Chapter 28
Chapter 28
It was getting late, and everything in the manor seemed very dim. The lights on the side of the road were weak, and they could only slightly illuminate a tiny area.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and shallow puddles had begun to accumulate on the ground.Because I can't see the road clearly, from time to time, someone will step on the puddle, and the sewage will splash on the trouser legs, which will hurt the people around them.
As Eve walked, the curses muttered in her mouth never stopped.
She was wearing a pair of small leather shoes with thick heels, which could easily pick up the water on the ground, and her ankles were exposed. The splashed sewage directly stained her skin, making her very uncomfortable.
Andrew, who was walking next to her, was unbearably disturbed, with a dark face and a depressed body.
The housekeeper clasped Chu Le's shoulders, and the two of them half overlapped each other. Chu Le tried to struggle to get away several times, but none of them succeeded.
Under the butler's umbrella, Chu Le only cared about "scheming" with the butler, and had no time to pay attention to the situation outside, and naturally he didn't know the status of other people outside.
The butler smiled all over his face, feeling the struggle of the little guest in his arms, instead of being angry, he felt even more joyful.
Feeling the thoughts in his heart, the butler was taken aback.
... Pleasure?
He has always disliked others going against his will, and he hasn't felt the emotion of happiness for a long time.
This little guest is really interesting.
There is desire in his eyes.
. . . I shall eat this human soul alone.
The butler led Chu Le to avoid the puddle.
In fact, in normal times, he would choose to float instead of walk.But today, he decided to accommodate this fragile little guest.
It's no fun to get scared.
Chu Le didn't realize that he was different from others...until several people walked into the living room.
Standing under the light, he suddenly realized that his state seemed a little too abrupt.
The floor of the room was covered with carpets, and the trousers of the other people were all stained with mud, and some parts of their bodies were also wet from the rain.
On the other hand, he himself was as clean as when he first arrived.
Sensing the strange eyes of the people around him, Chu Le looked at the butler blankly.
The butler smiled and nodded: "Little guest, since you are under my umbrella, I am naturally obliged to ensure that everything about you is in good condition."
The corners of Bai Ting's eyes twitched, feeling that the scene in front of him was a bit dazzling.
Chu Le nodded with a half understanding, and said politely: "Thank you for your care, Mr. Butler."
"You're welcome, this is what I'm willing to do." The butler bowed slightly, showing his wet left shoulder.
"Ah! Your left side is wet, Mr. Housekeeper!" Seeing the dark watermark, Chu Le asked worriedly, "Do you want to change your clothes first?"
The butler's smile deepened, and his thinned lips curled upwards: "Thank you for your concern, little guest, it doesn't matter, I can wait until the evening to change. The most urgent thing is to arrange board and lodging for you."
Chu Le felt a little guilty—he was scolding the housekeeper just now, but suddenly found out that the housekeeper was sacrificing himself to protect him from the rain.
He smiled gratefully at the butler: "Thank you very much, Mr. Butler."
Seeing his little white rabbit let go of his defenses and carefully leaning towards him with an obedient smile, the butler was a little emotional.
Sure enough, he was right, it was really a cute little rabbit.
The butler bowed gracefully again: "You don't have to do this."
"Guests, please come with me, the owner of the manor is waiting for your arrival."
After speaking, the butler continued to lead the way.
Chu Le didn't keep up with the large army immediately, he paused for a while.
The butler's voice was really nice...it made Chu Le blush a little.
He rubbed his face in annoyance, and secretly reproached himself for being weak in mind.
Seeing that everyone was already walking forward, Chu Le thought that no one would notice his little actions, so he secretly let out a long breath.As a result, when he opened his eyes, he found a pair of black leather shoes appeared in front of him at some point, and above them were two straight and slender legs wrapped in trousers.
Chu Le was startled, and then his whole body became stiff.
...what the hell have I done? ?
Chu Le raised his head, looked at the butler's perfect face, and smiled awkwardly but politely: "Are you still there? I thought you were leading the way..."
The butler laughed lowly, and made a breathy voice: "You are so courageous, you dare to fall behind at will in such a strange place?" His voice was full of helplessness and indulgence, which made Chu Le's face even more red.
Am I too narcissistic?Why do I always feel that this housekeeper seems to pay special attention to me? ?
Chu Le scratched his ears, and said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry... I have caused you a lot of trouble..."
The butler's eyes were gentle: "I said it before, my little guest, you don't have to apologize to me, I'm willing to do everything for you."
Chu Le: Damn this butler, he teased me on purpose!
Chu Le knew that he had indeed caused a lot of trouble for others before, so he didn't dare to refute at this time, and obediently nodded in agreement with the housekeeper.
The butler brought Chu Le to the restaurant soon.
Seeing that the restaurant was already full, Chu Le bowed awkwardly, lowered his head and hurried to the only vacant seat.
