Granville's estate

"So, do you want to join us in our fun?"

Mother Moreau was still holding Louis tightly when she said this, she gave Callister a wink, and at the same time deliberately let the young man see the mature hue revealed under the dress he had just messed up—— Obviously, the invincible experience in Saint-Etienne made Moreau's mother very confident in her charm, so she thought that Callister would also surrender under her skirt (after all, there are only a few women in Saint-Etienne. !); for a maid with a strong appetite, a frail and delicate young man like Louis is certainly delicious, but after all, he lacks some fun of being conquered, while Callister is vigorous and flexible, such a young man is undoubtedly more suitable for her Why would you say no to a hearty main course alongside a delicious dessert?

"What are you kidding, I have no interest in what you guys want to do behind closed doors."

Facing such an extremely brazen invitation from Mama Moreau, even Callister couldn't help showing a disgusted expression, he raised his chin haughtily, and slightly raised his voice: "But I don't like to see things that make things difficult for others. At least I don’t want to watch it today—let him go.”

"That's not okay, it's not your business, my dear little sir, even the supervisor can't control me, let alone you."

Mama Moro replied in a disgusting voice. The maid had calmed down from the panic just now, and she leaned her face against Louis's delicate and fair face with a charming smile: "If you If you don’t want to be punished by your teacher, then it’s best to leave here now obediently, as if you don’t know anything. Ah, of course, you also have another choice, that is to close the door and come to me—— Don't you want to try the happiest thing in the world too?"

"Oh, you'd better go to hell with your devil and be merry!"

Facts have proved that for Callister, who is used to being deviant, Mama Moreau's faint threat was useless at all, and even had a little counterproductive effect--just after the maid's voice fell, Callister was like a bird. He came rushing forward with the great stride of an angry lion; his imposing manner was so startling that it took the maid a moment to realize that the gentleman had not only completely ignored her words, but was about to take her just out of her hands. Trapped prey snatched away.

"You nasty bastard!"

Mama Moreau screamed and took a step back, clutching Louie's arm as she turned to pick up the stick that stood beside the fire to chastise the daring student; He was much more flexible, and before Mama Moreau touched her target, he had already restrained the maid's hand very easily—his strength was so great that Mama Moro immediately felt pain. Had to call out.

"As I said, I'm not in the mood to joke with you."

Callister said to the maid in a dark tone, looking into the maid's eyes, and almost finger by finger, parted her restless hand from Louis' arm: "You Do you think you can threaten me with that old man? If you really think so, you can give it a try—you low-class people will only use such despicable methods anyway."

After saying this, Callister pushed the maid very hard, which caused the maid to scream and fall on the ground made of rammed soil—in order to show her beauty and With a slender waist, the maid not only deliberately increased the number of petticoats, but also tied the corset very tightly, which made it difficult for her to breathe due to the restraint of the corset after being pushed to the ground. Get up on your own strength.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Callisto pulled up Louis who hadn't recovered from the panic, and led him to escape from the dark little room.

Before going out, Callister did not forget to throw a very mocking sentence to the maid who was struggling to get up: "Ah, I forgot to say, I don't care about old women with wrinkled skin Interest, if you are 30 years younger, I can consider it."

This extremely ironic remark definitely dealt a severe blow to the maid who was most afraid of her old age and fading. Later, she provoked Mr. Legrand, who was in charge of Callister's mathematics class at all costs, to give Cali Ster asked for trouble in order to avenge Callister for hurting her—but this was only guessed after a long time later, when Louis already had the courage to recall and face this day. Next, his frightened mind was already blank, let alone caring about these details.

He was led by Callista out of the witch's hut, through a small garden full of dead wisterias and withered trees, until he came near a small warehouse where broken furniture was stored.

No one would come to this place at ordinary times, let alone when Christmas was just celebrated. It wasn't until here that Callister stopped walking with Louis.He let go of Louis' hand, turned around, and shouted angrily at the young man who was still in shock and hadn't recovered: "Are you a fool, who let you into her room!"

