The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

54.

Because they stole lettuce that did not belong to them, the two peasant couples had to pay a corresponding price. In fact, this logic is understandable.

In this era when no one's family is rich, only the witch's family grows relatively rare and very delicious lettuce, and she has always been in harmony with the villagers. It makes no sense that she should be responsible for some selfish thoughts of the villagers. .

But the conditions she gave were not completely equivalent.

The peasant woman ate the lettuce, and the farmer stole the lettuce. After the witch captured the farmer, she gave her the condition that they would give her the most precious thing.

Although the fact that the peasant woman suddenly wants to eat lettuce is indeed very strange, judging from the idea that people who may be pregnant will have a little emotion, it does not mean that it is impossible, but no matter what the most precious thing is, it is related to some There is no equal in the value of lettuce.

But under the circumstances at that time, the farmer could not provoke the evil witch, and naturally he could not refuse.

Otherwise, the witch who caught him might directly give some curse or something, then under such circumstances, the farmer might not be able to survive at all, and the peasant woman who lost her husband can do well It is not certain that she will survive, after all, she is the pillar of the family, and she is pregnant with a child.

All, what the peasant women and farmers thought at that time was that their families were poor, so how could they have any "precious things"?

With such a fluke and the thought of trying to get cheap from the cunning witch, the two agreed.

Not long after, the child was born, a very lovely girl.

At that time, many people in the village saw it. When the peasant woman gave birth, many women went to the local area to help. It was not easy for their family to have a child. Everyone knew their eagerness.

But unexpectedly, not long after the child was born, the witch came to her door.

The witch does not have only one residence in the village. She is usually away during the day. Everyone says that she lives in another hut in the woods, where she will conduct some evil research and so on. It is also the reason why the farmer was able to successfully enter the yard of the witch's house and steal the lettuce in the first place.

As soon as the witch opened her mouth, she asked them to give their most precious——

At this time, it can only be their most precious daughter.

The peasant woman and the farmer were shocked. They did not expect to pay such a price for just a little appetite at that time.

But there was no way, they didn't have the chance to negotiate terms with the witch, which they had agreed to before.

So they were forced to give their first daughter, not expecting that it would be their only child.

The witch who got the baby did not kill the baby girl as everyone imagined, even though the old witch was old, with a hunchback figure, gray hair, a hooked nose, wrinkled face, and There are some ugly pustules on the skin. I don't know if it is a disease problem on the skin, but she still has a bit of sincere love for this child.

The witch took the baby girl and raised her as her own.

This was the consensus in the village. According to the village chief, the witch stopped living in the yard where the lettuce was once infested, and she took the baby girl to live in the woods.

The people in the village did not dare to go deep into the woods, nor did they dare to offend the witch's residence, although in fact, many people had a general impression of the witch's residence in their hearts.

Some of them will go hunting in the woods to add to their food, or to get some furs to sell for money, so they are not really ignorant, but their impression of witches or It was awe, intensified by this incident, and no one dared to offend the witch anymore.

Not long after that, the sanity of the peasant woman who lost her daughter became a little unclear.

Her husband has been taking care of her as best he can, but unfortunately, the peasant woman has gradually become crazy and demented in the long period of missing her daughter.

She often looks for her daughter everywhere, and because of her natural awe and fear of witches, she suddenly becomes trembling.

Although they also worked hard when they were sane, they wanted to have another child, but they didn't know if their luck had run out. They got their only daughter with great difficulty, and they never had other children.

Fortunately, the farmer still loves his wife, has been pulling his wife as much as possible, and provided her with a relatively good living environment.

It was fine before, but as the land became more and more barren, even if the farmer was willing to work hard, his living conditions continued to deteriorate. His wife became more and more ill, and even lost the ability to work. Can only rely on his care.

Now, she sits there most of the time every day, and often suddenly goes crazy and starts calling the child, or treats other things, such as stones, as the daughter in her arms, which is very sympathetic, but a certain To some extent, it is true that they did the wrong thing first.

Maria looked very sorry for them, her eyes were red, and she leaned on Anna's arms, but she didn't say any unnecessary words.

Anna thought about it, and only let Catherine pass by, and gave her some water and rice, which might make their family live a little better this winter.

The poor Mr. Farmer, whose hair was more than half gray, quickly came over to thank them, and seemed to be kneeling down. Both Anna and Maria told him not to be too polite.

