I didn't know you were such a vampire

The task Qiaoya got from Mario was only to investigate the unknown fire in Isaac Village for the colleague whose mother lived in Isaac Village. Finding clues about Marco was just her own private matter. After getting no positive answer here, she stayed around the city of Voltra for a few more days, and after getting some information from the local residents, she rode a big black horse and returned to Florence.

At this time, it has entered September, and the boundary of the month is like a sign of the changing face of the weather. In the evening, her horseshoe crossed the boundary of Waterla, and the sky suddenly darkened. She was going to a hotel ahead. Looking at the weather, I had a premonition that heavy rain was coming, so I went directly to a farmer who appeared first in my field of vision, and spent a little more money than staying in a hotel for one night.

This farmer has no stables, only a small sheepfold, in which there are three sheep squatting, including a lamb. After obtaining the owner's consent, she leads the aggrieved big black horse into the sheepfold, and has a meal. After being appeased, she returned to the house, and as soon as she stepped into the house, the torrential rain that had accumulated for a long time fell down impatiently, and the sound of raindrops hitting the ground and plants could be heard through the window.

The farmer Joya stayed at this time was not as enthusiastic as the family outside Florence. The host and hostess rarely spoke. After agreeing to Joya’s request and accepting the money, they did not speak to Joya again. , and the only child in this family is only seven or eight years old, a boy who seems very timid, and only dares to secretly glance at Qiao Ya from the corner of her eye when she is not looking at him. The child immediately ran to hide behind the pillars in the house.

Although the hospitality is not warm, the family is still a devout Catholic. Even though the house is barren, they still enshrine a small statue of the Virgin Mary.Even though the dinner was just a piece of whole grain bread and a cup of goat milk with a strong smell, the family prayed a full procedure before dinner before they started eating.

In order not to show her flaws in front of strangers, Qiao Ya forced herself to finish the glass of goat's milk, probably because the family was poorer than the farmer in Florence, and the cup of goat's milk for dinner was not enough, so she gritted her teeth, As soon as I closed my eyes, I just stuffed it into my stomach.And until she entered the house after dinner, she still hadn't recovered from the smell of goat's milk. Only when she opened the window and smelled the fresh earthy smell in the rain did she feel a little better.

She sat by the window for a while before the little boy from the master's house slowly opened the door and moved his body inside.

When Qiao Ya came to stay, the host said that there were only two bedrooms in his house, one was for the hostess and the other was for the children. The couple originally planned to let the children stay with them that night. However, after seeing the same small bed in the two bedrooms, Qiao Ya felt that such a bed was too crowded for three people, so she directly said that she didn't mind sharing the same bed with a child.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but when the master and hostess agreed to Qiao Ya's proposal and let Qiao Ya sleep in the same bed with the little boy, she saw the expression on the child's face that could even be described as frightened.

She had a little doubt about herself at that time.

And the child didn't move into the room slowly until bedtime. From entering the room to climbing into the bed, he didn't dare to look at her, which made her previous doubts become self-doubts. All along, several younger siblings have been vying to cling to her. Why? When she came to this child, she seemed to be the most feared bedside monster for children.

And at this moment, there was a moment of bright daylight outside the window, and Qiao Ya's mind went blank at this moment, followed by a thunderstorm resounding through the sky amidst the sound of rain.

Her body trembled, and before she had time to draw herself between her arms, she heard a child's sobbing from the little bed, and because of this sobbing, her fear of thunder was lessened. a lot.She exhaled, stood up, shut out the sound of the rain and the rumbling thunder in the distance, and then slowly walked to the bed.

The little boy had already retracted himself into the quilt, and the quilt raised a hill and was trembling slightly.

Qiao Ya suddenly thought of the domineering and domineering Juan who shivered like herself every time there was a thunderstorm.When he was a child, Juan lived next door to her. Whenever it rained, regardless of whether there would be thunder or not, Juan would hold his pillow and knock on the door of Joya's room, and then get into Joya's quilt.

And strangely, when there was someone who was more afraid of thunder than herself, Qiao Ya was no longer so afraid. She hugged Juan, who was much shorter than herself, and comforted him softly, saying In the early morning after the heavy rain at night, the flowers are the most beautiful, and the singing of the birds is also the most melodious.

