[Zhongyingmei] Vampires don't want to inherit

It was another sunny morning, and Hailang Dobbs went fishing in a small boat early in the morning.He needed to catch enough fish to marinate for him and Mrs. Dobbs' winter food before the summer was over.

Helen Dobbs and Mary Dobbs have lived on this deserted island for five years, and it only took a short time to go from being in a hurry at the beginning to being at ease now.They are not poor people who have suffered shipwreck or some other tragedy. They have given up their "advanced" life in a big city and came to this deserted island on their own initiative.The couple consider this island their dream land, a place where they can find peace of mind.

The only pity is that the two of them have no children. At first, it was because they did not know whether the fragile baby could survive in a deserted place. Now that the two of them have gotten used to living on a deserted island, they decided to let nature take its course. There has been no good news. The two felt a little regretful.

Today is destined to be an extraordinary day. The peaceful life of the Dobbs couple was finally broken by the teenager brought back by Mr. Dobbs.

When Mr. Dobbs collected the net, he obviously found that the weight of the fishing net was not the same as before, which made him vigilant.There are many fish species in the Atlantic Ocean that people who live on land have never seen before. Most of them migrate according to the seasons, and some will stay in a sea area for many years.Mr. Dobbs has seen many aggressive fish, and he keeps an absolute safe distance from those ocean overlords. He must ensure the safety of himself and his wife.

On this uninhabited island, without advanced medical facilities, a cold could kill a person.He and his wife have always paid attention to their health. Every year, he would sail to the nearest small town to buy enough commonly used medicines.

Mr. Dobbs was not sure what was caught in the fishing net. Usually there were no dangerous fish in the waters near the island, but occasionally when the wind and waves were strong, he would find injured fish washed ashore.He hesitated for a long time, but decided to see what was in the fishing net.If it is a big dead fish, you can lighten his burden enough, but if it is a wounded live fish, he must abandon the fishing net and escape, and he cannot take risks.

Fortunately, there was no dangerous fish in the fishing net, but a juvenile.Mr. Dobbs hurriedly pulled the boy onto the boat, brushed away his wet hair, revealing a handsome face and breathing slightly.The teenager was not wearing the cheap but sturdy sailor suits of rough sailors, but the upper-class clothes Dobbs had seen on TV before.Perhaps this is a rich man who wanted to sail around the world, but unfortunately encountered a shipwreck.

"Oh, Hailang. Where did you find this child?" Mrs. Dobbs was sitting in front of the cabin, basking in the sun and rubbing hemp. She saw her husband carrying a child back at a glance.

Mr. Dobbs put the boy on the bed and wiped his sweat, "Mary, my fishing net caught him. He may have been shipwrecked, but fortunately he is still alive."

Mrs. Dobbs crossed herself and prayed silently to God, "Poor child, please protect him."

"Cough, cough." Renault choked out a few sips of water, finally opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a woman who was looking at him worriedly.

"Oh, God bless. Poor kid, you're finally awake." Mrs. Dobbs noticed that Raynor's eyes were as clear as the sea, which made her feel good about the boy, "You feel good Have you ordered? Do you want to eat? How about fish porridge?"

Mrs. Dobbs got up and wiped the apron with her hands. She didn't feel anything at first, but she was very reserved after the boy woke up.She smiled, and seeing that Renault didn't refuse, she turned around and prepared food for him.

It took Renault a while to recover. His last memory was that the wall of the world had been absorbing his power. It didn't stop until the power was exhausted, and began to absorb his vitality.He thought he would die in that strange realm, but he never expected to wake up one day.

He should have been rescued, but looking at the woman's dress, she doesn't look like a person from a big city. What kind of place is this place?

"System? System? Are you still there?" Renault urgently needed the system to answer his questions.

"Good morning, host. I'm glad to see you survived again." The system's voice was monotonous and cold, but Lei Nuo felt that he could hear the anger in the system's tone.

After Renault lost consciousness, the system decisively used the hard-won points to transfer, and the system was forced to sleep during the transfer.After the system restarted, it found that Renault was floating in the sea. It used the few remaining points to protect Renault until someone fished him out of the sea.

"It's really lucky to be alive." Lei Nuo touched his chest with lingering fear, and after touching it twice, he realized that something was wrong. He spread his hand and made a full circle.

"Hey, what's the situation? System?"

"Your location cannot be located at present, and the system cannot connect to the satellite network. You are in extreme danger when you are in the world wall, and the system has transferred you."

"You saved me again, thank you. Wait, what happened to my hand..."