Soon, he had to rush to take care of his wife who had started to go crazy again, and he looked a little embarrassed, and the people in the village also felt sympathy for them.

"But I heard..." Anna asked while patting Maria's back lightly, "Did someone come here before...?"

The two sat together by the bonfire outside the tent, it was very warm, and the village chief was still talking with them here.

"Ah, yes, yes." The village chief probably didn't want to talk about it, but since Anna had already asked, he opened his mouth anyway.

"About nine months? Oh no, it should be ten to eleven months."

"Anyway, it's in a spring, and the early spring is a little later."

"What happened?" Anna made a curious look, and Maria showed the same expression. The little turtledove flew to the two of them, and then the other two birds also flew around "watching the wind" came back.

They seem to understand, and they also stopped on the tree stump bench here, and they all seem to be listening to the village chief's continuation very attentively.

"that is……"

"There is a young man with an extraordinary bearing, and he looks very powerful..." The village head gestured, and finally pointed to a certain knight.

"Just like that noble lord, he has a suit of armor, and clothes that are so beautiful that they can shine. It may be gold thread or something else, and there is also a very sharp sword."

"He claimed to be a prince, traveled to our place, and asked us if we needed any help. He bought some food and water from us, and he spent a lot of money."

"Naturally, we talked about some things in our local area, and then talked about the terrible incident in their family."

"After hearing that there were witches here, the young master was very angry and said that he would give us justice."

"He said he was a prince. We believed him at the time. Apart from a prince, who else could be as rich and noble as him? But now that I think about it, maybe some prankster noble young master deliberately deceived people. , or on purpose..."

The village head wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

He didn't make any more comments on this person, but just replied.

"Then, he asked us more about witches, saying that he was going to defeat such an evil witch..."

According to his description, Anna felt that this person was probably Prince Ulan, the idiot son of a noble family and heir to the Ulan Kingdom.

He traveled around and happened to be near this village. When he came here to exchange water and food, he accidentally heard that there were witches here, and they just wanted to do evil——

Taking the children of ordinary peasant women, and turning the mother into a lunatic who is sick with daughters, isn't that a problem?

Therefore, the prince who was eager to make a success, perhaps in a righteous mood, resolutely agreed to this matter after inquiring about the situation, to defeat the witch and save the trapped girl.

What happened next, the people in the village actually don't quite know.

Back and forth, the prince seemed to have lived in this village for less than two weeks. At first, he was investigating the situation, but later he appeared less in front of the villagers, and seemed to spend more time in the woods.

It seems that the baby girl who was raised by the witch has grown up and become a teenage girl.

Württemberg and the Kingdom of Lore are 18 years old, but the rule of Ulan Kingdom is 16 years old. However, because the princes have the rules of traveling around, the theoretical succession age of their heirs is similar.

That girl is also 16 years old, and it is said that she has grown into a beauty.

One day, the prince who said he wanted to save the girl told everyone that he would soon be able to drive away the evil witch, that he had fallen in love with the girl, and that after saving her, he would marry her .

According to the village chief, the prince was really overwhelmed by this beauty, and he wanted to defeat the witch with more energy and drive than before.

One day, the prince bought some food and some rope and other equipment from the villagers, and set out for the forest.

A few days later, he came out alone, saying only that the girl still lived around there.

The prince wanted to go back to his hometown first, because the time was almost up, and when he came back, he would bring his troops to bring the girl back to get married.

As a result, until now, they have never seen the prince again.

The villagers are too busy surviving. After a period of curiosity and excitement at the beginning, where is the time to continue to care about these things?

"Sister..." Maria seemed to be aroused.

"Actually, I'm also a little curious." Anna replied in a low voice, "But you can't go."

It was dark now.

Maria was in good spirits at night because she slept for a while during the day, but it was absolutely impossible for Anna to take her on an adventure in the woods at night.

Theoretically, she still has to go on her way tomorrow, so how can she be allowed to do whatever she wants now, if she doesn't feel well, she will get sick.

"Well, I know, sister."

Maria pursed her lips, and gently tugged at her sleeves.

"Then sister, go and have a look, okay?"

"If there is one..."

"I see."

Anna smiled and rubbed her head.

"Catherine, come here."

