What Fanny hit was a mailbox for receiving letters, a wooden structure that was set up at the entrance of the villa.

This mailbox is very old, and the old color of the storm is clearly visible even in the moonlight. This kind of thing is known at first glance as a thing of the last century, and it was also used by many people at the beginning of this century, when people's communication was mainly based on lettering, and later with wireless telegraphy, this kind of mailbox gradually withdrew from the stage of history.

Perhaps the owner of the villa, in order to maintain the quaint style of the manor, did not tear down this outdated wooden mailbox, and still let it stand at the door of the villa. The old mailbox was skewed a little after being hit by Fanny, and it looked like an old man who had gone through a hundred years of vicissitudes and bent over and whispered something.

Fanny saw that the mailbox had been crooked by herself, and immediately reached out to straighten it, but because the wood at the base of the mailbox was rotten and the foundation was unstable, she fiddled with it for a while to no avail.

William Pitt smiled and said, "Let's go and rest first, and then come back tomorrow to fiddle with it." ”

Fanny sighed and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry to have broken your things when I first came." ”

William Pitt smiled: "It's okay, it's just a mailbox, I haven't used it for many years, and it's not in the way if it's broken." ”

After William Pitt finished speaking, he led Fanny to the gate of the villa, and there were two rows of servants standing at the door of the villa, and when the two passed in front of them, these servants all bent down and bowed their heads respectfully, "Hello young master—good young master, good young master." ”

Fanny was a little embarrassed to hear this title, but at the same time a little happy, only to see her smile and say, "You can't call me that, I'm not the young master's wife yet." ”

William Pete laughed and asked his subordinates, "What about the master?" ”

The housekeeper said respectfully: "The master has already rested, and we have not informed him of the news that the young master has returned." ”

William nodded and said, "Well, my father is old, so I can't disturb him to rest." ”

Then the two entered the house. William Pitt arranged a room for Fanny, and then went back to his room to rest.

Half an hour later, Fanny, who had taken a shower and had eaten a late-night supper, slipped out of the villa in her pajamas. With a small shovel in her hand that she didn't know where to find, she walked over to the mailbox that she had knocked off, and then crouched down and got busy.

Fanny felt that the first day she came to Pete's house she had broken his things, which was a bad sign, and it was better to fix the mailbox herself, so as to save people from gossiping about herself, according to Fanny, she would still be here as a young master and wife in the future. It is naturally not a good thing to be gossiped about by subordinates.

The pedestal under the mailbox was rotten, and Fanny took a small shovel and dug up some dirt to fill it, then reached out to try to see if it was stable. She didn't need much effort, but the mailbox base made a soft "click" and actually broke. Fanny stuck out her tongue and looked around to see that there was no one around, and she immediately picked up the broken mailbox and ran into her room.

Fanny closed the door and looked at the mailbox in her hand, sighed, and said in her heart: It's okay now. Not to mention that the thing was not repaired, and I completely broke it, which is really unlucky.

Fanny placed the mailbox on the floor, and then tried to find a piece of wood to attach the pedestal. The mailbox just dropped to the ground. She noticed something unusual, only to see her turn her head to stare at the mailbox, muttering to herself, "There seems to be something in here......

Fanny picked up the mailbox again and looked through the light into the mailbox. Sure enough, I found a gray-brown oilcloth package. Since the color of this package is not much different from the wooden color of the mailbox, if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all. She also felt something flipping in the mailbox just now, and then she realized it.

The woman's curiosity was great, and Fanny hesitated to see what was inside the package, but curiosity overcame reserve, and she didn't even care about repairs, and reached out to remove the wooden baffle of the mailbox.

The tawny oilcloth package stored in the mailbox immediately appeared in front of Fanny's eyes. Fanny took out the package and reached out to measure it, and found that the package was very light, so she reached out and pinched it, and Fanny confirmed that it should be some literary information.

At that moment, Fanny unwrapped the oilcloth layer by layer with great curiosity, and the text inside gradually appeared.

Because the package was very tightly sealed, after many years, the contents were not damaged, and Fanny saw several family photos at once.

