ChineseInside the Villa of Laikaon (Werewolf): Before the sky turned white, Ning Jian opened his eyes.
Watermark Advertising TestWatermark Advertising TestThe feeling of suffocation in the chest is gone, and the mood is no longer nervous, all that remains is the muscle soreness caused by exertion and lack of sleep.
Ning Key looked around, it was a small room, about the same size as the room he lived in on Yuanxi Avenue, and the floor could not be seen from Ning Key's angle, because he was lying on the inside of the big bed, and the furniture in the room was tightly arranged, and there was little room for walking.
There is an iron-framed window next to the edge of the big bed, which is open three times, but only the sash on both sides can be opened, and the middle 1/window sash seems to be fixed on the window frame, because Ning Key can't see the open handle or latch, and he can't move it when he pushes it with his hand.
All the light sources in the room were from this window, and the faint morning light only exceeded half of the bed, and the rest of the place was still in darkness.
Ning Jian likes this feeling, he is a person who is not good at words, and he likes to hide in his own small circle like Xiaobu, like an ostrich with his head hidden.
Lying on the bed, Ning Key's mind was not fully clear, he stared out of the window, with that little bit of morning light, he was admiring the scenery in his heart, the scene outside the window did not enter the pupil at all, but the memory in his heart was reflected scene by scene.
What a wonderful world it used to be for two people, they were nestled in a rental house, playing chess whenever they had time, and Xiaobu actually didn't know how to play chess at all.
Always troublemakers and repentance. But even if that kind of wayward behavior is done a million times, Ning Jian will not get bored, and the two of them always laugh because of it.
Thinking of this, the corners of Ning Key's mouth unconsciously smiled, "How long has it been since I've smiled so sweetly?"
Ning Jian thought, 'Is it a year?' Two years? Or ten years? Thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out himself, anyway, since Grandpa Xiaobu found out about their relationship, he had a hard time.
I have neither money nor ability, so I can only rely on the meager income of my part-time job to support Xiaobu. He once thought that Xiaobu would soon break up with him after losing his grandfather's living expenses.
Thinking about it, it is true, how can the grandson of a famous painter like Xiaobu endure a life of suffering for a long time!
? However, Ning Jian never thought that Xiaobu actually survived, and it was not a year, but a full ten years, and he suffered for ten years with him.
During this time, Xiaobu never complained to him, and never wanted to leave.
Ning Jian is also more determined in his love because of this. He worked hard to save money, and used his first savings plus the inheritance left by his parents back home, as well as a financial support from his sister to start a small company.
But I didn't expect that the company had just been in business for less than three months, and all the money was lost, and there were foreign debts.
Ning Jian almost wanted to leave this world for this. In the end, it was his sister's persuasion and Xiaobu's love that pulled him back from the death line and regained his strength.
However, the difficulties are in front of us, and it is simply impossible not to solve them. So Ning Jian hid from Xiaobu and agreed to the pursuit of Xiaoxin, the daughter of the former company boss.
Xiao Xin has not had a good impression of him for a year or two, and Ning Jian could resolutely refuse at first, but later, for the sake of money, he compromised.
He wanted to wait for the company to be on the right track and be profitable, so he would find a reason to get rid of his current wife and return to Xiaobu.
Later, the company began to make money, but he still couldn't get rid of it, because 80% of the start-up capital was taken out by his wife.
If that much money is divided, the company will immediately go out of business. Then, the company made more and more money, but no matter how much it still belonged to the joint property of the husband and wife, it was reluctant to give up.
So he bought a house for Xiaobu to compensate him, but Ning Jian knew very well in his heart that if it weren't for loving him, Xiaobu would never choose to wait.
originally thought that after Xiaobu's grandfather died, there would be a fortune waiting for them, but they didn't expect that Xiaobu's grandfather actually only left a dilapidated villa in the forest for him, and nothing else, even the ownership of this villa could not be owned until Xiaobu was 0 years old.
As for Xiaobu's grandfather's paintings, they were all sold as early as before his death, and the money sold was not mentioned in the will at all, whether it was spent or donated, Xiaobu didn't know, because he hadn't been home for more than ten years, so it was equivalent to no money.
