Chapter 10 Chapter nine
When they came to the church, Nikai knelt down to pray, and Grey knelt beside him, hugging him tightly with both hands. After an entire hour, Grey's hands hurt unbearably, but she never let go. Opening hands, Nikai is praying for God's forgiveness, while she is begging God, don't take Nikai away, so that they have a chance to stay together for a lifetime.
After a long time, Nikai opened his eyes and turned to face her, "I'm still here." He stood up with a smile, and Grey, still holding him, also stood up.
"Holded by you like this, my arms are numb." Nikai complained softly.
"I won't let you go until we're out of here." He laughed. "Isn't it all right?"
"Nikai, don't laugh at me, let's go out first! I don't want to see this ancient tomb of yours again."
Nikai was still smiling all over his face, and he was about to walk away, but his body remained motionless.He couldn't help being a little confused, so he looked down at his feet, only to see that the part from the knee down was gone.
He quickly hugged Gray into his arms, "I love you." He said softly, "I love you with all my heart, no matter how far apart time and space are, I will always love you."
"Nikai..." Her teeth chattered. "Let's get out of here."
He cups her cheeks. "Grey, I only love you in this life."
Gray suddenly felt that his body was no longer tangible. "Nikai!" she screamed in terror.
He kissed her gently and softly, which contained all the love and affection.
"I'll go with you," she said. "Take me away, oh! God, please let me go with him!" cried Gray.
"Grey." Nika's voice grew farther and farther away. "Grey, you are my only love." He was no longer in Grey's arms. At this moment, he was standing in front of the stone tomb in silver and white armor, his figure was very blurred. "Come here," he held out his hand. "Come to me quickly."
Gray ran towards him, but couldn't touch him.
Suddenly, a beam of sunlight came in from the window and shone on his shiny armor, reflecting a glare of light.
Then, the church returned to tranquility, and Nikai had disappeared.
Gray stood there staring at the stone tomb, she suddenly covered her ears with her hands and screamed loudly.After a while, she fell down unconscious.
"Drink this," someone said. She grabbed the hand holding the cup, "Nikai." She called out softly, with an indistinct smile on the corner of her mouth. Gray opened her eyes, sat up immediately, and found herself lying on a table in the classroom. On the bench, only a few feet away from the stone tomb, she put her feet on the ground and felt dizzy in her head. "Are you feeling better?" Gray turned to the pastor, who had a look of concern on his face. "Where's Nikki?" she murmured. "I didn't see anyone else here. Do you need me to call someone for you? I heard you... screaming just now. When you rushed over, you passed out." Gray stood up tremblingly and walked to the stone tomb, gradually remembering some things, but he couldn't really believe it.She looked at the old pastor, "You didn't see him leave, did you?" She asked hoarsely, her throat feeling tight. "I only saw you praying, I didn't see anyone leaving." "Should say you saw 'us' praying." "I only see you alone." "Nikai was here praying with me just now, and you came in. You've seen him come here to pray every day for the past week." The priest gave her a sad look. "I'll take you to the doctor!" "I was talking about Nikai!" she insisted. "Remember? He's the one who almost hit the bus." "A few days ago, I saw you almost hit a car, and you asked me the date of that day!" "I..." Gray asked back, "Nikai was the one who asked you the date!" She took a big step forward, "Remember? You waved to us when we passed by on bicycles!" The pastor stepped back a little, "I only saw you riding a bicycle alone, no one else was with you." "No..." Gray's eyes were wide open, with a look of extreme fear.She ran out of the church and ran to the hotel where she was staying without looking back. When she opened the door, all of Nikai's things disappeared without a trace, even the emerald ring that Nikay gave her was gone. "No!" Gray shouted, then grabbed the purse and rushed out of the room. After a whole day of running around and asking, Gray returned to the hotel exhausted. She drank water all day, but she didn't feel hungry. She just felt that her whole body was completely defeated. She had been to ancient coin trading shops and men's clothing stores , a library, a dental office, a tavern, a coffee shop, a bicycle shop, but none of them remembered seeing Nikay, they all claimed to have seen her, even Mrs Donby, the lady shopkeeper. All this is her fault!Nikai's way is that after Shi Luobo framed him, he stayed in the modern age well, and he disappeared between her fingers until the two had a physical relationship. Gray sat in front of the bed in a daze, and didn't hear the phone ring at all. Suddenly, she woke up like a dream, and the ring had already rang five times. She picked up the phone, "Hello?" "Grey." Robb's stern and angry voice came from the other end, "have you gone crazy enough?" Gray was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to fight back, "What are you going to do?" "I want that diamond necklace. You won't get tired of your lover and forget it, will you?" "What?" She suddenly felt full of strength. "You saw him! Did you see Nikai? You should have seen him. He pushed you out into the street. You couldn't forget it!" "Do you have a problem with your nerves? No one has ever pushed me into the street, and no one dared to do that." He sighed, "I want to get back that bracelet." "Of course." She said hastily. "However, didn't you mention the 'lover' just now?" "I don't have to repeat everything I've said—" "Robb," Gray said in a steady voice, "if you don't make it clear, I'll throw the chain down the toilet and flush it down. I don't believe you have insured it yet." Robb on the other end of the phone hesitated. "It's a wise move to get rid of you. You are not in the right mind. No wonder your family insists on giving you financial autonomy after you turn thirty-five." "I'm going to the bathroom." "Okay! Fuck you! That night, you kept talking nonsense, I couldn't understand what you were talking about? Said you had a job to help someone rewrite history, as far as I remember, There are only so many." "Rewrite history?" Gray said to himself, yes!Nikai is here for one reason: to change history. "Grey! Grey!" Robb yelled, but she had put down the receiver. She took out a large duffel bag, threw the laundry in, and sat on the edge of the bed until dawn.Tomorrow she would go to the manor houses that had belonged to Nikai; to hear how she and Nikai had changed history.
