Chapter 41: Ginny and the Tramp
Chapter 41 Ginny and the Tramp
Returning to Wilson Castle, Green returned to a familiar room after a few days, but the atmosphere of the entire Wilson Castle was very solemn.
Yesterday, something happened not long after Green left, the time went back to yesterday morning…
Ginny Weir is a senior maid of Wilson Castle. She is specially responsible for the back kitchen of the castle. To catch up with the kitchen purchases this day, Ginny Weir took two strong servants to the farm on the outskirts of the city to buy food.
Because there has been a lot of weirdness recently, coupled with the haunting of the Tower of Yin Spirits, people in Langton are panicking, and the market is very depressed. And for safety reasons, the food purchases of Castle Wilson no longer go through the market, but go directly to the farm located on the outskirts of the city.
Ginny Will is very capable. She brought people to buy food, and nothing happened. When she passed an intersection on the way back, a ragged homeless man suddenly rushed out of the side alley.
This kind of homeless is very common in Langton City. They are all bankrupt peasants. After losing their land, they cannot survive and are forced to seek a living in the city. Without any skills, they can only become beggars. This homeless man walked very fast, his eyes were cloudy, as if he was sleepwalking, and he didn't even look at whether there were carriages or other pedestrians on the road. The Wilson family's coachman was also used to being domineering. When he saw someone rushing towards him, he didn't want to hide at all. No one dared to ram the Wilson family's carriage.
The result can be imagined, no one on both sides will let them, and they collided hard. The horse pulling the carriage made a "slippery" sound, but the experienced coachman pulled the reins and stopped the carriage in the middle of the road.
Ginny Will, who was sitting in the back box, swayed and almost fell into the potato basket. Touching the soil for no reason made her a little angry, and asked angrily, "What's the matter? Can you drive the car well?"
"Sister Ginny, this guy suddenly rushed out and I came to hide." The driver explained aggrievedly, staring fiercely at the homeless man who was knocked down to the ground, but was stunned to find that the homeless man was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his hands and feet were twitching, and he could not survive. !
The coachman was a little panicked, if it was just a scratch, it would be fine, but if he killed someone, even if the carriage belonged to the Viscount, he, the perpetrator, would definitely not get anything cheap. He quickly jumped out of the car, intending to go over to check.
At this time, Ginny Weir also came out of the back of the carriage. She frowned when she saw the tramp lying on the ground. If she killed someone, she would not be able to explain it. She quickly put out her fingers and wanted to take a breath. Let's see if this homeless man is dead or not. But she didn't expect that just as she approached, the wanderer stood up suddenly, with protruding cheekbones under the unkempt hair, staring unnaturally, as if to tear the corners of his eyes, and made a hoarse and low voice: "It's weird! It's weird. Yes! We all have to die, no one can live, can't live..."
Ginny Weill was startled, she hurriedly hid behind with a jerk, but the tramp grabbed the hem of her skirt and couldn't break free, she was so frightened that she screamed. The strong and strong servant was next to him, he quickly came up and waved the scrawny hand of the homeless man, dragged him to the side of the road, still under a tree, and threw him on the ground, clapping his palms in disgust.
The homeless man didn't struggle, just repeated those words with a dull face, but his eyes were always on Ginny Will.
Ginny was very uncomfortable being stared at by him, and she had the heart to tell the two servants to teach this **** lunatic, but she was afraid that the other party was too weak, so don't kill people again, it would be troublesome. So after weighing the pros and cons, she held back, stopped looking at the homeless man, hurried back to the carriage and left.
It would be nothing if it was just such a small episode.
However, just last night, almost when Green was killing the Quartet, a shrill scream suddenly came from the small building where the servants lived next to Wilson Castle.
A terrified servant screamed shrilly, trying to push away the bedmate who was madly biting his neck.
And that crazy manservant was the one who went shopping with Ginny Will during the day. At this time, his face was blue, his eyes were missing, and he had bitten off a piece of meat from the neck of the unfortunate roommate, and his mouth was bloody. Still chewing!
At the same time, there was a commotion and screams from the next room, which was where the other footman lived, and the noise was raging at this time.
On the ground floor of the castle, because he is in charge of the castle's kitchen, Ginny Will is eligible to live in the castle.
In the room at this time, a dirty man with a hunched body was standing by the bed looking at Ginny Will, who was sleeping soundly.
seemed to sense something, Ginny suddenly opened her eyes and saw the man standing beside the bed screaming at a very high decibel, she instinctively sat up and kicked the man with her legs.
The man didn't dodge and counterattack, and let Ginny scream and fight like crazy.
The movement of quickly alerted the guards on the night watch. When two guards armed with weapons kicked the door and broke in, the homeless man who appeared out of nowhere was beaten to the ground. One of the guards went up to check, and couldn't help being a little surprised that this man was actually dead!
Ginny was still in shock. She grabbed the quilt with her hands and gasped for breath. When she learned that the homeless man was dead, her face became even paler and her expression was terrified. It was unbelievable that she was a woman who was not strong and had not received any combat training. Can kill a man with his bare hands.
However, after the accident, Viscount Paul, who learned the truth, was not concerned about the occurrence of people, but how that person entered the castle through the heavily guarded defense.
It's a pity that Dr. Wilkins is gone, and Green was not there at the time. There are only two junior magic apprentices in the entire Wilson Castle who can control the defensive circle, but they only know some skins, so they can't find the loopholes in the circle, let alone find out that How the tramp got into the castle.
This made Viscount Paul and Vincent feel like they were on their backs, and they immediately ordered to strengthen their guard and light up the lights all night to brighten the rooms inside and outside the castle.
Ginny Will was questioned for an hour, and returned to her residence exhausted and terrified, but in the face of this familiar room, she dared not sleep any more, and directly found another maid who was usually good to share with her...
A few hours later
It is more than four in the morning, when the night is the darkest and when people sleep the most.
Suddenly another shrill and terrifying scream broke the silence of Wilson Castle for the second time in one night.
At some point, the entire castle was in commotion again, and the guard in charge of the night quickly ran towards the source of the call. Viscount Paul, who lived on the upper floors of the castle, also received the news immediately.
Viscount Paul was neatly dressed and sat behind the huge solid wood desk in the study. The previous situation made him have an ominous premonition. He simply did not go back to the bedroom, but rested in the study. Rune-enchanted pistol, loaded and ready to fire.
