The Inky Night Clan Chapter 1 Amber Manor
wedge
The vast blue-gray Gobi Desert, the barren land where no grass grows, it is so desolate, cold and solemn but tragic and vast that people want to shed tears.
The remnants of the sun were like blood rendering gray and yellow clouds, and they rolled like raging waves. Where is this? Luo Lan looked around?
The sky suddenly snowed heavily, and the howling cold wind mixed with the thick snow swept towards Luo Lan, who struggled to resist the heavy snow and fog but suddenly saw a bend of orange moon floating strangely on the monotonous cold white sky.
"Can you still run?" A cold voice came, and Luo Lan was frightened. Immediately, she felt someone grab her throat, "Let go of me!" Let go of ......" Luo Lan struggled hard, shouting, but she couldn't make a sound, she thought dizzily: I'm going to die! Out of breath......"
Luo Lan woke up from the nightmare and found that the sweat oozing from her back was sticky to her clothes, and it seemed that there was a damp and cold snake lying on her back. There was light in front of her, and she was lying on the soft bed in her bedroom, but it was just a dream.
Amber Manor
It's a vast land, and if you come to it, you'll be amazed at how pristine and quiet it is, and you'll be amazed by the variety of plants that grow in the endless green fields.
Through a smooth road surrounded by dense trees on both sides, and over a small green hill, the Amber Estate immediately appeared before our eyes.
It is a tall gray-white building that elegantly stands on a smooth green meadow, and the three rows of huge windows on it are neatly arranged and glitter in the bright sunlight, as if proudly displaying its unusual identity.
Walking into the tall and spacious halls of the Amber Manor, you will be captivated by its beauty. The translucent beige floor looks smooth like water from afar, and the lower part of the romantic wall is the same brown as the floor, and the upper half is a bright light gray.
Four unusual columns stand majestically and elegantly in the living room, three of which are composed of light brown and brown blends, and stand side by side in front of the clear blue window, while another intricately carved opalescent Ionic column stands gracefully at the other end of the living room like a free and beautiful lady.
Although it was close to dusk, the sky was still clear and clear, and the pure, pure blue seemed to seep through the window, giving the room a faint layer of dreamlike tranquility.
Luo Shen's study is simple and simple, with a tall and heavy mahogany bookcase of great value standing upright on the wall, and a large thick square desk made of mahogany is placed in front of the bookcase, on which are placed a few books and a delicate retro table lamp with a circle of bosoter chains.
On the opposite wall hung two large oil paintings, in which two cracked off-white vases depicting cyan flowers and leaves stood silently.
At this moment, Luo Shen was sitting behind the large desk staring at the black box in his hand, the box was very exquisite, but the age seemed to be very old, and the patent leather on the box surface had faded a lot.
The pale golden sunlight of the setting sun shone into the room, and also shone on Luo Shen's lifeless and pale face, making the sunken half of his cheeks highlight gray shades.
The light outside the window suddenly dimmed, the sunlight disappeared all at once, and the room was dark and silent. Luo Shen seemed to be taken aback, but when he found out that it was just the sun going down and twilight falling, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's time." Luo Shen muttered. He opened the box in his hand, and an unfathomable black gem embedded in rainbow blue neon colors sparkled in the box.
The moon hanging in the blackened blue night sky was round and large, unusually bright and dazzling. The bright moonlight shines through the window, illuminating the study as bright as day.
Luo Lan walked into the study, she was Luo Shen's daughter, beautiful, intelligent, and polite.
"It's ......"
Luo Lan was stunned to see a black gem floating in a piece of silver-white moonlight that shimmered through the window.
"Is this a dream?" Before Luo Lan could exclaim, he saw a scorching light suddenly penetrate the gem, and Luo Lan suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, and he lost consciousness.
Life has always been so normal, every day is the same.
The servants of the Amber Manor began to clean the halls, living rooms, study rooms, and corridors of the Amber Manor early in the morning...... Wipe every nook and cranny spotlessly, replace with fresh and fragrant flowers, and prepare a rich breakfast...... Every morning is their busiest time, and the Don Kee steward must carefully check to make sure everything is safe.
The maid Lin Shuang walked in and opened the curtains to let the sunlight shine warmly into the room, and then Luo Lan began to freshen up, and after several hesitations, Luo Lan was able to choose clothes and jewelry to match the outfit.
Luo Lan walked into the restaurant with a radiant look, and he would see Luo Yun and Luo Le, who also looked refreshed.
At breakfast, his father Luo Shen was as engrossed in reading the newspaper as ever, while his mother began to mention the marriage of the three sisters, the Wen brothers, the Ge brothers, and Mu Hui...... She always had to mention the young man in the neighborhood.
But in Luo Lan's memory, she has always lived with her father, how can she have a mother and sisters? Is this another dream? She's been having weird dreams! Luo Lan had a splitting headache.
"Miss, Miss Luo Lan!" Luo Lan finally woke up from his dream.
