Chapter 4 third chapter
Walking on the sidewalk, neither of them spoke.Gray noticed that he was very interested in almost everyone and everything around him.He didn't ask any questions, but he often stopped to look at passing cars or girls in miniskirts in a daze, seeing the shocked and shocked expression on his face, she really wanted to believe that he had never touched this world.
Came to a men's clothing store a street away. "Here, we can buy you some less shocking clothes."
"Tailor shop?" He frowned and looked up.
"It's not a tailor shop, it only sells clothes here."
When he entered the store and saw the clothes and pants on the shelves, he couldn't help showing a dumbfounded expression, "These clothes are already ready!" he said.
Gray said to the clerk who came to greet them, "Please measure him, we need some clothes." After she finished speaking, she found a chair and sat down, pretending to be flipping through a magazine she picked up, but in fact her eyes were always there. People spin around.
After taking off the armor, all he was left with was a linen long-sleeved shirt soaked with sweat.The clothes fit tightly against his skin, outlining the curves of his majestic and solid figure.
The clerk brought him a few shirts to wear but didn't like any of them, so the clerk finally turned to Gray for help.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"This dress is not beautiful at all." He frowned. "Not much color, no jewels, no embroidery. Maybe, I should get a seamstress to embroider some on the dress!"
She couldn't help interrupting him with a smile. "Women of this era! They don't do much sewing anymore!" He picked up a nice cotton shirt. "Try this one!" Gray said in a coaxing tone, "Look at the material, how soft it is!"
Reluctantly, he let Gray put the shirt on for him.
"Go to the mirror and have a look!" Gray said softly.
She didn't expect his next reaction at all.He stared at the large mirror with three people at the same height, and then reached out to touch it.
"Is this made of glass?" he asked in a barely audible voice.
"Of course! Otherwise, what other material do you think the mirror can be made of?"
Without saying a word, he took out a month-shaped wooden product from the pocket of his knickerbockers and gave it to her.On the flat wooden board, there was a metal mirror, and she found that her face reflected on it was distorted and almost deformed.She raised her head, and saw that the man was looking at his image in the mirror. Could it be that this was the first time in his life that he saw himself clearly?Gray secretly reminded himself, of course not!He just can't remember!
Standing behind him, she would inevitably see herself in the mirror. At first glance, she almost fainted from fright. How could that person be her?
Due to the constant crying, not only the eye shadow was washed away, but the eyeliner was black and dripped all over the face, and besides the disheveled clothes, the disheveled hair was even more horrible.
Gray turned around and said vaguely, "Try on the pants!"
After a while, she found that the door of the fitting room was slightly opened, and the man poked his head out, and she walked over.
"I can't get it," he whispered, and opened the door to let Gray in. "What is this?"
She forced herself not to think about the current situation, squeezed into a small fitting room with a strange man, who didn't even know what a zipper was...
"Come on! Just do it like this!" She fetched another pair of trousers hanging at the side, demonstrated it clearly, and turned to go out after confirming that he would do it.
"Wait a minute! What's this?" He picked up a pair of underwear and pulled the elastic at the waistband.
"That's called an elastic band." Seeing his excited and fresh expression, Grey's mood improved a lot, and she left the fitting room with a smile. "If you need help, call me anytime."
After closing the door, she was still smiling. The clerk had carefully put the armor, long sword, dagger, etc. into a large shopping bag. Gray stepped forward to lift the bag, which was so heavy that she could barely lift it.
When the man came out, her eyes lit up. The snow-white shirt and gray trousers made him look extraordinarily heroic.
He went to the full-length mirror. "This thing..." He tugged at the leg of his trousers at the back of his thigh.
"Those are trousers," she said.
"It doesn't fit! I can't even see my legs!"
She couldn't help giggling and said, "Modern men don't like to show their legs or wear knee-high stockings, but you look really good!"
"I'm not sure, maybe I should add a chain around my waist."
"That's not okay," she replied. "Believe me, no one puts chains around their waists these days."
She picked out a belt for him, a pair of socks. "We'll get you shoes elsewhere."
The two came to the cash register, and the clerk showed the total price of the purchased items. At this moment, Nikai suddenly reached out to take the long sword. His action broke Gracia. Fortunately, the long sword was put in the bag. Couldn't get it out soon enough.
