Fairy Tale: Little Red Riding Hood's Wolf Mentor

Chapter 9 Cute Girl
In the surface forest, the grass and trees rustled in the wind.

An old hunter with gray hair was walking in the woods, panting.

He tried to move as quietly as possible, lowering his upper body and carefully examining the ground - he was tracking the traces of some animal.

found it!
After pushing aside two blades of grass, the old hunter's eyes lit up, and he finally saw an elk drinking water with its back to him by the stream in front of him.

The old hunter took out the old hunting rifle from behind, lowered it, and took aim.

"Bah!"

The gunshot went off, but missed.

The elk only suffered some scratches on its legs, and these minor injuries were not enough to cause a fatal blow to its athletic ability.

So the next second, the frightened elk crossed the stream and started running away!

"Oh! Why are my hands so shaky?"

The old hunter sighed, put on his hunting rifle, gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

There are too few prey in this forest recently, so... he can only catch up with this deer, otherwise, his family will probably starve for a while!

As the elk crossed the bushes and streams, it was injured and its speed did slow down a lot.

This allows old hunters to gradually approach by following the blood trail.

But just as the old hunter crossed another low hill, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a bright red shadow from the corner of his eye.

"Huh? That's..."

The hunter took another look and stopped in astonishment.

Deep in the forest, there is a little girl?

"Ah, haha, hello uncle..."

Lake smiled stiffly, looked at the old hunter in front of him and waved.

The moment she saw the hunter, she felt the hairs on her body stand up!

Hunting rifles, hunting knives, hunting clothes...

Isn’t this the same outfit as the hunter who wanted to kill grandma?

Ruined!
"Little boy, why are you here?"

Unlike what Little Red Riding Hood had imagined, the old hunter spoke in a kind and friendly manner, even a little... like a grandmother?

The old hunter stopped chasing the elk. He looked at the wild vegetables and dried meat in Little Red Riding Hood's hands and felt a little confused.

"I...I went to the forest alone to pick some wild vegetables."

Little Red Riding Hood Lake noticed the old hunter's gaze and raised the thing in her hand.

"Where are your parents? How could they let a child as young as you go out alone?"

"This forest is so huge, I just... accidentally got lost."

Lake shook her head and said.

"Do you remember which direction home is?"

"Can not remember."

"That's it..."

The old hunter frowned and looked at the sky, seeming a little conflicted.

Finally, his expression darkened, as if he had thought of something. He sighed and said:
"It's getting dark. How about... you come to my house and rest for a while, and then I'll take you home tomorrow?"

"Thank you uncle!"

Lake's eyes lit up.

Maybe... this old man in front of me, who looks very similar to the bad hunter, is a good person?
The old hunter looked at the bloodstains on the ground left by the escaped elk, shook his head with some regret, and turned back to walk in the direction he came from.

At this moment, the sound of a large area of ​​grass and trees swaying came from behind.

The old hunter looked back, but his expression was horrified——

"Be careful, there's a wolf!"

As he said this, he took a step forward, blocking Lake behind him, and picked up the old hunting rifle again.

"Wait a minute—that's not a wolf!"

Lake looked over there and saw the Poro walking towards her excitedly with the elk in his mouth.

Poro was walking in the jungle when he suddenly saw a wounded deer coming towards him.

Hey, how could he let go of a delicious treat that was delivered right to his door? So, with just three paws and two bites, the Poro knocked the elk to the ground and dragged it over to Little Red Riding Hood for a "snack" that evening. But just as he was climbing over the bushes, he saw a man in full hunting gear, the black muzzle of a gun pointed directly at him!

Gan!
It's doomed now!
The Poro opened his mouth wide, and the elk's neck in his mouth rolled to the ground.

"No, little girl, this is a wolf. I've been a hunter for decades, there's no way I could have mistaken it!"

The old hunter's hands were shaking a little, but he was still facing the Poro straight. The hand pressing the trigger even exerted force slowly, making a slight clicking sound.

Lake was anxious, and quickly held down the hunting rifle and shouted:
"Uncle, you really made a mistake. Poro is my dog!"

When these words were spoken, the old hunter and Poro were both shocked. Fortunately, Poro's face was covered with wolf hair, so there was nothing strange about it.

"You said... this is a dog?!"

The old hunter frowned, but did not put down the hunting rifle in his hand. Instead, he observed the Poro carefully.

Poro also reacted at this time.

He focused his mind, bent his hind legs and straightened his front legs, stuck out his tongue, and used force to control his big tail to wag.

Then he looked at Lake, opened his mouth and shouted loudly:
"Wang-"

The girl tried her best to suppress her urge to laugh, and turned to the hunter and said:
"You see, a Poro is indeed a dog, right?"

"Oh...that's great! I'm old and I really made a mistake!"

The old hunter touched his left chest, calmed his heartbeat, and said, "He can hunt an elk all by himself. He is really a good dog!"

"of course!"

Lake puffed out her chest proudly and said, "Polo, bring the deer here!"

So the Poro came forward dragging the elk.

"Puro, we can stay at this uncle's house tonight! Um... this elk's leg was injured by the uncle, why don't we give the elk to him?"

Lake squatted down apologetically and touched the Poro's head.

She knew that in the outside world, most wolves could not speak, so as a temporary solution, she had to let Poro be a dog for a while.

The Poro nodded and pushed the deer in front of the old hunter.

As for being a dog, Poro only wants to say...

So cool! Make sure to order more!
Of course, it’s not that much more enjoyable to be Little Red Riding Hood’s dog.

It was a hint from his soul—

You disguised yourself as a dog and fooled an experienced hunter—oh my god, how did you do that?

Sure enough, choosing Lake as the "only listener" is indeed a good choice!

Look, I haven’t even left the forest yet, but I’ve already completed part of the ritual!

Although it is a bit humiliating, the difference between wolves and dogs is not that big.

"Really? Uh, I mean, it's such a big deer..."

The old hunter was stunned for a moment, looking at the dead deer on the ground, and said hesitantly, "It's very valuable."

"no thanks!"

Little Red Riding Hood waved her hand and said with a smile, "This deer was originally injured by you, uncle, so the Poro was able to catch it.

And...my grandma told me that when you visit someone's home, you should bring a gift!"

The old hunter listened, was silent for a while, and finally laughed:

"What a lovely child! Uncle will be more than welcome! I have stewed the venison leg tonight and will treat you well!"

"Well, thank you uncle."

Lake said in a clear voice.

Then she turned around quietly and winked at the Poro.

In front of her, pages of a book appeared that only she and the Poro could see.
