Kudo Yukiko turned to look at Ikegana, her eyes full of emotion, and said with a smile, "Xiao Chi is a very kind person."
Chikana smiled and nodded, continuing to look at the people in the room with soft eyes.
Her family, Fei Chi, is the kindest and there is nothing wrong with her!
Ike Shinnosuke: "..."
His son is sometimes very kind, but sometimes...
There are some things that he doesn't dare to tell anyone, and he doesn't know why his wife can nod her head with peace of mind. Maybe this is because children are always kind in the eyes of mothers?
Anyway, he could only cover up his speechlessness with a cold face.
Haiyuan Ai didn't feel anything was wrong.
Although her family member Fei Chi is from that organization, he is really a nice person...
…
When the sky was illuminated by the setting sun, the operation in the room ended.
The fawn soon woke up from anesthesia, and the family actively offered to help take care of the deer if they did not leave. They also rejected Ikeana's offer to pay for the care.
A group of people declined the family's dinner invitation and did not stay to dine.
After all... there are too many people.
Moreover, the Field family's original residence is just outside the town, and it only takes less than half an hour to drive there.
Chi Feichi agreed with the family to check on the situation tomorrow. Before going out, he patted the deer on the back and whispered a few words to let the group of elk expect to be here.
After sitting in the car again, the women continued to chat. The topics ranged from the injured elk, the surgery that Chi Feichi had just completed, to the situation in the town and trivial matters in life. There seemed to be endless things to talk about, but each of them lowered their voices.
, intending to let Chi Feichi take a rest.
Chi Feichi sat in his seat and listened.
Although he didn't feel tired, and the operation just now was easier than most operations in the shelter, but compared to the previous chattering situation in the car, it would be nice to be a little quieter now.
Hearing Koshimizu Nanatsuki talk about the interesting story of Ike Feichi, Feichi, and Wuming taking a nap under the tree, Ikekana was startled, "Did you... plant elder trees in the yard?"
"Because Mr. Chi likes it very much..." Koshizui Nanatsuki saw something wrong with Ikekana's expression, and asked hesitantly, "What, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Ikegana shook his head and put on a smile again, but there was only a complex look in his eyes, "I just think it's a coincidence that there are a lot of elder trees planted at the old site of Field's house, because... I
My brother Mitchell also likes elderberries very much. When he has free time, he will sit on the bench under the tree and lose his mind, staying there for most of the day."
"Brother?" Kudo Yukiko was a little surprised, "Kana, I thought you were an only child..."
"He has passed away. He committed suicide." Ikegana looked out the car window and looked at the looming castle building from a distance. "When he was twenty years old, he allowed himself to stay there forever."
Kudo Yukiko was stunned and quickly apologized softly, "Sorry, I didn't know..."
Koshizui Nanatsuki suddenly remembered that Chi Feichi had said that his mental illness might be hereditary, but when he saw that the gentle smile in Ikeana's eyes had disappeared and she was filled with loneliness, she felt unbearable and did not ask or mention it again.
.
Hui Yuan Ai sighed inwardly, thankful that it was Chi Feichi who told her about the Field family's past a few days ago.
Her godmother really cared about what happened in the past.
In other words, if your brothers die one by one, no one will care about them.
If her godmother mentioned these things to her, just by the look on her face, she would definitely not be able to bear to let her godmother talk any more.
"It doesn't matter, I was still a child at that time, and it's been more than thirty years now. I should have let go a long time ago," Ikekana smiled at Kudo Yukiko, looked at the building again, and said softly, "Maybe it's time to return to
This old place makes it easy for me to miss my childhood days."
The afterglow of the setting sun sinks little by little.
The town is built on a small hill. The castle-like building at the end is at the highest point. The overall slope is gentle, and with the cover of woods, there is no hint of steepness at all. But if you look up in the town, you can see through it.
tree branches, see gothic towers and facades.
The stone on the exterior wall is white in color, and some windows are illuminated. However, due to its ancient style and large area, the castle still looks like a giant beast lying on the ground. In the dim night, it seems to reveal
A little mysterious and solemn.
"Uncle Mitchell likes elderberries, probably because he has been to Jiangshenyuan, where a family named Montgomery planted an elderberry tree. My grandfather, grandmother and Uncle Mitchell went to her house.
My grandmother also donated a dock to Jiang Shenyuan." Chi Feichi looked at the old castle, took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out the photo inside, and handed it to Chi Kanai, "This is what I did in Jiang Shenyuan.
Photos found in the historical celebrity records of Kanbaru Hotel. Some time ago, I went to Egamihara for business. I heard that my grandfather and others visited Egamihara, so I asked the person who ran the hotel to give me the original photo. I originally
I just wanted to show you this photo, but I was busy with other things, so I never had time to tell you."
He was not sure whether Mitchell really liked elderberries, but Mitchell would sit under the tree and become distracted, which made him suspect that it was because Mitchell had felt the existence of his soul and had been wondering whether there would be anything after death.
Existing as a soul...
I hope Mitchell's suicide has nothing to do with this.
Originally, he had to make arrangements as soon as Jane was done with his work, and he shouldn't leave London. The reason why he came here at this juncture was that in addition to being monitored by Kudo Yusaku in London, it would be more troublesome than being monitored by Kudo Yukiko.