This time, Ning Key's last hope was gone, and he could only maintain an unhappy marriage and struggle in a deeper whirlpool...... Thinking of this, a sigh overflowed from Ning Key's mouth, and even he didn't notice it.
"Are you awake? How does your body feel? There was a deep baritone behind him, and he didn't sound young.
Ning Jian turned his head and saw an old man wearing a Chinese shirt, black pants, and an olive-green coat.
The old man is very well maintained, and he looks like he is in his early sixties at most, but looking at his gray hair, he looks like he is seventy or eighty years old.
"Uncle, who are you?"
"Ah, I am the custodian of this family, my name is Wei Xinrong, you just want me to be the housekeeper here." The old man said with a smile, looking very talkative.
Ning Key couldn't be too rude, after all, he wasn't too seriously injured, so he propped up his body and said respectfully: "My name is Ning Key, thank you for saving me in the forest." What kind of place is this? ”
"This is Villa Laikaon, it's not me who saved you, but we call the little master."
"Villa Lecaon!! So, then what's the name of your little master?! Ning Jian couldn't wait to ask, a light of hope flashing in his eyes.
Maybe the old man Wei Xinrong knew his thoughts, so he didn't show a surprised look, and still kept a smile and said: "The name of our little master is Su Bu, but he has been out for the past few days, and he won't be back until two weeks later, and he hopes that you will wait for him here." ”
"Is that really what Xiaobu said? So, you know about us, uncle!! Ning Jian lifted the quilt and got off the bed, and the person suddenly became much more energetic.
Because it could be heard from the butler's words, Xiaobu did not give up on him. The old butler nodded at him and said, "Yes, I am responsible for everything Mr. Ning is here, and you can tell me anything at any time." There are also two maids, one for hygiene and the other for cooking and laundry. We have breakfast at nine o'clock in the morning every day, the lunch time is not fixed, you can set it according to your preferences, dinner is eight o'clock in the evening punctually, and the little master hopes that Mr. Ning can take the time to call home, so as to save the family from worrying. ”
"Okay, I see, Uncle Wei, do you know when Xiaobu will come back?" Ning Jian will agree no matter what Wei Xinrong says now, because his whole mind is on Xiaobu.
"I don't know very much about that. If Mr. Ning is in better health, he can walk around the house and get acquainted with it. This is the little master's room, including his study, you can come and go as you like. If you don't want to wait and want to go home, then the little master will let me personally send you out of the forest. ”
"No, no, I'm willing to wait for small steps, I'll stay here, I'll trouble you these days!" Ning Jian hurriedly expressed his intentions and bowed to the old butler.
"Then I won't bother, it's four twenty o'clock in the morning, Mr. Ning, you can sleep for a while, wait for breakfast, the maid will come knocking on the door." By the way, there is no mobile phone signal here, and when saving you, the little master found that your mobile phone was broken, so you can use the phone at home, it doesn't matter, you just treat this place as your home. After the housekeeper finished speaking, he owed a slight debt to Ning Jian and walked out of the door.
When the door was closed, Ning Key remembered to take a closer look at the room in front of him, it was very simple, it didn't look like a villa owner's room at all, if Ning Key didn't know Xiaobu's character very well, he would definitely think that Steward Wei was lying.
Xiaobu did come back here, it seems that I have come to the right place, fortunately there is no turning back. Ning Jian rejoiced in his heart, his hand touched the dusty table and chair, and he didn't have any suspicion at all.
Every piece of furniture here is covered with a thick layer of dust. Listening to the housekeeper's tone just now, Su Bu should have been back for a while, why is there still such a thick layer of dust on the furniture in his room?
Didn't he live in this room all along? Or is there some other reason. But none of this can enter Ning Key's mind now, he is thinking about how to explain this matter to his wife, and then immediately hire a lawyer to divorce, even if all the company's property is transferred to his wife's name at one time, Ning Key doesn't care now.
With small steps, even the Lai Ka Wing Villa in the forest became so cute and warm in his eyes.
'Xiaobu, come back early, I will stay here with you for the rest of my life, I will spoil you for the rest of my life, and listen to you for everything!
