When Huck mentioned the cross around my neck, I immediately realized that I was saved, that old man Neil, he tried to control me, but unexpectedly, it helped me. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes, this is my cross, I am a Christian." As Huck had just finished speaking, I followed.
"yes, have any of you ever seen a vampire wearing a cross?" The tall man turned his face to look at Lord Neil.
"That's my cross." When Lord Neil saw this, his face trembled, and he said with some anger.
"Your cross? Lord Neil, how could your cross be on Lyle's neck? Huck poked his head out and stared at the cross around my neck, "It's a bit like it, but Lord Neil, you're really unkind, there are too many crosses similar in the world, this is on Lyle's neck, how can it be yours?" β
"I put it on." The old man was now very angry, and he shook his beard and his voice was a little low.
"Hahaha." Hearing the old man's words, almost everyone laughed, the two who had touched my hand, before this, their faces had been a little hesitant, and now, hearing the words of Master Neil, they also laughed, this smile, almost everyone relaxed, except for the old man, no one had the slightest hesitation.
"Lord Neil, how did you put the cross around Lyle's neck, and did you quietly put it on while riding?" Someone in the crowd joked.
"Hahaha. Mr. Neil is so humorousγγγγγγ The men laughed.
The old man looked angry at this, but he was helpless, I looked at him, and now, there was some defiant look in my eyes, but it was not obvious, but I knew that the old man understood what I meant.
"Don't be arrogant, vampire, soon, a doctor will come, and when the time comes, everything will fall into place." The old man said to me hatefully.
However, although those people stopped laughing when they heard his words, none of them took his words to heart.
After everyone was busy for a while, they got on the horse again and set off.
Huck and I stopped by the little pond and waited for the carriage to arrive, or rather, the town's doctor.
As his group rode away in a hurry, Hakra took me and walked slowly toward the small pond.
"Lyle, at home, I am an only son, I have no brothers and sisters, I have always wanted to recognize a brother, now, when I see you, I don't know why, I like you very much, so let's worship a brother, how about it?" He held me and said boldly as he walked carefully.
"Huck, I'd love to be your brother, but right now, I'm γγγγγγ condition"
"No, Lyle, I'm not asking you to marry me now, but I'm going to wait until you're healed." Huck heard my words and said quickly.
Huck carefully helped me towards the pond, and soon we came to the stone bench by the pond, and Huck helped me to sit down.
"Lyle, rest for a while, and it won't be long before they arrive, and when the time comes, the town's doctor will come, and we'll take you back in a carriage. Sitting on a horse, it's too bumpy, and if you're seriously injured, you might not be able to stand itγγγγγγ β
"Thank youγγγγγγ Your concern. I said.
At this moment, sitting away from humans, the danger is also far away from me. But now, there's something else in me that torments me and makes me weaker and weaker.
That cross, I had to take it away.
"Huck, we met for the first time, you said you liked me, in fact, I like you too, I have nothing to give you, now, give it to you." As I spoke, I raised my arm and carefully removed the cross that had been bothering me, and then placed it in Huck's hand, quickly taking his hand.
Almost instantly, the unbearable situation vanished. The cross was kept out of the way of me by Huck's body.
"Give me the cross?" Obviously, Huck didn't expect it.
"Yes, this is what my grandfather left for me." I lied to him, "Now, since you are my brother, give this to my good brother." β
"How good is that," said Huck, his face full of excitement, "this is γγγγγγ β
"It's okay," I continued, holding his hand, "I still have my grandmother's cross in my house, which my grandmother made for me to ask the archbishop, and now this one will be given to you, you can help me keep it, because we are brothers." I gripped his hand tightly, worried that if I let go a little, the thing would come to torment me again.
"Well, in that case, then I'll take it." So saying, he put away the cross and put it in his pocket.
At this point, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, Lyle, rest a little longer, and they'll be there later." Huck said.
Hearing Huck's words, I became alarmed, if they came, then I would be finished again.
Now, I have to go, I have to get out of here as soon as possible, this is my last chance to escape.
"Oh my God, what's that?" Just when I was anxious, I suddenly heard Huck beside me scream, and at this moment, he looked at a big tree on the opposite side of the small pond and muttered.
I followed his line of sight and was secretly taken aback.
Now, there was a horse parked under the big tree, and though the shadow of the tree was so thick that it almost obscured the horse, I saw it under Huck's gaze.
That's Lord Neil's horse.
He didn't go, the old man didn't leave here, and, right now, he's standing somewhere looking at me. I can't see him, but he must be there and watching me.
"What the hell is wrong with the lord today?" Huck was surprised by the deep affection that was still strong. "Could it be that the story of vampires fifty years ago excites him? He wants to find the shadow of the past, so he thinks of you as a vampire? Lyle, this is incredible, Lord Neil, how can this be? Huck said, utterly surprised.
I was troubled to realize that the old guy was staring at me all the time.
"Oh, your face is even paler," Huck said sympathetically seeing my nervous expression, "Lyle, I really don't know what to say, don't take it personally, I know, how can you be a vampire, this world, where are the vampires, these old guysγγγγγγ β
I frowned, it was too late, if I didn't leave, then, it would be too late, and when the time came, I would have absolutely no chance of living.
I looked up at Huck, who was sitting next to me at the moment, looking at me.
If, now, I want his life, then, I can save myself, even a little bit of blood, I can save myself, although the old man may exist in some invisible corner, but, it doesn't matter, it's just a duel of time and speed, I can take risks, I can γγγγγγγ
