"Brother Tony, my mother taught me how to make this." Elise came in with a plate, put it on the table happily and said, "How do you like it?"
It was a vegetarian dish, made from beans and tomatoes, with a few green cabbage shreds as decoration on it. If it were in a restaurant, it would definitely look good.
Picking up the fork, Lin Zichen picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. A light taste of olive oil bloomed on his taste buds.
"Brother Tony, how are you?" Elise looked at Lin Zichen cautiously and asked.
"Elise, I didn't expect you to have such skills." Lin Zichen smiled and said to Elise: "It's delicious. I'm afraid ordinary hotels can't compare with it."
Grandma Aina also took a bite at this time, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Elise's craftsmanship is much better than my mother-in-law's craftsmanship."
"Grandma Aina, I only know this one dish." Elise said with a slightly red face: "In terms of cooking skills, I can't compare to Grandma Aina."
Lin Zichen couldn't agree more with Elise's words. He was eating the sandwich on the plate, and he did a really good job.
"Haha, I'm old. I can only cook some simple dishes." Grandma Aina smiled slightly and said, "When Moore and I were together, I often cooked for him."
"Grandma Aina, is Moore your husband?" After hearing what Grandma Aina said, Elise asked quickly.
"Yes, Moore is my husband, but he has been dead for five years." As she said that, Granny Aina looked at the photos next to the sofa. There were photos of Granny Aina and an old man. It looked like that
The old man is Moore.
"Moore and I fell in love at first sight, and his advantages deeply attracted me." As she said this, Granny Aina looked at Elise and said with a smile, "He is as handsome as your boyfriend."
Elise blushed when she heard this, but surprisingly she didn't refute. Lin Zichen also smiled slightly after hearing this. He knew that old people like Granny Aina like to talk to young people about their past life.
In this way, Lin Zichen was eating aside, while Elise listened carefully to the love story of Granny Aina and her husband Moore.
When she heard that the Moores moved to this island to spend their remaining years together when they were in their fifties, Elise had an expression of envy on her pretty face.
She also wants to be like the Moores, living here with the person she wants to love, without being affected by anything outside.
"Grandma Aina, there must be many interesting places on this island, right?" After Granny Aina finished telling what happened, Elise couldn't help but ask. Because Aina was telling Elise
In her story about that year, she mentioned some things about this island, which intrigued Elise very much.
"Of course." Aina said with a kind smile: "There is a large forest in the east of the island. There are many interesting things there, even wild boars."
"Wild boar!" Elise exclaimed. She had only seen wild boars on TV and had never really come into contact with one.
"Yes, we also hunted wild boars in the forest, and Moore left a photo at that time, right next to the bedside in your room." Aina said with a slight smile.
"Brother Tony, I want to go there too!" Elise looked at Lin Zichen with bright eyes and said, "How about we go there tomorrow?"
Seeing Elise's excited look, Lin Zichen was speechless for a while. Ever since she came to this island, Elise seemed to have released herself. She only wanted to have fun and not think about other things, as if she had tears in her eyes yesterday.
Not like her.
However, Lin Zichen was relieved to see Elise put aside those worries. He brought Elise out to relax her and divert her attention. Lin Zichen wanted to see Elise put aside those worries.
of.
"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow." Lin Zichen smiled and agreed to Elise's request.
"I'm afraid I've disappointed you." At this moment, Aina's voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
Elise was stunned when she heard this, and then asked anxiously: "Grandma Aina, what's going on there?"
"That forest was blocked ten years ago and no one is allowed to enter." Aina had regret on her face. After all, there were her and Moore's managers there, but now it was blocked and she couldn't even go in to take a look.
"Blocked? Why!" Elise asked quickly. She still wanted to go to the forest and have a good look.
"It was an order from the police station, saying that a ferocious beast appeared inside." Aina thought for a while and then said.
"Beast? Wouldn't it be better to hunt it down?" Lin Zichen was stunned when he heard this, and then said.
"In the past, some people ignored warnings and broke into the forest without permission, but in the end they never came out again." Aina sighed and said, "Every year, tourists ignore warnings and go into the forest, but they all die there in the end. Gradually,
Yes, no one will go in, after all, everyone cherishes their own lives."
"No one has ever come out alive?" Elise asked unwillingly.
"Yes, but very few." Aina raised her breath and her voice became older: "Those who survived said that there were human bones everywhere inside, as if they had been attacked by some ferocious beast."
