Chapter Eleven The Bearskin

Lu Yi and Aiya accelerated, and they headed eastward and rushed to a small town, it was almost dark.

"You can't leave anymore, find a hotel to stay in." Lu Yi said.

They first walked around the town, found a store selling food, bought some bread, sausages and cheese, and it became completely dark. Lu Yi and Aiya realized that this was a very old town, with no electricity and of course no electric lights. Walking on the dark and strange street, both of them suddenly missed home, but neither of them was willing to go back like this, and the task had not been completed yet!

When they saw a hotel on the street, they walked in.

"Stay in a hotel?" the store owner asked.

"Yes, is there a room for two people?"

"Yes," the boss held the candle and led them to a room, "The big bed in this room is enough for you two to live in."

The room was quite spacious, but the light was very dark, and there was a simple but large bed, so it was fine to sleep with three adults.

"How much?"

"Ten silver coins."

"Can you be cheaper?" Lu Yi felt it was a bit expensive.

"No!" The boss's attitude was very stiff.

Lu Yi thought about it and found that there was only one hotel in the town, so he had no choice but to give the shop owner ten silver coins. The boss brought another candle for them to light and put it on the table, and then closed the door and went out.

Lu Yi and the others immediately jumped onto the bed and lay down comfortably to rest. After walking for a day, they were tired.

"Ah! I only realized how comfortable it is to have a bed after sleeping in a tent!" Aiya stretched her body into a word "big" and lay on the bed.

After resting for a while, I became energetic again. After eating around the candle, I saw that the candle was almost gone, so I quickly washed up and prepared to go to bed.

The hotel toilet is in a corner outside, and Aiya complained: "What a broken hotel? It's so expensive, you can get to the yard if you go to the toilet." Although she didn't want to go, she still had to go out.

After a while, Aiya ran back nervously, closed the door and whispered: "It's so scary. I saw a big bear. No, it seems to be a man in bear's skin!"

Lu Yi said: "Don't talk nonsense, are you confused?"

"No, although it was dark, I could see clearly that he walked into the innermost room." Aiya was a little worried, "Is this a black shop?"

Lu Yi said: "Don't be afraid, go to bed quickly."

Despite this, he got out of bed, tied the door, checked the window. After going to bed, he found the Knight's summoning card and put it under the pillow before going to bed.

Although they were a little scared, the two fell asleep quickly. When they fell asleep, they were awakened by a miserable cry. They couldn't help but feel curious. They got out of bed and quietly opened the door and looked out. They happened to see a man in bear's skin walking into the room where crying sounds came! The two were so scared that they quickly closed the door and tied it up again.

"Can he eat people?" Aiya whispered.

"Shh!" Lu Yi signaled not to speak.

At this time, they heard a voice from the room: "Old man, don't run away, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Can you tell me why you cry? I can help you."

The crying stopped, and an old man said, "My three daughters and I can't afford the hotel money. The store owner will send us to jail tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'll pay for you." After saying that, the man walked out of the room.

"I understand, this is the 'bear skin man'," Lu Yi said. "I know this story. When the Bear skin man comes back, the old man should be betrothed one of his three daughters to the Bear skin man, but only his youngest daughter is willing to marry the Bear skin man."

Sure enough, when the Bearskin came back, the old man wanted to betroth one of his three daughters to the Bearskin. He called out the three daughters and asked the Bearskin to choose one of his wife.

Lu Yi and the others heard a girl say, "People who can help others must be good people. They cannot judge people by their appearance, but by their hearts. Father, I promise to be his wife."

The bear skin man said: "I can't marry you as a wife now. I still have three years of suffering. I will definitely come back in three years to marry you as a wife."

After saying that, the bearskin left the hotel overnight.

The hotel became quiet, and Lu Yi and Aiya climbed onto the bed again and prepared to go to bed.

"What happened later?" Aiya couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Later, the bear skin man came back, of course," said Lu Yi. "He took off the bear skin and turned into a handsome and mighty young man, married the young daughter, and lived a happy life."

"The ending of such a story is generally very satisfactory," said Aiya.

"But," Lu Yi said again: "Her two sisters ended up miserably. Because of regret and shame, one jumped into the well and the other hanged it."

"Ah! Not that." Aiya said, "This is too miserable. Can we help them and change the ending? Just like helping the prince consort."

"Help them..." Lu Yi thought for a while and said, "We have no way to stop what happened three years later. Let's do this. Let's remind them tomorrow morning. As for whether it works, we can only leave it to fate."

The next morning, before leaving the hotel, Lu Yi and Ai Ya came to the old man's room and knocked on the door. The old man opened the door and Lu Yi said, "We want to meet your eldest and second daughters and have something to say to them."

When the old man saw that it was two children, he let them in with confidence and asked the two daughters to come out.

"We are here to remind you something." Lu Yi and the two daughters of old men said, "Life is the most precious. No matter what you did wrong or missed, don't give up your life at will. You must remember that in three years, no matter what you encounter, no matter what you encounter, don't let regret and shame be lost and the soul is stolen by the devil."

"You must remember!" Aiya also said.

The old man and his two daughters watched Lu Yi and Aiya leave the hotel in a daze.

Shortly after leaving the city, when passing by a forest, Lu Yi and Aiya vaguely heard the sound of dingdong and cutting trees. Following the sound, they saw that the tree was cut by a woodcutter, and there was a child next to him who was helping, probably his son.

"Let's go, what's the best thing about cutting trees?" Aiya whispered, turning around and leaving.

"Wait, maybe there is a story!" Lu Yi grabbed Aiya one by one and whispered.

When the woodcutter was resting, the woodcutter's son walked alone towards the deep forest. Lu Yi pulled Aiya and followed the woodcutter's son from afar. He saw him stopping under a scary thick oak tree. He looked at the oak tree carefully and seemed to hear something. After a while, he dug out a bottle underground, opened the bottle stop, and released a monster from the bottle!

Soon, the monster became as big as a tree, and was clamoring to break the woodcutter's son's neck.

The woodcutter's son said, "You are so big and the bottle is so small. I don't believe you came out of this bottle."

The monster said, "Okay, I'll open your eyes!"

As he said that, the monster shrank and got into the bottle.

The woodcutter's son stuffed the bottle into the jar and threw the bottle back under the roots of the tree.

The monster shouted: "Please, let me out!"

Unable to resist the monster's begging, the woodcutter's son released the monster for the second time. This time the monster gave the woodcutter's son a piece of cloth. He said that if you use the front of the cloth to wipe the wound, the wound will heal immediately; if you use the back of the cloth to wipe things like steel, it will immediately turn into gold.

The woodcutter's son cut the bark of a big tree and wiped it with a cloth. The wound on the bark immediately healed.

It's actually true!

The monster disappeared soon. Lu Yi and Aiya quietly followed the woodcutter's son back to his father's place. The woodcutter's son wiped the axe with a cloth, and the axe turned into a golden axe.

Seeing all this, Lu Yi and Ai Ya were shocked. Ai Ya whispered: "I'd love if we had that piece of cloth."
