For example, finding a considerable amount of shillings in clothes that have not been worn for a long time.
For example, accidentally meeting an old friend on the street who has long lost contact.
For example, Lu Li suddenly proposed to go to Simpu Park.
Although he has ulterior motives.
The only thing that made Anna a little uncomfortable was that the guy with almost the same name as her was also coming.
"My name seems to be easily confused with Miss Anna, haha... Then you should call me Qiaoqiao from now on." In the carriage compartment, Joanna scratched the back of her head and laughed.
Her cheerful, somewhat sweet appearance was incompatible with her freckles.
"Okay Jojo."
Anna was in a better mood this time.
The rain outside has become a bit heavy.
The sky was dark and gloomy, as if something ominous was about to happen.
The accumulated water flowed from under the eaves, gathered on the bluestone road, and formed a stream flowing downstream. The number of pedestrians on the road became sparse, and occasionally pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages passing by wearing umbrellas and raincoats, as well as a few children who were not afraid of the rain, cheered.
ran by.
"I heard that all the lights near the municipal government were shut down due to the rain. Fortunately, they left some gas lights, otherwise I don't know how the homeless people would have spent the night." Qiao Qiao lamented.
Perhaps due to her origin as an orphan, she has great sympathy for these people who were once like her.
Anna sat next to Lu Li, holding her chin and listening quietly.
"They should worry more about not getting wet and getting sick."
The cool wind blew into the car. Lu Li looked at the hazy harbor in the rain and replied.
"Yes..." Qiaoqiao suddenly nodded, hugging his knees, and fell into the memories of a long time ago. "When my brother and I were young, the world was not as dangerous as it is now. When it rained, we could hide under the eaves of neighbors or in the sewers to take shelter.
Our biggest wish at that time was to own a house of our own, without the hateful vampire-like landlord and the police officers who drove us away..."
Qiao Qiao talked a lot and seemed to want to introduce Lu Li to the customs and customs of Belfast.
Of course, it might just be because of the chatter.
Looking at the sky in the distance, I heard Qiao Qiao recalling in a low voice, the carriage shook slightly, and the atmosphere became peaceful and quiet for a while.
But at a certain moment, Lu Li looked closer. Lu Li noticed that some water tanks had been moved to the street or balconies to store rainwater.
Belfast is offshore, has a long rainy season, and there is an agate lake on the top of the mountain. In addition, as a commercial city, it focuses on enjoying the resources of the Principality of Ellen Peninsula, so you can buy daily water very cheaply.
Water in Belfast does not have a set amount, but is charged by container, with one shilling per container. That is, a glass of water is one shilling, a jug of water is one shilling, and a bucket of water is also one shilling.
Naturally, the larger the container, the better - but it still costs money.
There is a saying in the Allen Peninsula: Free things come with free benefits.
It means free stuff, and its benefits are also free.
Just like the rainy season that people both love and hate.
At this time, residents who are living in difficulty will use rainwater as drinking water, while those who are better off will use it for bathing and washing clothes.
In normal times, most residents will go to the beach to solve these problems. Although a layer of salt crust is a bit uncomfortable, it is better than being dirty. And after washing, the effect will not be much worse after wiping with a towel dipped in clean water.
These are the things residents would do before the disaster comes at night.
With the advent of disasters, the ocean has become more and more dangerous, and most residents no longer go to the beach to wash or play.
Lu Li watched for a while, and saw that the bluestone road was replaced by a bumpy cobblestone road. The roadside was no longer lined with houses, but became empty, bare and ugly, with dead woods.
After days of rain, green shoots finally appeared on the dead trees along the road, but the vegetation was still missing.
"Are we almost there?" Anna sat up slightly, leaned forward to Lu Li, and leaned towards the window to look around.
"Sir, Miss, Simpe Park has arrived."
The groom's voice came in from outside the curtain at the right time.
The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.
Lu Li opened the corner of the car curtain and saw that the white cobblestone road was winding through the dead woods under the rain. A low building was located in front of it, which was the goal of their trip.
Wow——
The wheels rolled through the water on the ground, and a yellow carriage with peeling paint stopped outside the building.
Lu Li took out two umbrellas and handed one to Qiao Qiao.
"I want it too." Anna in the back seat leaned forward and waved her hand.
"You want the grooms and staff to see an umbrella floating alone in the sky?"
"Well...that's considered provoking."
The tip of the umbrella poked out of the car curtain, followed by the umbrella body. The umbrella opened with a soft "bang" sound, raindrops fell, and the umbrella surface trembled.
Lu Li stepped out of the carriage and stepped into a thin layer of stagnant water. Looking around, the line of rain covered the entire world, leaving only a small piece of pure land under the umbrella.
Bang.
There was a soft sound behind her, and Qiao Qiao got out of the car, opened her umbrella, stretched out an arm, and waited for Lu Li to help her out of the car.
But Qiao Qiao realized that Lu Li was just looking at his surroundings, completely ignoring what was behind him. He shrugged helplessly, jumped out of the carriage, and splashed a small splash of water.
Lu Li looked away at this moment and said to the groom wearing a raincoat: "If there is no business, you can wait for us here. We will come out after a while."
"Okay, I wish you two a good time," the groom said with a smile.
"There are three of them." Anna murmured quietly, floated down from the carriage, and got under Lu Li's umbrella.
Although it was a little confusing that ghosts could take shelter from the rain, Lu Li still tilted the umbrella towards Anna. This exposed Lu Li's left shoulder outside the umbrella, and he didn't care if the rain wet his shoulders.
Two people and one ghost walked towards the door of the haunted house
There was no one at the front door of the haunted house, and the ticket office window was closed. The ticket seller inside lowered his head, holding a novel and relishing it, and no one was found standing outside.
Knock knock knock——
The knock on the window alerted the ticket salesperson. She put down her phone in panic, stood up, and pushed open the window.
The cold wind poured into the small ticket room, and the coldness caused her to subconsciously stop breathing, and said with difficulty: "...Hello?"
"Is it open today?" Lu Li asked.
"Well, it's still open, but because of the rain, some scenes may leak. Currently, a small number of scenes are closed. Do you want to come back another day...?"
"Will it affect the game?"
"ah?"
“Will fewer scenes reduce the number of ghost sightings?”
"Uh... no."
"Okay, we're going in."
"Okay, it's 8 shillings per person and 20 shillings for two."
"It sounds like it's more cost-effective to have more than one person." Anna nodded in confusion.
Lu Li looked sideways.
"Ah, no, I'm sorry I made the mistake of saying it was 20 yuan for three people." The ticket seller hurriedly changed his words, with a look of embarrassment on his face. "How many people do you have?"
Lu Li said calmly: "Have you seen our other friends?"
The ticket salesperson was slightly startled: "No..."
Lu Li nodded and said no more.
"...?"
The ticket salesperson was confused for a while, then suddenly realized and prepared tickets for Lu Li with a red face.