Gray took the first train from Ash Bolton to Bellwood Castle.When she was very disappointed, she and Nikai did not change much history. Although Nikai learned the name of the person who framed him from modern times, he still suffered the fate of being guillotined after returning. The tour guide of Fort Wood said that Count Denikel was good at eating, drinking and having fun during his lifetime, especially good at flirting with women. He finally died on September 9, 1564. Gray didn't believe in evil, and took the train to Shawick Castle. When their library materials were exactly the same as what the tour guide said, Gray finally walked out of the library like a defeated rooster, and sat on a bench by the street. Down. "Grey, is that you?" Raising her head, she saw Luo Hanming standing in front of her. "It really is you. There is no one around here with fiery red hair like you, why are you here? I thought you had left this place!" Gray stood up, then swayed unsteadily. "Are you okay? You look ugly!" "Just a little tired, it's okay." He took a closer look and saw the dark shadows under her eye circles and the dryness on her skin, "I guess you're probably hungry too." He took Grey's hand and carried her luggage bag, "There's an organic tavern around the corner , let's go get something to eat." She obediently let him lead her forward, and when she got to this point, what else did she care about? After entering the tavern, Gray took a sip of beer, and only then remembered that he hadn't even had a sip of anything since he had breakfast with Nikai yesterday. "Which places did you go to after leaving Shavik Castle last week?" Luo Hanming asked. "Nikai and I went to Ash Bolton together." While she was speaking, she focused her eyes on Luo Hanming. "Is he your friend?" "Yes." She replied softly, "How about you? How are you doing?" He smiled slightly, "The day after you left, Mr. Han came to repair the wall of Mrs. Daimazhi's room. Guess what we found?" "A group of mice." Gray said with little interest. Luo Hanming leaned his upper body forward, showing a mysterious expression, "We found an iron box, and the documents inside recorded all the truth about Count Nikai's execution on the guillotine that Mrs. March knew. The small iron box will be the capital of my fame, because it is related to a secret from four hundred years ago." "Let's listen to it." Gray still said softly, but his sanity had begun to recover. Luo Hanming leaned back on the chair back. "Oh! That can't be done. Last time you tricked me into giving Luobo's name. This time I won't be fooled again." Gray leaned forward, and said in a calm and soft tone: "You may not know my family well, but the Meng family is a well-known and wealthy family in the world. When I reach the age of thirty-five, I can inherit hundreds of thousands of people. Wan’s family property, if you are willing to tell Mrs. Wumage about the content of the document, I will sign the assignment right now—giving you one million dollars.” "I'm just hoping to get a place in a history department at an Ivy League school," he said quietly. "It's a deal." She replied bluntly, even if she was asked to donate a college or library in exchange for Luo Hanming's teaching position, she still thought it was worth it. "In this case, you have to listen carefully. This is an unprecedented discovery. The Dai family has some kind of blood relationship with Henry VI, so they have an unobvious but real right to inherit the throne. Many people have already Forget it, but there is a lady named Ke Qingcai who remembers it very well." "Nikai's wife?" "That's right! It seems that the Ke family also has the right to inherit the throne due to some kind of origin, but the relationship is more distant than the Dai family. Mrs. Marge firmly believes that Qingcai is a very scheming woman. She is planning to marry the Dai family. The purpose is to have a son and put him on the emperor's throne." "If that's the case, why did she marry Nikai instead of his elder brother?" He smiled. "It seems that you don't know much about the Middle Ages! The eldest son of the Dai family is named...uh..." "Cover!" "Yes! Kefer has already been engaged to a daughter of a wealthy French man who is only twelve years old. As far as I know, although the sun is beautiful, Kefer would rather choose wealth." "But Chick died young, and Nikai inherited the title." Gray said softly. "Mrs. Marges vaguely pointed out that the death of Kefer may not have been accidental, he was drowned, but Mrs. Marges said that his swimming skills were quite superb. However, as to whether his death was not accidental, Mrs. Marges did not comment definite evidence." "Anyway, Qingcai married Nikai." "Yes, it's a pity that the development of the matter is different from Qingcai's original idea. Nikai doesn't seem to be keen on official career, he is only interested in women. Not long after they got married, Qingcai found that it was impossible to use Nikai She fulfilled her wish, so she started to find a way to get rid of him." "It's like getting rid of Kever." "This matter has been investigated without any evidence, but Nikai did encounter many extremely dangerous life worries. Once, the stirrup broke, and he—" "He fell off his horse," Gray said almost to himself, "and he broke his calf." "I'm not sure about this point. There is no record in Mrs. Marge's documents. Since Nikai is not as easy to solve as Ke Fu, Qingcai began to consider asking others to help." "It turned out she chose Shrubby." Luo Hanming couldn't help showing an admiring smile. "You can write your own detective novels! Not bad! Qingcai chose Xi Luobo, the latter is Han Aibei's husband, because of the affair between Ai Bei and Nikai at the table is well known, Xi Luobo There was a lot of hatred for Nicki, and it was even worse when, nine months later, Abe gave birth to a baby boy with black hair." "But the mother and child died of dystocia." "That's right. Mrs. Marge thinks it's the work of Xi." Gray took a sharp breath. "Qingcai later teamed up with Xi Luobo to frame Nikai, and he was guillotined for treason." "According to Mrs. Marge's judgment, Qingcai has been waiting for an opportunity, so when Nikai organized an army to protect his property in Wales, she told the matter to Xi, who rode overnight to the queen In a way, there is a reason for Queen Elizabeth to believe in Sherborough. Just a few months ago, Mary, Queen of Scots, had just declared herself Queen of England and Scotland. It is precisely at this time that the army is being formed, no wonder the queen will not hesitate to condemn him." "Qingcai and Xi Luobo's trick to kill with a knife is really vicious." Luo Hanming smiled slightly. "In fact, what happened after Nico was beheaded is quite ironic. Qing Cai has always been careful and careful, but she never expected Sherbo's greed and viciousness. Mrs. March guessed that Ni Ke After Kai's death, Qingcai wanted to use this person to start her original plan again. However, Xi Luobo had another plan, threatening Qingcai to marry him by telling the truth to the queen and the whole family, because he I want my son to be on the throne of the emperor." "This is blackmail!" "It's indeed blackmail. If this story is written as a novel, it will definitely be listed on the best-seller list. Closer to home, Qingcai had to marry someone surnamed Xi." Luo Hanming suddenly snorted at this moment. laughter. "The most ridiculous point of this whole story is that Qingcai is barren at all, she has never had a miscarriage, she has never conceived, but she doesn't realize it, poor Nikai, for a son she can't get To be guillotined by her is unbelievable, isn't it?" "Yes!" Gray forced out the words. "What happened to Mrs. Marge?" "Neither Qingcai nor Xi Luobo knew that the old lady was clear about their conspiracy. Fortunately, she would have killed the old man. Marge is a smart person. She knew that she could not provide any real evidence, so So she kept silent, the Queen confiscated the land of the Dai family, and the Xi proposed her to marry Han Richard, his former father-in-law. There was a reason for Shirobe to do this. Three children born to Abe are still alive, Once Marge and Richard became husband and wife, according to the standards at the time, Shirobe and the Dai family had some kind of distant relationship, so Queen Elizabeth gave Shirobe two manors that originally belonged to the Dai family. Bai." Luo Hanming took a sip of beer to moisten his throat, "After Mrs. Marge married Han Richard, she recorded all the things in her heart and kept them in an iron box, and asked her loyal old servant to carve a hole in the wall for her. A hole to accommodate this box." He paused for a moment, "It was a wise move for her to do this, according to a letter from a friend of Mrs. Marge, the old lady was found dead at the bottom of the stairs two weeks later, with her neck It has already been broken. I guess that after the Xis got the two manors, they thought she was useless, so they killed her." Gray was silent for a long time before asking: "What happened to Xi Luobo and Qingcai?" "Probably suffering in hell! Frankly, I don't know. According to the history books, they had no children, so the parents passed it down to a nephew, who was a born black sheep and squandered everything within a few years." , and embarked on the road to bankruptcy, if you want to know the fate of Qingcai and Xi Luobo, I'm afraid you have to spend a lot of time looking for information. Historians don't seem to be very interested in these two people, at least so far. Exactly." He grinned. "Maybe things will be different when I publish the book." "I have to go," Gray said suddenly. "Where do you live? I can walk back with you." "I didn't book a hotel." She looked up suddenly. "I want to live at Shawick Castle." "Who doesn't want to? It's just that you have to book a year in advance to get a room. Wait a minute, don't be sad, I'll call and ask." A few minutes later, he walked back with a smile. "You are so lucky. Someone just canceled the reservation temporarily, and you can live in it now. Let's go! I will give you a ride." "No need." Gray said, "I need to be alone, thank you for inviting me to this dinner, and thank you for telling me so many things." After shaking hands with Luo Hanming, she got up and walked out of the tavern.
