Chapter 65: The Advocate of the Dead
"Uncle Qian, have you had breakfast?" Lin Xiaofan asked while standing by the window on the second floor.
"I heard that there was a mudslide in the forest up the mountain, not to mention the sisters-in-law who came to do housework, and even the maintenance personnel couldn't come." Lao Qian smiled, still cleaning up the broken branches and leaves in his hands, "The road is not passable, electricity, broadband, and mobile phone signals are all temporarily broken." I heard that it will be repaired, so let's hold on for another day. ”
"My stomach can't hold on, Uncle Qian will wait for me." Lin Xiaofan said, and without waiting for Lao Qian to answer, he quickly went to the bathroom to wash, changed into clean clothes and went downstairs.
Although I am a road idiot, I have walked twice, as long as I don't go to other places to "explore", I will not go wrong again. Under normal circumstances, the kitchen is next to the dining room, but fortunately, the Ye family's mansion also follows this rule.
And for those who like to cook, a large, clean and tidy kitchen is very pleasant for the spirit. The Ye family's kitchen is like this, and looking at the beautiful three-door refrigerator and the dazzling array of ingredients inside, Lin Xiaofan has a feeling that he can't put it down.
Since Judy said last night that she could use the things in the kitchen, she simply made a nutritious breakfast for two. She's been doing it at home for a long time, and it's all done in fifteen minutes. Because he remembered that Old Man Ye didn't like the habit of "others" entering the big house, he had to put his breakfast into a picnic basket with a movable flap found in the cabinet, and planned to go to the garden to eat with Uncle Qian.
I inadvertently looked up, and from the kitchen window, I saw a corner of the back garden of the Ye Mansion.
It is a high-end community with a sky-high price, not only the environment is quiet, but the quality of the facilities is also excellent. For example, the drainage system, the torrential rain like last night, did not cause a large area of water in the villa, but only washed the colorful stone paved path in the garden to sparkle. And right at the end of the trail. There is a beautiful glass flower room, the flowers and trees in it are not poisoned by extreme weather, and those purple and red are illuminated by the bright sun, forming a gorgeous background.
Judy stood in front of a plain white, ankle-length cotton dress with a blue-gray cardigan over it, and was particularly eye-catching.
Opposite her. It was Ye Weizhi in a wheelchair. for he was dressed in brown clothes. The hair is gray and looks like a pile of rotting wood.
Judy was half-bent over, not knowing what to say to Ye Weizhi. There was a smile on his face. And Ye Weizhi couldn't see the expression on his face because he was facing away from the kitchen window. However, although his head was tilted, it seemed that he was trying to straighten himself. The shoulder stiffened and trembled with exertion.
Lin Xiaofan couldn't help frowning slightly.
Even though it was late summer, it was frighteningly hot a few days ago. But because of yesterday's sudden rainstorm, the temperature dropped sharply this morning. Judy, who is tall and thin, still needs to add a piece of clothing, but the body of a half-dead person like Ye Weizhi is thin, is this really good? It stands to reason that Judy is a full-time nurse. You won't be unaware of this. Does it mean that the sick body needs to stay in the cold temperature for a while? But judging from Ye Weizhi's body language, it looks like ...... Resist?
Lin Xiaofan didn't know if she was wrong, because she wasn't so sure. I just want to observe it again. Judy, however, seemed to feel someone peeping at her, and turned her head suddenly. It's weird. Lin Xiaofan's instinctive first reaction was to squat down and avoid that gaze.
But why hide? Shouldn't you wave generously and nod with a smile?
Lin Xiaofan was annoyed in his heart, feeling that his behavior was not on the table, but like being a thief. This emotion lasted until he met Lao Qian and the people who followed him.
"He's the gardener Lao Feng." Lao Qian introduced, "He takes care of the entire Ye family's garden, right?" Pretty awesome, isn't it? ”
"Uncle Feng." Because this man looks older than Lao Qian, Lin Xiaofan politely uses honorific titles.
"Uh-huh." Lao Feng nodded hurriedly, his hands were rubbing his clothes restlessly, his expression looked a little flustered, a little flattered, and even a little shy, obviously rarely dealing with people.
Lin Xiaofan suddenly remembered that when she first came to Narrow yesterday, she had met Lao Feng when she was on the balcony, and he was friendly at that time, and he waved and smiled at her. It's just that when Ye Weizhi appeared, he was scared away, and he was very timid. Now this reaction makes it even more obvious that his whole person is a little abnormal.
"I'll bring you breakfast." Since the other party is two people, Lin Xiaofan raised the basket in his hand, and had to dedicate his share, "It's not boasting, it's really not bad." ”
"What's so embarrassing?" Lao Qian excused himself, after all, Lin Xiaofan was an important guest, and they were just working in the Ye family. However, Lao Feng stretched his neck to look, and his stomach still growled cooperatively.
Lin Xiaofan was amused, "What's embarrassing?" I'll do it with my own hands, and if you don't eat it, you'll waste it. She looked around, "Why don't you go where you live?" ”
There are two bungalows built next to the swimming pool, although they are used as maids' rooms and isolated from the main house, but in fact the environment is very good, with unique leaves, large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the pool, backed by flower beds, the furnishings inside are simple but not rough, but like two small study rooms or painting studios and the like.
Lin Xiaofan saw that there was a set of white wrought iron tables and chairs in front of the house, so he proposed, "The weather is so good, the sun is not hot at this time, so let's eat outside?" Ah......" she looked at the basket, "I forgot my glass." ”
"I'll get it." Old Qian greeted and walked quickly into his room on the left.
Lin Xiaofan and Lao Feng took out everything for breakfast, including toast, cheese, omelette, bacon, and fruit...... Completely prepared according to the western breakfast.
Lao Feng looked very happy, smiling and revealing two rows of white teeth.
But at this moment, a black shadow jumped over like lightning, and the fat body of a ball fell on the table as light as a butterfly, almost knocking over the jam bowl, one blue and one green, and the two eyes were burning and shining, it was the black cat that almost scared Lin Xiaofan out of his soul last night.
It seems that it was attracted by the taste of the fish steak.
"Hey, you're rude, aren't you?" Lin Xiaofan was shocked for a moment and immediately came back to his senses, pointed at the black cat and scolded, "This is breakfast for the two uncles, if you want to eat, follow me to the kitchen, I will help you get fish, pure fish!" ”
As she spoke, she was about to carry the black cat off the table, but Lao Feng grabbed her arm violently. He used so much force that he almost dragged Lin Xiaofan to a stumbling block, and his fingers pinched her flesh and skin even more.
"What's wrong?" She was surprised.
Being so close, the horror on Lao Feng's face was so clear that it could never be disguised. His eyes widened, and his lips were bloodshot, "Undead...... Advocate of the Dead! He pointed to the black cat.