Let Ning Jian enjoy the impact of happiness in the room alone, and our gaze extends out from the window of the small step room.
The room Ning Key was currently in on the top floor of a three-story building, which was a brick structure with a grayish-brown color, and the brick walls were completely worn out, covered with moss and unknown plants.
There is even a small tree growing on one side of the balcony, and the canopy completely covers the southeast corner of the balcony, taking up about a fifth of the walking space.
Underneath the balcony is the main door of the villa, which is indented a large stretch of it, and the outer edge of the balcony is supported by four stout wooden pillars, which are also mottled and look very old.
The entire Villa Lecaon stands on the edge of a small crystal clear river, facing south and facing the river. There is a low brick embankment on the side of the creek that prevents people from inadvertently falling into the water.
The balcony is located directly in front of the third floor and looks out from the window of the small step room with a panoramic view. It is east-west, and the small step room is in the westernmost direction.
There are two more rooms to the east, both with door numbers on the outside. In the middle lived the housekeeper, and in the easternmost room, where the window was blocked by the canopy of a small tree, lived two maids.
The next two floors are not anything special due south, except for the entrance on the first floor, which is full of brick walls.
Because the windows on the first and second floors open on the east side, not on the south side. The second floor is a simple living room, almost decorated, looking like a hunter's hut, the only difference is that the hunter's hut is full of taxidermy animals, and here it is full of live animals.
For example, in a large open drawer, covered with straw and leaves, between which three chicks are waiting to be fed, and between the open sashes, two adult turtle doves are flying around, bringing back food to feed the chicks, and the house is full of chirping and chirping, but no one is annoying.
For example, on a certain fluffy mat, a hare is sleeping soundly, it is surrounded by gnawing on leftover carrots and potatoes, and even rolls to the center of the room, and the maid who cleans in the morning walks by and almost trips, but only smiles at the little rabbit, does not disturb its dreams, and gently puts the food on the edge of the mat and leaves.
There are also black cats blended with black wool shawls, and little squirrels swinging on blue wind chimes, which are simply fairy tales in the forest, and do not feel like the hermitage of a serious old painter at all.
The reason why it is the way it is now is completely after the death of the old master, the custodian Wei Xinrong was transformed at the request of the little master Su Bu, Su Bu has been an introverted but imaginative child since he was a child, and he especially likes animals and plants.
Perhaps in the hearts of Wei Xinrong and the maids, the current Laikaon Villa is what it should be, and everyone feels more relaxed and happy working here than ever.
Wei Xinrong manages a small savings account for Su Bu, although it is not much, but the monthly interest is enough for Lai Ka Villa to use, and most of their expenses are used for house maintenance and repairs, in fact, all food and water come from nature.
The older cook, who came from the countryside, cultivated a large field behind the villa, and she could not eat all the vegetables she grew with the animals.
The water is also self-sufficient in the small river in front of the house, but of course it is not possible to drink it directly, and there is a small water purification facility in the house.
Every morning, the younger maids would go to the river to fetch water, purify it, boil it on the stove, store it in a dozen hot water bottles, and fill the two electric kettles to ensure that the family had enough water to drink.
They don't use gas, they burn stoves, they use firewood. As for electricity, there is a generator in the basement, which is enough for the whole family.
There is a telephone in the house, which is the only device for communicating with the outside world, also in the living room on the second floor. Entering the first floor from the villa gate, there is a kitchen on the left, a storage room on the right, and the middle leads to the stairs like an entrance, and the middle wall and the wall of the living room on the second floor and both sides of the stairs are hung with paintings (imitations) of Grandpa Su Bu, all of which are natural scenery and complement the current layout of the house.
Morning has come, the house is getting more and more lively, and Ning Key, who got the good news, can't sleep anymore, he thought about how to explain to his wife Xiaoxin, then put on his coat and prepared to go downstairs to wash.
The bathroom for washing is about the size of a room on the first floor between the storage room and the staircase, and it is clean and well-equipped.
It's no different from the restrooms of ordinary people in the city. At this moment, it was the time for the little maid to carry water and boil water, so Ning Jian would soon meet her on the first floor.
