Chapter 57: Fishing
The town of Harrods has a new feeling after a rain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When the sun shines on this town again, many people choose to be outdoors. Yes, you can go fishing and even go on a trip to the nearby countryside.
There are very few immigrants in the town. So when you have a foreigner, it's particularly eye-catching. A foreigner in a top hat, dressed in a suit, although somewhat out of place in such weather. But he couldn't see that he couldn't stand the heat, and he walked into the town very calmly.
Because he was a foreigner, when he walked into the café, the few people in the café looked at him. The stranger walked up to the counter, looked at it, and said, "A cup of coffee, a matcha cookie." ”
"Please sit over there, the waiter will bring it to you soon!" The chubby woman at the counter rolled her eyes at him, and this person was a little uncomfortable. It is...... It's weird, like a retro person, old-fashioned. But depending on the age, he is still relatively young, in his thirties.
The man was not angry, so he walked to the booth, sat down against the window, put his top hat on the seat beside him, and looked out the window as he surveyed the town carefully.
"Sir, your coffee, and matcha cookies!" A slender waitress came over, brought what he ordered, and looked at him with a blank face, "Twenty-seven dollars in total!" ”
"Of course!" The man took out a wallet from the pocket of his suit, took out the money, and put it on the tray for thirty dollars: "No need to look for it, thank you!" He nodded, and stopped looking at the waiter.
The waiter left with a blank face.
The man didn't care about the waiter's attitude at all, and the tip just now looked a little stingy. But his attention was always on the outside of town. It's a small town, and he doesn't look any different. He sipped his coffee slowly, refilled the glass, and finally finished the cookie before wandering around the town.
It's just that a foreigner came to the town, and he was a person who behaved a little strangely, which was a little news. After the zombie incident, although it didn't go viral on the surface, it still made people wary of all external things when they talked about it in private.
"I know this man!" When talking about this at Joseph's house, Lisa interjected and said, "It may be the Hill that Elizabeth said." But I don't know...... Lisa wasn't there for the man last night, but Lisa did like him. ”
"Got in love with him? Oh, my God! How is this possible? Joseph opened his mouth and looked at Jia Huan, who was sitting and drinking tea, and said, "What do you think?" ”
"It's a girl's business, I don't care about that. As for whether Elizabeth was injured because of that person, I don't know. Let Lisa ask Elizabeth later, maybe she'll want to see him too. Jia Huan said lightly, as if it really didn't matter much about this person.
Elizabeth used Jia Huan's medicine and estimated that she would get better after a week. Now the situation is much better than last night, at least there is no such severe pain as broken bones.
"I think Elizabeth is very brave, and if I were her, I would have liked that man, a very gentlemanly man." Lisa glared at Jia Huan a little unconvinced, snorted and said, "At least I think the person who hurt Elizabeth is definitely not that person, why don't you ask yourself?" ”
Joseph shook his head and smiled. looked at Jia Huan and said, "Are you going to meet Elizabeth?" ”
"No, I'm going to go fishing." Jia Huan laughed, "With such good weather, why don't you go fishing in the lake?" Do you want to be together? ”
"Of course, I'm thinking now about when I'll be able to retire." Joseph clapped his hands in agreement, "We can use Cotter's boat, his dinghy has always been parked not far from the dock by the lake. If it weren't for Elizabeth's current situation, we could have invited him along! ”
"I'll go back and get my fishing rod first." Jia Huan got up and went out.
Lisa rolled her eyes at his back, this guy was so really angry, he deliberately didn't look at himself during the whole process, and even when he left, he didn't glance at himself, which really made people hate it.
Langdon Lake is the largest lake in the area, and from a distance, it seems to be as far as the eye can see. The water is sparkling, and the woods and meadows by the lake are verdant and verdant, and it is refreshing to look at it from a distance.
Jia Huan didn't row a boat to the middle of the lake to fish like Joseph. Not far from the pier, he moved a small stool and sat down, with the fishing rod set up on the wooden pier.
"Looks like you haven't gained much yet." Suddenly, a voice came from his side, and someone spoke.
Jia Huan, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes, turned his head slightly, and saw a person standing next to him, wearing a top hat and a dark suit, but there was no expression on his face, and he even looked a little gloomy.
"I've heard of you, Huan? Jia, I heard that there used to be zombies here, and many people said that you released it...... And then also saved the people here. The man was still standing, and the wind on the lake blew his suit against him.
Jia Huan nodded and smiled slightly: "It seems that you have also done some investigation, but ...... The people of this town are not very welcoming to outsiders, they are a little scared. ”
"Is Elizabeth okay?" The man ignored Jia Huan's words and continued, "You are the one who saved her later, right?" I want to know...... How did you do that? Let that Lamia flee quickly. You're the first person. ”
"Lamia?" Jia Huan turned his head in some surprise and looked at the person in front of him, "It seems that you know the monster in this lake very well." Lamia? It's a strange name. Are there any peculiarities? ”
This time it was the person's turn to be surprised, and he couldn't help but look at Jia Huan twice and said, "You really don't know? After saying that, he laughed, shook his head, and continued: "In Greek mythology, Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Rabi, the most intelligent and beautiful woman of Libya, gave birth to a daughter. The name is Lamia. She was the queen of the Libyan state, but unfortunately...... Zeus seduced her. But Hera, the queen of Zeus, found out and turned Lamia into a half-human, half-snake monster. And it's a monster who likes to eat children. ”
"Very good story, but ...... That's just a myth, isn't it? Jia Huan looked at him and smiled, "I don't think you are definitely a messenger sent by Zeus or Hera." ”
The man nodded and smiled, his cold face finally melted a little, nodded and said, "Yes, that's just a myth, in the European world, everyone knows it's a myth." But...... Last night we saw it, a half-human, half-snake monster, so ...... Myths may not exist, but monsters do. ”
"So...... Let me guess your identity. Jia Huan said with a deep voice, "Pastor? I've met exorcists before, and in general, they're church pastors. Their way of exorcism is simple, that is, by singing hymns. ”
The man couldn't help but laugh and said, "If I can use the hymn to drive away the half-human, half-snake monster, why did I bother so much last night?" Can you imagine me as Dean? Someone like Winchester. But people like you will definitely not watch a film like "Evil Force". Actually, I don't like it either. ”
"Ciel? Steven? Jia Huan suddenly said his name directly, "Actually, I want to know why you got involved with Elizabeth." I really don't believe you're going to really fall in love with such a little girl. She's just a little girl to you. ”
"Why not?" Hill? Steven looked at Jia Huan and smiled, "She's a very cute girl, isn't she?" ”
Jia Huan shook his head, changed the topic and said, "Your story is not over yet. ”
"Did you say Lamia?" Hill? Steven nodded, "The story really doesn't end. In fact, although Lamia is only a myth, there is a story that has been passed down that she once fell in love with a young man and gave birth to a child, that is, ...... She has a blood line that has been passed down. ”
"You're smart, I don't care what you're trying to do to that monster, I can tell you, don't hurt Elizabeth, even if she's just a tool for you!" Jia Huan said, as soon as he lifted the fishing rod, a fish was caught.
Hill? Steven's smiling face stiffened a little, and when Jia Huan took the fish off, he saw that the hook was straight.