"He's just tackling!" Nikai snarled. "The price for such a few shabby things is so high, even if I hire twelve workers, it won't cost so much money!"
The clerk was so frightened that he pressed against the wall, and Gray rushed forward to block the gap between them.
"Give me the money." She said in a firm tone: "Prices have risen a lot, and things are of course more expensive than before. Give me the money."
Although he still looked angry, he handed the small leather pouch containing the coins to Gray as promised, and then took out banknotes from other pockets of the shopping bag.
"He accepts us to exchange paper for these clothes?" he asked in a low voice, then grinned. "This fool, I can give him any paper he wants."
"This is paper money, and its issuance is based on gold." When leaving the clothing store, Gray said to him: "You can even exchange paper money for gold."
"Would anyone be willing to trade gold for these papers?"
"Any bank will do."
"What is a 'bank'?"
"It's where you keep your money—especially when you don't need it right away, and you? Where do you keep your money?"
"In my house," he replied blankly.
"Oh! That's how it is." She smiled sweetly. "Dig a hole and bury the money in it. Modern people deposit money in a bank to earn interest."
"What is interest?"
Gray secretly groaned. "The cafe is here, are you hungry?"
"Hungry!" he said, pushing the door open for her.
"Welcome," said a woman behind the counter.
"Please, we need two cups of tea and two small round cakes."
"We also have strawberry cream!" said the woman.
Gray nodded, and a few seconds later, the food they ordered was presented on a tray, and she picked up the tray after paying. "How about finding an outdoor seat?"
In the small garden, the brick walls were covered with vines. They sat down and began to pour tea. Nikai walked back and forth in the garden, carefully studying the surrounding walls and various plants. Gray called him back to sit at the table. Next, hand him a cup of tea and a round cake.
He took a sip of the good tea in the cup with a tentative expression, and after taking two more sips, he looked at Grey with eyes full of joy, making her laugh out loud, and poured the bottom of the tea back, again Pass that round cake.
He picked up the round cake, looked left and right, and looked like he didn't know what to do, so she took the round cake and tore it in half, and then coated it with thick whipped cream, and he took a bite After the round cake, he began to chew slowly, and his expression was as sweet as that of someone who is intoxicated in love.
In less than a few minutes, he cleaned up all the milk tea and round cakes on the table, so she went back to the store to buy some of each.
"Why are you crying so sad in church?" Nicky asked while drinking tea.
"I... I don't think this matter has anything to do with you?"
"If I'm going to go back—in fact, I have to—I have to know what brought me to this age."
Gray put down the half-eaten pancake. "Don't you want to do that again? I think! You are probably a student who specializes in the history of Queen Elizabeth, maybe even a doctoral class! But you are crazy, and you are caught by your own research. Dazed, my father once said, it often happened to him, for example, when he immersed himself in the study of various documents and manuscripts in the Middle Ages, he ended up not being able to read modern characters for a while. .”
Nikai looked at her disapprovingly. "I know where I come from?" he said in a deadpan tone. "As for you, witch—"
As soon as she heard this, she got up and was about to go away, but she was stopped by him in front of the door leading to the store, and his hands were tightly grasping Gray's arm.
"Why are you crying in the church?" Nikai asked aggressively.
She shook his hand away violently. "Because I was abandoned by others." She said angrily, and what made her most uncomfortable was that the unbelievable tears came out of her eyes at this moment.
He gently took her by the arm and walked back to the table, then sat down beside her and poured her another cup of milk tea.
"Ma'am, why are your tears falling like broken pearls?" He asked softly.
Gray didn't want to tell anyone about Robb and Geli, let alone tell how much he was wronged.The strange thing is that she couldn't help telling the whole story in front of this stranger.
"He left you alone? Aren't you afraid that bad people will bully you?"
Grampy blew his nose vigorously on a napkin, then nodded. "Not only the bad guys, but also the kind of people who think they are from the sixteenth century! Hmm! I'm sorry." She added the last sentence with some embarrassment.
However, the man seemed to be too busy walking in the garden to hear her at all. "You're just kneeling at the grave—my grave—begging God to give you a..." He stared at Gray.
"Golden Armored Warrior."
He smiled. "I was not in armor when you called me here."
"I didn't 'call' you to come here. It's a normal reaction for a person to be abandoned in a church and cry. What's more, that fat girl stole my purse, and I don't even have a passport. , Even if my family remits money, it is impossible for me to buy a plane ticket and go back, because I have to apply for a new passport first."
