19. Vampire Rumors (Part I)
I don't know if it's because of the jet lag, she doesn't sleep well. In a daze, someone seemed to walk past the door of her room, and his steps were very light, and he lingered at the door of her room for a while. Her heart was pounding, and if someone was standing nearby, they would definitely hear how violently her heart was beating. She was hesitating to get up and take a look, when there seemed to be another footstep softly, a small sound like the two of them talking outside her door, and after a while, the people outside the door left together. She forced herself to sit up at once, and in the dark room there was only a little moonlight leaking in through the curtains. She cautiously walked to the door and listened for a while, but there was no movement outside the door. She opened the door, and the light in the hallway was dimmer than it had been before she had entered, not glaring but illuminating enough. Her own shadow reflected in the opposite window was actually a little nervous, could it be that she was going abroad for the first time, so she felt uneasy?
"Ahh Then came a string of inaudible foreign Chinese, and soon there was no sound. Is there anyone upstairs who is uncomfortable? Do you want to check it out?
She cautiously walked up the stairs, and had just reached the hallway of the upper floor, when she was startled by the darkness here. The electric lights in the corridor on this floor are not lit, only the street lamps are illuminated by the light from the window. What's going on?
A dark shadow swooped out and grabbed her shoulders with both hands, goosebumps all over her body stood up! Because those hands were like raw pork in the freezer, the cold feeling kept sticking to her skin through her clothes. By the faint light outside the window, she saw the appearance of the man who had appeared in front of her and grabbed her shoulder—his face was unusually pale, and although this man was supposed to be Caucasian, his pale face did not look like a normal complexion! Moreover, the color of the man's lips was also unusually dark, and what frightened her the most was that a canine tooth shining with a cold light could be seen at the corner of the man's mouth!
She wouldn't have been so lucky to meet the rumored vampire as soon as she arrived at this hotel, right?!
At this moment, a steady voice did not know what to say in a foreign language, and the "vampire" who was holding her screamed like hearing a priest's prayer and fled into the darkness. What the hell was that...... She took two steps back, and she better hurry back to her room!
Sitting back on the bed, she still felt restless and couldn't seem to sleep. With a sigh of relief, she called the front desk to report the room number, "Excuse me, can you bring me a cup of hot milk?" ”
The front desk replied with a nice male voice and said to send it to her immediately. Sure enough, five minutes later, someone knocked on the door. "Guest, the hot milk you asked for has been delivered." It was Henry's voice.
She opened the door, "Thank you." He took the glass of milk from Henry's tray, which was steaming white.
"Guest, can't you sleep?" Henry asked with concern, "Your face doesn't seem to be good." ”
"It's a little, maybe the jet lag hasn't been adjusted." It was also the first time she had gone abroad, and she had crossed so many longitudes that she didn't know if it was the "effect of jet lag" as people said. All she knew was that she had just seen someone who she didn't know if she was a vampire or not, and her heart was still beating unsteadily. Did she fall asleep and see hallucinations?
"If you can't sleep, you can go to the living room next to the lobby, which used to be the living room of the castle owner, and now there are TV, books, newspapers, chess and cards and other things, you can go and pass the time." Henry said.
"I see." What are you talking about? I wonder if that "vampire" will still appear in the living room! Also, can the TV here still watch Chinese TV? How can I understand all French? However, if you can't read it, you may be able to recover your sleepiness sooner.
"Please don't go to the basement, though." Henry admonished.
Are the waiters at the Castle Hotel so attentive? "Can't you go to the basement?"
"Please don't go at night, it's close to the wine cellar, and if the guests accidentally break it, it will be very troublesome for both the guests and us." "During the day," said Henry, "just tell us and we'll take you there, where the doors are locked, and there's no way to get in without a key." ”
Basement? Wine cellar? Even if it's very close, as long as you don't enter the cellar, won't you break the bottle? Forget it, if you don't enter, you won't enter, anyway, she doesn't have much research on wine. Besides, I don't know if this Henry has found that his words are incompatible, since the basement is locked, and you can't enter without a key, why waste saliva to tell her? Doesn't he know that the more people say they can't do something, the more they want to do it? "I see, I understand."
"If you need anything, please feel free to call us." Henry politely said it and left.
"If you don't let you in, won't it make people want to go in more?" She took a sip of milk and walked out onto the small balcony of her room. On the balcony there was a set of wrought iron tables and chairs, a round table, two chairs, and a pot of blue violets on the table. I really didn't expect to see the violet flowers blooming in this spring in August, and the greenhouse cultivation is amazing. The flower language of violet seems to be "eternal charm" - huhu, is it because the owner of the castle wants the castle hotel he runs to have an eternal charm of attracting money?
Anyway, the air in the countryside is good, the air is so transparent, and the moon in the night sky is particularly bright. Looking out from the balcony is the garden behind the castle, as the garden is lit up by street lamps of the road, illuminating the manicured garden. Although this is French, the garden is as neat and rigorous as an English garden. It is completely different from the style of Chinese garden design. The night breeze blows, bringing with it the murmur of the trees and the faint aroma of the garden. I didn't expect Murrow to enjoy it and come to such a comfortable place for an interview. She only writes about virgin forests, mountains, grasslands, seasides and other places when she is engaged in a travel column, and she never thinks of using her position to relax and relax.
She stood up and suddenly saw what seemed to be someone downstairs. Still have the leisure to take a walk in the garden so late? Is it a vampire again?! She looked over and saw the appearance of the man walking downstairs, and she almost didn't fall off the balcony - she didn't see any demons, but a super beauty who didn't look like a human! Oh, my God! Is there such a beautiful person in this world? Although he has long hair, he can tell from his figure and appearance that he is a man, but there is still a difference between a man and a man! Under the moonlight, the man's golden hair was like a fine silk satin, exuding a soft light, a pair of sapphire eyes like a corner of the clear sky melted into his eyes, his skin was as white as milk, and his lips were like rose petals. Super eccentric~~
Suddenly, the man looked up and met her eyes. At that moment, the blood in his whole body seemed to suddenly freeze, and he couldn't move at all. The man said something to her, but she couldn't understand it, not English, maybe French, a language she didn't understand.
Just when she was still thinking about how to say hello, Henry ran out and grabbed the person who was so beautiful that he didn't look like a human being, and he didn't know what to say, and when he looked up, he saw that her face had changed drastically, "Guest, you haven't rested yet?" ”
"She's Chinese?" The mysterious beauty looked at her again and smiled slightly, "Good evening, Chinese girl." ”
Wow wow! Super beauty is talking to her! Not only are people beautiful, but their voices are also so magnetic and good-sounding! Just hearing him talk almost thought I was going to get pregnant! "Late, good evening......" The voice is shaking, it's so embarrassing!
"Let's go back!" Henry pulled the man anxiously, "The butler will have to be in a hurry later!" ”
"What is there to be nervous about? Goodbye, Chinese girl. The man waved at her and walked into the castle with Henry.
Strange, Henry's expression seemed to be a little flustered and scared, could it be that the person just now was the owner of the castle? Was Henry afraid that she, a guest, would be swept out of the house by sweeping her host's pleasure? Looks like there's some trouble here, too. She lay back on the bed, although she was not a professional portrait photographer, but the person just now was so beautiful and beautiful, I wonder if I could ask him to take two pictures of her? But although the man was beautiful, he always felt that something was wrong with his eyes. After thinking about it for a while, she didn't come up with anything, probably because she didn't have enough energy to think about it now. I feel sleepy after drinking milk, so let's go back to sleep.
