Chapter 16: Marlena

March 25, 1942.

Henry worked for three months in a row, starting with the training of the various Allied units, and the technicians finally got on track and took over most of Henry's work.

"Finally relaxed, now we can determine if there is such a person, a woman who haunts men"

After all, the U.S. military's M1 Bradley rifles, sniper rifles, UZI submachine guns, RPG-7 rocket launchers, and Gatling guns are all the most advanced equipment.

Leaving the rest to his deputy, Henry changed into civilian clothes and left the base to pursue his dreams.

Sicily, the town of Castillo.

Henry traveled for two days and arrived here in the afternoon. Fluent Italian and forged documents, in the name of visiting relatives and friends, did not attract much attention, and the townspeople only knew that a strange Italian had come from Naples.

I asked from passers-by about the hotel in the town, where a room was opened, and then planned to walk around the town.

"Is Mr. Mario out?" asked the innkeeper, looking at the handsome young man who had just moved in, that is, Henry, and walked out of the room again.

"Yes, my relatives worked at the town school, so I'll ask," said Henry to the innkeeper.

"The school is near the central square of the town, you will know where you are, do you need to wait for you to come back that night, because of the war, the town is closed at 7 p.m. now"

"If I don't come back at 7 o'clock in the evening, then I must have found my relatives in the town, and you can accept my room fee for the next few days."

"Thank you for your generosity and good luck, Mr. Mario Draghi"

Leave the inn and wander around the town, the whole town is not big, if you have a bicycle you can go around the town in 15 minutes.

The beautiful legend of Sicily, there is a shot of a group of teenagers waiting for Malena to pass by on the coastal embankment in the morning, and the shadow in the sun is behind them.

So it's afternoon, and you'll find that coastline in the setting sun, the western coastline of Sicily, which is close to the North African battlefield.

"For the sake of the adolescent youth in my previous life, I am a hunt across the Mediterranean Gorge," Henry sighed as he walked, but his heart was still full of anticipation.

"Marlena's husband is dead, but why haven't you seen her lately?"

"She doesn't know where she got her dollars lately, and she buys a lot of food at a time, so she rarely gets to see her"

"Dollars, no one can refuse dollars, now only the United States itself in the world has not been affected by the war"

Henry listened to the town's men talking, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

By this time, Henry had walked to the familiar coastline in his memory, there was a row of small villas, and Malena's home was among them, but I don't know which one it was, but there was the iconic tree that extended to the window, and I believe it was not difficult to determine.

After spending a few minutes, I found a yard where women's clothes were dried, and a villa with a tree.

Henry looked up, and saw that the branches had reached the window, and he walked up and knocked on the door.

"Wow"

"Who is it?"

"Does Lady Marlena live here?"

"Yes, please wait~"

Henry stood outside and waited for a few minutes, keenly aware of a gaze that was always on him, none other than the young Reinado.

Henry looked at his senses, only to see a retracted head behind the embankment, and thought about it and paid no attention to it.

"Squeak" With the sound of the door opening, a woman in a black dress opened the door, Marlena, also Monica Bellucci.

"Who are you, I haven't seen you" Marlena opened the door and saw that it was a stranger, and although the young man opposite her was tall and handsome, he still looked wary.

"If you received an envelope with $1,000 in it eight months ago, then I think you should know that I'm sleeping, can you go in and talk, I find that a lot of people in town are paying attention to you," Henry suggested.

"Come in" Marlena moved out of her way to block the door, allowing Henry to enter the house and close the door.

Henry walked to the main hall of the house, there was a sofa in the right corner, and looking up, he found a window, the exclusive peeping spot of the young Reinado.

Henry sat down on the sofa and said to the oncoming Malena, "Can you give me a glass of water, I have been looking for a long time to find here, and I am a little thirsty"

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen and pour you a drink" Marlena was a little confused, and Henry was more like the owner of the house.

took the water cup handed by the other party, drank it dry, and put the cup on her hand again "Thank you"

"But before we talk about things, let's deal with the little bugs first, otherwise I won't be able to concentrate." Henry heard a commotion in the courtyard, and Henry stood up and asked Marlena, "Didn't you notice that someone had been spying on you?"

"Voyeur?!" Marlena exclaimed in disbelief.

"Go out and see, the tree in the yard near this window," said Henry, hearing the sound of the tree climbing, so he said to Marlena.

"Wait a minute," Marlena immediately walked towards the courtyard, and Henry followed out to watch the excitement.

"Kid, what are you doing here! Get out of here! ”

"Ah~! Click! Smack~"

There was a scream, a violent movement that broke the branches, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Henry leaned on the door frame, witnessed the whole process, and it hurt to watch~

Reinado, who was on the ground, saw Marlena walking towards him, and now he didn't care about the pain or the illusion, so he got up and ran, limping out of the courtyard wall.

"Do you need me to fix these branches for you? Before it gets dark," Henry asked.

"Thanks, I'll get you an axe, I don't know if I can use it again"

"It's okay, bring it to me" Henry unbuttoned his coat and shirt, wearing only a vest, revealing his good figure with eight-pack abs.

Take Marlena's axe and hand her the garment for her to hold. I repair an axe a little and can use it.

Henry climbed up the tree, and from the top down, cut off all the branches that grew on the other side of the house, and if it weren't for the lack of strong axes, no branch could have cut twice.

Remove the branches and hang curtains on that wall.

"I need to take a shower, I'm dirty" After everything was done, it was already dark outside, and Henry had to say to Marlena.

"I'll go find you a dress"

"No, I'm not used to wearing other people's clothes, you can help me wash my clothes, where to bathe" said to Marlena, taking off her vest and trousers.

Marlena looked at Henry's perfect figure, her eyes were a little evasive, and she lowered her head and pointed to the side.

Henry walked towards the bathroom, rinsed it with cool water, and when he looked up to get the towel, he saw Marlena's underwear, which was very seductive, this is a tailor's clothes, this is a designer.

Although the costumes worn by Marlena in this movie were designed by Italian designers, the plot and clothes in the movie were all cut by herself.

Henry dried his hair and came out in a pair of shorts, and Marlena was even more restless when she saw it, some eyes didn't know where to look, and there was a stranger in the house suddenly, although something happened between the two of them in the afternoon.

"You're a tailor?" Henry pointed to the sewing machine in the main hall.

"Yes"

"The clothes you wear are all designed and cut by yourself?"

"Yes"

"Well, the clothes you designed are very nice, including the one in the bathroom, which is sexy"

"That's... That's when I was going to take a shower and change in the afternoon, you came suddenly, I'll go put it away" Marlena stood up awkwardly, ready to go and put away her clothes.

"I've seen it all, what else do you charge, since you want to take a bath, go ahead, and we'll talk about money after washing," Henry said unhurriedly.

"Okay, you wait for me," Marlena panicked as she walked to the bathroom.
