Text 233 It's good to have you with me
At a distance from the city, stands an ancient castle, whose body is covered with gray-black bricks and surrounded by green trees.
The gray-black walls were covered with dark green vines, and some of them had mischievously climbed onto the windows, where they were forcefully wrapped around some of the rusty window frames.
To the north is a circular tower with a pointed apex and a faint view of the small black arched windows.
From afar, it gives people an eerie feeling, but when the car drives into the front yard and sees the flowerbeds in full bloom and the green bushes, it looks like the old castle has a little more cuteness and life.
A row of maids dressed in maid's costumes stood neatly at the entrance to the castle, looking respectfully in the direction of the car, and at the front stood three tall foreign men and women, with two small figures hidden behind them.
As soon as we got out of the car, the middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Chris immediately walked up and introduced himself politely: "I am David Henry of the David family, this is my wife Jenny, eldest daughter Irene, younger daughter and youngest son Laura and Abel. ”
"Chris, you should know each other."
I didn't expect Chris to have so many siblings and his parents still look so young.
Mrs. David's facial features are deep, and even though she is already a certain age, her figure is still like a model, with an attractive body line and body shape. Her long, soft, curly blonde hair was draped behind her head, and her face was covered with light makeup.
Erin is the eldest daughter in the family, a year older than Chris.
We were welcomed by the warm-hearted couple, and I looked up at the castle and sighed.
Chris is really a rich second generation, looking at his family background, it is no wonder that he can quickly solve various economic matters.
They have a big golden retriever in the house, and they are constantly circling around Chris at the moment, with its long pink tongue sticking out, constantly rubbing its body against his suit pants.
An Ning greeted them warmly, and I couldn't help but be a little nervous when I was a stranger in front of them, and they were still foreigners.
I'm afraid that my broken English will attract jokes.
"Rong Hua, don't be nervous, my parents both speak Chinese, so don't worry about the language barrier."
Chris's comfort succeeded in reassuring me, and when Henry heard my name, he immediately greeted me and said enthusiastically: "You are Rong Hua, Chris and I have mentioned you, including An Ning." ”
Seeing that they were a little too familiar with me, I tugged at Chris's sleeve and whispered, "Did you confess everything to me?" ”
He had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and said, "I don't want to, but Erin always chases me and asks, so I have to confess everything." ”
I wanted to investigate something in a low-key way, just as an ordinary person, but now it seems that it is impossible.
That's fine, so as not to make some jokes or contradictions, I'm not welcome, and I'm just going to say the purpose here.
"Let's go first, Erin, and take your younger siblings to the backyard."
Jenny said softly and led us through the door, and as we left, I overheard Laura and Erin talking.
"Erin, who are they, and why are they coming to our house again?"
"Laura, tell you you don't know, let's go groom Tom, he hasn't eaten yet."
Abel grabbed his little sister and led Tom to the backyard.
……
"Miss Rong, do you mean something big happened in the underworld?" Henry asked solemnly, frowning.
"That's right." I told me everything that had escaped from the demons at the bottom, including Saya's death, and my heart sank as soon as I said that.
"I'm really sorry to hear that." Jenny looked at me with a look of pity, held her husband in her arms, and said sympathetically, "You must have suffered a lot." ”
The real suffering is not on me, but on the body of Saya, the Hidden King, and Xiaobai.
"The judge has found out that the power that separates the evil spirit should have something to do with what happened here, but it is inconvenient for him to leave the underworld to come here to investigate, so I recommended myself."
Henry's face was very unsightly, he shook his head, put his hands together, kept rubbing, his eyes looked here and there, as if he was thinking about something.
"The war has just come to an end here, and the Hades King is still sending more people to search for treasures everywhere, striving to classify them as treasures before the next fluctuation between the two realms."
I thought of what Hei Wuchang said: "Have you found the approximate location of the treasure?" ”
Jenny couldn't help but interject: "We did find it, but the range is still too large. She paused, organized her language, and stopped abruptly as if she had something unspeakable.
"We are located in a continent, but for us to find what we want, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack."
Her idiom is well used, and it successfully expresses their current primary problem.
How difficult it is to find the treasure of suppressing the underworld in the vast sea of people.
It's just that the current situation has been dragged out by us looking ahead and backwards. Even if a blind man touches an elephant, he has to move forward, one step at a time, and if he doesn't go, there will be no progress in this matter, and even if there is a clue, he can't give up.
