Top stream became a doll substitute

The sound of water droplets.

Very clear.

Xue Yu's eyes were pitch black.

This is a wide and deep corridor.

He only remembered that he was still in Howard's car the last second. Howard drove for a long time before they stopped at an old castle in the wilderness.

Howard asked him to wait for him in the car.

But Xue Yu saw him go into that infiltrating old castle.

After a long time, no one came out.

It was clearly daytime, but the surroundings of the castle were gloomy and dark due to the dense forest.

Xue Yu waited for a while, unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car.The old castle in front of me looks like a medieval castle, with stone buildings, like a spire that can pierce the sky.

Xue Yu hesitated for a while, but still walked into the castle.

He saw his brother enter through the narrow side door.

It was a dilapidated heavy wooden door with rusted iron chains and stone locks.

Because Howard had already opened it, Xue Yu just pushed it lightly and went in.

The wooden door made a dull creaking sound, piercing and empty.

And because of inertia, the door closed automatically as soon as Xue Yu came in.

The only light disappeared, and the road ahead was pitch black.

Seems like an endless corridor.

There were no overhead lamps, nor even wall lamps to illuminate the walls, only torch holders.

Xue Yu fumbled in his pocket, wanting to get his phone for light.

However, he discovered that he had accidentally left his cell phone in Howard's car.

Xue Yu was about to go back to get it, when he turned around, there was a scream of pain behind him—it was Howard's voice.

Accompanied by the sound of porcelain breaking to the ground.

It echoed for a long time in the empty corridor.

"elder brother!"

Xue Yu subconsciously turned around and ran towards the source of the sound.

The sound of water droplets, footsteps, and the sound of flames being lit...

Xue Yu finally found a light, a small one, coming out from the crack in the front door.

Before Xue Yu arrived, the door was suddenly opened, and Howard, who was in a mess, covered his head and ran out staggeringly, and then saw Xue Yu in front of him, his pupils instantly looked like a wolf meeting prey in the jungle - Howard rushed over, He grabbed Xue Yu's hand and ran in another direction.

When Xue Yu was taken away, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a vague figure in the room where Howard came out.

Is there anyone else here?

The castle ran into walls everywhere.

Before Xue Yu could catch his breath, Howard threw him into a room.

Xue Yu hit the floor.

Howard dropped the lock from the inside.

"It's too late... shall we stay here?"

In the dim vision, Xue Yu saw Howard's trembling hands fumbled for a syringe from his pocket, and injected it into his own arm.

Everything happened so suddenly and naturally.

Xue Yu's pupils couldn't help being taken aback.

Howard, who gradually calmed down, lit the torch on the wall.

The room suddenly brightened.

Howard's figure gradually became clear in the firelight, and the instruments in the room also showed their original appearance.

Xue Yu saw several huge equipment, a dusty experimental bench, and instruments with green liquid precipitated.

Howard took the gloves out of his pocket again and put them on.

Xue Yu opened his mouth, feeling unspeakably weird.

The moment Howard hooked up the device to electricity.

Boiling, green liquid rolled up in the big bottle behind Xue Yu.

"Ivor, come here."

Xue Yu shook his head instinctively, and subconsciously took a step back.

"Why avoid me, Ivor?" Howard said. "Don't you want to see Isa?"

"What are these?" Xue Yu asked.

Howard followed Xue Yu's gaze and scanned the room.

"This is our pride, Ivor, we are the best Howard family." The corners of Howard's mouth were raised, and there was a hint of madness in his eyes, "Come here, Ivor."

Howard walked towards Xue Yu step by step.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Master—"

It was an old woman's voice.

While knocking on the door, he repeated the word "Master".

Howard just paused for a second after the sound, and then continued to move towards Xue Yu.

Xue Yu lost to his strength and was dragged onto the test bench.

When the rubber holster bound Xue Yu's wrists, Xue Yu stared quietly, then raised his head suddenly, without timidity or fear, "...Brother, it hurts a bit."

Howard froze.

First the eyelids and then the fingers, waves of trembling surged up with the memory, almost submerged.

"Brother, why is Dad angry? Did Isa do something wrong?"

"Brother, Isa wants to go to kindergarten..."

"Dad, it hurts so much..."

