On the deck, the sea breeze blew, blowing Ruolin's long hair.
Neither Fang Ming nor Ruolin spoke. The entire deck was very quiet, with only the sound of the sea breeze and the waves stirred by the ship.
"Actually, I graduated with a major in foreign languages. Although I majored in foreign languages from a junior college, my English has reached the level of a junior college student." Ruolin looked at Fang Ming and suddenly spoke.
Fang Ming didn't answer because he didn't know why Ruolin suddenly told him this.
"I originally thought that I could find a good job with my English skills, but in the end I found that I was overthinking it."
Ruolin had a self-deprecating smile on her face. After graduation, she submitted her resume to many large companies in need of foreign language talents, but without exception, nothing came of it, because for these large companies, they wanted fresh graduates from prestigious universities.
graduate.
Later, Ruolin lowered her requirements and submitted her resume to some small companies. Indeed, many small companies accepted her. However, as a foreign language talent, she found that she mostly accompanied some bosses to receive foreign customers.
Accompanying the boss to socialize.
A young and beautiful girl accompanied her boss to receive and socialize. She was not experienced in the world and eventually became the prey in the eyes of the boss. She was possessed by the boss after drinking too much.
Ruolin was desperate at that moment. She thought about calling the police, but as a girl wandering alone in other places, what would happen even if she called the police? Can she still stay in this city from now on?
What's more, she was just a recent graduate, and she finally gave in under the intimidation of her boss.
"Of course, I also know that a big reason for this is money. He gave me a lot of money and allowed me to see what a rich person's life is like. I go to five-star hotels, get in the car and have someone give me a hand.
You open the door, get out of the car, and someone will hold an umbrella for you to block the sun. I admit that I am obsessed with this kind of life."
Fang Ming fell silent after hearing Ruolin's words. In fact, Ruolin's psychology represents the psychology of some women in today's society.
Aren't these pretty girls not clean and self-sufficient at first? But when they saw the charm of money in this society and got used to living a rich life, they began to gradually lose themselves.
"Actually, the real reason why I came to Xiangjiang was because I couldn't stay in China anymore. His wife was very powerful. She was the daughter of a big family. After being hired by him for two years, his wife found out about my relationship with him.
Relationship, if I didn’t run away, his wife would find someone to beat me to death.”
Ruolin shook her hair, "This is the consequence of being a mistress. I have been mentally prepared for it, but I am not at a loss. I have saved millions in the past two years and went to Xiangjiang to start my life again.
"
Fang Ming didn't know what to say, should he criticize Ruolin?
He is not a moral saint. It can only be said that this society is deformed, and Ruolin is just a microcosm of this society. In a materialistic society, there are too many such microcosms.
…
Ten minutes later, Alice returned to the deck, holding a parchment in her little hand, which was filled with English and some special symbols.
Ruolin stared at the parchment for a long time, and finally said to Fang Ming with a wry smile: "Mr. Fang, although everything here is in English, some of them seem to be very ancient characters that even I don't recognize. I can only
Understand the first half."
"Give me a rough idea."
Fang Ming knew in his heart that an ancient race like the Vampire Clan, which has been passed down for a long time, must have its own internal text, and it was already pretty good to be able to understand half of it.
"This ancient scroll explains why the little girl appeared here. It turned out that there was indeed an old man beside the little girl, and this old man came with the British when they entered Hong Kong. Wasn't Hong Kong under the jurisdiction of the British for a period of time?
."
Nearly two hundred years ago, the British moved into Xiangjiang and turned Xiangjiang into a colony. At that time, the Queen of England arranged for many British people to settle in Xiangjiang. Among them was the old man next to the little girl.
The old man is a marquis in the Vampire Clan. In fact, although the Vampire Clan does not appear in the eyes of ordinary people, it has always maintained a certain relationship with the British royal family. Although Xiangjiang became a colony at that time, Xiangjiang also had a practice
the existence of the person.
Therefore, both vampires and priests came. The British army was to deal with the army in Xiangjiang, and the priests and vampires were to deal with the cultivators in Xiangjiang. After a great battle between the two sides, the Eastern cultivators were finally defeated and withdrew from Xiangjiang.
After driving away the Eastern cultivators, internal fighting began between the priests and the vampires. Initially, the two sides were equally powerful, but not long after, the priests secretly sent an archbishop to arrive.
