39.

The carriage drove to the yard of the wooden house with a white roof, and Audrouang got off the carriage and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by an old woman wrapped in a purple turban.

Odrouang explained: "Good evening, mother-in-law, we passed by here on a trip, but it is getting late now, and I want to find a hotel for the night. Is there a town ahead?"

The old woman looked at Audrouang and said, "It takes half a day to get to the nearest city, and it's too late to start now."

Audrouang took out a gold coin and said, "It's too late, and we don't know where there is a hotel. Can we stay here for one night and leave tomorrow?"

The old woman didn't accept Audrouang's money, so she opened the gate of the courtyard and let Audrouang in.Odrouang helped Creat get out of the carriage, unloaded the carriage, led the horse to the yard, found a rope to lock the carriage, and the two entered.

The old woman lives alone. This is a two-story house, not big. The old woman keeps the house very clean and tidy.

The old man took the two to a room on the second floor. Odrouang told the old man that Creat was his partner, so there was no need to live in two rooms. The bed is made.

There was only a small bed in the guest room on the second floor, and nothing was spread on it. The old lady asked them to wait for a while, and went to another storage room to move the quilt by herself.Odrouang let Creat sit down, and he followed the old man to carry things.

After everything was done, it was completely dark, and the old woman had already cooked the meal, and the three of them sat in the hall to eat.The staple food is rough bread, delicious mushroom soup, and wild vegetables.

Odrouang ate it all without changing his face, and Krillate couldn't eat any more, but he also knew that it was at someone else's house, so he said he was full after eating less than half of it, and Odrouang took him to eat. All the rest of the food was eaten.

Seeing this, the old woman didn't say anything, and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of honey water for Creat.

Although the early autumn was not too cold, the old woman lit the fire in the fireplace early. The old man was sitting in front of the fireplace and knitting a sweater. Creat saw the novelty and saw someone knitting a sweater for the first time, so he sat beside the old man and looked at her. Knitting a sweater while chatting with her.

"Mother-in-law, why do you live here alone? What about your family?"

The old man didn't raise his head, and said: "My son is not filial, he moved to the city, and he doesn't care about me anymore. My old man left three years ago. Now, I'm the only one left. .”

Creat didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to comfort others, but the old man saw him frowning and said, "It's nothing, I'm used to living alone, you see, I'm fine now." Is it? It’s you, why are you out at this time?”

"We came out to play. We thought we could go to the next city through the forest, but it took us a long time to get out."

"Forest? Did you come from the forest?" The old man was a little surprised, and even stopped his hands.

Audrouang sensed something was wrong and asked her, "Is there anything strange about that forest?"

The old man sighed and said, "That forest was cursed by the queen."

"What curse?" the two asked at the same time.

Kingdom of Cantere, a country famous for its timber, almost all the towns in this country are surrounded by forests, people need to go through a long forest to enter this country, and they have to go through a huge forest when they go out.

The king married a successor a few years ago, and the successor didn't like the children left behind by the queen. He turned several princes into swans and drove the only princess out of the palace.

"How did you know?"

"I don't know if you met a girl in white in the forest?"

"Is she the princess who was kicked out?" Krillate asked in surprise.

The old man nodded, "The princess is living outside. I took her in for a night. She told me what happened. In fact, she told many people, but no one believed her. I went to the city to find my son's I saw the queen once before, and I believed the princess, so I told her that there was a priestess walking through that forest, and she would tell the princess what to do. The princess went, but then the queen heard the news and took the piece The forest is cursed, and anyone who passes through this forest will be lost in it."

Audrouang said: "But when we came, there was always only one main road, and there was only a fork in one of them."

The old man nodded and said: "That's it. When the first queen was here, in order to make it easier for the subjects to go out, they ordered people to open a road in each forest, and also to prevent foreigners from getting lost in the forest. does not exist."

Creat was afraid for a while: "Then what would happen if we chose another path at that time."

The old man smiled and said, "I don't know anymore, I haven't walked in for a long time."

Crea held Odrouang's hand and looked at him with an expression of wanting to take credit. Audrouang touched his head with the other hand.

Krillate seemed to be rewarded, and asked the old woman again: "Then the princess is trapped inside alone? Shall we go in and help her?"

The old lady smiled and looked at Creat, then kissed his forehead, and said: "Don't worry about the child, Princess Alyssa is just trying to save her brothers, since you can still see her safe and sound, it means She has found a way to save lives, now, let us pray for the princess."

After washing up and saying good night to the old woman, the two returned to the room. Odrouang took out the flower cakes in the package. Creat was tired of eating them when he was in Yilubuun. Audrouang was afraid He was suddenly hungry alone on the road, so he took some flower cakes just in case.

However, the flower cakes had been stored for two days, and the taste was not so good. Audrouang was afraid that he would be hungry, so he coaxed people to eat the two cakes.

, Odrouang was leaning on the bedside to read a book, Creat felt that the bed was too hard and lay on top of him, thinking of the princess in the forest, he couldn't help asking: "Odrouang, we really don't want to go back and see her?"

Audrouang held the book in one hand, and patted Creat's back with the other, "Didn't the mother-in-law say that? She can solve it herself."

Creat had no choice but to give up, and Audrouang really didn't want to interfere.

The two chatted for a while, and to be exact, only Creat was talking, and Odrouang was forced to respond. In the end, Creat fell asleep on Odrouang, and Odrouang knew that Going down, Creat could only feel uncomfortable, so he turned over carefully with the man in his arms, put him on the bed, and embraced him by himself.
