[Comprehensive British and American] Those years when I opened a dessert shop on Baker Street

Five springs passed, and the picker never showed up at the gate of Adams Manor again.

Winsty would often sit on the tree, looking out of the manor, expecting that the gentleman picking flowers would bring her a bouquet of wild flowers from the mountains and hand over the whole spring to her, but he never appeared again .

In five years, Wensty passed puberty, some of the baby fat on her face faded, her small convex face was three-dimensional and delicate, the sun was hidden in the thick fog all the year round, her skin was pale due to lack of sunlight all the year round , this whiteness makes her hair look like black jade.

Her lips also lack color, but Morticia will always find a lipstick to add color to her face.

Applying lipstick to Winsty was one of Morticia's favorite moments of the day. After watching her good daughter finish grooming, she would take her to sit in front of the vanity mirror and dress her up.

All mothers also grew up as girls, and they would dress up Barbie dolls when they were children—of course, Morticia’s "Barbie dolls" are special—and when they have daughters, they will dress up their own daughters.

The makeup mirror carved with exquisite patterns reflected the picture of a loving mother and daughter. The corners of Wensty's mouth were naturally upturned, with distinct lip lines. The lower lip was slightly thicker than the upper lip, which was similar to a cat's lip shape. Morticia pinched her lips A lipstick, dipped in the color with a brush, and carefully traced the shape of Winsty's lips.

Morticia's technique is very delicate, like an artist who has completed a fine brushwork painting. She herself is very fond of rose-like red, and her lips are bright and eye-catching when painted. It fit so well, she chose a pomegranate-like color and painted it on Wensty's lips.

Gomez passed by, saw such a scene, and casually recited a sentence from Oscar Wilde's "Salome": "Your lips are like a bright red on an ivory tower, as if cut in half with an ivory knife." Pomegranate."

Winsty smiled helplessly. Dad always praised the women in the family with the fullest enthusiasm.

He wore a new black velvet suit, paired with shiny brand new leather shoes, and he looked more like a European nobleman. When Morticia saw her husband like this, his heart fluttered.

Winsty knew he had to get out of here and not be a giant light bulb.She consciously walked away from the makeup mirror, not to disturb the loving couple.

"Honey, don't leave in a hurry," Gomez called to Winsty, "What do you think of me wearing this suit for the Mazurka ceremony in Pugsli?"

The Mazurka ceremony is the most important celebration ceremony of the Addams family.When the boys in the family grow up to be 16 years old, they need to perform Mazurka swordsmanship in front of the whole family. Only when they are successful can they be accepted by the family and become the next helm of the Adams family. Pugsley has been practicing swordsmanship these days. Get ready for the day.

Winsty looked at Pugsley's suit, raised the corners of his mouth, and gave a thumbs up.

After she left, the smile on the corner of her mouth was still there, but sadness had already crept up between her brows.

The day of the Mazurka at Pugsley was the day she would leave Adams Manor.

Five years ago, after she read "The Exquisite and Accurate Prophecy of Agnes Fengzi", she put it back in its original place calmly, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, and returned to the room.

She didn't eat all day that day, her heart was turbulent, and her stomach was overwhelmed.

The mush left by my grandmother was placed on the bedside table, and it was already cold, so Wensty picked it up and took a sip.

Hmm... the taste is still weird... but not as bad as she thought.

Wensty ate up all the mush, lay on the bed, tossed and turned all night, and made a decision before the sky turned fish-belly white—she had already become a member of the Adams family, if she was destined to be here If you die in this mission, you can't take care of your parents, so at least you should stay with your parents for more time to witness the most important moment of your younger brother.

Now, it was the end of the five-year period she had set for herself.

Wensty walked to Hand's room. In the era of such advanced network communication, the whole family only had a laptop computer connected to the Internet.

Like an otaku looking at beautiful women online, the computer in his hand has collected a lot of photos of beautiful legs. After Wensti downloaded several works directed by Quentin Tarantino, he got the right to use this computer .

After obtaining the hand's permission, Wensty opened the e-mail, and the inbox showed zero new messages.

There was only one person on Winsty's correspondence list, and that was Mr. William Scott.

Five years ago, after Wensti accidentally learned that he had come to Broome, he read his newly published paper "Research on the Differences of Microorganisms in Different Soils and the Diseases Caused by them", in which he compared They explored the soil of Broome Town and the mountains, and found a highly active microorganism, the silkworm spirit in the mouth of the witcher, and proposed ways to improve the soil and deal with diseases.