Lin Shuangzheng looked at Luo Lan with a smile, she was a simple young girl, her short light brown hair was pressed behind her ears in a regular manner, and under her faint barely visible eyebrows were a pair of eyes that were not big or small.
She's lovely, longley, and empathetic. She opened the curtains, and the first rays of sunlight of the morning immediately cast bright patches on the ground.
"It's still a good day." Lin Shuang said with a smile.
Indeed, the sky is dazzlingly clear, and the thick blue of the sky is so pure that it seems to stand still in time. The golden sunlight bathed the distant groves like green mist.
"What happened?" Luo Lan said in confusion, she remembered that an extremely bright light pierced her eyes, yes! It was the sudden bright light of that gem!
"Where's the gem?"
"Gems?" Lin Shuang was confused, "Is this what you are talking about?" I picked it up in the corner of the bed. She handed Luo Lan something, and Luo Lan couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the thing in Lin's hands, what kind of gem is this, it's just a black stone.
Every corner of the Amber Manor shimmers with a jewel-like sheer light.
The golden sunlight shines through the crystal-like windows on the clean and shiny floor, and the warm and smooth pillars make the whole living room beautifully decorated on the walls, and the precious famous paintings are painted with dazzling and brilliant gold.
An elegant trellis stands quietly next to the dark flower carved white marble arch leading to the hallway of the living room, and the purple mixed with white, light blue flowers on the trellis add more elegance and nobility to the living room.
The delicate small figurines on the shelves, the porcelain figures, the vases, the emerald evergreen branches hanging low on the shelves, and the huge floor-to-ceiling windows with a glimpse of the blue sky, lawns, green trees, and verdant shrubs, and the elegantly placed rose gray sofa not far from the window, a few gold-painted soft chairs can easily attract people's attention.
Mrs. Luo is a beautiful woman, although she is middle-aged, her skin is still moist and elastic after years of careful maintenance.
Her personality is cold, as can be seen in her pale black eyes and thin, tightly closed lips, which seem to tell everyone that her master is calm and not easily swayed by emotions. At this moment, Mrs. Luo was wearing a dark purple dress, and the silky and shiny texture set off her more elegant and noble.
Luo Lan almost jumped up when she saw Mrs. Luo. "You ......" Luo Lan looked at her in a daze, speechless.
Mrs. Luo frowned and looked at Luo Lan's casual clothes, "Are you going to go to the wedding like this?" ”
"Wedding?" Luo Lan was a little dazed.
"Mrs. Lu's youngest daughter is getting married today."
"She's already married, why is she married again?" Luo Lan asked casually. As far as she knew, Mrs. Lu's eldest daughter married out of town, and the younger daughter married Mrs. Ge's eldest son.
"You're really ill-informed." Luo Yun and Luo Le also walked in, Luo Yun sneered,
"She had just divorced Mrs. Ge's eldest son in order to marry again. She is suddenly inspired by a passing man, who is said to be a distant nephew of Madame Ge. Luo Yun sneered, "Anything is possible." ”
Luo Yun and Luo Le are twin sisters, but they don't look like each other at all, Luo Yun has nothing to show off, she is thin, her facial features are mediocre, and her eyes always seem to be listless that she can't open. Luo Le is more beautiful and has a softer personality. She is obsessed with raising flowers and grass.
Luo Lan was stunned, that's right, they are Luo Lan's sisters. But...... But...... Her mother, sister...... Luo Lan is sure that she has never lived with them, and she only has her father who depends on her in her life......
Father....... maybe he could tell Luo Lan what it was all about? Mrs. Luo looked at Luo Lan suspiciously, "What's wrong with you?" Your father just left Amber Manor yesterday to visit your Aunt Luo Yi. ”
"Our aunt is afraid of both aging and death, so she has to be with someone when she encounters a minor illness or pain, and now I am afraid that the whole family will have to gather around her bedside. In fact, this kind of old woman who pretends to be sick and tosses when she has nothing to do is sure to live longer than the healthiest person. Luo Yun pouted.
Luo Lan was even more frightened, could it be that there was something wrong with her memory?
The sun shone brightly on the turquoise meadows, many of the guests had arrived at the Hazel Tree Manor, and a dozen huge flower arches were prominently lined up, and the white veils carefully tied in the flowers fluttered in the wind under the blue sky.
Mrs. Lu's daughter threw the flower balls, and the unmarried boys and women on the grass pushed and laughed loudly to compete for the bride's flower balls. The parties are immersed in love and happy, but Mrs. Lu is full of trouble, although the wedding is disappointing and boring. But it is better to have a proper wedding than her daughter secretly elopement.
"Kiss her! Kiss her! The laughter of young people came from the grass. Mu Shuibing walked up to Luo Lan, holding the flower ball in her hand. Mu Shuibing's appearance is not very outstanding, but a pair of bright eyes reveal a down-to-earth and generous intelligence.