Anna entrusted Maria to the care of Catherine and the others, and talked to the guards.

They actually didn't approve of Anna going into the woods for something that was probably unwarranted, but objectively speaking, Anna was the one with the highest force value among them.

Even if you haven't seen her killing a group of monsters before, you should have seen her fighting the evil witch in the royal city.

She is determined to go alone, and only asks them to strengthen their defenses. They must protect Princess Maria. In addition, even the villagers should not trust too much. If something happens, the most important thing is to protect Maria, and leave the luggage casually. It doesn't matter, but the Marias can't have an accident.

"understand!"

Both captains responded.

Anna then went into the woods alone.

The dark woods are actually not easy to walk. The good thing is that there are no dense trees in winter, and you can still see the road under the moonlight. She took out a cheap lighting stone and continued walking.

After walking into the woods for about ten minutes, Anna took out all the equipment, from the sword of the brave to the bow of the elf, and other magic props. In addition, she took pictures of several skills for herself. Sneaking, just in case, I used a little luck, I hope I can meet it all at once.

If you can't find the woods that the village head said is in the place where the old witch lives with the girl even with the little lucky skill, then she probably can't find it or it doesn't exist at all.

Unlike the forest where animals were hidden before, this should be just an ordinary forest. There is nothing special about it. At least there is no special environment. no problem.

Anna walked forward for a long time. Looking at the time, almost half an hour had passed.

According to her speed, she originally estimated that she should have walked through more than half of the forest, but in fact, this forest is bigger than she imagined.

Anna's speed after using the skill is amazing, whether it is the increased movement speed or the effect of the skill.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and she was even more sure that there must be some problems here.

I don't know how the prince did it. After exploring the woods for a long time, he finally ran into the poor girl who was taken away by the old witch.

But when she saw the tall tower in the distance, Anna suddenly felt a little more awake.

Although she didn't see the house, she saw the tower. Although the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, it seemed that there were traces of human activities.

As for the thorns and some traces of dark forces arranged around, it is not a problem for her at all.

The tower was taller than she had imagined, about three or four stories high, much larger than her territory's defense tower, judging from the occupied area.

Anna hesitated for a moment, walked around the tower, and was shocked to find that the tower had no door.

She thought about it, and put an identification on it first.

[**** Tower - Ordinary Building]

Health bar: none

Blue bar: none

Quality: None

Rarity: none

Description: The tower that imprisoned the ***.The rest is to be explored.

Seeing this outrageous and perfunctory description, An An almost sneered, cursed the dog system in her heart, and then began to look for a way to get up.

"If there is no door here..."

Anna began to try to fly or climb the wall directly, but she was surprised to find that the system popped up annoying prompts at this time.

【Ding--】

[The system prompts that according to the relevant causal law effect of ***, the air is forbidden in the range near the tower here. 】

Anna frowned slightly, and put the fashion back expressionlessly.

Then, she chose skills.

【Ding--】

[provide a reminder, according to the relevant causality effect of ***, you cannot use climbing skills to climb the tower here. 】

【Ding--】

[Provide a reminder, according to the relevant causal law effects of ***, the tower here cannot use light work skills to climb the tower. 】

Anna's smile was a bit stiff, and she touched the wall of the tower with her hand in disbelief.

It's just an ordinary touch, it looks no different from ordinary brick walls, and the stones of the tower are not so tightly jointed that there is no gap at all. Of course, it is very strong overall.

The touch of her hand deceived her, and Anna tried again in disbelief, and realized that she stayed on the identified "ordinary building" for a while.

【Ding--】

[provide a reminder, according to the relevant causality effect of ***, you cannot use flying skills to climb the tower here. 】

Now, she knew that the broken tower wall was going to make it difficult for her.

Anna raised her long sword and slammed it against the wall, trying to dig a hole for her feet.

【Ding--】

[provide a reminder, according to the relevant causality effect of ***, the tower here cannot be destroyed by the wall (temporarily). 】

"System..." Anna tried to climb the tower like a monkey, but was slid down by the seemingly "smooth" wall again and again. Obviously, this is just an ordinary masonry building, not the kind of place where you can't use your strength.

Of course the system ignored her.

"..."

"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Anna first scolded this damn broken game in her heart, then raised her head and looked at the only opening in the tower.

She decided to try it out in a fairy tale way.

