"Haha, hello Uncle Pannis. Two twin girls, who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with two identical faces, stood outside the gate smiling and greeting Pannis. The two girls were wrapped in light red coats, white scarves, a pair of thick black velvet pants on their legs, and a pair of light brown deerskin boots under their feet. The two girls also have long blond hair, the long hair is scattered behind the back, the only difference is that on the top of the head, both comb a handful of hair and tie it into a small braid, one on the left and the other on the right, only through these two braids, can distinguish two identical girls.

"Two little sisters. Pannis's face had what he thought was the kindest smile on his face: "Long time no see, I miss me, let my brother hug me." ”

"Hahaha, uncle, go away. One of the girls saw Pannis walking towards her with her arms outstretched, and fled from under Pannis's outstretched arms with a smile, while the other smiled and let Pannis take her shoulders.

"Whew!" Pannis had just succeeded, when he suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream, clasping his hands and jumping on the spot: "It hurts, it hurts, what is this." ”

"Hee-hee, Sister Lina gave me self-defense gear. The girl smiled evilly and took out a shoulder pad with many short spikes from under her coat, and shook it proudly in front of Pannis: "Sister said that it was specially used to guard against those strange uncles, and it seems to be very effective." ”

"Oh no, Ansha, you can't be like this, when I first met you, what a shy girl you were, how did you get educated like this by Lina?"

"Hehe, people always change with the environment. The girl known as Ansa took off the shoulder pad on the other side, carefully put it in the box and continued: "Moreover, I am actually Mao'er, not Ansha, hahahaha, uncle, you are really fooled." ”

"Mao'er?" Pannis, pointing at the girl in surprise, said, "Didn't you say that Ansa was the one with the braid on the left?"

"Hehe, we're swapping directions today. Mao'er shook the handful of hair on her head proudly: "Sure enough, except for Sister Lina, no one can tell the difference." ”

"Okay, okay. Pannis hung his head weakly: "I would have guarded against you if I knew you were Mao'er." ”

"That's why we swapped. Mao'er smiled and said, "Sister Lina said that Uncle Pannis is always sick intermittently, so you must be ready to take precautions at all times." ”

"Lina, bastard. Pannis waved his fist and said hatefully, "One day I will take revenge." ”

"Sister Lina is not wrong, uncle, you are indeed sick again. Ansha, the other half of the twins, hid behind her sister, showed half of her face and whispered, "We all saw it at the door just now, and you are being chased by Sister Catherine with a sword again." Sister Lina said, this means that uncle, you are sick again and need treatment. ”

"There is no need for treatment at all. Pannis shouted, "I didn't get sick at all, it was just an accident, Eun, it was just an accident, believe me." ”

"Then what did you do?" Mao'er leaned closer to Pannis, and asked in a low voice, "Why did this happen?"

"Look at Catherine, when she is working, she always has a serious and dedicated expression on her face, which is very interesting, isn't it?" Pannis said proudly, crossing his waist, "so every time I see this expression, I can't help but have an urge to go up and make trouble and tease her, just to see that expression change rapidly." This is also a hobby that normal people have, and it's not a disease at all. ”

"Uh, Uncle Pannis. Mao'er looked at Pannis's smug smile blankly: "A few days ago, Sister Lina taught us that no matter when and where, we must cherish life, because life is only once." ”

"Well, she's right. Pannis clasped his hands to his chest and nodded solemnly: "You should indeed remember this sentence." ”

"Alas. Mao'er sighed, looked at Pannis's face, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, pretending to pat Pannis's arm with a mature and comforting face, and said sadly: "Since this sentence is correct, alas, forget it, uncle, take care." ”

After speaking, Mao'er shook her head regretfully and walked past Pannis in the direction of the Western-style Pavilion. Ansa chased after her sister, and when she passed by Pannis, she also glanced at him with a sympathetic and pitying gaze, and whispered, "No matter what, uncle, you must live." ”

"I see, I have a sense of foreboding. Pannis stood stiffly in place, swallowed hard, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "I always feel that someone is standing behind me and staring at me, hehe, hehe, hehe, this must be an illusion, yes, it must be an illusion." ”

With a "whoosh", Pannis suddenly shrank his head and bent over, dodged a sword cut by Catherine from behind, turned his head and ran with both hands and feet, shouting as he ran: "Don't chase me, this is a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding, you see the weather is so good today, we should drink tea, chat, and solve the misunderstanding, don't use force." ”

