Chapter 638: Marshall Manor

"Really, you invited us to Marshall Manor! Bard, would you like to go with us?" Bei Ye showed great interest in Hong Tao's invitation, and was a little gearing up, as if he was going on an adventure. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Then he asked Bard again, what do you say in that tone, it is less like an invitation and more like a provocation.

“…… I still have committee matters to deal with, Mr. Hong, I'll visit you another day. Bard gritted his teeth, actually tolerated Bell's face-to-face provocation, turned to get on the horse, nodded to Hong Tao, and rode away, running faster than when he came.

"He seems to be very jealous of Marshall Manor, or is it because of that incident seven years ago?" Hong Tao could see that Bud didn't want to visit his home, he didn't want to go to Marshall Manor. The reason is clear at a glance, he has never met him, and he can't talk about hatred, and he doesn't mean racial discrimination against himself, so only the tragedy of the year remains.

"I have to say that you are a very courageous person, I think you must have known the history of this estate when you bought it, but you bought it anyway. Bei Ye was even happier when he saw Bud fleeing, he was the winner this time, and the winner should show it to others, and now the only audience is Hong Tao.

"Do you still believe that there are ghosts in the world? Is this house really an evil place in everyone's eyes?" Bei Ye seems to be a Catholic, and Hong Tao is embarrassed to do anything about it. As for talking about ghosts, Hong Tao thinks that people like Bei Ye are already very kind if they don't treat ghosts as food. There are two kinds of people who have experienced life and death, one is frightened, and the other is stronger, and Bei Ye obviously does not belong to the former.

"As we walked, we said that it was called Lisa, and it was a Scottish warmblood. Bei Ye didn't answer the question about the ghost, but motioned for Hong Tao to leave the horse first, and introduced him as he walked.

The jam tart made by Gloria tasted good, and Bei Ye was very happy to eat it. is worthy of being a soldier, and the speed of eating is also comparable to Hong Tao, and the two of them put down their knives and forks almost at the same time, and then there is only his speech and Qi Rui's exclamations from time to time in the restaurant.

This guy is also a vernacular egg, his interest in pies is obviously not as big as Qi Rui and Diane, since he met these two women, he has been running the train with his mouth full, and he basically doesn't care about Hong Tao.

Diane was not interested in Bei Ye, he was not too famous at this time, but the adventure stories he told fascinated Qi Rui, and he didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and he was nervous while listening. I really didn't see that she was still so interested in extreme sports.

"I'm afraid it's the old house at Marshall Manor, the place where the accident happened has been demolished, but part of the building is still untouched, and it is said that it was the place where Applewhite's men held their ceremonies. ”

After finally finishing breakfast, Diane took Qi Rui to the supermarket in the town to buy daily necessities, and Hong Tao had the opportunity to continue to inquire about the manor, and he had to put on a bottle of whiskey for this. This is what he found in the underground cellar, there are quite a few of them, and he didn't buy them himself anyway, so he didn't drink them for nothing!

"Applewhite, is this the master or the mastermind of the mass suicide?" Hong Tao had only heard about it, but it was unclear who it was, why it did it, or how it did it.

"It used to be the estate of a councillor, and when the councillor and his wife died, it was inherited by members of the family. Their family was in the east, and they didn't like the environment very much, so they rented it half and gave it to Applewhite. His full name was Marshall Applewhite, a native of Texas who served in the military in his early years and his father was a pastor. ”

"According to the residents here, Marshall Manor was the most mysterious and lively place in town at that time. There were people standing guard inside the gate, and no outsiders were allowed to enter, but every once in a while, a lot of vehicles from other states would enter, stay inside for a few days, and then leave. ”

"But that time they didn't leave, thirty-nine people...... Hong, I heard that China also has a very mysterious belief, can you understand their approach?" Holding a wine glass and basking in the sun, but there was no warmth at all on the second-floor platform, Bei Ye said as he hugged his arms.

