Chapter 71 - Grandma's Bedtime Stories (III)

After watching all the players enter the room, "Grandma" came over and closed the door for them one by one, and gently urged them to go to bed early and get up early, not to stay up late, like a loving grandmother.

 

But this bizarre cell-like setting makes her look more like a breeder.

 

"Grandma" locked all the doors and before she closed the iron door in the corridor she added: "Be good and go to bed, Grandma will come and read you a story later, you have to stay in bed during the story, okay?"

 

"A badly behaved child can be punished by his grandmother."

 

A silence fell over the corridor with the sound of the heavy iron door closing.

 

I thought it was clear that this so-called story was not going to be a good one and that something was definitely going to happen this evening.

 

But what comes around must come around, and the three Xiao Lan's began to split up and check out the room before it was time for the story.

 

Xiao Lan's eyes glance over the bed, where, as if to welcome the grandchildren who have come from afar, there are boxes of gifts on the bedside table. But this room was clearly a double room and the bedside tables were one on each side of the two beds, but there were two presents on one of the bedside tables, the implication being that there was one for each person.

 

The choice of rooms today was made by the players themselves, and Xiao Lan and the three of them sharing a room was an impromptu decision, but the arrangement of the gift looks as if it was foreseen that three people would be staying there.

 

He reached out and picked up the gift box at the foot of the bed and looked at it carefully. There were no gaps in the box and he weighed it again; it did not look empty from the weight, but it seemed strange that no sound came out when he shook it gently.

 

"Do you know what this is?" Xiao Lan asked the other two with the gift box in hand, hoping they might know a thing or two.

 

Unfortunately, after turning the box over and over several times, Wang Taidi said he didn't know what it was either.

 

Luo also shakes his head in the same way.

 

Although nothing seemed out of the ordinary, Xiao Lan put all three boxes in the corner of the room just to be on the safe side, so that there would be a little time to react if something unexpected happened.

 

Wang Taidi picked up the floral patterned pyjamas sitting on the bed and shook them off with a disgusted look on her face, "Surely you have grandmotherly taste, this pyjama top looks exactly like my brother's when he was a kid ......"

Xiao Lan was shocked at what he heard, "Your brother ...... wears this?"

 

Wang Taidi nodded, "Yeah, my neighbour's grandmother gave it to me, and my brother was forced to wear it for a lot of photos when he was a kid. By the time I was a kid my mum even tried to fool me into wearing it, which the resourceful me turned down."

 

Even in Wang Ke's absence, Wang Taidi's instinct to turn the tables on her brother has become an instinct that is not constrained by objective factors and is activated spontaneously at this moment.

 

Xiao Lan: "......"

 

He looked at the pajama top covered in tiny pink flowers and had a mental image of an expressionless young Wang Ke wearing it and having his face reluctantly photographed. He always thought he might one day be silenced for knowing too many of Wang Ke's secrets.

 

There are only two beds in the room, and since Wang Taidi's sleeping style is disgusting even to his own brother, he sleeps alone in one bed and Xiao Lan and Luo in the other.

 

Although Luo doesn't need to sleep, he is the one who usually stands by while the two enter the game. But in the eyes of the players, Luo is a player called Fei Luo, so it's a bit weird to stay up at night and act as a mascot, so in order not to scare Wang Taidi, Luo needs to lie in bed in disguise.

 

Luckily, the bed in the room was large enough for Xiao Lan and Luo to sleep on, even though they were both quite tall.

 

Xiao Lan leaned against Luo's side, the bed was still a bit small for two big men and the two were so close that he could feel Luo's body was not as cold as before, perhaps it was the effect of absorbing the new parts?

 

It was the first time he had ever laid shoulder-to-shoulder with Luo. In 404, Xiao Lan had used him as a cushion, but only when Luo was sitting on the edge of the bed and he was pressed against Luo's back.