There are four photographs in total, a little apart in age, the oldest one should have been taken in the last century, there are more than a dozen people standing or sitting on the black and white background, and the clothes they are wearing also have obvious characteristics of the era.

Because it is well preserved, the faces on the photos are clearly visible. Fanny looked at a young man sitting in the center of the photo, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "This person really looks like Pete, I guess it should be his direct elder, right?" ”

Then Fanny took a closer look at the other people in the photo, and saw a very beautiful young woman sitting next to this young man, the young woman and the young man held hands, both of them had happy smiles on their faces, and they looked affectionate, it seems that this woman should be Pete's grandmother or something, right?

Fanny put down the photo and looked at the second one. The people in this photo are dressed more openly and flamboyantly than the people in the first photo, and the age should be closer to modern than the previous one.

Fanny looked at it for a while, and found that there was a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the photo, this man was about fifty years old, with a calm and majestic face, and at a glance he knew that he was a person who had been in a high position for a long time, he looked very similar to William Pitt, and Fanny said in her heart: This man should be the young man in the previous photo, but ...... How is it that the woman next to him has not aged at all?

Sitting next to this man was a very young and beautiful woman, this woman looked very similar to the woman in the previous photo, and if it weren't for the different clothes, Fanny would even think that the two were the same person.

Fanny stood for a moment, a little confused, and then looked at the others in the photo. She noticed that there was a little girl in the photo who looked very similar to the one in the previous photo, and the others were completely different from the person in the previous photo.

When she saw the third photo, Fanny was even more puzzled, because some people in this photo are very similar to the previous two photos, a man and a woman and a little girl in the photo still exist, and the man sitting in the middle looks older and older, but the young woman sitting next to him still looks very young, as if the years have not left any traces on her face at all, and the little girl is still so cute and beautiful.

The outfits of the people in this photo are closer to the modern era, and it is clear that there is a long time between the first photo and the third photo, which shows that the young woman in the photo is not the same person as the woman in the two photos, they just look alike. In particular, the man in the photo has a clear aging process, which makes it even more indicative that the woman is a different person.

If the woman in the three photos is not the same person, things are a little incredible. It's not that there are people who look alike in this world, but it's rare to see a woman as young and beautiful as these three women, and with such a high degree of similarity.

Fanny was stunned for a moment, and said to herself: Could it be that the man in the photo loves his first wife very much, so when he gets married in the future, the wife he finds is very similar to his first wife? Well, that's how it should be.

Fanny thought of this and looked at the fourth photo, this photo should have been taken not long ago, at most ten or twenty years ago, the man in the photo is even older, but there is still a young and beautiful woman sitting next to him, this woman is still very similar to the woman in the three photos above!

In addition, there is a little girl in this photo who is almost exactly the same as the one in the first three photos!

Unlike the previous three photos, there are two other young boys, one of whom is standing in front of an old man and the other in a wheelchair. The little boy in the wheelchair had a somewhat deformed head, and the sides of the head were larger than normal, and Fanny felt familiar at first glance, only to hear her mutter, "This little boy in a wheelchair can't be Pete's younger brother Peere, right?" In this case, the little boy standing should be Pete. ”

After Fanny finished speaking, she stared at the photo of William Pitt when she was a child, and said with a smile while looking at her: "I didn't expect Pitt to be so handsome when he was a child......

As soon as Fanny said this, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, only to see her frowning and staring at the few people in the photo, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, Fanny's face suddenly changed, and as soon as the photo in her hand was given, it fell to the ground, and then Fanny was shocked and said, "This ...... What's going on! Why does this old man appear in every photo? If he really is Pete's father, then ...... So what role does he play in the first few photos? ”

Fanny finally saw the problem, these four photos are obviously family photos, the man in the middle is getting older and older, but he has always had a very similar lady and daughter by his side, and the others have changed wave after wave, but these three people have always been there!

From the position where he sits, it can be seen that this man must be the head of the family, and the woman and little girl next to him must be his wife and daughter, there is no doubt that each photo was taken in a different era, and this man is getting older and older in the photo.

In this way, this man has always been the husband of this woman and the father of this little girl, but ...... Why don't you see his grown daughter in the back photo? Even if his wife may have died of old age, his daughter should not die of old age, right? (To be continued......)
