13 Mink Street

Chapter 50: God's twilight

Eunice came out. Today, she was wearing a pink coat, leather boots, and a black women's bag. Her chestnut shawl hair seemed to be shining in the sun.

Her outfits are really suitable, and she can always show the sweet temperament of her age just right.

in addition,

The last time we met, she was wearing black, which was a protective color to keep distance;

It is conceivable that when she was "arranged" for a blind date last time, she actually had some resistance in her heart.

But this time, she chose a softer color, which shows that she hopes to get closer to herself and likes the time spent with herself.

Karen smiled slightly.

He felt that using this kind of "professional analysis" was really a bit of a shame.

Although this was a blind date arranged by grandpa, and seeing Eunice's mother's attitude, she should have received instructions from her family;

But Karen still hopes to make everything run as smoothly as possible, which is responsible to her and to herself.

"Mr. Karen, you are here, let me introduce you, this is my mother."

"But when you stand together, you really look like sisters."

The words of the mother-in-law who praised the scum in the previous life still maintain a relatively fresh degree in this era.

"Oh hehehe..." Mrs. Jenny couldn't help laughing again.

"Mom, Mr. Cullen praised you for being young."

"Of course, I understand." Mrs. Jenny urged, "Be careful."

"Um."

Immediately afterwards,

Mrs. Jenny looked at Karen again, stretched out her hand, and pointed at him, but she seemed to realize that this behavior was inappropriate, so she withdrew her finger and clenched her fist:

"You need to get Eunice back safely before dark."

"Relax, ma'am."

Karen took the initiative to open the passenger seat,

"Thanks."

Eunice sat in.

Karen also got into the driver's seat and started the car.

When the car was about to leave Rhine Street,

Karen said:

"Oh, by the way, Mina has a stomachache, so I couldn't come."

"Oh..." Eunice covered her mouth and blushed slightly. Logically speaking, she should have asked this question first.

Karen looked at her expression,

She puffed her mouth slightly,

Very generously said:

"I know Mina won't come."

"Well, she is a good sister who is sensible and obedient."

"He is also my good student with excellent grades."

We are all "adults", and some things are tacit.

"By the way, I like Mr. Karen's collection of poems that Mina sent me last time.

The summer birds flew to my window and sang, and flew away again.

The yellow leaves of autumn, they have nothing to sing, they just sigh and fly down there.

Beautiful mood, Mr. Cullen. "

The last time Eunice gave Mina a family-style wallet, Karen would naturally choose to return the gift, which was a cat-shaped pendant hanging on an exquisite notebook.

Then, Karen copied a lot of Tagore's poems in his notebook.

"Thank you, but the human spirit does not overlap with the human being, especially in the form of poetry, which is often just a reverie for a period of time. In fact, most of the time, I can't achieve that state of mind.

It’s like the world has wind, cloud, rain, fog, and frost. Our life is enriched by their embellishments, but complicated by their existence, and cannot be kept pure. "

"You speak very well, Mr. Cullen."

"You can call me Karen, I'll call you Eunice."

"OK."

"Mr. Cullen... Karen, are you religious?"

I learned from Pu'er that the "Allen" family does not actually have a specific religious heritage. This family is very democratic in terms of beliefs, that is, when their children become adults, they can choose their beliefs according to their own needs;

This is different from the common habit nowadays where the whole family believes in one religion.

"I'm sorry, I haven't found my faith yet, I think, I can wait for me to walk a little longer and see more scenery, and wait for me to mature and settle down;

By that time, I will probably be able to have sufficient knowledge to choose the belief that suits me. "

"Really, like me, Karen."

"Yes, then which church are you more interested in?"

"Huh? Why are you asking me this?"

"I feel like I can learn a little bit more about it."

"But shouldn't belief be found by yourself, just like Karen you just said, so what you just said doesn't count?"

"But I believe that the **** I am destined to believe in will send a beautiful angel down to earth when he thinks it is appropriate to give me the torch of faith."

Eunice bit her lips lightly, holding back a smile.

And Karen silently apologized in his heart to Mr. Hoffen who was just buried this morning;

After all, at the bedside, he could drive Mr. Hoffin to death because of the issue of "faith".