After a sleepless night at Sharwick Castle, Gray awoke the next day, still very depressed, and took the train back to Ashbolton, passing the Nekai stone tomb on the way back to the hotel. The church, Gray's feet involuntarily walked towards the door of the church.There was no one in the church, and the sunlight came in through the stained glass and shone softly on Nikai's stone tomb. "Nikai," she said, standing in front of the stone tomb, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm onion smoked again." Gray said tearfully, "Dear Nicki, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I seem to be born useless, but, before I met you, no one had ever My incompetence cost me my life." Gray choked up and could hardly speak. "Oh God!" she whispered, "Nikai, how can I live with your blood on my hands?" Gray opened the handbag and took out the tissue. When she was blowing her nose, she suddenly saw a piece of paper falling from the tissue bag to the ground.She leaned over to pick it up, and at a glance she saw that it was the note that Nikai had written. "Oh! Nicki." She burst into tears again, and her legs could no longer support her weight. Gray slowly slid to the floor and pressed the note to her cheek. "I'm sorry, Nikki," she said choked up, "I'm really sorry I couldn't be of any help to you." She leaned her forehead against the marble tomb and curled her whole body into a ball. "God," she whispered, "help me forgive myself." Grey, who was in deep pain, didn't notice that the sun was falling on her hair, and the window through which the sun shines happened to be a kneeling and praying angel painted on the glass.The golden sunlight shone through the halo on the angel's head, just projecting on Grey's hair, and as the white clouds moved in the sky, the sunlight also shone on Nika's marble hand. "Please." Gray still murmured, "Please." Just then, Gray heard a burst of laughter—Nikai's! "Nikai?" She looked up, but there was no one there.Gray stood up stiffly, "Nikai?" She looked up, but there was no one there.Gray stood up stiffly. "Nikai?" she called out, raising her voice.The laughter came again, and Gray turned around sharply.She reached out her hand, but she didn't touch anything. "It's you!" she exclaimed. "I know it's you." Gray raised her face to the sunlight and the angel on the window, she closed her eyes, "It must be you." In an instant, Gray suddenly felt as if someone punched her heavily in the lower abdomen, and she fell to the floor with her arms around her waist. When she was struggling to stand up, she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. She thought to herself, can't Dirty the nave of the church, hurry to the bathroom.However, she was about to walk, but her body didn't listen to the command. "Nikai." She whispered and stretched out her hand towards his stone tomb. Then, her eyes went dark, and she was lost in an instant.
When she awoke, Gray was still a little dizzy and didn't know where she was.Opening her eyes, she saw the blue sky and big trees with lush leaves. "What's the matter?" she murmured to herself. Did she walk out of the church without knowing it? Gray sat up and saw a figure of a man on the horizon in the distance. She couldn't see clearly because of the distance, but the man seemed to be wearing a brown burqa and was plowing the field with a hoe. She blinked She blinked, but the scene in front of her eyes did not change. She thought to herself, the English countryside really has a rural atmosphere! At this time, a woman's delicate laughter came from behind her. "Sir Nickay," the woman called in a dreamy, sweet voice. Gray jumped up without thinking, and ran straight for the pile of bushes that made the noise. Rolling around on the ground—it was Nikai, her Nikai, half of his shirt was off, and his strong arms were holding a plump girl in a suit. A dress with a rather peculiar style, and half of her breasts were almost completely exposed. "Nikai," Gray said loudly, "how could you? How could you treat me like this?" Tears welled up in her eyes again, "I'm so worried about you, but you are here And... this... oh! Nikki, how can you?" She took out a tissue and blew her nose vigorously. The two people on the ground had stopped rolling, and the girl hastily pulled up her front skirt, then got out from under Nikai, and rushed out of the bushes. Nikai, scowling, rolled over, propped himself up on one elbow, and looked up at the redhead. "What do you mean?" he asked bluntly. Gray's anger just now disappeared in an instant, and there was only one thing in his mind, Nika is here! She threw herself at Nikai, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his face passionately.Nikai hugged her, and they fell back to the ground together. "Nikai, it was you, oh! My dear, after you left, I was so sad, no one remembered you, and no one remembered that we were together." She kissed his forehead, "You kept Beard, but it doesn't matter, I like your appearance quite a bit." He also kissed Grey back, and unbuttoned her chest with his hands, and then kissed her breasts with his lips. "Nikai, I have a lot to tell you. After you left, I met Luo Hanming. He told me about Qingcai and Xi Luobo...and... oh! It feels so good... so comfortable." Gray His sanity gradually became a little blurred. "No!" She suddenly pushed Nikai away forcefully. "We can't do this. Have you forgotten what happened last time? We have to talk about it. I have a lot to tell you, but do you know that you were executed in the end?" As soon as Nikai heard this, he stopped trying to pull her back into his arms. "Me? Executed? Miss, could you please tell me why?" "Because you were accused of treason, because you organized an army without authorization, because—Nikai, you shouldn't lose your memory too? Listen to me, I don't know how long you can stay here, but, I have to tell you , everything is due to your wife's conspiracy, I know you love her very much; however, she married you purely because she saw that you were related to the queen, in short, Qingcai wanted to get rid of you, because you don't If you are willing to listen to her, you cannot let her child become emperor. Of course, she will not have children, but she doesn't know it." Having said that, she suddenly stopped. "Why are you looking at me like that? Wait, where are you going?" "I'm going home. I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense here." He stood up and began to tuck his shirt into his bloomers. Gray also stood up. "Nonsense? That's new. Wait, Nicky, you can't go." He turned to face her, "If you want to complete the good thing just now" - he nodded to the ground. "I'd be happy to stay and pay you a good bounty afterwards, but I'm not interested in your nonsense." Gray stared at him blankly, completely