"Transfer requires a lot of energy. All the points you get after completing your aspirations in Gotham are converted into energy for... blah... cut off the connection between you and the world wall and transfer."

"Due to the huge amount of energy required... 呵啦... The system has also taken away the advanced skills and emotions you gained in Gotham and transformed them into strength supplements... 呵啦... Since the energy pool is empty, the system will enter a dormant state until Energy replenishment... 呵啦... to the minimum. Please also ask the host to take care of... 呵啦... yourself."

The system intermittently explained the current situation to Renault, the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely.Renault called the system again and again in a panicked low voice, but there was no response.

Renault sat up a little bit. From his perspective, he could see the woman was busy outside the wooden house. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.

The current situation is not very good. According to the system's explanation, he was transferred before being completely sucked by the world wall. According to the price paid for this transfer, it must not be a simple space transfer, and it is very likely that it is time and space travel.When Renault was revived in Gotham just now, the system mentioned the importance of points. If there is no conversion of points into energy, the system will go to sleep first. If there is no energy replenishment for a long time, Renault will also die.

Renault felt dense sweat dripping from his head, he was in a very dangerous situation.He doesn't know the time and place he is in, his strength is damaged, his self-healing ability can only repair his body's injuries but not his strength, and the most dangerous thing is that he is hungry.

When Mrs. Dobbs came in with the porridge, she saw Renault pressing his hands on his stomach and looking extremely uncomfortable. She put the porridge beside the bed and went to get a towel to wipe Renault's sweat.Her body smelled of the sun and the sea, warm and inclusive, which made Lei Nuo feel as if he backed away. Now he is afraid of the sun.

"Son, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Mrs. Dobbs misunderstood Raynor's actions, and she thought the child thought she was a bad person.

"Where is this?" This was the first time Renault spoke after waking up.

"This is Dobbs Island, a small island in the Atlantic Ocean. My husband found you in the sea. Where did you come from? Were you shipwrecked?"

"Dobbs..." Renault had heard of the Atlantic Ocean, but he had never heard of Dobbs Island. He didn't know much about the area other than Gotham. Unknown island.

Mrs. Dobbs smiled, "I am Mary Dobbs. This island was discovered by my husband. No one has ever discovered this island before. There are only my husband and I on the island, and now there is one you. We call it It's Dobbs Isle. What's your name, boy, and where's your home."

"Reynolds, Reynolds Straw. My home is in Gotham. Is this close to Gotham?"

"Gotham?" Mrs. Dobbs was a little surprised, "What is Gotham? Is it in the United States? Or Canada? Sorry, boy, I have never heard of such a city. Maybe I can wait for my husband to come back and ask him." .”

Reynolds was a little sluggish. Mrs. Dobbs could mention the United States, indicating that there were not many problems in time, but she said that she had never heard of Gotham, and the problem was very big. After all, the chaos in Gotham is known to the whole world.Now I can only hope that this lady never cares about economics and politics, and concentrates on running her own small family, so she doesn't know Gotham.

Reynolds refused Mrs. Dobbs's offer to feed him, and picked up a spoonful of porridge and put it into his mouth.The fish used in the fish porridge was just caught today and is very fresh. In addition to rice and fish fillets, only a little salt is added to the porridge for seasoning.This was good, the warm porridge warmed up Renault's cold body and made his speech less difficult.

"The porridge tastes delicious." This compliment was sincere. Vampires have a different sense of taste when eating human food. The purer the food, the more vampires can accept it.

The sun shifted a little bit, and Renault's spirit improved visibly to the naked eye, which in the eyes of Mrs. Dobbs was the sign of Renault's health.

"Hailang, you are finally back. That child is awake." Mrs. Dobbs asked Renault to rest in the wooden house, and she waited outside the house for Mr. Dobbs to come back.

When Mr. Dobbs came back, he was carrying a wooden bed, which he had spent the afternoon making. Reynolds was going to live on the island for a while, and there must be a place to live.

"That child is blessed by the Lord. By the way, did he tell his origin?"

"He said he was from Gotham. I've never heard of this city. Have you?"

"Gotham? He must be joking. I know Gotham. There is a city called Gotham in a comic that my former boss' son liked very much."

comics?Gotham?

Renault's hand tightened unconsciously. Although the conversation between Mr. Dobbs and Mrs. Dobbs was not loud, with Renault's ear, he could hear every word.

Mr. Dobbs moved the wooden bed in, chose a good place to put it, and clapped his hands before turning to look at Renault, "Mary said that you are awake, this is really rare good news."