But Grandpa Huofen, who was just buried, must understand.

The amusement park has arrived.

Karen stopped the car in the parking lot, and a parking lot attendant came over:

"Sir, hello, you need to pay the parking management fee first."

Karen took out a 100-rupee bill from his pocket and handed it over. Well, he didn't have a small bill in his pocket.

In addition, when he was driving earlier, he noticed that Alfred also left a wad of money in the drawer, and there were no small notes.

The administrator immediately showed a smile, and said enthusiastically:

"Thank you, sir, here is your note, please keep it."

Karen held out her hand for the ticket,

Looking at the administrator, he asked:

"How much is the management fee?"

"It's five rupees, sir."

"Okay, please change your money."

"…"administrator.

"I'm sorry, sir, do you have any change, I can't seem to find it here."

"Sorry, I don't have any, but you can wait for me. I'll go to the ice cream shop over there to buy a cone and split the money."

"I have it here." Eunice opened her bag and took out a 5-rupee banknote.

Karen naturally reached out to take it and handed it to the administrator. At the same time, he took back the one hundred rupee that he had handed over earlier.

"Which flavor of cone would you like?" Karen asked Eunice.

"Strawberry flavored."

"Okay, wait here for a while."

Karen trotted over, bought a strawberry-flavored cone, and handed it to Eunice.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Eunice asked curiously.

"It's too cold, I don't want to eat."

Eunice didn't take it seriously, and licked it: "I really liked when I was a child in the deep winter, sitting by the fireplace and listening to grandpa telling stories while eating cones."

"My grandpa likes to take me and Mina to catch loaches in the mud ponds in the suburbs in summer."

"I thought, that must be interesting."

"Yes."

Karen also found it very interesting to make up the scene of Diss catching loach.

The two bought tickets and entered the amusement park.

The items in the amusement park seemed dull and boring to Karen, after all, there were no more exciting items that he was familiar with in his previous life.

But the scenery in the amusement park is good, even in the deep winter, it still has its bleak scenery.

Karen and Eunice walked side by side on the amusement park path, neither in any rush to play.

For a long time, neither of them actually spoke, just walking so intently, and now and then, Karen would glance at Eunice, and Eunice would sometimes look back.

"What do you want to play?" Karen asked proactively.

Because they are almost halfway through the amusement park.

"I can do it, what do you want to play?" Eunice asked.

Karen stretched out his finger and pointed diagonally ahead, on which stood a amusement project building with a skull sculpture:

"Haunted house, do you want to play?"

"I'm very timid, but I've always wanted to play."

"OK."

The conductor of the haunted house is a young man wearing clown makeup and holding a balloon sledgehammer in his hand.

"Two, 5 rupees per ticket."

"Is it scary inside?" Karen asked.

"No, no, no, it's not scary at all, in fact, it's really not scary."

When handing the ticket to Karen, the conductor winked at Karen, which means: Don't worry, the lady next to you will definitely scare you and hug you tightly.

At the entrance, there was a man wearing a grimace mask, who took the ticket and made a gesture to come in at the same time.

Karen and Eunice walked into the haunted house. At the beginning, it was a relatively long and narrow tunnel, a classic haunted house operation. From time to time, "little ghosts" poked their heads out and made noises to scare you.

Karen looked very calm;

It's not a pretense, it's just because you have experienced a lot of dead people getting up again recently, your threshold will naturally become higher.

To Karen's slight surprise, Eunice also seemed to be very calm, and even touched the wooden "ghost face" with great interest.

However, it can be seen that it is the first time for her to play in a haunted house, so she is full of curiosity about the furnishings and arrangements inside.

Therefore, throughout the first half, the two of them seemed to walk over with a visiting mentality.

In front, there is a red single-plank bridge with a red light hanging on it, and air blows from the side from time to time.

In fact, if you look carefully, you can find that there are cushions under the single-plank bridge, and the height is not high, but with this atmosphere, the effect is still good.

Karen walked in front and stretched out his hand naturally. Eunice did not hesitate to hand her hand to Karen, and the two crossed the bridge together.

