Chapter 57: Barney's Horse Is Dead(1/2)
The next morning.
Chen Lun left the small manor without breakfast.
——Because the food I hadn’t digested last night.
“It feels pretty good to go to work in a carriage.”
Chen Lun sighed in the carriage.
The roads in the inner city are paved very flat and do not bump, and they feel much better than before when riding in a carriage.
Soon the carriage arrived at the entrance of Pompeii Manor.
Chen Lun ordered the coachman and asked him to come here to wait in the evening.
The coachman nodded, bowed and then drove away in the carriage.
There was a maid at the door who had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Chen Lun get off the carriage, she opened the door a little distance for him to enter.
The door was too heavy, and it was a bit difficult for the maid to open it all.
"Mr. Jack, Viscount Pompeii is having breakfast. He said if you come early, you can go with him."
Walking to the door of the villa, Binoz said to Chen Lun.
"No need, I've eaten it. Thank you for your kindness to me, Mr. Viscount, Mr. Binoz."
Chen Lun nodded and replied politely.
"Then please wait in the living room for a while. Miss Rebecca's natural lesson will begin at ten o'clock."
Binoz led Chen Lun to sit on the sofa in the living room, then said hello and left.
Seeing the old butler's back disappearing from the corner of the living room, Chen Lunba looked at the environment here boredly.
There are many framed paintings hanging on the walls, most of which are oil paintings.
I don’t know if it is because of people from this era or because of Viscount Pompeii’s own preferences.
Just after nine o'clock, Chen Lun heard a rapid sound of wheels rolling.
Rebecca pushed the wheelchair alone and came to him.
"Huh...good morning! Mr. Jack!"
She looked very excited, and she seemed to have dressed up deliberately, which looked better than yesterday.
"Good morning, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun stood up, took off his hat and prepared to bow.
But he saw Rebecca take off his white lace gloves first and hand over his hand.
He was slightly stunned, and then he saw Rebecca blushing and looking at him expectantly.
"You're pretty today, but this outfit may not be suitable for my nature lesson."
Chen Lun took Rebecca's little hand and kissed her on the back of her fingers.
Rebecca didn't hear him at all.
He kissed me!
Did he smell the perfume I deliberately sprayed on my hand today?
Would it be too pungent?
"Ahem!"
Mrs. Pompeii coughed twice and walked towards her strode.
"Good morning, Madame Pompeii."
"Good morning, Mr. Jack."
After greeting each other friendly, Mrs. Pompeii said to Chen Lun:
"When Rebecca heard your arrival, he didn't finish his breakfast and ran over in his wheelchair."
As he said that, he narrowed his eyes and glared at Rebecca.
Rebecca was not afraid, but glared back.
"Ah, I'm really sorry. It seems that Miss Rebecca is too eager to study."
Chen Lun pretended to apologize, with a embarrassed expression on his face.
"So that's the case, can we start today's class?"
"Uh-huh!"
Rebecca nodded, regardless of her mother's staring at her side, and pushed the wheelchair and ran out.
Seeing this, the old housekeeper Binoz hurriedly followed, worried that she would trip over the steps when she went out.
Ten minutes later.
Chen Lun sat on a chair under the parasol and told Rebecca some of his views on nature.
To be honest, he is actually very touched by this aspect.
Whether it is the experience of a person exploring a map in the past or the understanding after becoming a [Beast Trainer].
"...Animals are an indispensable part of nature, look at this snake."
He pointed to a poisonous snake on the table and talked freely.
Rebecca had long been so scared that her face was pale, she hugged on the chair and did not dare to move.
The green scales were shiny in the sun, and the tiny body was wrapped in balls, and he raised his little head and stared at her.
"It...it's staring at me!"
Rebecca said in a trembling voice.
"Oh no, this is just a fake snake, I said, just a prop."
Chen Lun grabbed the poisonous snake and put it in his palm.
"Look, it won't bite. Don't be afraid, Miss Rebecca, come and feel it."
"ah!"
Chen Lun grabbed Rebecca's hand and gently placed it on the poisonous snake.
Cool and textured.
Rebecca slowly opened her eyes, and a surprised expression gradually appeared on her face.
"It's true...but it looks so realistic, so magical."
Viscount Pompeii, not far away, looked at his wife beside him with uncertain confidence.
"Is that really a fake snake?"
"Yes, Binoz has checked it."
Mrs. Pompeii explained.
"And Mr. Jack is a scholar, not a lunatic, and no one will put a poisonous snake in his pocket."
As she said, she focused on Chen Lun again.
This brunette young man has a charm during his lectures, and it’s no wonder his daughter Rebecca likes him.
Chen Lun talked about each part of the poisonous snake, as well as its habits and origins one by one.
Rebecca showed a look of sudden and admiration.
She had never taught a class so seriously. Although she didn't like this knowledge, she kept it in her heart after she spoke it from Chen Lun.
But what she didn't see was that when Chen Lun put the "fake snake" in his pocket without any trace, it "accidentally" fell on the lawn.
It fell into the green ocean like a drop of green water and disappeared without a trace.
This scene was also not noticed by Binoz and the Viscount Pompeii.
"Let it check the situation in the backyard first..."
Chen Lun thought to himself.
"Hey! Be careful!!"
Everyone suddenly heard a loud shout.
Chen Lun looked up and a brown horse rushed out of the other end of the garden.
It ran hard, rushing around, followed by a male servant who was chasing him desperately.
"ah!!"
Rebecca screamed.
The Viscountess Pompeii and the Butler of Binos were both shocked.