"It's not like I can't go home," he said. "Then again, since you can get me here, you should be able to get me back."
"I'm not a witch, and I don't know what magic is. Of course, I don't know how to call people back and forth in the time tunnel. All of this is just based on your imagination."
He raised a thick eyebrow. "No wonder your heart abandons you. With your weird temper, it's no wonder he doesn't leave you!"
"I've never been queer with Robb. I love him, and I've always been the sweetest, tenderest kind to him. Honestly, I shouldn't be blaming Golly all the time; however, she Telling lies and hurting me again and again, I really can't bear it."
"You love this man, but he abandons you and even allows his daughter to steal from you?"
"Gerry was just a kid, and Robb probably didn't even know she stole my purse. I just hope they find them soon, get my purse back, and go home right away."
"It sounds like we have the same goals."
Gray put down the empty glass. "Our goals are not the same, and there is no need for me to stay by your side for several months just to wait for your memory to recover. We have agreed that once I find a place to stay for you, I can You're done." As soon as he finished speaking, Gray found anger in his eyes.
"Are all modern women like you?"
"That's not true, only some women who have been hurt again and again will not." Gray's mood and tone gradually returned to calm. "If you really lost your memory, you should go to a doctor, not go fishing in church. Besides, if you're acting, you should go to a doctor. In a word, you don't need to." Me." She picked up the tray and was about to walk back into the store.
But he stood sideways between Gray and the door. "Don't you believe that maybe it was your tears that called me from another time and space to modern times!"
"Of course not!" she replied. "You can have thousands of reasons to explain why you think you are from the sixteenth century, but no matter what your reasons are? You can never have anything to do with witches, please step aside, please? I have to Put these things away first, and then I can find a hotel for you."
After Gray asked the owner of the cafe where the nearest hotel was, they both walked up the street.Nikai lowered his head, as if he had a very heavy heart, he didn't say anything, and he didn't look around endlessly like in the afternoon.
"Do you like the newly bought clothes?" Gray didn't want the atmosphere to be too tense, so he had nothing to say.
He didn't answer, just frowned and walked on.
There was only one vacant room left in the hotel, and Gray asked him while filling out the passenger register. "You still insist that you are Deniche?"
The waitress behind the counter smiled and took a picture postcard with the theme of the stone tomb in the church from the shelf. "You do look a lot like him, but you are more angry than him." After she finished speaking, she smiled smugly. "The first room on the right, the bathroom is at the end of the hall."
Gray turned around and looked at him, feeling a sudden pang of sadness in her heart, as if she felt that she was a mother who cruelly abandoned her child. "You'll get your memory back soon," she said. "The lady will tell you to have dinner there."
"Okay!" Gray felt a little discouraged. "Call it a snack! I bet you remember everything when you get a good night's sleep."
"Miss! I haven't forgotten anything. Now, you can't go, because only you know how to send me back."
"Can you skip this trick, please? Please pay me fifty dollars, and everything will be..." At this point, Gray realized that fifty dollars can only be equivalent to thirty pounds, forget it!She had no choice but to accept what she said at the beginning. "Please pay me thirty pounds, and I will go at once."
Gray returned the money bag to the other party, leaving only thirty pounds for herself. "Good luck," she said, looking at him again—especially those blue eyes full of sadness.
When I left the hotel, not only did I not feel the joy I expected, but my heart felt as heavy as a lump of lead.She forced herself to hold her head up.It was getting late, and she had to find a place to sleep quickly—and it had to be cheap.Next, she had to think about where to go next?
