A week passed in a hurry, and although she had not seen it with her own eyes, Mrs. Halderson had basically confirmed that there was a woman hidden in Wang Xu's living room......

She didn't say anything more in front of Wang Xu, but the problem of these aunts who love to chew their tongues is the same all over the world, so this young gentleman, Mr. Atkinson, was called by the neighbors in just a few days: the playboy Atkinson who lives an inappropriate life. Of course, Wang Xu doesn't care, his skin is thick after all, and he still has a slight wonderful feeling in his heart, maybe a little bit of pride......

The kraken she had brought back from the sewers was named Eleanor, and her rotting skin and upturned scales began to heal soon after the curse was lifted, but her body was still weak.

In the past few days, Wang Xu has taken care of her very carefully, serving tea and water, making beds and quilts, and sleeping in the reception room every day, letting people sleep in his living room.

Every day he asked Mrs. Halderson to prepare a double portion, and then he took it to his room and watched Eleanor finish eating and then clean it up. Some people may think that Wang Xu's thoughtfulness seems a bit abnormal, but in fact, his real thoughts are very ridiculous, he thinks that as long as he supervises Eleanor to eat three meals a day, he can minimize the probability of the other party crawling out in the middle of the night and swallowing his brain......

Finally, after a week of recuperation, or rather, under Wang Xu's careful service, Eleanor regained her health, put on the clothes that Wang Xu had bought for her, and walked out of the room for the first time in seven days.

The cat master was sitting there reading the newspaper, Wang Xu was still bored fiddling with the playing cards, and when they saw Eleanor coming out, neither of them showed any surprised expressions.

She walked up to Wang Xu and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

This was the first time she spoke after the night she met Wang Xu, she told Wang Xu her name before she fell asleep that night, and these days she only communicates with Wang Xu by nodding and shaking her head, and at this moment this honey-like voice is absolutely different from the thick and hoarse voice at the beginning.

"Ah...... Nothing, we have an old Chinese saying, which basically means that it is better to save a life than to build a seven-story church. ”

"Hmm...... I really don't know how to repay you......" She also glanced at the cat master: "And you." ”

The cat master shook the newspaper: "This is similar to taking in stray cats, and it can't be called noble, so we don't need anything from you in return." He paused: "In the drawer on my left, I have prepared a document and some money for you, which is enough for you to live for a while, you take those, go out of this door, and then, according to us Chinese, you and us, like the water in the well and the water in the river, will never have any intersection again." ”

Eleanor really didn't expect the other party to say this, in any case, these words seemed very cold, she looked at Wang Xu with a pleading look: "Mr. Atkinson, is this what you mean?" ”

Wang Xu didn't look up at her at all, and continued to play cards: "Yes, it's just that I want to give you another piece of advice, if you still eat people in the future, our relationship will change to the hunter and the prey, which is what I don't want to see." ”

Eleanor bit her lip tightly, her eyes were misty with tears, as if she had been greatly wronged, and she just stood there, staring at Wang Xu.

The silence lasted for a full minute, and then she walked over to the desk next to the cat, took the contents of the drawer, and walked straight out of the door of the reception room.

The light footsteps went down the stairs, and Wang Xu raised his head: "How can she have feet......"

The cat master said: "The ability to transform appearance, she naturally knows, just like when you first saw her, she pretended to be a policeman, which is a survival skill of kraken hunting." ”

I said...... Isn't it a little too heartless for us to do this? If she ignites hatred for all mankind because of this......"

The cat master smiled predictively: "Hehe...... If you can't bear her...... Then chase it out, it's still too late. ”

Wang Xu put on an indifferent look: "Cut!" How is this possible? Chase out? Do I look like someone who would do that kind of thing? ”

"Hmph...... That's the best, but you must be careful, if there is any emotional entanglement with an existence like the siren, it will be bad. In the Odyssey story, Palmelope, the eldest of the three Sirens, is deeply in love with Odysseus, so the other party ties himself to the ship and has the rest of the crew plug their ears with wax...... That eldest sister killed herself......"

Wang Xu looked vainly: "Don't worry, I don't think this kind of thing will happen if a woman is martyred for me......"

The cat master seemed to suddenly think of something, and he said, "By the way, do you think that this Eleanor is a little familiar?" ”

Wang Xu responded: "I have noticed it a long time ago, but I just can't remember where I saw her before, I saw that you haven't mentioned it, and I thought it was your own delusion." ”

The cat master said: "Cut...... I saw her once on the day she came, and her face was swollen like a ball at that time, and I didn't take a closer look at her when I went in to take pictures of her in order to get a document yesterday, and I just found out that she was really familiar. ”

Wang Xu thought for a while: "We don't know any foreigners...... Moreover, she was a goblin more than a hundred years ago...... It's even more impossible for us to meet, is it because all the beauties in the world are somewhat similar? ”

The cat master obviously wouldn't agree with Wang Xu's passable explanation, but the sound of horses' hooves on the street interrupted his thoughts: "It seems that our client has visited the door again." ”

Wang Xu also heard the sound of the carriage, and he probed the past with his spiritual sense, and it was indeed Elstein, and by this time he had stepped out of the carriage and rang the doorbell.

Five minutes later, the client, who was still dressed in vulgar clothes, stood in front of Mao Ye and Wang Xu again, but his attitude was by no means as respectful as when he left last time.

"It's been a week, Mr. Logan! I haven't heard anything from you yet, I personally go to the post office every day to wait for your telegram about the latest progress, but I am disappointed every day! With all due respect, I doubt that you are really putting your talents and energies into my case, or that you are simply not up to the task. ”

Mao Ye smiled: "Actually, I think this job belongs to me, and I don't do a bad job." He took out a pen and paper and said, "Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, you can ask your coachman to take you to this place, it is a good restaurant, their violinists are excellent, and of course, the dishes are delicious...... Anyway, by then, my job will be all done and you'll get what you want. ”

Elstein calmed down and squeezed out a smirk: "Okay, Mr. Logan, I hope that tomorrow, everything can be resolved satisfactorily...... But I'll make it clear beforehand, if all this is just a prevarication and procrastination, then ......"

Master Mao continued his words and said, "Then, you will have other ways to solve the matter, am I right, sir?" ”

Elsstein snorted coldly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Goodbye, Mr. Logan, good luck!" With that, he slammed the door and left.

Wang Xu said: "Look at the little you did...... Pickling girls all day long is not doing their job, and even the delaying tactics just now have been easily seen through by others. ”

The cat master said: "Oh? Why do you think I'm just stalling for time? Do I have to lie? ”

"What? You mean it's done? ”

"Hey...... It's not hard to see through the whole thing, it's all about how do I make everyone happy and get my fair share of what I ask for......"
