Chapter 34 A Late Night Visitor
The temperature difference between day and night is very large in Camelot, wearing short sleeves during the day, and having to wrap in a cotton jacket at night, the cold wind on the street is swishing, and the cold people shiver in the cold.
Aslan complained about the weather while listening to the girl's complaints.
"Alas... Is your brain broken? ”
"It's stupid to eat too much good food?"
"I usually look quite clever, but suddenly I became so stupid!"
"Really, I don't know what to say about you."
Esmeralda has always been angry about Aslan's rejection of Count Loren's invitation, annoying him all the way, nagging about his dead mother.
But he listened to the girl's chatter, and his heart warmed, as if he had found a long-lost feeling, since his parents were gone, no one cared about him anymore.
No matter how good or bad you are, no matter how warm or cold you are, no one will care.
Now, seeing that Esmeralda was so angry about her own affairs that she stomped her feet, somehow he secretly rejoiced in his heart.
Originally, Aslan was still a little regretful about rejecting Count Loren and not being able to become a nobleman, but now he suddenly felt that it was worth it.
"Ace, why don't we add two to five, and divide the money that Mrs. Mary gave you." Aslan deliberately diverted the subject, and smiled at the girl with bad intentions, trying to hack the money given by Mrs. Mary to buy food.
"Don't think!"
Esmeralda glared at Aslan angrily.
Under the bright moonlight, the girl's long water-blue hair hung down like a waterfall, her ivory-like skin shone with a moving luster, and her lake-green eyes were so clear that they could drip water, which was thrillingly beautiful.
Aslan was stunned, she didn't expect the girl to be so cute when she was angry, her heart was pounding in her chest, Esmeralda noticed Aslan's straight eyes, and knocked his head hard, snorted, and turned her head to ignore him.
"Hey......
Aslan smiled, and quietly hid the gold coin hanging around his neck in his shirt, so as not to be confiscated by Mrs. Mary when she returned, and then walked slowly towards Mary's bakery with the maiden and a little goat behind her.
……
When she returned to the bakery, Mrs. Mary immediately scolded Aslan with a stinking face.
"You kid went crazy and didn't come back until midnight." She picked up the cauldron and smashed it at Aslan.
"Why did you just hit me?!"
Aslan scurried around with her head in her hands, and before she could explain, she was chased and killed by Mrs. Mary, who thought that he must have taken Ess with her, or she would not have come back so late, so she planned to teach him a good lesson.
"Mrs. Mary, you are mistaken."
At this time, Esmeralda stopped Mrs. Mary, who was chasing Aslan, and patiently explained to her what had happened to her day, emphasizing that they had bought a large bag of grain without spending a copper plate, all thanks to Aslan.
Spending no money is the point!
When Mrs. Mary heard this, she immediately took a 180-degree turn, and immediately smiled.
"Hahahaha! You kid... Why didn't you say it earlier! She glared at Aslan with some reproach and slapped him on the shoulder, causing him to stumble and almost fall to his stomach.
I'm special... Did you give me a chance to speak?!
In the end, Mrs. Mary gave Aslan a harsh compliment, saying that he was smart, clever, and talented, and that she would give him a raise.
Aslan only pouted at the blank checks, and the only in-kind reward was Mrs. Mary's promise to ask Ace to add an extra egg to his meal tomorrow.
"Aslan, good night!"
After a busy day, just before they went back to the house, Esmeralda waved her little hand goodbye to Aslan, and her delicate and immaculate face showed a lovely smile, as beautiful as a moonlight goddess.
"Good night, Ace!"
With Esmeralda's good night, Aslan's heart warmed, and he felt that he would be able to sleep well tonight.
Pushing open the door, the room had already been swallowed up by darkness, black oppression, deathly silence.
Aslan fumbled for the light switch, the soft light quickly dispelled the darkness in the room, the quilt on the bed was not folded, it looked messy, and a pair of blue slippers were placed underneath.
The small white bedside still had scraps of food left over from his meal, and the grease stains still exuded a faint aroma.
The big fat cat is not there, and I don't know where to go.
This extremely ordinary scene made the smile on Aslan's face suddenly freeze!
He shuddered down his spine and shuddered involuntarily.
Someone has been to his room!
Not Mrs. Mary, but a mysterious outsider!
There was a faint smell of blood wafting through the cold air of the house, and Aslan's sense of smell was very keen, and he caught the smell of blood as soon as he entered the door.
It's the smell of demons!
A demon came to his room while he was away!
Aslan was suddenly terrified, his body stayed in place as if petrified, he didn't dare to move, he was sure that he was not mistaken, he had survived the demons with great difficulty, so he was very sensitive to this faint smell that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
What's going on? What to do? Calling people?
Could that demon still be lurking nearby, or even hiding in this cramped little room, if it were to startle the snake, not only him, but Esmeralda, Mrs. Mary, and Brother Tom, everyone might have to die!
Well, why did the demons come to the door and enter his room anyway, to avenge their dead companions, or to find food?
At this moment, Aslan's heart was in turmoil, and he missed that annoying big fat cat very much, and if it was still there, at least he could help him come up with ideas.
He took a deep breath, tried to compose himself, and calmly walked to his bed, where he lay down to rest as usual, as if he hadn't noticed anything.
In terms of his own life, Aslan was extremely shrewd, and he knew that if he screamed in horror now, or made a big noise, he would probably be killed directly; If you go out of the room and sneak to find the knights of the royal city guards, you are likely to be detected and killed halfway.
So now, Aslan pretended not to know anything, as usual, lying down, undressing, turning off the lights, and sleeping! This may be the only way to survive!
He didn't know why the demon had come, but the demon didn't seem to want him to notice that he was there, so it didn't touch anything in the room.
It was when Aslan realized this that he decided to pretend to be stupid and sleep peacefully.
After a while, a low shout rang out.
He didn't sleep, and his palms were sweaty.
At this moment, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly appeared in the window, staring at Aslan on the bed......