There was a dull impact, and Howard knelt down on the ground with his head in his arms, panting heavily.

"Brother, don't tell mom, Isa doesn't hurt anymore."

"Brother, mom said I have a little brother, does the little brother go to kindergarten with Yisha?"

Cold things, tense faces, desperate mothers, monstrous flames...

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry father, I'm sorry... I'm sorry Isha... Isha..."

Howard was shaking and retching.

Xue Yu jumped off the experimental platform, "Brother..." Xue Yu stretched out his hand to help him, but found that the rubber sheath was still wrapped in his hand, Xue Yu gritted his teeth, and untied it skillfully.

Xue Yu helped Howard up, and the door happened to be hammered open.

An old woman with pale hair was holding a hammer and stared at Xue Yu in a daze.

The old woman is a servant in the old castle.

She has lived here most of her life.

Xue Yu and her helped move Howard to a clean room.

"Let the young master sleep for a while." The old woman led the way holding a torch.

Xue Yu discovered that they were in the underground of the castle.

With the upward extension of layers of stone stairs, the eyes gradually become brighter.

Finally, it is a broad and bright field of vision.

The old woman blew out the torch.

Xue Yu looked out of the balcony, the forest was dense, and it took a long distance before there were fireworks.

"Are you the young master's friend?" the old woman asked, "My eyes were so dazzled that I almost mistook you for a young lady."

Xue Yu pursed her lower lip. "Miss... is it Isa?"

The old woman didn't answer.

After walking for a while, the old woman said, "The young master has a mental illness, and he rarely brings outsiders back. You should be his best friend..."

The old woman told Xue Yu to wait where she was, then turned around and went into a room to get the medicine. "The young master cannot disclose his illness to the world. The young master finally returned to normal. If others find out, they will arrest the young master and lock him up."

The old woman muttered.

Xue Yu's attention was attracted by another room.

It was an ordinary wooden door, no different from the surrounding ones.

Xue Yu couldn't help but push it away.

"You can't!" The old woman who noticed it screamed.

But it was too late.

It was a simple and elegant room with a clean white bed and a balcony surrounded by iron bars and vines.

Weak and pale woman is sitting on a deck chair on a balcony and lightly sleeping.

Her back was facing the balcony, and blooming vines hung from her long golden hair.On the legs covered with the silk blanket, a book was spread out.

The woman heard the door opening and slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of hazel eyes.

"Isa?" The woman turned her head slightly.

The old woman hurriedly said, "Ma'am, he is the young master's friend, I will let him go now. Go—"

"Ivor?"

A woman's voice whispered.

Xue Yu turned around and paused.

The old woman's eyes widened even more, "Impossible... how is it possible..."

The old woman's hand holding Xue Yu's arm suddenly tightened, "Young master, young master...is it really you?"

"Ivor, I often dream about you and Isa." The woman has pale skin, but she smiles like a lily in early spring. "When you grow up, you don't want to talk to me anymore."

Xue Yu walked over slowly.

The woman held out her hand.

The hand that stopped in mid-air was so sickly white that the color of the meridians could almost be seen.

Xue Yu squatted down and slowly took that hand.

With the cold and warm touch, the woman's eyes were lost for a moment, and then her lips curled up. "It doesn't seem like a dream. You are willing to come back."

Tears fell on Xue Yu's hands.

Xue Yu's eyes gradually widened, dazed and hazy.

Hot and scorching hot.

is a mother's tears.

The old woman covered her face and wept.

Police in Chicago surrounded the castle.

When a group of people broke into the castle, they saw the old lady and Xue Yu exiting the room.

Before Du Lianshang rushed over.

Xue Yu had already run over, hugged him tightly, and buried his head in his arms.

Those who did not cry in front of their mother finally couldn't help sobbing.

It was the first time for Du Lianshang to see a child crying so sadly, and his phone was at a loss for a moment:

"Where do you hurt? Did they bully you?"

From the plane, to contacting the police, the contact person found Howard's location, and then rushed over to the castle.

Du Lianshang's frightened heart seemed to be shattered by Xue Yu's crying.

In the crowd, Yan Yi glanced around, quietly withdrew, and went to the basement familiarly.

Only the old woman put her hips on her hips and said angrily, "Who are you! If you break into someone else's castle, I'm going to call the police!"

