In a large villa, four men in black were kneeling on the floor of the living room. A woman was sitting on the main seat. Her beautiful face was painted with coquettish makeup, and there seemed to be a faint smile on her face. The bodies of the men in black kneeling on the ground could not help trembling. No one dared to raise their heads, for fear that they would lose their lives if they made a move. The woman sat in the main seat, picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, and said lightly, "It's really good tea!" "Hall Chief, our mission this time has not been handled properly. Please punish us!" The leader of the men in black said. "Then what do you think I should do to punish you?" The woman put the teacup on the table and asked with a smile. Several men in black knelt there, not knowing how to answer. They all lowered their heads. "Forget it, this matter is within my expectations. If Gordan is really willing to give you the information,
Adeline followed the uncle out of the village. As she looked at the various things outside, she felt that they were especially fresh and curious. "Uncle, there are guests in your house!" On the road, a woman, who was about the same age as a master, was picking up a bucket and greeting the uncle with a smile. With a chuckle, the middle-aged man showed his white teeth and said, "Yes, I'm going to the river to see if there are any fish and get two more bowls." "Yes, yes. Go ahead!" After that, the middle-aged woman left with a painful smile. "Uncle, the houses here should have been built a few years ago, right?" Seeing that the houses outside the village were all made of wood, Adeline curiously asked. There were only about 20 houses in this small village. Most of the houses were made of wood. The architectural style was similar to that of ancient houses. Many houses were carved with flowers. The most important thing was that the wooden houses here were well p
Miaomiao put the things away, took the cane in her hand, and said to Adeline, "Miss Simpson, I'll send you back first!" Looking at the uncle who had gone far away, Adeline suddenly asked Miao Miao, "Miao Miao, don't you think I'm very useless? I can't believe that such a big man was pecked by a hen!" Looking at Adeline, Miaomiao really wanted to nod. After all, a grown-up person could be so badly pecked by a chicken. If it were anyone else in the village, they would definitely laugh their heads off. However, from the first time she saw Adeline, she knew that this older sister would definitely not do housework at home. "Miss Simpson, do you want to hear the truth or..." Adeline's brows moved slightly as he looked at Miaomiao in confusion. Seeing that she did not speak, Miaomiao slowly said, "In fact, Miss Simpson, you think too much. Even if we have been dealing with people all year round, sometimes we will inevitably be pecked by them. What's more, you hav
"We're here, Miss Simpson!" After walking for roughly twenty minutes, Miaomiao brought Adeline to her aunt's home. "Aunt, are you at home?" Before she reached the door, Miao Miao had already shouted "Aunt". Soon, she saw her coming out of the kitchen. "It's Miaomiao. Come in and sit down!" As soon as Miaomiao entered the yard, her aunt greeted her with a stool. "Auntie, you don't have to be busy. I'm going back to cook. My uncle asked me to send Miss Simpson back. Her hand pecked my hen, so I let Miss Simpson come back first!" Miao Miao looked at her aunt and said with a smile. When the aunt heard Miaomiao say that the hen pecked Adeline's hand, she hurriedly put down the things in her hand, walked in front of Adeline, and grabbed his jade-like hand to take a look. "Oh, look, such a beautiful hand has been pecked by this hen. It's blue and purple!" "Auntie, I'm fine. It's just a small injury. I'll be fine soon!" Adeline felt very so
"Is there such a feudal thing as you said? Are you afraid that I will kiss you and deliberately say these words to scare me?" Christiano looked at Adeline and said with an evil smile. Looking at Christiano, Adeline swallowed and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go out and have a look when your legs recover!" As soon as he finished speaking, Adeline gently pushed Christiano's face upward, trying his best to keep a certain distance from him. After being with him for so long, Adeline couldn't even tell which one was the real Christiano. Sometimes it was warm and overbearing, and sometimes it was dark and fierce. His whole body was full of coldness, like a beast in the dark. "Since you want me to go out and have a look, isn't it fine now?" Christiano's eyes fell on the cane leaning against the wall. Following his line of sight, Adeline saw the walking stick leaning against the wall. He was momentarily stunned. She had thought that he would throw t
"Yes!" Although he deserved it very little, Christiano still heard it. Hearing Adeline agree, Christiano was very happy. Since he had agreed, did it mean that she had accepted him from the bottom of her heart? "Well, I'll help you out! I just went out for a walk. There seems to be no electricity here." Adeline said as he helped Christiano to stand up and walk out. Hearing Adeline's words, a look of disdain flashed across Christiano's face. What kind of village was this? It didn't even have electricity. She knew that Christiano would not get used to her words, but she had no choice. After all, they were living in such a deserted place! "I know you won't get used to it, but I think it's good. In this way, we can recite it on our own. There is no electricity, no water, and no network. What is the world like?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Christiano say, "It's better to die than to live!" "Pfft..." "Is it that serious?" Ade
"Alright, don't think too much about it. When the boat arrives at the end of the bridge, it will naturally be straight. There are some things that, when the time comes, will naturally be clear!" "Is that true?" Adeline looked at Christiano with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Looking at her, it could be seen from her eyes that there were other questions hidden in her words. With a faint smile, Christiano looked at her and replied, "From your tone, it seems that there's something else bothering you?" Adeline raised an eyebrow. He looked at Christiano and asked, "If I tell you, will you tell me the truth?" "Okay, as long as I know, I will tell you." Looking at Christiano, Adeline's expression became serious. "Who's Alan?" "It's me." Adeline obviously didn't expect him to admit it so quickly. "But..." Before Adeline could finish his sentence, Christiano already knew what she was going to say next. "I can't tell you this, but a
As soon as the aunt entered the kitchen, she saw the whole kitchen filled with smoke. Adeline was sitting in front of the stove, fanning the smoke with his hand. "What's going on?" Seeing that his aunt was back, Adeline said with grievance, "I don't know either. I'll put it out as soon as it burns. The more firewood I add, the bigger the smoke seems to be!" "Get up quickly. I'll come and have a look!" Adeline hurriedly stood up, walked to the side, and asked his aunt to come over. As soon as the aunt walked to the stove and squatted down, she saw that the firewood in the stove was slowly piled up. Seeing this, the aunt burst into laughter. "Silly child, this isn't how the fire burns!" As soon as he finished speaking, Adeline saw his aunt take out about two-thirds of the firewood in the stove. She picked up the remaining firewood and took out a bamboo tube from the side. She blew on it a few times, and the fire soon went out. "It's d
