Angel on earth

Aaron opened the window a little farther away to let the stench out of the house.What he used to suture Joyce was his own blood, so he didn't worry that the smoke from outside would float in and contaminate the wound.

Mikhail noticed that Victor was dirty in the morning, and he brought a change of clothes when he went out, so he asked him in a low voice if he wanted to take a bath.Aaron leaned over, hesitated, and then kissed him himself.Aaron touched his lips again with a smile, and sighed: "What's the matter!"

Mikhail shook his head honestly, indicating that he didn't ask either.Aaron was also not interested, so he pushed down his glasses tiredly, and said, "Is the bathroom in the guest room right? I'll take a shower first. If anyone comes to the door, I'll drive them out. Say yes... well, don't lie, just say that the Viscountess is sick." Now, your doctor is busy, who will be responsible if someone dies? Be more upright, Misha, let the other party know that you are guilty, use the one you are good at!"

"I'm not good at it!" Mikhail said angrily.

"Mikhail, Mikhail," Aaron became happy again. Mikhail couldn't see how nostalgic his expression was, but he could hear the coaxing in his tone that didn't match that stiff face, " As long as you stand here with a serious expression, everyone will feel that you have committed a heinous crime. Okay, okay, Misha, make me a cup of tea. I have been looking at Joyce's oak-leaf hydrangea for a long time, and I will treat it as a diagnosis. Gold is fine."

Mikhail agreed to come down, and before he went out, kissed his cold lips again.He was so nervous during the treatment that he bit his lip.

After 15 minutes, Mikhail fished out Aaron, who had fallen asleep in the hot water like a dead body, from the bathtub, and placed him on the bed in the guest room.

Someone knocked on the back door, and Mikhail stood up in rare annoyance, bumped his head against the door frame, regained consciousness a bit, touched the door, and heard Victor calling Jane.After a moment of hesitation, Mikhail still opened the door, bent over and said, "Miss Jane is fine and resting. What can you do, Mr. Victor?"

Victor was startled by the sudden appearance of the white head, looked around vigilantly, stepped forward, and said, "I'm here to see Dr. Edwards, Misha, but it's the same if it's you... the same .I...I have to tell you guys!"

Mikhail shook his head and said firmly: "You will get into trouble for this. We will find out about this sooner or later. Be careful."

"You saved Nancy!" Victor suddenly became ferocious, growling in a low voice, "Are you the only ones in the world who deserve to be good people? Bah! I'm telling you, I'm going to say, it was Vincenzo Marino who did it." , Fox introduced him, fuck it!"

After finishing speaking, his flushed face suddenly turned pale, he looked around, turned around and ran away.

Mikhail waited for him to leave safely and closed the door, looked up at the pitch-black ceiling, and felt that it seemed a long time ago.

After going upstairs, Aaron was already in the bedroom of the Viscountess.Mikhail sat down beside him and said: "Vincenzo Marino."

Aaron thought for a while: "That Aiden man?" He glanced at the "Lemongrass" store outside the window again, showing the expression of seeing a stinky man who hasn't showered for three days asking him to drink blood, "Fox really Not a good thing."

Mikhail nodded in agreement, but Aaron said nothing.Mikhail realized that he was not in the right mood, squeezed close to him, and asked, "What's the problem?"

The middle finger and index finger of Aaron's right hand tapped on the armrest in turn, and he didn't speak for a long time.Mikhail waited patiently, and finally he spoke:

"Misha, I think... when the Viscountess gets better, we—I have to go to the mine."

"'We'." Mikhail corrected.

"Okay, 'we'." The vampire who didn't need to breathe sighed, and suddenly became more tired than when he was healing the Viscountess, and leaned into his arms, "Our days are long, you must know .”

"Then the day after tomorrow, we can't stay here forever." Mikhail put his arms around him, kissed the top of his head, and said, "There will be a puppet show of "Punch and Judy" the day after tomorrow, and I haven't seen it yet." Pass."

"Actually, neither do I." Aaron laughed, "Where is it?"

"Outskirts of the city. There will be lights and festoons everywhere that day, there will be many jugglers and vendors, and it's the only time in the whole year when you don't have to worry about the haunting of Mirror Lake. Victor said he would take Christine to sell lemonade .”

"The day after tomorrow..." Aaron narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "I'll find someone to look after Joyce, after all, Jane can't work right now... Well, I have a very good friend, Misha."

"Micah or Candy Kane?"

"Whatever." Aaron shrank into Mikhail's arms and closed his eyes, "Our family's ghosts won't go on for 300 years."

Mikhail smiled lowly, took off his glasses, and asked him to rest in his arms for a while.However, 10 minutes later, someone knocked on the door and delivered the medicinal materials ordered in the morning. Aaron put on his glasses and went to decoct the medicinal materials.

That night, the two stayed at Viscount Sharp's mansion.Aaron sent someone to write a letter to Captain Fox, but he didn't get a reply for a long time, and he ignored it.The next day, Joyce's fever subsided, and Aaron gave her another dose of painkillers; Jane's condition improved a lot, and she was accompanied by Mikhail to recruit temporary workers. Mrs Wood and her daughter, Mikhail was instantly recognizable by his striking height.