Although at first she didn't want to try it because she felt a little silly, of course she can achieve this result through "bigger movements", such as directly destroying this forest, directly destroying this area, but she is not this kind of " A player who is an evil player", how could it be possible to do such a thing.

Moreover, if there is no accident, there should be someone in the tower.

She's not a bully, isn't she just a shameless person?

I can.

Anna said heartily.

"Lettuce, lettuce, let your hair down."

Anna shouted to the only mouth of the tower under the tower, she felt as if her voice was heard in the whole forest, of course this was all her illusion.

For the first time, there was no response, Anna hesitated, and shouted again.

"Lettuce, lettuce, let your hair down."

This time, Anna heard some rustling sounds from the tower, as if she was a little panicked, or she was holding something, but in short, after about a minute, something came from the only one who spoke. place, was put down.

Anna left a few more lighting stones on the ground, and took one in her hand to ensure that her vision was brighter and she could see clearly enough.

She was not mistaken, what was put down was a huge basket, and the "rope" tied to the basket was a golden-brown thing like long hair.

"Oh shit."

Anna showed a shocked expression.

This is a big basket, it looks like an ordinary bamboo basket, nothing special, just enough to hold a person.

If it is a relatively strong adult, it may be almost full, but if it is thin or slender, then you can bring some other things in the basket.

Anna gave an appraisal, the basket was placed firmly in front of her eyes, it was a height that she could step on, it looked like she was being invited to go up, although it looked very unsafe and unreliable, with no safety factor to speak of.

【Great Big Basket - Ordinary Items】

Health bar: none

Blue bar: none

Description: The basket enlarged by a spell cast by a raped witch has an effect that ordinary baskets do not have - it is big and strong, it is no problem to hold an adult, and there is no need to worry about it breaking.The rest is to be explored.

"Well, it's really like this." Anna thought for a while before stepping into the basket.

Not to mention, it looks a bit like a hot air balloon, but the edge of the basket is a little lower, only about one meter, maybe less than one meter.

Anna put her hands on the edge of the hoop, ready to jump out of the hoop at any time, and she was ready to land in a standard handsome posture once the hoop broke due to her weight moods and thoughts.

Probably realized that there were people in the basket, and after a few seconds, the basket was slowly hoisted up.

Anna was surprised to find that the rising speed of the basket was neither fast nor slow, a little wobbly, but overall it was very stable.

Her gaze rests on this hair.

I have to say that this beautiful long golden brown hair looks supple and tough, with a thick tuft, it is no problem to lift the person in the basket.

Now, she no longer doubted that this was hair, nor did she doubt who the person in the tower was.

Who else but Rapunzel?

It's just that the current progress of this story is a bit embarrassing, it seems to be stuck in the early part of the ending.

But Anna remembers that when she first read this fairy tale, its span was indeed very large. The prince and the princess had to suffer a lot before they met each other and finally got together.

It only took about ten seconds to go up, and Anna was stopped at the position of the window sill.

A girl inside looked at her in surprise.

"Don't, don't, don't leave me behind!"

Anna opened her mouth subconsciously, and her hand had already grasped the masonry of the tower.

"..." The girl's eyes widened, but she didn't stop Anna from coming in.

Anna turned over and entered the tower smoothly, then took the basket back, and took the initiative to help the girl untie the long hair tied to the basket.

Seeing another comb and a pair of scissors on the small table next to her, she picked up the comb very consciously, and then helped her smooth her beautiful long hair. Of course, although the long hair was several meters long, it was not There isn't a single knotted place.

Anna saw a hair rope next to her, and took the initiative to help her tie her hair and made a very simple ponytail.

Of course, no matter how complicated she is, she doesn't know how to comb and comb her hair with such long hair.

After finishing all this, the girl's panic probably calmed down.

It was only now that Anna was able to be secretly surprised in her heart, only feeling that her expression control had become more superb.

It's because——

This girl is pregnant! ! !

Although Anna is a peony, according to her knowledge of pregnant women or her little knowledge, or more precisely what she learned from watching TV, is this girl's stomach too big? ? !

"It's been nine months?!" Anna lowered her head, her eyes were full of shock, and she guessed wildly in her heart.

"It's still eight months, but this belly looks really big, is it about to give birth?!"

There was a huge storm in Anna's heart, and she couldn't stop complaining.

