The old carpenter kindly took in Gu Wenyu and the others, and the beautiful Lingyu even changed into the old carpenter's clothes.
Gu Wenyu gave the little girl's only basket of matches to the old carpenter and performed a magic trick of "turning into a turkey".
Of course, this is a turkey imagined by Andy's ability, but it is actually edible.
Pinocchio clapped his hands when he saw it, "Wow! That's amazing!"
But then he became confused again, "Since you can turn into a turkey, why are you still hungry?"
Gu Wenyu smiled and did not answer the question directly, but laughed: "Because the turkey can't be eaten until Christmas night!"
When the old carpenter saw this situation, he somewhat restrained his smile, and looked at Gu Wenyu with a strange look.
Pinocchio didn't realize it. He pestered Gu Wenyu and asked: "Then what else will you change?"
Gu Wenyu thought for a while and then summoned the bald ladle.
A sapling with only two leaves appeared in front of Pinocchio.
Bald Lao shook the leaves, took two steps back, and stood next to Gu Wenyu.
"Wow! It's amazing! It can move! It's made of wood, just like me!" Pinocchio clapped his hands happily.
Gu Wenyu was also laughing, "But it can't speak, unlike you, you are a real boy."
The old carpenter's face finally lost its expression, and he asked nervously: "Who are you?"
Gu Wenyu said sincerely: "People come here because of their reputation."
The old carpenter frowned, and he pulled Pinocchio to his side, "Don't even think about taking Pinocchio away."
"Take Pinocchio away? Why should we take Pinocchio away?" Gu Wenyu had a question mark on his head.
The old carpenter asked doubtfully: "Aren't you here to take away Pinocchio?"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Pinocchio also looked puzzled.
Gu Wenyu understood clearly, "You mean, someone wants to take Pinocchio away?"
The old carpenter looked at Gu Wenyu silently, as if he wanted to see something from her face, then looked at Ling Yu and Huo Huo, and finally his eyes rested on Ling Yu, the only adult.
"Are you really here to take away Pinocchio?"
Gu Wenyu said sincerely: "Of course not, we want to ask grandpa to help with the carving."
The old carpenter looked at Gu Wenyu and then at Ling Yu, a little confused.
Lingyu pointed at Gu Wenyu and said calmly: "Listen to her."
Only then did the old carpenter confirm that the little girl in front of him was the eldest among the three.
"Hey~" the old carpenter sighed, "I may not be able to do anything about carving or anything. I already plan to take Pinocchio out of here."
"Leave here?" Gu Wenyu was shocked at first, but soon understood, and she continued: "If someone wants to take Pinocchio away, we can help."
The old carpenter shook his head, "Don't bother, you can't help with this matter."
"Tell me first. The sister next to me is also very powerful. Maybe she can help you fight off those people." Gu Wenyu pointed at Lingyu. Her look of keeping strangers away was quite convincing.
"Grandpa, is he that weirdo?" Pinocchio seemed to have remembered something and asked anxiously.
The old carpenter touched Pinocchio's head and said firmly: "Grandpa will not let him take you away."
"What weirdo?" Gu Wenyu asked.
The old carpenter sighed, "That's an evil wizard. He took a fancy to the child's puppet body."
"Grandpa." Pinocchio got into his grandfather's arms with some fear. He could obviously guess the consequences of being taken away by the evil wizard.
"Wizard? Is he in the city?" Gu Wenyu asked.
"He is in the forest in the western suburbs."
"That's it..." Gu Wenyu touched his chin and went to kill the wizard. It shouldn't be difficult.
I just don't know how to ask the old carpenter for help. Isn't it because I fell asleep and hit the pillow?
If they help the old carpenter get rid of the evil wizard, then the old carpenter owes them a favor. It should be fair to exchange a favor for a fox body.
When the old carpenter saw that Gu Wenyu was silent, he waved his hand again and said, "Hey, you can't control this matter. After dinner, just leave quickly, so as not to cause trouble to you."
After hearing this, Gu Wenyu said confidently: "Grandpa, we can take care of this matter! Don't worry, we will go to the western suburbs forest tonight, tie up the wizard and bring him back to you."
The old carpenter's eyes widened and he thought he heard wrongly.
"Kid, you can't be a hero in this matter. The wizard is not a character you can mess with."
"It's okay grandpa, my sister is very powerful, she must be more powerful than the wizard." Gu Wenyu smiled very confidently.
"Child, you haven't seen that wizard..." The old carpenter wanted to persuade him again.
"It's okay, don't worry about us." Gu Wenyu interrupted the old carpenter and then made her request, "Grandpa, if we help you solve the problem of the evil wizard, can you carve something for us?"
"If you can really deal with the evil wizard, let alone carving one thing, you can carve ten things or a hundred things." The old carpenter said a little excitedly.
Gu Wenyu smiled and shook his head, "But this thing needs to be carved from the wood you used to carve Pinocchio. Do you still have that kind of wood?"
When the old carpenter heard this, he became alert again, "What do you want to carve?"
"A fox, a flexible fox, like Pinocchio."
As Gu Wenyu's words fell, the white-faced fox in the spiritual world couldn't sit still. She suddenly understood Gu Wenyu's intention, which was obviously to help her find a physical body.
But the old carpenter looked troubled, "Pinocchio is the fairy's magic, he cannot copy it."
"Maybe I know the fairy?" Gu Wenyu smiled and said: "Do you still have that kind of wood? I just need that kind of wood-carved fox body. As for the fairy, I will find it."
Gu Wenyu's idea was simple. As long as there was a fox body carved out of wood, the white-faced fox would be a fairy. If Xiaobai's soul had a suitable body to live in, the wooden fox would come alive.
The old carpenter was still a little embarrassed. He gestured in front of him and said, "There is still a small piece. At most, it can only carve a fox as big as this."
Gu Wenyu took a look at the size of the old carpenter's sign. It was less than twenty centimeters in length. Such a big wooden fox must have been just born...
"Okay, we'll set off tonight. If it's convenient for you, let's start work as soon as possible." Gu Wenyu made her decision. What she had been thinking before was that it was more than she had imagined.
"This... how about we go after the festival." The old carpenter still seemed a little worried.
"It's okay, we'll set off after dinner." Gu Wenyu couldn't wait any longer. Everything was clear. Even if she wasn't in a hurry, the white-faced fox would be.
At this time, the white-faced fox's voice sounded in Gu Wenyu's mind, "Is this feasible? I have never heard of a wooden body. You should just honestly look for the things I want."
Gu Wenyu: "Have you ever seen a wooden boy?"
White-faced Fox: "No."
Gu Wenyu: "Boys carved from wood can become real people. Why can't we borrow a wooden body? This is a fairy tale world. Maybe there is something you haven't heard of. Let's try it. I'll give you what you want.