"I'm Helen Dobbs, what's your name?" Mr. Dobbs is an optimistic and kind person. He is sincerely happy for Raynor's waking up. He saved a life.

"Renault, Renault Straw."

"Mary said you're from Gotham, maybe you mean from New York?" Mr. Dobbs didn't know much about comics, but when he was helping his boss take care of the child, he heard the child say that Gotham is from New York. Night, Metropolis is New York's day.

Reynolds did not deny that, he has confirmed that the Dobbs and his wife really do not know the city of Gotham, but there is that in the comics that shows that Gotham still exists.He can go to New York first, and then go back to Gotham by himself. There is a map of the whole United States in the system, and he can find it by himself.

"It seems that you need to live here for a while. I will take you to the nearest town when the waves calm down, and then you can contact your family. Mary, we have to list all the things we will use next year in these two days List, this year's procurement plan will be advanced."

Mrs. Dobbs nodded with a smile. "I'll prepare it in advance. The boy's parents must be delighted to know he's alive."

"I... have no parents." Renault was a little depressed, but he had no parents. He was a random character in the game, and the Gotham system reshaped his body for him. From the beginning to the end, he didn't have any relatives.

Mrs. Dobbs covered her mouth. In her eyes, Reynolds was looking down, looking extremely pitiful. "Poor child, how do you survive without parents? Do you have any relatives in New York?"

Renault shook his head, he could have had it, but he gave up.This made him even more depressed, and he felt that his ability to control his emotions had declined a lot since he became smaller.

Mrs. Dobbs and Mr. Dobbs looked at each other, each thinking differently.

Sensitively aware of what the Dobbs and his wife wanted to say, Renault pretended to yawn.

"Son, sleep a little longer. You still have a lot of time, and you can talk about everything later." Mrs. Dobbs stepped forward to cover Renault with a thin blanket, and seeing that Renault closed his eyes, she pulled Mr. Dobbs out cabin.

The two walked away deliberately, and after confirming that the sound would not disturb Renault, Mr. Dobbs spoke first, "I know what you're thinking, but this is inappropriate."

"Why? This child has no parents and no relatives. He escaped from the dead and came to this island. He is a gift from the Lord." Mrs. Dobbs had tears in her eyes. She woke up when she heard that Reynolds had no relatives He decided to adopt Renault.She knows what's going on with her body, and she doesn't know how long she can be with Hailang. If one day she really leaves, she hopes to have a child who can accompany Hailang so that he won't be left alone.

Mr. Dobbs sighed, and held Mrs. Dobbs's hand, "Mary, it's our choice to come to this island to live the most primitive life. We can accept the tranquility here, but we can't force others People live the same life as us. The way that child dresses and speaks is not brought up by ordinary people, how could he accept to spend his whole life in such a backward island.”

Mrs. Dobbs threw herself into Mr. Dobbs's arms and wept silently. Hai Lang loved his wife dearly, but he could not force the child to be kept for his wife's wish.

"Okay, okay, don't cry. Let the child choose." Mr. Dobbs finally let go. He couldn't bear his wife's silent crying anymore, and he worried that his wife's condition would be aggravated by crying. "We treat him like our own child, and tell him our thoughts after he adapts to life on the island, and let him choose whether to stay or leave."

Mrs. Dobbs sniffed and agreed. She shyly avoided Mr. Dobbs' sight and wiped her eyes.Mr. Dobbs never let go of her hand, and the two of them walked slowly by the seaside, admiring the last rays of the sun.

Renault lay on the bed and listened to the Dobbs couple's words completely. He was not angry because Mrs. Dobbs wanted to keep him, but his mood was very complicated.

One of the reasons he wants to go back to Gotham is because it counts as half of his home there, but when he thinks about it, it doesn't make much difference whether he goes back to Gotham or not. The forces he formed in Gotham mainly serve his ambitions, and now the Sly King's ambitions are gone. Finished, the men of those forces have lost their effect.Another reason is Bruce Wayne, the two have broken up, and Leno hasn't figured out how to face him yet.He needs time to think about how to live in the future.

The moon took the place of the sun, and the Dobbs and his wife quietly packed up and went to bed. Reynolds sat on his new bed, and the moonlight could just shine on him through the window.He could feel the moonlight melting into his skin, slowly accumulating strength.

……

Time passed quickly, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.Mrs. Dobbs treated him sincerely, that kind of meticulous care that Renault had never enjoyed, and the philosophy he had always pursued was exchange and plunder.Mrs. Dobbs's unreserved sincerity almost overwhelmed him.

