"Really?"

The little girl looked surprised, pressed the snow and wanted to stand up, sat down again, Huang Sheng stretched out her right hand wearing thin white gloves, and smiled: "Beautiful little lady, can I serve you?" ”

The little girl lowered her head in embarrassment and stretched out her little blue and purple hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's so cool......"

Almost like holding a piece of stiff wood that had been frozen in the snow for three days and three nights, Huang Sheng gently pulled her up and led her across the street, and the waiter at the door of the café stopped her and said, "Sir......"

Huang Shang handed over a shilling, and the waiter immediately retreated.

When he came to the cubicle, Yu Tunan had already called for some simple food, bread, sausages and cereal, and asked softly, "What is your name, how much do these matches cost?" ”

Although the little girl's clothes were shabby, they were very clean, and there was no ash on her face, her big eyes flashed, and she said timidly: "Honorable young lady, my name is Sylvie...... These matches cost a total of two pennies. ”

At that time, the British currency was divided into three types, pounds, shillings, and pence. One pound is equal to twelve shillings, and one shilling is equal to twenty pence, and the 404 silver dollars brought by Huang Shang were exchanged for a total of 27 pounds, 5 shillings, and 13 pence in the manor.

Sylvi took the money, looked at the steaming food on the table, and secretly swallowed her saliva, Yu Tunan smiled: "Sit down and eat, I want to ask Sylvi something after eating, is it okay?" ”

"Thank you, Miss!" Surprised and delighted, Sylvie sat down, picked up the bread, and devoured it, almost choking.

"Slow down, slow down, no one is robbing you." Yu Tunan pushed over a glass of warm water and gently patted her back.

As she ate, Sylvie burst into tears, quickly wiped it, raised her head and asked, "Kind young lady, kind sir, can I take this food home?" ”

She only ate half of the food on the table, and Yu Tunan asked, "Why?" ”

"Mom and Dad are at home...... Also hungry and I want to give them food. Sylvie whispered.

Yu Tunan touched her little face and said gently: "Good boy, of course you can." Is your home nearby? ”

"Hmm!" Sylvie nodded vigorously.

There were green vines crawling on the wooden planks of the compartment, Huang Shang sat up straight and looked around, no one paid attention, nodded slightly, and Yu Tunan asked, "Have you been selling matches on this street?" ”

"Yes, miss, I've got all the runs around."

"Have you heard any strange noises or seen anything unusual anywhere these nights?"

Silvie bit her nails, as if trying to think, and suddenly said, "A few days ago, I passed by Tom's house and heard some strange noises faintly coming from inside, count?" ”

Yu Tunan asked softly, "What kind of scream, do you remember?" ”

Sylvie thought for a moment and said, "Once I saw Uncle Anger killing a pig, and it was a bit like that cry. ”

Yu Tu Nan said: "Good boy, where is Tom's house, can you point it to us?" ”

Sylvie jumped up: "I'll take you there!" ”

Huang Shang called the waiter, packed the food, Sylvi carried it in her hand, the two looked at her thin clothes, and barefoot, and went to Mary's store opposite, but did not find any clues, only bought clothes and shoes for her, Yu Tu Nan took a fluffy little red riding hood in his hand, squatted down, tied a ribbon for Sylvie, looked at her little shoulder, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!" ”

Sylvi blushed, carrying a food box, jumped and ran in front, through an alley, to the back of Donglin Street, the bustling noise suddenly disappeared, as if filtered by trees, the house became dilapidated, low and small, and the light inside was no longer a light, but a dim candle flame, mixed with the very thin aroma of food, and there were faint quarrels, scolding, and the sound of falling things.

Huang Shang looked at his pocket watch, nine forty-five.

"That's Tom's house." Sylvie stopped suddenly, pointed to a house in front of her, and said, "Tom's family is very withdrawn, they don't hang out with people very often, and they live far away from everyone, so we all call them 'Tom the Weird's'." ”

It was a small two-storey dilapidated cottage with a small garden, sitting alone in the snow, surrounded by a few bare trees, and most of the red paint had fallen off from the fence-like iron gates, and the inside of the house was pitch black, without a trace of light.

Huang Shang asked softly, "How many people are in the weird Tom family?" ”

"There are two, Daddy Tom, and Son Tom Little."

Yu Tunan patted Sylvie's Little Red Riding Hood, leaned over and said gently: "Sylvie is doing a good job, now hurry home quickly, Mom and Dad are waiting for you!" ”

"Kind young lady, kind sir, may the Lord bless you all the time, goodbye!" Sylvie was as well-behaved and sensible as she looked, didn't ask much, bowed, and ran away briskly with the food box, disappearing into the darkness.

As soon as the little girl walked away, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the snow gradually stopped.

The two hid behind a big tree that was hugging each other, looked at the villa, and Huang Sheng asked in a low voice, "Is this it?" ”

"I can smell the blood inside," Yu Tunan said coldly, "I'll go in first, you watch outside, as soon as something happens, the yellow finch screams." ”

"No, I'll go." Huang Shang insisted.

Yu Tunan looked at him quietly for a while and said, "Be careful of everyone you meet." ”

"I will."

Huang Shang raised the black umbrella in his hand, smiled at her, took off the white gloves in his right hand, bent his waist, bypassed the place where the villa window could be observed, with the help of the hidden trees, slipped to the courtyard wall nearly two people high, listened for a while, took a few steps back, accelerated the run, jumped, kicked the wall, flew up, pressed his right hand on the wall, turned into it with the force, landed gently, stepped on the snow, and only made a slight sound.

Huang Shang bent down to the bushes, poked his head out, there were three pine trees planted in the garden, still a little green, a few flowers, piled with withered snow, the bushes where he was hiding also branched out, no one pruned them for a long time, the villa was still black, there was no light, only a trace of a very faint smell wafting out, a little fishy, presumably it was the bloody smell that Yu Tunan said.

Huang Shang silently recorded the smell, still avoided the window, left and right, touched the corner of the house, came to the window, listened quietly, there was a faint sound of chewing in the house, like a cat hiding under the bed eating mice, raised his hand to touch, the window of the hundred pages was locked from the inside, tried one by one, and finally the window on the west side was open, gently pushed open, pressed the edge of the window, and turned in.

In mid-air, his calves tightened and loosened slightly, as if he had torn off a thin line that was pulled in mid-air, Huang Shangxin screamed badly, and with a snap, the sound of a vase breaking sounded beside him, and the faint chewing sound stopped immediately.

By the light of the snow, Huang Sheng quickly slipped behind the door, stood against the wall, and pressed the handle of the black umbrella with his right hand.

Suddenly the lights came on.
