The support from brothers and sisters is really amazing! I think many masters must be a little dumbfounded at this time. How can a book with no recommendation position have such data? ! In addition, please ask for recommendation votes and collections. In the evening, there will be the third update of today. I have fulfilled my promise. Thank you everyone for your support! ****
The gate of the castle is a wooden door assembled from long wooden boards, like a fence. It is about five or six meters high and about ten meters wide. It is in tatters and tied with a large iron chain, and the iron chain is buckled. Wearing a simple black iron lock.
Wang Bo took out the key. The key ring was like a hand bell. There were probably forty or fifty keys on it. The largest key was like a chicken leg, so it was naturally the door key.
He thought that the rusty iron lock was difficult to open, but after inserting the key, he easily opened the lock. Charlie explained to him: "In fact, this castle has only been closed for less than half a month. Before that, Sir But I’ve been living in it.”
Charlie sneered: "I have seen more dead people than you have seen living people..."
At this point, he fell silent. He was probably so bragging that even he was embarrassed.
The castle looks very majestic from the outside. Although it is old, it still retains its power. However, after entering, you can find that the castle is dirty, chaotic and dilapidated:
After entering through the gate, there is an inner wall that is lower than the outer wall, and an alley is formed between the two walls. You can only enter the castle by crossing the door in the inner wall. There are small houses similar to guard rooms and conveyor rooms on both sides of the inner door. The door is facing a small square, which is covered with weeds. There is only half a statue left in the middle.
There are several trees and houses on the east and west sides of the square. The trees are tall but withered. The houses are of different heights and their uses are unknown. Charlie introduced him that this is a barn, this is a bakery, that is an auditorium, and that is a church. He knows better. But because these houses are so dilapidated, there is no use for them at all.
The only thing that can be seen is a huge building in front of the small square. It is the main stone building of the castle. It is forty meters high, majestic and immovable as a mountain!
With admiration, Wang Bo opened the door. Just as he was about to go in, he suddenly heard a vague English sentence.
"What?" Wang Bo turned around and asked without hearing clearly, "Charlie, what did you say?"
Charlie was still struggling to drag his bag behind him and asked, "What did you say? I didn't say anything."
Wang Bo frowned and said, "You didn't speak? I seemed to hear someone talking just now."
Charlie said angrily: "You want to scare me? Get out of the way, put down your things and take a rest..."
He pushed Wang Bo aside and walked inside first, directly going up the stairs. Wang Bo opened the door and window in the hall to get some air. This hall is almost like a small square. Lao Wang thinks that he can organize people to dance in the square in the future.
The first floor of the main castle is the tallest and broadest. The first floor may be ten meters high. It does not look like a residence, but like a domestic government office building. There are three stairs leading to the second floor, with spiral stone stairs on both sides. There is also a straight staircase in the middle of the hall, which is divided into four relaxing floors. It is extraordinary!
Just when Charlie walked up to the second floor, his figure suddenly stopped for a moment, and then slowly turned back to look at Wang Bo with a horrified expression.
"What's wrong?" Wang Bo asked with his heart shrinking.
Charlie said with a trembling voice: "Did you hear the words 'Who is coming' just now? The tone was weird?"
Wang Bo swallowed his saliva and said, "I didn't hear it clearly. Damn it, Charlie, don't tease me. You didn't hear anything, right?"
He didn't hear the sentence clearly just now. He felt it was a vague and short sentence, and thought it was the sound of wind or the sound of the door opening. But when Charlie said it now, he felt that he might have heard it correctly just now, because he felt that the vague tone was really weird, just like a foreigner speaking Chinese, which was very awkward.
It happened to be that the sun was setting in the west at this time, and the dim twilight barely shone into the fort, making the atmosphere a little deserted and gloomy. The mountain breeze blew by, and the windows that Wang Bo had just opened swayed and made a "creak" sound, so that the castle slowly took on an eerie atmosphere.
Charlie seemed to be even less courageous than Wang Bo. He ran down with his luggage and asked, "Do we really want to live here? Brother, someone just died here."
Wang Bodao: "Didn't you say that you have seen more dead people than I have ever seen?".
Charlie said in a low voice: "But a lot of people have died here! It has been a century and a half. At its peak, the Roberts family had more than two hundred people. They all died here. How many people can you count?"
Seeing this guy looking like he was going to see a ghost, Wang Bo became bolder. He patted Charlie on the shoulder and said: "Okay, buddy, let's stay here. The helicopter has gone back, and we didn't buy a tent. We won't sleep in it." Where can I sleep here? Besides, maybe you just heard it wrong. Anyway, there is no need to be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world, haha."
