"This is London's famous ancient clock, the Palace of Westminster Striking Clock, a clock tower on the banks of the River Thames in London, which is one of London's landmarks. The bell tower attached to the Parliament Chamber is now renamed the "Elizabeth Tower".

The Elizabeth Tower was completed on April 10, 1858, with a clock tower of 95 meters high, a diameter of 9 feet, and a weight of 13.5 tons. Ring every 15 minutes to ring the Westminster bell. Big Ben is hand-wound, and when Parliament is in session, the clock face glows and strikes the time every hour.

In London, Elizabeth Tower is a focal point for people to celebrate the New Year, with its bells ringing on the radio and television to welcome the start of the new year.

Similarly, on Memorial Day, the sound of the bells of the Elizabeth Tower indicates the beginning of the 11th hour and 2 minutes of silence on the 11th day of the 11th month.

Every year, when the time is changed between summer and winter, the clock is stopped to repair and replace parts, and the bell is tuned.

The tower is flanked on all four sides by four large gilded bells. The tower takes its name from the giant bell that houses it inside, Big Ben. Big Ben has a total of 393 steps from the bottom of the tower to the top of the tower. "After the tour guide's tirade is over, the tourists are allowed to take pictures freely.

Xiao Lan participated in today's day trip to London under the recommendation of the hotel front desk, but her English is really average, and she really can't understand too much when the tour guide speaks too fast, but fortunately, her purpose is just to take the path that her parents have walked and take photos with them.

"Oh, sweetheart, don't you need a handsome photographer?" Looking at Xiao Lan's laborious selfie, Dickens stepped forward and snatched the point-and-shoot camera in her hand, posed handsomely, and blinked her charming eyes at the same time.

"Wow! So handsome! Oh, my God! Is he a star? Is it possible to take a group photo? ”

The people who join the day trip are basically foreign travelers, and one of the foursomes is a college roommate, who came out to collect wind during the winter vacation, and they are all from one country, so they talked a lot to Xiao Lan along the way, and at this time, they couldn't help but come forward and exclaim to her.

"Sweetheart, it's done! Let's go! Dickens raised the picture spit out by the camera and pulled Xiao Lan out of the crowd before she could react.

"Can you come out during the day? Not afraid of the sun? After Xiao Lan got into the car, she asked unresponsively.

"Of course, I've already said it, I'm not a ghost, except that I need to replenish fresh blood regularly, have a longer lifespan, and have outstanding abilities, which is no different from you." The people of the blood clan are very persistent in good blood, and although he didn't dwell on it much yesterday, it doesn't mean that he will give up lightly.

Xiao Lan nodded, she was only in the novel, and she heard in the rumors that vampires were afraid of the sun, and she was affected by her subconscious, "You came to me for something?" ”

"To protect you, of course, and by the way to act as a driver, coolie, photographer." Dickens chuckled softly, but there was a look in his eyes that Xiao Lan couldn't understand.

For some reason, at this second, Xiao Lan didn't want to refuse his kindness, people are sometimes so wonderful, but simple, either they hate it or like it, and a man like Dickens is not annoying.

"Wait, go over there." The moment the red light turned green, Xiao Lan saw two familiar faces out of the window, and hurriedly stopped Dickens, who was driving.

"Over there? Which restaurant are you going to eat? NO, NO, I have a better one for you. Dickens said this, but he turned the car around.

After the "acquaintance" stopped the car, Xiao Lan dropped two words and ran over in a hurry.

Not far from the door of the western restaurant, a little girl cried and supported her father, helpless and tenacious eyes, attracted a few well-wishers, but what they said, the little girl could not understand, so she could only repeat the English words "Hospital, Hospital." ”

She guessed that his father was suddenly sick and needed to go to the hospital, but she didn't know how to get there.

"Xinxin, what's wrong with your dad?" Crossing the crowd, Xiao Lan squatted down and asked while comforting the little girl.

"The ambulance is coming, let's go to the hospital first." Dickens took a deep look through the glass window of the dining room, then helped Xiao Lan up, took the little girl's hand, and asked the medical staff to carry the person onto the stretcher.

Admission procedures and so on are handled by Dickens, who is not a native of the hospital, and the hospital does not arrange VIP wards, and I don't know what method Dickens used, at this moment the nurses are extremely enthusiastic to introduce them to the use of hardware and software facilities in the VOP ward.

After looking at the man's ID, Xiao Lan knew that his name was Cao Yun, as the doctor just said, his cancer cells had spread, and there was no need for surgery, conservative treatment, with the current technology, he could live for up to two months.

"Xinxin, what happened to you in London these days, I helped your father see it before, he shouldn't have problems this year." After the nurse left, Xiao Lan frowned and asked the girl, after getting the space of the Immortal Mansion, for the first time, she found that her expectations and plans were far from changing as fast.

The girl had just eased up, no longer crying, at this time when Xiao Lan asked, she said: "In the past two days, my father and I took the address to find that bad woman, but she didn't see us, only asked people to tell us to go back quickly, Dad refused, today after learning that she went to that restaurant, we followed, she was with a strange man, and injured my father and sister, you save my father, I will give you all the money"

"Little girl, is the strange man you see very white and thin, dressed in black," Dickens asked softly after reporting the girl to the sofa, he said noon, although his tone was a little strange.

"How do you know? Do you know that bad guy? The girl looked at Dickens with a wary gaze.

"Let's go out and talk." Dickens didn't reply to Xinxin's words, but looked at Xiao Lan with some sternness.

"What about them?" Xiao Lan was not worried about the father and daughter.

"Come in." As soon as Dickens finished speaking, the door of the VIP room was pushed open, and at the same time, a food truck entered, with all kinds of food on the upper and lower floors.

"Young Master." The cart was pushed by a white old man, who nodded at Dickens first, and then turned to look at Xiao Lan, his eyes were first shocked, and then helpless.

"My butler, he speaks Chinese."

"Xinxin, you eat here first, if you have any questions, just ask this old man, he can understand Chinese." Xiao Lan was glad that Xinxin was a sensible and obedient child, otherwise she would not have coaxed the child.

Although Xinxin was afraid that Xiao Lan would leave her alone, she didn't show it, nodded obediently, glanced at Cao Yun, and obediently went to the table to eat.