Wensty found his e-mail at the bottom of the paper, and sent him the first e-mail. In addition to expressing his admiration for him, the e-mail also proposed a new solution to silkworm spirits, that is, It is sensitive to heat and can be burned with fire. William Scott responded quickly. He said that although this method is effective, it is difficult to put it into practice. The fire will kill people before the silkworm spirit.

Of course Wensty knew that ordinary Agni is different from the witcher's Agni and cannot be used for healing, but she did this only to attract William Scott's attention, otherwise she would not have bolded the subject of the email The font in the indicates "another solution".

The email correspondence between the two lasted on and off for five years. Mr. William Scott published a wide variety of papers, including 240 methods for determining soot. Winsty has been thinking about what he does. The information available is quite limited.

Her last email was to ask if he lived in London, because she saw that one of his papers had something to do with London.After the Mazurka ceremony at Pugsri, she was also leaving for London.

Wensty's Psylocke flies far enough that they bring her an address: 221 Baker Street, London.

Home of Sherlock Holmes.

Although she brought a mission to London, if she had the opportunity, she would also like to meet this gentleman. After all, when the elder mentioned this gentleman, he exhausted his praises. The status is also very important, but it doesn't take up much space. This gentleman disappeared mysteriously after publishing several important papers.

Wensti's history is not very good, but she vaguely remembers it, it seems to be the past few years.

I wish I had the opportunity to meet this gentleman in person.

After Wensti left her room, she went to the kitchen. Pugsley proposed that Wensti should make the cake for the mazurka ceremony, but her grandmother did not object, which was beyond her expectations.

Winsty wanted to make the cake look like Adams Castle. She first selected three layers of cake embryos of different sizes, arranged them in order from small to large, and spread a layer of chocolate cream on the surface of the cake. The whole kitchen was filled with With the smell of hazelnut chocolate, Winsty found a toothpick to create the effect of bricks on the cake. This step required a lot of patience, and the size and area of ​​the bricks had to be close to the same.

The foundation of the castle has been built, and the next step is to make the chimney and roof. Winsty found a good ice cream cone, spread chocolate cream and finely divided decorative sugar on the surface, and made a beautiful chimney and roof. Add to cake after filling with cream.

After completing the fine decoration work, decorate the doors and windows with cream and chocolate, and finally add blueberries and other fruits to complete the whole cake, and a small replica of Adams Castle is presented.

Pugsley was watching Wensty outside the kitchen. Five years had passed, and his sword handle would never be released from his hand. It would fly in front of Wensty. Under the task of defending the family.

The Adams Manor has never been so lively. Wearing a little black dress, Wensty followed her parents and stood at the door to welcome the guests. She knew that there were many relatives in her family, but the real number was a lot more than she knew. generation.

Winsty is a very polite little girl, and Gomez and Morticia will remind her of relatives she doesn't know.

"This is your third uncle."

Winsty looked at the man in black leather jacket, big black pants, with bristling ginger red hair, who looked like a rock star, and felt incredulous.

After he noticed Wensty's gaze, he drew Heichao on the bridge of his nose, revealing his golden eyes: "You know me?"

The girl hadn't been born the last time he had visited Adams Manor.

Winsty smiled, shook his head, and greeted him politely: "Hello, third uncle."

She really wanted to rush forward, grabbed his collar and asked: Why are you here?

He handed the gift to Gomez, and walked towards the limoncello in the house with coquettish steps.

Gomez and Morticia were very excited, and they kept suppressing their joy all the time, so as not to lose their sense of proportion in front of the guests just now.

Gomez grabbed Morticia's hand and kissed him fiercely: "I didn't expect him to come, it's a great honor."

"Yeah, he's really brightened up the place. After all these years, he's still pretty, every step he takes is so wicked and so graceful."

Winsty listened expressionlessly to her parents' compliments.

"You feel the same way, don't you?" Morticia asked Winsty.

Before Winsty could answer, Gomez had already answered: "Of course, my beauty. There is no one who does not bow down to his grace after meeting someone like Uncle Crowley."

The same name, the same posture, the same dressing style, it is the same person.

50 years have passed, and the appearance of this person has not changed in any way? He even became her third uncle for no apparent reason. Back then, he even tricked her into letting her bake salted egg yolk biscuits.

Crowley picked up a glass of limoncello and took a sip. The stimulating taste of lemon juice mixed with alcohol made him feel very wonderful.However, in the entire Adams Manor, I am afraid that this is the only thing that can be eaten, other food... don't mention it.

Devil Crowley is here to give his blessing.

That's right, not only angels in heaven can send blessings, but also demons in hell can send blessings. There is no reason why people who sincerely believe in Satan cannot be blessed.

Moreover, Crowley felt that the devil was much more generous than the angel, otherwise the Adams family would have been reduced to tramps.