unable to understand what he was saying, "Pay me the bounty?" she repeated softly. "Nikai, what's wrong with you? You're acting like you've never seen me before." "Yes! Miss! I have never seen you." He turned and walked outside. Gray froze and couldn't speak. She pushed through the bushes to catch up, and then noticed that Nikai was wearing a black velvet coat, which seemed to be dotted with... "Is that a diamond?" she asked in astonishment. Nicki squinted at her. "I've never tolerated thieves," he said in a slightly warning tone. "I'm not trying to rob you, I just haven't seen anyone sew diamonds on their clothes." She took a few steps back, and then looked at him carefully. It's true that this person is Nikai, but his expression lacks seriousness and Serious, and seems to be quite young. "Nikai?" she asked. "What year is it now?" He put on a short shawl, pulled out a steed from behind the bushes, and quickly turned on the horse, "1560, now, you witch, go away, don't block my way." "Nikai, wait!" she yelled.But Nikay had already galloped away on horseback. Gray sat down dejectedly, resting her head on her hands. When she first met Nikay, he was from 1564, but today is 1560. , no wonder he didn’t know her. At this time, a thought suddenly popped into her mind. In 1560, many things had not happened yet. If she wanted to stop it, it was still too late. Her mood was instantly relieved. She grabbed her handbag and stood up, walking toward the nun. Kai just walked in the direction where she left. Along the way, she met a few countrymen dressed in shabby clothes, and noticed that the surrounding environment was unbearably dirty, and even the road was piled with a lot of livestock manure. Gray passed a shabby She wanted to enter the house to ask for directions, but was regarded as a witch by the people in the house. She took out a match from the luggage bag and lit it, and then scared them back into the house, but she herself was already trembling with fear. She couldn't help thinking of Nikai's first arrival in the 20th century, and she couldn't help feeling admiration for him from the bottom of her heart. It started to rain suddenly, and Grey held up her umbrella. At this time, she had already run away from the house and entered a small clearing in the forest. Grey sat down against a tree trunk and buried her face between her knees. "Oh Nikki, where are you?" she asked softly. Gray remembered the day she first met Nikai. Didn't she also cry and hide in a dormitory?He had found Gray and said that he had to come because he heard her calling, and since this trick worked then, it should work now. Thinking of this, Gray lowered her head, and single-mindedly asked Nika to come to her. "Nikai, come quickly!" she murmured, "come to me quickly." As twilight fell and the rain intensified, Nikail emerged at last, riding the tall black horse. Gray looked up at him with a smile, "I knew you would definitely come." Instead of smiling, he glared at her. "Mrs. Marge wants to see you," he said. "Your mother? She wants to see me?" Gray wasn't sure about her eyesight due to the heavy rain, but she seemed to think that Nika was surprised by her words. "Okay! I'll go see her." Gray stood up, and after handing him the umbrella, she held out her hand so that he could pull her onto the horse. Shockingly, Nikai took the umbrella, looked at it with interest for a while, and then rode away with the umbrella, leaving Gray in the heavy rain. Gray wanted to curse, but only Resisting it, she walked back to the shade of the tree, dodging the relentless rain a little, and not long after, Nikai returned on horseback, the umbrella still propped on her head. "You have to come with me," he said. "Do you want me to walk?" she growled. "You took my umbrella and rode pompously on the horse, and you wanted me to walk behind you in the mud, that's what you intended, wasn't it?" He seemed a little puzzled, "What you said is really strange." "It's no stranger than those pedantic ideas in your head, Nikai, I'm cold, hungry, and drenched, please help me get on the horse, and we'll go to see Ling Tang together." He grinned, stretched out his hand and pulled her onto the horse according to his words.He didn't put her in the saddle, though—her hips fell on the undulating shell of the horse, and he lifted Gray's hands around his waist, pressing them against the bump of the saddle.Then he handed her the umbrella. "Hold it up for me." After he finished speaking, he kicked the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward. Arriving in front of a three-story building, Nika got off his horse, handed over his coat and hat to the servant, and then turned and went upstairs without saying a word. Gray had to hurry up to follow him, and Nika pushed open a door , walked into the door with big strides. "I brought the woman," Gray heard Nikai say. "Wait a minute." Gray hurriedly followed through the door, and was immediately overwhelmed by the luxurious furnishings in the room, "My God!" She whispered in extreme surprise. "Bring her here," said a limping, commanding voice. Only then did Gray see a woman lying on the big bed in the room. Her eyes were very similar to Nikai's. "Come here." The woman on the bed said in a commanding tone, and Gray moved closer. After approaching, Gray suddenly found that the lady's left hand was resting on a pillow.A man in a black robe bends down. "Are these leeches?" Gray asked in shock, her eyes fixed on the few black worms attached to the lady's arms, and she noticed the look exchanged between Mrs. Marge and her son at this moment . "I've been told you're a witch and you rub your fingers together to make fire." Gray was still staring at the leeches. "Don't you feel pain?" "Of course," the woman replied, "I'd like to see the magic you do with your fingers." Gray walked to the bed and put the luggage bag on the table, "You really shouldn't allow that person to treat you. Listening to your voice, you seem to have a cold. Do you have a headache? Sneezing? Feeling tired easily?" The lady stared at her with wide eyes, and nodded in astonishment. "I guessed right." Gray reached out and fumbled in the bag, "As long as you order that person to take away these disgusting things, I can cure your illness. Oh! I found it, the medicine for colds. "She raised the small bag in her hand. "Mother." Nika took a step forward. "You can not--" "Stand back, Nikki," said Mrs. March, "and you," she added to the doctor. The man pulled the leeches off Mrs. Marge's arm and threw them into a leather box. "You need a glass of water," Gray said. "Bring the wine!" Madam Marge ordered, and Nikai immediately presented a silver goblet. Gray noticed the unusually quiet and tense atmosphere in the room, and couldn't help but think of how brave Mrs. Marge