The dining table is a rectangular carved wooden table, with a total of eleven seats, and a complete and delicate meal is placed in front of each seat.
At the head of the long table sat a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with a hunchback but a hunchback. His beard was neatly groomed, and his short black hair looked very lean.
He kept smiling and looked at everyone: "Now that we are all here, first of all, I would like to welcome everyone to my manor. The rain outside is too heavy, and it probably won't stop these days. I think you should want to Would you like to stay with me for a few days?"
Arthur smiled bitterly: "You are so smart. We originally wanted to travel by car, but we were trapped here by heavy rain on the way. I am so sorry to bother you."
"In this case, everyone can stay here first and make other plans after the rain stops." The manor owner smiled politely.
Chu Le sat at the end, listening to the conversation between the two, feeling something was wrong for some reason.
The owner of the manor looked very friendly on the surface.However, Chu Le always felt an inexplicable sense of rejection in his heart.
Seeing how other people were chatting happily, Chu Le silently suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
Maybe it's because I don't like meeting strangers myself.
Chu Le consciously found a plausible reason for this feeling.
"You are such a noble and generous manor owner!" Arthur praised.
"Haha! There are guests who are willing to be guests, of course I can't be stingy!" The manor owner smiled happily, raising the red wine glass in his hand and shaking: "In that case, let me also talk about the rules in our manor."
"Everyone can walk around the manor at will during the day to watch. Some places that you can't go will be guarded, so I won't explain them to you one by one. Also, after nine o'clock in the evening, no one is allowed to appear outside, because the night of the manor , is not safe."
"This is the first and last time we sit and eat together, and a servant will deliver it to your room afterwards."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.If the degree of freedom is high, the completion of the task will be easier.
"My manor hates people wasting food the most. As long as it is delivered to the room, no matter whether you like it or not, you must eat it all!" The manor owner looked serious and his beard trembled slightly.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. If they had to finish eating, what if the manor owner deliberately tossed them and made too much food?
Seeing the emotional changes of the people, the manor owner's expression eased: "You don't have to worry too much, the daily meals are only not too much, so you won't be overwhelmed."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"But." The owner of the manor changed the subject and made everyone mention it again.
"The number of rooms in the manor is limited, and your accommodation conditions may be different. To be fair, let's play a game and divide the rooms into points."
"The game is very simple. We roll the dice. Whoever has the most points can choose the room first." The manor owner clapped his hands twice.
The servant brought props and distributed them to the people sitting at the table one by one.
"The rooms are distributed on the second, third, and fourth floors, with three different conditions. The higher the floor, the better the conditions! Come on! Come one by one." The manor owner raised one corner of his mouth and leaned back.
The butler stepped forward and walked to the first person with a gentle smile.
Chu Le felt desolate in his heart.
He has never practiced dice rolling. He usually rolls wherever he is when he is young when he gathers with his classmates.
African sheikhs do not deserve to have a name when choosing a room.
"Alas—" Chu Le leaned on the table, looking sideways at the situation of shaking the dice.
"Wow! Four five six!" Eve squealed happily.
The people around didn't like her reaction very much, and they couldn't help being a little jealous, so they all glanced away and stopped looking at her.
Eve swayed excitedly. No one in front of her had more points than her, and there were not many people behind her.
Chu Le buried his head.
...have seen their end.
He couldn't help but look sideways at the butler, and found that he was watching others shake the dice with a serious face.
very handsome……
Chu Le secretly praised in his heart.
No matter where it is, this native NPC is really impeccably beautiful.
Of course the butler felt that he was being watched by Chu Le, but he enjoyed this feeling very much, so he didn't want to expose it.
The points of the next few people varied from small to large, most of them were numbers between three and five, and none of them surpassed Eve.She was very proud, as if she had a chance to win.
Finally it was Chu Le's turn.
Chu Le was a little nervous, couldn't help wiping the sweat on his palms, and carefully picked up these dice that determined his accommodation conditions in the next few days.
Seeing the nervous look of the little rabbit, the housekeeper lowered his head and comforted him softly: "Don't worry."
What?Don't worry?
Rao Chu Le felt that the housekeeper was reliable, and when he heard this sentence, he also felt that he was just comforting himself casually, right?It is estimated that everyone will be comforted again, right?
Chu Le suddenly felt a little sour.
However, he forcibly ignored this feeling and started to shake his dice directly.
The dice collided in the bowl, making a jingling sound, which aroused the mood of the dice shaker.
'Crack', Chu Le knocked the bowl on the table, only waiting for the color to stop by itself.
Everyone's attention was attracted.Looking forward to the last little newcomer can shake to a small point and give everyone a back.
Chu Le held the bowl in both hands, and gently lifted his direction, revealing the dice underneath.
Everyone couldn't see the count, and they were all so anxious that they all craned their necks to look.
Seeing the three dice below, Chu Le's mind went blank.
What kind of fairy dice is this?
