Chapter 36: The Witch of Haidongqing(1/2)
St. Andrews, located in northern Scotland, is named after the burial place of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland.
At a manor not far from the town, an old Ford car stopped, and then a group of young men and women got out of the car.
The car was rented, and the driver drove away slowly after that.
The man and woman look very young. The man wears a gray scarf around his neck, and the woman has short white hair.
They looked at the entrance to the manor.
The manor looks like it has not been inhabited for a long time, the walls are covered with moss, and the iron gate of the gate is also mottled with rust.
There are no unnecessary buildings nearby, and there is only a forest in front of it. The road is winding through the forest, and you can see the North Sea not far away.
Because it has already entered spring, the manor is surrounded by a thick layer of dead leaves, and the smell of earth mixed with the smell of the sea fills every inch of the land.
The girl with short gray hair... Nero yawned at this moment and gestured to look out. This place was chosen by the maid lady, but it was not until she arrived that she realized that the area covered here was a bit beyond her expectation, "This is also
It’s too big…”
"I heard it seems to be one of Miss Youye's properties..." The young man wearing a scarf next to him raised his head and looked at a tall tower in the manor. After a while, he sighed and said: "Damn it.
rich……"
"One..." Miss Nero next to her heard this and moved her lips slightly.
What should I say?
Although she was once one of the twelve divine generals of the Michael Club and had quite a lot of funds for activities that could be used every year, for the divine generals, improving their strength was the only way, and there was no such thing as too much money.
The big feeling is that when faced with the description of 'one', Miss Nero still couldn't help but reveal a hint of poverty.
Dazhe cheered up and said, "Let's go. The boss should be here a few days before school starts. Miss Youye said that the place should be cleaned before then."
Miss Nero curled her lips and yawned: "What's the hurry? We still have a whole month! I think there is a nice place in the town. How about we go and have a drink?"
Dazhe doesn't care about drinking. "I don't care. I'm really not in a hurry with the cleaning work... But are you really okay? I'm afraid you don't have enough time... Have you copied the book?"
"Can you please stop telling such a sad story..."
"Let's clean up first."
Dazhe smiled, then picked up Nero's back collar and dragged her into the manor.
…
…
The alarm rang at eight o'clock.
Chen Mingming opened his eyes. The curtains were closed tightly, but the desk lamp was still on. He sat up straight, pinched his eyebrows, and fell asleep on the table that night.
He glanced at the sketchbook, then closed it and put it back in the drawer.
After taking a shower, Chen Mingming opened the wardrobe. The clothes inside were only two simple colors, and they were plain clothes without patterns. They were black and white and arranged neatly.
As usual, after washing up, Chen Mingming started making breakfast for himself.
The slippers placed at the entrance of the living room were not moved. Without knocking on his mother's door, Chen Mingming knew that the fact that she did not come back all night was not because of his mother's disorderly life, but because she devoted almost all her enthusiasm to her work.
At this time, Chen Mingming's phone rang, and it was Zhou Yusheng calling.
It could be heard that Zhou Yusheng's voice was a little tired.
"About you, I took the time to discuss it with your mother yesterday..."
Chen Mingming sat quietly and looked at the clock on the wall directly opposite.
"...Listen, you are an adult and can choose freely. Even your mother cannot force you to do things you don't like. Obviously, did you hear me?"
Chen Mingming said: "You, you also worked all night last night, right?"
Zhou Yusheng on the other end of the phone was startled, frowned and said: "There has been a big case recently, and I am very anxious. I am not the only one working overtime."
Chen Mingming said calmly: "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet...don't interrupt first. This matter cannot be done according to your mother's wishes!"
"Go and eat something. After staying up all night, it's better to eat something liquid. It's good for your stomach."
"I told you not to interrupt, I'm just telling you something again... Hey! Hello?"
Clicking on the airplane mode with his finger, Chen Mingming finished his breakfast bit by bit, then cleaned up by himself, washed the dishes, drained the water and put it back in the cupboard.