was, who could accept medicine from strangers without hesitation.Gray handed her the pill, "Swallow it, it should take effect in about twenty minutes." "Mother." Nicky opened his mouth to speak again, but Mrs. Marge waved her hand to stop him, and swallowed the pill with the wine. "If she behaves in any way, I will settle the score with you." Nikai whispered in her ear. Gray is inevitably a little nervous. What should people do if their physiques are not yet adapted to cold pills?What if Mrs. Marge is allergic to the drug? Gray felt chills all over her body, but no one in the room noticed her. Everyone was looking at the old lady with all their attention. She moved her body uneasily, only then did she notice that there was a man standing beside the curtain of the big bed. people.She could tell that this person was a woman wearing a loose tutu skirt. Gray couldn't help coughing, and Nikai immediately glared at her fiercely. This was almost the longest twenty minutes in Gray's life. Finally, Mrs. Marge sat up from the bed, her eyes wide open, "I'm fine!" she said in a tone full of surprise. "You're not fully healed," Gray said. "You'll have to lie in bed for a few days and drink more orange juice...or something else." At this moment, the woman beside the bed stepped forward to tighten the quilt for the old lady. "I'm healed," said Mrs. Marge. "You! Get out!" she yelled at the doctor who used the leech, and the latter stepped back hastily. "Nikai, take her down, give her food and clothes, and bring her to see me early tomorrow morning." "Me?" Niki asked in amazement. "I?" "You found her, so you should be responsible. Well, you go down!" Nikai glanced at Gray, then twitched the corners of his mouth, "Come with me." There was sullenness and disdain in his tone. Coming to the aisle, Gray said eagerly, "Nikai, we have to talk." He turned to face her, still with that disdainful expression on his face. “不！小姐，我们没什幺可谈。”他挑高一道眉，“此外，我是尼凯爵士，正式官衔是'武士'。”说完后他便纽头离去。 “尼凯爵士？”她问道。“不是尼凯伯爵？” “我只是一名武士，我哥哥才是伯爵。” 格蕾停下脚步。“哥哥？你是指奇克？他还活着？” 尼凯再度转过身来，一脸都是怒容。“我不知道你是谁、也不知道你如何晓得我家人的名字；不过，女巫，我警告你，你若伤害任何一个人，我便会要了你的命。而且，你别妄想在我哥哥身上施展你的巫术。” 格蕾没再说话，只是静静地跟在他身后。来到顶楼，尼凯推开一扇门，“你就睡在这里！” 她跨进门内，这是一间没有窗户的小斗室，屋子里只有一张床垫、以及一条毛毯。“我不能住这种地方。”格蕾有些发急。然而，她转过身时，却发现尼凯已不见踪影，并听见门上传来上锁的声音。 她大叫着用双手猛拍那扇厚重的门，“你这个畜牲！”她贴着门滑到地上，“你这个该死的畜牲！”
"Drink this," someone said. She grabbed the hand holding the cup, "Nikai." She called out softly, with an indistinct smile on the corner of her mouth. Gray opened her eyes, sat up immediately, and found herself lying on a table in the classroom. On the bench, only a few feet away from the stone tomb, she put her feet on the ground and felt dizzy in her head. "Are you feeling better?" Gray turned to the pastor, who had a look of concern on his face. "Where's Nikki?" she murmured. "I didn't see anyone else here. Do you need me to call someone for you? I heard you... screaming just now. When you rushed over, you passed out." Gray stood up tremblingly and walked to the stone tomb, gradually remembering some things, but he couldn't really believe it.She looked at the old pastor, "You didn't see him leave, did you?" She asked hoarsely, her throat feeling tight. "I only saw you praying, I didn't see anyone leaving." "Should say you saw 'us' praying." "I only see you alone." "Nikai was here praying with me just now, and you came in. You've seen him come here to pray every day for the past week." The priest gave her a sad look. "I'll take you to the doctor!" "I was talking about Nikai!" she insisted. "Remember? He's the one who almost hit the bus." "A few days ago, I saw you almost hit a car, and you asked me the date of that day!" "I..." Gray asked back, "Nikai was the one who asked you the date!" She took a big step forward, "Remember? You waved to us when we passed by on bicycles!" The pastor stepped back a little, "I only saw you riding a bicycle alone, no one else was with you." "No..." Gray's eyes were wide open, with a look of extreme fear.She ran out of the church and ran to the hotel where she was staying without looking back. When she opened the door, all of Nikai's things disappeared without a trace, even the emerald ring that Nikay gave her was gone. "No!" Gray shouted, then grabbed the purse and rushed out of the room. After a whole day of running around and asking, Gray returned to the hotel exhausted. She drank water all day, but she didn't feel hungry. She just felt that her whole body was completely defeated. She had been to ancient coin trading shops and men's clothing stores , a library, a dental office, a tavern, a coffee shop, a bicycle shop, but none of them remembered seeing Nikay, they all claimed to have seen her, even Mrs Donby, the lady shopkeeper. All this is her fault!Nikai's way is that after Shi Luobo framed him, he stayed in the modern age well, and he disappeared between her fingers until the two had a physical relationship. Gray sat in front of the bed in a daze, and didn't hear the phone ring at all. Suddenly, she woke up like a dream, and the ring had already rang five times. She picked up the phone, "Hello?" "Grey." Robb's stern and angry voice came from the other end, "have you gone crazy enough?" Gray was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to fight back, "What are you going to do?" "I want that diamond necklace. You won't get tired of your lover and forget it, will you?" "What?" She suddenly felt full of strength. "You saw him! Did you see Nikai? You should have seen him. He pushed you out into the street. You couldn't forget it!" "Do you have a problem with your nerves? No one has ever pushed me into the street, and no one dared to do that." He sighed, "I want to get back that bracelet." "Of course." She said hastily. "However, didn't you mention the 'lover' just now?" "I don't have to repeat everything I've said—" "Robb," Gray said in a steady voice, "if you don't make it clear, I'll throw the chain down the toilet and flush it down. I don't believe you have insured it yet." Robb on the other end of the phone hesitated. "It's a wise move to get rid of you. You are not in the right mind. No wonder your family insists on giving you financial autonomy after you turn thirty-five." "I'm going to the bathroom." "Okay! Fuck you! That night, you kept talking nonsense, I couldn't understand what you were talking about? Said you had a job to help someone rewrite history, as far as I remember, There are only so many." "Rewrite history?" Gray said to himself, yes!Nikai is here for one reason: to change history. "Grey! Grey!" Robb yelled, but she had put down the receiver. She took out a large duffel bag, threw the laundry in, and sat on the edge of the bed until dawn.Tomorrow she would go to the manor houses that had belonged to Nikai; to hear how she and Nikai had changed history.