 

Staring at Luo's near face, Xiao Lan felt a great deal of pressure and was glad that he still had to wait for 'Grandma' to tell his story and not go to bed, otherwise he might have known what it was like to lose sleep for a long time.

 

As if sensing Xiao Lan's discomfort, Luo leaned close to him and said at a volume only two people could hear, "Sir, you can sleep against me, just think of me as a cushion."

 

After that he turned his head away from Xiao Lan and did not look at him.

 

Xiao Lan was quietly relieved not to be face to face with Luo, he didn't know what was wrong, he had seen Luo's face every day, why did he feel uncomfortable when he was up close?

 

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Lan put the cause of the problem down to the fact that he still sees too little and must exercise a little more with good-looking people when he has the chance in future.

Luo's body is made of some kind of material, it's soft and not too hard, so it's really comfortable as a cushion.

 

--

 

Xiao Lan waits in the darkness of the night.

 

Far down the silent corridor came the shuffling footsteps of the old lady, followed by the scraping sound of the heavy door being slowly opened, and then the sound of footsteps that seemed to be hovering just in front of the door to their room.

 

"Good children, it's time for Grandma's bedtime story."

 

"Come, my little darlings, help me to see that my dearest children are well in bed?"

 

The sound of "Grandma" was accompanied by the sound of small animals running through the corridor, their footsteps echoing in the corridor.

 

Soon, even Xiao Lan's room was filled with the sound of "popping" and "popping", a sound like something hovering in the room, but nothing could be seen with the naked eye.

 

Xiao Lan met the eyes of Wang Taidi on the opposite side of the bed and put one finger to his lips in a gesture of silence to Wang Taidi, who nodded and ducked under the blanket with only her curly hair and round eyes showing.

 

In a short time, the footsteps disappeared and "Grandma's" voice sounded again, "Very good, you are all obedient, Grandma will tell you a story."

 

"Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived a spider bride in the forest. She had satin black hair, jewel-like eyes, snow-white skin and delicate red lips. She waited every day to meet a lover of her own, but unfortunately she was the only spider living in the forest, so she had to travel to the areas frequented by humans."

 

"But for some reason, none of the travellers to and from the forest seem to speak; they always hurry in silence with their heads down and wrap themselves in their cloaks, which bores the Spider Bride."

 

"At last one day a passing minstrel came up the forest path, strolling through the woods in his splendid clothes, singing a wonderful song all the while, his singing voice so melodious that it enchanted the birds and captivated the spider bride."

 

"This must be my love, thought the Spider Bride. So she gathered her courage and went up to the bard to say goodbye to him, and the poet accepted her love, and they lived happily ever after."

 

"She loved her groom so much, his moving singing voice, his handsome face and his ...... soft, fresh body."

"Too bad he'll never be able to sing again, the Spider Bride thought regretfully as she rubbed her belly."

 

"Maybe it's time to find a new groom."

 

When the story was finished, the corridor was silent and no one applauded the story, but "Grandma" didn't care, she said with a smile: "Good night, my dear children, and good dreams."

This was followed by the sound of the iron door closing.

 

As the iron door fell, something seemed different in the room, and there was a vague, crisp "da" and "da" sound coming from an unknown corner of the room, seemingly far and near.

 

The sound sounds like insects with hard exoskeletons moving around.

 

It's like - the spider bride in the story.

 

Xiao Lan quickly recalled the story he had just heard and extracted the key part from it, "...... None of the travellers to and from the forest seemed to speak, they were always silent and hurrying along with their heads down and wrapped up in their cloaks, which bored the Spider Bride. "

 

With the addition of the bard being eaten behind you for comparison, silence, cloak wrapping and not letting the Spider Bride hear you and see you is the way to escape at her hands.

 

Xiao Lan met Wang Taidi's eyes and gestured at him to keep quiet, then Xiao Lan pointed to the blanket and indicated to him to cover himself in it.

 

Xiao Lan and Luo then hid under the covers and lay motionless without saying a word.

 

The trio's shape makes the room look like a morgue at first glance.