Nikai is very interested in everything in the hotel room. Although all the furnishings and furniture are not as gorgeous and exquisite as in his own home, they have an indescribable simplicity.Not long after arriving in the house, Nikai started looking for a spittoon, but he couldn't find it, so he had to go downstairs to the back garden, but he couldn't find any place to use the toilet. "Could it be that after more than four hundred years, the world has changed so much?" He muttered, walking to the rose bushes for convenience. "Without that demon girl, I can cope well." He said to himself, and then walked back into the house. Afterwards, there was no one, Nika came to a house with an open door, and looked inside.The room contained some oddly shaped pieces of furniture, all upholstered in fine fabrics.Nikai walked into the room and sat down, feeling the softness and deep elasticity of the chair cushion.He couldn't help but think of his elderly mother, who would have felt so comfortable in such a chair. Looking up, Nikai saw a tall table by the wall and a round stool under the table.He walked over and found that the cover could be lifted; it turned out that this was not a table, but something like a harpsichord.Nikai lightly touched the keys with his hands, only to feel that the sound it produced was exactly the same as that of a harpsichord. Nikai sat down on the round stool and tried to play on the keys according to the score in front of him. "gorgeous!" Nikai turned around to see the shopkeeper standing behind him. "I've always liked the song 'Moon River'. Are you interested in jazz?" She took out a sheet music from a small desk drawer and put it in front of Nikai. Nikai tried many times before he could play this piece well.However, once he understood the knack, he played it quite easily. "Oh my God, you're really good at playing the piano. I'm sure you'd have no trouble getting a job in any bar." "I will consider your suggestion." Nikai said as he stood up. "However, so far, I'm not in a hurry to find a job." When he was talking, he suddenly felt a dizziness hit him, and he quickly reached out to support the back of a chair. "Are you okay?" the shopkeeper asked in a concerned tone. "Just a little tired," Nikai whispered. "Travel has always been the most tiring thing for me. Is it far today?" "After nearly hundreds of years." The hostess smiled and said, "Every time I go on a trip, I feel the same way. You'd better go upstairs and take a nap before dinner." "Yeah!" Niki's voice was so low that he couldn't hear it at all.Maybe, after waking up tomorrow morning, I realize that everything today is just a nightmare. Back in the room, he slowly took off his clothes and laid them flat on another bed for the whole period, but he kept thinking in his heart: where is that demon girl now?Has she returned to her lover's arms?Since she was able to summon him back to modern times from four hundred years ago, it means that she has strong magic power; therefore, it should not be too difficult to call back a sweetheart who fled the battle from several miles away. Nikai got into the bed naked, the softness and warmth of the sheets and the thin quilt made him fall into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes. This time, he slept soundly and soundly, which was almost an experience he had never had in his life. Not even the sudden downpour of rain outside the window could wake him up. A few hours later, he woke up with a feeling of unease and sat up. It was so dark that he almost forgot where he was.There was the sound of raindrops on the roof, and Nika fumbled for matches and candles on the table by the bed, but found nothing. "What the hell is this place?" he said angrily. "There are neither toilets nor candles." While muttering, he suddenly raised his head, and his whole body was as motionless as a stone sculpture. He heard someone calling him, but it was not in the form of words, and he could feel the urgency and urgency conveyed. There is no doubt that this must be the enchantress. Nikai knew that it would be useless to resist this call. In the dark, when he fumbled to put on his clothes and trousers, he felt the most painful sensation in his body. Vulnerable parts are caught by zippers.Nikai hurriedly put on his jacket, and walked out of the house with the touch of his hands as a guide. Along the way, thanks to the street lights, Nikai would have to go forward in the dark again.He was quite curious about the weather-resistant lights on the high pillars by the road, but he had no time to study it carefully; because the call was getting stronger and stronger.Nikai turned up his collar and tucked his neck back, trying to keep out of the gusts of rain. Nikai braved the wind and rain and marched on unfamiliar streets. Several times, he heard some strange noises. When he wanted to draw his sword, he found that it was not with him. Tomorrow, he had to sell some coins so that he could hire a bodyguard with money. Accompanying him, under the guidance of the call, Nikai reached the outskirts of the