Gascoigne's home is next to a wide canal.

It may not be intuitive to say so.

The windows of his house are next to a large canal more than three meters wide and six meters deep, uncovered and unfenced.

The aqueduct does not seem to be commonly used, and there is not a lot of water underneath, only a thin layer of silt.

As if to make it easier for people to enter the canal, there is also a ladder pressed directly against the window of Gascoigne's house.

Lan couldn't imagine what kind of mental state the designer of such a building was like when he was a child.

This is not an era when night lighting can be popularized, who will not break their neck if they take a wrong step at night?

Still on the edge of a residential area!

"Yanan's architecture is very strange, they have all kinds of precision equipment, but the basic design is completely derailed from the outside world. Perhaps it's because the city is built in the mountains, and it's common to see elevation differences. If you can't get used to the style here, it's hard to settle down. ”

Gascoigne explained to the newcomers.

"But. If you don't even have a fence for such a deep canal, what should you do if you walk at night? ”

"Walking at night?" Gascoigne smiled strangely and asked, "After last night, do you expect anyone in the city to go out at night?" ”

Lan En was speechless.

The two men walked along the canal for about half a minute, passing several coffins bound by chains, before arriving at the door of Gascoigne's house.

His home is no different from that of ordinary Yanan.

The thick wooden doors and windows were covered with sturdy iron bars, and several iron chains were wrapped around the iron bars, and several locks were hung on the chains.

The insecurity makes every Yanan person's house have a similar configuration.

At the door, Lane stood aside as Gascoigne knocked on the door.

In Yanan, banging on the door is a very annoying and unsettling act.

Because that sound can't help but remind people of the beast trying to break through the door at night.

A brown-haired woman came out of the door, draped a red knitted scarf over her body as a shawl.

Slender and beautiful, it contrasts with the stout Gascoigne, but it also matches well.

After seeing Gascoigne standing in the doorway, she naturally stepped forward and hugged the priest as if she had not smelled the smell of his foul blood.

I felt that I was holding a living human body, not a corpse, and then I felt like I had let go of the stone in my heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

This seemed to be a habit of the two, and it was only after the two of them separated that the woman saw Lan En in the back.

"Hello, Ms. Viola."

Lan En greeted politely.

"Who is this?"

The brown-haired woman asked hesitantly. Gascoigne made an introduction sideways.

"An unfortunate stranger who arrived in Yanan only last night, and now the church should not be able to spare his hands to arrange for him, so I plan to let him rest at home for a while."

The hostess was indeed as Gascoigne said.

After hearing about Lanne's current situation, he warmly invited him to stay for a few more days.

"Gascoigne is only teamed up with Uncle Henrik, and I've always felt that the two of them are not safe, and it would be better if there was another hunter."

Viola said excitedly as she led Lan into the room.

"Although I'm not a hunter and don't know much, but it's easy to do things with a lot of people, isn't it?"

Gascoigne listened to his wife's words and smiled helplessly. Take off your wide-brimmed hat and hang it on the coat hook at the door.

"I've told you many times, Viola. The hunter's job doesn't make sense. ”

But the hostess seems to have learned the resident skills of an old husband and wife a long time ago.

She can automatically filter out what comes out of her husband's mouth and what she doesn't want to hear.

Gascoigne could only smile sheepishly at Ran.

It's a cosy little house, and it can be seen that Viola has put a lot of thought into dressing up this home.

Scattered knick-knacks, spotless sofas, napkins, shiny glass and cutlery

"Is Daddy back?"

As he shouted, the sound of two small leather shoes running on the wooden floor came from the back room.

The two little girls ran from the back room to the living room in a panic, and then when they saw the stranger standing in the living room, they quickly stopped and became squirming.

Apparently twins, the two little girls wore the same small leather shoes, white socks, and plain dresses that resembled the uniforms of early women's colleges.

The two look alike, sweet and well-behaved. They all inherited Viola's brown hair, except that one had a pure white headband tied on the head, and the other had a bright red headband.

When they crossed Lane and saw Gascoigne, the restraint of strangers in the house disappeared again.

The girl with the red headband seemed a little bolder, and instead of approaching the hunter stained with the blood of the beast, she just stood there and shouted "Daddy".

Gascoigne didn't approach them either, just smiled softly and waved his hand, then introduced him to Lane.

"My children, twins. The white headband is the older sister, Oliveira. The red headband is the younger sister, Victoria. ”

"They're all cute."

Lan En was half sincere, half polite compliment.

When you go to someone's house, you must praise the child first.

Ignore the retina and the fireworks effect of 'human sophistication +1' given by Mentos.

Lan En smiled at the two girls.

But my sister seems to be less daring and shy. With both sisters' faces flushed, she took the lead in pulling her sister back behind the wall.

Behind Lanne, Gascoigne had already taken off his blood-stained mask and threw it into a bamboo basket.

"Let's take a shower and clean up the blood."

Lan En nodded, before he knew what the situation of the bestiality was, it might be a safer option to listen to the advice of the locals.

The two of them rinsed their bodies in the bathroom, and Viola prepared a set of Gascoigne's old clothes for Lanne.

Fortunately, the priest is not small, otherwise Lan En might not be able to catch it.

Gascoigne's hunting outfit is easy to clean, in fact, the reason why most Yanan hunters choose leather coats is because it is easy to wash down thick blood.

But for Lane's armor, Viola doesn't have the skills of an armor cleaner, she's just a full-time wife.

Therefore, it can only be placed there until the healing church has time to settle Lane.

Lan En didn't object, just smiled and nodded

In fact, he was somewhat inclined to leave Yanan after a short break.

The city gave him too many feelings that something was wrong.

Whether it's the miraculous [Blood Healing] or the weird bestiality. It's all wrong.

But since Gascoigne had been promised to take care of his family when he went out to buy incense today, it shouldn't be a matter of delaying this moment.

After rinsing the blood stains of the bestiality, Viola was already on the table full of food.

It seems that because of the hunter's routine, she, as the hunter's wife, has also adjusted her cooking habits.

What was supposed to be the sumniest dinner was now moved to the morning.

By the time Lann came out of the bathroom, Gascoigne's family was seated at the table.

There was an empty seat for him at the table.