"We are the police."

"..."

Under the explanation of the old woman's teeth and claws, the police in Chihuahua finally confirmed Xue Yu's safety, and then left dissatisfied.

The only people left were Du Lianshang, Xue Chen and a man in a black suit.

Xue Yan wants to stay in China to handle Master Xue's funeral.

So only Xue Chen caught up with Du Lianshang's car.

The man in the black suit has been staring at Xue Yu since he came in.

"Hey~ It's the first time I've seen Brother Du so anxious." After everyone relaxed, the man put his hands on the back of his head and laughed foolishly.

Xue Yu had already stopped crying, and raised her red and swollen eyes to look.

Du Lianshang held the man's face with his big palm to wipe away tears, and looked at the man's red and swollen eyes distressedly. "Leave him alone. He's my brother."

The old woman looked at the others: "Are you friends of the young master and the young master?"

"Howard? Where is he?" Du Lianshang was furious and wanted to find Howard.

Xue Yu took Radulian Shang's hand.

Du Lianshang just held the man's hand firmly in his backhand.

The old woman looked at the two people who were close, and she was enlightened, "If you want to see the young master... I will take you there."

The old woman seemed to have made up her mind.

"follow me."

basement.

Yan Yi was beside the sleeping Howard's bed.

When the door opened, everyone looked at each other differently. ——They always thought that Yan Yi left with the police.

The old woman is used to it.

After all, Young Master Yan is the only friend that Young Master brought to the castle.

"The young master has been suffering mentally since the passing of the master and the young miss." The old woman said sadly, "The daily painkillers can't stop the young master's condition from getting worse. I hope you can..."

Yan Yi suddenly said: "I will take him to the doctor."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, "No! That would expose the problems of the Howard family to the world, and this is about Howard's honor..."

"Is his life important or the illusory title?" Yan Yi said coldly. "Mrs. Feng, haven't you lost enough?"

The old woman was dumbfounded.

Then he covered his face, unable to make a sound for a long time.

Hundreds of years ago, Howard was a prestigious earl, they owned the manor land, and they were loved by the queen.However, in the rest of the situation, in the changing era, Howard was less and less valued, until the master's grandfather committed a crime, and the earldom passed down from generation to generation was also deprived.Only the name is left.

However, the nobility in Howard's blood for generations does not allow them to engage in livelihood with the public.Until it was really difficult to maintain the accommodation of hundreds of servants in the castle, the master's father had to lower his head, dismissed a large number of servants, and integrated into the society.

When the old man grew up, the old man who was smart and obsessed with research since childhood became a scientist.Outsiders praised him, but the master's father was ashamed of it. He hoped that his son would make friends with nobles and regain their generational title.But the dull and bad-spoken master couldn't do it, and the playful young son was also embarrassed by the heavy responsibility.

The master's father died under the curse.

The last straw that crushed the old man was the press conference of the finished product of the old man's research.At that press conference, no one knew what happened, only that hundreds of scientists participated and dozens of nobles participated in the auction.After that, the master who came back with the finished product of his research has stayed behind closed doors since then.

It's not that the old woman is ignorant of what the master has done.

He just wanted to prove to the world, to his father, that the Howard family had the best genes.

Perhaps, for the honor of the Howard family, the master is the one who values ​​the most.

The old woman is tired.

Yan Yi: "Madam Feng, please think about it for Madam."

The old woman finally opened her eyes.

The madam was whom she grew up with, and she and the master were childhood sweethearts.And the master who loved his wife so much even rebelled against his majestic father in order to marry his wife.

But since the young master disappeared, the young lady and the master passed away one after another, even the memory of the hit wife can only be passed in reality and in her own fantasy.

She only remembers that she has three children, three children who have traveled far away.

She is waiting for the return of the children every day.

However, he didn't mention a word about the master. ——The doctor said that this is the self-help of the lady's body, and the brain automatically excludes the person who created the most painful memories in the memory.

It is equivalent to the fact that there is no such person as the master in Madam's life.Whether it is the past or the future.

Old woman: "The young master is Madam's only sustenance. If you let him take him away, what will Madam do?"

Because the eldest and young master came every week, the wife hoped to continue waiting for the other two children.

"I can take care of...her." Xue Yu by the door suddenly said.
