Chapter 43: The Little Visitor 1
After a few more days, the two of them had all returned to their house from the coffee shop, and Luo Yang tidied up a few rooms, using these empty rooms as guest bedrooms or storage rooms, even if they don't need them now, they may be able to use them one day in the future.
On this day, Luo Yang sat in his studio after getting up, his eyes were open to look at the furniture made of white logs around him, it was still early in the morning, his concentration had not yet reached its peak, and in his thoughts he heard the intermittent hard words of a rookie anchor faintly coming from the next room, it seemed that he was fighting all night again.
"Speaking of which, hasn't he been looking through my comics for a long time, but the game is more attractive......" Luo Yang began to think about it, thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little lost, and then he stretched out his hands and patted his face, and after regaining his spirits, he started a new day.
It's just that today seems destined to be an unusual day.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock at the door in the morning, and unlike the knocking on the door as if Wu Gege was dismantling his belongings, it could be heard from the low and quiet knock that the knocker was a polite and restrained child.
Last time it was the ghost king and last time it was the mountain god, which god is this visiting today? Shaking his head in some confusion, Luo Yang walked briskly down the stairs and opened the heavy door, and there were three strange boys standing outside the door, their faces full of curiosity and anticipation.
"What's the matter with you?"
"This is the Candy House!"
Luo Yang was startled by the shouts of several children in unison, but he soon understood the meaning of their words, the house was very different from the original after the overhaul, and even resembled a small town building at the foot of the Alps, the house relied on the verdant and pleasant mountain forest, giving people the illusion of isolation, and it was definitely an attractive new place for the children of the town.
Now that the house is finally back in habit, it's only natural that they want to visit or explore.
"So you want to come in and visit?"
Luo Yang didn't like this way of dealing with each other very much, and he wasn't good at dealing with children around ten years old, but seeing that these boys were quite well-behaved on the outside, they weren't the kind of bear children who destroyed the world and dismantled people, so he agreed to let them in and take a few turns.
"Be quiet, there's someone upstairs...... Job. By the way, remember to take off your shoes and leave them at the door before coming in. ”
"We know—" The three boys took off their shoes one after another—their shoes were stained with a slight spring mud, and they had been playing outside for a while in the morning, and then several of them entered the house one by one.
As a few light footsteps faded away, the heavy door closed again, and if the scene was accompanied by a thick and exaggerated narration, it would definitely have a terrifying fairy tale atmosphere.
"Ah, there's cats there! What a sturdy cat. At a glance, the boys saw the cat orange lying on the carpet of the living room, and the three of them immediately surrounded it, and the orange was not stunned at all, still lying there like an uncle, wiping his cheeks with his paws from time to time, and at the same time raising his eyes to look at the boys.
"I warn you, don't touch it casually, it's very fierce and will bite."
Luo Yang stood not far behind them with his hands folded in front of his chest with a solemn expression, so as to stop the boys from running around in time, and Tangerine also yawned facefully, exposing all his sharp teeth.
"Huh!"
The boys were afraid to touch the orange, but they still ran around it, trampling the neat carpet a little messy, but luckily they had taken off their shoes, otherwise the soft plush carpet would have been muddy by now.
"It turns out that the interior of this house is similar to my house."
"yes. I thought there would be something incredible, there was no witch's vat, and the floor was not covered with candy and biscuits. Luo Yang doesn't like that kind of sweets very much, and of course he doesn't sit idle in the room.
Luo Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the curiosity of these boys gradually subsided in the exploration of touching and touching here and there, thinking that soon these boys should be able to go home, after all, although the appearance of this house is full of luxury, the interior is not particularly pompous, and it is not much different from the decoration of ordinary people's homes.
"If you've had enough......"
"Wow, there's the second floor! Can we go up and have a look? ”
“…… Well. Be careful when going up the stairs. ”
Luo Yang sighed as he said in his heart that it seemed that the first floor had not completely satisfied their curiosity.
The boys laughed and trotted to the second floor, where the few ordinary guest rooms and empty storage rooms naturally did not attract their attention, but for the dark room with a closed door in the corner, they did not seem to dare to look at it for a while, and could only walk to an open room with an open door.
This room is naturally Luo Yang's studio, and the top of the room is designed with several small glass windows, through which the daytime sunlight or night starlight can be sprinkled on the floor on the side, so that Luo Yang can comfortably work in a warm environment.
Seeing the boys running into his studio, Luo Yang suddenly became nervous, after all, the original manuscript he had just started drawing was still on the table, although it was only the draft stage, but if it was dirty, he would definitely feel distressed.
"Huh?! I know this, it's a comic draft! ”
The boys honestly didn't mess around, they just gathered around their desks and pointed at the paper from afar.
"This character...... This is not "Let's visit the food in the city of monsters!" >> So you're the author's teacher? One of the children suddenly covered his mouth in some surprise.
Suddenly hearing this familiar name, Luo Yang was stunned, and then nodded.
"Have you read my comics?"
"Hmmm! I want to be a manga artist in the future! Can the author's teacher teach me then? There seemed to be a strange glint in the child's eyes.
This sudden question made Luo Yang a little embarrassed, he didn't want to accept such a small apprentice, he also wanted to have more time for himself, but he didn't want to reject this child forcefully, which would completely extinguish the latter's enthusiasm. After pondering for a moment, Luo Yang spoke:
“…… This is all for the future, and now your task is to study hard. ”
"Yes! By the way, Mr. Author, what's in that locked room? It looks a little eerie from the outside. ”
"There......
Hearing this, Luo Yang looked at the room in the corner of the second floor, he was also a little puzzled, it seemed that there had been no movement in it for a long time, and he didn't know what the ghost boy was doing inside.