Sometimes Renault also thinks that staying on the island is a good choice. Although the island has no electricity, no internet, and everything returns to the original, it is not annoying.Because the Dobbs couple faced life with a peaceful mind from beginning to end.

He could feel the frailty of Mrs. Dobbs's body, and he could see Mrs. Dobbs often staring at the sea with melancholy eyes waiting for Mr. Dobbs' return when she was alone.The Dobbs couple support each other and rely on each other. The love between them is pure, and there is no impurity in the relationship with each other.Maybe life on the island is lonely and boring, but the two of them can feel happy together.

Mrs. Dobbs and Mr. Dobbs really treated Renault like a child, and exchanged their sincerity for Renault's trust.This kind of warmth from the elders was something Renault had never felt before. The better the Dobbs and his wife treated him, the more frightened he was.If he was just an ordinary person, maybe he could stay on the island without burden and accompany the couple to the end of their lives.

But he is no ordinary human, he is a vampire.He relies on blood to maintain his life. For the past week, he has only relied on moonlight and a little fish blood to supplement his physical strength, but this can't satisfy his appetite. He is very worried that one day he will completely lose control and kill this kind couple.

"How is your day today? Have you gone out for a stroll? There are quite a lot of interesting things on this small island." At noon, Mr. Dobbs took the initiative to bring up the topic.

Renault always stays in the wooden house during the day, and only goes out for a walk in the evening, which is not good for his health.Mrs. Dobbs and her husband had mentioned many times that Reynolds should be allowed to spend more time in the sun.

Renault smiled slightly, "The sea is a bit scary during the day, you know, I have a little aftereffect of sea water now."

"This is a normal phenomenon." Hayron Dobbs sighed. He has been at sea for so many years, and he has heard sailors say that most people who have experienced shipwrecks have shadows on the sea, and only a very few people can overcome it.But Renault must overcome his fear of the sea. Whether he stays or leaves, he will definitely get in touch with the sea at close range.

"Go south and there is a forest, you can go there and take a gun, don't go too deep." Hailang thought of a good idea. When he first came to this island, he spent a long time exploring this place. Everywhere on the island, the outskirts of the forest are safe.Children are always curious, and giving them a place to explore always holds their attention, and running and jumping is good for their health.

"The woods? Are there any animals in it?" Renault raised his curiosity. He hasn't turned around the island much. During the day, he needs to avoid direct sunlight. Only in the evening can he accompany Mrs. Dobbs for a walk or help her do what he can. Work, he has to bask in the moon at night, and has no time to explore.

"Yes, but they are all small animals. Maybe there are some medium-sized animals in the depths of the forest? I haven't seen them. After all, I am more familiar with life at sea. Son, if you go on an adventure, you must pay attention to safety." Mr. Dobbs said to Lei Nuo already has a preliminary understanding that this child is very smart and stable. Sometimes he feels that this child is not mature enough to be a child, and he is not as rebellious as those adolescents. He believes that Lei Nuo can take good care of himself.

Renault blinked and showed a cute smile.Mr. Dobbs sighed in his heart when he saw this smile. He couldn't understand this smile very well. He often used this expression when he tricked his mother into painting when he was a child, but actually went crazy with his friends.It seems that I have to go with Lei Nuo, lest he is really in danger, but I can't follow directly, I have to follow quietly, without letting Lei Nuo find out.

Ever since Lei Nuo knew that there was an uncultivated forest on the island, he had kept this matter in his heart.If he can find animals in the woods, he will have more choices. After all, vampires live on blood, and it doesn't have to be human blood. In addition to sucking human blood to be more advanced, the feeling of eating instant noodles is definitely different from the feeling of eating a state banquet.As for Mr. Dobbs' concern about Renault's safety, it is actually completely unnecessary. Even if Renault's ability has not returned to its peak, there is no problem at all walking sideways on this island.

Renault sat quietly on his bed. He had been waiting for Dobbs and his wife to fall asleep. After hearing their long breathing, he quietly got out of bed, tiptoed out of the wooden house, and walked toward what Hayron Dobbs said. Lin Zi went.

Mrs. Dobbs has not been sleeping very well at night, and she is often awakened by pain in her sleep.When she sat up, her hand was still pressing her heart. She took a few breaths and subconsciously looked at Mr. Dobbs. Mr. Hailang was sleeping soundly.She looked at Lei Nuo's bed again, and Lei Nuo's figure was no longer on the bed. Regardless of her own pain, she stretched out her hand to wake up Helen Dobbs.

"Hailang, wake up, Lei Nuo is gone!"
