55 The Redwing Twins

The two new neighbors are twin boys with orange hair, one named Horace Redwyn and the other Hopper Redwin.

Obviously, they are all members of the Redwin family on Qingting Island in the river bend, or rather, they are the two sons of the current Earl of Redwin, because they are still young, and there are too many people in the Red Fort at this time, they are arranged to live in the Megg Building.

The twins were crying and screaming when they first moved in, and with their keen hearing, Lan Li vaguely knew that it seemed that one of them had been scratched by a black cat after entering the Red Keep.

I heard that it doesn't seem to be serious, but it's just a little broken. But the parties didn't seem to be reluctant, and the noise was so loud that it seemed that half of Mei Gelou could hear it.

"The Seven Gods save me, how can they have such a loud voice?"

"Not only is his voice loud, but his temper is not small."

There were servants who whispered as they passed by, relying on their sensitive ears, and even when they sat on the balcony, Lan Li could hear what they were saying.

"I think of a midwife in my hometown in the countryside, and every time she goes out to work, she shouts louder than the woman who gives birth. I remember one time when she scared the woman from the next village......"

"It would be nice if all the noble young masters were as quiet as Young Master Lan Li, although sometimes they would lose their temper."

"That's right, the little guy is good, but it's easy to be shy......"

The voices of the discussion gradually drifted away, and Lan Li selectively ignored the remarks about himself in these words, but kept thinking about the useful news in them.

Eventually, he looked at the nearby fireplace and touched his chin thoughtfully.

That night, the twin brothers, who had just moved into the new room in the Mei Ge Building, were sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard a very frightening sound intermittently, faintly like a child's cry, and an eerie gargoyle's wicked laughter.

The strange voice was low and distinct, but it was impossible to find out where it was, so one of the twins was so frightened that he cried and howled and ured the bed, and the other, a little taller, ran out of the room screaming, screaming as he ran.

There was a commotion in Meige House that night, and after someone pacified the two twins, it was already past midnight and it was about to dawn.

However, despite the fact that there were many people who were alarmed, no one cared about the nonsense of the two little ones, and only thought that it was just a nightmare or a new place where they did not fit in.

But at midnight the next day, the two little ones quarreled in horror again, and cried that they had to go home or not stay here again.

The servants in charge of their care consulted with the court governor, but the castle was now mostly occupied, and if they wanted to change their lives, they had to send some of the abandoned towers to clean up firstβ€”

Otherwise, the twins would not have been placed in this royal residence.

So the old man could only choose to continue to appease the two young masters of the family, and finally reluctantly completed this task.

On the third day, after breakfast, Lan Li pretended to wander around and found two twin boys who looked a little wilted in a fountain courtyard outside the Megar Building, and asked curiously when they got closer.

"Did you really see a ghost?"

The morning after the twins moved in, the court governor arranged for them to meet, so they knew each other.

"Really, it's scary." The big orange-haired boy said in a weak voice, and the short man shrunk his neck when he heard the words, and then waved his chubby little fist again, and his ugly face full of freckles was full of anger.

"Even if it's a ghost, don't let me see it, or I'll make it taste my father's power!"

Lan Li sighed when he heard this, then looked at some guards not far away, and whispered, "I guess it's not a ghost." ”

These words stunned the two children who looked similar.

"What's not a ghost?"

"It must be human." Lan Li said: "Let me tell you, you didn't know when you first came, there are many secrets in this castle, such as a secret passage inside the wall. ”

"Secret passage?" The fierce dwarf boy wrinkled his nose: "My dad said that only rats dig holes, and there are secret passages where the king lives?" ”

"Of course." Lan Li nodded: "I fell into it two days ago, it was dark inside, but it was big. I suspect that someone is using this secret passage to scare you. ”

"Why are you scaring us?" The short boy was stunned.

"I don't know."

"I don't believe it." The tall boy shook his head and said, "That's a ghost, how can it be a human." ”

"Your home is not far from the old town, haven't you heard from the scholars there that there are no such eccentrics in this world?"

Lan Li snorted when he heard this: "But believe it or not, anyway, I want to find this secret passage, and they don't believe my words, but as long as I find it, I am sure to convince them, and then buy me a lot of good things." Well, you know, something that no one knows about has been discovered by me, and it must be a great achievement. ”

These words made the twin brothers look at each other.

"Really human?"

"Is there really a secret passage?"

They asked in unison.

"It must be so, man of the secret passages." Lan Li nodded, and then suddenly asked with great interest: "How is it, do you want to find it together?"

"Why should we join?"

"What's in it for you?"

"Benefits?" Lan Li pretended to think and said, "The good thing is that I have received the credit, and you can have a chance to catch the person who scared you." ”

"Do you really think that's human?" After hearing this, the short boy asked again.

"Of course, I don't believe there are ghosts in the world, the bachelors say-"

"I'm joining!"

Without waiting for Lan Li to finish speaking, this one clenched his little fists and nodded, his freckled ugly face looking like he was gritting his teeth. The big orange-haired boy rolled his eyes, and then asked curiously: "You just said the credit, and there is still credit for this?" ”

"Of course, this is the Red Keep, where the king lives, and it would be great if I found a secret that even the king didn't know." Lan Li said, pretending to be serious and saying his other purpose.

"But if we want to catch the person who scared you, even if we find the secret passage, we can't tell anyone right away."

"Why?"

"I've heard a word, pulling the haystack has alarmed the snake inside, if we find out and tell the story, that person will definitely not appear again, so after we find the secret passage, we should first secretly tell this news to my eldest brother Robert, and ask him to arrest it, my eldest brother is very powerful, so that we can get credit and catch the fake ghost." Of course, the credit is mine, and you can't rob me. ”

The brunette boy sounded like he admired Robert, but he didn't trust him at all. If that rough cheap big brother is really reliable, he won't have such trouble playing, just go to make a small report, at most think about how to make a report to make himself act more like a child.

Relatively speaking, although the second brother Stannis has a stinky face, at least he won't get drunk and talk nonsense, but unfortunately he hasn't seen anyone recently.

"Why are you alone?" The short boy was unknowingly led into the corner by Lan Li.

"Of course it's mine, otherwise it could be yours." Lan Li pretended to be unhappy and replied, which made the other party's face turn red and look a little breathless, and the big one next to him came out with a sentence.

"We can find it ourselves."

These words made Lan Li stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

"You can't find it yourself."

"Why can't you find it?" The dwarf also reacted at this time, and smiled, "Why can't we find us if you can find it?" ”

"Because I fell in, everybody knows it."

"We don't know, we're going to find it!"

"That's right! We're going to go! ”

"And then I found it, and the credit and that fake ghost are all ours!" As they spoke, they grimaced at Lan Li and then turned around and ran away.

They were running fast and seemed a little impatient.

Lan Li scratched her head, feeling a little troublesome.

Although he deliberately stimulated them, it was just a kind of "foreshadowing" for him, he didn't expect these two guys to be so "breathless".

His original idea was that he was also involved in it, so everything he had said before sounded reasonable, and the original expectation was to take these two guys around casually, and then accidentally find some clues or something.

After discovering the clues, he went to say something to stimulate these two guys, and asked them to leave themselves alone, so that they could almost take themselves out, or it didn't matter if they couldn't take them out, with two "shields", he would be much less "pressure".

As a result, people have now turned their faces directly......
