I was stunned by Red Riding Hood's action.
I wrenched my hand back and took several steps backwards before Red Riding Hood roared in anger and lunged forward, grasping the wooden fence with both hands and screaming at me with her teeth.
I have to say that I was horrified and distressed at the look on her face, and at the same time, my hatred for the spirit demon grew, and I swore that I would find it, and that I would make it never die!
I spent the next half day with the hissing of the red hat, which left me struggling and torn.
By this time, I was actually ready to go, because I had basically finished my business and I hadn't been home for a long time, I didn't even know how anxious my parents had become, so I wanted to go home, but this request, however, I was never able to say to Mr. Sanwu, because I always felt that it was a bit irresponsible for me to just leave like this.
Obviously, the red hat was a burden for anyone, and if it had nothing to do with me, it would be even less of a burden for Mr. Sanwu, and I couldn't just leave it to him, it would make me feel a bit guilty.
However, I couldn't think of a better way to settle Red Riding Hood than this, so I spent the rest of the afternoon torn and torn, looking very distressed.
Mr. Sanwu was very calm, he was laughing and joking all the time, pulling me along to sweep the snow, meditate, and meditate, so he was at ease.
As luck would have it, the sky cleared in the evening, and a red haze shone down from the western sky, leaving the whole mountain in an orange-red state, which was a great relief.
Midway through the day, I asked Mr Three Nothing what he was going to do with Red Riding Hood, whether he was going to send her to a mental hospital.
He looked at me with a faint smile and shook his head, not giving me a specific answer, but also rejecting my speculation.
As it was getting dark, it was time for dinner, and this time it was a bit of a tangle. Since Red Riding Hood was more aggressive, we couldn't let her out to sit at the table and eat, so we had to get a wooden pot again, fill it with rice and slip it into the cage when she wasn't looking.
Then she got down on the floor, stuck her rotten pear-like head into the wooden basin and ate like a wolf dog, barfing and gorging.
When she finished eating, she was so filthy and dirty that her image was a bit unbearable to look at.
The worst part was that when I went to collect the basin later, I found her squatting in the corner looking at me without moving. At first, I wondered why she had stopped yelling, but when I smelled a stench, I realised that she was squatting there to make a convenience.
At nightfall, as I sat playing with Mr. Sanwu under the lamp, I could not help but ask him, "Sir, Dai Hongcai is in such a state, and you are not helping her to clean up?"
"Don't worry, someone else will do the dirty work," said Mr. Sanwu with a faint smile.
After playing two games of chess with him, I went back to my room and lay down to sleep.
Perhaps I was tired during the day, so I fell asleep not long after lying down, but later, in the middle of the night, I heard the sound of laundry coming from outside.
When I came out, I realised that the moon was just right and the small courtyard was bright, which lifted my mood.
I yawned and walked out, and when I scanned my eyes, I noticed a dark figure squatting by the well platform against the wall, washing clothes.
I walked over and took a closer look before I realised it was no other than Kuroyuki.
He was still dressed in black, with a black cloth over his face, but unlike before, there was a large wooden basin in front of him, in which some girls' clothes were soaking, and he was washing them very carefully.
"Cough, cough," I couldn't help but dryly cough twice when I saw Kuroyuki in order to get his attention.
"You don't need to cough, I saw you from the moment you stepped out of the room," Kuroyuki said to me dismissively as he washed his clothes.
A little embarrassed, I smiled sarcastically and said to him, "After that, are you just going to keep looking after her like this?"
"As long as I'm here, I certainly won't leave her behind," he said as he spoke, wringing out a shirt and handing it to me, "Give me a hand and help me dry it."
"Good man," I smiled a little, taking the clothes and hanging them on the rack.
"You're the good man," Black Moon glanced at me and sighed, looking up at the moon for a long time before getting up and drying all the clothes, then carrying half a basin of cold water towards the potting shed.
It was only then that I noticed a fire in the potting shed and went in to see if he had boiled hot water.
He used a wooden pot to make hot water, tested the temperature and found it to be just right, so he nodded in satisfaction, and then carried the water towards the middle room.
I followed him in, and found the room pleasantly warm with a fire-pot lit, and Red Riding Hood, dressed in a small, thin dress, sitting on the edge of the bed with a confused look on her face.
"I'm going to give her a rubdown, are you going to excuse me?" Blackmoon asked as she put the water down and turned to look at me.
This made me feel depressed for a moment, and I could only smile backwards towards the door at that moment.
As I backed up, I asked him, "She doesn't bite you?"
"I'm as solid as iron, she can't bite me, and I'm not afraid of pain," Black Moon told me disdainfully.
"That's good, that, what was it, I read it in a book, it says that conditions like hers are usually just temporary insanity due to stimulation, you need to talk to her more and try to guide her, then maybe she will return to normal," I said to Black Moon as I backed up to the door and peeled against the door frame.
"Got it, thanks for the reminder," Black Moon said as he walked over to the bed and reached out to try to unbutton Red Riding Hood, only for her to bite down on his hand.
I could tell that Kuroyuki's body visibly trembled when he was bitten, which made my heart sour and I hurriedly pulled the door shut, not wanting to look any further.
After I came out, I was already sleepless, so I sat on the veranda and stared at the moon.
In the process, I heard a struggle and a hiss in the room, and it seemed that Red Riding Hood had gone mad again.
Black Moon kept reassuring her, "Good Redcap, don't be afraid, I'm just helping you to wash the dirt off your body, good Redcap, Redcap-"
But, unfortunately, even though Black Moon was gentle and patient, Red Riding Hood never quieted down, she screamed and hissed like a wild animal.
But just when I thought that Blackmoon would never be able to silence Red Riding Hood, there came a sudden "baa-baa-baa" from the house, and then Red Riding Hood's Then Red Riding Hood's voice disappeared.
When I heard that sound, I didn't know why, but I burst into tears.