In addition, he also wanted to visit Field Castle and try to explore the secrets of the Field family that had been buried in the past years.
The Field family seemed to be inextricably linked to the organization, and he also wanted to try to find clues related to the organization.
Of course, he was looking for clues, and he didn't want to suddenly discover that Mitchell committed suicide because he had felt the existence of the soul and believed that people could continue to exist in the world after death.
In that case, wouldn't he be equivalent to indirectly killing his own third uncle...
Ikegana took the photo, looked down at the three faces on it, and sighed softly, "I didn't even know about this... Your grandmother looked so young at that time, and Mitchell was still a little kid, so...
I think he looks a little dull."
Chi Feichi: "..."
Is that stupidity? Are you sure it's not a look of indifference?
Ike Shinnosuke glanced sideways and remained silent.
He is not quite like the ‘cheerful and optimistic’ third brother-in-law that his wife calls him.
Kudo Yukiko looked at Chi Feichi, then looked at Mitchell in the photo, and deliberately said in a light tone, "Except for the color of the pupils, Xiao Chi's eyes are almost carved from the same mold as Mr. Shinnosuke. I also
I was thinking about who his nose and brow bones resemble, but Kana's eyebrows are obviously much softer. Now it seems that he should look like his uncle. It turns out that the saying that the child may look like his uncle is true..."
"Fei Chi's facial features have not yet developed when he was a child, and he is indeed very similar to Mitchell when he was a child." Ikegana was led to look at his son's face and nodded, "There will be some similarities when he grows up."
Ike Shinnosuke and Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the photo and silently nodded in approval.
They had seen the little ghost Tou Chi Fei Chi, who looked more like him.
Huiyuan Ai looked at Chi Feichi.
This trip was a good one, as I unexpectedly found out what my brother looked like when he was a child.
When Chi Fei saw that the atmosphere was relaxing, he accepted the fact that he had become a tool to ease the atmosphere and was being watched.
Chi Kana looked down at the photo again and handed the photo back to Chi Feichi, "Feichi, since you found this photo, you should keep it. After many years, you went to Jiangshenyuan and found their photo.
, maybe this is an inexplicable fate.”
Chi Fei used his left eye to scan the photo into the Ark and store it sooner or later. He originally wanted to give the photo to Chi Kanai, but after hearing Chi Kanai mention "fate", he still reached out and took the photo.
Among his four uncles, Mitchell was indeed destined to be with him.
…
The convoy drove out of the town and drove along the winding road on a gentle slope for four or five minutes before entering a flat and open area.
The grass on both sides of the road has become flat, and green leafy shrubs and flowers are planted in specific plans and trimmed to different heights to create an exquisite and beautiful garden scenery.
After the car turned the corner, one side of the road was an elderberry forest standing on the side of the castle. There were also benches designed to enjoy the shade on the roadside. On the other side was a round pond built among the grass.
The round pool is more than ten meters in diameter. It is surrounded by polished and rounded stones. At intervals, there are lion-head statues half a man tall. The lion heads face the center of the round pool. The fangs in the slightly opened mouth are clearly visible.
The gushing water column drew an arc in the air and fell into the pool.
In front of the castle, modern searchlights are bright, which not only illuminates the road, but also reflects the water surface of the round pond like a constantly fluctuating mirror.
Lydia, who rushed to the castle in the morning, led a group of people and stood at the door, watching the motorcade stop. After everyone got off the car, she and an old British man calmly took the lead in saluting, and led the people forward together.
Ikeana saw the seven-tsuki crossing the water, and Haibara Ai looked at the lion head statue spewing water, and explained aloud, "This place was rebuilt when my mother was alive. The middle of the pool was left empty, and the lion's head was used to fill the water. It was relatively small.
Simple."
Seven months across the water, Haihara Ai: "..."
There is nothing in the middle of such a large pool, so it seems a bit empty, but no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't have anything to do with simplicity, right?
"But this is not bad. During the day, when the weather is clear, the sky and clouds will be reflected on the surface of the pool, which looks very beautiful." Ikegana said with a slight smile, "You can come out and take a look tomorrow morning. The courtyard at that time will be
most beautiful."
Koshizui Nanatsuki glanced around and said with emotion, "I can probably imagine it."
Chi Feichi turned around and looked at the elder forest on the side of the castle.
That's what he said, but he would like to see the elderberry forest tomorrow...
When Kudo Yukiko saw Haibara Ai's reaction, she knew that there would be no organized people here, but she still looked at the group of servants who came closer.
Lydia arrived next to Ikegana, looked at the guests looking around in front of other cars, and said in a low voice, "The arrival time is more than an hour later than you expected."
"Sorry," Chikana said softly, "I encountered a little accident on the way."
"I think so, but dinner has been prepared a long time ago. Food that can be kept warm is being kept warm. Keeping food warm will affect the taste. I have arranged for everyone to eat it for dinner," Lydia whispered, "Fortunately, the ingredients
It's been prepared. It will take about an hour for dinner to be ready. I'll arrange for everyone's luggage to be delivered to the room first. You have to make the hungry guests wait a little longer."