country, walked through an open space, climbed over a fence, and finally came to a hut. Pushing open the door, a burst of lightning happened to strike, illuminating everything in the room, and she was seen shrinking into a shrimp ball and nestling on the straw pile, crying very sadly! "Oh, ma'am," he said. "You found me from the warm bed, what do you want this time?" "Go away!" she sobbed. "leave me alone!" Nikai was originally full of anger, but at this moment she couldn't bear to lose her temper at all. Her teeth were chattering, and it was obvious that her whole body was frozen to death.Nicki bent down and picked her up. "It's really not who's more alone—you or me?" "Let me go!" Although Gray said so, she didn't really struggle, but cried even more sadly. "I can't find a place to stay. Everything in England is extremely expensive. I don't know where Robb is? Maybe I'll have to call Lisa for help after all, and she'll make a joke of it again." Nikai didn't speak, just hugged her tightly and climbed over the wall to continue walking forward.Grey, still crying, slid her hands down and wrapped them around Nicki's neck. "I don't belong anywhere, and the whole family is extremely good except me. Oh Nikki, what am I going to do?" "First of all, ma'am, you can't call me Nikay, but it's all right to call me Colin, and besides, may I ask your name?" "My name is Gray," she said, "Mengray." "Hmm! Great name!" Pushing open the door of the hotel, Nikai found that the hostess was sitting in a chair waiting for him, "You're back!" she said. "When I heard you go out, I knew something was wrong. Oh! Poor little thing, both of you are drowned, take her upstairs and take a hot bath." Nikai followed the women's shop upstairs and came to a room he had never seen before. There were some large and strange porcelain objects in it. One of them was a bathtub, but there was no bucket nearby. The shopkeeper turned something like a doorknob, and the clear water immediately flowed out. Seeing this, Nikai was so surprised that he almost forgot that there was someone in his arms—oh my god!They even managed to move the fountain into the house. "There will be hot water after a while. Take off her wet clothes and put her in the bathtub. I'll get clean towels." The female shopkeeper walked away after she finished speaking. Nika looked at Gray with interest. "Don't be delusional," she said warningly. "You have to go out while I take a shower." He put her down and turned to look around. "What is this place for?" "It's called the bathroom." "I know this is a bathtub, what is this? And this?" Gray really wanted to ask him, if he didn't know why? , how convenient is he?However, she refrained from asking, and stepped forward to explain to him the purpose of the washbasin and the toilet one by one. The female shopkeeper came back with a few bath towels and a cotton floral nightgown, "I noticed that you didn't bring much luggage." "I lost it on the plane." Gray said hastily. "I think so, well, good night, both of you!" "Thank you!" After the shopkeeper left, she and Nikai were the only ones left in the bathroom. "Please go out too! I'll wash it soon." After watching Niki go out, Gray closed the door, took off her clothes, and slipped into the bathtub filled with hot water, feeling extremely comfortable all over. How did Nicki find her? After the two parted, she ate a six-pound dinner in a small shop, and then started walking, hoping to find a cheap hotel in the neighboring village, but God seemed to have a hard time with her, and the weather was getting worse and worse. It was dark, and finally it rained cats and dogs. Gray was so embarrassed that she couldn't find any hotels, so she ended up living in a work dormitory in the suburbs. She once slept in a pile of straw for a while, but found herself crying After waking up, the next thing I saw was his appearance in tears. Gray climbed out of the bathtub, dried herself, put on a flowered nightgown, and knocked on the door shyly. Nikai in trousers came to open the door. , Gray told him. "It's your turn." The expression on his face was very cold, without any trace of tenderness, "Go to bed, don't run around, I don't want to come out to find you in the rain again." Gray huddled under the blanket, and waited for him to come back and asked him, how did he know where she was?And how to find her in the dark rainy night?But——she felt that she just squinted her eyes, but when she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw Niki standing in front of the window with his back to her, and Gray sat down. get up. Nikai heard Shengxiang turn around. "You're awake." He said in a completely dispassionate tone. "Get up! We have a lot of work to do!" Gray grabbed the crumpled clothes and walked into the bathroom, looked up at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help thinking, if everyone had to face the face God gave them, I'm afraid there would be more troubles in the world. teenage suicide cases. After grooming, she walked out of the bathroom, and he was already waiting for her in the