Chapter 18: A Visitor to a Mysterious Town
The morning in Yorktown was still foggy, and young Alice once again took advantage of the morning to get up to deliver the newspaper to that mysterious place in the corner of the town. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yorktown is a beautiful town, the green here is particularly shocking, perhaps it is the battle of Yorktown that killed too many people, whether it is the Southern Army or the Northern Army, their young bodies have turned into fertilizer to nourish this town, making the scenery of this town particularly beautiful and beautiful, coupled with the importance of the victory of Yorktown, making this a famous tourist town in Virginia, and the people here are still living a relatively wealthy life.
But Alice doesn't want to live like this, she yearns for the metropolis, she works hard, she wants to leave this place, she doesn't want to bury her youth here, she is just 12 years old, otherwise, when she is in her thirties, she can only work as a waitress at Erwin's restaurant on the other side of the street, when she is forty years old, she can only work as a waiter at Erwin's restaurant, fifty years old, ah, I guess she can't be a waiter, she can only walk the dog around like Grandma Maggie.
She wanted to go to New York.
In this case, she first needs a big house, and thinking of this, she sets her sights on this place, which is known as the most mysterious place in the town.
It's a two-storey villa, and even though it's just outside, Alice can tell the luxury and comfort of it. The white walls were very clean, the orange roof was like a sunset, and there was a large balcony facing the east, and Alice thought more than once that it must be beautiful to watch the sunrise here; In the courtyard in front was a thick grass, and the green blades of grass were still carrying dew at this time, with a thin white mist around them, like a fairy tale; Behind is the garden, which is tended to be taken care of every month, with many roses, not just the cheesy red roses, yellow and white, mixed together, which seem to be disorderly, but also comfortable; There was also a small gymnasium behind the house, which had struck the boys of the town, and it had always been Alice's dream house.
It's just that no one seems to know who lives here, and the mysterious owner comes back from time to time, but when people come to visit him, no one looks like him. Maybe Sheriff Buck knew who it was, but he just didn't say it, and his mouth was very tight.
Alice was dumbfounded: if only I could have such a beautiful house.
Alice saw that there was no one around, and it was still early, so she locked her bike and sneaked around to a fence behind the house. There was a gap here, which she had discovered, and sometimes she would sneak in just to get a closer look at the house that kept her from eating.
Alice deftly got in, it seemed that this was not the first time she had done such a thing.
She first spun around here and made a mock gesture of lifting the hem of her skirt, like the hostess here. Then, she sneaked inside.
At this time, she was surprised to find that there seemed to be traces of someone coming here, and it seemed to have just been left. Could it be that a thief is coming? She shook her head and threw out the bad idea, this is not a ghost, but the lady named Mo is really good, and she has written a great movie! Suddenly, she was a little excited, and another thought came out, could it be that the mysterious master has returned?
Thinking of this, Alice couldn't hold back her curiosity and walked towards the house. She first leaned on the window on the first floor and went to the countryside to take a look.
Someone had returned, and Alice could clearly see that there were traces of someone's life here, it seemed to be a man, and the room was as tidy as herself, so it must be a good person. She couldn't see anything else, so she planned to go around to the door, intending to be the first to visit him before the rest of the town found out.
Just as she was about to go out, she suddenly saw the door of the gymnasium in the backyard open. Could it be that the master is here?
Alice crept over and peeked through the crack in the door.
There were two tall, very tall men, and Alice swore she had never seen anyone so tall, not even the pesky Thompson of the tallest in town, the 12th grade (the equivalent of a senior in China).
One of the two of them is a black and strong black man, Alice faintly saw his face and felt that this must not be a good person, as if the villain in the movie is like this; The other was a tall, thin Oriental, with slender limbs, and the black man seemed to fit two of him, but his face looked like a good man.
But at this time, the situation of the good guy seemed to be a little wrong, and he was facing away from the bad guy, who had a cushion in his hand in front of him. The good guy slammed backwards hard, but the bad guy didn't move, but gently pushed forward, and the good guy was pushed out a little more. The good man seemed to be a little anxious, and pushed his elbow back, and at the same time pressed his shoulder back, and then he slammed it backwards with another force, this time with much more force than the last.