"Fuck, Prince Yulan's prince is actually such a dog. He really impregnated a girl who doesn't know anything. He has no intention of marrying her until now. Does the girl want to have a baby in this crappy place? ?!"

"Having a baby alone??? Foreign women are too brave, right? Isn't that right? Will there still be such a scumbag? If I were her, I would wish to throw away the ashes of the dog man!"

"Wait, is it really a baby?" Anna looked around secretly, and found that apart from the girl making some clothes for children herself and knitting a lot of small clothes with wool, she actually really There are no other traces.

"No way..." She was shocked.

"What do you usually eat?" Anna couldn't help but blurted out.

"Ah..." The girl originally wanted to say something, but she typed back a sentence, she paused, and then answered honestly.

"Just some fruits and vegetables, and occasionally some fish and meat..."

"My adoptive mother used to bring it to me, but now..." Her expression was a little gloomy, but she soon smiled again.

"It's not convenient for me to go down the tower by myself. Sometimes I will write a note and put some money in the basket, but some kind people will put some food up!"

Anna was shocked.

Damn, is it so simple? !

She couldn't imagine how the child who was also raised by the old witch would be——

Oh, Little Red Riding Hood is also quite simple and kind, and her grandmother is also a great character.

Thinking about it this way, the princesses are really incredible.

But it's inevitable, this one is too pitiful, right? !

Anna was full of sighs.

"Then do you know that as a pregnant person, you need to eat... something more nutritious, such as eggs and milk? It would be even better if there were fish and shrimp. Of course, vegetables and fruits are also necessary..."

The girl probably couldn't answer the previous words, but when she heard the vegetables and fruits, she had a smile on her face.

"My favorite food is lettuce."

"By the way, my adoptive mother usually calls me Rapunzel, so who are you?"

"Rapunzel?" Anna blinked, and the other party nodded without suspicion. Anna was so innocent that she wanted to rush up and beat Prince, the scumbag far away in Ulan.

"I am Anastasia, the princess of the Kingdom of Lore." Hearing what she said, Rapunzel froze for a moment, and was about to salute her, but Anna quickly stopped her.

"I'm still the lord of Oran, the Grand Duke who has just been in office for a few months. My territory is not far from here, do you know?"

There was some confusion on Rapunzel's face.

Anna paused, then asked again.

"I heard that a prince came and rescued you." You fucking saved the seed.

"Then, he said he wanted to marry you?" But it is estimated that he will not be able to marry now.

"Yes." Speaking of this, the smile on Rapunzel's face faded a bit, and she didn't seem to have the happy ending in the fairy tale that Anna imagined. She must have realized something, it wasn't There is no doubt at all.

"Then do you know where his country is?"

"In..." She was about to say something, but she couldn't utter the following, "You..."

Anna considered her expression carefully, and then she realized that it wasn't that Rapunzel didn't say it out of protection or prudence, but that she really didn't know.

This time, Anna only felt that her fist was harder. In her heart, she scolded the idiot scumbag to the same extent as she scolded the system. Seeing Rapunzel's inconvenient movement due to her pregnant belly, she felt a burst of pain in her heart. nest fire.

"Sit down first." Anna said cautiously, "I happen to have fresh milk in my package. Try it. Is the taste acceptable?"

Anna handed over a bottle of milk in a porcelain jug, and a bottle of goat's milk with a smaller amount for Rapunzel to smell.

She doesn't know much about pregnancy, but she also knows that pregnant people may not be able to eat certain things. In addition, if people who don't drink milk rashly drink milk, they may not be able to stand the fishy smell, including goat milk.

Fortunately, Rapunzel is indeed a "wild growth" girl, not as squeamish as a princess who can't sleep with beans in her bed.

She smelled the contents of the two jugs, and said that she didn't feel any discomfort, so Anna immediately heated the bottle of milk to the right temperature, and then handed it to her.

"You drink it first." Anna said, "Don't worry, this is good, no problem milk, and it has also been treated with special magic, so don't worry about other things."

"Ah..." Rapunzel seemed to want to refuse or something. Anna's appearance was a little sudden, but when Anna said, "It's all for the good of the child", her eyes immediately turned red.

Rapunzel nodded before crying, and took two sips very cutely. There was still a little milk stain on her mouth. After realizing it, she immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped it off embarrassingly.

