"What Mr. Monster?" Allie suddenly interjected at this moment... Maybe because of the silence, she needed some topics, some voices.

"I heard that it is a very kind, but very ugly monster." Luo Qiu looked at Ellie, and slowly said the first half of the story he heard from Mrs. Maggie in the morning.

"So it's this story!" Ellie showed a dazed expression at this moment.Seeing the little girl's gaze, she smiled and said, "I also heard this story when I was a child... well, it's actually a story that's spread around the area."

Lina immediately threw herself from Boss Luo's side to Ellie.

Ellie touched her head and said, "However, at the end of the story, Mr. Monster and the little girl are not married and live happily together."

"Ah? Why?" Lina was disappointed and said, "Could it be that Mister Monster really ate her bride?"

Wait...why did you suddenly jump to the stage of the bride?Luo Qiu looked at this little girl in astonishment... How far have you imagined? Hey?

"No." Ellie said seriously: "On the contrary, that little girl ate Mr. Monster's heart later!"

"Why did she eat Mr. Monster's heart?" The little girl Lina showed a sad look.

Ellie said indifferently: "After the story, the little girl grew up and left Mr. Monster. She went to the outside world, met many people, and learned many things. Then, she also fell in love with a The son of a nobleman. It’s just that the little girl was not beautiful when she grew up, and the son of the nobleman didn’t like her. Later, she met a wizard who told her that as long as she ate the heart of Mr. Monster, she could immediately Be beautiful and make everyone fall in love with her."

Ellie sighed and said: "Mr. Monster was very sad when he found out. But he still dug out his heart. Because he likes this little girl very much, even if the little girl grows up and doesn't like it anymore, it still Willing to let her be happy. So, Mister Monster dug out his heart, handed it to her, and then left alone."

"Then, did she really marry the nobleman's son in the end?"

"No." Ellie shook her head and said, "After eating Mr. Monster's heart, instead of becoming more beautiful, she became as ugly as Mr. Monster. Noble sons will not like her even more Even her parents disliked her. In the end, she could only go back to live in the forest and dare not see people. Only this time, there is no Mr. Monster to accompany her."

Lina said sadly: "Mr. Monster...is he dead?"

"I don't know either. The story ends here. However, there was a legend that after Mr. Monster dug out his own heart, he wandered outside alone."

Ellie said slowly: "People say that if a monster loses its heart, it has no memory, and only a body remains, like a walking dead. But it wants to find its heart back. So it attacks innocent people everywhere. The little girl wanted to retrieve the heart she had thrown away. But it ate a lot of little girls, but in the end she couldn't find it. Finally, Mr. Monster came to the side of a lake and jumped into the lake by himself. It hasn't been seen since then."

"Mr. Monster is so pitiful!" Lina said even more sadly.

Allie had no choice but to reach out and touch Lena's face, comforting her softly.

"Is this a local legend?" Luo Qiu asked suddenly.

Ellie nodded, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know what the mentality of the person who made up this story was. Anyway, when I think about it when I grow up, I always feel that this story should not be heard by children at all."

But you still said it exactly, right?

Boss Luo, who didn't know Ellie's mentality, shook his head, looked out of the window, and said softly, "The lake..."

"Here it is, Lake Ladoga."

……

……

The three of them opened the car windows respectively, and used their strong flashlights to shine on the trees on both sides of the small road, and kept calling Maggie's husband's name.

But it seems that along the way, nothing is achieved.

"It stands to reason that this place is so remote that there are at least [-] or [-] kilometers away from anyone's house... Could it be that you encountered a large beast or something?"

Bolehan suddenly put forward his own hypothesis.Ryan couldn't help bumping into this guy.

"Mrs. Maggie, don't worry, this is not a dangerous area where brown bears come and go. Even if it is a wild animal, I think there are more squirrels." Ryan comforted quickly.

"It's here. Our car was parked here just now." Maggie stopped the car at this moment.

"Then let's get out of the car and look carefully to see if we find anything." Alex suggested.

Mrs. Maggie nodded, then pointed in one direction and said, "My husband's cell phone was found in front."

A few people then walked in this direction and walked into the forest. Their shoes stepped on the dry branches and leaves, making it extremely loud.

"I suddenly felt something."

walking behind.

Bolehan lowered his voice and said in Ryan's ear: "We will encounter Mrs. Maggie's husband's... dead body later!"

Ryan was taken aback, and quickly said: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Bolehan smiled and said, "Don't you think it's very exciting? When we found the body, he suddenly stood up like 'Wow!'! Then he ran after you and kept chasing you! What's the matter? ? I'm just saying, you're so scared? How did you go to Ellie when you're so timid? "

"Bolehan, are we... lost?" Ryan swallowed, and the light of the flashlight shone ahead.

No one, no one.