Halfway through, the airflow suddenly increased, like a hair dryer in a factory workshop, blowing hard at you... In fact, Karen could already hear the sound of the big blades of the hair dryer turning.

Eunice was so blown that she couldn't stand still, Karen hugged her waist to help her maintain her balance, and when she hugged her waist, the hair dryer suddenly weakened.

Karen wondered which corner the conductor should be hiding in and peeping.

Yes, the quality and level of this service can catch up with that of Inmeles.

In the second half of the haunted house environment, there are more religious elements, and torture in various religions appears.

Eunice also seemed to suddenly feel that she should be afraid, so she was.

From time to time, she would let out a slight exclamation, and Karen kept her hand on her waist to give her a sense of protection.

finally,

The two "see the sun again".

Eunice straightened her hair, and Karen naturally withdrew her hand.

The conductor boss holding a balloon hammer came over and asked:

"Two, do you want to buy some souvenirs to go back?"

As he said that, he opened the box in front of him, which contained very cute skull accessories, which were very cartoony and cute.

Karen chose two cute skull key chains;

"50 rupees, thank you."

Karen gave the money.

This is hard work and deserves it.

"Karen, aren't you afraid?" Eunice asked curiously.

"It's scary," Karen replied.

"Then why can't you see it at all?"

"I'm just holding on, hehe."

"hehe."

If it is designed as the Naihe Bridge Yanluo Temple or the oil pan under the bull's head and horse's face, he can be nervous and frightened, but for the second half of the religious horror element, he does not have that sense of culture for the time being.

There is a snack bar in the park in front, which specializes in selling meatballs. In Karen's view, it is a bit like "Oden".

One paper cup per person, the two filled a lot, and sat on the bench after paying the bill.

"There is a movie theater nearby, shall we go to the movies later?" Karen asked.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After finishing the snack, Karen and Eunice left the amusement park, drove out, and arrived at the movie theater about ten minutes later.

Karen asked Eunice to choose a movie, and she chose a comedy that was about to open.

After buying popcorn and orange juice, Karen and Eunice went inside.

There are a lot of vacant seats inside, just sit there.

The movie opened very quickly. It was a romantic comedy. Apart from Karen, the other couples in the audience were also young couples.

Karen ate some popcorn, well, it tasted good.

Then, Karen naturally held a piece of popcorn and brought it to Eunice's mouth. Eunice ate it without any hesitation.

Karen withdrew her hand,

Suddenly, I thought of the joy of eating popcorn while watching a movie that Ron once said.

But this kind of rough happiness will actually destroy the atmosphere at this time.

After the movie screening, Karen and Eunice walked out of the movie theater together.

The next destination is a restaurant chosen by Karen and it is also nearby. The main cuisine is Luo Jia's local cuisine. The main reason is that the environment is good and it is next to a river.

After sitting down in the restaurant, the waiter gave Eunice the menu first, and Eunice handed it to Karen:

"Come on."

Karen ordered a few items and handed them to the waiter. After the waiter left, Karen whispered:

"In fact, the taste is very ordinary."

Eunice also whispered:

"Actually, I really want to try that... pickled fish dish you made last time."

Too bad that was your grandparents favorite.

The food was brought up quickly, and the two ate while chatting.

Karen can keep the chat atmosphere at a level that makes the other party comfortable, and there will be no silence.

After dinner, it was getting late, so Karen drove Eunice back to Rhine Street and stopped in front of Eunice's house.

Karen got out of the car first, and Eunice got off without waiting for Karen to help her open the door.

Then, the two naturally opened their arms slightly to each other and hugged each other.

"I had a great time today, thank you, Karen."

"I am also very happy."

Calm and quiet, no conflicts, no accidents, no kind of fiery and turbulent, many times, the two seem relatively quiet.

But that's how ordinary people live, isn't it?

The two let go again naturally, and Eunice smiled and said, "I always feel very comfortable when I'm with you."

"me too."

"Then I'll go back first, my mother must be waiting for me."

"I think Madame must be watching us from the drawing-room window right now."

"ah?"

Karen opened her arms again and hugged Eunice gently again.

"Karen, I suddenly feel very nervous."