 

"Ta."

 

"Ta-da."

 

The sound grew clearer, hovering above their heads.

There is also a soft song coming from: "The love I'm looking for, are you also thinking of ...... thinking of me alone ......"

 

The song is soft and gentle, full of tenderness and longing, seeming to speak of infinite tenderness, so that one cannot help but want to soothe her sorrow and stay with her for the rest of her life.

 

And yet, knowing what happens when you fall in love with her, no one really has the head for this, either, to have a love affair that delivers vegetables across race and life and death.

 

Seemingly agitated, she hovered uncontrollably on the ceiling and walls of the room. The sound of "da-da-da" accelerated, almost in unison, and was a little agitating to the ears.

 

The three Xiao Lan men are still lying as steady as if they were corpses and have no intention of coming out.

 

After a while, the sounds in the room disappeared and it was as if the Spider Bride had never been there.

 

--

 

In the other room.

 

Xin Xin is a rookie novice who has just experienced a game.

 

He was lucky enough to be matched with a reliable veteran player for the newbie field game who took them all the way through, and all of them got through safely except for two guys who didn't listen and had to die.

 

He just followed along, dazed and dizzy, and got through without saving any useful experience.

 

But this one started off badly, with two groups of seemingly experienced players inexplicably going toe-to-toe, and no one coming to greet them, the novices, who didn't dare say anything and just watched things in silence.

 

By now, Xin Xin didn't know what to do. The story of his "grandmother" sent chills down his spine and he pulled the covers over his head and hid inside, shivering, not daring to look out to see what was going on.

 

Suddenly, he heard a "clattering" sound above his head, like a hard object striking, and it made his scalp tingle.

 

Then the sound of a woman singing came, as if she were whispering in his ear through a thin blanket. Xin Xin covered his mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound, but his body was shaking harder and harder.

I don't know how long it took, but the song seemed a little further apart and the "ta-da" sound was about to go away.

 

Xin Xin Little Xiao's relieved it's almost over ......

 

"First blood--"

 

Xin Xin's mobile phone, which was sitting on his bed, rang abruptly, and he suddenly remembered that he had set an alarm earlier to remind him to get up in the middle of the night to play volleyball today so that he could avoid the juniors and punters.

 

He'd had such a muddled few days since entering the game that he'd forgotten about it!

 

He hurriedly reached out to try to turn off the alarm clock, but the busier he got, the more mistakes he made. In his panic, his trembling hand not only failed to turn off the alarm clock, but also knocked the phone to the floor.

 

Xin Xin hastily reached out to pick it up, and his head came out from under the covers.

 

He finally grabbed the phone and then smoothly turned off the alarm clock. Xin Xin exhaled and was about to retract it, but then he noticed something white and filmy stuck to the phone. He reached up and twisted the strands, which were light and a little sticky, and appeared to be ...... spider silk.

 

That's when dark strands of hair fell down in front of his eyes, blocking his vision.

 

Xin Xin's heart went cold as he stiffened and lifted his head to meet a face with long black hair, snow-white skin, jewel-like red eyes, and delicate red lips.

 

Only the eyes have six and the red lips are filled with sharp, poisonous teeth.

 

The Spider Bride smiled at Xin Xin: "I like you so much, will you be my lover?"

 

Before Xin Xin could resist, white spider silk lunged at him, sealing his mouth, while more and more spider silk wrapped around his body, holding him immobile.

 

As he stared in horror, the spider bride's delicate, full red lips came close to his neck, her sharp, poisonous teeth piercing his skin and injecting him with toxin.

 

"My love, will always be mine ......"

Chanting a sweet love song, the spider bride finds her groom for the evening.

 

The author has something to say.

 

Xiao Lan puts the cause of this problem down to the fact that he still sees too little and must exercise a little more with good-looking people when he has the chance in future.

 

Luo: Sir, why don't I accompany you for some exercise?

 

Xiao Lan: ......