Gray took the first train from Ash Bolton to Bellwood Castle.When she was very disappointed, she and Nikai did not change much history. Although Nikai learned the name of the person who framed him from modern times, he still suffered the fate of being guillotined after returning. The tour guide of Fort Wood said that Count Denikel was good at eating, drinking and having fun during his lifetime, especially good at flirting with women. He finally died on September 9, 1564. Gray didn't believe in evil, and took the train to Shawick Castle. When their library materials were exactly the same as what the tour guide said, Gray finally walked out of the library like a defeated rooster, and sat on a bench by the street. Down. "Grey, is that you?" Raising her head, she saw Luo Hanming standing in front of her. "It really is you. There is no one around here with fiery red hair like you, why are you here? I thought you had left this place!" Gray stood up, then swayed unsteadily. "Are you okay? You look ugly!" "Just a little tired, it's okay." He took a closer look and saw the dark shadows under her eye circles and the dryness on her skin, "I guess you're probably hungry too." He took Grey's hand and carried her luggage bag, "There's an organic tavern around the corner , let's go get something to eat." She obediently let him lead her forward, and when she got to this point, what else did she care about? After entering the tavern, Gray took a sip of beer, and only then remembered that he hadn't even had a sip of anything since he had breakfast with Nikai yesterday. "Which places did you go to after leaving Shavik Castle last week?" Luo Hanming asked. "Nikai and I went to Ash Bolton together." While she was speaking, she focused her eyes on Luo Hanming. "Is he your friend?" "Yes." She replied softly, "How about you? How are you doing?" He smiled slightly, "The day after you left, Mr. Han came to repair the wall of Mrs. Daimazhi's room. Guess what we found?" "A group of mice." Gray said with little interest. Luo Hanming leaned his upper body forward, showing a mysterious expression, "We found an iron box, and the documents inside recorded all the truth about Count Nikai's execution on the guillotine that Mrs. March knew. The small iron box will be the capital of my fame, because it is related to a secret from four hundred years ago." "Let's listen to it." Gray still said softly, but his sanity had begun to recover. Luo Hanming leaned back on the chair back. "Oh! That can't be done. Last time you tricked me into giving Luobo's name. This time I won't be fooled again." Gray leaned forward, and said in a calm and soft tone: "You may not know my family well, but the Meng family is a well-known and wealthy family in the world. When I reach the age of thirty-five, I can inherit hundreds of thousands of people. Wan’s family property, if you are willing to tell Mrs. Wumage about the content of the document, I will sign the assignment right now—giving you one million dollars.” "I'm just hoping to get a place in a history department at an Ivy League school," he said quietly. "It's a deal." She replied bluntly, even if she was asked to donate a college or library in exchange for Luo Hanming's teaching position, she still thought it was worth it. "In this case, you have to listen carefully. This is an unprecedented discovery. The Dai family has some kind of blood relationship with Henry VI, so they have an unobvious but real right to inherit the throne. Many people have already Forget it, but there is a lady named Ke Qingcai who remembers it very well." "Nikai's wife?" "That's right! It seems that the Ke family also has the right to inherit the throne due to some kind of origin, but the relationship is more distant than the Dai family. Mrs. Marge firmly believes that Qingcai is a very scheming woman. She is planning to marry the Dai family. The purpose is to have a son and put him on the emperor's throne." "If that's the case, why did she marry Nikai instead of his elder brother?" He smiled. "It seems that you don't know much about the Middle Ages! The eldest son of the Dai family is named...uh..." "Cover!" "Yes! Kefer has already been engaged to a daughter of a wealthy French man who is only twelve years old. As far as I know, although the sun is beautiful, Kefer would rather choose wealth." "But Chick died young, and Nikai inherited the title." Gray said softly. "Mrs. Marges vaguely pointed out that the death of Kefer may not have been accidental, he was drowned, but Mrs. Marges said that his swimming skills were quite superb. However, as to whether his death was not accidental, Mrs. Marges did not comment definite evidence." "Anyway, Qingcai married Nikai." "Yes, it's a pity that the development of the matter is different from Qingcai's original idea. Nikai doesn't seem to be keen on official career, he is only interested in women. Not long after they got married, Qingcai found that it was impossible to use Nikai She fulfilled her wish, so she started to find a way to get rid of him." "It's like getting rid of Kever." "This matter has been investigated without any evidence, but Nikai did encounter many extremely dangerous life worries. Once, the stirrup broke, and he—" "He fell off his horse," Gray said almost to himself, "and he broke his calf." "I'm not sure about this point. There is no record in Mrs. Marge's documents. Since Nikai is not as easy to solve as Ke Fu, Qingcai began to consider asking others to help." "It turned out she chose Shrubby." Luo Hanming couldn't help showing an admiring smile. "You can write your own detective novels! Not bad! Qingcai chose Xi Luobo, the latter is Han Aibei's husband, because of the affair between Ai Bei and Nikai at the table is well known, Xi Luobo There was a lot of hatred for Nicki, and it was even worse when, nine months later, Abe gave birth to a baby boy with black hair." "But the mother and child died of dystocia." "That's right. Mrs. Marge thinks it's the work of Xi." Gray took a sharp breath. "Qingcai later teamed up with Xi Luobo to frame Nikai, and he was guillotined for treason." "According to Mrs. Marge's judgment, Qingcai has been waiting for an opportunity, so when Nikai organized an army to protect his property in Wales, she told the matter to Xi, who rode overnight to the queen In a way, there is a reason for Queen Elizabeth to believe in Sherborough. Just a few months ago, Mary, Queen of Scots, had just declared herself Queen of England and Scotland. It is precisely at this time that the army is being formed, no wonder the queen will not hesitate to condemn him." "Qingcai and Xi Luobo's trick to kill with a knife is really vicious." Luo Hanming smiled slightly. "In fact, what happened after Nico was beheaded is quite ironic. Qing Cai has always been careful and careful, but she never expected Sherbo's greed and viciousness. Mrs. March guessed that Ni Ke After Kai's death, Qingcai wanted to use this person to start her original plan again. However, Xi Luobo had another plan, threatening Qingcai to marry him by telling the truth to the queen and the whole family, because he I want my son to be on the throne of the emperor." "This is blackmail!" "It's indeed blackmail. If this story is written as a novel, it will definitely be listed on the best-seller list. Closer to home, Qingcai had to marry someone surnamed Xi." Luo Hanming suddenly snorted at this moment. laughter. "The most ridiculous point of this whole story is that Qingcai is barren at all, she has never had a miscarriage, she has never conceived, but she doesn't realize it, poor Nikai, for a son she can't get To be guillotined by her is unbelievable, isn't it?" "Yes!" Gray forced out the words. "What happened to Mrs. Marge?" "Neither Qingcai nor Xi Luobo knew that the old lady was clear about their conspiracy. Fortunately, she would have killed the old man. Marge is a smart person. She knew that she could not provide any real evidence, so So she kept silent, the Queen confiscated the land of the Dai family, and the Xi proposed her to marry Han Richard, his former father-in-law. There was a reason for Shirobe to do this. Three children born to Abe are still alive, Once Marge and Richard became husband and wife, according to the standards at the time, Shirobe and the Dai family had some kind of distant relationship, so Queen Elizabeth gave Shirobe two manors that originally belonged to the Dai family. Bai." Luo Hanming took a sip of beer to moisten his throat, "After Mrs. Marge married Han Richard, she recorded all the things in her heart and kept them in an iron box, and asked her loyal old servant to carve a hole in the wall for her. A hole to accommodate this box." He paused for a moment, "It was a wise move for her to do this, according to a letter from a friend of Mrs. Marge, the old lady was found dead at the bottom of the stairs two weeks later, with her neck It has already been broken. I guess that after the Xis got the two manors, they thought she was useless, so they killed her." Gray was silent for a long time before asking: "What happened to Xi Luobo and Qingcai?" "Probably suffering in hell! Frankly, I don't know. According to the history books, they had no children, so the parents passed it down to a nephew, who was a born black sheep and squandered everything within a few years." , and embarked on the road to bankruptcy, if you want to know the fate of Qingcai and Xi Luobo, I'm afraid you have to spend a lot of time looking for information. Historians don't seem to be very interested in these two people, at least so far. Exactly." He grinned. "Maybe things will be different when I publish the book." "I have to go," Gray said suddenly. "Where do you live? I can walk back with you." "I didn't book a hotel." She looked up suddenly. "I want to live at Shawick Castle." "Who doesn't want to? It's just that you have to book a year in advance to get a room. Wait a minute, don't be sad, I'll call and ask." A few minutes later, he walked back with a smile. "You are so lucky. Someone just canceled the reservation temporarily, and you can live in it now. Let's go! I will give you a ride." "No need." Gray said, "I need to be alone, thank you for inviting me to this dinner, and thank you for telling me so many things." After shaking hands with Luo Hanming, she got up and walked out of the tavern.