Anna only felt that the princesses are really good everywhere, and each has its own cuteness——

Those are the princes, not all men.

Anna thought for a while, then took out the mainland map contained in the package, and then pointed out their locations, the location of Anna's territory, and the location of the Ulan Kingdom.

The village they are in includes the woods, and it still belongs to the Principality of Württemberg, but it is very close to Lohr. People from the village will also migrate to Lohr, including some villagers who have already left. Rapunzel immediately said that her own The adoptive mother sometimes goes to the Kingdom of Lore, but she seems to be shopping for some things, and she doesn't know anything else.

Anna suppressed the thoughts in her heart, and then continued to explain to her.

Therefore, Rapunzel, who was not very common sense but somewhat literate and polite, quickly understood what the lord meant.

"Did you pass by here...?"

Rapunzel stared at her with a pair of beautiful eyes, and when she talked about the outside world, there was light in her eyes.

This gave Anna a little more confidence in what she wanted to do next.

"Yes, when my sister Princess Maria and I led the team back to the territory, we took a shortcut from the Kingdom of Württemberg and just passed by here, and then I heard your story. Out of curiosity, I'll come over and have a look."

"Ah, so." Rapunzel nodded thoughtfully, the joy of hearing the outside world was quickly suppressed by her, as a pregnant woman, she looked a little too quiet and even a little depressed.

Of course, this may have something to do with her somewhat introverted and gentle personality.

But it is inevitable that because the lonely life in Gaota is too difficult, it is normal for her to have some emotions.

But a princess is a princess, and it is impossible for a genuine princess to have any unattractive qualities.

Such thoughts of harming others are even more impossible. It can be said that gentleness and kindness are standard for almost every princess. It is definitely in their own interests, they are the kind of real "good people" who would rather suffer themselves.

In addition, some of them may have some outstanding performances in courage, and others may be extraordinarily intelligent...but each has its own brilliance.

The kindness of the former, Anna can't be so perfect, but she can still pursue some other qualities in the latter.

"Can you tell me a little more about the outside world?"

Rapunzel still couldn't hold back, she opened her mouth very curiously.

Anna then bluntly explained to her about her territory, and she was fascinated by this girl who had never seen the "fancy world" outside.

During the conversation, Anna also learned more about Rapunzel.

For example, Rapunzel actually knew that she was not her mother's biological daughter, and that her mother was a witch. She called her "Mom" but knew in her heart that she was her adoptive mother.

She had thought of going out very early, but the tower was here, and she couldn't leave because of her mother's order, and she couldn't climb down the tower alone.

Before the prince came, her adoptive mother, the witch, kept visiting once a week to bring her food, and sometimes she was extra gracious and would bring her some books, from the very beginning to the end. Anna also saw some of the love stories and novels that she read over and over again.

After hearing from the prince that he could rescue her, her desire to leave once again germinated.

She also knew that witches are bad, the prince said to save her, she wanted to leave too much, so she agreed, and then helped the prince, successfully drove away the mother with a small trick.

Later, the prince said that he would leave first and then bring someone to marry her, and she believed it.

A few months after the prince left, she realized that she was pregnant when her belly gradually grew.

She said that she has been pregnant for a little over six months, but Anna has never seen a six-month pregnant belly, and she doesn't know if the size of the baby conceived by people with different physiques really varies so much, she just thinks Rapunzel's belly was so big that it didn't look like it was six months old, but it looked like someone who was about to give birth.

Anyway, it’s a look that makes Anna shudder——

Everyone who is pregnant is very, very fragile in her heart.

But the prince didn't come until now. Rapunzel laughed at herself and said that she might have been cheated, but she had no other way, she didn't know what to say.

When she first found out that she was pregnant, she was also very flustered. When she was alone, she seemed to be able to eat whatever she wanted, but after having a child, she often felt very hungry.

There is water automatically supplied by magic in the tower, but there is no stable food. She has stored some before, including some money and food before the prince left, including a token of a ring.

But the food ran out quickly, and she had no choice but to write a note and put the basket down during the fixed time when her adoptive mother came one day before.

She thought that since the witch was beaten away, some hunters would probably come here. If they saw the basket and the gold coins inside, they should be able to give her some food, right?

Unexpectedly, she just tried with no other choice and succeeded.

inside
