??The ancients said: "Looking up the mountain and running to death," is absolutely correct.
The four of them could see the ancient castle from a distance, but Lin Jingbao drove for about twenty minutes before he parked the car in front of the ancient castle.
"Boom"
A loud thunder struck, and the three women were so frightened that they trembled into a ball, hugging each other, and a slightly frightened look appeared on their pretty faces.
Lin Jingbao turned around and looked around, smiled slightly and said, "You stay in the car, I'll go up and call the door."
¡°Bump! Bump! Bump!¡±
After a while, the old wooden door was finally opened.
"Squeak~"
Lin Jingbao saw an old man in his sixties, with a slightly bent back, opening the door and sticking his head out to look at him expressionlessly.
"Hello, the four of us are passing through here. There is a hurricane blowing outside and we can't find a place to stay nearby. I wonder if I can let you stay here for a night?"
Lin Jingbao spoke to the old man in English, but he didn't know whether the other person could understand him.
The housekeeper obviously understood what he said. He stepped out of the way and replied in a low and hoarse voice: "Come in, it's very windy and rainy outside."
Lin Jingbao nodded and thanked him. After returning to the car, he took out a few bags of luggage, waved to the three guys in the car, and walked straight into the gate of the castle.
Alice, Yan Jing, and Tinker Bell all looked at each other, at a loss.
It was Tinkerbell who shouted: "Let's go in quickly. Brother Xiaobao has already gone in. Is there any monster more powerful than Brother Xiaobao? It's more dangerous to stay here!"
Yan Jing heard that it made sense, so she pulled Tinker Bell and quickly ran out of the car. It was even more impossible for Alice to stay in the car alone, so she also hurriedly caught up with the two people in front of her.
The castle was dark and gloomy, and the candlestick in the old butler¡¯s hand didn¡¯t seem to be able to bring much light to everyone.
Through the candlelight and the flashes of thunder and lightning outside from time to time, the four of them could vaguely see the scene in the passage.
There are some bead nets on the slightly damp masonry, and the iron products on the walls are covered with rust. There are cracks on some iron-clad wooden doors, and the door knockers and iron nails are also full of traces of rust. The surrounding objects completely present the long history of this castle, and also show that the owner of this castle did not carefully maintain the concept of this castle.
Lin Jingbao used his eyesight to see that everything around him was as natural as daytime, and it had no impact on him. I couldn't help but secretly thought that it would not be a good thing to live here. It was too big and too quiet. Even now when I was walking in the corridor, I could clearly hear the footsteps of the five people echoing in the air.
"Please come with me, your place is upstairs."
The butler used his hoarse voice to ask everyone to keep up with him. Lin Jingbao nodded in thanks, followed the other party up the steps, turned back to the three girls and raised his chin, signaling to follow.
Tinker Bell grabbed Yan Jing¡¯s arm tightly with her hand, and Alice also tightly hugged Yan Jing¡¯s other arm. When the old housekeeper spoke just now, the three girls shuddered involuntarily.
Previously, they did not come to call the door with Lin Jingbao, but stayed in the car. Suddenly, in this castle that made people feel eerie, their scalps were numb, and they could not help getting goosebumps all over their bodies, such a hoarse voice sounded, as if a file had been rubbed against glass, how could one not be frightened.
There was a strong wind outside. When it blew by, it seemed like ghosts were really crying and wolves were howling. The wind was very strong. Thunder and lightning flashed from time to time in the corridor, and the shadows of several people were imprinted diagonally on the surrounding walls.
Many scenes from horror movies appeared in Tinkerbell's mind, which were very similar to the situation here. She was frightened and regretted why she liked watching those movies. At this moment, her whole body was pressed against Yan Jing's body and she spoke softly.
"Sister Xiaojing, do you think there might be a ghost here! I-I'm so scared!"
Yan Jing was also worried, her blood pressure and heartbeat were obviously accelerating, but she still held on and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, there are people here, there will be no ghosts. Even if there is a ghost, Xiaobao will take care of it." If you run away, it won't hurt us, don't be afraid."
Alice heard Tinker Bell¡¯s words and hugged her tightly. Yan Jing was sandwiched between the two, but she felt the slightest sense of security. Even she herself didn't understand why this was the case.
The four of them followed the old housekeeper through the circular corridor. Lin Jingbao also saw through the glass windows on the side wall of the corridor that the hurricane in the distance was powerfully blowing through the surrounding trees, destroying the surrounding trees.The centuries-old trees were blown to and fro.
The five people walked upstairs, and the old housekeeper's voice sounded again.