In the Western Church, the strength of the archbishop is equivalent to that of the Duke of the Vampire Clan. The Marquis of the Vampire Clan was no match for him, and finally fled with the little girl to the sea. However, the priests also chased them here, and finally sealed the sea area directly.
Lived.
The old Marquis of the Vampire Clan could not leave this sea area, and because the Vampire Clan could not live without blood, this sea area became the Devil's Sea. All the ships and crews that sailed here had their blood sucked out by the old Marquis.
But even the vampires are not immortal. The old Marquis left two years ago, and the little girl was the only one left in the entire sea.
The little girl’s full name is not Flanders Alice, but Vlad Zebies Alice.
This is the part that Ruolin can understand, but some of the content at the back of the parchment is too profound and cannot be understood by Ruolin.
"That is to say, all the people in the past were killed by the old vampire, but this little girl did not kill anyone in the past two years, because in these two years, only the ship with the missing dog sailed into the devil's sea.
"
Fang Ming suddenly understood why Alice was so thirsty for blood.
The vampires cannot live without blood. The lost dog only travels three to five times a year at most. Two buckets of blood each time are simply not enough for Alice. The last time the lost dog came here was three months ago.
forward.
Unlike the old Marquis of the Blood Tribe, Alice's mind is actually that of a little girl of several years old. She just wants to get blood, and in her knowledge, those jewelry and seafood are what she trades with Fang Ming.
, so when Fang Ming refused to accept it, Alice felt very aggrieved, but hunger made her unwilling to give up, so she secretly came to the deck just to steal the blood.
Fang Ming looked at Alice, but he was a little confused about how to deal with Alice.
Logically speaking, Alice's appearance here is considered to be over the limit. He can kill the other party, but facing a little girl with a mind of only three or four years old, he can't do this, not to mention that Alice has never harmed anyone.
But if you just let Alice go, even if Alice doesn't hurt anyone now, as she grows up, her need for blood will increase, and in the end she will still follow the path of the old vampire Marquis.
It doesn't matter if you let it go, and it doesn't matter if you don't let it go. This is why Fang Ming is in trouble.
"Mr. Fang, although I don't know why a capable person like you would sneak across the border, Mr. Fang, you don't want to reveal your identity. And I read the content on this parchment. Alice's ancestors were British aristocrats.
, even now you still have property in the UK, if you want to go abroad, Mr. Fang, you might as well take Alice with you."
Ruolin spoke at this time. It was obvious that she had guessed Fang Ming's thoughts, and she also knew that since a capable person like Fang Ming chose to sneak across the country, he was obviously in trouble, and it should be big.
trouble.
Fang Ming glanced at Ruolin with some surprise. She was really a smart woman. A beautiful and perceptive woman, she was indeed the first choice of many rich people.
Because Ruolin spoke very measuredly, she did not ask herself why she wanted to cross the border illegally, but directly gave herself some reference advice. Not everyone could think of this alone.
"I think it would be good for Mr. Fang to have an identity if he wants to go abroad. And according to my understanding of the British side, every noble will have a steward and lawyer who are responsible for managing property. Even if a hundred years have passed, these
There will still be property, and there will probably be more and more."
"Of course, if an heir is found later, the steward and lawyer will charge fees based on the management time limit and amount, which can reach up to 50%."
Fang Ming understood what Ruolin meant, and took Alice to England to inherit her ancestor's property, and he himself could rely on this to stay in England.
"Let's do it this way."
In the end, Fang Ming agreed, because he really had no intention of staying in Xiangjiang, but was just using Xiangjiang as a springboard. As for which country he would go to, he had not decided yet, but the United Kingdom was also a good choice.
In addition, because of Alice, he can also deal with the vampires. He is also very interested in this very ancient ethnic group on the earth.
"Ask her if she is willing to follow me until she returns to her home."
Ruolin said Fang Ming's words to Alice in English. Alice stared at Fang Ming with her pure little eyes. After a while, she stretched out her hand and suddenly scooped up a handful of blood from the iron bucket and handed it to Fang Ming.
"Uh...Mr. Fang, Alice is showing you her affection."
Without Ruolin's explanation, Fang Ming also knew what Alice's action meant. In Alice's eyes, this was her food. Children are generally more protective of their food and would only be willing to share food with those they like or are close to.
Except for the old Marquis, Alice has never had any contact with other outsiders, so in her heart, she believes that blood is the most delicious food, and everyone sucks blood just like her.
The reason why she hid behind the iron bucket before was just because she felt afraid that she would be caught eating secretly. She did not think there was anything wrong with sucking blood.