After a sleepless night at Sharwick Castle, Gray awoke the next day, still very depressed, and took the train back to Ashbolton, passing the Nekai stone tomb on the way back to the hotel. The church, Gray's feet involuntarily walked towards the door of the church.There was no one in the church, and the sunlight came in through the stained glass and shone softly on Nikai's stone tomb. "Nikai," she said, standing in front of the stone tomb, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm onion smoked again." Gray said tearfully, "Dear Nicki, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I seem to be born useless, but, before I met you, no one had ever My incompetence cost me my life." Gray choked up and could hardly speak. "Oh God!" she whispered, "Nikai, how can I live with your blood on my hands?" Gray opened the handbag and took out the tissue. When she was blowing her nose, she suddenly saw a piece of paper falling from the tissue bag to the ground.She leaned over to pick it up, and at a glance she saw that it was the note that Nikai had written. "Oh! Nicki." She burst into tears again, and her legs could no longer support her weight. Gray slowly slid to the floor and pressed the note to her cheek. "I'm sorry, Nikki," she said choked up, "I'm really sorry I couldn't be of any help to you." She leaned her forehead against the marble tomb and curled her whole body into a ball. "God," she whispered, "help me forgive myself." Grey, who was in deep pain, didn't notice that the sun was falling on her hair, and the window through which the sun shines happened to be a kneeling and praying angel painted on the glass.The golden sunlight shone through the halo on the angel's head, just projecting on Grey's hair, and as the white clouds moved in the sky, the sunlight also shone on Nika's marble hand. "Please." Gray still murmured, "Please." Just then, Gray heard a burst of laughter—Nikai's! "Nikai?" She looked up, but there was no one there.Gray stood up stiffly, "Nikai?" She looked up, but there was no one there.Gray stood up stiffly. "Nikai?" she called out, raising her voice.The laughter came again, and Gray turned around sharply.She reached out her hand, but she didn't touch anything. "It's you!" she exclaimed. "I know it's you." Gray raised her face to the sunlight and the angel on the window, she closed her eyes, "It must be you." In an instant, Gray suddenly felt as if someone punched her heavily in the lower abdomen, and she fell to the floor with her arms around her waist. When she was struggling to stand up, she felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. She thought to herself, can't Dirty the nave of the church, hurry to the bathroom.However, she was about to walk, but her body didn't listen to the command. "Nikai." She whispered and stretched out her hand towards his stone tomb. Then, her eyes went dark, and she was lost in an instant.
When she awoke, Gray was still a little dizzy and didn't know where she was.Opening her eyes, she saw the blue sky and big trees with lush leaves. "What's the matter?" she murmured to herself. Did she walk out of the church without knowing it? Gray sat up and saw a figure of a man on the horizon in the distance. She couldn't see clearly because of the distance, but the man seemed to be wearing a brown burqa and was plowing the field with a hoe. She blinked She blinked, but the scene in front of her eyes did not change. She thought to herself, the English countryside really has a rural atmosphere! At this time, a woman's delicate laughter came from behind her. "Sir Nickay," the woman called in a dreamy, sweet voice. Gray jumped up without thinking, and ran straight for the pile of bushes that made the noise. Rolling around on the ground—it was Nikai, her Nikai, half of his shirt was off, and his strong arms were holding a plump girl in a suit. A dress with a rather peculiar style, and half of her breasts were almost completely exposed. "Nikai," Gray said loudly, "how could you? How could you treat me like this?" Tears welled up in her eyes again, "I'm so worried about you, but you are here And... this... oh! Nikki, how can you?" She took out a tissue and blew her nose vigorously. The two people on the ground had stopped rolling, and the girl hastily pulled up her front skirt, then got out from under Nikai, and rushed out of the bushes. Nikai, scowling, rolled over, propped himself up on one elbow, and looked up at the redhead. "What do you mean?" he asked bluntly. Gray's anger just now disappeared in an instant, and there was only one thing in his mind, Nika is here! She threw herself at Nikai, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his face passionately.Nikai hugged her, and they fell back to the ground together. "Nikai, it was you, oh! My dear, after you left, I was so sad, no one remembered you, and no one remembered that we were together." She kissed his forehead, "You kept Beard, but it doesn't matter, I like your appearance quite a bit." He also kissed Grey back, and unbuttoned her chest with his hands, and then kissed her breasts with his lips. "Nikai, I have a lot to tell you. After you left, I met Luo Hanming. He told me about Qingcai and Xi Luobo...and... oh! It feels so good... so comfortable." Gray His sanity gradually became a little blurred. "No!" She suddenly pushed Nikai away forcefully. "We can't do this. Have you forgotten what happened last time? We have to talk about it. I have a lot to tell you, but do you know that you were executed in the end?" As soon as Nikai heard this, he stopped trying to pull her back into his arms. "Me? Executed? Miss, could you please tell me why?" "Because you were accused of treason, because you organized an army without authorization, because—Nikai, you shouldn't lose your memory too? Listen to me, I don't know how long you can stay here, but, I have to tell you , everything is due to your wife's conspiracy, I know you love her very much; however, she married you purely because she saw that you were related to the queen, in short, Qingcai wanted to get rid of you, because you don't If you are willing to listen to her, you cannot let her child become emperor. Of course, she will not have children, but she doesn't know it." Having said that, she suddenly stopped. "Why are you looking at me like that? Wait, where are you going?" "I'm going home. I'm not interested in hearing your nonsense here." He stood up and began to tuck his shirt into his bloomers. Gray also stood up. "Nonsense? That's new. Wait, Nicky, you can't go." He turned to face her, "If you want to complete the good thing just now" - he nodded to the ground. "I'd be happy to stay and pay you a good bounty afterwards, but I'm not interested in your nonsense." Gray stared at him blankly, completely unable to understand what he was saying, "Pay me the bounty?" she repeated softly. "Nikai, what's wrong with you? You're acting like you've never seen me before." "Yes! Miss! I have never seen you." He turned and walked outside. Gray froze and couldn't speak. She pushed through the bushes to catch up, and then noticed that Nikai was wearing a black velvet coat, which seemed to be dotted with... "Is that a diamond?" she asked in astonishment. Nicki squinted at her. "I've never tolerated thieves," he said in a slightly warning tone. "I'm not trying to rob you, I just haven't seen anyone sew diamonds on their clothes." She took a few steps back, and then looked at him carefully. It's true that this person is Nikai, but his expression lacks seriousness and Serious, and seems to be quite young. "Nikai?" she asked. "What year