Like coaxing Juan when he was a child, Qiao Ya gently hugged the hill covered by the cup, patted it with her hand, thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, I'm also afraid of thunder."

After a long time, she heard a muffled voice from under the quilt: "I, I'm not afraid of thunder, I'm afraid of you..."

Qiao Ya blinked her eyes, since when was she scarier than thunder?

She wanted to keep asking, but she heard the little boy huddled under the quilt crying and saying, "Damn, when there was thunder and rain last time, a little lamb died in my house..."

Qiao Ya patted the child on the back and said, "The little lamb is very poor..."

"It was bitten to death by a boy." The little boy complained in tears, "He looks a lot like you..."

……

…………

"Boom!"

There was another thunderclap, shaking Qiao Ya almost on the spot. If she had a mirror in her hand at this time, she would be able to see from the mirror that her face was as pale as those vampires living in the old castle.

She exhaled and tried to calm down her emotions. With trembling hands, she comforted the boy who was huddled under the quilt, and made her voice softer, asking, "How old is he? Is he also blond? Does your facial features look like mine?"

After a long time, the boy got out of the quilt tremblingly, stared at Qiao Ya's face for a while, and then said: "He...is about my age, with blond hair, and looks very similar to you. After he finished speaking, he trembled again, and said, "My room is very close to the sheepfold, so I heard the cry of the lamb, so I poked my head out of the window to look..."

Then on such a thunderstorm night, he poked his head out of the window and saw a blond boy in dirty clothes crouching in the sheepfold. The blond boy seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly straightened his body. Only at this time did he see that under the other party was his newborn lamb. The fur on the lamb's body had been dyed red, and its four thin legs were constantly convulsing, as if it was not dead yet.

And the boy who was lying on top of it before turned to look at him.At this time, lightning brought out a light like daylight not far away. At this moment, he only saw the other party's delicate and lovely face and the blood stains on his face, and his legs became weak from fright, and he fell to the ground.

"The little lamb was delivered by my mother and I, and it was born less than a week..." The little boy began to cry as he spoke.

Qiao Ya was silent, held him in her arms, and patted his back gently. The child fell asleep not long after crying tired, but Qiao Ya was not tired when she hugged him, she was a little dazed Looking out of the window, looking at the moment when the lightning appeared, the low eaves of the sheep pen that was able to break into her field of vision through the light, just like that, spent a thunderous and rainy night.

The heavy rain did not stop until it was almost dawn. Just like Qiao Ya said before, the flowers were more colorful and the birdsong was more crisp in the morning after the heavy rain.

After she packed her luggage and went out, she happened to meet the hostess who got up early to prepare breakfast. The hostess nodded slightly as a greeting, and then she was about to turn her head and go to the kitchen. Before she left, Qiao Ya asked: "Excuse me, is there any beast nearby?"

The hostess was stunned for a moment, then looked back at her, seemed to be thinking for a while, then nodded, and said: "A few months ago, a wolf killed a young lamb in my family."

"Wolf?" Qiao Ya tilted her head, "Did you see it?"

"I didn't see it, but there are two blood holes in the neck of my little lamb. It wasn't bitten by a wolf, what else could it be bitten by?" the hostess said.

"But..." Qiao Ya paused, "I heard that it was bitten by a child with blond hair."

The hostess' complexion changed, and she hurriedly said: "It's just a child's nonsense, young man, don't believe it, how a child can bite two blood holes so deep on a lamb."

Qiao Ya smiled and said, "Of course, I don't believe it, so I'm here to ask you."

The hostess breathed a sigh of relief, and she showed a absent-minded smile to Qiao Ya, and said, "Because of my child's nonsense, the people nearby said that we were punished by God because our family was impious, young man, You are from a foreign country, but don't listen to such nonsense and spread it outside..."

"No." Qiao Ya replied. She was about to walk towards the door when she suddenly remembered something and turned to ask the panic-stricken hostess leaning against the pillar, "By the way, do you still remember this When did it happen?"

The hostess thought about it carefully, and then said, "That's when it rains most frequently in winter."

winter.

Qiao Ya had a smile on her face, but her heart sank suddenly.

In winter, it was the time when Ricardo was hanged and Marco mysteriously disappeared from the tower of the Lord's Palace.
