"Welcome to my new home!" Cynthia smiled and proudly gestured as Rodin looked up to see smoke coming out of the chimney on the roof. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He gently pushed open the half-closed door, and entered the two-storey exquisite western-style building with some trepidation.

Walking through the short wooden corridor, candlesticks and oil lamps illuminate the entire hall.

Illuminated by a warm orange glow, a large long table large enough to hold ten people came into view.

The floor and walls are smooth and clean, just like a new house.

Tables, chairs, cabinets, and floor-standing clocks were all available, and soup was boiling in the fireplace, and a rich smell of fish came to his face, and Rodin couldn't help but take a deep breath and suddenly feel a little hungry.

"Yes, Cynthia, is this the house you bought?" It stands to reason that Brando's ready-to-wear store would not arrange such luxurious accommodation for its employees, and such a small building could not be taken by Marelli without seven or eight thousand.

"Hehe, guess what?" the little girl smiled, revealing a hint of cunning.

"Hey!, look, look, who's coming?!" Cynthia's mother, Erica, greeted her with a smile on her face.

She had a swaddling swaddle tied to her chest, and the little one, Ryan, blinked his dark eyes and looked curiously at the stranger in front of him.

"Lord Rodin, I didn't expect you to come, a capable person like you must be busy all day long, right?"

"Where, now it's just a day in the Yankees, and it's a very idle day. “

"Cynthia, you girl is really, you don't tell me when the guest arrives, what should I do if I neglect the adult? ”

"Sit and wait, sir, Fletcher and they haven't arrived yet. ”

"The dishes are ready, and they are kept warm in the kitchen. If you're hungry, I'll bring you some. ”

Erica's sincere and enthusiastic attitude made Rodin let go of his worries and said with a smile: "Everyone is a family from Yinyi Town, you must not be so polite." Just call me by name. I'm not hungry right now, so let's wait and have a chat. “

"Alas, that's fine!"

Erica agreed after a little thought, glancing at Cynthia and Rodin's faces, the corners of her mouth curling inexplicably.

Rodin complimented, "Your house is so good. It's clean and bright, and I'm afraid it cost a lot of money. ”

"To tell you the truth, it's 7,000 Marelli in total. “

"Although most of it is borrowed from the big guys. ”

"But according to Cynthia's and me's income, it can be paid off in five or six years. ”

Luo Dan was surprised: "I can't see that you have a good relationship with the villagers in Yinyi Town, and you are willing to lend you such a large sum of money." “

Without waiting for her mother to answer, Cynthia interjected, "Actually, part of the money was obtained from Uncle Paine and Auntie. “

"Cynthia!?"

Erica suddenly gave her a stern look, and the little girl was suddenly silent.

Rodin couldn't help but show an inquiring expression, his eyes sharp.

Erica, gritting her teeth, struggled to explain, "Lord Rodin, it's not that we want to hide it from you. The Paine family hanged themselves more than a week ago. I left the money, and our family shared a house with them at the time, so we quietly swallowed it. “

"Oh, yes? How did I never hear of it?"

Rodin's tone was a little more stern.

Erica calmly faced his gaze: "Lord Rodin, it is indeed wrong for us to take the money from the Paine family in private, but for the sake of Ryan, I admit that it is wrong, if you think what I did is wrong, then punish me alone." “

Rodin's voice was silent for a moment, and he slowed down his tone and comforted: "You think too much, I'm here to eat tonight, to communicate with everyone, what to punish or not?"

"I understand your difficulties, it's just that I suddenly feel like two acquaintances have just gone, plus Ashley from the brothel on West Street, three people have died in our hidden town. I feel a little sad in my heart. ”

Erica also sighed: "I know Ashley too, I have always regarded her as a sister, and it will be her birthday in seven or eight days." Alas, what a pity, at a young age—"

Rodin interrupted, "Let's not talk about Ashley, tell me a little bit, how did Paine die? “

Cynthia on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

Sweetly coquettish: "I knew that Brother Rodin would not embarrass us." ”

Erica sighed and said, "The Paine family are all good people, they have been neighbors with us since they were in the town, and they often help our neighbors do small things on weekdays.

"It's a pity that they are old, and their sons and daughters-in-law have all died in the monster rebellion. After arriving in Elden, he was very uncomfortable with life here, did not look for a job, and couldn't bear to miss his relatives, so he was depressed all day. ”

"Maybe I couldn't think about it for a while, so I hanged myself at home. ”

"Alas. There may be something strange about it, but Rodin doesn't want to pursue it further.

"Don't talk about sad things, tell me how the big guy's life is going, is the work going well?"

Once the topic was shifted, the mother and daughter instantly became active.