is it now?" He put on a short shawl, pulled out a steed from behind the bushes, and quickly turned on the horse, "1560, now, you witch, go away, don't block my way." "Nikai, wait!" she yelled.But Nikay had already galloped away on horseback. Gray sat down dejectedly, resting her head on her hands. When she first met Nikay, he was from 1564, but today is 1560. , no wonder he didn’t know her. At this time, a thought suddenly popped into her mind. In 1560, many things had not happened yet. If she wanted to stop it, it was still too late. Her mood was instantly relieved. She grabbed her handbag and stood up, walking toward the nun. Kai just walked in the direction where she left. Along the way, she met a few countrymen dressed in shabby clothes, and noticed that the surrounding environment was unbearably dirty, and even the road was piled with a lot of livestock manure. Gray passed a shabby She wanted to enter the house to ask for directions, but was regarded as a witch by the people in the house. She took out a match from the luggage bag and lit it, and then scared them back into the house, but she herself was already trembling with fear. She couldn't help thinking of Nikai's first arrival in the 20th century, and she couldn't help feeling admiration for him from the bottom of her heart. It started to rain suddenly, and Grey held up her umbrella. At this time, she had already run away from the house and entered a small clearing in the forest. Grey sat down against a tree trunk and buried her face between her knees. "Oh Nikki, where are you?" she asked softly. Gray remembered the day she first met Nikai. Didn't she also cry and hide in a dormitory?He had found Gray and said that he had to come because he heard her calling, and since this trick worked then, it should work now. Thinking of this, Gray lowered her head, and single-mindedly asked Nika to come to her. "Nikai, come quickly!" she murmured, "come to me quickly." As twilight fell and the rain intensified, Nikail emerged at last, riding the tall black horse. Gray looked up at him with a smile, "I knew you would definitely come." Instead of smiling, he glared at her. "Mrs. Marge wants to see you," he said. "Your mother? She wants to see me?" Gray wasn't sure about her eyesight due to the heavy rain, but she seemed to think that Nika was surprised by her words. "Okay! I'll go see her." Gray stood up, and after handing him the umbrella, she held out her hand so that he could pull her onto the horse. Shockingly, Nikai took the umbrella, looked at it with interest for a while, and then rode away with the umbrella, leaving Gray in the heavy rain. Gray wanted to curse, but only Resisting it, she walked back to the shade of the tree, dodging the relentless rain a little, and not long after, Nikai returned on horseback, the umbrella still propped on her head. "You have to come with me," he said. "Do you want me to walk?" she growled. "You took my umbrella and rode pompously on the horse, and you wanted me to walk behind you in the mud, that's what you intended, wasn't it?" He seemed a little puzzled, "What you said is really strange." "It's no stranger than those pedantic ideas in your head, Nikai, I'm cold, hungry, and drenched, please help me get on the horse, and we'll go to see Ling Tang together." He grinned, stretched out his hand and pulled her onto the horse according to his words.He didn't put her in the saddle, though—her hips fell on the undulating shell of the horse, and he lifted Gray's hands around his waist, pressing them against the bump of the saddle.Then he handed her the umbrella. "Hold it up for me." After he finished speaking, he kicked the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward. Arriving in front of a three-story building, Nika got off his horse, handed over his coat and hat to the servant, and then turned and went upstairs without saying a word. Gray had to hurry up to follow him, and Nika pushed open a door , walked into the door with big strides. "I brought the woman," Gray heard Nikai say. "Wait a minute." Gray hurriedly followed through the door, and was immediately overwhelmed by the luxurious furnishings in the room, "My God!" She whispered in extreme surprise. "Bring her here," said a limping, commanding voice. Only then did Gray see a woman lying on the big bed in the room. Her eyes were very similar to Nikai's. "Come here." The woman on the bed said in a commanding tone, and Gray moved closer. After approaching, Gray suddenly found that the lady's left hand was resting on a pillow.A man in a black robe bends down. "Are these leeches?" Gray asked in shock, her eyes fixed on the few black worms attached to the lady's arms, and she noticed the look exchanged between Mrs. Marge and her son at this moment . "I've been told you're a witch and you rub your fingers together to make fire." Gray was still staring at the leeches. "Don't you feel pain?" "Of course," the woman replied, "I'd like to see the magic you do with your fingers." Gray walked to the bed and put the luggage bag on the table, "You really shouldn't allow that person to treat you. Listening to your voice, you seem to have a cold. Do you have a headache? Sneezing? Feeling tired easily?" The lady stared at her with wide eyes, and nodded in astonishment. "I guessed right." Gray reached out and fumbled in the bag, "As long as you order that person to take away these disgusting things, I can cure your illness. Oh! I found it, the medicine for colds. "She raised the small bag in her hand. "Mother." Nika took a step forward. "You can not--" "Stand back, Nikki," said Mrs. March, "and you," she added to the doctor. The man pulled the leeches off Mrs. Marge's arm and threw them into a leather box. "You need a glass of water," Gray said. "Bring the wine!" Madam Marge ordered, and Nikai immediately presented a silver goblet. Gray noticed the unusually quiet and tense atmosphere in the room, and couldn't help but think of how brave Mrs. Marge was, who could accept medicine from strangers without hesitation.Gray handed her the pill, "Swallow it, it should take effect in about twenty minutes." "Mother." Nicky opened his mouth to speak again, but Mrs. Marge waved her hand to stop him, and swallowed the pill with the wine. "If she behaves in any way, I will settle the score with you." Nikai whispered in her ear. Gray is inevitably a little nervous. What should people do if their physiques are not yet adapted to cold pills?What if Mrs. Marge is allergic to the drug? Gray felt chills all over her body, but no one in the room noticed her. Everyone was looking at the old lady with all their attention. She moved her body uneasily, only then did she notice that there was a man standing beside the curtain of the big bed. people.She could tell that this person was a woman wearing a loose tutu skirt. Gray couldn't help coughing, and Nikai immediately glared at her fiercely. This was almost the longest twenty minutes in Gray's life. Finally, Mrs. Marge sat up from the bed, her eyes wide open, "I'm fine!" she said in a tone full of surprise. "You're not fully healed," Gray said. "You'll have to lie in bed for a few days and drink more orange juice...or something else." At this moment, the woman beside the bed stepped forward to tighten the quilt for the old lady. "I'm healed," said Mrs. Marge. "You! Get out!" she yelled at the doctor who used the leech, and the latter stepped back hastily. "Nikai, take her down, give her food and clothes, and bring her to see me early tomorrow morning." "Me?" Niki asked in amazement. "I?" "You found her, so you should be responsible.