corridor. "Ma'am, let's have something to eat and then we'll have a good talk." The breakfast was very rich, and Gray ate it very happily, but compared with Nikai, her appetite was really inferior. He almost ate everything on the table, but the cutlery he used was limited to spoons and spoons. His fingers, and occasionally, the knife he used to cut meat, but never the fork. After the meal, Nika thanked the hostess, and then grabbed Gray and went outside the door. "Where are we going?" she asked, not brushing her teeth or washing her hair for nearly twenty-four hours, and she felt that something was wrong with her. "Go to church first," he said. "We'll make a detailed plan when we get there!" When she came to the cathedral stone tomb, she sat without saying a word, while Nikai paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. "Miss Meng, as far as I see, you and I need each other, it seems that God put you and me together for some reason." "I thought it was a relationship I cast a spell on!" she said sarcastically. "I did think so at first, but I haven't slept since you called me in the rain, so I've had time to think." "I summoned you? I didn't think of you at all. Even if there was, there is no phone near the dormitory, so I wouldn't have to shout to summon you!" "Although the words are good, you did summon me, and you awakened me." "Oh!" Gray began to feel a little angry. "History repeats itself, doesn't it? First you think I spelled you out of the grave and now you say I woke you up in the rain, dude, I've had enough, I'm leaving now!" She was about to get up, but Nikai supported the back of the chair with one hand and pressed the floating hand with the other, "locking" her whole body in the chair. "It doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not. When I woke up yesterday morning, the date was 1564, and this morning it has become..." "Nineteen eighty-eight," Gray said. "Yes! More than four hundred years have passed, and you, the witch, are the key to bringing me here, and you are the only one who sent me back." "Please believe me, if I can do it, I will definitely try to send you back. I have already had enough troubles of my own, and I don't need to find another burden—" He leaned forward, and the tips of their noses almost touched. "You dare to say that I am your burden. If I had known, I would have let you worry and fear in the wilderness." "You just tricked me once." She said in an angry tone, and then her voice suddenly softened. "How did you meet...I called you?" He stood up straight and walked to the stone tomb. "There is an invisible knot between you and me - an unusual knot, and I hear you calling to me... that feeling wakes me from my sleep and leads me to you." "You mean, there is some kind of telepathy between us?" Seeing the blank expression on the other side's face, she explained. "That is to say, we can see through each other's minds." "Probably so!" He stared at the stone tomb. "I seem to hear you need me." "I don't need anyone," she said stubbornly. "For some reason, I came to this strange and strange age and at first sight, you must help me find the answer." "Sorry, I can't help you." "To you, my life and death are just a joke, but I don't think so!" "But, you are not dead, you are still alive!" "No! Ma'am, I'm lying there." His gaze was fixed on the stone tomb. Gray spread his hands together, looking rather helpless. "What are you going to do?" "I'll help you find your sweetheart, but you have to help me find out why I'm here." "How do you help me find Robb?" "Until I find him, I will be responsible for all your expenses." "Okay! Suppose we find Robb, what do you want me to do to help you go back?" He pondered for a while, and then said: "There must be records of ejaculations that happened in the past, right?" "Well!" Ge Zhu said with a smile: "There must be records of what happened in the past, right?" "Maybe I should start with you." He walked up to Gray and stood still. "What do you know about Queen Elizabeth? Who told her that I raised an army to overthrow her?" "I don't know what you're talking about? Dude, why are you going back? Wouldn't it be nice to stay in modern times?" "I have to go back!" whispered Nikai, clasping his hands together. "My personal honor and disgrace, the reputation and future of the entire Dai family are at stake. If I don't go back, everything will be confiscated." "Confiscated?" Gray said. "Usually, the property of nobles is confiscated by the king or the queen because of..." As she spoke, her voice became softer, and he turned to look at him. "He's charged with treason." Her voice was inaudible. "How...how did you die?" "I guess he was executed!"
Nikai is very interested in everything in the hotel room. Although all the furnishings and furniture are not as gorgeous and exquisite as in his own home, they have an indescribable simplicity.Not long after arriving in the house, Nikai started looking for a spittoon, but he couldn't find it, so he had to go downstairs to the back garden, but he couldn't find any place to use the toilet.