"Hades has told us that there should be some clues in places where ghosts are dense and yin qi is heavier, so our family has recently started to take on some missions in that continent, hoping to find treasures in this way."
Chris walked over with a somewhat crumpled map in his hand, unfolded it in my hand, and dotted on the places circled with red markers.
When I saw the name of the continent written on it, my eyes widened all at once.
Isn't this where my mom travels?
Thinking of the embarrassment that she and Grandpa An obviously hid from me, coupled with this seemingly coincidental coincidence, I was even more sure of what I was thinking.
At this moment, it seems that maybe my mother suddenly came to country M on a business trip, and it was not a work matter.
Rather, it has something to do with the fluctuations in the yin and yang worlds that occur in country M.
"Xiao Hua ......" An Ning, who was sitting next to me, pushed my arm and called my name before I took my thoughts back and smiled awkwardly at them.
"I'm sorry, I just got distracted."
"It's okay, you've come all the way here, I'm afraid you won't get any useful information for a while, but I promise that we will solve the matter as soon as possible and give you an explanation."
I noticed the couple's restraint in front of me, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't be reluctant, there is a bit of luck in this kind of thing, when the time comes, things will naturally appear, no matter how anxious it is, it will be chaotic." ”
Mr. and Mrs. David, who were sitting across the sofa, looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "By the way, there is one more thing." ”
"Huh?"
"The Immortal wants to see you."
It had only been a few hours since I arrived in country M, and Caesar had already noticed me.
It's just that why did he see me, I don't think there's anything in me that he needs.
"Hades said that you don't have to rush to see him immediately, but I just hope to meet him soon."
I nodded, and after a few more pleasantries with the couple, Henry took Chris and Yang Yi back to the study, as if to discuss the next course of action.
In order to welcome us, Jenny was said to cook a gourmet meal herself, and went to the kitchen with a few servants.
"Do you have any taboos?" The beautiful woman stopped and asked me, I smiled and shook my head, and she quickly disappeared from my sight like a fluttering butterfly.
Just when I thought she was really leaving, a head popped out of the doorway.
"Miss Rong is light, if there is anything, you can just talk to Anna directly."
Jenny winked at me, and the maid standing next to me bowed to me.
In the living room, I and An Ning were left all of a sudden, and Anna was standing quietly by the door, and since I came here, I haven't seen Grandpa An, which makes me very puzzled.
An Ning really deserved to be a friend who slept in the same bed with me and wore a pair of shoes, and immediately saw my thoughts, and said, "Grandpa went on a mission with some people sent by the An family." ”
I leaned back on the sofa, glanced at her obliquely, and said softly, "When he found you, he didn't embarrass you, did he?" ”
An Ning's face showed a wry smile, her head rested on my shoulder, and she pouted, "What else can you do except be scolded." ”
That's right, too.
I thought to myself amusemently, when suddenly, I thought of someone, and looked up a few times, but there was no sign of the person.
"Hey, what about your brother, why are the others gone?"
"Probably in the backyard." An Ning said very calmly, his tone was not flustered at all, as if he already knew where he was, "Don't tell him before me, I'm not as good as Tom's dog in his heart." ”
Her tone was a little sour, and I was a little surprised in my heart, but more than that, I was happy for her.
When did the relationship between An Ning and An Xuan be so good, I actually caught An Ning being jealous, which is really rare.
She leaned on my shoulder for a while, and as if she had found something, her hand quickly touched my stomach, and she jumped up from the couch in an instant.
"Why are you so fat?!"
I feel like I've got an extra tic-tac-toe on my forehead, and this is the first time I've been told I'm fat!
"Have you forgotten I'm pregnant?"
She looked at my dark face, and suddenly held her stomach and laughed: "Look at your face, haha I teased you, of course I remember." ”
"It's just that I didn't expect him to grow so fast and be round to the touch." An Ning stretched out her hands and gently stroked my belly, and the living room returned to its original quiet.
After a long time, she spoke softly, her face pressed against my stomach, and her voice trembled a little.
"It's good to have you with Xiaohua, I'm ......"
"Okay, it's all in the past, I've forgiven you a long time ago." I saw that An Ning was still tormented by the fact that she left me to transfer to another school, so I touched her head and said softly.