After questioning, Mikhail learned that Mrs. Wood was the cousin of Joyce's mother. She had cut off contact with her relatives under her husband's control a few years ago. He didn't know what Joyce was doing recently. He thought that The beautiful and lovely niece is married.The mother and daughter, who are currently in mourning, were overwhelmed by the news of Joyce's injury and immediately offered to help take care of poor Joyce.

Mikhail and Jane had no right to speak about this, and finally brought them back to the Viscount's mansion.They were originally going to visit a few workers who had worked in Mr. Wood's factory before and were injured and fired today, but the matter of relatives is more urgent.Mrs. Wood handed over a wad of new money to the butler, and told him to put it in the hands of those poor people.I heard that one of them lost his place of residence. Recently, he took his wife to look for a job near the park. She said that the Wood family still lacked a porter.

Mrs. Wood praised Jane for her loyalty, and after entering the door, she enthusiastically took over the work of looking after Joyce.Her daughter had been deeply troubled by her husband's violence, so she took care of Joyce more carefully.Aaron was also relieved to see that Joyce Sharp still had a few reliable relatives. Anyway, Mikhail would not bring unreliable guys over.

Another day passed, and Aaron got up in the morning to change Joyce Sharp's medicine. When Mrs. Wood's daughter was feeding her sweet porridge, Hector Fox came and was chased away by Mrs. Wood screaming.Mrs. Wood was not famous in the city in the past. She was dull and old-fashioned. Under the influence of her husband, she seldom participated in social activities. She could only meet this lifeless woman at the Wake-up Church on Sunday. I didn't expect that she would dare to beat a woman this time. A young and strong captain.Fox ran away because of a guilty conscience, and she was still shouting behind, a man like you will be punished sooner or later!

Aaron, who had just explained the precautions to Jane and slipped out the back door, laughed hoarsely, and Mikhail touched his nose and laughed.

It was a sunny day, and it was very lively inside and outside the city.The two people's carriage was blocked near the Church of the First Awakening, so they simply left the old and worn-out carriage and blended into the crowd.On the way out of town, there were guards greeting Dr. Edwards and wishing him a good time.

Fortunately, the two saw Hector and Barbara Fox near the ribbon-like winding festival market. The captain heard that their carriage was blocked in the city, so he generously borrowed two of their horses and called his servant Soldiers to fetch.With the obvious uniform of military horses, the two successfully entered the depths of the Amexist forest; Aaron remembered that an officer in the forest suffered from liver disease, so he used this as an excuse to sneak into the mining area.In the past, people were required to accompany them. After all, this is the Diana Crystal Mine. It would be terrible if something was lost, but now it is during the festival and everyone knows Aaron, so they don't care much.

Nearly 300 years of vagabondage has made Aaron develop many good habits. For example, four officers here suffered from the same disease. He cured the other three, but lied to the last one that his condition was special and he kept using various The injection is suspended, and the medicine soup is slowly cured.This kind of therapy is indeed better, but Aaron is more to give himself a chance.Every time he was asked when it would be cured, he would say some harsh and profound words with a straight face to fool him.

Today, as always, Aaron gave Lieutenant Baker a drink, closed the door, and lit a sleeping incense.The whole session takes an hour, which is enough time for Aaron to do many bad things, such as sneaking into the mining area with Mikhail when no one is patrolling.

The Diana Crystal Mine has been mined for hundreds of years. At the beginning, it was only manpower, and Noren didn't dare to blatantly use mages on a large scale. Therefore, the number and quality of gemstones mined in the past few hundred years are not as high as in recent years.The nearby woods have fallen to woodland houses and firewood, exposing the colorful and potholed mountains and ground, and the roar of machinery is lonely and monotonous overshadowing the fireworks of the festival in the distance.

Aaron held Mikhail's hand, shrugged his nose, and swaggered into a mine. Mikhail bent down and bumped his head into his hand.

"Be careful, Misha. The mine is very low, so I have to wrong you, um... I'll get a cart!"

Aaron often became happy in some inexplicable places and times, such as now, he left Mikhail in a hurry, went to steal a cart, and told Mikhail to sit in it.He grabbed the handle and pushed it forward. Mikhail's head rested on his chest, and his long legs dangled outside the car.

As they walked, they passed sweaty torturers and sullen overseers who ignored them like out-of-season flowers blooming up and down a clinic, and Aaron lifted a kerosene lamp from a drunk overseer. .

The dark corridor is surrounded by potholes, and a few crude wood and metal pipes stand on both sides of the mine as a support.A muddy and hideous metal drill machine was blocked at the fork. Aaron retched, picked a path, and pushed Mikhail into it.

The wick of the kerosene lamp shook twice and went out with a pop.Mikhail raised his hand with difficulty, took off the bandage, and opened his eyes.

Aaron was about to praise him, but when he saw the road ahead, he stopped laughing.The curved mine tunnel looks like it was bitten by wild dogs. Most of the area is crumbling due to such a rough development method, and many sections of the road are falling to dust with the activities of people, rats and machines in other parts of the mining area.He lowered his back very low, and finally stopped in front of a collapsed rock.

The road nearby was so steep that Mikhail almost fell out.

Mikhail raised his head, and the light and shadow in the cave changed accordingly.Aaron closed his eyes, sniffed, listened carefully for a while, and said, "This is not the depth that humans can reach with machines."

"I can." Mikhail realized something was wrong after finishing speaking.

"Yes, you can." Aaron said in a low voice, "Don't you think the air here is a bit thin, Misha?"

Mikhail opened his eyes wide.