"I, I didn't want to go into that room..."

Louis opened his mouth in a daze. He felt his face was icy cold, and when he reached out to touch it, he found that his face was covered with tears that had been blown cold by the wind: "I, I don't want to go in, she pulled me in The... woo, woo woo..."

"Even if she pulls you, you won't push her away? It's just a woman, can't you deal with a woman?"

"I, I, woo woo...I didn't..."

A man should not shed tears easily. Weakness and sentimentality are things that only belong to women-this is the admonition that men in this era have been receiving from infants to adults. However, after the terrible experience just now, Louis only felt Something that he had always believed in collapsed, and various emotions such as grievance, regret, fear, and fear surged up all at once, making him sob uncontrollably like a child, defending himself while crying: "I don't want to be with Mama Moreau. I've been avoiding her. It's Luo, Mr. Legrand..."

Callister frowned in surprise, but he quickly guessed what was going on from Louis' incoherent narration.

"Whenever you still take that old man's words as a bible, it seems that you are not only an idiot who can only read, but also a fool."

Obviously, he did a good thing by snatching the innocent lamb from the mouth of the evil wolf, but this Mr. Callister Duvas insisted on being merciless in his words—if someone doesn’t know the cause and effect The teacher happened to be passing by here at this time, and I was afraid that he would think that this "bad" student who had always been domineering bullied another "good" student who kept his own law and cried!

However, despite the sarcasm on his lips, Callister still took out a handkerchief from his pocket, he stretched out his hand and roughly pulled Louis who was crying with tears all over his face, and angrily took the handkerchief hard. Wipe his tears: "Don't cry, what's the use of crying here now! Remember in the future, stay away from that old woman!"

After wiping Louie's face, he stared at the boy's red lips that were bitten red from trying to suppress crying for a while. He probably couldn't bear that it had been touched by Mama Moreau, so he used the corner of the handkerchief again. Wipe it hard there: "In the future, if you see that woman again, stay away. If Legrand says it, you will just let him go--just pretend that she doesn't exist, understand?"

"I, I know..."

In fact, Callisto didn't need to remind him more. Since this incident, Louis never dared to do such a stupid thing like being alone again.To a certain extent, the way he took to protect himself was a little sorry for his friends, but during that time when he was like a frightened bird, he did rely on the way of going in and out with Alred or others to avoid Mo Mother Luo's revenge several times-even though Louis himself buried everything in his heart, and none of his friends saw anything unusual.

It was not until much later that Louis had the courage to recall the days that were so dark as if covered by invisible clouds, and it took so many years for him to have the courage to tell his best friend about the situation at that time-perhaps for the pleasure-seeking For the playboys, being spotted and flirted by women is not a disgrace, but a thing worth showing off; A nightmare to touch.

Alred always regarded this kind of thing as a joke. His aristocratic background and years of experience in Paris made him not object to this kind of flirting, but when he learned that his friend had also had such a When he encountered it and left a deep shadow over it, he completely forgot his attitude towards this kind of affair, and wished he could go back to Saint-Etienne at that time so that he could find a chance to take Mama Moreau The house I lived in was demolished.

"My God, how dare she! How dare she!"

After listening to Louis's narration, Alred was very emotional. He walked up and down the study at No. 79 St. George Street in extreme anger. If Mama Moreau stood in front of him at this time, he would probably violate the most basic The principle of a gentleman, and couldn't help but beat up the shameless woman: "What happened later? Did she... did she still try to treat you...? Why didn't you tell me! If I knew her How dare you do this, I will definitely punch her in the face!"

"She... she also approached me several times later, but I was not fooled." Louis whispered, he felt very sorry for his friend: "After all, I was with you and Charlie no matter where I went. , Hector and the others...so later, Mama Moreau went to trouble Callister, and she must have joined forces with Mr. Legrand to create a lot of difficulties for him."