"I hope I can get married as soon as possible, my mother urges me to get married every day." Mu Shuibing said cheerfully.
Luo Lan looked at Mu Shuibing, her smile was happy and hearty, it was real.
"Last night...... No, something incredible happened this morning. Luo Lan thought for a moment. Mu Shui Bing Luolan's close friend should be able to be trusted.
"What?" Mu Shuibing asked with concern.
"I suddenly have a mother and a younger sister......," Luo Lan said hesitantly.
"Do you have a fever?" Mu Shuibing looked at Luo Lan in surprise, "What nonsense?" You've always had a mother and a sister, and your whole family came to my birthday party a few days ago. ”
A chill rose behind Luo Lan, why didn't she remember that she had gone to Mu Shuibing's birthday party a few days ago? She vividly remembered that there was no mother, no sisters, and only her and her father in the whole estate...... Pleasant music mixed with the laughter of the happy guests came harshly, and these smiling neighbors seemed to be doing business as usual, and Luo Lan was dizzy...... How to explain it...... It's so weird......
"Luo Lan Baby" Wen Yingfeng's energetic voice suddenly sounded. He was tall, dressed in striking red, and his yellow hair swayed coolly in the wind. With a cynical smile on his face, he looks like a ** suave look. He and his brother Wen Yinglang moved here half a year ago, and Wen Yingfeng quickly became a loyal admirer of Luo Lan.
"When did you come back?" Luo Lan asked. She hadn't seen Wen Yingfeng for almost a month.
"I just came back from the south because I saw a ......," Wen Yingfeng looked intoxicated, "a real stunner!" ”
"So I've been in the South a little bit longer." Wen Yingfeng said with a grin.
"Looks like you're in love with a certain southern beauty again." Mu Shuibing pouted and said. Wen Yingfeng is always cranky and cynical, and she never concentrates on admiring girls for more than three days. He proposed to Luo Lan for almost half of the year, and the rest of the time he proposed to other women, but he never entered into marriage.
"What? You're jealous......" Wen Yingfeng sneered as he casually glanced around. When Wen Yingfeng saw Mrs. Luo, Luo Yun and Luo Le, his words stopped abruptly, and his face changed greatly.
"Luo Lan baby, I came from the south this time to bring you a special gift!" Wen Yingfeng suddenly said to Luo Lan affectionately.
"Gifts?" Luo Lan couldn't help but be stunned, but now Luo Lan was in the mood to accept any gifts.
"What gift?" Mu Shuibing asked curiously.
"In my car, would you like to see it?" Wen Yingfeng said with a smile.
Luo Lan suddenly caught a trace of anxiety in Wen Yingfeng's eyes.
"Don't you have a gift from me?" Mu Shuibing's tone was sour.
"Of course there is, how could I forget our beautiful Miss Mu Shuibing?" Wen Yingfeng said in a smooth tone.
Getting closer and closer to Wen Yingfeng's car, Luo Lan's heart almost jumped to her throat, Wen Yingfeng didn't seem to be as simple as giving her a gift, something must have happened!
This hunch is already the second time. But Wen Yingfeng laughed with Mu Shuibing casually. Luo Lan knew that Mu Shuibing had always liked Wen Yingfeng, and Mu Shuibing was also Luo Lan's best friend. But now...... Mu Shuibing was monitoring them, Luo Lan could feel it, but Luo Lan didn't understand why Mu Shuibing was doing this?
"This gift is sure to surprise you!" Wen Yingfeng smiled and pulled the car door, Luo Lan suddenly felt so nervous in his heart, Mu Shuibing's eyes were even more round and waiting.
A lightning-like black shadow suddenly burst out of the car, Luo Lan didn't see what it was, only heard Mu Shuibing let out a scream, Luo Lan had been suddenly pushed into the car by Wen Yingfeng, "Hurry up!" Wen Yingfeng's voice became tense and hoarse.
The car sped out like an arrow, Luo Lan looked from the back window, and Mu Shuibing was fiercely pounced on the ground by a huge wolf dog.
"Thanks to the knife I brought here." Wen Yingfeng sighed.
"Mu Shuibing....... it's okay."
"Don't worry about her. I just hope the knife escapes! Wen Yingfeng said worriedly.
"Escape ......."
Wen Yingfeng's eyes showed a hint of fear, "Your mother and sister ......" He stopped talking.
"What?" Luo Lan's heart almost jumped out, and Wen Yingfeng confirmed that she was indeed experiencing a very strange incident.
"Didn't they die in a flu a month ago......" Wen Yingfeng said bitterly.
Luo Lan seemed to be suddenly thrown into a field of ice and snow, and she heard her teeth chatter. Her mother and sister have ...... Death?
But why doesn't she remember anything?
"If my guess is correct, our neighbors are not what they used to be." Wen Yingfeng's face was ugly.
"How is this possible?" Luo Lan was extremely frightened. "I'm not so sure ...... either"
"Where are we going now?"
"Find my brother first." Wen Yingfeng replied.