"Poor uncle. Mao'er jumped up and down with her sister to the entrance of the mansion, accustomed to seeing Pannis escaping in front of her, and accustomed to seeing Catherine carrying a sword chasing behind, her face did not look pitiful at all, and shouted loudly: "Sister Catherine, I want to play with Anne." ”

"Anne is playing in the basement. Catherine replied, wielding her sword, "Warm up in the room first, and I'll help you get Anne up when I'm done with him." ”

"You can call it right now. Pannis wailed and ran, "I don't mind. ”

"I'm sorry, but I mind, you bastard, for letting you tease me on purpose, making you want to make trouble, and making you normal human like. Catherine swung her sword and chased for a while, then stopped angrily, pointed at Pannis, and said, "Punish you for clearing the snow in the whole yard, and you are not allowed to enter the house until it is cleaned." ”

"No, no. Pannis cried out in despair, "This is cruel, Catherine, you can't do this to me. ”

"Protests are ineffective. Catherine glared at Pannis, then turned to walk into the hallway: "This is the most merciful sentence." ”

It's freezing and snowy outside, but the roaring fireplace keeps the room warm and cozy, and once you walk in, you'll feel lazy. In the living room, the two girls, Mao'er and Ansha, had already taken off their coats and curled up in the soft rocking chairs by the fireplace very casually, squinting their eyes like two cats, and happily roasting the fire. The two girls' only loved ones died in the adventure and were met just before their deathbed by Lina, who accepted the last entrustment from a father and had been caring for the two poor children for several years. Since there is no adventure plan in the short term, Lina has often brought the two of them to the house to eat and play since she returned from the Flash Forest, and after many times, she has become familiar with all the members of the Western-style Pavilion, and regards the Western-style Pavilion as her second home.

"It's so late, why did Lina let you two run over on your own. Catherine took two pairs of small home slippers for the two girls to change into, and couldn't help but nag: "Lina is really, and she doesn't think about your safety." After all, you two can be regarded as stars in the Holy Capital, how can you just let you wander around the streets alone, in case you run into those fans and dancers with abnormal brains, you will be in trouble. When you came in just now, I noticed that there were quite a few people behind you who were secretly following you. ”

"Haha, we know those two big fools, with a bunch of little fools, claiming to be our personal guards. Mao'er said with teeth and claws: "They often follow us secretly, and we are all used to it." But Sister Lina also said that although those people are a little idiotic, they are not bad people, and they follow us just to protect us, for fear that we will encounter danger, so it doesn't matter. ”

"Actually, Sister Lina sent us all the way to the street. When she arrived at the familiar environment, Ansa also regained her vitality and no longer whispered: "She will be back soon." ”

As he spoke, the living room door was pushed open, and it was not Lina but Vivien who entered. As soon as she entered the house, Vivien asked suspiciously, "Did I miss something? Why did I see Pannis sweeping the floor outside with a desperate face? Why did he mess with you, big sister?"

"Nothing. Catherine sighed with a headache: "It's just a daily routine. ”

"I see. Vivian nodded knowingly, tossed her coat aside, and tugged at each of the sisters' hairs before she tuddled herself into the chaise longue and groaned comfortably.

"Big news. The living room door was kicked open again, and Lina hurriedly ran in with a newspaper in her hand: "Big news." ”

"Where did you guys go? Catherine reproached, "Why didn't you come back with them?" ”

"Drop by and help the church deliver something to a believer. Lina explained, "Don't worry, they're fine." Let's not talk about this, big sister, look at the newspaper, it's a big news. ”

Catherine took the newspaper and did not read it, but went to the window and opened the thick curtains. As soon as the curtain was opened, I saw Pannis leaning out of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking pitifully into the room. Catherine gritted her teeth with a headache, opened the window and said, "Don't come in yet." ”

"Huhu, I'm freezing to death. As soon as Pannis entered the house, he rubbed his hands exaggeratedly and said, "It's so dangerous, I almost died, and I'm finally alive." ”

"Pretending to be true. Catherine pursed her lips, ignoring the funny Pannis, and looked down for the big news in Lina's mouth: "Hey, the New Year's auction? According to the usual practice, the price is probably six or seven million, are those auction house people crazy? A completely useless gemstone can be sold for such a high price?"

"Sister, wake up, don't say that, don't be unable to walk when you see money. Lina was laughed at by Catherine: "The next version is on the back." ”

"City Lord Odin's beloved daughter is about to get married?" Catherine was stunned: "There has been no news of her for two years, is she finally going to get married?"

"yes. Lina nodded: "She's finally getting married." ”