Karen echoed again: "Me too."

It should be more tense if you're holding that cat.

separated again;

Eunice pushed open the courtyard door and walked inside.

"Hug together?" Mrs. Jenny, who was sitting on the sofa, said with a smile.

"Mom, why don't you turn on the light?"

"I'm afraid that my shadow will be seen by you through the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows, which will affect your hug.

How does it feel, dating my good daughter for a day.

I think this guy must be very good at pleasing girls, and he must have charmed you with sweet words. "

Eunice shook her head,

road:

"I don't think so, I think he's very poised and funny, and when you're with him, it's like being with a dad.

So, Mom, don't be prejudiced against him, although he is really good-looking. "

Mrs. Jenny heard that,

With a deep sigh,

hold your forehead with your hand;

"Mom, are you feeling well?" Eunice stepped forward and asked with concern.

"No, but after my date with your father, I also commented on your father to your grandmother in the same way, calm and funny, with the feeling of a father.

I found out later,

In fact, people like your father are the real masters. "

"But I think, Mom, you are very happy when you are with your father."

"That's right. But, it's okay, it seems that you feel good about your blind date. I was thinking of a way to write a letter to reject your grandfather's arrangement. A serious face."

"So, are our family and his family family friends?"

"Yes, it started with one of your great great great great aunts.

Since her, our family has kept in touch with his family.

Your father met me in Roja when he came to visit Roja from Vern, and he brought me back to Vern. "

"So, his family can be regarded as a matchmaker between mother and father?"

"Daughter, I think you can try to ask him on the next date, and ask him if he would like to follow you back to Wayne like me back then. Your grandpa seems to have this idea."

"I think he is a person with a lot of self, so he should not agree."

Eunice went to the bathroom.

Mrs. Jenny lit a cigarette by herself,

Blow out a puff of smoke,

laughed:

"If he doesn't agree, how can he take the initiative to ask you for a date?"

After sending Eunice home, Karen was also preparing to go back to her own home. As soon as she got into the car, a "Kamen" stopped next to her:

"Karen?"

"Monsieur Piaget."

"Are you here to see me?" Piaget asked with a smile.

"Yes, but you were not at home just now, and I was about to go back."

"But I'm back now."

Karen enters Piaget's house again;

"Are you hungry? I called 'Linda' for dinner?"

"I'm not hungry, I came here after eating, don't bother."

After all, cross-dressing is also tiring.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll make coffee, it'll be ready soon."

"Can you cook?" Karen asked.

Piaget laughed.

road:

"I know what you mean, I will cook, don't worry, it will be really fast."

"OK."

Piaget walked into the kitchen.

Karen saw the easel in the living room, with brushes and paint trays on the floor, and the easel was covered with a white cloth.

Seeing this, Karen couldn't help but think of the religious paintings he saw on the second floor of Piaget's house last time, and the almost amazingly coincidental arrangement.

so,

this painting,

I still don't watch it.

Piaget came out with coffee, saw Karen standing in front of the easel, and said:

"This is the latest work of 'Linda', come, let me show you."

Before Karen could refuse, Piaget lifted the white cloth, and the content of the picture was fully presented.

It can be seen that the surrounding scenery of this painting has not been completed, but the content of the central area has almost been presented.

In the picture is a tall tower,

On the tower stood a man,

Wearing a luxurious white robe inlaid with many precious stones.

The man holds something like a crown in one hand and a scepter in the other.

disheveled,

Facing the sky, he opened his mouth, as if shouting something.

"This is…"

Piaget introduced: "I'm also curious about what the painting 'Linda' is about, so I checked a lot of information these days. In fact, the reason I was not at home before was that I was in the city library all afternoon.

Then, I looked it up.

The person in the painting is the last Pope of the Illuminati Sect, known as the Mad Pope.

He once stood on the tower of the Temple of Light,

shouted a word:

I don't believe that there really is a God of Light in this world.

In the eyes of religious historians, his move is equivalent to ringing the final death knell of the Guangming God Sect. "

Piaget passed the coffee to Karen,

continued:

"so,

I gave this painting a name:

"God's Twilight". "