Although Charlie was timid, he had a tough mouth. Hearing what Wang Bo said, he sneered: "Who is scared? I'm afraid that you will be scared! OK, since you are not afraid, then let's live here - you go first, we will live here On the second floor, there are guest rooms on the second floor.”
Wang Bo looked at him funny and asked: "What about the first floor?"
"The first floor is the meeting hall, entertainment hall, kitchen, living room, bathroom and dining room. Which castle do you think has the bedrooms and guest rooms on the first floor?" Charlie said angrily.
The entire castle is made of stone, which looks rough and solid. The stairs are also made of stone, but they are polished very smoothly. It can be seen that the Roberts family put a lot of thought into building this castle.
When the stairs turned in, there were rooms. Wang Bo tried the keys and opened the two nearest rooms. Water and electricity were available inside, but there were only floors, wooden beds, tables and chairs, and nothing else. The style was so simple that it was almost crude.
However, the hygiene of these two houses is well maintained. Charlie said this is because the British government and New Zealand government funeral teams stayed here when Sir Roberts died. It was less than a week ago, so the hygiene is of course well maintained. .
Wang Bo asked Charlie to choose one room first, and then stayed in the remaining one. He patted the bed board with dirty clothes and cleaned it, then spread the bedding and put down fruits, food and other daily necessities. The prototype of the bedroom was immediately born.
Although this bedroom is very simple, Wang Bo still feels very good because it belongs to him. It feels better than the luxury apartments he rented in Beijing.
The dinner was prepared by the two of them together. Charlie was once a member of the New Zealand Funeral Group, so he was relatively familiar with the castle. He found the kitchen on the first floor and threw away the old pots and spatulas and replaced them with the new kitchen utensils he bought today. Wang Bo came to cook.
There is no natural gas in the castle, so you have to use an electric wok for cooking. Wang Bo first boiled a pack of macaroni, cooled it with cold water, and then fried it with bibimbap sauce, carrots, onions, and diced ham.
He has left his hometown to study abroad since junior high school. He has been cooking for more than ten years. Although he cannot cook a large meal, he is very good at home cooking. A dish of fried noodles with soy sauce and pork is fragrant. Finally, he tops it with two poached eggs, A few cucumber strips, then this dish is full of color, flavor and flavor.
In addition, he made a thick soup with tomatoes, cucumbers and eggs. This is very simple. Just chop the tomatoes as much as possible, dice the cucumbers, stir-fry the green onions and add the eggs to make the soup.
Charlie's eyes suddenly lit up after taking a bite of the noodles. He sucked the noodles into his mouth, gave a thumbs up and said: "Beautiful, your cooking skills are much more beautiful than your looks!"
Wang Bo smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, but the angle of your compliment is quite novel. I really want to cover your face with my bowl of soup to praise you!"
A simple dinner ended with the two talking and laughing. Wang Bo finally said sincerely: "Charlie, thank you very much for your help in the past few days. Our conditions are not good today. I will cook a big meal in the future." Thank you for the meal.”
Charlie waved his hand carelessly and said: "You are too polite, Wang. First of all, this is my job, and it is natural. Secondly, didn't I say that we two hit it off immediately."
That being said, Wang Bo still felt that he owed someone a favor, and Charlie really had nothing to say to him. For example, when Wang Bo couldn't access the Internet on his mobile phone, he gave Wang Bo his IAD to use.
After watching a movie, Wang Bo lay down at the window and watched the bright moonlight for a while, then lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep.
He has a small problem, that is, neurasthenia, which is also an occupational disease of many programmers. He sleeps very lightly and wakes up if there is any noise. In addition, he slept in a new bed tonight, so it was even more difficult to fall asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but Wang Bo suddenly heard a vague voice: "Hungry, hungry, hungry... Who is there, who is there, who is there..."
The sound was very awkward, just like what Charlie said on the stairs, with a weird intonation. If I wanted to use an analogy, the tone was similar to that of a foreigner speaking Chinese, very stiff.
After hearing this voice clearly, Wang Bo suddenly woke up. His adrenaline was secreted rapidly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Lying on the bed, he didn't dare to get up directly but listened carefully first. Maybe he was just hallucinating
Concentrating on concentration and holding his breath, Wang Bo just pricked up his ears, but his door suddenly made a loud bang!
****Let’s interact. Can you guess why the castle is haunted? I think a lot of people should be able to guess what's going on.