This time, he slept soundly and soundly, which was almost an experience he had never had in his life. Not even the sudden downpour of rain outside the window could wake him up. A few hours later, he woke up with a feeling of unease and sat up. It was so dark that he almost forgot where he was.There was the sound of raindrops on the roof, and Nika fumbled for matches and candles on the table by the bed, but found nothing. "What the hell is this place?" he said angrily. "There are neither toilets nor candles." While muttering, he suddenly raised his head, and his whole body was as motionless as a stone sculpture. He heard someone calling him, but it was not in the form of words, and he could feel the urgency and urgency conveyed. There is no doubt that this must be the enchantress. Nikai knew that it would be useless to resist this call. In the dark, when he fumbled to put on his clothes and trousers, he felt the most painful sensation in his body. Vulnerable parts are caught by zippers.Nikai hurriedly put on his jacket, and walked out of the house with the touch of his hands as a guide. Along the way, thanks to the street lights, Nikai would have to go forward in the dark again.He was quite curious about the weather-resistant lights on the high pillars by the road, but he had no time to study it carefully; because the call was getting stronger and stronger.Nikai turned up his collar and tucked his neck back, trying to keep out of the gusts of rain. Nikai braved the wind and rain and marched on unfamiliar streets. Several times, he heard some strange noises. When he wanted to draw his sword, he found that it was not with him. Tomorrow, he had to sell some coins so that he could hire a bodyguard with money. Accompanying him, under the guidance of the call, Nikai reached the outskirts of the country, walked through an open space, climbed over a fence, and finally came to a hut. Pushing open the door, a burst of lightning happened to strike, illuminating everything in the room, and she was seen shrinking into a shrimp ball and nestling on the straw pile, crying very sadly! "Oh, ma'am," he said. "You found me from the warm bed, what do you want this time?" "Go away!" she sobbed. "leave me alone!" Nikai was originally full of anger, but at this moment she couldn't bear to lose her temper at all. Her teeth were chattering, and it was obvious that her whole body was frozen to death.Nicki bent down and picked her up. "It's really not who's more alone—you or me?" "Let me go!" Although Gray said so, she didn't really struggle, but cried even more sadly. "I can't find a place to stay. Everything in England is extremely expensive. I don't know where Robb is? Maybe I'll have to call Lisa for help after all, and she'll make a joke of it again." Nikai didn't speak, just hugged her tightly and climbed over the wall to continue walking forward.Grey, still crying, slid her hands down and wrapped them around Nicki's neck. "I don't belong anywhere, and the whole family is extremely good except me. Oh Nikki, what am I going to do?" "First of all, ma'am, you can't call me Nikay, but it's all right to call me Colin, and besides, may I ask your name?" "My name is Gray," she said, "Mengray." "Hmm! Great name!" Pushing open the door of the hotel, Nikai found that the hostess was sitting in a chair waiting for him, "You're back!" she said. "When I heard you go out, I knew something was wrong. Oh! Poor little thing, both of you are drowned, take her upstairs and take a hot bath." Nikai followed the women's shop upstairs and came to a room he had never seen before. There were some large and strange porcelain objects in it. One of them was a bathtub, but there was no bucket nearby. The shopkeeper turned something like a doorknob, and the clear water immediately flowed out. Seeing this, Nikai was so surprised that he almost forgot that there was someone in his arms—oh my god!They even managed to move the fountain into the house. "There will be hot water after a while. Take off her wet clothes and put her in the bathtub. I'll get clean towels." The female shopkeeper walked away after she finished speaking. Nika looked at Gray with interest. "Don't be delusional," she said warningly. "You have to go out while I take a shower." He put her down and turned to look around. "What is this place for?" "It's called the bathroom." "I know this is a bathtub, what is this? And this?" Gray really wanted to ask him, if he didn't know why? , how convenient is he?However, she refrained from asking, and stepped forward to explain to him the purpose of the washbasin and the toilet one by one. The female shopkeeper came back with a few bath towels and a cotton floral nightgown, "I noticed that you didn't bring much luggage." "I lost it on the plane." Gray said hastily. "I think so, well, good night, both of you!" "Thank you!" After the shopkeeper left, she and Nikai were the only ones left in the bathroom. "Please go out too! I'll wash it soon." After watching Niki go out, Gray closed the door, took off her clothes, and slipped into the bathtub filled with hot water, feeling extremely comfortable all over. How did Nicki find her? After the two parted, she ate a six-pound dinner in a small shop, and then started walking, hoping to find a cheap hotel in the neighboring village, but God seemed to have a hard time with her, and the weather was getting worse and worse. It was dark, and finally it rained cats and dogs. Gray was so embarrassed that she couldn't find any hotels, so she ended up living in a work dormitory in the suburbs. She once slept in a pile of straw for a while, but found herself crying After waking up, the next thing I saw was his appearance in tears. Gray climbed out of the bathtub, dried herself, put on a flowered nightgown, and knocked