"Brother Rodin, you don't know, Brando's shopkeeper has been kind to us, and he doesn't dislike us as sinners in the slightest. She is not only beautiful, but she often shushs everyone on weekdays, and we also take the leftovers from the store. “

Cynthia lifted the hem of her skirt and bent her knees slightly to Rodin to perform a ladylike salute, "My dress is made of those scraps. “

"But those who get to the flower shop are not so lucky, I heard Aunt Orin say that the flower shop owner has a bad temper, and it is common to beat and scold them, and they always like to deduct their wages. ”

Rodin listened quietly to their chatter, unconsciously deep in thought.

"Hey, Erica, Cynthia, little Ryan!"

"Welcome, welcome, come in, everyone is waiting for you. ”

Cynthia pouted, "Uncle Fletcher, you're late." ”

Fletcher grinned and said, "It's okay if I bring two more people, right?"

"That's better, it's crowded!"

Two girls followed Fletcher through the door.

One of them is Ka Lian, who is dressed up, wearing a light blue dress that supports her skin as white as snow, with light makeup on her face, and her facial features look more delicate and delicate.

Next to her was a short girl in a snow-white sleeveless shirt with a majestic chest. She is cute-looking, and the baby fat on her round face is very obvious.

Speaking according to fashion, he is a child-faced giant.

"This is Claire, Karen's good sister. I mentioned to you before, Rodin, remember?"

"Well, of course, what a beautiful lady. Contemptible Rodin, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Claire is still a hunter, right? “

Perhaps Rodin's eyes lingered on Claire's fiery figure for too long, and Cynthia, who was on the side, pursed her lips and quickly stepped forward to block his gaze.

"This sister, you are so beautiful. My name is Cynthia. “

"Sister, you're cute too. “

The hall, the long table, the crowd gathered.

More than a dozen dishes were served to the table one after another.

Cold salad, smoked cod, vegetable and fruit salad, braised lamb with champion wine, beef stew with potatoes, honey sausage, blueberry wine、、、、 a variety of dishes are dazzling, fragrant and appetizing.

A beautiful candlestick in the center of the long table sheds a warm orange glow, which sets off the atmosphere even more comfortably.

Rodin couldn't help but swallow, he hadn't eaten such a hearty meal in a month since he left Hidden Town and left Melissa.

Seeing everyone's eyes shining, Erica couldn't help but laugh: "You're welcome, everyone, eat quickly, otherwise the dishes will be cold." ”

"Come, brother Rodin, try this sausage. Cynthia was shy and timid in front of everyone, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Have you eaten your sausage?"

Fletcher, who was on the side, also thoughtfully served Karen with food, but before it could be delivered to her plate, Karen dodged away like a tiger and a wolf.

"What are you doing? It's not like I don't have long hands, come by myself!"

"Haha!" Fletcher withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and everyone laughed.

A quarter of an hour later, the table was in a mess, Rodin and Fletcher were full of oil, several ladies also did not care about their manners, and Carren was even more straightforward, holding the lamb chops in her hands and gnawing profusely sweating.

Even Ryan's little one joined in the fun in his swaddling clothes, waving his little hands and grinning.

Cynthia's little face was stained with a trace of oil, and Rodin didn't know if his head was short-circuited, or if there was something wrong, he stretched out his right palm and gently wiped it on her white face.

In an instant, both of them were stunned.

Cynthia blushed, while Rodin pretended to be stupid.

Most people are addicted to food enjoyment, but Claire has always been very bland, eating food in small bites, and some expressionless.

Everyone also chatted from time to time, and under Rodin's cold-hearted revelations, Fletcher became the target of the wash, and all kinds of deeds were unexpectedly pulled out.

Of course, most of it was Rodin who slightly reinvented the joke on Earth and pressed it on Fletcher.

As she spoke, even Claire, who was in a low mood before, couldn't help but smile.

"Rodin, I'm going to break up with you!"

"Don't be so stingy, Fat Fu, you can see that Karen is smiling too, which means that you have a better impression in her mind. ”

"Haha!"

Full of wine and food, guests and hosts are happy.

Everyone chatted about trivial things again, and Rodin felt relaxed, and the burden that had been pressed in his heart was invisibly put down, and there was a kind of complete cathartic pleasure.

While chatting, Karen suddenly asked, "Claire, do you have something on your mind today?" I look distressed. ”

Claire's expression flickered for a moment, her eyes flickered, and she sighed and said, "I really don't want to talk about these troubles on such a happy occasion. ”

The crowd fell silent and listened to her story.

"Everyone knows that I am a hunter, and I also have a team, although it is just me, my brother George and a few siblings who are small in size and have been tepid, but the victory is unity, and I take a few entrusted tasks from time to time, which is quite easy. ”

"But lately my brother George has been madly infatuated with a woman without knowing what ecstasy soup he has been dozen. He also had a big fight with two noble children and suffered a lot of injuries. “

"Two noble children?" Cynthia looked dazed, and Rodin's mind drifted to the duel not long ago.

The Hill family brothers are killing each other, could there be a connection between the two things?