Crowley had seen the Mazurka ceremony of the Addams family many times, and he was not at all interested in this ceremony, but in the little girl in the Addams family.

She looked as if she knew him.

It's okay to be so, the key is that he also has a damn close feeling when he sees her. What's going on?

Crowley only hoped that the mazurka ceremony would be over quickly, so that he could return quickly after giving his blessings. He came on an empty stomach.

Pugsri's mazurka ceremony went extremely smoothly, and Winsty was always worried that something would happen to him, but luckily it didn't. With Luke's accompaniment, Pugsri completed a perfect set of mazurka Swordsmanship received a lot of applause.

The Adams Castle cake made by Wensty was pushed up by hand. It has been cut into many equal portions, and each guest can get one.

"Adams!" Gomez changed the toast, holding a piece of cake aloft.

When Crowley received the cake, he rejected it in his heart.According to the usual practice, he must drink the Adams family's toast before he is willing to give a blessing, but Gomez changed the toast, which means he has to eat this cake.

Crowley remembered the last time he ate the food from the Adams family, and it was almost too salty... How many years had passed, he still remembered it vividly.

But the Adams family is his favorite family, forget it, if it tastes bad, let it be a little bit worse, anyway, the devil will not die.

But after one bite, not only did it not taste strange, but the mouth was filled with a silky and rich aroma.

what happened?

Has the Addams family finally hired a cook?

Crowley decided to try other foods, but it turned out that the Adams family hosted the banquet themselves, and the only delicious food was cake.

After the mazurka sword show, it was time for a grand carnival. Gomez said that he buried many treasures in the backyard, including the jewel urn of Adams ancestor, waiting for everyone to find.

Everyone was very excited, cheering and walking towards the backyard.Winsty also pretended to be very happy and followed, but she walked to the small garden at the back and detoured back to her room.

The luggage was packed a long time ago. She didn't bring a lot of things, so she packed it in a suitcase and put it in the room.

Wensty opened the door, and the Adams family stood inside neatly.

Her suitcase was on the ground.

How to explain?

Wensty's mind started racing, saying that she was going to go on vacation for a while?

The family spoke up before Winsty could come up with a reason.

Morticia: "Tell us everything?"

Winsty, dazed by her words, looked at the hand, which hid behind Luke in shame.

"You can actually tell us boldly," Gomez said with a pipe in his mouth, but there was no tobacco in it, "we will support you in pursuing your love."

ha?

Morticia came over, held Wensty's hand, and looked at her affectionately: "Are you going to find Mr. William Scott in London?"

The Addams family mistook William Scott, who had been in touch with Winsty, for her lover.

"Are you afraid that we won't agree, so you want to sneak away?"

Winsty: ...

"We were really worried about you going out alone," Gomez said, "so we went to the prophecy and the lady who knew everything said you'd have a great time in London."

Was Agnes Fuko right?How about a statement in a while.

"That's right, if you meet a lover you like, give him a potion, and we can have a wedding in less than three days!" The grandmother's gray and white braids were full of joy.

Pugsley picked up the box on the ground and solemnly handed it to Wensty. The Mazurka ceremony made him more mature.

Winsty took the box, which was much heavier than what she had packed.

"We added something to it."

Winsty was puzzled: "What is it?"

Morticia looked unpredictable: "Necessities."

The moon in the sky is already full, but the Adams family is facing separation.

They put her in a black antique car.

"Please give her a ride along the way, she is going to London too."

Sitting in the driver's seat of the car was Wensty's old acquaintance, now third uncle - Mr. Crowley.

Crowley was expressionless. He was thinking about eating a delicious meal. The devil would not feel hungry, but he had a certain pursuit of food.

Crowley stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out at an extremely fast speed. The Adams family turned into a small dot, disappeared in the night, and the parting was caught off guard.

Crowley's favorite music, "I'min love with my car", was playing in the car. The night wind and the beautiful music made him feel very comfortable. Looking at the little girl next to him, his face was full of sadness.

"Hey, I'm not turning the corner to send you back."

Winsty shook her head: "I won't go back."

She had to face the task, that was the serious business.Winsty never thought of running away, even if she would die in the mission.

Crowley glanced, how could such a young girl act like a heroic sacrifice?

"What are you going to London for?"

"Aren't you going to grow old?"

Two questions came together.

When Crowley heard Wensty's question, he almost subconsciously answered "Of course". He is a devil. Have you ever heard that devils grow old?But this is a secret.

He took a turn and replied: "People are born, old, sick and die."

He hid the second half of the sentence, the whole meaning of the words is: people will be born, grow old, get sick and die, but I am not a human being.