on the door shyly. Nikai in trousers came to open the door. , Gray told him. "It's your turn." The expression on his face was very cold, without any trace of tenderness, "Go to bed, don't run around, I don't want to come out to find you in the rain again." Gray huddled under the blanket, and waited for him to come back and asked him, how did he know where she was?And how to find her in the dark rainy night?But——she felt that she just squinted her eyes, but when she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw Niki standing in front of the window with his back to her, and Gray sat down. get up. Nikai heard Shengxiang turn around. "You're awake." He said in a completely dispassionate tone. "Get up! We have a lot of work to do!" Gray grabbed the crumpled clothes and walked into the bathroom, looked up at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help thinking, if everyone had to face the face God gave them, I'm afraid there would be more troubles in the world. teenage suicide cases. After grooming, she walked out of the bathroom, and he was already waiting for her in the corridor. "Ma'am, let's have something to eat and then we'll have a good talk." The breakfast was very rich, and Gray ate it very happily, but compared with Nikai, her appetite was really inferior. He almost ate everything on the table, but the cutlery he used was limited to spoons and spoons. His fingers, and occasionally, the knife he used to cut meat, but never the fork. After the meal, Nika thanked the hostess, and then grabbed Gray and went outside the door. "Where are we going?" she asked, not brushing her teeth or washing her hair for nearly twenty-four hours, and she felt that something was wrong with her. "Go to church first," he said. "We'll make a detailed plan when we get there!" When she came to the cathedral stone tomb, she sat without saying a word, while Nikai paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. "Miss Meng, as far as I see, you and I need each other, it seems that God put you and me together for some reason." "I thought it was a relationship I cast a spell on!" she said sarcastically. "I did think so at first, but I haven't slept since you called me in the rain, so I've had time to think." "I summoned you? I didn't think of you at all. Even if there was, there is no phone near the dormitory, so I wouldn't have to shout to summon you!" "Although the words are good, you did summon me, and you awakened me." "Oh!" Gray began to feel a little angry. "History repeats itself, doesn't it? First you think I spelled you out of the grave and now you say I woke you up in the rain, dude, I've had enough, I'm leaving now!" She was about to get up, but Nikai supported the back of the chair with one hand and pressed the floating hand with the other, "locking" her whole body in the chair. "It doesn't matter to me whether you believe it or not. When I woke up yesterday morning, the date was 1564, and this morning it has become..." "Nineteen eighty-eight," Gray said. "Yes! More than four hundred years have passed, and you, the witch, are the key to bringing me here, and you are the only one who sent me back." "Please believe me, if I can do it, I will definitely try to send you back. I have already had enough troubles of my own, and I don't need to find another burden—" He leaned forward, and the tips of their noses almost touched. "You dare to say that I am your burden. If I had known, I would have let you worry and fear in the wilderness." "You just tricked me once." She said in an angry tone, and then her voice suddenly softened. "How did you meet...I called you?" He stood up straight and walked to the stone tomb. "There is an invisible knot between you and me - an unusual knot, and I hear you calling to me... that feeling wakes me from my sleep and leads me to you." "You mean, there is some kind of telepathy between us?" Seeing the blank expression on the other side's face, she explained. "That is to say, we can see through each other's minds." "Probably so!" He stared at the stone tomb. "I seem to hear you need me." "I don't need anyone," she said stubbornly. "For some reason, I came to this strange and strange age and at first sight, you must help me find the answer." "Sorry, I can't help you." "To you, my life and death are just a joke, but I don't think so!" "But, you are not dead, you are still alive!" "No! Ma'am, I'm lying there." His gaze was fixed on the stone tomb. Gray spread his hands together, looking rather helpless. "What are you going to do?" "I'll help you find your sweetheart, but you have to help me find out why I'm here." "How do you help me find Robb?" "Until I find him, I will be responsible for all your expenses." "Okay! Suppose we find Robb, what do you want me to do to help you go back?" He pondered for a while, and then said: "There must be records of ejaculations that happened in the past, right?" "Well!" Ge Zhu said with a smile: "There must be records of what happened in the past, right?" "Maybe I should start with you." He walked up to Gray and stood still. "What do you know about Queen Elizabeth? Who told her that I raised an army to overthrow her?" "I don't know what you're talking about? Dude, why are you going back? Wouldn't it be nice to stay in modern times?" "I have to go back!" whispered Nikai, clasping his hands together. "My personal honor and disgrace, the reputation and future of the entire Dai family are at stake. If I don't go back, everything will be confiscated." "Confiscated?" Gray said. "Usually, the property of nobles is confiscated by the king or the queen because of..." As she spoke, her voice became softer, and he turned to look at him. "He's charged with treason." Her voice was inaudible. "How...how did you die?" "I guess he was executed!"
