Chapter 197 197. Today
"Master, there seems to be no exit near the coordinates you gave!"
"how so?"
"I don't know! I guess it has something to do with the spiritual tide. Once there are too many spiritual bodies, they will occupy the entrances and exits. The coordinates you provided should be very peaceful over there, right?"
Evelyn nodded slightly: "There! It's the safest place in the East Continent."
It was early June and the weather was not too hot.
Compared to the harsh sunshine in previous years, the sunshine this year is much gentler.
At least, everyone can still be outdoors at noon, and almost no one will suffer from heatstroke.
The temperature is thirty-two degrees!
Lanlan looked at the mercury thermometer on the wall.
Now, the concept of temperature has gradually formed in her mind.
So, I often take a curious look at it.
"Lanlan, are you going back this year?" Xiqi hugged Lanlan's big tail from behind.
Only familiar people can perform such intimate actions.
Lan Lan's face turned red as she broke away: "Stop it!"
"Answer me now."
"I plan to go back in September. It's still early now. Xiqi, aren't you going to work at the port today?"
"You have to relax once in a while. I might not be a maid anymore!"
"Ah, why?"
"Mixia will take over my position. I will be the manager! I am the manager anyway."
A trace of loneliness flashed across the eyes of the beautiful girl with purple-black hair. Unknowingly, almost three years had passed.
From the early expectations, to the subsequent disappointment, and then to the current calmness.
Lan Lan filled Xiqi's teacup with hot water and said, "Master, do you agree?"
"No, I haven't told him yet." Xiqi picked up the ceramic cup and took a sip.
The water temperature is very hot, but it is just right for brewing. I have recently become addicted to brewing various scented teas. Different types of plants have different tastes when brewed in boiling water.
Such as the fragrance and bitterness of chrysanthemums, the sourness of lemons. I also raised a pure black cat in Fulinbao.
Because rats are rampant in cities and towns, cats have become the most popular pets. Families with a little bit of wealth will choose to keep a cat at home. The more aggressive the wild cat is, the better. As long as it can catch rats, it is a hero! Cats that can't catch rats are useless.
"I don't think the young master will agree!" Lan Lan said, wagging his tail.
"Madam will agree." Xiqi put down the cup and said lightly.
"Madam, you can't control the young master." Lan Lan's expression looked a little strange, and she whispered softly.
"How is that possible?" Xiqi didn't find anything unusual about Lanlan.
Perhaps, until the end of spring, this subhuman girl from the Ice Wolf Clan had been too calm.
Last year's tail was still as long as a flagpole. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through her mind, and Xiqi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Lanlan, you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Lan Lan turned her face away guiltily.
"You cunning fox, will the lady kill you?" Xiqi grabbed Lanlan's tail angrily.
"Go away! No more!"
"What else do you want to hide? Tell me the truth."
"Don't make trouble, the young master is resting."
Xiqi's physical strength was obviously not as good as Lanlan's, and she was easily pinned down.
"I'm warning you, Xiqi, don't talk nonsense! Otherwise, Lord Lodel will be in big trouble."
"Lanlan, I misjudged you. You actually did such a thing!"
"Don't blame me! The subhumans in the budding stage are already very dangerous, and you chose to provoke me." Lan Lan lowered her eyes and said to herself: "Last year, I endured it for a whole year."
"How old are you? Seventeen?"
Xiqi looked like she was being wronged: "The sisters didn't do anything yet, but you took the initiative? Lanlan, you are going too far!"
"I'm not the first one. Was it Suya who made the move first? I smelled the scent of the young master on her!" Lan Lan defended.
"You, you guys!" Xiqi gritted her teeth, unable to speak.
Lan Lan let go of Xiqi's shoulders: "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon. If you don't take the initiative, do you still expect the young master to take the initiative?"
"What about Madam?"
"Let's take it one step at a time! A maid's duty is to serve her master. If it doesn't work out, I'll just go back. I've been doing this for three years and I've earned enough money."
Lanlan looked at the clouds in the sky, feeling a little distracted.
Dong, dong, dong. The melodious sound of the bell rings. Before I knew it, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
The newly built bell tower is located on Fulin Road. It is a solitary cylindrical building with a reinforced concrete structure, about 25 meters high.
Normally, it only serves to tell time. If East Harbor City is attacked, the guards on the sentry post on the top of the bell tower will change to a different bell, which will make a completely different sound. Conversely, the same will happen if Fulin Castle is attacked.
This clock tower has two functions: timekeeping and early warning.
It has been measured that the sound of the bell can travel seven kilometers during the day, basically covering the entire Dongguan City. In the dead of night, the sound of the bell can be heard for dozens of miles.
It is said that it can be faintly heard even in Hunter Town at night.
Lowe felt that the clock had no other use except that it was extremely noisy.
Several tons of copper were wasted to make a big toy.
Lodel also showed off this bell tower, which could strengthen the control of Fort Fulin.
She's crazy to even want to build somewhere else!
Later, one day, when Lowe went to the bell tower for an on-site inspection, he discovered the third function of the bell tower.
Store food!
Each floor is a sealed granary, sealed with reinforced concrete and iron doors, leaving no chance for rats to get in.
This way the bell tower becomes useful and no longer a silly building.
Although the copper bell on the roof consumes a lot of copper, if it is not used in the future, the copper can be melted down, so it cannot be considered a waste.
Lo Wei hugged the silk quilt and turned over. He could faintly hear the bronze bell ringing four times again.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature dropped to twenty-seven degrees.
Two maids were summoned to the lord's bedroom.
"Xiqi, were you bitten by a dog?"
"I was bitten by Lan Lan."
"Lan Lan, why are you biting people?"
"Xiqi, she said I was a vixen, I said I was a wolf, she didn't believe it, so I made her believe it."
Lan Lan didn't dare to face Luo Wei's gaze. She lowered her head to look at her fingers. The big tail behind her froze strangely.
Not as naughty and smooth as before.
"Master!" Xiqi's eyes turned red. "Bad Lanlan did it on purpose. She is not pure at all. She is a vixen with a black heart."
"I am an ice wolf." Lan Lan bared his sharp canine teeth and pretended to pounce and bite.
The two of them were playing and following behind Lo Wei. The first thing he did when he woke up every day was to check on his wife.
Lodel was about to give birth.
The pregnancy lasted for ten months, about nine months had passed. The baby was expected to be born in July, during the autumn harvest season.
Recently, she has been staying in Fulin Castle obediently, not hunting around or fighting with others. This makes people feel more at ease.
