Chapter 447: Dinner at the Castle
At the door of the hotel, Peacock looked at the strange foreign man who came to the door of his store, and asked politely: "Hello, is there anything I can help you?"
"Roar!" and in response, a bloody mouth baring its fangs went straight at his neck.
"Die!" Before the peacock could come back to his senses, he heard a coquettish reprimand from the side, and then his body was violently pushed away, and a piece of talisman paper was pasted on the foreign man's forehead.
"Great monk, you know that I, Ma Xiaoling, will never do a loss-making business, so the money from the hotel is offset by your life, do you have no opinion?"
Ma Xiaoling glanced at him, then swept her eyes over the neck of the foreign zombie, and saw that the tooth holes on it had not disappeared, obviously they had just been bitten, her face couldn't help but sink, and she said solemnly: "Listen to the stinky monk, I don't care what the master's decree you have, if you don't want anyone to be hurt again, it's best to tell me the truth!"
A Japanese monk came to the UK to open a hotel, no matter how she looked at it, it was not an ordinary thing, she knew that this peacock must have something to hide from herself.
Hearing this, the peacock was silent, thought for a moment, and then looked at her as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Do whatever you want, I promise that your friend will never be okay until you come back!"
Perhaps hearing the movement outside, Wang Zhenzhen suddenly poked her head out of the window of the room on the second floor and asked, "Xiaoling, what happened?"
Ma Xiaoling didn't want her to be afraid, so she hurriedly pushed the zombie that had been fixed into the peacock's arms, pretending to be relaxed and pointing at the peacock and smiling: "It's okay, his friends came to him." Oh, by the way, Zhenzhen, when God bless comes back, let's go. ”
After arriving in this town, a series of strange things had told her that this was not a place to stay for long. If she is only one person, it is nothing, if she takes Guo Tianyou and Wang Zhenzhen with them, no one dares to guarantee that there will inevitably be no accidents at that time.
"No, you're leaving? Didn't you say you're going to Riley's place for dinner?" At this moment, Kim Jung-jung ran out and complained, "Master, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right? Besides, if you want to leave, you have to contact the car a day in advance, and you can't leave today!"
Wang Zhenzhen also said: "Yes, Xiaoling, Mr. Riley will invite us to dinner in the evening." ”
Ma Xiaoling thought for a while, then compromised: "Okay, just stay for another night and leave tomorrow morning." ”
After speaking, she glanced at Xia Yang: "Mr. Xia, what about you?"
"It's a coincidence, I'm planning to go to Hong Kong tomorrow. Xia Yang smiled.
Hearing his words, Wang Zhenzhen and the others were stunned at first, and then shouted that they were fated and agreed to contact them after arriving in Hong Kong.
Soon, the time was night, and before dark, Xia Yang, Ma Xiaoling, Guo Tianyou, Wang Zhenzhen and Jin Zhengzhong had already arrived outside the castle on time.
As before, with a soft "creak", the ancient gate opened on its own to both sides. Riley, the host, stood in the middle of the hall, looked at them with a smile and said, "Welcome!"
After they entered the castle, Riley looked at everyone again and smiled: "It's been a long time since this is so lively, and the two young ladies are really dressed today." ”
"Thank you. Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen responded politely.
Follow Riley to the restaurant on the second floor, and what catches your eye is a very gorgeous decoration, as well as an old Western-style long table, and the reflection of the sumptuous dinner candlelight, there is an indescribable nobility and elegance.
Although Xia Yang didn't speak, there was also a hint of admiration in his eyes, there was no doubt that this was a real nobleman.
After taking his seat, Riley raised the goblet of red wine in front of him and said with a smile: "Come, let's meet the old acquaintance in another country, cheers!"
Guo Tianyou also raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Cheers to the hospitable host!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine.
Then, the six of them chatted while eating, and they all seemed to be intoxicated with this rare happy time, like a beautiful dream, which made people linger and unforgettable.
However, although the guests and hosts enjoyed this meal, Ma Xiaoling did not forget the business, and after eating and drinking, she suddenly put down the wine glass in her hand and said, "Why don't we tell the story of zombies again." ”
"Don't you, don't you say, didn't you already say it this morning?" Kim Zhengzhong glanced at his master a little speechlessly.
Ma Xiaoling smiled and looked directly at Riley: "Zhenzhen said in a daze this morning, I think what Mr. Riley knows, it must be clearer, isn't it?"
Besides, Tianyou and Wang Zhenzhen subconsciously set their eyes on Riley, although they didn't speak, the curiosity on their faces was very obvious.
"It seems that if I don't say it, Miss Ma won't let me go. Riley smiled helplessly.
"I'm sorry, it's an occupational disease. ”
Although Ma Xiaoling said that she was embarrassed, she didn't look embarrassed at all.
Riley hesitated slightly, then slowly stood up, glanced around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, the story told by the elves this morning happened in this ancient castle. ”
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, just as he said this, a thunderclap suddenly sounded outside the castle, and the lightning pierced the dark night sky, reflecting the castle even more eerie and terrifying, startling a large group of bats.
Lai said in an extremely low tone: "A long, long time ago, there was a man who willingly turned into a zombie in pursuit of immortality! Later, this man began to regret it, because he realized that he was just a monster, living by blood, which was not tolerated by the world, and it turned out that the price of immortality was eternal suffering. So, he took the maid, who was also a zombie, to this remote castle, thinking that he could stay away from the world and survive in secret. But misfortune did not let him go, and one day, the man happened to meet a woman who caught his heart, a woman who was bold and cheerful, but who cried easily......"
As he spoke, the storyteller seemed to be caught in a memory, and the listener was silent, and there was no sound in the quiet castle.
I don't know how long it took, maybe I couldn't stand this silent depression, but Guo Tianyou took the lead in breaking the silence and proposed with a smile: "Why don't we play the game of picking up the story, okay?"
Without waiting for the others to agree, he said to himself: "Since I proposed it, I will say it first." Then, the woman often went to the man, and the man slowly forgot that he was a zombie and began to fall in love with the woman. Maybe not, this man hasn't forgotten that he is a zombie at all, because zombies are also human and emotional. So, although he knew that he was wrong, he continued to be wrong. ”
"The man must have been able to bite the woman and suck her blood dry, and it turned out to be a tragedy. ”
At this moment, Jin Zhengzhong took over the conversation, and after speaking, he took it for granted, which provoked Wang Zhenzhen to retort on the spot: "Of course not, they will get married!"
"It's all the same. Ma Xiaoling shook her head and said, "That zombie thought that he could hide his identity and be with a woman all his life, so on the Elf Festival fifty years ago, he invited the whole city to attend the wedding together, but the wedding was still tragic in the end." ”
"The last ...... of the wedding It became a tragedy......" Riley muttered under his breath.
"What about the tears that day?" Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but ask, this kind of thing is the ultimate purpose of her coming to the UK this time.
"Angel's tears?" is the man's wedding gift to the woman, and the catalyst for tragedy. Riley stared at the candlelight and said in a deep voice, "On the night of the wedding, a group of bandits broke into the church, and they killed people on sight, in order to snatch the tears of the angels. Blood drove the man insane, causing irreparable tragedy, and when the woman turned into a zombie, she left the place and never returned, and the guests who died that night were left in the castle as ghosts. They are all waiting, hoping that one day, when they see this man atone, they will not die!"
"Then where did this man go in the end?" Guo Tianyou couldn't help but ask.
Riley didn't speak, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly turned his head and looked at everyone with a complicated gaze: "Maybe that man is me!"