Go out as usual.
…
"Morning! Hi hi!"
In front of the entrance door of the community, a pretty shadow suddenly jumped into Chen Mingming's sight...it was Tara.
Chen Mingming looked at the girl in surprise.
Spring has come, and the weather has become much warmer. Tara put on a skirt today, with her legs straight and wrapped in thick long cotton stockings. Then she put on a white coat and held a cup of coffee in her hand.
"Why do you know I live here?" Chen Mingming asked curiously.
Tara lifted her bangs and said with a proud smile: "Didn't I tell you that I am a monster? Monsters are omnipotent, don't you know? I said yesterday that I came to see you today. How about it?
I keep my promise, right?"
Chen Mingming said calmly: "Have you made a promise?"
Tara came forward, and the enthusiastic girl naturally put her hand on Chen Mingming's arm, "I have no classes today, so I will stay with you all day. Tomorrow you will stay with me all day. Then I will have to work on Saturdays and Sundays, and next Monday
I have classes on Tuesday and Sunday and review to prepare for the exam.”
Chen Mingming opened his mouth and frowned.
Tara whispered: "I will accompany you to find that person, and you...accompany me on the date."
Chen Mingming lowered his head and thought for a while, "Where to look for it? The school has already looked for it. I don't know anything else."
"When looking for someone, you must go to a place with a lot of people." Tara blinked and said, "There is a food festival in Dongle Plaza today. There are a lot of people. There may be a chance. I will accompany you to find it!"
"No, I still have to go to class." Chen Mingming shook his head.
Tara hugged his arm and walked forward. The girl's voice was unmistakable, "You want to go abroad, what classes are you going to take? Come, follow me, I will definitely make you full... Well,
Find someone!"
Life...is disrupted again.
…
In front of the teaching building.
"This is what you want."
Zhao Le turned his head away, but still handed the thing out with his hand... There were beads of sweat on his forehead. For the thing in his hand, he had to get up early and drive for a long time, running all the way before he could barely catch up.
It's time.
Dong Shaofeng smiled, opened the bag and took a look, "It's not bad. I even brought it with me in a thermal box. If I have a future... I'll see you if I have anything to do."
With that said, Dong Shaofeng carried the bag and walked up the stairs of the teaching building.
Zhao Le sighed, lowered his head and planned to leave.
But the other two teammates stretched out their hands to stop him at this moment, "Classmate Zhao Le, don't leave in such a hurry, do you want to do something for me?"
Zhao Le raised his head and said angrily: "You guys, don't go too far...you!"
One of the students raised his phone at this moment. A photo on the phone made Zhao Le breathe quickly. He subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but another person stopped him and grabbed him.
"You...what do you want!!"
The student holding the mobile phone raised his chin, and the student who grabbed Zhao Le let go. At the same time, he took out several stacks of homework books from his schoolbag and patted Zhao Le, "Top students, these
We need to use the homework in the next class, so I’ll leave it to you to do it well~ What? You won’t do it? Take it!”
Zhao Le gritted his teeth and grabbed the homework book tightly.
"By the way, the teaching office wants us to write some self-criticisms. You'd better write ours and Mr. Feng's as well." His teammate sneered, then patted Zhao Le's face with his mobile phone, "
Come on...little puppy."
The two left with a smile.
…
…
In front of the square, there was a sea of people and the smell of food was everywhere.
Tara held two skewers in her hands and was eating them with relish. She seemed to have forgotten that Chen Mingming was beside her, and looked excitedly back and forth at various stalls.
I would only say a few words to Chen Mingming when I said, ‘Wow, this is delicious!’, ‘This looks good too!’, ‘I can’t eat it anymore!’.
Chen Mingming shook his head, supported Tara while watching the stall owner making food, turned around, and left the crowd.
Maybe if she hadn't suddenly barged in during his plan, she wouldn't have felt such an incongruity... He thought to himself.
To find that person?
To be continued...