But the bad guy who scared Alice seemed to have been prepared, and the hand holding the mat shrank back, and the good guy was caught off guard and used too much force, and he sat on the ground with his butt and was put down by the bad guy.
Alice almost cried out, and hurriedly covered her little mouth with her hand.
At this moment, the good guy was kicked by the bad guy, and hurriedly ran from side to side, and it seemed that he was still changing direction slightly, because the vicious bad guy had been chasing him behind.
After running back and forth for a few times, the bad guy took out a long whip out of nowhere, waved it and walked towards the good guy, while the good guy had nothing in his hand but was there panting and looking at each other.
Seeing this, Alice was so anxious that she was almost about to cry, she hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind, pushed the door open hard, and said in a trembling voice, "Stop...... Stop, stop. She knew that she was so small, and it was useless to stand up, she should go to Sheriff Buck, but how could she leave the good guys here alone, fortunately, in the movie so far, the good guys will definitely break out and defeat the bad guys.
Seeing Alice, both good and bad people were stunned, and the two looked at Alice blankly, not knowing what to say.
Alice shook her eyes with tears in her eyes, ran between the two, opened her arms, faced the bad guys, and said to the good guys: "You are a good guy, you, you go quickly, I'll help you stop the bad guys, you must come back to save me, I still have to go to New York?" ”
For a moment, the crying voice seemed to shock the two of them, and neither of them moved.
In this way, the faces of the bad men became darker and darker, the faces of the good men became redder and redder, and the bodies of the good men continued to rise and fall, as if they were enduring some great pain.
Finally, the good man seemed to be unable to bear the pain anymore and cried out.
"Hahahahaha, it's so interesting, bad guy, bad guy, you're just a bad guy."
The good guy was laughing and crying, but he was in contrast to Alice.
It turned out that these two people were actually Mo Xi and Ewing.
After playing the 76ers, although the Knicks still have three games, but in the face of the old enemy and the current No. 1 ranked Heat, Van Gundy is playing with a kind of giving up mentality, anyway, how to play the first round of the playoffs is to play against you, directly hide Ewing, Mo Xi is just by the way. Because since Mo Xi started to play badly, and pondered how to integrate boxing into his play all day long, Ewing's intuition told him that this could give Mo Xi a special training before the playoffs. So, the two of them sneaked to a small town not far from New York that Ewing bought for a week-long closed special training.
After listening to a lot, the little girl only understood a little bit, that is, these two people are not bad people, and they look so powerful, because they are from New York.
Ewing asked with a dark face, "How did you get in?" ”
Alice was hesitant, not daring to say it.
Mo Xi sat on the ground, wiped his sweaty hair, and said, "Hey, bad guy, don't be so fierce, just a neighbor, whoever makes you so mysterious, I guess no one knows that you live here." ”
I don't know who started it, but in short, the tradition that giants are lonely began to spread. In ancient times, George McCann, Chamberlain, Russell, Thurmond, and Moses Malone, Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon, Ewing and others continue to interpret this statement. Their huge stature is out of place with other people, so they are looked up to, adored, ostracized, and feared.
Ewing didn't say anything, or maybe he didn't care about the little girl, just waved his hand and let Mo Xi get up and continue training.
Mo Xi struggled to stand up and said to Alice first, "If you like it, you can watch from the side." After speaking, he took the jump rope from Ewing and continued to train.
The little girl obediently stepped aside, her eyes full of longing.
When the day's training was over, the little girl had long since disappeared, and Mo Xi lay on the ground, too tired to even bother to speak.
Ewing on the side frowned when he saw it, and said: "This week, I will try my best to teach the skills of inside confrontation, you don't need to master all of them, at least you must be able to use 80% of them flexibly, this is just the beginning." ”
Mo Xi nodded, and suddenly felt that there was something in his hand, he picked it up and looked at it, it was a small note, which read: "Dear gentleman from the East, I sincerely invite you to come to my house as a guest, and have dinner by the way." Alice Fernandez" has a line of addresses on the back. The immature and slightly formal words were obviously left by the little girl just now. Mo Xi handed the small note to Ewing and asked, "How is it?" To go or not to go? ”
Ewing immediately refused.
Mo Xi suddenly remembered something very serious, sat up and said to Ewing, "No, Pat, we have to go. ”
