Chapter 638 Marshall Manor
"Really? You invite us to Marshall Manor! Bud, are you willing to go together?" Bear showed great interest in Hong Tao's invitation, and he was a little ready to go, as if he was going to explore. Then he asked Bud again, how to say that tone, it was not like an invitation, more like a provocation.
"...I still have the matters of the committee to deal with. Mr. Hong, I will visit you another day." Bud gritted his teeth and actually tolerated Bell's face-to-face provocation. He turned around and nodded to Hong Tao, rode his horse away, ran away, and ran faster than when he came.
"He seems to be very afraid of Marshall Manor, or is it because of the incident seven years ago?" Hong Tao saw that it was not that Bud didn't want to visit his home, but that he didn't want to go to Marshall Manor. The reason was obvious at a glance. He had never seen him before, and there was no hatred. He had no intention of racial discrimination against him, so that was the only tragedy left that year.
"I have to say that you are a very courageous person. I think you must have learned about the history of this manor when you bought it, but you still bought it." Better was even happier when he saw Bud running away in panic. He was considered a winner this time, and the winner should show it to others. Now the only audience is Hong Tao.
"Do you still believe that there are ghosts in the world? Is this house really an evil place in everyone's eyes?" Bei Ye seemed to be a Catholic, and Hong Tao was embarrassed to cheer up. As for ghosts, Hong Tao felt that people like Bei Ye could not treat ghosts as food. There are two types of people who have experienced life and death. One is scared and the other is stronger. Bei Ye obviously does not belong to the former.
"While we walked, it was called Lisa, it was a Scottish warm-blooded horse." Bell did not answer the questions about ghosts, but signaled Hong Tao to leave the horse first, and while walking, he introduced his horse, which said that it was black but not brown but not brown.
The jam pie made by Gloria tasted good, and Bei Ye was very happy to eat it. He is worthy of being a soldier and his meal speed is comparable to Hong Tao. The two of them put down their knives and forks at the same time, and then there was only his speech and Qi Rui's exclamation from time to time in the restaurant.
This guy is also a vernacular person. His interest in pie is obviously not as good as Qi Rui and Diane. Since he met these two women, he has been running the train all over and has basically no time to pay attention to Hong Tao.
Diane was not very interested in Bell, and he was not very famous at this time, but the adventure stories he told were fascinating to Qi Rui. He didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and was nervous while listening. I really didn't realize that she was still so interested in extreme sports.
"That's probably the old house in Marshall Manor. The place where the accident happened has been demolished, but some of the buildings have not moved. It is said that it was the place where Apple White and others held the ceremony."
After finally finishing breakfast, Diane pulled Qi Rui to the supermarket in the town to purchase daily necessities. Only then did Hong Tao have the opportunity to continue inquiring about the situation of the manor, and he had to buy a bottle of whiskey. This was what he found in the underground wine cellar, and there were still a lot of them. Anyway, they didn’t buy it himself, so it was useless not to drink it!
"Apur White, is it the owner of here or the planner of collective suicide?" Hong Tao had only heard of this, but he was not sure who and why he did this.
"This was the manor of a congressman. After the death of the congressman and his wife, they were inherited by the family. Their family was in the east and did not like the environment here, so they rented and gave it to Apple White. His full name was Marshall Apple White. He was from Texas and served in his early years. His father was a pastor."
"I heard from the residents here that Marshall Manor was the most mysterious and lively place in the town at that time. There were people standing guard at the gate, and outsiders were not allowed to enter, but every once in a while, many vehicles from other states would enter, and they stayed in it for a few days and then left."
"But they didn't leave that time, thirty-nine people... Hong, I heard that China also has a mysterious belief. Can you understand what they did?" He held a wine glass and basked in the sun, but there was no warm feeling on the platform on the second floor. Mr. Bei picked up his arms while saying that.
"I will first declare that China does not have this kind of belief, and I am an atheist. Why don't they demolish those houses? Wouldn't that be eradicated?"
Hong Tao is most annoying to others about the topic of faith with him, especially to rely on religion to avoid talking about it. Because when you think of people like Sun God Sect and Ouyang Qing, no belief is meaningless.
"I hadn't bought a property in the town at that time, and I didn't actually live here normally. But I heard that it seemed that the committee and the former owner had a little unpleasant construction, so the manor was only half renovated and the other half was preserved." After talking for a long time, Betty was not a local household. He also heard about the situation of Marshall Manor.
"My family will live here in the future. Will they be discriminated against or alienated by others because of this house?" Hong Tao wanted to ask this question the most. Don't think that everyone in the town will regard Zhang Yuanyuan and his daughter as monsters, then this manor will be too scammed.
"No, everyone knows what happened back then, and so many years have passed. Except for the price of this manor, the people in the town have no other ideas. Tiago is a good repairman, and many families will ask him for help, and the neighbors here are still very friendly."
"There will be a horse racing in the town the day after tomorrow, and you will be able to meet most of the neighbors. OK, thank you for your hospitality and Gloria's pie. I'm going to continue running two laps with Lisa."
"You are also welcome to visit my house. My house is two streets north of you, and my surname is on the gate of the courtyard." It seems that Mr. Bei is about the same temper as Hong Tao, and he is not interested in having sex with a man. He said goodbye after drinking half a glass of wine.
After seeing off Bey, Hong Tao began to wander around the house. Except for Gloria and Tiago's rooms, almost every house had to go in and check it out, and kept making a break until Diane and Qi Rui came back. The conclusion was that many rooms had never been lived in, and they were indeed new, and they were cleaned and cleaned well, and the quality of the house was also good, but the only thing missing was popularity.
Diane had a holiday for Gloria for lunch. She and Qi Rui bought a lot of ingredients and planned to change their taste. Diane is the head stove, Hong Tao is the second stove, and Qi Rui is a mess. One Western food and the other Chinese food made a meal that combines Chinese and Western food.
As for the taste, Gloria and Tiago kept nodding, and they really ate quite a bit. It seemed that they were very satisfied. Hong Tao felt that it was just that, and he forgot after eating it. Obviously, there was nothing outstanding.
After sleeping all day, Hong Tao was in high spirits and planned to drive out. There was a half-old Ford in the garage, which was purchased by Tiyago, and he was willing to lend it to himself. However, he didn't have an international driver's license. After thinking about it, he would just forget it. Don't stay in the US police station for two days before you see someone from Blizzard.
"I bought tennis equipment and came back. If you can play tennis with me, I will take you to the supermarket in the town. There are fishing equipment in it, and it seems that there is a fishing license."
Diane has an international driver's license and can drive in the United States, but she has the conditions and has to let Hong Tao play with her for enough. Qi Rui should not expect that. She is cleaning up the swimming pool with Gloria, planning to put it in water and then sunbathe it is a standard fujoshi.
But this tennis match that was destined to be abused by Diane was disrupted by a phone call at the beginning. As soon as the two of them finished warming up, Qi Rui jumped over in a bikini and told Hong Tao that it was not good or bad.
Ms. Feng returned to Boston because of something important and could not come here in the past few days. The original plan would be modified, either stay here for a few more days or go to Blizzard first, and she would ask the driver to come.
"You'd better contact Blizzard, just say we'll be here tomorrow. It's not far from Irvine. Ruirui, go call and rent a bigger car and we'll drive it ourselves." Hong Tao didn't want to delay here too much. There were still a lot of things at home. Even if it's good, it's not safe.