"This is where you rest. My master is very hospitable. You can rest here. There are three bedrooms in total. You can arrange them yourself."
Lin Jingbao said with a smile: "Thank you for your arrangement, we are very satisfied. However, please forgive me for being rude, are there lights or other things here, or a water heater?"
The old servant's withered facial muscles trembled slightly, as if he smiled at Lin Jingbao, and said: "We haven't had guests here for more than ten years. You are considered honored guests of our castle. But unfortunately, we don't have guests here." There is no electricity, and there is no special entertainment. There is still hot water, and there is hot water in the bathroom in the house. If you need anything, you can come to me in the hall downstairs."
At this point, he paused and then said: "I will go upstairs to invite you to eat in an hour. I hope you will feel happy here."
After saying that, he turned around and left slowly.
The three women were at a loss when they saw each other's pale face through the light of the white candles in the room.
"boom!"
"Boom"
"ah!"
Lin Jingbao closed the wooden door covered with iron bars. At the same time, he heard a huge thunder roar outside, and lightning flashed across the dark night sky, which was very dazzling.
¡°Then, I heard the three girls shouting, closing their eyes tightly, hugging each other tightly, shaking like chaff.
Lin Jingbao felt angry and funny. Alice didn't understand him, so there was nothing to say. But Yan Jing and Tinker Bell are usually fearless of the sky and the earth. During the last baby theft case, these two girls kept clamoring about how they would deal with the zombies if they were here.
However, he never imagined that in such an environment, a thunder would scare them so much that they wouldn't even dare to open their eyes.
"I'm going to take a shower first. You guys stay here and don't move around. I'll be out soon."
After saying that, Lin Jingbao took out his luggage, found a change of clothes, and walked towards the dark bathroom.
It took a while for Yan Jing and the other three girls to come back to their senses. They looked at each other, and they were still a little frightened. The only man was not around at the moment, so they didn't dare to leave each other too far.
At this time, Tinker Bell hugged Yan Jing's slender waist tightly and asked in a trembling voice: "Ai, sister Alice, what you said just now in the car, in the car, is it true!"
Alice was almost paralyzed on the ground in fear just now, and now she felt the need to urinate. However, the bathroom was occupied by Lin Jingbao again, so she had no choice but to endure it.
"I, I have also heard other people say that I have never been here before. I, I don't dare to come. If I hadn't encountered a hurricane today, I don't think I would have come here in my life. It feels really eerie here. It¡¯s so creepy that my scalp is numb!¡±
"Boom"
There was another huge thunder roar, making Alice and Tinkerbell hug Yan Jing even tighter. Yan Jing was also very scared at this time, but she was used to being carefree, so she was not afraid at this time.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, Xiaobao is here, he will protect us, don't worry."
Alice has never really seen Lin Jingbao's fighting power, and she is still a little scared. However, Tinker Bell understood, and after hearing these words, she felt reassured. After exhaling a long breath, she rubbed her chest and said in an arrogant voice: "Ding Bell won't be afraid, I have grown up! Humph, I I don¡¯t need Brother Xiaobao¡¯s protection. I can do it on my own. Look at you two adults being so scared. Really, if it were me"
Tinkerbell was making her own heroic declaration. Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded in the dark night, directly interrupting this bold statement.
"What would happen if it were you?"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of fear, closed her eyes, plunged into Yan Jing's arms, and shouted: "Sister Xiaojing, sister little Jing, hurry, hurry up woo"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? This girl was frightened to tears by these words.
Lin Jingbao wiped the water drops on his hair and neck with a large bath towel, and slowly walked out of the darkness. The words just now naturally came from his mouth.
Seeing that Tinker Bell was so frightened by his own words, he laughed and cursed: "Tinker Bell, didn't you say you were an adult just now, why are you still crying?"
Only now did Tinker Bell realize that it was he who said those words just now, so she turned around and rushed towards Lin Jingbao.She hugged his thigh and cried: "Oh Brother Xiaobao is a big bad guy, he scares everyone to death, oh"
Lin Jingbao suppressed a laugh, patted Tinker Bell's back gently with his hand, and said softly: "Okay, stop crying, go take a hot bath."
After finishing speaking, he said to Yan Jing and Alice: "You two should go get ready and rinse quickly, and we will go downstairs to have dinner."
The three girls entered the bathroom together with the candlestick. They did not dare to enter alone like Lin Jingbao.
An hour later, the old butler knocked on their door and said in a low and hoarse voice: "My master invites four distinguished guests to come downstairs for dinner. If you are ready, please come with me."
