The owner of the Phoenix Feather Pen and Ink Shop is a beautiful woman, and this hostess has long seen that Tang Zhangwei is not a mortal.

Therefore, she let Tang Zhangwei carefully select various raw materials for calligraphy and painting.

In the mind of this beauty, Tang Zhangwei may have suddenly become interested, so he wanted to buy pen and ink.

In fact, there are two kinds of people in the Phoenix Feather Pen and Ink Shop, one is that non-imported goods and imported goods are not bought.

Some foreign slaves just thought that the things of the Eastern Roman Empire and the European provinces were good, and they regarded the things of these countries as treasures.

Others think that the more expensive the better, and they go to great lengths to get the most expensive luxury out of it.

Of course, Tang Zhangwei can buy everything, but he doesn't like those fools who put gold dust in ink, and he will even use Chinese painting paints to configure some inks by himself, which are also very easy to write, but they are too easy to dry.

Her hair was thin and straight, with a color between black and gray, parted from it and neatly cut to the position of a strong jaw. The years did not steal beauty from her face. She leaned on a cane and had only one leg. Richard slowly stopped in front of her.

The woman's eyes are completely white.

"I'm Eddie. Who are you? Eddie's voice had a hoarse, piercing texture that made Richard's spine shiver involuntarily.

"Four friends." Richard said in a respectful tone. The rain hit the face quietly and softly. He waited.

Fine wrinkles covered her face. She took the cane from under her armpit and placed her lean palm on the tip of the cane, allowing it to support the weight of her body. Eddie's thin mouth pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"A friend," she said in a gruff voice, "three dangerous men." I'll decide if they're friends or not. She nodded softly to herself.

Richard and Karen glanced at each other. His vigilance was raised. He felt a little embarrassed to sit on the horse, as if it was disrespectful to bow his head to her from above. He dismounted, and Karen dismounted. He took the reins in one hand and walked over to the horse, and Karen walked up to him.

"I'm Richard Seifer. This is my friend, Karen Amuel. ”

The woman studied his face with her white eyes. He didn't know if she could see or if it was possible. She turned to face Karen. She whispered a few words to Karen in a hoarse voice that Richard didn't understand.

Karen stared into the old man's eyes and bowed her head slightly to Eddie.

It must be a mutual compliment. Respectful greetings. Richard didn't hear Karen or Amuel. The tiny hairs on his neck stood on end.

She called Karen by the title.

He'd been with Karen long enough, and from the way she stood up, the way she looked up, knew she was on alert. Very vigilant. If she were a cat, her back would arch and her fur would stand straight up. The two women stood facing each other, their age tossed away at this moment. They evaluated each other, looking at qualities that Richard couldn't see. This woman can bring them harm, and he knows that the sword of truth will not be enough to protect him this time.

Eddie turned back. "Say what you need. Richard Seifer. ”

"We need your help."

Eddie nodded. "True."

"Two of our friends were injured. One of them, Dell. Blant stone, tell me he's your friend. ”

"True." Eddie spoke hoarsely again.

"There's another person, in Chauvin, who told us you might be able to help them. In order to repay you for your help, we have brought you some daily necessities. We think it's fair to offer you something. ”

Edison closes up. "Lies!" She tapped the ground with her cane. Richard and Karen involuntarily twitched backwards.

Richard didn't know what to say. Eddie waited. "It's true. The items are here. He turned slightly, raised his hand and gestured to Charles's horse. We think ... ”

"Lies!" She tapped her cane hard again.

Richard folded his arms, his anger fueling. While he was playing a game with the woman, his friend was dying. "What is a lie?"

"'We' is a lie." She tapped her crutches again. "You came up with the idea of providing items. It was you who decided to bring me groceries. It's not you and Karen. It's just you. 'We' is a lie. 'I' is the real one. ”

Richard lowered his arms and naturally hung down to his sides. 'Is there any difference?' What does it really matter to 'us' and 'I'? ”

She glared at him. "One is true and the other is a lie. What more difference could there be? ”

Richard cupped his chest again, frowning. "It must have been difficult for Charles to tell you about his expedition."

Eddie's smile returned to her face. "True." She nodded. She leaned a little closer again, and motioned with her hand, "Bring your friend into the house." ”

She turned, put her cane under her armpit, and walked into the house. Richard and Karen glanced at each other, then walked over to Charles and lifted the blanket first. He had Karen carry the caretaker's leg and lift the heavier head herself. By the time Charles was lifted through the door, Richard immediately understood why he called her the Bone Girl.

All sorts of bones were scattered on the dark walls, and every wall was filled with them. On a loft across a wall, the skull was neatly pushed. Richard couldn't make out the animal's skull. Most look horrible, with long, curved teeth. At least none of them were human, he thought. Some of the bones were woven into necklaces. Some of the objects decorated with feathers and colored beads to have some kind of function were fixed to the walls, and the surrounding areas were painted with chalk patterns that Richard could not understand. The corners were littered with bones, but they looked like they were just unimportant bones.

The bones on the walls are carefully placed and kept at a distance from the other bones around them, indicating their importance.

On the mantelpiece lay a rib as thick as Richard's arm, slightly longer than his height, carved with symbols he couldn't read. Richard was surrounded by bleached bones, making him feel as if he was in the chest of an animal that had rotted down to the bone.

They put Charles on the ground, and Richard kept turning his head and looking around. The rain was dripping down on Karen, Charles, and him, but Eddie's body standing up straight was as dry as the bones around him. She was standing in the rain, but she wasn't wet.