"Let me start by saying that there is no such belief in China, and I am an atheist. Why don't they tear down those houses, and then they will cut down the grass and eradicate them?"

Hong Tao is most annoyed by others talking about the topic of faith with himself, especially if he wants to rely on religion. Because when I think of people like the Sun God Sect and Ouyang Qing, there is no point in believing in anything.

"I hadn't bought a property in the town at the time, so I didn't usually live here. But I've heard that it seems that because of some unpleasantness with the construction of the committee and the previous owner of the estate, the manor was only half renovated and the other half was preserved. "After chatting for a long time, Bei Ye is not a landowner, and he is also hearsay about the situation in Marshall Manor.

"My family will live here in the future, will they be discriminated against or alienated by others because of this house?" Hong Tao wanted to ask this question the most, don't the whole town treat Zhang Yuanyuan's mother and daughter as monsters, then this manor will be too tricky.

"No, everyone knows what happened back then, and it's been so many years, except that the price of this manor can't go up, the people in the town don't have other ideas. Tiago is a good repairman, many families will ask him for help, and the neighbors here are still very friendly. ”

"There's a horse race in town the day after tomorrow, and then you'll be able to meet most of your neighbors. Okay, thank you for your hospitality, and Gloria's pie, I'm going to continue two more laps with Lisa. ”

"You are also welcome to my house, my house is two blocks north of you, and my surname is on the gate of the courtyard. It seems that Bei Ye also has a similar temper as Hong Tao, and he is not interested in accompanying a man to gossip, so he left after drinking half a glass of wine.

After sending off Bei Ye, Hong Tao began to wander around the house, except for Gloria and Tiago's room, almost every house had to be visited and rummaged over, until Diane and Qi Rui came back. It was concluded that many of the rooms had not been occupied, they were indeed new, they were well cleaned and tidyed, and the quality of the houses was good, the only thing missing was popularity.

For lunch, Diane gave Gloria a day off, and she and Qi Rui bought a lot of ingredients and planned to change the taste. Diane is the first stove, Hong Tao is the second stove, and Qi Rui is a miscellaneous person. A Western food and a Chinese food, a combination of Chinese and Western meals.

The taste, Gloria and Tiago nodded vigorously, and they really didn't eat less, and it seemed that they were very satisfied. Hong Tao felt that it was just like that, and he forgot about it after eating, obviously there was nothing outstanding about it.

After sleeping all day, Hong Tao was more energetic, and he planned to drive out for a walk. There was a half-used Ford in the garage, which Tiago usually purchased, and he was willing to lend it to himself. But I don't have an international driver's license, so after thinking about it, forget it, don't meet anyone from Blizzard yet, so I will go to the US police station for two days first.

"I bought tennis equipment and came back, and if you can play tennis with me, I'll take you to the supermarket in town, which sells fishing equipment, and it seems that there are fishing licenses. ”

Diane has an international driver's license and can drive in the United States, but she has the conditions, and she has to let Hong Tao play with her enough before she can do it. Qi Rui didn't count on it, she was cleaning up the pool with Gloria, planning to swim first and then sunbathe after putting the water on, a standard rotten girl.

But this tennis match, which was destined for Hong Tao to be abused by Diane, was disrupted by a phone call at the beginning, and as soon as the two of them finished warming up, Qi Rui ran over in a bikini and told Hong Tao a news that was neither good nor bad.

Ms. Feng returned to Boston because she had something important to do, and she couldn't come over for a few days. The original plan had to be revised, either she would stay here for a few more days, or she would go to Blizzard first, and she would have the driver come over.

"It's better for you to contact Blizzard, just say we'll be there tomorrow, it's not far from Irvine, Rui Rui, you go and call to rent a bigger car, and we'll drive ourselves." "Hong Tao doesn't want to delay here for a long time, there are still a lot of things at home, even if it is good here, it is not at ease.