"If those ferocious beasts come out of the forest, wouldn't you be in danger, mother-in-law?" Elise was taken aback and looked at Aina and couldn't help but worry.
"Haha, those ferocious beasts have never left the forest for some reason. As long as we don't go in, our lives are not in danger." Aina smiled slightly and said: "If the beasts inside could come out, we would have moved away long ago. Where else could we go?"
There is now the longevity village.”
After listening to Aina's words, Elise smiled sheepishly. She also found that her worries were somewhat unnecessary. The government would definitely put up defense there and would not let the beast inside easily come out.
While Elise and Aina were talking, Lin Zichen's eyes flashed with curiosity. He wanted to know what the beast inside could be. Could it be a tiger? The key is how could there be a tiger in this place.
Lin Zichen felt that he should find an opportunity to take a look inside the forest. Everyone was curious, and Lin Zichen was no exception. Now that he was here and knew about this matter, there was no reason to let it go.
Anyway, he is very leisurely now, so it is a good choice to go inside and take a look.
After dinner was over, Lin Zichen kept thinking about this matter. It wasn't until he went to bed at night that he shifted his thoughts to other places.
There was no other reason. When he was about to go to bed, Lin Zichen remembered that he and Elise were going to sleep in the same room.
Lin Zichen didn't care, but when he saw Elise squirming in the living room, he couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Tony, why are you laughing!" Elise looked at Lin Zichen with a flushed face and shouted embarrassedly.
"Haha, I'd better sleep on the sofa." Lin Zichen smiled. He didn't want to see Elise in trouble. Besides, he had an explanation for Athena after sleeping on the sofa.
Lest that woman Athena always think that she wants to take advantage of Elise.
"No, how can we let Brother Tony sleep on the sofa!" Elise looked at Lin Zichen with a flushed face, her eyes full of struggle. Lin Zichen was also lying on the bed with interest, watching Elise's struggle.
This weird atmosphere lasted for a few minutes, and Lin Zichen was just about to get up from the bed. As if she had made up her mind, Elise gritted her teeth and walked into the bedroom.
She walked up to the bed in a panic. Elise covered her head with a quilt, and a small voice came from inside the quilt: "Brother Tony, night... good night, I'm going to sleep first."
After saying that, it was as if he had really fallen asleep, covering himself with the quilt and motionless.
Lin Zichen looked at Elise who had occupied the quilt with a wry smile. Maybe she hadn't noticed yet that there was only one quilt on the bed.
Helplessly getting up from the bed, Lin Zichen sat on a chair and flipped through a book on the table.
The book Lin Zichen was reading was a book about ancient Greek mythology, which detailed the development history of Greek mythology. Although it was all in Latin, it was no problem for Lin Zichen.
Lin Zichen is proficient in avoiding languages. Even if it is an unfamiliar language, Lin Zichen can learn it in a short time with his ability. Although he is not proficient, it is still enough to understand other people's speech.
Lin Zichen's reading movements are very fast, not much different from ten lines in one eye, very fast.
Elise, who was hiding under the quilt, was still waiting for Lin Zichen to lie down on the bed, but after a while of silence, she found that Lin Zichen didn't make any movement. Then she held her breath, and then heard the sound of turning a book.
Unable to resist, Elise opened a crack in the quilt and saw Lin Zichen reading a book.
Covering her mouth in surprise, Elise discovered that Lin Zichen was not reading at all, but rather flipping through a book. In just a short period of time, she had read one-fifth of the book.
After a few more minutes, Elise couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Tony, are you really reading?"
"Of course." Lin Zichen replied casually and continued to look at the Greek mythology in his hand.
"You're lying, you're obviously just flipping through a book." Elise pouted and said dissatisfiedly to Lin Zichen: "How can anyone read a book like this?"
"Me." Lin Zichen closed the book, raised his head at Elise and said, "Seeing now, I feel that Prometheus is the only good person."
"Why?" Elise asked subconsciously.
"Because he is the only one who brings light to the world." Lin Zichen smiled and then put the book on the table.
"No, Brother Tony, you don't understand Greek mythology!" Elise is an authentic Greek. When she heard someone talking nonsense about Greek mythology, she hurriedly retorted.
"Then tell me who else is a good guy in Greek mythology." Lin Zichen smiled, looked at Elise and asked.
"Brother Tony, you are not a Greek and do not understand Greek mythology." Elise looked at Lin Zichen and said confidently: "I will definitely let you find that your own understanding is wrong."
